Haul: River Island Sale!

Like many others, I got up extra early Tuesday morning in the hope of getting an elusive half price wristband, unfortunately I wasn't early enough and there were none left, but no matter!

 The nearest River Island is literally 5mns from my house so I wandered down, sleepy eyed and joined what I assumed would be a serious war zone, but apparently I beat the rush. I only picked up a few things but what I got I'm really happy with!

I picked up this cute Hamsa Necklace with a pink stone.

I got kind of fed up with my cheap Hamsa bracelet snapping every two seconds so this necklace is a sweet alternative to it! And for 3euro I couldn't really leave it behind.

I also got these fang earrings for a minuscule 2euro, I think I was just drawn in by the price cause I hardly ever wear earrings, but sure, I'm sure I'l wear them with something.

Keeping with my usual love of crucifix's, I snapped up this side cross bracelet. Its exactly like Nasty Gal's side cross necklace, so I hope RI does a version of that too, it would be a nice alternative to Nasty Gal's seriously over priced one.

I really like it, its a really cute delicate way to wear a crucifix!

I also go these vertical stripe tights because my Topshop ones are in bits.  Come to think of it   I probably should have bought like three pairs!

I also picked up this pastel yellow tea dress in a marl fabric. Its got a slightly stretched, distressed pattern on the fabric. I can see it being an easy thing to throw on during Summer with brogues or Vans and ankle socks.

I also got this sheer black tasseled kimono,

I think it will be really good for holidays or a night out, I really wanted more tassels in my wardrobe, and I thought this was a cute summery way to do it rather than an edgy or western way!

I am so happy I got this cardigan! I was looking at it for ages but never got it, then it was in the sale! Woo! I know its really squished and hard to see in the photo but that's cause its super slouchy and comfy and soft.

It's just a loose knit cream cardigan with brown and tan tassels and knit detailing.

It's another tasseled item with glorious tasseled sleeves so whenever I wear it I feel really like, swoopy and use loads of hand and arm gestures so I wan see the tassels! I nearly took my boyfriends eye out during dinner last night with my dramatic arm gestures.

Speaking of le boyfriend, I picked him up this shirt when I wandered up to the men's section..

This skirt shall be my Summer touch of neon, weather permitting. I wore it out and it was really nice and swishy even though two other people I knew were wearing it too! Everywhere you went it was like "Oh you got that in the RI Sale" to everyone you saw.  

I adore this light little crop top, it's so whimsicle and silky and kind of floaty fairy style!

So that's my River Island Sale Haul, hope you enjoyed!

Mini†Haul

Good day everybody, I'm doing a mini haul today if you didn't quite gather that from the title,Anyway's I want to start of by saying that there is a lot of stigma attached to haul blogs and videos as many people believe it's showing off and the like. As everyone knows I am piss poor so I cant possibly be "showing off" my "multiple impulse buys". No. I simply wish to share my new season staples with you as a few of them were in my Wishlist and I'm ecstatic to have them! So yeah, please consider this aswell with any future Hauls I do, as I really dont want to post this dreary and tiresome introduction every time!

So, as I have made clear, I am an exceptionally broke student at the moment! But luckily I prefer fashion to food shopping so I was

able to pick up a few items in the last two weeks.

Faux Flower Crown~ New Look

In my Springtime Wishlist below, I said how badly I longed for one of these little babys, and I got one! I especially love the leaf detail and oversized style of the flowers. Reminds me of Summer... Tea Dress~ Topshop

Another wishlist item come true! I got it in the petit section so it's the perfect length for one with the dreaded curse of shortness.

Leopard Print Vest~ River Island
Can you call it Leopard Print when it's a print of actual leopards? Meh. Anyways unbelievably this badboy only set me back 15euro! Delightful.
Midi Skirt~ Primark(Penneys)
I adore the dusky pink of this midi, only setback is its a size 16 so basically without a belt it hits the floor, but my dark brown leather belt gives it a rather adorable paper bag waist effect.
Now some Jumble Sale Gems!!
I got these amazing real leather brogues in the Clare Galway Sunday Market for a meagre 5euro!

Never been worn before, They have the most exquisit eyelet laser cut detailing.
They have a really interesting Creeper clumyness to them.

I also picked up this last season Denim Topshop dress for... wait for it........ 4euro!

I bought this dress before for full price in Topshop but left it in Spain after a holiday without even wearing it once, so I'm delighted to have it back once again.
