Parka and Necklace - Topshop, 'A Casual Vacancy' - Amazon,
However, there isn't much in the shops that is catching my attention at the moment; I am on the hunt for a parka as I want a slightly lighter coat, that's warmer than my leather jacket, but not as toasty as my Paddington Bear duffle coat. I've been drooling over this Topshop one for ages, but there is no way I will ever spend £95 on a parka.
I also saw this necklace on a recent shopping trip, but again couldn't justify the price tag. I rarely wear necklaces so it wasn't worth the splurge. It is absolutely stunning in person though!
My copy of A Casual Vacancy arrived in the post this morning and I thought it deserved a mention. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I am definitely excited to get stuck into it. J.K. Rowling is all kinds of fabulous, in my opinion.
The last two items are items that have received/will receive for my birthday. I turned 21 today and my sister and I bought each other watches. I chose a simple steel Fossil watch. I initially wanted the Michael Kors version, but Fossil are about half the price and just as gorgeous. Fossil apparently make Michael Kors watches too, so paying the extra £100 just for a name seemed a tad ludicrous.
My boyfriend has bought me the Nike Janoskis, after a long time of searching for a pair in my size. I love the colour way as the Nike 'swoosh' and sole are a light minty green, which paired with the grey is lovely. I don't get them until Friday, and I am so excited!

ReplyDeleteThank you! Happy Birthday in advance! haha :)! I can't wait to read it. xxx
DeleteOooh, I have had my copy of a casual vacancy for a week now and havent started reading yet, I even paid extra for next day delivery, but ended up getting stuck into the deathly hallows whilst waiting and have had to put it on the backburner. (like a fool)
ReplyDeleteHave you tried new look for a parka? I got mine there last year for £20.. looks like the topshop one and is all kinds of warm and toasty. Plus, the hood is humongous and is the only thing I have found that stops rain ruining my hair.. always a bonus is england!
I have a look on the website, but I may pop into the shop as my friend got a lovely one from there, thanks for the tip!
DeleteI'm the same, I haven't started A Casual Vacancy either due to uni work :(
