My First Fashion Haul of the 2016: Sales' Picks
January
is often synonym of... Sales! In the UK it starts right after
Christmas, but in France we have to wait until the beginning of the
new year to get all the good deals and discounts of the sales. I've
been shopping here and there during the past few weeks, and I have
decided to share with you some of the items that I got! I left out
some items of clothing that are only sold in France and that you
couldn't fint in other countries, but this is about all I've found.
Let's dive in!
~
Cream Cable Knit Jumper, Topshop (26€ instead of 52€): I
couldn't find a link to the Topshop website for this jumper, because
I got it from the Galeries Lafayette department store. I guess you
can find it in usual Topshop stores. It is a cropped cable knit
jumper, and I love it! It is just what I was looking for - a cream
jumper with buttons on the shoulder. This is a timeless piece, that
can be work with anything: a pair of jeans, shorts, or even with a
skirt. A winter staple!
~
White Lace Cropped Top, Mango (17.99€ instead of 35.99€): I
can never resist a pretty lace top... Lace is my favourite thing in
the world, and I fell in love with this cropped top. It has a sort of
flower pattern, and a really delicate detail on the bust area.
Obviously one has to wear something under it, but it gives a
sophisticated, somehow vintage look.
~
Brown Buckle Boots, New Look (29.99€): for years, I've
only been wearing ankle boots, because I find them easier to style
and more comfortable. I was actually looking for a pair of brown
ankle boots when I saw these ones in New Look, I found them really
pretty and decided to get them after all! It makes a nice change for
me, and don't you think this pair is super pretty? :)
~
Orange Check Scarf, New Look (5€ instead of 12.99€): I
got a new coat for Christmas (I'll probably show it to you in an OOTD
post) and I really wanted a new scarf to match. As my coat is beige,
I've decided to go for this burnt orange, red and greyish blue scarf.
I love check prints on scarves, and this one is quite different from
what I go for generally, in terms of colour. It is really long and
warm, I love it!
~
Cinders and Yog Nog Bathbombs, Lush (5.10€ instead of
10.20€): after Christmas, the Lush Christmas range goes on
sale, and that's always when I pick up some products - because after
all, bath bombs are not a necessity so paying half price for them is
always appreciable! There weren't many left though in my usual store,
so I only got Cinders (which I love, it has a great cinnamon scent)
and Yog Nog, that I've never tried before. They'll come in handy for
hot baths these days!
These
are all the things that have joined my collection in January. However
there are a few beauty picks as well, but wait until February to read
my first beauty haul of 2016! I still need to get one or two items
that I've wanted for a while, this is happening soon! ;)
Did you find good deals in the sales this winter?
Lots of love,
