Zara Spree

I have an issue with spending money at the moment - I'm spending like it's nothing. I've bought so much clothes lately that I don't even have the chance to wear them! I just wear gym clothes pretty much everyday even in work. I only go into work 2 days a week wearing normal clothes! I need to stop as I'm getting a car & go on holiday soon so need to save.

It was the student event yesterday in Liverpool - Zara was surprisingly doing 20% off everything from 4-8pm. They never do offers like that! I walked in after work around half 4 & the queue for the till was to the entrance. The tills are right at the back of the shop! It was crazy it was as if the clothes were free!

I wanted a coat so I though I'd have a look around to see what they had to make the most of the discount. I've finally bought a short coat, leather pants & a kids dress. I'd already bought a dress online the other day & a black pair of skinny jeans last week.



Been after a waterproof short coat for so long & finally found one I like! I wish it was a little longer but it'll do.



Wanted these pants last year but just never got round to buying them.



I don't look as cute as this girl in this dress but it's nice & has pockets.



I didn't get discount on this dress I'd already bought it online & they didn't have my size in store to buy it again. It also has pockets but the stripes on the shoulders are velvet :(

I also bought a pair of black skinny jeans from Levi's in Cheshire Oaks at the weekend. They were only £10 in the sale but they're so long! I'm sure their jeans are made for people who are 6ft tall! Levi's do free tailoring in the normal stores so I'm waiting to pick them up next week after a good 3 inches off them.

I've banned myself from buying any more clothes especially from Zara as it's getting a bit out of hand now. I don't have endless money which I seem to think I have at the moment!

Lucha Libre

So Danielle is finally back from Dubai after 6 weeks & Kelly came home for the weekend as she has a reading week. I think the last time I seen Danielle was my surprise 21st party in Kelly's back in August which was over 2 months ago! I didn't get to see her before she went to Morocco to volunteer with Kelly or after it as she was only back for a day or two then was off to Dubai. I also haven't seen Kelly or Hannah since we went to Almost Famous which was well over a month ago before they both started uni. 

We went for lunch yesterday at Lucha Libre which is Mexican street food.




Mango Juice - £4.50


Kelly & Danielle got the Street Food Tray to share - £19.95
3x Pilbil Tacos, 2x Chicken Tostadas, 1x Maria Sabina Quesadilla & 1x Chorizo & Potato Quesadilla


Hannah got the Chargrilled Chicken Quesadilla - £4.50


I got Pibil Tacos - £4.75

Didn't realise how small they'd be... Ate them in like a minute! 



I went the toilet & left my phone on the table...






I've only ever been to Lucha Libre once with Holly when we had the lunch deal & had the super hot tortilla soup which we couldn't handle.. The portions are tiny & could definitely do with more. I thought mine was going to be bigger didn't realise the taco was gonna be a mouthful size! Definitely would have had to order more if it was dinner. I also wished I got the quesadilla instead... But I wasn't sure as I'm not a fan of cheese I only eat it on pizza or like lasagne. I would never had a cheese sandwich or toastie. Danielle, Kelly & Hannah if you read this yes I am still annoyed I ended up giving a £2 tip as I was meant to get £3 change for my meal. Danielle gave me £1 & said take £2 out from the pot but I didn't hear her & the guy came over to take the money she said keep the change... I'd never leave that much tip ever!

After we went to Starbucks for a bit. They all got festive drinks as they're doing 2 for 1 on festive drinks between the afternoon everyday or something. I'm not too sure but you can Google it yourself. I didn't get anything as the festive range is latte's & hot chocolate which I don't like.

I stole photos that Kelly posted on her snap story. If you haven't seen already the John Lewis Christmas came out yesterday with Monty the penguin that everyone is now in love with & if you want one yourself, you'll be kinda glad it's actually sold out as it's £95!! That is one expensive penguin! But if you have no idea what I'm on about you can watch the ad here. The John Lewis Christmas ad has turned into a big thing now just like that infamous Coca Cola holidays are coming ad. I still think it's too early for Christmas even though it's cold enough for it, I don't get into till December even though later on when we left town they had a lantern parade to celebrate the opening of the ice festival up on Chavasse park for the ice rink & ice bar.

