Bargain Shopping.

In my last post i said I was going to go shopping at the weekend and I did, 
The UK has had money off in loads of shops so what i couldn't find in the shop I got online and those treats have been delivered this week (apart from 1 dress). 


I really wanted new UGG's this year! previously I have had a pair of tall UGGs and a pair of the bailey button UGG's, so this time i went for the classic short UGG's.

My sister actually picked them up for me in House of Fraser (There isn't one where i live atm) and she got them with 20% off, so instead of being £150 i got them for £112! Which i thought was a total bargain!!
I've also really wanted a 'leather' jacket for ages! I wanted one in Topshop but they were out of stock in store and online! So I carried on looking and found this one in Dorothy Perkins. The jacket had 30% off so instead of being £49 i got it for £35. I'll wear this thrown over a cute dress with tights and little boots.




I then moved on to H&M who were offering 20% of for students! I didn't go to H&M with anything in mind but ended up leaving with 3 things! The first thing i got was this cute skirt! I thought it looked really wearable and can be made to look super cute and girly with a jumper or made to look a little more grungy with a vest top, leather jacket, tights and boots! This was in the reduced section and had been reduced to £5 from £14.99 and then i got my 20% off so i paid £4!! 



I also picked up 2 dresses in H&M. I think I'm going to keep both of these for when I go on holiday next year!
As you can see in the picture they are full length, floaty numbers. there is a skirt underneath the floaty material that stops about mid thigh so its not totally see through, there is also a slit on both side so that you can walk in it rather than being totally constricted! The real deal breaker for me was the back!! As you can see its got a criss cross back, which i thought was stunning and gives it that extra little extra! I got this in navy and black as i though it would look gorgeous with a bit of a tan, a pair of heels/wedges/gladiator sandals, a statement necklace and a cute up-do!
I think they were £25 so with the 20% off i got them at £20 which i thought was pretty good!!


I then moved in to accessorize to look for a hairband for me and a present for my mum but didn't get anything for her and ended up treating myself. I got this cute gold coloured necklace with the black triangles,I don't usually wear that many necklaces but thought this is so versatile it can be put on with a plain t-shirt and jeans to add something to an everyday outfit or be put on with a dress to add a little class to an evening outfit. I also picked up this cute hair band! I have pretty long hair and am fed up with always doing the same hair styles so got this with the aim of trying more cute up-do's.Although you cant see too well in the picture the bit that sits on your hair is linked up gold leaves. The necklace was £10 and then i got a 10% student discount to make that £9 and the hair band was £7, so £6.30 with discount!

THAT WAS IT FOR MY HIGH STREET SHOPPING... But throughout the week I've done a bit of online shopping.

Topshop had 20% off knitwear so i ordered 2 jumpers, a minty green and a purple-plum colour which both have a jewel encrusted neckline. Usually im not a fan of Embellished items but for some reason i absolutely love theses jumpers and when i was shopping was so close to buying them anyway! Topshop also have a baby pink one as well but they didn't have any of those left online. So they were £46 reduced by % to £36.80 and then i got an extra 10% student discount on that. 


I've also ordered this Tulle strappy midi dress and this is what i'm still waiting to receive. Again I saw it in store and loved it and the grey version! but couldn't justify it as id already both the other items so was very good and left it! Then i went online and saw that it had been reduced to nearly half price so i ordered the black one! I think this can be layered up for winter and also less layered for spring and then also be worn in summer or on holiday as its nice and floaty! It was originally £30 and was reduced to £18.. so take off my 10% student discount and it was £16.20 - Bargain!


I also bought a water bottle online as I don't drink enough.. but that's a bit boring!
