Collective Winter Fashion Haul! (H&M, River Island, Monsoon, Zara, etc)

     I have collected a lottt of clothes between Christmas, going to Ireland and some gift card purchases I made when I got back. This is just a peak at what I got, as it would take entirely too long to take pictures and to post all of them. If I ever get into YouTube I will do more thorough hauls, but for now, I hope you enjoy the photos!

This is the Blue Stripe Panel Slouchy V Neck Jumper from River Island, which  has quickly become one of my new favourite sweaters. I got this while I was in Ireland, and I believe it was €46.00 (about $67.00). Definitely not the cheapest, but the material's really nice and warm. This is a high low sweater, which I always prefer to the standard style.

This long woolly cardigan was purchased at the Blarney Woollen Mills, which is also in Ireland. I received a gift certificate from my boyfriend's parents for Christmas, and I'm so glad I did as I wouldn't have thought to go to this store on my own. They actually ship worldwide and have a flat rate shipping price of $15, so go check out their website! This is an all Irish store based in Cork, and they sell some really amazing things. This gorgeous cardigan was on sale for €39.00 ($58). The quality is fantastic and the wool is surprisingly not itchy at all.

I purchased this long sleeved light sweater from Penney's, which is one of my new favourite stores price-wise in Ireland! I didn't own anything this colour, so it's really nice to have in my wardrobe now. I also love the leather trim! I believe this was €12.00 (about $18), so not a bad deal.

Onto the floral! Although none of these patterns compliment each other, I figured I'd just put them all in one photo. These are all beautiful individually. On the left is the floral blouse I got from Monsoon, which is a really nice store that is attached to Accessorize in Ireland. This blouse is so pretty, and really good quality. It was on sale for about  €35.00 ($52). The quality of the Floral Print Shirt With Pocket on the right is unfortunately not as good, but I absolutely love it. This was originally $39.90 but is now on sale for $25.99 on Zara's website. I love the Printed Stretch Trousers in the middle as well, but again I was disappointed with the quality. Zara needs to step up their game lately when it comes to quality. These were originally $25.90 but are now on sale for $15.99.

I bought this Superman Over-Sized Top because I wanted to change up my style a bit, and because it gave me some much needed courage when I put it on! Excuse the wrinkles, as I had just taken it out of the bag. This was $17.95 from H&M. Another reason I love this t-shirt is because it's more narrow at the bottom, so it doesn't just hang on you. 

Here's an Instagram of a sweatshirt that I purchased at H&M at the same time. This is again a little different for me, but it was super cozy and on sale for $7! Seeing as it was originally $39, this was a really good deal. It's loose, comfy and has little slits at the sides.

This is another (cheetah or leopard print?) sweatshirt that I got for Christmas, and I believe it was purchased at Target. It's by the brand Merona, and it's really nice quality and super soft. I can't find it on the Target website anymore, but they do have other Merona items on there, which I would recommend as a super affordable and really nicely made brand. 

This is such a cute hat! I haven't worn it yet but I definitely intend to. This koala hat was a Christmas gift, and I believe it is from Urban Outfitters. It's so cute and soft, I think I can definitely find a way to pull it off.

Last but not least, the C'est La Vie Sweatshirt from Urban Outfitters! I got this as a Christmas gift as well, but it retails for $39.00. This sweatshirt is extremely soft and cozy on the inside, and I love the floral print with the black. 

And that is all I will show you for now! I may make a separate post purely for accessories, as I did not include the majority of my new accessories in this haul. However, I will definitely not be making any more fashion purchases in the near future!

Fall Outfit of the Day!

I wish I had started these earlier in the season, because pretty soon I'm going to have to do winter OOTDs! Anyways, this is nothing exciting, just a look at what I would wear on a regular day out in the city!

Jacket: H&M Khaki Green 2012

I'll be sad to have to let this jacket go for the winter! Great colour, great fit, great length.

