Heat on the High Street: H&M

Hi Internet!

In following to my most recent Heat On The High Street featuring New Look, I have decided to choose H&M as my next victim! I went in the other day looking for a black skater skirt, but got a bit distracted. 

In my opinion, H&M are really great at doing everything, from simple pieces to lace detail and graphic designs.  As well as quality, I'm always out for a bargin (like any other girl!). I find shops like Miss Selfridge and River Island to be very fashion-forward, but not great on my purse. 

So in this quick post I scoured H&M to find my pick of the dresses ranging from £7.99 to £25, all different lengths and colours, that can be dressed up differently for summer with their amazing variety of shoes. All the images below link to Polyvore, and then H&M's website where you can find all of the items!

Happy Tuesday!

Heat On The High Street: New Look

Hi Internet!

Today I have a summer fashion set which I made on Polyvore. I've had Polyvore for a couple of years, but never really used it, due to most of the clothes already on the site being ridiculously expensive. Like most people, I don't like finding things I like that realistically I can't buy. This set features things that I've gone out and bought (to be featured in an upcoming A Week In Outfits post) from New Look. 

I went into the New Look initially looking for jersey tops to go with everything, but got a bit distracted by all the colour in the shop at the moment! I don't usually find anything I like in New Look, but their summer collection is really my style! Lots of bright neon colours to pair with florals and other detailed pieces. I feel the detail and the fabric have the ability to make things look more expensive that they actually are - the two clothing pieces in this set do just that. 

I only bought the clothing, but have similar accessories to those featured in the set - all from New Look!

CLOTHING

Blue Jersey Top

£7.99

Currently on 2 for £10!

Floral Skort

£15 

From the kids section! Their sizes are rather big for childrens, I got a 13-14 years.

In the adult section they do 2 skorts with almost the same floral pattern- just with different colours.

ACCESSORIES

Strappy Wedges

£30

Beige Bowler Bag

£25

JEWELLERY

Bangles

£4.99

Watch

£20

Beauty wise, in the set I featured Barry M.'s Gelly nail polish in Blue Grape, although most of the Gelly shades would go with this outfit because they are all so bright!

Also featured is one of the Maybelline Colour Whispers in Coral Ambition. The Colour Whispers haven't been released in the UK yet, but I know the Maybelline lipsticks come in loads of shades, of failing that, the Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipsticks have great formulas.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog, hopefully this colourful outfit brightened up your day!

What high street shop should I check out next?? Thinking of doing this as a weekly thing!

Sunday Hauling

SUNDAY WANDERING: POUNDLAND

Poundland had a great voucher which I found on the internet, £2 or a £12 purchase.

So guess what I did; went and bought 12 things of course!

Some people would argue that I didn't save at all, because I had to spend in the first place. However I would argue that if these were things that I would eventually have to purchase in another shop, I will have saved in the long run!

This is a break down of what I went in for and the impulse purchases.

WHAT I WENT IN FOR:

CRISPS x2

Would have been: ASDA have 3x 6 Packs for £4

What I bought: 2x 5 Packs for £2

Deodorant

Would have been: £2

What I bought: 1x for £1

Listerine Mouth Wash

Would have been: £1.50 (Asda)

Kleenex Mini Packs

Would have been 6x £1

Got 8x for £1

IMPULSE BUYS:

Heart Fairy Lights

£1

Note: they are only around meter long, ones from Primark might be more of a bargin!

Lauren Conrad 'Sugar and Spice: L.A Candy' Hardcover

Would have been £12.99

Detol Surface Cleaner

Would have been £2

(Thumbs up for the fancy cleaning photography)

Creme Eggs

At the moment Asda have 12 eggs for £4

...so works out the same

Rimmel Nail Polish

Would have been £3.99 in Superdrug

Scent Diffuser Scents

Mango & Papaya

Vanilla

Fresh Linen

Unsure of the prices, but thought I'd test out the scents for only being a pound.

There was one last thing I bought, but I'm not sure what it was. Must have been really useful! So overall I saved around £19. Definitely something to be proud of!

When I went in they also had a lot of beauty products such as the Sinful Colour nail polishes, Calvin Klein creme shadows/liners, Rimmel lip liners. I recommend going into Poundland if it's near you before checking out Boots or Superdrug for a impulse beauty purchase.

For people that have never been to Poundland, you're missing out!!
