Here are some snaps of my recent buys from when I went to Lakeside at the weekend. Got the Topshop Allegra boots as well as some other bits. The dress is so lovely, with a massive heart shape cut-out on the back. Sizing was a bit weird though! Also thinking about taking the skirt back since I could dye a grey one I have, plus I just got a faux leather one in the post for a bargainous £5 on eBay (post soon!). The hat and bag are from Primark, £2 and £8 respectively. So cute! Lastly the necklaces are from Miss Selfridge, I've been looking for them for a while and just so happened to find the last two on the display! I got to the till and they were £1 each rather than £3 like the tags suggested, sweet! Finished the day off with a trip to Taco Bell, the quesadilla was SO good!
Also need your help with a little something please, I recently won Lauren's competition for a dress by LOVE, and I can't quite decide which one to get! I've managed to narrow it down to these two:
Let me know what you think in the comments, am off to the cinema to see Captain America now! Hope everyone managed to survive today's heat! Enjoying the sun before tomorrow's forecast rain..




Wooo I love Taco Bell at Lakeside! Was so happy when they opened one there haha. Great haul. Love the Topshop boots. I think you should go for the first dress, the berry coloured one. So beautiful x
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, love the skirt, actually! I really, REALLY need a black skirt that isn't a bodycon one - I've tried looking on ebay but they've all got buttons or unnecessary details on them.
ReplyDeleteAlso coveting the necklaces and your amazing Allegra boots. Jealous! Wish I had some money to burn.

I adore those boots! I want them too x
ReplyDeleteI would love a skirt like that! Been trying to find one for ages which isn't overpriced :( xxx
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore the dress on the right. It's pattern screams fall to me, and I am yearning to convert my summer dresses to fall with some leggins and boots. The Taco bells in the U.S don't have fries, so it was really weird seeing them there. I am a late night taco bell addict. :) Have fun at the movies!

Love that spotty dress, its beautiful! Out of the two dresses I think i prefer the berry coloured one! x
ReplyDeleteI have those necklaces! Got them for £1 too after eyeing them for ages. Aren't they great? Also, I'd choose the patterned dress :)

ReplyDeleteI think you should get the dress on the left :) x
Both dresses are gorgeous, but I prefer the second one... it looks more unique in comparison to the first :)
ReplyDeleteI think you should choose the dress on the right, it's a gorgeous pattern! Great buys, especially the Topshop Allegra boots xx
ReplyDeleteThe berry dress gets a thumbs up from me.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is Primark?!? I need to make a trip!

I love all of the things you bought and the pattern on the bag is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI also didn't know Taco Bell was available in the UK; I'd love to try it.
As for the dress, go with the 2nd one,it's more casual imo whereas the 1st one as beautiful as it is, seems more formal xo
I think the first dress is more you, it would look amazing :) great buys and Taco Bell - yummmmmmmy x
ReplyDeleteyou should get the burnt out feather one! its so...different i guess, hehe!
ReplyDeletei love the dress and shoes from topshop! and the claw necklace is amazing!

Absolutely loving the haul :) esp loving the bag from Primark will definitely need to keep my eyes open for that.
ReplyDeleteI would say the AUBERGINE SLEEVELESS DRESS it would suit you so much, i could totally see you in that. x
Aubergine sleeveless, definitely!
ReplyDeleteYou got me huge tacos cravings as well, thanks very much for that:) x
Aubergine one! You would look so lovely - it has the perfect shape for you! :) X

Such fab dresses to choose from, everyone is going to prefer a different one, i think you have to decide which one suits you and your skin tone best, thats what id do anyway, ps the one on the left is very Victoria Beckham!! xx
ReplyDeleteSo many nice things! I love that bag and the bargainous necklaces! I think you should get the feather dress.
ReplyDeleteOh my! It has to be the feather dress! Its stunning! The other one you could probably pick up a similar design in Topshop or River Island. x
ReplyDeleteLOve the Topshop boots and the Primark bag!
ReplyDeleteBoth of the dresses are beautiful but I prefer the aubergine one!

