We're Heading Northe, Heading Home

*I will apologise in advance that the better quality pictures are at the bottom of this post*

On Tuesday I headed up north to see my family in County Durham. After a 2 and a half hour drive I took a break from the driving and my Mum whisked us up to the Metro Centre for a lovely day out.

Dress: Dorothy Perkins (£20) , Ombre Cardi: Primark (£5 in sale), Boots: Barratts (years old)
Contrary to my miserable facial expression I was in a good mood; just squinting like hell because it was such a bright sunny day!
We started off in IKEA. I do love me some IKEA <3 We spent about £25 between us, with only £1.50 of that being my Mum's... I'll do a better post on what we got as hilariously I went to see my Mum with one overnight bag and subsequently came back with a car load. Spoilt isn't the word!

We also visited literally every shop in the Metro Centre and I couldn't believe some of the gorgeous bits that Topshop and Miss Selfridge had in their sale sections! 

 

Stunning dress in Topshop for only £15! So flattering too!

These beauties were from Miss Selfridge (L - £20 R - £10!)

I'm a bit miffed that I didn't purchase any of these lovelies but I think I had spent enough that day! I did however get a few bits from Primark and dress from H&M.

 

It must be said, I seem to be very drawn to blue dresses! This dress was £13 and I couldn't resist because it's firstly a lovely flock print, my favourite(!) and secondly it's a skater style, the most super flattering for me. The bra was reduced down to £3 and is very lovely quality. Primark seem to have upped the quality of some of their underwear and it feels somewhat of a luxury to wear! I couldn't resist the little bird, he was only £1.50 :)

I absolutely love this one from H&M. I try to stray away from black clothing due to my skin condition but I couldn't help myself with this. It was only £14.99 and it feels so soft with a flow-y chiffon material at the bottom and lace at the top with a see-through back. Lovely jubbly!

Hope you like this post! Have you ever been to the Metro Centre or bought bits from IKEA recently?

This Asos skater dress is soooo pretty & very me! Anyone got £25 laying around so I may purchase it? Pretty pleases? With cherries on top????

I came across this the other day on Etsy. It's so intricate and awesome!!

Another Etsy find. So cute and very doable.

I love the print of this dress. I haven't been able to find a dress with this print that suits me. This is a smock which I'd usually stray away from but I think it could work.

I also think this is awesome. I came across it via Pinterest. Such a cool idea!



What d'ya think?xx

Wednesday Wishes

Some of the dresses I am lusting over this week... All skater dresses!

1. River Island floral print dress. I absolutely adore the ditsy floral print on this dress. It's actually extremely different to anything I own because it's cream with red and green  and is just genuinely so pretty! £40 though.
2. Topshop floral dress. I love this too! I'm a bit scared of Topshop but I've seen this one on a few blogs and I just love it. A perfect mix of stripes and florals, yum! £26
3. Dorothy Perkins wine lace dress. I am so, so gutted I missed out on this in a size 8! I had it saved in my basket but decided I'd pop into town just to see if they had it. They didn't and by the time I got back home it had completely sold out. Bummer!!! £24
4. Grey marl Topshop dress. I love the simplicity of it and how I could wear it with literally anything and everything! £26
5. Wine Missguided dress. For some reason I never think to look on the Missguided website but for £12.99 and only £1.95 for p&p I may just need to reconsider!
6. Aztec Topshop dress. This again has done it's rounds on all the blogs but I'm a sucker. £26

I've also just come across this little lovely.


Topshop. You are mean! I have no pennies!!!

Have you found any nice skater dresses lately?
