A few new purchases..

tThis past week I've treated myself to a few new things.

My boyfriend has said I'm going through a little red, grey, baggy vest and shorts phase..and he's not wrong.

I'm especially loving shorts even though this UK weather is poor- but I'm justifying it to myself by the fact that I can wear them in Thailand.

By the way, I had a fabulous birthday- thank you all so much for your wonderful birthday messages, they really made my day.

I got really spoilt by my family and my boyfriend as per usual- I'm a very lucky girl. As well as huge fabness, my boyfriend got me a new compact Lumix, as I wanted a handbag camera and one that films in HD..(Contemplating videos!) but I'm not sure I'm going to reach for it overly often as I have a huge camera collection already and still only reach for my G1..What do you think? I'm not being ungrateful, he completely understands. I just don't want to waste his money. I'm SO indecisive and need your help.

Anyway..back to the haul..

River Island Light Brown Chelsea Boots- £40

Available here

I really love these and although there fake leather I think there a reasonable price. They look good and I really like the heel.

Topshop MOTO Purple Cut Off Hotpants- £26

Available here

Darker than purple purple, I'm not too sure. But with a tan and a vest on a beach I think I will love them.

Topshop MOTO Berry Hotpants- £26

Available here

I've wanted these forever, but no Topshop had them until I got to Manchester.

I found a Levis Urban Renewal pair in Urban Outfitters that were really similar, finally found my size- Levis are a pain, got the till and they had a stupid rip which really would have annoyed me so I had to let them go from life..

Floral Bikini from Next from the Geri collection-about £38 for both pieces.

I don't need to say anything about this. I LOVE it.

Jack Wills Grey Loose Vest- £12 Sale.

All Saints Grey Shorts- £20 from £40 in the sale.

I love these, I originally had these in Khaki, Cream and Light Blue Denim too but I realised that would be a little too silly and opted just for the Grey.

I love all of my new things..especially the sale bargains- have you treated yourself recently?

Bicester Village

Hope you all had a fantastic Easter weekend!

Yesturday, my boyfriend and I took a little road trip down to Bicester Village. It was such a lovely day!

I've never been before and I love little outlet shopping places- I've been to a few and this to be honest was by far one of the best.

It didn't have as many shops as some of the ones I've been to in the past, but it did have a few of my faves, including Cath Kidston! Eeeeek!

We didn't go until quite late, so I was a bit apprehensive of how it would be- especially with it being a Bank Holiday, but it was fine. It was open until 8 which was fantastic!

My boyfriend super spoilt me....

I am possibly the most indecisive person ever!
I spent absolutely agess deciding what I wanted in Cath Kidston, ended up putting it all down, going for lunch, going back and picking up completely different things!

I ended up with the Summer Saddle Bag, I've wanted one similar to this by Cath Kidston for a while and was tempted by eBay and asos to get one but I am so glad I waited. I got this for £30 and they normally retail at about £60-70!

I also got matching accessories. I got the cosmetic bag, the keyring and the Washed Roses zipped purse.

I am so incredibley happy with these!

They also had a luggage bag, which I couldn't decide whether to get, I loved it but wasn't sure I'd get lots of use out of it as I have quite a similar Abercrombie one. However, I've been thinking about it alot today and think I might go back..

My second favourite shop was Jack Wills. I really like there stuff. I really wanted to get a couple of hoodies, some jeans and lounge bottoms but to be honest, I really wasn't in the mood to rummage in there. Its a really small shop and I was getting a little bit cross at people. Especially after having to queue in a "one out, one in" situation to get in!

I ended up leaving, and going in again just before we went home when it was a lot less busy.

I still didn't manage to get quite what I wanted due to the Cath Kidston luggage bag still being on my mind and trying to decide what would be better and after following my mums advice of "if your not sure- just leave it"- I left with just one tee.

I quite like boyish tees and so I picked up this little bargain one- sorry its sideways, It was £14 down from £35. I love it.

Below are a few random shots from the day- please excuse the bad quality, they was taken with my iPhone, I left my sd card in my laptop! Grr.

Vivienne Westwood

Jack Wills

Alexander McQueen & Jimmy Choo

Cath Kidston, Luella & Villandry- The nicest restaurant!

The wellies in the bottom left were in the Ugg shop.. I thought I'd take this moment to share my new wellies with you. I love them. There from Office and I was only £15. I can't wait to be able to wear them.