I'm in love with those necklaces!!
ReplyDeleteHmm, both dresses are gorgeous. The red one will definitely suit your skin colouring, but the second one is so different, you won't see many, if any, people wearing it. They're both gorgeous xx
Sirens and Bells
Oooo you've made me really want to go shopping! Sounds so good right now! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win! I prefer the dress on the left - such a gorgeous colour x x

Deffo the first dress, colour is lovely and great for a/w. Those boots are divine!! WANT. xxx
ReplyDeleteThe dresses are both nice, but the feather one is more unique and different!

Love the allegra boots! Also I'd pick the burnt out feather print dress, the first one is a wee bit common that you could buy it in most shops just now (so if you change your mind you can always buy one similiar ;) ) but the feather print one is a wee bit different and gorgeous colours and I'm going to try find it to buy for myself :) x
ReplyDeleteFeather Dress. Much more interesting to look at :)!
ReplyDeletethis lasts dresses are incredible, i really love it!
ReplyDeletexx
Love the Aubergine dress

Beautiful haul! I really wanted a pair of Allegra boots but pondered too much and ended up missing out. Topshop also did some Acne Pistol style boots too and (yet again) I pondered too long. Hopefully they'll get some back in stock!
ReplyDeleteThese are both beautiful dresses! :) Not going to make a suggestion because I don't want to sway your decision, but when you have decided drop me an email and I'll get it all sorted for you. Congrats, again! xx
I need the allegra boots in my life so bad!
ReplyDeleteI never knew you could get taco bell in england- excitingggg!!
I like the feather dress best- it's more unusual!
http://youmehello.blogspot.com
oh god, taco bell, yum!
ReplyDeletecongrats on winning the contest! go for the second dress, it's amazing.
m.
I've always been intrigued by taco bell, looks good!
ReplyDeletelove those boots! They're perfect casual heel, I hate feeling over dressed wearing heals with a casual outfit.
The aubergine dress! It's gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteI can see you in that!

Haha oww babe I knew you'd get everything in the end ;) I still haven't been to Taco Bell, must whack that on my to-do list. Think I'm leaning towards the feather print dress now btw, would look cute with boots and a snood in the AW, or sandals in da summer! xxxx
ReplyDeleteAmazing new stuff! love the shoes!
ReplyDelete♥ The Niknok Style
I love those boots! And I think I like the Aubergine dress best. It's such a pretty color.
ReplyDeleteThose claw necklaces look amazing - and I need to go to Lakeside JUST so I can go to Taco Bell! I loved eating it so much while I was in California...
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore those Allegra boots, are they comfy? I'm such a pain for heels, when I wear them, they usually come off after an hour.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely go for the dress with the feathers on, it's got more of a statement, the other one is just a bit plain.
Where's the bird box from? Is it a jewellery box?
Beth. X
That bag is amazing ! I love the boots and the berry dress best ! xx
ReplyDeleteThat bag is to DIE for! And it's only £8! :)
ReplyDeleteGo for the feather patterened dress. It'll look lovely on you and it's more outrageous.
Natalie x
love the boots and also the necklaces, mmm that food looks yummy. both dresses are lovely but i would go for the aubergine one xo
ReplyDeletestilettosandcigarettes
I'd go for the feathery dress it's really different but still absolutely gorgeous and classic.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd been waiting around for payday to purchase those lovely Allegra boots and when LLYMLRS blogged about them, my size sold out! Utterly devastated.
ReplyDeleteI say the feather print dress is the one to go for! xo
omg that bag is to die for. I was recently in primark but I never saw it in the newcastle store. hmm.. me thinks I need to go back and have a snoop! :)
ReplyDeleteNice bag... Can't believe I haven't seen it!! And eeep two lovely dresses. I'd go for the first one. I saw Captain America last night and enjoyed it...!
ReplyDeletethe aubergine dress is so so so nice - such a gorgeous colour!xxxo

Allegra boots! Jealous doesn't even cover it. ;) Ummm, I love both dresses but I'd say the first one is probably my favourite - love burgundy/aubergine at the moment! x
ReplyDeleteI love succesful shopping trips like that :) and i like the feather dress the best, the aubergine dress is really nice, but similar to many where as the feather dress is unusual and beautiful xx
ReplyDeleteLove those suede brogues! I've got the mint version of the aubergine dress and I absolutely love it so I vote that one! x
ReplyDeleteI love the dark red dress. Have you chosen the one you want yet? x

I adore the first dress, the berry coloured one - it's beautiful and I can already imagine it suiting you :) xxx
