Winter Wardrobe Haul

The last couple of months I have been saving for upcoming events in October and November so haven't really been able to spend any money but last week was the last straw. I just felt really fed up and felt like my wardrobe needed sprucing up a bit. Since I'd been saving for the last couple of months, I thought that I deserved to treat my self to a few new bits and bobs. So guess what?! I went and did exactly that!

Above I have displayed some of the items I purchased in various cities. The other weekend I went up to Newcastle to help my boyfriend move into his new house and since we were already in the city we thought - why not go browse the shops! The Clementine shade Ralph Lauren Shirt-Dress was purchased from the newly opened Best Newcastle. I was really happy with this dress because I think its just so versatile. I can use it as office wear for work as it looks smart - whether it be as a dress with leggings or underneath a woolly jumper. I just know I'll get a lot of wear out of it. This dress was also my first ralphy purchase ever (shocking I know!). 

 With the 12th September being the release launch date of the Rihanna for River Island collection, I was determined from the day the collection was revealed that I needed to get something from her A/W set. Everything in the collection is just so me, it's tomboyish, fierce and has an urban gangster feel to it. I pre-ordered the G4 life bralet and then bought the baseball top from the Leeds RI store on Saturday (as seen on Cara Delevingne!!). In Leeds I also picked up this vintage oversized Levis denim jacket. All the denim jackets I ever wear are normally stolen from my boyfriend and I thought it was about time I invested in my own. At a not so hefty £30 from Best Leeds, I was more than happy with the jacket. It will be a wardrobe staple for sure! I also grabbed this oversized flannel tartan shirt which will also get tonnes of wear this winter - especially with Tartan being a hit A/W trend this season.

Purchase these items for yourself!:

So last weekend I decided to play about with having a photo shoot, it's something I've never done before so I'm aware that it is very much amateur but it was just something I wanted to have fun with. Photo shoots are naturally awkward as it means you're suddenly put in the spot light and every sense of movement you've ever had seems to disappear as soon as a camera is put in front of your face.  

Here is a run down of what I'm wearing: 

• The gorgeous bracelets are from LizzleTrix. LizzleTrix makes bracelets that look good enough to eat. In this shot I'm wearing - Club Tropicana, Dolly Daydream (my favourite!!), Lizzlelove and Ibiza purple (my second favourite). The Dolly Daydream is my favourite bracelet as it really does look like Dolly Mixture sweets and I seriously just wanted to eat it! Ibiza purple was my second favourite as I'm totally into this neon purple look at the moment. I also feel the Ibiza bracelet teamed great with the old school bomber jacket I'm wearing. 
• The golden rustic looking spiked necklace is from New Look. This is a staple item of mine and I tend probably over wear it. 
• The bomber jacket is Vintage.
• The Short-sleeved Clementine shaded shirt dress is my amazing new dress which I purchased from Best Newcastle. Best is my favourite shop as it is full of re-worked vintage clothing. It's right up my street.
•  And last but not least, my shoes are Nike Blazers that were purchased from Foot Asylum.
