Some New Purchases


What I love most about this time of year (despite it being freezing which I definitely don’t love) is the huge sales! Literally everywhere has sales and I like to shop them a couple of weeks after they start because everything ends up even more reduced. Not all of these purchases are sale items, but a few of them were super cheap anyway or I had discount codes. I haven’t bought all of these this week though, these are purchases that I have accumulated over the past 2 months, but haven’t shared with you yet.

Above, from left to right, is my new Topshop PU leather quilted biker jacket, a Topshop white sweater/jumper, Current/Elliott grey leopard jeans, Miss Selfridge burgundy and feather print leggings, Topshop necklaces and Kurt Geiger boots.

The jacket I am absolutely in love with! The quilting on it is amazing! The jeans have been on my wish list for a good few months and I finally saved enough for them. I always had trouble with printed leggings since most of the time they are made from polyester, so what I decided to do for the feather ones is put them over the top of the cotton burgundy ones and I can’t feel a thing! So excited about that! The boots will be great for wearing with jeans and the necklaces were adorable!

What items have you been buying over the holiday sales? I literally just save all my money for clothes purposes, I only sometimes eat lunch out maybe 3 times a month and I don’t go out to parties or anything like that, so all of my money does go on clothes. It’s a pretty bad obsession! Ha ha!

    Oh, I love the jacket and the boots! They are fabulous and I am looking forward to seeing you in these. 🙂 I have really splurged in this season, from blazers via shoes (lots of shoes) to dresses, I got a lot. But as you said – all for amazing prices. How could we say no? Have a wonderful evening1 xo, Christina

    Those Kurt Geiger boots are TDF! They are so versatile, and I actually think they are so great for the cold weather, because you won`t slip on an icy road as easily!
    Also like the other finds. Especially the white sweater by Topshop. Like the detailing on it!

      Thanks Anna! That’s why I love the boots, they have such a strong grip on the bottom and you can wear them with thick socks, so I am excited to start wearing those out! The sweater is one of my favourites too, it’s so simple and classic but nice!
