Big Ass Birthday Haul | FT. All Saints & French Connection #DionneTurns22


A while ago I posted about a haul I did on my birthday weekend, however, as it was that big I have had to split it into two! There are worse problems in the world I guess..

There are two times a year when it is totally acceptable to do gigantic hauls for your wardrobe, and that is during the January sales and the Summer sales. Without going into it too much detail, as I have in my previous post that you can see here,(LINK) I'm just going to jump right in.

All Saints

AKA Heaven on Earth. This place is an absolute dream, and wait till I tell you the sale they had on. So, not only were many of the products already on sale, but there was also 50% everything in store! Oh man, so dreamy.



I ended up picking this beautiful beautiful pink trench coat. It's so lightweight, and the perfect length for a short girl like me. It makes a perfect companion to my all black outfits that I so often wear. All for the price of £51.00. I know you hate me all don't you, I'm sorry.





All Saints have one signature product that they always stock different variations of, and that is satin dresses. I managed to pick up two, the amazing, asymmetric, orange one, and this silvery grey halter neck styled. They're so unbelievably comfortable, and flattering.


I also got one more dress, this black full length number. It is long sleeved, figure hugging and has a dipped hem. If I was my 16 year old self, I would wear this to my prom. It is so beautiful and elegant.

Levi's



Can you ever have enough black blouses? No, the answer is no you bloody well can't. So for that reason, I bought another. It looks smart, and it's comfortable. A great find on my behalf, if I don't say so myself.


I picked up this long sleeve tee, it's baggy, but combined with ripped jeans and converse it's a perfect casual get up.

French Connection




I saw these boots every time I entered French Connection, and every single time I wanted to buy them but couldn't really bring myself to spend the money on something I didn't particularly need. But for £31, I couldn't say no. So comfortable, and stylish. Paired with any of my All Saints dresses I purchased, they make for my signature look: Ripped Glam.


As with the boots, these grey trousers have been on my radar for as long as I can remember. I was going to buy them at full price originally, but I am so glad I waited as I picked them up for less than £15! Yaaaas bish.


Again. This dress, I have been chasing it. I did actually buy it once, but returned it as I didn't think it was worth the money I spent, but for £19.99 I had to, so I did do.



Guysssss, I feel like proper swanky in this coat. It's long, it's navy, it's flattering and it's warm! Honestly, I channel Olivia Pope in this.



Finally, my last purchase was this orange necklace. I bought this to go with my culotte jumpsuit I wore for my birthday, which I will be doing an outfit post on so you can check that out soon.


Thanks for reading guys!

​The Story of a Fashion Victim

Image
I love fashion with all my heart. It is the one thing in life that I could talk about endlessly and never get tired learning about. It is my one true passion in life. Judge me if you want, but it's true. I'm not that interesting, but I'm a true fashionista at heart.  The Perks: Being so invested in fashion can be quite exhausting, not only on myself trying to keep up but also on my bank balance. Yikers.  So, today I wanted to break down the best and worst points of a fashion follower, because believe you me, there's many! When a new trend comes about, I love putting my own spin on it and adapting it to my wardrobe and taste. Just because something isn't your usual style, it doesn't mean you can't go for it without putting your own flair onto it.  Everyone has their own unique style. Operative word there being  unique  ​as it means no two people will ever look the same. It's fun and creative. Just because you styled one ...

Confessions of a Twenty-Something Indian Girl #1

With everything that is going on in the world right now I felt inclined to submit this post that has been sat in my drafts for about 4 years.  Unless you have been living under a rock, then you will have seen that the Black Lives Matter movement is bigger than ever right now and with that, I am seeing so many wonderful people all over my platforms sharing their own stories, all in the spirit of raising awareness and tackling racism.  Before I go any further, in fear of any of you clicking out of this without getting to the bottom. I wanted to show you this dope ass document that Nandini Mitra (@_nmtr on Twitter) compiled which has all the ways you can help support the Black Lives Matter movement from the UK. Please please read it. Link below! Practical ways to support BLM from the UK So I’m gonna do something a little out of the ordinary today, I know I normally hit you with the fashion or beauty posts but I want to delve into lifestyle a bit. The lifestyle of the rich and the...

Bedroom Makeover

Image
Okay, so I briefly touched on how I redecorated my room in my last post when I mentioned what I've been up to in quarantine, but I wanted to explain in further detail just how easy this was and exactly what I did.  I use the term redecorate lightly, because all I did was shift a few things around and buy some items off the internet to spruce the room up. But it was so easy and has done wonders.  I used to think of my room as just a place for me to sleep and get dressed, but now I find myself spending a lot more time in here and I wanted to be able to shoot content in here for my blog and Instagram.  Stupidly, I didn't take any before shots so you'll have to just take my word for it. The first thing I did was move my bed around. This was hard work and something I had put off for many years. It was so heavy due to my boxes full of clothes that are stored in the bed. But we managed to do it. This now gives me full access to the natural light from the window and ...
