Dorothy Perkins Haul #1

At the beginning of the month I won a massive Dorothy Perkins competition on Pinterest - I couldn't believe that I won, I was a ringing everyone to tell them (they just said 'let me guess you won another competition). I am very good at winning competitions recently! I won a £250 Dorothy Perkins voucher and I have only spent £100 of it so far, I can't believe how restrained I have been (go me!). I am giving some of the voucher to my sister but there will be another couple of posts on what I buy with the rest of my voucher. Here are my first four buys - 1 dress, 2 tops and 1 pair of sunglasses. 

Outfit one - Dorothy Perkins Petite Stripe Tunic (£24, reduced to £10): This item is still in stock online, I bought it because I do not have anything like it in my wardrobe. It has a shift dress shape so it doesn't have a waistband as all of my other dresses have, it feels slouchy and I LOVE it! I also love the stripes - if you couldn't tell as all of the items in this post are stripy. The faux leather pockets and trim make it look quiet expensive in my opinion. Not everyone likes it though, my sister says it looks like pyjamas! It is made of a thick cotton like material, so comfy. My tights are from *Oroblu and my wedges are from Select (Yoox). 

Outfit two - Blue Stripe Jersey Knit Top (£16): This is not in the sale but I had to get it, I adore breton stripe tops, I think they look so french and chic! The top is quite thin and light so it would be great for spring/summer. I paired it with my Asos Petite Black Jeans, Asos Ankle Boots and my new Dorothy Perkins Tort Hawaii Clarkmaster Sunglasses (£8) which I also bought with my voucher. I am a bit unsure if these sunglasses suit me but I like them! Please excuse how massive my hips look in this photo!

Outfit three - Petite Stripe Jersey Knit (£18): This top was also not in the sale and it is almost sold out online, as I am writing this. I love stripes, I think I have an addiction...I love the grey/white marled kind of effect and it is a super soft jumper. It is fairly light and breathable so it would be great for spring. I paired it with my Dorothy Perkins Petite Jeans and my La Redoute Boots. 

What do you think of my outfits and new buys? Have you bought anything from Dorothy Perkins recently?

Primark and Monki Haul #1

We went to Primark in Manchester at the weekend and myself and my sister bought quite a few things - the new stock in Primark is gorgeous, I could have bought a lot more clothes, bags and home wear but I restrained myself and only bought some tops, sweaters, pjs' and home wear bits... There are also a couple of items from Monki in this mini haul series. This is the first part, there will be a couple more just so the posts are not really long - excuse the weird poses, I am not too comfortable in front of the camera. 

1. Primark Light French Sweater (£8): I saw this in the Bury Primark a few weeks ago and I really wanted it but I finally bought it at the weekend and I LOVE it. I will buy any top if it has stripes on like this, I can't help myself and the stripes combined with a cute French design - I had to buy it. The knit is really light and super soft so I can still wear it during summer and into autumn - and layered during winter. Jeans from Dorothy Perkins - petite skinny and shoes from La Redoute.

2. Monki Sale Knit Top (£5, sale): I saw Estee from Essie Button wearing this in her first Copenhagen vlog and I loved it (I love most things from Monki) but when I saw that it was reduced from £35 to £5 in the sale I bought it immediately! I love the design, colour and over sized fit - I bought an XS and it is still pretty big so you need to read the measurements carefully with Monki clothing. Boots from La Redoute and prescription glasses from Firmoo.

3. Primark Breton Striped Top (£6): As I said before, I can't resist stripes and I really like this top. The material feels smooth and soft, love the stripes and this top also has some silver jewel embellishments on the shoulders which I like - although they will probably all come off after one wash. Jeans from Dorothy Perkins and wedges from Dorothy Perkins.

Hope you like this haul, happy shopping and stay tuned for the second and third parts of this mini series x
