A LAD INSANE

Very short outfit post for a lazy day off today...

Top; Hero & Cape | Disco Pants; Glamorous | Shoes; Matalan | Collar; New Look

You may recognise the top from the payday wishlist a few posts back. I absolutely love it. It's just the right amount of loose fitting in the right places which make it great for tucking into shorts or skirts or my current love interest, my disco pants!
I'm not really a leggings person. I pretty much live in tights. But over the last year or so from reading other blogs and seeing so many of the American Apparel Disco Pants on everyone I was intrigued. Though, not enough to spend £70 on them. Of course, dupes have been popping up everywhere and the Glamorous ones have been floating around the blogging world. I tried them and instantly fell in love. I've worn them to death already.

I've been after a collar to go over tops for a while but I've never found one I really like that doesn't cost the earth. I have a Dorothy Perkins one but it doesn't quite sit right. This cost £4.99 from New Look and it's so pretty with the lace and pearl detailing.

And my shoes... I've worn them every single day since I bought them last week. I think they were £16 (possibly £14, I can't remember but great price none the less!) and they're so comfy! The gold toe cap and heel are very unique and I think they seem more expensive than they are. Not overly keen on them being suede, especially coming up to winter, but nothing some shoe protector spray isn't going to fix! 

PAYDAY HAUL

My previous blog post was my payday wishlist and as I got paid yesterday (with a nice little bonus too!!) I went shopping today on my day off.

Skirt; Topshop | Jacket; Miss Selfridge

Sorry the last photo is so blurry!

On the previously mentioned wishlist, I had featured the skirt and the jacket. I was in town the other day and the skirt was sold out in my size so I tried the next size up but it was too big. I went home to order it online but it'd had sold out and I was gutted. Luckily, it was restocked the other day so I ordered it as soon as I realised. It fits perfectly and I'm so happy with it.

As for the jacket, I never want to take it off. It's a lovely fit. I'd definitely recommend going up a size in it though (as I think you should anyway when it comes to jackets and coats.) It's a little pricey (though I do get staff discount) but I know I'll get a lot of wear out of it and it's easily going to be able to be worn all year round. I'm looking at it as an investment, anyway!

Every payday without fail I spend too much money in Superdrug. I'm literally obsessed. Although I did quite well this time (until new Kate Moss for Rimmel lipsticks are released next week, eek!) They had a buy one get one free offer on selected Simple products, which I think is on for all this month but I'm not 100% sure. I picked up some face wipes and a new moisturiser and I also got some eye balm. My eyes look so tired all the time so i was curious. I've used it today and I've noticed the skin around my eye feels a lot smoother but I don't know if I look more awake! Probably not used it enough just yet.

The GOSH primers had £3 off and although I've still got quite a bit left I couldn't pass up that offer because I've never seen them on offer before. I really recommend this primer, though. 

I also popped into Boots and picked up the Soap & Glory Supercat eyeliner pen. I saw it on another blog this week and I was intrigued. I used to use the Rimmel felt pen liner and then I went off it so I'll have to see how this compares to my holy grail liquid liner that is Barry M.

Finally, I keep seeing people go on about the Lush lip scrubs and I never go in Lush but decided to give it a go. I got the bubblegum flavour and it smells AMAZING. I wear lipstick every single day so I probably should look after my lips as much as I try to look after my skin.

I have also just ordered the Hero & Cape Bowie tee that was featured in the wishlist. Very excited for that to arrive.

I'm going to try and post a monthly favourites blog tomorrow. Hope you all have great weekends!

PAYDAY WISHLIST #1

It's payday in 6 days (and counting!) and this month I'm due a bonus in my payslip as I got a little promotion last month so I think that means I'm entitled to treat myself.
Here's what I'm after this month...

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 

1. Been after a skirt like this for so long and I've tried so many on that just aren't right. Hopefully my local Topshop has this and hopefully it will be perfect. It will go with everything and I'd be able to wear it for work too.

2. I already have a Bowie top but this one from the new Hero & Cape collection is just beautiful.

3. I keep looking at these House of Holland tights and they're reduced on the New Look website. Meaning I'll probably end up buying them.

4. Like I need another lipstick... BUT it's only £1.50 so hardly breaking the bank...

5. This year I really want a good leather jacket and I think this Miss Selfridge one is my favourite that I've come across so far.

6. Seen so many bloggers bang on about this Topshop highlighter and it's got me very intrigued...

7. The only reason I like when it gets cold is because there is knitwear everywhere and I LOVE knitwear. This cardigan looks so cosy!

8. Scarf... gloves... Scloves? Glarf? I don't know but... AWESOME. I had to de-ice my car this morning (in September!!) and it was so frosty walking from where I park to work so this would nicely warm me up on that little journey.

What are you wanting this payday?
