Topshop haul- SS14 collection





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.

Asos- Figure hugging velvet dress


The weekend just seemed to slip away and before I knew it, it was time to attend lectures and seminars at university after having a busy but more relaxed time during my reading week. In the past few weeks, I haven’t really been out on the town properly where I could dress up and show off my new outfit. As my readers know I have only just recently had a break up after three years of being in a relationship so it’s been a tough time and I finally wanted to show the world I’m back.

I live in Huddersfield and as it’s a fairly cheap night out and I live close to town, myself and a few friends wanted a nice night out to relax and forget about our worrying troubles of finishing our degrees.
A few weeks back I was having a nosy on Asos when I came across a gorgeous figure hugging velvet look burgundy dress but to my horror, it had sold out of my size.

 A few days later I was online when an advertisement popped up showing the same dress again because I had clicked on it previously. I took my chances to see if they could have possible restocked a few more size 8’s and to my surprise, they had. I didn't waste a second and within a flash I had ordered the sweetheart neckline dress for an incredible £27.00 with student discount.


Finally after a few weeks waiting, the opportunity came to go on a night out and of course I couldn't refuse. It was the perfect chance to team my dress with the Primark heels I mentioned in an earlier post. One of my girly friends let me lend a lovely statement necklace for the night which she had bought from Venice and I took this cute vintage box bag which I received as a gift for Christmas from Topshop.


I painted my lips red and gave my eyes a smoky effect too to finish my look. It’s safe to say though, the morning after I looked nothing like I did in the photos and I was fighting off a very aggressive hangover but it was worth it.
