Urban Hauls!

So as promised, I have another haul post for you guys! This time its featuring stuff from my two favourite Urban stores, Urban Outfitters and its lower priced friend Urban Planet. Now I usually get flak for shopping at Urban Planet, but really... if I can find the same thing probably made in the same factory but 20 dollars cheaper...its a no brainer.

Without further adieu, here are my new pretty items..mainly in black and white I've noticed...

Leather High Waisted Shorts - $20

These are one of the cutest shorts I've seen in a very long time. I have been on the hunt for the perfect leather shorts and these babies are them! They are a high waisted leather short, that actually covers my whole butt cheeks! Which is extremely hard to do..I had purchased some from H&M before, but they never really hit that sweet spot of totally fulfilling my leather short dreams.

They look super similar to Amy Valentines vintage shorts.

Acid Wash Boho Jacket - $15

I found this beauty while browsing the sale section. It wasn't my absolute fave since I'm not really a fan of boho looks, and the wool panelling was a touch too boho for me. Putting it on changed my perspective though. It has an amazing fit and I love the shade of the acid wash. Now if only I could find pants in this same wash!

Dark Symbols Tank - $10

I have always loved symbols and even went into studying them ( semiotics ) so when I found this shirt I kinda fell in love with it. Its definitely a striking piece to add to a wardrobe and really fun to mix and match styles with.

Nabi Polish - 2/$5

Rose, Neutral, Hot Red

Since falls around the corner (already!!!) I thought I would buy some new fall polishes in colours that I don't have already. I absolutely loveeee the neutral and red shade, and the rose colour is a nice girly dark shade as well. They go on super smooth and only really need one coat to successfully cover your nail in an even coat. They do start to wear quickly but still amazing quality for the price.

Spike Earrings - $3 / Arrow Necklace - 2/$5

These little accessories are really cute. The earrings fit super close to the ear, and look really nice in my second ear holes beside my stretched ears. Usually any earring I put in takes away from the look of my ears but these are really nice and oddly enough quite subtle. 

The necklace was really cute and there's one at my work for like a billion dollars more. I love wearing it with a really busy top since I always like having a necklace on, and it fits high enough that I can still layer longer necklaces with it.

Patent Booties - $30

THEEESEEEE. Are so cute. They are so 90s with a nice modern heel. I am so excited to pair these with my thrifted school girl skirt for a Clueless kinda look

White Lace babydoll Top - $9.99

I love this top although I have yet to find something amazing to pair it with. It has a baby doll fit and is one of those shirts that only look good with nothing underneath, although there is no bra that looks decent with it. I love the quarter sleeve and the all over lace and try to wear it pretty much everyday until I psych myself out with the nakedness underneath.

Two Toned Shift Dress - $29.99

This is is what I call the perfect everyday flapper dress. It has such a 1930's vibe going on with its super simple cut and faux two piece look.  It is extremely shapeless which I love, and makes my curvier shape look elegantly boyish. I have been searching for something like this for a very long time, and I'm so glad I found this piece for such a great price.

Jail Bird Dress - $29.99

Another dress I have fallen in love with. It has a great shape and fit, which you can see in my last outfitting post. It makes me feel really girly since the bottom has some layers and cakes out in an oh so flattering way. I love pairing this dress with my Docs or Cut out creepers.

Cut Out Leather Ankle Boots - $79 

Speaking of cut outs, I am loving these boots! I almost bought them online but ended up waiting, and found them in store! They are super comfortable and look great with thigh high socks, or any socks in general. The heel is not too high and the leather detailing makes my ankles look less like popsicle sticks.

If you noticed, I didn't put which Urban I bought these at. Although, you can probably tell by the prices, I give you the challenge of guessing which store these great pieces came from! If you really want to know, leave me a message and ill tell you which items are from which...(party pooper)

Which are your favourite items? Do you shop at lower priced stores? 

Stay tuned for a new outfitting post featuring my new shirt from coco-fashion.com!  

[Outfitting] - Blissed Out

This is my second attempt at taking some fashion photos. Totally better then my first round in my opinion, but still not where I want my photos to be.. but I'm getting there! I definitely need some better lighting and maybe a better camera / to learn how to use mine better. I would say this lighting is a bit better though and so is my editing.

