Big Shoplog!

Still on my budget, but got a lot of nice stuff over the last few weeks I want to show you.

 First up these shoulder padded tops from ZARA.

Black suede ankle boots I found on sale at Asos.com. The brand is Park Lane.

A two tone tone bag I found at ZARA.

This blue bag was a gift from my boyfriend. He got it at Sacha.

A black and white striped linen top from H&M.

Two perfect fitting pants from H&M. The left one is H&M trend and the other one the plain label.

Catface top from H&M Divided.

Lace skirt from H&M.

The last two pairs of shoes still have to arrive to my home. Don't know if I will keep them. I found them both on H&M SALE for 10 and 15 euros.                   

New in my closet

Finally my Romwe order arrived!

 This jumper was actually the main reason I placed an order at Romwe, and I'm not dissapointed.

Second up, also a gorgeous piece. It fits perfectly. I love that the front's shorter than the back.

Besides from smelling really bad (this problem was easily solved by washing it) this cardigan is perfect also. Really soft and warm and I love the chains and the few sequins on it which gives it a little sparkle.

Maybe you remember that there were also two faux woolen shorts in my order. These didn't fit unfortunately.

Shopping budget
Since the start of this year I'm on a shopping budget. Eventhough my expences on clothing were already halved compared to a few years ago when I was literally spending everything I had I still think it was too much.
That's why I'm allowing myself to spend half of what I spend in 2012 on clothes, so each month I have a budget. When I sell things on Marktplaats/Ebay I may add this to my budget and when there is anything left I'm allowed to add it to the budget of the next month. Who else thinks this is a good idea?

These two peplum tops are my first buys of the month january. I picked them up at New Look for 11,95 each.

Finders Keepers

Recently I showed you both my H&M and my Monki order. They both arrived in the meantime and I want to show you what I've kept.

About Monki I can be short, I've ofcourse kept all 4 tops. They were cute and really cheap, two of them were only 6 euros each.

From the H&M order I kept the jegging (eventhough the fit isn't too great, it's only 9,95 and I like the print) and the top. It's really soft and comfy. On the website the collar of the top was supposed to be black but it's grey IRL, nevertheless, cute top to keep.

Sorry 'bout the poor quality of this photo, I took it during the day. This is the proof we need more sunshine after all these grey days.. The coat is the last thing I kept from my H&M order. I just liked it. The fake leather sleeves are rather short though, if you have long arms like me, might be good to know ;)

I also received the wolf jumper from Primark but I don't think I'll keep it. It's kinda a little girls sweater because of the pink and the little sparkle stones on it.

ROMWE order

I cannot wait 'till I receive my Romwe order! I've found five gorgeous items on their website.

On 'Marktplaats' I also got the wolf jumper from Primark I was looking for.

The one on the left obviously (this picture isn't mine, found it on the web). I'm a real sucker for clothing with an animal printed on it. I remember my first owl tee I got from Dorothy Perkins years ago, I've worn it so much it's almost transparant from washing.

Happy New Year!

A very Happy New Year to you all!

New Shoes

As promised, the newest shoes in my collection. First up;

    Red suede booties - Sacha

Two tone ankle boots - H&M

I already showed you I bought these high boots but now a picture of my own. These are H&M also.
