As you can see I didn't buy that much, which for me is quite impressive but I did get some right bargains! Starting with the Topshop Platforms, oh my god I have had my eye on these for ages and I was gutted when I saw them go into the sale with only size 8 and 9 left, but I popped into Topshop at Merry Hill yesterday and they had about four pairs of size 6's.. you can imagine my excitement and they were reduced to £40 from £55 so if you've got your eye on these head down to your local Topshop!

Sticking with shoes onto the Primark Gladiator Sandals. I wanted to get some cheapy sandals and Primark seemed like the best bet for this and I was right, you wouldn't believe these were from Primark would you?! They stock these in three colours, black, tan and white which is the colour I picked up as the tan were practically all gone, but for £12 i'm really pleased with these.

Next is this beautiful Primark Purse which I spotted whilst I was browsing the bags and accessories which looked just like River Island purses so I snapped up one of those quickly as i've been needing a new purse for a while and for £5 I thought that was a bargain!

Finally I was browsing the Topshop Makeup as my local Topshop doesn't stock that much of the makeup range and I noticed that the Sunbeam Highlighter was priced at £6 and I know it's priced at £10 online so that inclined me to pick it up and I have been wanting it for a while, so I will be reviewing that for you all soonish.

Did you make any payday splurges yesterday?

I decided to make another wish list as my next student loan is coming in next week and like every student out there I like to treat myself a little bit with my loan. I've been browsing so much on Topshop recently as it is my number one place to shop and I haven't really bought much from Topshop recently even when I was in London I had to keep clear of Topshop otherwise I wouldn't have had a penny to my name, so when my loan comes in I am definitely going to treat myself a little bit and I thought i'd share some of the things I'm hoping to pick up.

Starting off with the polka dot dress, I first saw a friend of mine from uni wearing this and I loved how it fitted her and I just really like how different it is from all the bodycon and skater dresses that I've been seeing everywhere at the moment but this dress is one of those dresses that I know i'm going to have to try on. Next onto the cut out shoulder top, I have been loving this cut out shoulder detailing so much recently and I really like the idea of it on a loose fitting top that I can just throw on over a pair of jeans or leggings. Now the bright blue cropped jumper, I wasn't really a fan of this until I saw it in store the other day and I literally fell in love with it but I couldn't allow myself to buy it when I saw it. The green top with the white back I have had my eye on for a while and at first I didn't know if I liked it or not but I keep going back to it and I think i've decided that I do actually like it. I really like the loose fit of this top and the white back adds a little detail to what would be a plain green top. Again another cropped blue jumper, but this one is more slouchy and I think would look super cute with a skater skirt and converse, super casual or what! Finally the shoesssss, I have been wanting to treat myself to a new pair of Topshop heels for so long and as I didn't in London I thought it would only be right to when my loan came in and these I have fallen in love with, just everything about them. They are beautiful!!

So thats my Topshop picks that I am currently lusting for! 

Hope you are all well and you're having a good week so far.

Now can I just say, I didn't really buy much as I could have purchased plenty more! For those of you who have never been to the Oxford St store then just so you know it is huge and so overwhelming I couldn't take it all in and Miss Selfridge is attached to it and you can walk between the stores, this blew my mind. I was like a kid in a sweetshop! 

Anyway, the first thing I picked up was the Moto Black Jeans, now I have been needing a new pair of these as my previous pair had faded really badly and had shrunk from the washing so it was only right that I got another pair as they fit perfectly and last such a long time which reflects the £38 price tag which I can justify hence why I always go back to Topshop for all of my jeans! 

The next thing I picked up was the Oh My Love Black Fluffy Jumper, now on the bottom floor (I think) they have shoes and then a massive 'Brands at Topshop' area which was huge and they had all the brands that are available online and what looked like more but I can't be sure. Now Jess and I both picked up this jumper we were in awe, it's so so soft and it comes in black, white and bright pink, now me being me I chose the black because black goes with everything whereas Jess chose the white! When I tried this on it was so static, you could hear it every time you moved and it stuck to my body like a bodycon top would but this didn't put me off for some reason and the static seems to have subsided which is even better and I am so glad I bought this. I may wear this for my first day tomorrow.. maybe.

Now at this point I was like 'get me out of this shop before I buy anything else' so we headed to the tills, where they had plenty of products to entice a last minute buy and of course I noticed the  3-Notebook Pack but I am glad I picked these up as I was silly enough to not pack any stationary and 3 notebooks for £4 isn't really that bad, the world isn't going to end!

So that's my Topshop haul, for now. No doubt I will pick up a few other things seeing as I am going to be on Oxford Street everyday!

As you can see I didn't go mad but I bought enough things to add to my little collection of Topshop Makeup.

Starting with the lipsticks, so many bloggers rave about these lipsticks from the range of shades to the duration the lipsticks last on your lips throughout the day and of course this meant that I needed to try these out. The lipstick section was quite crammed but I was able to swatch a few shades on my hands before deciding on the shades I wanted. I picked up 'Beguiled' which is a deep plum red shade which I fell in love with as I can never find the right deep red and this was just perfect for me. The next shade I picked up was 'Innocent' which, the name says it all it is an innocent light pink shade which isn't too bright and is subtle enough for me to wear as bright pinks really do not suit my skin tone what so ever.

