Needless to say, I turned on my heels and headed over to the other shopping centres instead! I hate stressful shopping environments and I like to be able to browse at my own leisure, try on clothes and generally enjoy it. I looked at those crowds and queues and to be honest, it just wasn't worth the hassle.So off I toddled to the other side of town and it was the best idea I could have had because all the other centres were deserted so I could shop to my heart's delight with no one standing on my toes, pushing me and jabbing thier elbows into me...hurrah! Here's what I bought...
I love any kind of enclosed gladiator shoes mainly because you can get away with a really high heel and they're still comfortable! These brown leather ones complete with trendy stud detail are by Steve Madden.
Yes, I have a thing about studs at the moment, I just love embellisments of all kinds. You can never go wrong with black shoes and these eyelet and stud patent ones are also by Steve Madden.
I love how a belt can totally update an existing dress in your wardrobe and this one really caught my eye, it has an elasticated section at the back with a little clasp and it's from Warehouse.
I spotted the bag above in Warehouse and noticed it was only £20! It's metallic pewter colour with gorgeous detail. It has a heavy braided metal and fabric strap that can also be tucked inside the bag to create a clutch bag. I also got a pair of super dark straight leg jeans and a black mini lantern skirt both from Topshop but these probably wouldn't show up that well on camera. Overall I was really proud of myself as I really didn't spend that much given that most of the stuff I bought was on sale. It's not often I come back from a shopping trip WITHOUT a slight tinge of spender's guilt.
Have you bought any lovely items recently?
