I've just finished shooting my autumn look book, which will be up in the next couple of days! I'm so excited to share it with you. This post is the haul I've been promising for what seems like forever! I had some issues with Romwe, but for the most part they have now been sorted. There's just the issue of a returned jumper and no refund. I'm happy enough for them to put this into store credit, or to resend the jumper to me with the correct value declared to customs, but so far I've had no more communication from Sara Gan. That's the only downside to Romwe - their customer service is terrible.
So here's a few bits and pieces I've been gathering up over the past month:
This jumper is from Romwe, its a lovely knitted silky soft material and is really comfortable on. It cost £15. I wear this to work and at the weekend. I think this jumper is so versatile, its the kind that works well with fitted work trousers and skirts but also looks great with jeans or a skater skirt/dress. I feel that purchases like this become a real wardrobe staple, and are a really worthwhile investment, especially at only £15.
The only thing I found a bit weird was this tag on one of the sleeves. I don't know why it was there but I managed to get it off without damaging the stitching.
This bag is also from Romwe (£24). It is gorgeous. I've used it a few times already and is much bigger than it seems. It has a long strap so it can be worn cross-body and also has a sturdy handle in case you want to use it without the shoulder strap. I love cross body bags because they are so convenient. Having your hands free is such a blessing when you're out and about. I hate having a handbag constantly slipping off my shoulder.
These adorable little pumps are from Matalan. They cost £12 and I love them because they remind me of Michael Jackson shoes! I feel like I can Moonwalk when I wear them.
I've bought three packets of these footsie socks this past month. They are brilliant for keeping your feet warm on these cold days when you are wearing pumps and at only £2.50 per pack they are great value.
This is the first time I have ever bought makeup from Primark and I have to say I am so impressed. I got a lip crayon, eyebrow pencil, lipstick and eyeliner from the P.S. Love... range. I've been using the lip crayon everyday. It's pretty sheer, but super moisturising. The eyebrow pencil is now my go to eyebrow product. It is so simple and quick to use do my brows in the morning using this. The lipstick is really rich in colour and has great staying power, while the eyeliner is great for the lash line and the water line. All these items cost between £1.50 - £2.50. I also invested in a Real Techniques beauty sponge - I am in LOVE with this sponge. It is soooooo easy to use and makes my foundation look flawless! I recommend that everyone get one of these pronto. Check out Vintage or Tacky on YouTube for the best tutorial on how to use it. It costs around £5, which is really affordable.
I got this vanity roll from Primark for I think £10. It might have been a little less, but I can't remember. I travel quite a bit for my job and as soon as I seen this I knew it was going to come in so handy. It has three clear zipped compartments on the inside for organising all my toiletries and makeup and a small silver hanger on the outside so I can hang it up in the bathroom. It's a total space saving item and I can't wait to put it to use.
These adorable pyjamas are also from Primark. The bottoms were £6 and the top £4. I think they are so cute and I totally want to curl up in these in front of the fire.
I get a new coat every autumn/winter simply because I wear it so much over the cold seasons that when the time comes to put it away and break out the summer clothes I realise how tatty and worn it is. I got this gorgeous faux fur collar one from Primark for around £30. The hubs says it looks like Santa's coat, which makes me love it even more... I've dubbed it the Mrs. Claus coat. It's more an orangey red than a true red, but this just screams autumn/winter to me.
And that's it, that's the lot for now. I hope you like some of these pieces and they give you some inspiration.