Onto the nail varnishes, I already own a couple of shades from the Topshop Nails range and I love them, they apply so easily with just a couple of coats and last a really decent amount of time. I decided I would pick up a couple of shades that I don't already own in different brands as I thought it would be pretty pointless buying shades I already had.. Anyway, the shades I picked up were 'Stolen Sapphires' which is a really deep purple tone and I instantly fell in love when I saw the shade as I have never been able to find a deep purple that didn't look black so I thought this was perfect and from the swatch it shows this. The next shade I picked up was 'Awol' which is kind of darker pastel blue (so hard to explain) and I thought it would be perfect to wear in all seasons, it's very hard to find a nail varnish that can be worn all throughout the year!

Phew, that was a lot of writing. I hope you all liked this post!

Do you own any products from the Topshop Makeup range?

Shoes, us girls can never have too many shoes can we!

I'm forever trolling through online websites, literally in awe at all the beautiful shoes that I know I can't have as my bank balance wouldn't be too happy but it's always nice to window shop or screen shop in my case.

I'm currently lusting over so many shoes at the moment, I love finding that pair of shoes that I know I can wear in so many ways with so many different outfits and paying that little bit more on better quality shoes really does ensure the durability and how long the shoes last.

Anyway onto the shoes, I'm currently really loving so many shoes from Topshop starting with these black suede platform heels, how beautiful are they?! I love Topshop heels, they are so sophisticated and last such a long time, totally worth the price tags sometimes! The next pair from Topshop are the black woven front loafers, I have seen these shoes featured on a fair amount of blogs and I love love love a good pair of loafers and these look like they would be so comfy and easy to throw on with any outfit! The last pair from Topshop are the white cutout peep toe flats, they did a very similar pair last spring/summer and I was gutted when I wasn't able to pick up any as my size sold out :( So I'm determined to get my hands on these, they will be so cute for the warmer summer days!

The next pair of shoes from Shoeaholics are the black floral platform wedges by KG Kurt Geiger and yes they are only £29!!! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw these, they are beautiful and I want them so much!! The final pair of shoes are the mint brogues from ASOS, as I don't really own any bright coloured shoes I thought this was an odd choice for me but I honestly really like these especially the colour. I think they would be perfect to add a pop of colour to an outfit without throwing on a scarf or something.

So many shoes, so little time (and money).

What shoes are you currently lusting after?

As i'm sure many of you know the monochrome trend is making a comeback this spring/summer season from all the monochrome styles seen at LFW and all over the magazine trends sections recently and I can't help but look at my winter wardrobe and want to start preparing it ready for the trends this summer, as summer is my favourite season from the light airy pastel shades and delicate floral prints that always seem to creep back into our lives every year! 

Now monochrome isn't something I would have ever associated with summer as I think 'black in summer, no no' but it seems the monochrome trend could easily be adapted with lighter weight and coloured fabrics with accents of black detailing and prints.

As a massive lover of Topshop I thought it would only be right to see what they're take on the monochrome trend would be like and see what they had to offer us on trend fashionistas! 

Starting with the beautiful striped skater dress, you could easily throw this on in the day with a cute pair of sandals and you're ready to go or you could dress it up in the evening with some chunky jewellery and heels as it is such a versatile and statement piece. Next onto the t-shirt dress, how cute is this!? Seriously, I could just throw this on over a body con mini skirt or a pair of shorts and I would feel ultrafab and super comfy all day long. Now the striped sleeveless vest again would be a great statement and staple piece as it so versatile just like the skater dress, you could wear it for so many different occasions and create so many different looks throughout the summer months. Like I said about the floral prints, I love what Topshop have done with the blazer, the mixing of the two trends works so well and this would be perfect on the cooler summer days where you could do with a jacket to throw on. Again the short sleeved t-shirt is perfect for those casual day to day outfits and could be worn in so many ways, tucked into high waisted shorts or worn loose over a bodycon mini. Finally the shoes! Aren't these so adorable but still fierce! Every girl needs a new pair of heels or two for the summer months especially as nights out are more on the cards as the nights are so much warmer than the winter ones!

I hope you liked these monochrome picks! Which ones do you like?

 Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a lovely weekend before you go back to college or university on Monday. 

As I don't have work over the next week I decided to take advantage of this and paint my nails as I can't wear nail varnish for work (booo) so I thought I would share with you my 'nails of the day'!

I used the OPI Start to Finish as a base and topcoat, the Topshop Nail Varnish in shade 'Easy Breezy' for the main colour and then added some glitter to my third finger on both hands using the Barry M Nail Varnish in  shade 'Diamond Glitter' and the Collection Bedazzled Effects Nail Varnish in shade 'Glittersweet' as I am still in a festive mood, even if Christmas is over as we took our tree down today, sigh.

Also I apologise for the bad quality photos, as it is getting dark outside my phone isn't capturing the light very well and my digital camera doesn't like to focus. I may start using my stepdads camera which is either a Nikon or Canon but either way the quality is a lot more better than my phone.

What are you favourite nail brands to use?

Just like most of you I presume, I got money and gift cards off family and friends for Christmas and like every other bargain hunter of course I had to splurge in the sales a little so I thought I would share some of the things I picked up.

I went a bit mad in Topshop as they give student discount on sale items and ended up buying a bunch of things including clothes (which are quite hard to photograph, hence why they aren't in this post but I may feature them in some ootd looks) and the accessories shown above which I really like especially the studded bag as I have had my eye on it for a while.
Even though the shoes weren't in the sale I still bought them as I got student discount and I have wanted some heeled chelsea boots for a while so I was quite happy especially with free next day delivery. Bravo Asos!
Every year Lush brings out the Snow Fairy shower gel and I always hold back and wait until it goes into the sale as they half the price so this 500ml bottle was only £5 instead of £10, bargain!!

Did you find any good bargains in the sales?
