I was planning on typing up this blog earlier this morning but I had to pop out to get a few things.
Yesterday after work I met up with my sister for a late lunch-early dinner in central London, afterwards we had a mooch around the shops.
I never usually venture out to the shops on a Saturday, the reason being I have always had a job that entailed working at the weekend. However since September, I have been working two jobs, during the week I work as a teaching assistant and on a Sunday I work as a Short Breaks Carer, which leaves Saturday as my 'day off'. It was lovely spending the day with my sister but we both came to the conclusion that we can't shop for more than an hour or so especially on Oxford St!
We had both been wanting to purchase a few things so had a browse through the shops on Oxford St.
I purchased a few things mainly clothes...
*H&M: A Beautiful Poncho in 'Taupe'. I saw this last week, tried it on and fell in love with in. It comes in one size and four colour (Black, Grey, White and Taupe aka Brown :) ) and I chose 'Taupe'. It's really nice and light and perfect for days like yesterday when it was warm enough to wear a cosy cardigan.
*Zara: Flat Leather Boots in Tan. My current pair of boots are slowly deteriorating but I am going to continue to wear them until they literally fall apart. I know...it's a shame but they fit so good! It always happens when I find a pair of boots I like. I wear them to death! I bought these because I had been wanting a pair of flat boots for ages. With being 5ft 7in, sometimes I feel that wearing heels just makes me feel too tall and I wanted some boots that were more casual I guess. These are comfy and perfect. I plan on wearing these with skinnies. ( I couldn't find a photo of them on the Zara website but these are the nearest. Imagine the heel is completely flat and the top of the boot is overturned :) )
* Primark: Black Leather Pumps for work and Grey Plimsolls. ( I didn't think that they were that exciting to take a picture of). The black pumps are slightly pointed flat pumps, ideal for work as I am always on the go at work - running around after children! I bought the grey plimsolls as my current white plimsolls I bought from Office are heading for the bin soon. I primarily bought them for going to dance class but I could team them with 'Boyfriend' jeans and an piece of oversized knitwear. As usual I got a bargain, two pairs of shoes for £6!
I did purchase some other bits and pieces that aren't really that exciting...
Since none of the toiletries I wanted were in stock yesterday I ventured out to my local shopping centre to pick them up today.
I picked up Aussie Miracle Insurance for Coloured Hair, Neutrogena Oil Free Makeup Remover and Oil Free Moisturiser, Superdrug Vitamin E Skin Oil and Illuminating Moisturising Cream and Barry M Lip Paint in 150. Aussie, Superdrug Vitamin E and Neutrogena were all on offer which results in a triple bonus :D I kept umming and aahing about the Barry M Lip Paint but it's a colour I don't have and it's nice and neutral for Autumn/Winter.
So there we have it my weekend of shopping and if that wasn't enough I have my eye on a Maxi Dress and Maxi Skirt from ASOS...as I am getting a bit bored of wearing trousers to work even though they are practical!
I have noticed this is getting to be a beauty/fashion kind of blog but I will posting blogs on other issues/topics to that interest me.
Hope you all have a lovely start to the week :)
Peace and love,
