Over the past few
weeks, I have been on a mad spending spree buying the spring items which have
been hitting our high street stores. Admittedly I’m addicted to the pastel
trend this season, which has meant I have purchased some lovely items from
Topshops SS14 collection.
For a while I had
fallen out of love with Topshop and sometimes I think it’s a bit of a hit and
miss with their clothing. It’s like you either hate or love it. I had visited
Topshop a lot in Leeds Trinity and walked out feeling disappointed and empty
handed as most of the things were way over priced for what they was and to be
honest I found similar items in Primarni.
I took a trip back to
Lancashire land a few weeks back to get my hair cut as I won’t let another soul
touch my hair except my regular hairdresser and as a treat after having a
lovely head massage, I decided to hit Topshop to see if I could grab myself a
skirt. As soon as I entered Topshop, I was love-struck over this floral skirt
which is lightweight and perfect to wear with tights on a brisk spring day and
when the weather decides to heat up, it’s nice to wear barelegged with a pair
of jelly shoes which I will be purchasing very soon. I used to have a pair as a
little girl and now they are back in fashion, my inner 90's kid is coming out.
A few weekends ago I decided
to go on a wild night out around Huddersfield and as I don’t have a lot of
statement jewellery I was adamant I would buy some to match my outfit. Topshop
has some amazing jewellery at the moment rocking the pastel trend that I love
ever so much. I purchased this lovely statement necklace at a reasonable £14.50
after 10% student discount.
I did also purchase a
ring with a pink pastel colored stone but unfortunately on the night out, it
didn’t survive more than 15 minutes before the stone fell out of the ring which
I was pretty annoyed at considering I paid £6.50 and had only worn it a few
hours.
Whilst queuing to pay
for my items, I was eyeing up the make-up counter and I couldn’t resist. I have
heard many reviews before about Topshops lipstick so I thought I would give it
a try as I always wear my fail-safe red lipstick. With many colours to choose
from, it was hard to decide but the one that stood out the most was this coral colored
lipstick named ditsy which my friends say matches my personality very well.
I wore my velvet Asos
dress which I had posted about before which went well with my new accessories
without buying a brand new outfit.
This statement necklace looks so cool! So sorry to read that your ring broke so quickly :(
ReplyDeleteThank you Leelo :) I loved the necklace as soon as I saw it & I know I'm upset about the ring too but Topshops having a mid-season sale at the moment and selling rings for £2.50! xo
DeleteThat necklace is lovely!!
ReplyDeleteTopshop's jewellery can be very hit and miss, I've had a few things that have barely lasted five minues :(

I had never purchased rings from Topshop before. It was a nice ring but it didn't even last :( xo

ReplyDeleteThat necklace looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteTopshop can be a bit of a hit and miss. I've noticed their jewellery is quite epxnsive now! Spotted this statement piece for £80?!

Thank you :)
DeleteI don't own many statement necklaces as I usually wear my Thomas Sabo jewellery but I'm on a mission to stock up my jewellery box. I would never pay more than £20 for a necklace, £80 is way too expensive especially on a student budget! xo
What a lovely skirt that is! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you Emma :) I fell in love with it, as soon as I saw xo
DeleteGreat haul! I love the skirt. Not been in TopShop for ages, must pop in soon!

Thank you Susanne! I have fallen back in love with Topshop lately. I can't wait for the Kate Moss collection launch on the 30th of this month :) xo
DeleteI saw this skirt in Topshop recently and was so tempted! But you're right about how hit and miss it can be in there - and things do feel a bit overpriced for the quality. I do often find some more unusual things in the Trinity Topshop though :)
ReplyDeleteI think the skirt is one of their nicer items at the moment. I visited Trinity Topshop today and found some lovely things but they were too expensive for my price range! xo