Christmas has come early!

So I kinda spoilt myself this week & did a bit of internet shopping... On Tuesday I bought myself a real leather jacket from New Look then on Wednesday I bought myself a pair of Timberland boots finally!!!

The Timberland boots well... I did a price match off John Lewis last month when Footlocker were still selling the classic junior boots for £69.99, I then had 28 days to buy the boots before I would have to resubmit a new price match. I left it pretty last minute to purchase the boots, only last week was I planning on getting them. However Footlocker have now changed their price up to £90 to match everywhere else which meant if I didn't get them I couldn't resubmit the price match. So just my luck when I decided I was going to buy them they didn't have my size!! So I was stressing, checking the site everyday & had to ring customer services to see if I could buy the boots in store however the price match they had agree with me was online only. The girl on the phone said they were going to get more stock in my size on Monday but I sent them an email to check this but they said they don't know when they were going to get more in. 

I then checked on Wednesday night which was the last day for my price match & I couldn't believe it they had ONE size 6 in stock online!! I was like what?? Really?? Is this a joke/dream what's going on?? I'd been checking it all day & there was nothing but around 9pm there was just ONE pair so I managed to bag myself a pair of Timberlands after over 10 years of lusting over them! (It really has been that long as they were "in fashion" when I was in primary school. I'm now 21... My mum wouldn't buy me a pair as compared to now they were cheap but were expensive for kids shoes.)

I've been eagerly waiting for my stuff & wasn't expecting them to turn up together. I was checking the trackers & both of them were received at Hermes hub at the same time which meant it really would feel like Christmas/my birthday but better! The courier was received at 8:56am which meant I was definitely due to receive it some time yesterday. I know they state you can receive things until 8/9pm but I always get them either in the morning or afternoon so when I'd left for the gym at half 5 I wasn't expecting them to come. Just as I got to the front door from the gym at half 7 I got an email to say my stuff had arrived! They were delivered at 7:20pm. I couldn't wait to open them, I was stinking of sweat but the shower could wait!






This is my comfy lounging around the house look as I'd been the gym this morning!






I got it in a size 10 as that was the smallest size they had online. It's a bit big & the sleeves are long but I think they're meant to be. I do love the style but I'm not too sure whether I actually like it that much as it doesn't have any pockets which is really annoying & such an inconvenience! It has a unusual lining as well. But I do love the zip detailing.

I'm going to sell it for £85. I bought it for £100, if you're interested please email me 
wing27@hotmail.co.uk
As you can see I've only tried it on but I still have all the tags on since I only got it last night.

Zara AW14 Wishlist

So it seems this is the end of summer for England sadly! It was so much nicer this time last year as me & Danielle were sweating it out at Sefton Park for the first Liverpool International Music Festival. I was hoping to go again today to see Foxes, Lemar, DJ Fresh & many more but standing in the rain in a muddy park definitely not for me.

The Autumn Winter Zara collection has appeared online & these are the pieces I wish I could own but lets face it I probably won't end up with any of them but I can dream.
The store in town still isn't open, it probably will be in time to stock the AW collection I think though.

Obsessed with the chain detailing on these boots!!



Pricey since it's not leather



So are these!



Love the style of these



Cheap!





What I was after for graduation but not open toe

Love this bag so much :(





Like how many compartments it has but not keen at how wide it is


Shopper with Cutouts and Compartments £49.99

Pricey for not leather again!



Same with this one!

Coats


I could do with a new winter coat, Zara definitely have the nicest style on the high street but not particularly affordable high street prices sadly!







So expensive!! Really want it :(



Not a coat more of an expensive poncho?



Some sort of joke or typo?? £129?! I mean it's nice but not THAT nice!



Need to invest in a fur coat/fur gillet



Love the pattern but really do not like the tassels at all!

So in love with this skirt I want it so much! If it was £25 maybe £30 I would buy it but for £40 it's a bit pricey! I've tried it on to see whether it was nice or not hoping that maybe it wasn't so then I wouldn't want it but it was a bad idea because I love it even more!! It's €39.95 on the Spain website which still makes if £31.80 :(
