Monday's 'Accidental' Buys

Hey guys!
I headed out today to pick up a parcel at Royal Mail and ended up going back home through town. And of course, something caught my eye....
In Republic.

It was this.
A tye dye long top, that also had studs on the top.

Although there was 20% off for students, it still would have made it just over £20, which I thought was a total rip off. So I walked round the shop to see other pretty stuff.. I don't always find things in Republic but today everything I liked. I have found that all the high street shops this season hold all dark garments and we're seeing burgundys, cobalts, creams, browns and blacks. I just find it boring, I love colour and print and it just seems to be lacking at the moment. Republic actually had some cute things in there.

This cute little number. A denim shirt dress with cute stars on the bodice.

Aww birds on a playsuit :)

Love the length and the embellished top.

Then I realised I could pick up a vest top from Primark for a couple of quid and do it myself.
And of course, me being me, ended up coming across other things...

This is the vest I'm going to dye. I will do another blog post in a bit to show you the results! Excited. Love dying stuff haha. £2

Found this nice little shirt in the sale rack in Primark. £5

These tops I found, they're quite loose so can chill or could even use them for going out with jeans and a pair of heels. £6 each.

Would love to see what you guys have bought recently!

Dare devil?

I'm feeling a tad 'dare devilish' at the moment. I'm a person who likes to be in my comfort zone very much. I read somewhere the other day, 'you're only young once' and it finally sunk into my head that I am not getting any younger so f**k it, kinda thing! Wooo...

So when I decided to drive to Southampton from Portsmouth to shop, and not know where I was going it did shock me slightly. Paha. This is a big deal guys.

Southampton is hugeeeeee for shopping and mainly just high street shops and food places, although we didn't actually get round it all before we left. We all went shopping for something nice to wear that evening for a uni friends birthday. I had searched everywhere I could even in all the little cheap shops but not found anything, purely because I'm finding all this seasons colours, erm, a bit, crap if I'm honest.

I know it's autumn soon, but the weather's drab enough without all our clothes being the colour of bin bags aswell.
Things that are doing my nut in at the mo..
1. Army print. If I wanted to wear army print, I would have gone in the army. It was quite cool to begin with but now everyone has a camo jacket. Ergh.
2. Leopard print. Leopard print on dresses, on leggings, on hairband, shoes? Shoes? Really. Bore off leopard print.
Excuse the rant.


Hey, back to what I actually ended up with...

Picture is so terrible because I had to buy the worst, cheapest camera ever. The buttons are little gold studs. It's cute :) £18 (with student discount) from New Look (Cameo Rose section).


Emmmmmmmmmaaaaaa xo
