The Nottingham Splurge Spree!

One of my friends from uni lives in Nottingham, so decided to pay her a visit for a couple of days! ( and to get away from work!! )

As well as a night out in Rockcity, we found the time to go round the shops! heres what i got!

Where im from there isnt much around literally about 3 chain clothes shops, the rest are charity shops or dramatically over priced crap boutiques, in which you do find some gems but hey Nottinghams LOADS BETTER :)

Anyways finally gave in to my saving money instincts and splurged a little....whoops!

first purchase was the American Apparel disco pants!! wanted them for so long and just gave up searching for a cheap alternative and just decided to go for them, I was torn between the navy, grey or black but decided to play it safe and go for the black..... especially when spending £60 (with student discount!!) on a pair of trousers! and after wearing them literally everytime i go out, well worth the £60! love them!!

This little jem cost me £1 from a little charity shop in Beeston, its made from a really odd coated material not quite sure what it is but the shirt is by Kickers. I bought it for my boyfriend as he usually moans when I dnt bring him back some thing lol :D but if he hates it I am SO having it :)

Again where I live there is no Zara, there is literally nothing so when I do go to the big cities its like heaven for me. So much so that my friend had to cut me off at the zara sale otherwise this blog would have been called the Nottingham debt spree! But anyways, I got this lovely high front low back skirt for £16 :) and the top for £8!!! Absolutely love the prints on them there so bold and summery :)

And this was another treasure I found in the River Island sale, £20 but reduced from £40 so I dont feel as ripped off but this is literaly the last thing of the day I bought. Its a floral maxi skirt, you cant see from the photo but it has splits up either side! Its so nice!! :) luckily the only size left was mine! :)

And for my biggest fashion purchase to date! Jeffery Campbell Studded Litas :')

Ever since seeing them on Tumblr, I knew I had to have them! Originally the idea was to ask for money towards them as christmas present but when we went into Office, they were the last pair, in my size and the lady gave me 20% off! it was fate! Not only that but these will get their wear especially for the price I paid! plus being the real deal they are unbelievably comfy and I mean that, I am the knid of person who would usually opt for flats but no I managed to walk around Nottingham as well as the other day I walked to and from town in my home city in them.

So if you are uming and aring about the price tag over quality just get them!! They are so worth it! my friend has the cat litas and spiked flatforms and these are really comfy as well. Dont settle for the fakes as they kill your feet! Myself and friends have bought copies of some Jeffery Campbell shoes and their just not as good. A few months ago I bought a fake of the studded night walks, omg! trying to walk in those bad boys I took a tumble about 2 times before we got into town, BEFORE THE DRINKS! so seriously go real with JCs you wont regret it!! :)

 

I LOVE THEM :)
