Oh How I LOVE Pay Day

I really looked forward to pay day this month, I was on a shopping ban (kind of) and had my eye on a couple of things that I knew would disappear if I didn't buy them fast! I don't know if that's true for all of them but certainly a couple! Or it might just be shoppers anxiety!

I popped into Victorias Secret first to have a look at the swimwear and annoyingly they didn't have my sizes in the ones I wanted so went for a mismatched bikini. Nice and bright for the next holiday and I LOVE the way VS make bikini bottoms to hug the bum ;)

Next...I have been lusting over the Miu Miu cat eye sunglasses for a while. They are different to any other pairs I have but didn't know whether to spurge as, hey wouldn't be a forever item! I break sunglasses so easily! I have a sunglasses graveyard of my fav pairs I can't bare to throw away! Sad cow! So when I came across this pair from Spitfire on ASOS I had to get them!  

 Spitfire Helix Cat Eye Sunglasses, £24

The next buy is from my fav Zara. Now, I should have waited and bought a leather jacket as my current one is loosing shape BUT this A/W I want a variety of different coats/blazers/jackets so didn't want to spend a fortune! I found this Acne style and the price suited me! It fits perfectly and love the belt around the waist. Will be perfect for trousers, jeans, dresses and skirts.

Zara P-Leather Biker Jacket, £69.99

Another Zara buy is my double breasted peak shouldered blazer! I have needed a new blazer for a while but never found the right style but this is just what I had in my mind. It's slightly longer in the body with peaked upwards shoulders which is so flattering and I love navy as black can sometimes look too harsh!

Zara Navy Blazer, £29.99

Then I popped in to Primark, to buy the usual essentials... New lounge wear, pjs etc and always like to have a browse and found these two jumpers which will be nice and versatile! The polka dot is knitted and the rose and check is a more boxy shape and very fine knit. Does black and white ever get old?!?

Primark Jumpers £12 - £14 

I'm not gonna ramble but the last thing I wanna share is my first ever pair of large earrings! I love a big necklace never earrings... So thought I would try some inexpensive ones out! Sticking with the mono theme!!

Summer Essentials

Blue Clutch: H&M, Silver Clutch: Zara, Woven Clutch: Primark, Scarf: Alexander McQueen, Necklace: New Look, Rings: YSL, Bracelet: Hermes, Sunglasses: Primark, Perfume: Eternity Summer, Hat: Matalan Men's

I hate packing so much! Trying to work out what to take on holiday is hard! I mean, what if you get there and you've left that top that goes perfectly with your favourite shorts at home! Queue over packing! But I always have a few essentials I put in the case! A hat or two, silk scarf, clutch bags which could go with anything, a statement necklace to jazz up any outfit, sunglasses (I confess I take around 6 pairs!) and a summer perfume. My favourite summer scent which reminds me of a lot of of my favourite holidays is Eternity Summer by Calvin Klein. It's such a clean light scent. 

Trends change so quickly, that if you can't afford designer accessories then it doesn't matter! I never buy designer unless I can see it being a forever item or unless its a good cost per wear! I think it might have been gok wan that introduced me to this concept BUT it is worth a thought before you go to the tills! If an item is cheap but you'll only wear once then its guilt free surely, but if there is something slightly more expensive that you'll have for longer i.e wear more then why not invest?!?  

Cost of item / Times worn = Cost per wear!
