London Purchases

I went to London (Again) and spent some money, heres what i bought:
Jumper Urban Outfitters, Jeans Topshop, Dress H&M
Ok I'm normally very very very stingy, I hate spending money even on things i love. I always find a reason not to buy them but I seemed to have a change of heart when i was in London. Haven't in fucking ages bought more then 1 thing at a time! I'm kind of used to not even buying anything due to having no money! but at the moment I have so i went all out and bought much needed wardrobe staples. Firstly a good pair of black jeans, everyone needs a pair of black jeans don't they! so I bought these from Topshop and they are the same as my blue ones! they are the only ones that fit me as i have quite a weird body shape. My stomach is bigger then my legs (obviously) so if i get a bigger size to fit me round the waist they are way too baggy round the legs and i can NEVER ever in my life found a pair of jeans that fit me nice and tightly round the legs it would always piss me off! but these Topshop jeans ( i think they are Leigh ones) Are perfecto! I love them. So i thought I'd get a black pair! the other thing i bought which i am in love with is this Aran knit jumper from Urban Outfitters. I borrowed my friends other one and i love this one! I never really wear jumpers but this is perfect.
The one thing I'm not sure about is the dress! I've been wanting the Topshop striped dress since seeing this amazing outfit on a girl in Brighton. that dress a leather fur jacket and a pair of ankle boots (simple is what i love) and I've wanted it ever since! but i found this one in H&M costing £12 and i bought it! but I'm not sure i like it as much as i would the Topshop one. Hmm I'm not sure! it is a really flattering shape though which is nice.
Ebay case £2
I love my new phone case, Yes i am a Cath Kidston bitch! I love it..I could own everything Cath Kidston, but ok this isn't a real one it's fake! but i don't care. It cost me £2.89 or something from ebay and i love it. It came from Hong Kong so it took a little while and they did unfortunately send me the wrong colour and print BUT i am happy they did cause i prefer this one anyway. I bought it from HERE and they do a lot of prints and different phones too!

so i had a lovely time in London again! I've been up so much recently it's really great but it was nice to spend some time with my mum which is rare.  And we were good babysitters for my cousin (god i love my baby cousin so much i want to steal him) but i am back home to Brighton and need to crack down on college work which i have once again left till the last minute! I'll probably ask for help in my next post hahah. I always do! but your always really helpful. This week is going to be nice i hope! finally my best friend is back in Brighton and i am so happy! going shopping tomorrow as she has to stock up on Reading things but i am so happy she's home! missed her so much. But yes everyone i know is off to Reading which is depressing! Oh well. Hope you all have a lovely week and hope you all have a lovely time at Reading if you are going (lucky bastards)
Oh before i go! I have just received money for my 18th which is in 3 weeks (FUUUCK)  and i am going to buy a SLR with it..recommend anything you think would be suitable! I have 500 pounds but I'm thinking around the £300 mark! so yeah what ever you think is good or if you have any tips on first time buyers it would all be helpful
Oh and another brightonion has a blog! go have a look here it'll be lovely if you do!

  1. Nice purchases! I can empathise with the jeans problem; I'm nowhere near as tall as you but I've got the 'skinny leg' thing and I find jean shopping traumatising, especially now shops keep selling jeggings as jeans! Gah, Topshop, I'm looking at you! x

  15. i love that jumper !
    DEFFO a huge keep :D !
    congrats on your purchases

    Personally, I think I'd keep the dress
    You can put a top over it, and it'll still look lovely
    So it's pretty versatile !

  16. I bloody hate jeans shopping. I really want a pair of charcoal grey straight leg jeans for next season though, so gonna have to suck it up and traipse around the high street once more! I think the dress will look lovely on you (: Would be cute with a knitted waistcoat and faux fur collar/stole! Or with that jumper, bare legs and ankle boots! My cousin's going to Uni near Brighton soon, so I'm expecting to spend some weekends over there soon ;) xxxx
