The Life Diaries: New Look Haul

On a spur of the moment, me and my mum decided to go out for a late night shopping trip. It was around 6.00pm that we decided to leave and make our way towards the shopping centre that consisted of two shops that I really wanted to have a look in. The first was New Look and the second was Outfit (which has Dorothy Perkins, Wallis, Topshop, Ms Selfridge, Burton).

When we arrived, we headed to New Look, as I was in desperate need of some tops and dresses for holiday. After looking around I found some items and finally, some jelly shoes that I have been dying to get as well! Then, I made my way to the fitting room to try on my selection, I discovered that they all fitted well and I was very happy with how they looked. Unfortunately, I was going to get this yellow top with a lace fringe at the bottom, but after looking closer, there appeared to be a stain on it, and they did not have another in my size which was a huge disappointment. But, I am hoping to have a look around and find another - without a stain, and hopefully, in my size.

So, without further ado, here is what I bought from New Look:

The first item I found were these cute flowery shorts. Immediately, these caught my eye as they were colourful, printed and baggy. I love the colours and the elasticated waist meant that they were not too tight on me. I would pair this with a yellow top (that I was going to get!), sandals or my jelly shoes, some rings and sunglasses, but not forgetting a glowing, brown tan that I plan on getting as well!

Shorts - £14.99

My next purchase was this flowery crop top with a white lace fringe. Recently, I have been loving this fringing detail at the bottom of the crop tops. As I am not a fan of showing off your entire stomach, I opted for a classy, yet on-trend option. Although this top does not portray your entire stomach it still looks elegant and the white detail adds a different dimension to the top. I will be styling this with my jelly shoes, shorts and sunglasses.

Crop Top - £12.99

As I was searching for summer dresses, I found two that I really liked the look of. The first one is this salmon pink with white flowers and a white lace belt. I really liked the pattern on this dress and the material which is silk makes it smart, so I can wear it for sixth form but also out for dinner on holiday. I would pair it with pumps for school and sandals for holiday. I would not add any accessories as the loud print speaks for itself.

Pink Dress - £14.99

My second summer dress is this baby blue with white butterfly dress. I loved this simple yet versatile summer dress as it is pretty and can be paired with anything and still look different. I would style it with sandals, a silver necklace, rings and sunglasses.

Butterfly Dress - £22.00

My next stop was the accessories section. I started looking through the jewellery and discovered these rings. I absolutely love rings and they are by far my favourite piece of jewellery. I always feel that it is best to get multiple rings in a pack as this way, you are getting your money's worth but you are able to mix and match at your own pleasure.

Rings - £7.99

Also, in the accessories department were the hair items. I don't normally bother with this bit, but I had a quick look and found these hair scrunchies. I love scrunchies and was planning on learning how to make my own, but never got round to it (maybe one day I will!), so I thought I would buy my own.

Scrunchies - £2.99 each

My final purchase was my long awaited jelly shoes that I keep on going on and on about. I could not wait any longer and I just had to get them, before all of the good ones went. I bought these plain black jelly shoes, which I thought could go with anything and everything. I might try and get another pair before I go away in a brighter colour, but I am so happy and excited to wear these!! If you own a pair of jelly shoes but don't know how to style them or want to know where to buy a pair, then check out my blog post Rise of the 90s Jelly Shoe.
