T K MAXX.

I don't know if anyone else had the impression that T K Maxx was a bit drab and boring, but after stumbling upon it yesterday and then taking a look at their website, my opinion has completely changed!
They have tonnes of designer bargains and even the stuff that isn't designer, is really cute. If you trawl through their mish mash of stuff, you spot some real gems. Here are my favourite:-

Angie Navy Multi Printed Tube Maxi Dress - £16.99
Great for the summer and such a good price!

Matties Mocha Tassel Backpack - £19.99
I LOVE this, I'm so close to buying it and I couldn't believe the price, it's very vintage looking and is practical for school or work.

Furla Ladies Black Injected Sunglasses - £24.99 (RRP £90)
Now the sun's in sight these are a unique and stylish way of shielding your eyes. They're so cool and the unusual shape sets you apart from the crowd! Plus they're such a bargain since the retail price is £90!

Roberto Botella Brown Studded Gladiator Sandals - £29.99 (RRP £58)
Down from £58 and everybody needs a pair of gladiator sandals for the summer. The colour will go with pretty much anything and they're easy to throw on because of the zip at the back.

Do you like T K Maxx?

FREEDOM!

Exams are over and I'M BACK!
To celebrate our freedom, me and my friend took a trip to the one and only Westfield, after all what better way to enjoy your freedom than shopping? It was quite an exciting day, not only did we see Ellie Goulding and Greg James in front of us in the queue in Topshop but the journey home was also eventful as it was the night of the big Man U vs. Barcelona match so there was lots of singing (in Spanish), jumping up and down and almost-fights between fans on the train.
Anyway, whilst my friend was unusually more crazy with her shopping, I was even more unusually controlled. And because of my student discount being 20% instead of 10% in Topshop this week only, I got some things cheaper, this is what I bought:-

 MOTO Leigh Ankle Grazer Jeans - Topshop £28.80 (£36 without my discount)
 They fit really nicely and although it says they're ankle grazers, they don't really seem like that on me. They're stretchy, a bit like jeggings.

Multi Stripe Slash Arm T-shirt - Topshop £14.40 (£18 without my discount)
Bright and stripey, I love it. I'm still not sure I'll keep it though because it's not the most flattering top on me.

Large Blouse With Pockets (this is what it's called on the website not what I chose to call it). - Zara £29.99
I got it in blue and Ill probably wear it with leggings. It's perfect and thin enough for the summer.

 Chunky Metal Ring in Light Red - H&M £3.99
It looks more orange than red in real life and it comes in 3 other colours. Just a warning, it's VERY big!

What do you think?
Anybody else bought anything recently?

Summer Is Coming.

So it's official, my dad booked a summer family holiday to Turkey, which is very exciting. We're only going for a week because it's the only time we all have free but we're staying in Istanbul (city) for 3 nights and Antalya (beach) for 4 nights.
Anyway, I've been scouting for swimming costumes which probably aren't at their best right now due to it being April, but I still found some nice ones. I have 2 favorites in Bravissimo, due to me being. lets say "gifted" in the chest area. Here they are...

Bravissimo £45

Bravissimo £38

Do you approve of my choices? and which do you prefer? Does anyone have any other suggestion on where to get good swimming costumes and Kaftans?

You'll also be happy to know that I caved and ordered a new camera charger. It cost £50!!!!!! Well that'll teach me to take care of this one.
Now I'm off to boot camp (revision camp) for the next week.
Until then...
Adios!

H&M.

Yes I've been a BAD blogger! and I'm very sorry. I've be SOOO busy lately (I hate A Levels) and I haven't been very well. However, I have some exciting posts planned when I get round to then and I've decided I'm going to order a new camera charger.
Also, my sister told me about a very exciting escapade she had around the oxford charity shops the other day. She found a Karl Lagerfield *eek* coat for VERY CHEAP I am told. And she made sure to call me straight after just to rub it in a little. Me... Jealous? ...neverr!
Anyway...
I got my H&M catalogue today and I saw a lovely big bag so I took a quick look at their website and they're in NO short supply of pretty bags...

This pretty summery bag. It's only £14.99 so I say GRAB it while you can and visualise the lazy days in summer on the beach with your rather dashing canvas bag by your side. And there are four colours/patterns to choose from!

A perfect bag for the day or even for school. At £19.99 it wont break the bank. Just shove everything in it and GO GO GO!

Lastly and My personal favorite, I think it comes with a longer strap too so it can be accross the body which is very convenient. It's only £29.99!

And bags you've got your eye on at the moment?
