I just can't help myself...

With the return to France comes the return of my shopping addiction. Whenever I find myself bored at the weekends I somehow find myself parting with my money.. and recently I have been loving a shop called Stradavarius. I think this is only in France and Spain but I might be wrong, either way they have an online store here.

There is a lot of classy and quality items at good prices. The cardigan above has been my outfit staple for months now.

They had a huge January sale in which I bought this bag for just 10 euros - its the perfect size and the studs add a nice detail.

Anyway if you get the chance visit Stradivarius - Definitely my new favorite shop!

Shoes, shoes, shoes

It has been an AGE since I last posted anything as I just haven't had anything to write about to be honest. However I thought i'd do one today about some of my recent shoe purchases. Part of me doesn't like doing these 'haul' type posts as I feel like i'm coming across as boasting or something, but personally I like reading stuff like this so oh well! Also bear in mind that I probably won't buy another pair of shoes for years now haha as i'm all set.

New Look - £24.99

I have been eyeing up these for a few months now and I thought seeing as my old pair of black heels are falling apart I could treat myself haha. I also had a voucher for New Look from my birthday so wasn't too pricey! I haven't worn them out yet and I can see them killing my feet but I shall persist through freshers week with them on nonetheless.

Deichmann - £14.99

I needed some comfy shoes to walk to uni every day seeing as i'm a good 20 minute walk away this year. I was looking at vans and converse but then came accross these which were a fraction of the price and actually seem very good quality so far! And it was free shipping and free returns online which is always a bonus so definitely check out the website.

Topshop - £45

These are the most expensive boots I have probably ever bought as I always go for the cheap and cheerful pairs you find in Primark or something. However I thought seeing as these are leather boots and from topshop, £45 (£40.50 with student discount) wasn't actually too bad for a pair of boots. They have a mid-heel which I also like as I feel they could transition between night and day and also look a bit more mature than your average flat ankle boots.

Never have I bought so many pairs of shoes within such a short space of time but I think these three pairs of shoes will easily see me through for a looong time :)

I am going back to uni this weekend so I will be sure to post about my new room if it turns out well!

Recent Purchases

If you like a good bargain, you have come to the right blog as I am definitely a very indecisive person which results in me usually shopping in Primark over Topshop in favour of guilt-free shopping!

I am soon to be beginning my second year at University and so moving into a student house and my bedroom is far from glamorous. So I am slowly collecting little bits and bobs for my new room in hope to 'spruse' it up a little!

Amazon - Roughly £5

I have been looking for a nice necklace holder/jewellery holder for SO long now as the tangles were just getting too much for me. I never think to look for stuff like this on amazon but I found this little gem which is cheap, cheerful and pretty. 

E-Mart in Korea - Roughly £7

I bought these whilst on holiday and they are wall stickers which form a tree and bird-cage on your wall. I have wanted some for ages and thought these would easily add a little character to my new uni room. I know you probably won't be able to fly to Korea and grab a roll of these but I'm pretty sure if you search the internet they won't be hard to find!

That's all the decorative stuff for now but i'll keep you updated on other bits and bobs I find :) Below are a few bits I bought when shopping the other day...

Miss Selfridge - £3

Primark - £16

Bargain of the day - Primark - £1

And as one final random purchase, me and my friend both got our ear pierced as we have both sai we would do it for aaages but never got round to doing it. Finally did today though! Successful shopping trip i'd say :)

Hope you are having a lovely day,

Korea Haul

The first 'Haul' of my blog - exciting times! Haha no I thought I would show some of the adorable nick-nacks  that I bought when I was in Korea, so here goesss...

Ridiculous Amount of Cute Notebooks

Totoro Keyring ~ Pens

Nail Varnishes from 'The Face Shop'

Cute Vocab Book For French

Make-Up Brushes From Forever21

I <3 Korea T-Shirt

This is a few of the bits I got whilst away - as you can see there is a hell of a lot of cute stationary! I couldn't resist it.

The Nail Varnish was super cheap (it was about 70/80p a bottle) and is actually very good quality; so if you're ever in Asia and see 'The Face Shop' grab some of these. The colours are perfect for summer as well.

The Make up Brushes caught my eye because they were pretty if i'm honest but after having used a few they aren't all bad for about £3 for the pack.

If I had had all the money in the world to spend I would definitely go back to Korea purely for the shopping.
