Summer Haul

As Summer is now over (sob) with people returning back to school I decided that I should share with you all that I bought in the duration of the summer holidays!

Don't you dare judge...

As someone who simply cannot help themselves when it comes to music I had to get new music, and I'm one of those people who happens to love physical copies.
The albums bought (from left to right) are:

• Riot - Paramore
• Save Rock and Roll - Fall Out boy
• Feel - Sleeping With Sirens
• From Death to Destiny - Asking Alexandria
• Paramore - Paramore
• Sempiternal - Bring Me The Horizon

I don't even know what half of these are for...

On the make-up front I have acquired a whole array of new brushes and cosmetics.

I bought make-up that I needed as oppose to what I wanted. I currently still don't have duplicates which I think is wise. What I bought is now what I usually wear. This way I'm not spending money on something I don't use!
In the collection:

• Studded compact mirror - Forever 21
• Lip Balm - Carmex
• Liquid Eye Liner - Misslyn
• Coal Eye Liner - Misslyn
• Lipsstick - Boujour
• Eye shadow pallette - W7
• Fanned Mascara

As I mentioned in my pervious post, if you are in need of a fashionable recreational activity brushing up on certain fashion houses or fashion aspect in the form of a book can never go amiss. Some light reading (but do not be fooled, under no damn circumstance are any of these books LIGHT!)

•  Fashion Icons - Leen Demeester
• 100 Ideas that Changed Fashion - Harriet Wosley
• Chanel Collections and Creations - Daniele Bott

These I purchased from New Look on my last shopping trip with the fabulous Georgia (her blog is here!). I bought these because:
 1. I need to be taller the my younger brother who is almost my height despite that fact the he is four years my junior.
2. I have really wanted a pair of ankle boots for sometime now.
3. I needed shoes with a thicker heel.
Lucky for me these fitted all the requirements and me perfectly. So I made them mine.

I'm aware this isn't 100% related bUT HOW COULD I NOT?!

My new school shoes, oh aren't they pretty, from New Look and for once in my life not from CLARKS! (No offense to Clarks or anything tho...). They have a thick sole and a the comfiest school shoes I've had in a while. They all so look really cool so it's win, win. The cherry on the cake I must say tho is that they are within the school regulations, this basically means that I can get away with it!

A fake pearl necklace for all my looking-proper-fabulous needs as well as for covering up some of the awful necklines on t-shirts like I mentioned before here! Purchased from a shop in Antwerp who's name escapes me at this current moment, all I recall is that it was cheap, but it does the trick so I don't care.

A new purse (larger than my pervious one) because I need somewhere to keep all my money of course! (Again that's a joke, I'm broke as hell...)

A handy little dictionary for any budding fashionista who wishes to work in any area of the business. It contains simple and concise definitions of various garments, stitches etc. as well as containing some pretty illustrations which just make the book better. (C'mon, who doesn't like pretty pictures?!)

I bought this hairband from River Island on the basis that, number one, it looked cool and, number 2, these are  the same ones as those worn by Taylor Swift in her music video for "22".

See! The same.

My personal favourite thing I have bought this summer, or rather ever, is this fabulous spiky bra which I found and Munich and bought AS A JOKE, mind you, to cheer up a friend after a rather unfortunate mishap. Also this bra is all over tumblr and something I'd seen before and said that I found pretty awesome.

What was your favourite thing that you bought over the summer? Comment below!
