Autumn shopping- cranberry obsession

Gearing up for the wind and rain, my day off was spent on the high street looking for some warmer clothes and other reasons to spend. In H&M, this cranberry/ purple lace skirt caught my eye. Perfect for a night out or meal, even with tights in the winter, I just loved the detail. Then came a thin blue duster coat that was actually in the sale! A coat in the sale before winter?! My £15 bargain was going to be well used as I'd been needing something thinner just as an extra layer.

 I then went to Matalan to use up what's left of my student discount days :( so sad I know. I found a black jumpsuit for £20, that's perfect for colder nights out or when I can't be bothered to tan my legs (we all have those days). Chunky jewellery and big hair is the look I'll be attempting with this, to make it more of a statement outfit. I couldn't find it on their website though, but I'm sure I'll blog about the outfit.

Now anyone who knows me knows I am a sucker for anything cranberry coloured. I love the colour for Winter, well I love it all year really but I think I could now make a whole outfit from what I own in this colour; including heels and lipstick. You just can't say no to a bit of cranberry. Although, this shopping trip turned my favourite colour into more of a dark cranberry/ purple hue, but I'm not complaining, I love it! I walk into Dorothy Perkins and there on the shelf is this gorgeous cranberry/ purple clutch bag. I was won over when I realised it came with a strap as well, two types of bag for the price of one (£16).

Next was on the list for some heels, but that plan failed and I ended up with a bottle of Just Pink perfume and some earrings for my graduation outfit (that's tomorrow!). I love having a little bottle of Just Pink as it's my go-to handbag perfume, being a light enough scent for everyday wear and a handbag friendly size. 

After getting my nails done I wandered into boots to stock up on my ever growing nail varnish collection. After opening my manicure box the other day, I realised I have a problem and that half of them need binning. I think I'll do a blog on beauty sell by dates just to make sure no one else gets stuck with a glupey nail varnish when they really need it. Anyway, I walked over to Rimmel and picked up their 60 second nail polishes in '320 Rapid Ruby' and '500 Caramel Cupcake'. I also bought the Rimmel Nail Nurse base coat for when these acrylics come off and I have no nails left. Spending over £10 I got the Lash Accelerator Endless mascara for free! I'm going to see how it competes with the Benefit They're Real, which has been my favourite since it first came out.

 One thing that bugged me in Boots though was the fact that their 3 for 2 Christmas gift sets are already out! I was waiting forever to be served because of the queue of women buying Christmas presents THREE months early. Come on people, it's a bit early isn't it.
