The purple wedges broke :(

Whilst I was out on Saturday night one of the straps on my River Island purple wedges snapped! They feature in my last OOTN and my top 5 shoes posts, if you want a closer look! I returned them today and was given a refund no problem, unfortunately they didn't have my size available for a swap so instead I had a look round and spent the money on a few other bits and pieces.

The first thing I did was have a look round the shoes in River Island and I came across these cute Melissa wedges! I think they will be perfect for day times and more casual evenings out as the heel is quite low.  These were £20 which I thought was a bargain as I know I will wear these a lot! They also had them in navy and bright pink and I honestly had a tough time picking between the black and blue but I went for the black in the end, although I could easily be persuaded to pop back for the navy pair!

I then went into the Next sale, I don't usually shop in Next but we had been in there last week for work shoes for Simon and I had walked past some nice trousers which I fancied trying on today.  These were reduced to £16  and I am excited to have another option aside from jeans that I can wear on the cooler days we are having at the moment!  In this pic I am wearing them with a basic black vest that I also picked up, in my favourite place to shop, H&M and this was only £3.99.  This vest has a high back which is nice as it is a little bit different from your standard vest top.

Finally I saw this dress for £5 in the sale.  I have tried this dress on before and although the original price was only £12.99 I have never bought it before because we don't seem to have the weather for little dresses and I don't get much wear out of the ones I already have!  But when I saw it for £5 I thought even if I keep it for holidays then it will be a good item to have in my wardrobe.  When I got to the till though it was actually only £3!! So I was extremely happy with that!

I managed to get all of this for less than the £55 that i was refunded for the wedges so all in all I thought it was a successful trip!

Have you found any sale bargains? x

Birthday Goodies!

I am not sure why but this post was in my draft section!  So I actually wrote this in late January, but since I went to the effort I thought I may as well put it out there now!  I have worn all of these items endlessly so they were good buys, but I still need a couple more tops to go with the lilac jeans! I also have the same pair in mint now so I think perhaps a few cream tops may be in order! Any other ideas for colours to wear with pastel jeans would be much appreciated!

Its not my birthday until February but my husband and I don't get many days off together so we went shopping today, yay!
I love to get as much for my money as I can and I think I managed to get a few good bargains.
Firstly I found this top in H&M and I absolutely love it! It was £12.99 which I think is a brilliant price and I plan to wear this with a gray pencil skirt and also my American Apparel Disco Pants!

I also got a few bits and pieces in New Look.  Vests are always useful and I like the spaghetti strap type the best, I have also needed a plain black one to go under a loose draped dress for months but it has been impossible to find one, so I was very happy to pick these two vests up for only £2.49 each! I was going to go back and get more colours but I forgot, opps!

 I also picked up these two pairs of skinny jeans, after having Thomas last February I am now back to my pre-baby weight, however I found that I am a different shape, so I got rid of most of my jeans! Over the winter I picked up a black pair, an indigo denim pair and an olive green pair, so I fancied some more spring/summer friendly colours and got a lilac pair for £16.99 and the stonewash pair for £20.00.  I really like New Look jeans and find that they are one of the best shops to get jeans for my body shape.  I then picked up this cropped mint lace t-shirt, which I will wear over the vest tops.  This top was £14.99 and I think this will be such a cute little day top.
I hope you like all my items, I am going to try and wait until my birthday before I wear any of them!
