New Look Sale

I'm not one for buying things in sale if I'm honest, I can never seem to find anything I like or in my size and mainly because I see a lot of people wearing things that are on sale and it puts me off.

As I'm going out tonight for the first time in London I needed to get an outfit for tonight, I popped into New Look today to see what they have in store, I went straight into the sale section and came across this cute little black playsuit which you can never go wrong with, I also purchased a pack of bracelets and tights for the night. 

Playsuit was £22.99 bought for £8

Bracelet pack £6 bought for £3 

Tights are £2.99 

Everything I needed for less than £15 is a bargain, I defo recommend checking out the sales, wasn't disappointed this time around.

Knitted Love

Scarf New Look / Knitted Jumper Republic / Jeans New Look / Boots Miss Selfridge

On the nails Greenberry by Barry M.

I've officially moved everything to the flat, there are bits the still need to be moved but that can be at any time, but officially I've moved out of my parents and into a cute little flat in London. It feels good to have everything in the flat and its starting to feel more like a home every day now that I've got my own things in it.

I haven't been at the flat since Friday so I needed to go food shopping and do get some things for the flat so I wanted to go for something comfortable, and of course that meant going for a knitted jumper a pair of jeans and comfy boots.

H&M Backpack | Haul

I've been wanting to get a backpack for months now but I never seem to find one that I like and when ever I did it was out of stock or crazy expensive, I ended up giving up on finding one until I came across this brown leather backpack for £24.99 from H&M.

Since I'm going to be studying in a couple of weeks and currently going back and forward to London and home I needed something that I can take stuff that I need in and make the travel a little easier and I also don't really want to take all my course stuff around in a handbag so I think this will come in handy when I start.

Thats my little purchase for the week, what have you recently been loving that you've purchased?

Envy Clutch | Haul

I'm so happy that I got this in the mail on Monday, a friend who I've know since college has started building her own brand of clutch bags, since seeing pictures of her handmade bags on Instagram I just had to get my hands on one of them. 

She does them in 2 size small and big, I got the big size which fit Macbook airs and pros, I don't have a bag for my laptop (well I did but managed to lose it in the move). Since my Mac is small I can fit it in with the charger which is perfect. 

I recommend checking Envy Clutches out if you're interested in one, the prices for the Small are £15 and for the big ones are £20, I think its affordable and stylish, I also recommend check her personal blog Lucy Ballard if you'd like to find out more about her and her Envy Clutch brand.

Style Crush Monday: Kylie Jenner

If I had to pick out all of the Kardashian-Jenner girls I would pick Kylie Jenner, I like that she has more of an edgy style than her sisters, but she can glamour herself up.

If I'm looking for some inspiration when I go shopping I always tend to check Kylie's for some style inspiration, mainly for the edgy side, I like getting dressed up and making the effort but I also have to days where I want to have a edgy side.

Who's your style crush? 

How To Shop Wisely - A Shopping Guide

I think most girls will agree with me when I say that a simple run to town can turn into a shopping spree, specially when theres sales and offers in shop windows, were like a magnet being attracted to it. Being a student is difficult when you have a shopping addiction and your broke.

I have listed 3 points to help with shopping wisely and only buying what you need.

1. Choice your shopping friend/partner wisely, if you do end up going with a friend who's a shopaholic I guaranty you will buy everything you see, and it can do some bad damage to your bank account, I do this all the time, I'm a shopaholic so when my friend want to go shopping I might suggest some stuff and they'll go and buy it them selfs and they'll do the same to me. I suggest go buy yourself if you need to get new clothes for a holiday, party or anything, its always best to go by yourself so your not influenced by someone else.

2. Having a bank card with you at all times can be tempting specially when your doing a quick small trip into town. I suggest having the right amount of cash that you need and leaving your bank card at home, this will help you with the temptation you'd get to buy something you don't need. I usually give my bank card to my mum or dad when I know I'll get tempted to get some new clothes. But being at university by yourself can be quiet hard leaving your bank card at home. So remember to have cash with you to make life a little easier.

3. One thing I tend to do that puts me off shopping some time is, 'how may hours work would it take to repay this?' I always do this when it comes to unplanned shopping trips.

If you have any tips for shopping guides please share, always up for ways to stop spending.

Selling Stuff on Depop

I've been meaning to sell my clothes and shoes that I don't wear and also clothes I never actually worn and are still in my closet, a friend of mine told me about Depop and said its an easy way of selling you unwanted items, and of course I had to give this a go. 

I pretty much sorted my wardrobe out into sections of things I never wear to items I want to keep, and to be fairly honest I have a lot of clothes I never wear its ridiculous, but I'm also going shopping at the end of next month so I need space in the wardrobe for it. 

At the moment I only have 3 items up on http://depop.com/en/adrianareis so check it out, you do need to download the app to actually buy anything, and you need a Paypal account, which makes all payments easy. 

I will be uploading more items on the app to sell, so make sure to check it out.

OOTD & Charity Findings

 I went to a charity shop to buy a tailored jacket for my course and I stumbled upon this gorgeous grey jacket and I knew I had to get it, specially since it was only £3.99 which is a barging, it's a size 14 a bit big but its still wearable, I didn't have a label so I don't actually know where its from.

Since I had uni today, I did get the chance to wear it plus the weather wasn't too cold and I wanted a change from always weathering the Parka Coat (here).

A closer look at the jacket, I think I will wear this a lot more but mainly when the weather isn't so cold or rainy, otherwise 

Jacket - Charity Shop, Top - New Look, Jeans - New Look, Shoes - Next, Bag - Miss Selfridge

Sadly I couldn't watch the Oscars live due to me being in England couldn't really watch it live, but I did catch up with it today so that was good. First of all I would like to say that none of this images are my own got them from Daily Mail.

When I was looking online at the celebrities and their dresses I ended up having a lot of favourites so I wanted to do a post, picked from the blues and blacks, to pale, nude colours, I also wanted to do best dressed couples and best dressed males, so lets get started.
The Blues & Blacks.

Review: Mallzee

Recently Mallzee got in touch with me and wanted me to try their app, I do love a good shopping app and shopping in general so I thought why not give it a try. 

They describe Mallzee as ‘a personal shopper in your pocket’. The app has over 2 million products from the high-street favorites i.e. Topshop, Urban Outfitters & NastyGal. And shows you items that suit your style.

Mallzee is a new social shopping app that lets you make purchases from a wide range of stores. You can also get your friends opinions about something that you would like to buy, you can swipe right if you like the outfit and left for a dislike. I love this idea as its time saving and such an easy thing to do. 

Pros:

• The App is easy to use

• Unique Idea/App

• Free to download

• Wide range of brands/shops to shop from. 

• Gives you a brief tutorial at the beginning. 

• Easy to browse through items.

Cons:

At the moment the app is only available to download for free on the App Store Here.

It will be available for download on Android and other platforms in the future.

I recommend you to download the app and give it ago, it does exactly what it says, and its FREE to download. If you do not have an iPhone/IPad you can always check their website out Link.

Let me know if you've downloaded this app, and what you think of it.

Thanks for reading.
