New Year, New Haul

I've been acquiring quite a few new bits n' bobs over the last couple of weeks, but since the New Year, I've gone a little bit mental on the shopping side, mainly due to the sales. So, I thought I would do my first ever blog haul - let me know if you like this format!

1. Oliver Bonas

1. Notepad (£3.50 in the sale)

2. Letter Stickers (£3.50 in the sale)

3. 'K' Letter passport case (£6 in the sale)

4. Pink geometric vase (£3.50 in the sale)

2. Mish-Mash

1. Bumble and Bumble "The Surf Set" (£14.66 in the sale, Boots)

2. Silver and Gold metallic pens (Paperchase, £4 each)

3. Nail Polishes Barry M (Boots)

4. Sale Postcards (Paperchase, 35p each)

5. 2016 Diary (Paperchase, £6.50)

3. Boots Buys

 1. The Bumble and Bumble Surf set included a mini Surf foam wash and conditioner, and a full size Surf Spray, for £14.66 - amazing considering the full price for the surf spray alone is £23.

These two Barry M nail-polishes are SO GORGEOUS!

1. Barry M matte nail paint in 'Vanilla'
2. Barry M glitter nail paint in 'Fashion Icon'

So, this is "Blobby", my new friend...

I've always been a huge fan of the Fendi 'monsters', but this little teal coloured fluffy thing in the Topshop sale (£5) was a little more in my budget, and it had to come home with me.

By far the biggest buy in my 'haul'...
I'd been searching, and searching, for the perfect pair of black suede courts for a VERY long time, but somehow no style or cut seemed to fit my feet properly. They were always way too long, or way too tight, annoying as I have relatively wide, but not very long, feet. Then, on a random pop into Russell and Bromley, I found this pair - Perfect heel height, gorgeous long pointed toe, with a great vamp cut. I tried them on, and it was quite literally like destiny: they were the perfect fit! They were designed by my all-time favourite shoe designer, Stuart Weitzman. My experience with Stuart Weitzman heels is like no other - they're beautiful, cut well and incredibley comfortable. This was the last pair left of these particular shoes as they were left over from the previous sale, so the price was... £75, which is CHEAP for Stuart Weitzman, especially considering the original price was give or take £250. I knew that for a pair of shoes like these, I didn't want to skimp on quality. Yes, they were pricier than some in, say, Office or Topshop, but not by much to be fair, and these were made with much finer materials, so I know they'll last me longer than most. I can't express just how unbelievably happy I am - black courts are such a simple way to add class and a tiny bit of height to any outfit, and I'm so excited to style them up in future outfit posts!

Clothing

I'd been in need for a few pairs of new jeans lately, as most of my old favourite's were starting to fade and tear here and there. As a mild replacement for my love-of-my-life jeans (my vintage Levi 501's), I nabbed these Asos girlfriend jeans for £11 online in the sale. What a bargain! Although they had run out of my size, so I had to purchase them in the size up. I didn't realise quite how baggy they were going to be - they fit more like boyfriend jeans now, but as they're so soft and comfortable, and they were only 11 quid, I thought, why not just keep them? And I'm glad I did. Nab them now while/if you can!

I also nabbed this pair of ankle-grazer, side-zip Topshop Jamie jeans, as I was in desperate need of a new pair of skinny jeans! They were a little pricier than I'd wanted to pay for a sale item (although they were £25), but they were the last pair left, and were in my exact waist size and leg length. They're super soft and comfy, fit like a glove and the high waist makes them fit even better.

p.s. I also managed to find a pair of white Topshop Leigh jeans in the sale for a fiver! Crazy bargain!

And last, but certainly not least, this Whistles denim jacket.

I'm sure that anybody who knows me well enough can vouch that I am a Whistles fanatic - especially if there's a sale. I somehow managed to find this gorgeous, indigo denim jacket in the sale in a size 8... for only £20! WHAT?! I know, mental, and I just couldn't resist - a bargain like that is insane for Whistles, especially considering the original price was £95! I haven't had a chance to snap up any photos of it yet (the one above is a similar one from online, but my one doesn't have the orangey-brown stitching, it's much more raw)
I highly recommend checking out some of the Whistles stores for some of the final reduction sale items (online's not nearly as good) as I even managed to find the pair of linen culottes that I bought for half price (£42) reduced all the way down to £15...! INSANE!

So, I hope you guys enjoyed this haul segment. Let me know if you'd like me to do more posts like this in the future!
