Holiday Purchases

Hey guys!
We're all guilty of a little panic shopping before going on holiday, yes? I don't know about you lovely lot, but I love reading bloggers posts showing hauls of what they have been buying.
Well, here are a few things I picked up on a few manic sprees before jetting off...

I’ll start with my favorite piece, which my boyfriend very kindly bought for me while we were away in Ireland.
A really cute white embroidered blouse Topshop £35. I love the embroidery collar detail and the pearl buttons, just my kind of thing. On holiday I wore it tucked into a high-waisted floral skirt, and a red high-waited skirt. I'm planning on teaming it with Jeans and heels for a night out, or underneath a jumper in the winter so you can see the pretty collar detail. LOVE.

A pale bleach effect, cropped denim jacket Topshop £38. A holiday essential, right? I felt so 1990's buying a denim jacket. Like I was using someone from Saved by The Bell as an unlikely fashion icon.

A long sleeve spotty blouse by Sparkle and fade for Urban Outfitters £25 in the sale. I couldn't resist this. I saw it on Lily Bees' blog. Seeing as I love absolutely everything this girl wears, I knew I had to have it.
I haven't actually worn it yet, but I'm planning on wearing it tucked into black jeans, done up to the collar with bright orange lippy. Or tucked inside a pleated skirt with tights and boots.

Ripped denim hotpants £25 Urban Outfitters sale. Again with the denim. I don't think I realized just how short these shorts were. They were a bit of an impulse buy the night I was packing for the Bahamas. Fine for the beach, but I'm not sure they'll be acceptable for the city unless I wore them with thick tights.

Shades Topshop £12. These just go with everything, you can't go wrong.
Lastly I got a couple of Topshop Lipsticks, both £8 and a nail varnish £5.
Idol, a bright shocking candy pink, perfect for impact lips. Tease, a couple of shades lighter, for a more day-time look. The nail varnish is a really nice pastel purple called 'Parma Violet'.

Have you been shopping recently?
