Tie Dye Top - c/o Bitter + Twisted || Crochet Shorts - Boo Hoo || Bracelets - Primark || Pastel Socks - Primark || Sandals - Primark || Necklace - Primark || Sunglasses - Ray Ban

The sun was out today! Yay! For a total of about 10 minutes, but hey. I decided to go and collect Kelly (my beloved bike, currently stashed away at my boyfriend's parents house, sob) and go for a cycle as I haven't really been out on her at all this year and felt bad. You have probably seen me posting pics of this top on instagram that the lovely Rachel of Bitter + Twisted kindly gifted to me and I LOVE it soooo much. I love anything tie dyed but the colour of this I adore, and it was hand made too! You can check out their facebook page here and shop their range on eBay here. Bitter + Twisted are all about vintage, second hand and customised clothing and they've got some really cute pieces up for sale - perfect for the festival season and at incredibly affordable prices. I've got my eye on a few things but I think I've spent enough recently, don't you? LOL. I know I keep asking but voting closes next week for the Cosmo Blog Awards and I would love it if you could vote for me under Best New Fashion Blog (blogging under 18 months). If you like my blog you can vote here. Thank yooooou so much! Xxx

Okay. I did it. I shopped. If you saw my last haul here, you will know that when I shop. I shop. My last haul had some nice stuff in it but it was all pretty dull. I decided that with summer just around the corner (we hope) it was time for some colour. You may have seen me whining on twitter recently over the fact that my Forever 21 shopping basket was sitting at around the £170 mark. I just couldn't bring myself to checkout when I knew that I had to pay off my holiday. But, after much thought of the 'sod it' variety, I reassessed the situation, went back with a fresh eye and stocked up my basket again. LUCKILY, I didn't spend anywhere near what it was at before (in total with everything else... Maybe.) I kind of just thought, hey, I work hard, I deserve this! I've been after these Jeffrey C's for ages and managed to get hold of a pair on eBay for £35 in total. There's an Office shop on there selling discounted shoes that are either ex display or returns and all that was wrong with this pair, was a tiny mark on the back which came off anyway! Result. 

The two piece blazer and shorts from Sabo Skirt I'm actually in love with. So lightweight and perfect for summer. They are an Australian brand but only took 4 days to arrive!!! Amazing service. So yeah. The majority of the stuff I bought online from Forever 21 I didn't like when it arrived or some stuff didn't fit, so I had to trek all the way into central London to take it back. Which ultimately led me to finding more things I wanted and also led me to Primark! Gaaaah. The one on Oxford Street is literally hell on earth. I also got some beaut pastel socks and a bum bag from Primark which I forgot about. Ooops. See, I can't even remember half the stuff I bought - probably a sign that I didn't even need it. I always say this is the last time I'll spend money on clothes for a while. But that never happens. Although, on the plus side, I had a MASSIVE clear out and put over 30 items on eBay so if you want to have a look my eBay member name is joannerandall2003 or just click this link - I hope that works! Anyway, I will be sure to get lots of outfit posts up soon, hopefully when the weather perks up a bit! Xxxx

POW

Jumper - Primark || Trousers - Urban Outfitters || Creepers - Underground || Bum Bag - Primark || Sunglasses - Ray Ban

Just a quick one as I have a million things to upload onto eBay. I am not looking forward to it. But it's free listing so I NEED to get it done today. Urgh. In fact, this POW jumper was in my pile of stuff to sell but decided I quite liked it in the end after seeing how well it went with these trousers, which I picked up in Urban Outfitters sale ages ago for £10. But I still don't know. Sell or keep, what do you think?? I'll be sure to upload a little snippet of what I'm selling with my eBay name in case any of you guys are interested :) Also, I would LOVE it if you could nominate me for best new fashion blog (blogging under 18 months) in the Cosmopolitan blogger awards if you like my blog. If you would like to nominate me you can do so here. I would be eternally grateful! xxx
