The Shopping Edit | April 2013

As most of you know I have a clothes budget of £250 that I aim to stick to every month (I'm allowed to carry over between months), and here's this month's round-up:

 

 

 







1. White Lace Top, Oasis £30 (Online Here). I love this simple top because it goes with everything but is also a little bit interesting with the lace detailing and the zips on the shoulders. It looks really smart with a blazer and skinny jeans. And it's now 20% off online (use code 20MAYTREAT), so you can pick it up for £6 less than I did, jealous!

2. Black Shirt, H&M £19.99 (Online Here). I wanted a smarter black shirt and this one fits the bill perfectly. It's a really nice shape and I'll be able to pair it with loads of stuff. Love a good wardrobe staple!

3. Blue Leopard Print Top, TK Maxx £12.99 (Not available online). I've already blogged about my love for this little number here.

4. White/Cream Peplum Blazer, H&M £10 (Sold out online). I literally couldn't believe my luck when I stumbled across this gem in the H&M sale. It fits like a dream and I was on the look out for a light blazer for summer. It looks great with skinny jeans or a dress (for a wedding look). I couldn't find it online but they may still have some left in-store.

5. Blue Patterned Trousers, Warehouse £27 (Online Here). These are normally £36, but I got 25% off using a code from vouchercodes.co.uk. I love the patterned trouser trend but I have to be careful as my legs are short and toned, as opposed to long and lean! The fit of these is perfect, I want to get some bright heels to wear with them, along with a simple white tee or shirt.

6. Coral Jeans, Oasis £38 (Online Here). I'm still obsessed with anything Coral so when I saw these they had to be mine! The fit is lovely, they are really soft and stretchy and will be great for Spring/Summer.

7. Fringe Ankle Boots, Miss Selfridge £39.99 (Online Here). I bought these because the weather in the UK wasn't really warm enough for pumps and sandals but I was completely bored of my winter boots. I love them! They look great with skinny jeans now, and when the weather warms up they may work with skirts....we'll see.

8. Green Dress, TK Maxx £14.99 (Not available online). These was a "for holiday" purchase. The dress itself is pretty sheer and has a cute cut-out back so I probably wouldn't wear it "around town" but it's perfect for chucking on over bikini's on holiday. I really like the vibrant fun, colour and was feeling optimistic for sunny days when I bought it!

9. Neon Pink Bracelet, Miss Selfridge £5 (Sold Out Online). I've already blogged about my love of "Arm Candy" here. This is super-fun, and I'm sure it won't last very long but for a fiver who cares?! I couldn't find this one online but I know that Miss Selfridge have some Diva Jewellery on sale so you might still be able to pick it up in-store.

Total: £197.96

Yes!! Over £50 under-budget, and I have nine new items that I love.

What goodies did you pick up this month?
