Boohoo Loungewear Co-ord

Jacket - Topshop

Scarf - ASOS

Co-ord - Boohoo

Adidas Stan Smith Trainers - Net-A-Porter.com

Necklace - Monica Vinader

I've been after comfy weekend clothes since I moved out so I can pop out and do my errands and be nice and comfy but also look cool and not like a slob haha. Lydia from Fashion in Flux inspired me to buy this set as she looks so bloody good in the loungewear co-ords she has.

I love the flares and the big slits up the side, they really make it for me - I think I'm going to live in this and may have to purchase it in grey too. Boohoo isn't usually somewhere I shop but I'm really impressed with this set and it was such a steal at 20 squids.

All About The Ruffles

Coat - ASOS

Shirt - MSGM (TheOutnet.com)

Jeans - River Island

Boots - Acne Studios (Net-A-Porter.com)

Necklace - Monica Vinader

Bag - Dolce & Gabbana (Net-A-Porter.com)

So as it was payday on Friday and it's the first payday since living in my new house it meant I had more money to spend than usual (yay!) as we aren't having to save so much money, so I wanted to treat myself.

I got this gorgeous MSGM pink ruffle shirt from The Outnet. It was obviously the ruffles on the back that drew me in with this (and the fact it's pink obvs!) as ruffles are so big right now and I've also been enjoying wearing shirts a lot recently so I had to have it. As always with my designer things I like to buy items that will have longevity in my wardrobe and that definitely ticks the box. 

I'd been looking at buying this Acne pink shirt from Net-A-Porter so I'm thrilled to have found this gem for half the price and with added ruffles!

Another addition to the wardrobe are these cropped flares, they were down to £12 in the River Island sale so I nabbed them after seeing them on Lurch Hound Loves blog. Cropped flares are great as they can be worn so many different ways, with ankle boots, brogues, pointy flats, trainers etc. 

Have you bought any pay day purchases yet?

What I Got For Christmas 2015

 Acne Studios Jensen Suede Boots - Net-A-Porter.com

These gorgeous boots were my main present from my lovely boyfriend. I'm a sucker for designer things especially accessories as they last a really long time and black boots are such a staple so I really wanted an expensive pair. They do these boots in leather rather than suede and in different colours but I really wanted a real suede pair. They are the perfect heel height for everyday and the silver detailing on the toe and the writing down the back of the boot really make them for me. I don't think I'll be taking them off of my feet any time soon.

Adidas Stan Smith Trainers - Net-A-Porter.com

I already own a white cracked leather pair of Stans and they are such a staple for me as they can be worn with everything and are super comfy due to this I really wanted a black pair and these velvet leopard print ones had to be mine.

 Engraved Monica Vinader Rose Gold Necklace

I've wanted a necklace that I can wear everyday for a long time now and what better than this one. The front has 'Claudia' engraved on it and the back has a pineapple so I can switch it up and wear it both ways. I'm a sucker for anything that is personalised.

H&M Dress

This gorgeous dress was a gift from my sister, she actually has it herself and bought me one as she knew I loved it. Such a shame we no longer live together and can't share wardrobes!

Rosie for Autograph PJ's - Marks & Spencer

I love the Rose H-W range for M&S my collection is really growing now. The lingerie is so gorgeous and is such a perfect fit as is the sleepwear.

 PJ's - Missguided

I'm a sucker for pyjamas and these are ridiculously cute and so comfy - Missguided PJ's for the win. (sorry about how creased they are!!)

The Carries Diaries Book - Amazon

Vogue Magazine Subscription

2016 Glitter Diary - Paperchase

Pug Socks - New Look

Babyliss Hair Wand

So happy that Luke renewed my Vogue subscription as that's something I don't have to worry about buying each month now.

If you have long hair and are after a curling wand, I'd highly recommend this one. I used it once for the first time on Christmas day and loved it. I didn't hairspray my hair as I don't like to and it lasted for days.

Soap & Glory Gift Set

Nivea Lip Care Set

Rose Jam Bath Bomb

Razzle Dazzle Bath Melt

Candy Mountain Bubble Bar

Butterbear Bath Bomb

Estee Lauder Make-Up Brush Cleanser

Una Brennan Vitamin C Gentle Daily Micro Polish Wash

The Balm Nude Tude Palette

I'm a sucker for anything from Lush so I can't wait to use these pieces in my bath! My thoughtful mumma got them for me so that I can save them for when I move out so it's less stuff I have to spend my money on.

How gorgeous is this palette? I haven't stopped wearing it since Christmas Day.

Miu Miu Perfume

I've wanted this perfume since I smelt it in Vogue magazine a few months ago so it went straight on the top of my Christmas list and thankfully my mumma got it for me.

Real Techniques Make-up Brushes

Last but not least I got new brushes yay!

What was your favourite thing you got from Christmas?

I got lots of bits for our new home for Christmas too so I've done a separate post for that so watch out for it.

Christmas Madness

Jumper - ASOS

Jeans - ASOS

Trainers - Adidas Stan Smith via Net-A-Porter.com

Bag - Marc Jacobs

Necklace - Monica Vinader

After the craziness of Christmas I am finally back to normal life (well kinda as not back to work until the 4th!) which means blog life resumes. I hope everybody had a lovely Christmas, I honestly haven't stopped eating or shopping for that matter. I finally got dressed today and braved Bluewater it was pretty crazy as I expected so opted for comfy clothes.

How amazing are my new Stans? I wear my white ones all the time and they are ridiculously comfortable so I obviously needed a black leopard print pair.

My gorgeous necklace I got from my dad and step mum for Christmas from Monica Vinader, it also has a pineapple engraved on the back as who doesn't want a pineapple on their necklace haha.

I'll be doing a post on everything that I got for Christmas and in the sales so watch out for those...
