Hello loves, welcome to my blog! For one of my first blog post's I really wanted to do a haul. If you have randomly stumbled upon my blog you wont know that I have a youtube channel where I post content every week. If you want to watch the video for this haul, head over and watched it! Carry on reading if you want to see what I got, how I would style them and more explanation on what I thought about each individual item!



S U N G L A S S E S // https://goo.gl/MS6uUT

First item of this haul is an accessory or shall I say accessories. I picked up this two pack for sunglasses for £16. Some of you may think its silly that ive picked up sunglasses when its turning into autumn but the sun makes an appearance every now and again and I fancied adding some more pairs to my collection. These are both really good quality and actually do make a difference as most of the time I find with cheaper sunglasses that they dont actually do anything! But I wont be keeping them. I have a pair I am obsessed with which are a bigger version, from when I went to the £15 per kilo vintage fair, (which if you haven't heard of, google it, its amazing!) and I love those more so I've decided to send these ones back!

The first clothing item of this haul is something I have decided to definitely keep! Its this gorgeous Asos own, rusty pink coloured dress. Its made of a really simple cotton but I love the details this dress has! I love the ruffles around the sleeves, making them more of a three-quarter length style and also how it isnt just straight down and has the skirt section just under your boobs. You could wear this both in the summer and autumn / winter. I would style this in autumn with my black teddy bear jacket, and a pair of boots, tights if it gets too cold but I avoid those as much as possible as im not the biggest fan of them! I have already worn this a few times and even left it on to film my youtube video after trying it on as I loved it so much!

I then picked up a t-shirt dress. I have been looking for a couple of t-shirt dresses for a while. I love that you can just throw them on and you are ready! I am really happy with this Asos own, khaki green one I picked up. Im usually not into this colour but it is the perfect shade of green! In this image I paired it with a simple black belt. If I was going out in this as an autumn outfit, I would add my slide on black vans to keep it casual, and add a black chunky knit cardigan to keep warm! You could also obviously loose the belt and keep it more loose. I personally love these for when you are going out for a meal, want to look nice but also don't want your food baby on show!

The third and last dress of this haul is another Asos own, t-shirt dress. This one, this time being in a peachy pink. I styled this with the same black belt from the pervious outfit and my primark black teddy bear jacket which I mentioned earlier! If you are looking for a one of these jackets and live in the UK, or where there is a primark, go and check this one out as It couldn't be of a better quality and I know they also have the brown one too!


I think this is really cute but am unsure if it looks strange with my skin tone as I am quite pale at the minute. I think if I had a tan, it would look way nicer on my skin tone. But I love the way on this dress that the sleeves fold over but are still a really nice length. The quality is also really nice like the last two.

I have been on the hunt for blouses for a few months now. I have still not been successful with finding ones I really like which makes me sad but I will eventually find some!


I picked up this one by the brand parallel lines, who I hadn't shopped with before. I really love the style and pattern of this but the material and fit on me isnt the best. I dont like how it fits around my chest area, I dont think it falls that nicely and it is also kind of see through... So this is going back but it is really cute, just not the best quality out there, it was £28 so I don't see it as worth the price which is again sad but oh well! If I were to keep this, I would have styled it with my cropped flared jeans, a black bag and some trainers!


B E I G E - S H I R T // https://goo.gl/89jTxK

The second blouse / shirt I picked up was this one by Stradivarius. I really love the colour and style of this but I was really expecting it to be a completely different material. I dont know if on Asos or where they do the photoshoots, the lighting is very good (which it is definitely going to be) and the pictures are edited but to me it look as if it was silk... I think I maybe should have read it properly! Apart from that, I love the colour and style. Also this type of buttons are my fave but I don't know if I should keep it as it just isnt what I am looking for and I dont think I would wear it! I would style this blouse with half ticked into a skirt, or even fully tucked into a pair of jeans with some pumps. Keep in simple as the shirt is enough itself.

A lot of people may not call this a blouse but I would class it as one! This polo style blouse is by the brand Bershka, another of my faves. Again featuring the buttons I love, this is so cute. The only downfall is that the material of this is very similar to the black and white blouse, its not the best quality. I love the detailing with the stitching, which is a burnt red / orange colour. it helps to give the top even more individuality. I would also choose to style this with a denim skirt or a high waisted pair of jeans!


F A U X - F U R - G I L E T // https://goo.gl/pH6wUE

The most expensive item at £50, I dont see this as worth it. It looked a lot nicer on the Asos website, even though it is still pretty.


This grey or almost lilac faux fur gilet is by a brand called Willow & Paige. I got this in a medium and I would say that it just doesn't fit me very well. I would like something like this to at least come together in the middle so im all snug and it doesn't. If I was to have a bigger size I would style this with a black hoodie, some trousers and trainers!


P I N K - S T R I P E - T R O U S E R S // https://goo.gl/BiLVw5

I then picked up two pairs of trousers. This gorgeous pair which I am torn on weather to keep or not, are by pretty little thing. If you are any smaller than 5'8, you would have to get these taken up as these as edging on being too long on me! But apart from these being long, I love the style, colours and quality. Im unsure on them because I dont know if in person they look too much like pyjamas? I dont know... I paired them in this photo with a all black items (I love black); a black crop top, black belt and my fave Newlook shaggy black cardigan which I throw on with almost everything! I think that you could wear these dressed up or down. Id dress these up with a simple pair of black heels, and probably the same other items!


P L E A T E D - T R O U S E R S // https://goo.gl/wDWwLg

This next pair of trousers are from Boohoo. I am a sucker for pleated trousers and have had a few pairs and worn them to death but these are ill fitting to say the least. I got them in a size 10, very normally my size and they really cling around the area that they probably shouldn't be (I really had to choose a position in this photograph where you couldn't see that). They also crop at a very awkward length, they are ankle bashers which isnt a good look. If they were properly cropped or just long they would be fine. Apart from those two facts, I love the paper-bag waist, with the drawstring and they are really nice quality. I would style these with a crop top, trainers and a denim jacket for a pop of colour if I were to keep them, but I would definitely need a bigger size.


M I D I - S K I R T // https://goo.gl/Fi9ds5

I picked up a midi skirt next. The only other time I have worn a midi skirt was my leavers prom at school, and I dont know why I tried another as I look back at those photos and hate the style on me! This is really cute, but I hate how it looks on me, I consider myself a tall and it makes me look short, cuts my legs off. It is also in a simple stretch cotton which I wasn't expecting from the photos, I feel like this material isnt right for the style of skirt. Apart from these facts I love the pattern and how it almost looks as if it was hand drawn. I just don't like it on me! If I were to style this... I would keep it simple with a white or black crop top, tight as the skirt and loose and some black slip on shoes.


B L A C K - J U M P S U I T // https://goo.gl/RYMsU6

lastly is an item again from Bershka. It is this really gorgeous black jumpsuit with white detailing. I really like the style of this and the small details such as the bow around the waist and the cut out sections also at the waist.


I would style this either dressed up or down, with a pair of heels or a pair of trainers. keeping it very monotone, with black and white accessories also. Its made of a really nice stretch cotton and is super soft.


So that is it! Thats the end of my first haul blog post. I hope you enjoyed it and that maybe you found something you liked. If you want to see more of me, head over and subscribe to my youtube and also follow me on Instagram where I post almost everyday!
