Hey Ladies! I hope you are all well. I haven't posted a haul for a while so I thought I would show you some of the things I have been buying over the past few weeks. I bought some of these things with my birthday money and a few of the others were gifts. I went to Brisbane a few weeks back so my boyfriend treat me to this gorgeous double ring from an amazing jewellery shop called Lovisa. I walked into the shop and could of bought everything in there - there was four walls covered from top to bottom in amazingly gorgeous jewellery *heaven*. As you can probably tell from the jewellery I have accumulated, I am loving spikes at the moment. Anything spiked is a winner for me and I must get my hands on a pair of spiked shoes ASAP. 

I am also loving the peplum and dipped hem trends that have been popping up everywhere so I decided to treat myself to these two tops. I bought the RI one with my birthday money and I love it. It is such a flattering shape and can be dressed up or down which is always a bonus. I will be wearing it this weekend as I'm going to Brisbane (again!) so look out for an outfit post featuring it. As for the dipped hem top, I loved it as soon as I saw it. I'm a bit mad on aztec print so it instantly caught my eye. I bought it from an Australian shop called Cotton On which sells really affordable and on-trend clothing and accessories. This top only cost me around £17.00 so I thought it was quite the bargain. I will also be wearing this at the weekend so hopefully I will get some pictures for an outfit post. 

I have also bought a few random beauty products lately that I didn't really need but couldn't resist anyway. My boyfriend bought me the body butters and Caudalie cleansing water as part of my birthday present and I bought everything else when I was in Brisbane or shopping at the supermarket haha. Is it just me that is always attracted to the 'toiletries' isle in supermarkets? Anyway, look out for reviews on all of these products as I have been really enjoying using them.

Now my absolute favourite thing from this bunch has to be these gorgeous ankle boots. I have wanted some boots like this for such a long time so when I spotted these whilst shopping in Brisbane, I just had to have them. Me and the boy went half's on them (he's a good egg!) so I didn't pay too much and I just know I will get so much wear out of them in Autumn/Winter. They will go with almost anything! Yey!!

So there we have it, my shopaholic tendencies got the better of me again. I will probably buy more in Brisbane this weekend - I just can't resist. I may as well make the most of it while I can though as I will be going on a strict spending ban when I return to the UK. Boo.

Have you treat yourself to anything recently?

Lots of Love,

Massive Clothing Haul - Confessions of a Shopaholic



Hey Ladies! If you read my collective beauty haul yesterday, you will know I said I was going to do a clothing haul too. I have bought so many clothes lately its an actual JOKE. Like I said in my beauty haul, I'm going to Australia next week and I always feel like I need new things when I go away. I realise that I probably don't need anything but it makes me feel good and shopping really is one of my favourite things to do. I have to say before you think 'woah, she must of spent a bomb' that I didn't just go out and buy all of this in one day. I have bought these items over the past few weeks after I decided I was going to Australia. I also made quite a lot of money on ebay, about £300 precisely, so that went towards all the things I've been buying. I feel as though I've bought some real staple items lately that I've been meaning to get for ages. I tried to take pictures of everything but a few bits and bobs are in the wash and other things have been delivered to my home address in the Lake District ready to pack. I also won a Missguided Twitter competition meaning the cream dress pictured was a freebie, yey! As well as going for an actual shopping spree, I am actually obsessed with online shopping. I sometimes don't feel like I'm spending money when I'm shopping online. All I have to do is log in with my email address, put in my security code and wallah, I have some lovely new clothes on their way to me. I think I should be banned from the internet, it is totally lethal for a compulsive shopper like me. Anyway, enough of my blabbering. Here are the things I've bought.


New Look

River Island

Marks & Spencers

H&M

Missguided

Republic - (To see this better have a look at my 'New Favourite Dress' post here).

Primark

Ebay

Accessories
Travel Make-up Bag - Primark, Tan Pumps - Marks & Spencers, Black Sandals - Primark, Cream Handbag - Marks & Spencers

So there we have it, all of the pretty clothes I've bought lately. I hope you enjoyed this post as it has taken me AGES to do. Uploading all these pictures and making them big and clear is fairly time consuming. I can't actually believe that on top of all this I have three more things in the wash and four more things being delivered home. I guess I'll be doing another haul over the weekend. I really am a shopaholic if you hadn't already noticed. It's been so nice to have a bit of money to spend lately and my family have bought me a few things for easter/leaving presents. All in all I am extremely happy with everything I've got and I hope you like it all too.

P.s - If any of you have Twitter, feel free to follow me here. I've been really enjoying chatting and getting to know other bloggers on their lately.

Lots of Love,