Scarf: H&M Leopard Print Scarf

I wear this all the time when I'm going out into the cold, and with everything! It's surprisingly warm, as it's quite large when you fold it out, so there's lots of layers.

Pants: H&M Super Skinny Super Low Jeans in Black

I wear these constantly and they are holding up great, plus they were cheap! I believe I purchased these for $24.95. H&M can definitely deliver if you're looking for a decent priced jean to wear around.on a day to day basis.

Bag: Zara Soft Bowling Bag in Black 

I usually use this as my school bag, and it's the perfect bag for the job. Not too big, but can fit anything you will possibly need. Great quality as well!

Shoes: Urban Outfitters Ecote Hidden Wedge High Top Sneaker in Taupe

These are really warm and are made of an amazing super soft suede. I'd definitely recommend these for fall, especially if you do a lot of walking or for running around campus.

Top: Topshop Light Jean Button Down Shirt 2011

I love this shirt! I have never found a jean shirt besides this one that actually cinches in at the waist. It fits me perfectly and is a great length.

HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT WEEKEND! xx

Collective Autumn Haul (Urban Outfitters, Zara, H&M, Value Village)

           Fall is definitely my favourite time to buy new clothes and accessories, mainly because I always seem to need them the most this time of year! Here is what I have picked up so far this season. Please excuse some of the wrinkles in the clothes, as a certain someone wanted to lie on my clothes as I was getting them ready! Thanks Kenya!

I would have to say that I buy the majority of my clothes from Urban Outfitters and Zara these days, but this season I've picked up items from Forever 21, the Gap, H&M and Value Village as well.

I purchased all of these items with the exception of the Animal Slipper Socks from Urban Outfitter's website. There is nothing here that I wouldn't recommend. The Sparkle & Fade Cross-Back Sweater in Burgundy is SO comfortable and warm for the fall, even with the open back. It's perfect for going to school, running errands and then snuggling up on the couch after a long day.

I LOVE these shoes! These are the Ecote Hidden Wedge High-Top Sneakers in taupe. I never thought I would want a pair of high tops, but these look amazing and are super comfortable. If you're used to constantly wearing flat shoes like I am, they can take a bit of getting used to, but your feet adjust quickly. Such a great buy and a great deal. Get them before they sell out! 

Other items featured here: BDG Cigarette High-Rise Jean in Grapeleaf, BDG Destroyed Slim Slouch Camp Jean, Deena & Ozzy Embroidered Animal iPad case.

The next few items I purchased were from Zara. I have never been unhappy with the quality of anything I've purchased at Zara. The Soft Bowling Bag in Black was the first bag I have ever bought from there, and it's working out fantastically as an everyday school bag. 

This super cute Short Sweatshirt with Zip at the Back in Print-1 is not so much for the colder days of autumn, but works well for days when the sun is out, or with a light jacket over top. 

I have 2 pairs of the Classic Skinny Jeans by Trafaluc, and they are my favourite fit out of any pants or jeans I own. They look great, are great quality and are a reasonable price. These are the burgundy ones here. Although I can't find them anywhere online, they should still be in stores. The only thing I don't like with these pants is that they tend to stretch a little too much in the waist band over time, so I always end up needing to wear a belt with them.

This Cheetah Jacquard Hoodie from the Gap is SO warm and cozy, the quality is unbelievable. When I first tried it on in store, I liked it a lot but wasn't willing to pay $70.00 for it. However, I went home that night and checked the website, and they were having a 30% off everything in their online store! I absolutely love it, and it will definitely last me a long time.

This vintage leather Cornell purse was my favourite find of the season, and cost me less than any other item! I paid $12.99 from Value Village for this purse, and it actually looks like one of the most expensive things I own. I was never a big thrift store buyer, but I have found some items that I absolutely love at Value Village that I wouldn't have been able to find anywhere else. I am absolutely in love with this bag, and it will definitely be carrying me through the fall and winter.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! xx
