Big Ass Birthday Haul | Beauty and the Basics #DionneTurns22
OMG. So, for the weekend of my birthday I did the hugest haul. We went over to Cheshire Oaks, and of course this was the perfect time to go as the January sales are coming to an end, meaning prices are at an all time low, and as nobody has any money after Christmas, they wont be heading to the shops mid Jan!
For those of you that
don't know, Cheshire Oaks is a designer outlet in the UK that
features some of my all time favourite brands, including All Saints,
Diesel and The Kooples.
To start of with, I
went into a shop that I have never bought clothing from before and
that was M&S. My mom dragged me in there, completely against my
will, but my days, I went wild. Everything in there was being sold
for virtually £5, I could not miss out on this opportunity,
especially to stock up for work clothes. I ended purchasing a lot of
items that are considered as basics, as they're plain, versatile and
timeless.
M&S
I found this beautiful,
bronze, overlay dress at an absolute steal of £5. I didn't buy it
for any occasion in particular, but you never know when you might get
a last minute invite to dinner or a party. So, it's one of those
dresses to keep in my wardrobe for when a time like that arises. It's
super classy, and I do think I will be able to wear over the next few
years without it becoming dated, providing I don't pile on any
pounds.
I was on the look out
for smart trousers, for work and for best. As I get older, my style
is growing with me. Don't get me wrong, I love my trainers and
hoodies, but I also love a smart look with pointed stilettos and
classic white shirts, so I am working on finding the perfect balance
between those. I managed to find three pairs whilst on my hunt, an
amazing wide leg beige pair, a blue pinstriped pair and black cropped
drawstring trousers.
I then got myself a set
of jammies, my favourite thing to buy actually. It wasn't a matching
set, but this sweatshirt and shorts went well enough so I picked
those up. But, my bargain of the day that I was most excited about
was this satin robe. I feel like I belong in the VS Fashion Show when
I wear it, it was £5!! For just £5, I was made to feel like a super
star lol.
The Cosmetics Store
How could I go on a huge shopping haul and not pick up any make up? Well, obviously I cannot. Normally when I go into this shop I don't end up buying anything. It's overcrowded, and small and normally the make up in there isn't that good. However, this weekend they were great! I managed to get myself a Mac foundation in colour NW20, a prep and prime highlighter in colour Light Boost and a Mac lip liner in the sought after Etcetera.
I was going to do this
as one huge post, but there is just no way I can include it all
without you guys getting bored. Stay tuned, as over the next few days
I will be posting what else I got including pieces from All Saints
and Levis!
Have you
ever been to Cheshire Oaks?
