Coat and Jacket Haul.

Happy New Year everyone, I hope you have all been blessed with a good start to 2012 :)

I just wanted to post about a coat and jacket I have bought in the last week.

The first one is a coat I bought in Topshop on sale, it's a waxed coat something I've been after for some time :)

Since I live in the Welsh countryside with lots of sheep, mud and crappy weather I thought it was time I bought something country style'ish, I need wellington boots next. 

 

I thought it was a good price down to £40 from £85, and it was the last in my size :)

So here is a pic of me wearing it and some solo shots.

I love that this coat feels that you can wear it out in the country having a little stroll or you can wear it shopping without looking scruffy.

The fur collar can be taken off which is a bonus, as I know I can wear it during the rainy spring months but at the moment I like wearing it with the fur collar so I can feel a little glamorous and warm.

The belt also gives it a nice structured, put together feel which I found other waxed coats/jackets did not have.

The jacket I bought was quite different for me, I don't really wear many blazer type jackets (I use to, but not so much lately) however it was more of the colour that was alien to my jacket wardrobe.

A pink blazer :)

I didn't intend on buying one, it was more of an impulse thing and I'm glad it happened :)

Waiting in the queue in H&M there was a pile of pink jackets on the table all laid out, and they caught my eye and I thought to myself 'they're cute'. Then I saw that they were just £14.99 and I grabbed one and took it to the checkout without thinking.

It's quite a striking pink, but I love it I think it will look really nice during the spring summer months.

I think I'll probably pair it with something studded to harden it up a bit.

What I also love is the spotty lining inside, so cute.

Speaking of Welsh weather I thought I'd just pop some phone shots in that I took over a week ago, so you'd get the idea,lol.

 Thank you for reading and I wish you all the best for 2012 :)

Nice day out with friends casual OOTD :)

 Hi I just thought I'd do an outfit of the day as I haven't done one in a very long time.

Today I went out for a meal and coffees with my close friends. There was a lot of messing around and laughs and it really made my week :)

It's been snowing a little in Wales so a cosy knitted dress from H&M was very apt as keeping warm was of importance, I hate being cold. Brrr...

I teamed it with thick tights, a warm parka and furry snood and boots (kinda sounds like puss in boots).

Anyway here are some pics.

 What I'm wearing:

H&M knitted dress (I think it's gone into since since buying).

Tights from Dorothy Perkins

Boots by Head Over Heels for Dune (last season)

Snood furry thing by Warehouse

Coat from Topshop (last season also).

What also made me happy was buying Benefit's Hoola Bronzer :)

During the summer I bought Dandelion and it has been my HG blush since, however I'm looking a tad more ghostly pale than usual (if possible) so I thought I need a little bronzing.

I will try to review soon, but here are some quick pictures I've just taken :)

I bought mine at Debenhams

 

Hope you all had a lovely weekend :)

Take care x

Bought but havent worn yet....

 Hi and sorry for being a rubbish blogger, I don't really have any excuses for not blogging but for pure laziness.

So today instead of thinking 'I need to blog' I'm doing it :)

I sat looking around my room wondering where to start and I noticed a pile of clothes hanging on my wardrobe door, still with their price tags on and I thought 'Bingo', that's what I'll blog about.

I keep meaning to wear them but I'm in such a rush most mornings I go with what I know, and out the door I go.

Anyway I just wanted to show my recent purchases, because I love them :)

 H&M Dress (not sure of the price I paid)

 Another H&M dress £25                              Dress from TKMaxx £14.99

 H&M Shirt, just because it was on 

sale at £7.      H&M Jumper £19.99

 Jumper dress Dorothy Perkins £20 (on sale).

 Bought these in Debenhams, they're by Head over Heals for Dune and were about £40ish.

River Island skirt paid £20

And a bit of a cheat because it doesn't have the tag on and I have used it everyday since the 12th October, my 28th Birthday present from my parents a few weeks back a Modalu Pippa Bag in black croc, it's the love of my life :)
