Collective Basics Beauty & Fashion Haul!

Hello 

Thought i would share a few basic beauty bits and pieces i've picked up recently and a few fashion bits (more peplum lovin', i don't think i'll ever get over them!)

So firstly, i'm going out this weekend which was a bit of a last minute plan so i had to pop to town and pick up a few 'night out' essentials:
Tights/St Ives Scrub/Primark Lashes/Knee Highs/Self Tan Polish Sponge/St Moriz tan/Baby wipes/Hairspray

I needed most of these things for my night out, other than the knee highs which i just like to wear under jeans with dolly shoes etc! As well as the baby wipes, which i love for taking my makeup off every day! I needed a new exfoliant i and i love love st ives so i just picked it up in prep for a quick tan before the weekend!

As well as quickly popping to town to collect these bits and pieces i have also been buying clothes and clothes and more clothes recently, even though i'm sooo skint! But i thought i would show you all what i've been getting anyway. I'm still on the hunt for a perfect new faux-leather jacket but still no luck, suggestions?

Anyway, here's my fashion haul!:

Safari Jacket with Leather Sleeves - Primark £25.
I love this jacket, wanted the Zara version but it sold out and my budget wouldn't stretch that far! I switch up my jackets nearly every day anyway so this price tag made me extremely happy!



Polka-Dot Dress £11(i think!) - Primark.
The picture is making this look a little more red than it actually is as its really a sort of berry colour. Regardless, it's lovely, and i wear it a lot with my primark studded heel ankle boots and leather jacket or blazer.



Plain Black Peplum Vest - Primark £4.

Bargain basic top, fulfills my love of peplums and is easy to dress up and down! Not best quality ever, but it was under a fiver so, what is to be expected?



Charcoal Jacket - Primark £18.
Love this jacket, love the colour and the fit. Cheaper than most winter jackets currently! Can't really go wrong with a grey coloured jacket can you? The collar is nice and the hood is detachable so it's versatile and comfortable, win win!



Sequin top £9.99 - H&M.
I wish this was showing how nice this top actually is. The sequins are multi-coloured and just really lovely. Looks lovely with jeans and dresses a casual outfit up a bit!



Polka-Dot Shirt £14.99 - H&M
This again isn't showing how nice this shirt actually is! It is sort of cropped at the front and longer at the back with a dipped hem. It looks lovely on so i will feature it in a OOTD sometime so you can see how much nicer it is in person if you haven't seen it in h&m already.



Red Long Sleeve Lace Peplum £12.99 - H&M
Yes, another peplum, i know i'm obessed but, i can't stop. I have had this for a little while now but i love it, it looks great with a skirt or jeans, disco pants, leggings - anything. Can be dressed up pr down and is just generally lovely. Comes in black and white also i believe?



Floral Sheer Swing Shirt £9.99 - TKMAXX
Florals are sort of summery but i love the Autumny colours of this top and i've been wearing it with my black disco pants and a leather jacket which looks really nice. I've also been layering it with my plain black scarf and thick black cardigans so it's really versatile and just lovely!




Lace Back Peplum Dress £27.99 - New Look.
Wore this to my graduation as although the pictures don't make it obvious, this comes to just above the knee rather than my usual mini-dresses! It is textured, has side peplums and a lace panel on the back. Love it.



Peplum Top with Lace Shoulder £12 - Matalan.
Love this, it looks lovely on, the lace detail on the shoulder makes it dressy and less casual and the peplum not too accentuated. 



Peplum top £12 - Matalan.
As usual, my crap photography skills are not showing this up to be the winey purpley colour that it actually is, but, it is more wine coloured. It's more of a structured, flared peplum than the black lace on above but is really nice with jeans or disco pants! Also comes in loads of different colours worth having a look at!



And this dress i just got delivered today to wear on Saturday night and i absolutely love it!
Red Peplum Dress £18 - Matalan.com
Can't wait to wear this out, i promise i will post a picture on here of me wearing it so you can see how lovely it is on and not just hanging on a hanger!
As you can see it is a really bright red colour! I love it so much, just trying to decide what shoes i should wear with it now!
I think Matalan also do this in blue, leopard print and white so deffo check those out if you like peplum dresses!

So that's all i've really been buying lately! Once again i apologise over and over for the crappy quality of my pictures, getting good lighting is really hard as i usually blog as night and currently that is a real nightmare!

However, hope you enjoyed some bits of this post and liked some of my buys!

What are you upto this weekend?

Thursday Lust List!

Hello 
I've been eyeing up some things online these days spending money in my head as i'm poor! Regardless, i'm going to show you what i'm currently lusting after!

New Look shoe boot which you can buy here.
I adore this shoe! It's a steal at only £29.99 and although i am skint i feel as though i might have to invest in these if i find them in my local New Look. I love them!


Missguided sequin sleeve jacket - here.
Another thing which makes me wish i had a full-time job so i could have this! I love this jacket and it's probably a bit of a marmite love/hate product, but, i'm in love. I recently purchased the Primark Safari jacket with faux leather sleeves which i'm equally in love with and it was so cheap compared to other versions out there!
The Artiste Collection
MUA Artiste collection palette which you can get here. Still haven't been able to get my hands on this through my local Superdrug but i'm sure i will!
Topshop knitted patchwork jumper - here.
So cute and perfect for the winter months!
Miss Selfridge Project #3 Collection lace maxi dress which you can get here.
Couldn't want this dress more if i tried. As always when i love something from Miss Selfridge though, it's out of stock at the moment. Probably a good thing, stops me spending!
I really really want this OPI nail polish in 'The World is Not Enough' from the James Bond Skyfall collection! You can buy this here. My sister has 'Golden Eye' from the collection and it's really lovely. I may have to invest in one myself!
Topshop Aubergine Cross Stitch Hat - here.
I have seen loads of bloggers blog about this hat and i am endlessly jealous! I just cannot justify paying £14 for a hat though! I'm not really a hat wearer but i'm loving this colour and i really want one so if you have spied a cheaper similar alternative let me know where ;).
H&M fake fur collar - here.
Amazing, perfect for winter and goes with pretty much anything. Need it.

Dying to try out Maybelline's new Fit Me foundation. I've had a look online and managed to claim a free mini sample from the maybelline site, they even give you a few helping hints with colour matching which i thought was great! If there's any left head over to maybelline here and get your free sample if you want to try out this foundation too!
H&M studded bag - here.
You all know already how stud obsessed i am if you have read my previous posts so it's no surprise that this makes my lust list. They have it in this black with gold studs or light beige with silver studs and i love them both!

So that's mostly all i'm lusting after lately. 
Do you like or own any of these?
What are you currently lusting after?