Top - Detox

Shorts - Urban Outfitters

Shoes - Urban Planet

Lipstick - Top Shop

Sunnies - Market

These are pretty much my first pair of urban renewal shorts and I am completely in love with them, even though all of my friends have told me I should have just thrifted and made them myself. That will be an upcoming project, if it ever gets warm again :(. I love the marbled effect and all the super shredded-ness going on. It gives off such an effortless chick rock look. It took about an hour to find the perfect pair of shorts though, since they are all literally cut up jeans with different fits and different quality denim. I'm glad I stayed and searched!

I paired the shorts with my super old "rocker" print tank from detox and my favourite dupe shoes, my 20 dollar spiked faux suede Lita's.  

I almost cant wait till fall so I can wear these shorts with some cute tights and thigh high socks! <3

Have you ever tried the renewal shorts from Urban Outfitters? 

Birthday Haul...and some other bits and bobs

A week late, but hey.. Ive been working and doing grown up things ok. BUT I finally have the first half of my birthday haul! I say first half because I'm sure I'm going to use the rest of my birthday money to buy a lot more things I don't need, so without further adieu....

the neatest pile you will ever see in my room. 

First up, ill start with my gifts;

As a beauty card holder at Sephora, every year for my birthday i get a different gift. Last year i got the sugar lip tint and lip balm. This years is the beauty duo from Benefit, their amazing mascara and champagne sheer highlighter.

These are all little gifts my friends got me. A sweet gold stud bracelet, black tunnels as well as another pair of silver and jeweled tunnels. My ears are stretched to a 0 so these are some of my new ear candy!

Do you guys remember making those thread bracelets on the bus coming home from school in the 90s? My friends do and they bought me a bunch of em! (This is only half..)

Now for things I bought on behalf of me being old!

Starting off with items from H&M

These pants were in the sale section. The blue wash jeans were 15 bucks and the grey acid wash was 12. I love going and getting amazing deals like these!

This skirt is another really cute item that was on for 19.95. It is full stretch and has a zipper up the back but its super short. My legs are a little too long to wear this successfully without any mishaps...although there will be an outfit post with it soon :D STAY TUNED FO DAT.

Only the tights in this picture are from H&M. A 4 pack for 6.95...cant go wrong with that!

I also bought some vitamin E oil which was on sale (yay sale)

I have been eyeing this purse for weeks now, and finally treated myself to it. It comes in black and this white, and they both have the gold spikes on the bottom. I was so torn between the black and white, but I love that the white has the statement black piping around it.

The last item from H&M is this super gorgeous light weight cardi. It was only 14.95 and features a sweet geo star print. As light weight as it is, its still way too hot to wear out in this disgusting heat were having.

Now onto Zara, which is currently having a HUGE summer sale, although only a few things caught my eyes...and those things are...

This striped tulip kind of striped skirt. It has pockets and is a nice length although I did buy a size or two too big. I bought a medium, but if I want to wear it at my waist I just fold it over and put a bobby pin in the side to hold it together. I do like it big though since it will give me a great item to look forward to outfitting in the fall. Also this skirt was 19.99

Next up are these beauties! 

I absolutely loveeee these boots. They were just there waiting for me. All alone. My size. Destiny. 

At 29.99 i had to pick them up and I literally hugged them to my chest and didn't put them down or take them out of my site the entire time! I have seen other bloggers wearing these a while ago, but I'm sure they didn't get them for the steal price I got them for!

And last, but not least my purchases from Urban Planet. 

I am absolutely in love with this skirt. I have been looking for a black faux leather mini for such a long time, that I nearly gave up until I saw this beaut. I love the cut of it and that it has the zipper pockets, although its quite small....even though its a size large. It was only 17 bucks though, so that's not bad at all.

Another thing I obsessed over was this galaxy print crop tee that I bought for 10 bucks. Its getting a little lost in my quilt but the colours are mainly purple, pink and orange and there are moons, starts and planets through out the whole thing. Anyone that knows me knows how much  love astrology and this top makes me feel so good when I wear it.

And that is it for my haul... for now
