Spring Topshop haul

I'm sure you are all aware that Topshop are having a major "spring" sale right now. There is up to 50% of pretty much all of the winter items and some of the upcoming summer items. So, taking full advantage I logged online and browsed for a good half an hour. I am always hesitant to buying online as I have had many negative experiences whereby they've hacked my card, lost my order somehow or simply take months (literally!) to arrive. To prevent number #1 happening again, I always make sure that the shop accepts PayPal - it is the most safest way to buy online, pretty much guaranteed.*

Any-who, in my final basket were four lovely items with price reductions that I simply could not refuse. My aim was to get full-sleeved items as spring in England is cold, but of course I had to get some items for summer. Oops.

Chaos sweater. I think this will look nice with light blue shorts and large gold jewellery. I love sweaters like this, they are so nice and comfortable. Plus, it's by my absolute favourite in-store designer Illustrated People that make effortless, almost American themed, items. They remind me of a cheaper alternative to the incredibly expensive Wildfox Couture. The majority of their stuff costs almost half the price of a baggy beach jumper! Here's a link to their online store via the Topshop website.


This one is really simple and the reason why I got it is because of the little lion emblem. I love little details like that; strange reason to get it, I know. This cost me £12 which, I think, is pretty awesome considering it was £28. If it wasn't on sale, I don't think I would have got it. Get it here!



I saw this in the store and I absolutely loved the "netted" look it had about it. The only thing that put me off was the fact it looked - and felt - uncomfortable. Despite this, I picked it up anyway due to the huge reduction and I absolutely love it. I tried it on yesterday with some pale blue denim shorts and some black boots and it looks great. I must admit that I didn't go outside wearing it as it was raining/thundering/nearly snowing! I know I definitely will when summer comes around. 

I couldn't find it online, sorry! :'(










This is probably the worst image I have ever took. You can't even see what it looks like. Omg! I'll try and describe it. It is a dark grey (don't get put of by my idiotic camera lighting) lightly baggy cami with the words Established embossed on the front. It's safe to say that I am probably the most boring person when it comes to fashion. I always go for the effortless, lazy look. Jeans, a baggy t-shirt and boots are my favourite combo for winter and for summer, replace jeans with shorts. Simple as. This is mainly why I always buy clothes like above. I have so many tops like it, it's unhealthy. Once, I tried to get into layering and it went completely wrong. I have learnt never to copy anyone else's style completely - adapting it to suit yourself is fine but copying someone - especially without full confidence in what your wearing - doesn't work and it looks so wrong. I have learnt that. I now know not to mix leopard print, floral and colour blocking in one outfit. Yes, it sounds weird but at the time it was cool, ok?! Ha-ha! 

Going off in a tangent here...

I find Topshop to be ridiculously expensive (for what it is) so when the sales come around, I get happy. If you haven't already check out the online sale here or go into your local store. I advise going online first as they have more stock available online than in store!

Happy shopping.

Ps. Anyone looking forward to the Barcelona vs Chelsea match tonight? Yes, I'm a girl, but I love watching football. Even though I support Arsenal, I think Barcelona are my favourite international team. I'm definitely going to watch! Thank god for Sky Sports.
