April wishes fulfilled!

Hey!
This is my outfit from yesterday - my Mum and I shopped for 7 hours straight! We headed out to Livingston where there's a designer outlet (mostly crap shops with towels and sheets and *shudder* a Logo outlet) where highlights included a beautiful velvet Armani dress with bow, Miu Miu bags for a little over £200 as well as Luella bags at very decent prices! I didn't expect there to be any Luella (honestly came close to a heart attack!) and bought a Luella cardigan I posted about way back in April! It actually was the only thing I bought that day, which is pretty shocking but I really dislike sale shopping! We then headed to the big shops in town, Jenners (which is known as "Harrods of the North" but has recently been taken over by House of Fraser) and also Harvey Nichols, where I saw lots of amazing things and my Mum foolishly encouraged me to try things on - I declined as there was too great a risk of falling deeply, madly in love. That, and the extra 100 stone I gained over Christmas!

I wore my new boots which were comfy at the start of the day but not so much after a lot of walking! The socks are from New Look and the Topshop dress (which now has a broken strap, argh!) which you've all seen before! The cardigan was a gift from family in Australia and the pearls are thrifted and ebayed!

Dude, you don't look like you gained an ounce!
I wish I could shop with you, haha..you always get great stuff.
And the boy toy,
well it's a recent thing. He's my ex from like, two years ago, but we're back in touch (err...haha) and having some fun. I doubt I'll wind up in a relationship though, I'm kind of commitment phobic!

God, the sale shopping is quite a stress!! Lovely outfit, the boots are so sweet! I need to see an outfit with the Luella cardi!!!! Theres a designer outlet village near me, they have a Luella store, I've been planning on going for sometime, are the prices quite reasonable then?

Pretty black dresss! A strap should be easy enough to fix.

I don't think I could ever shop 7 hours straight! That's amazing... I think I can only last about 3 hours - I get tired easily!

Happy New Year!
