Unexpected shopping haul...

I didn't mean or plan to buy any of this stuff, it just sort of happened, and some of it from shops I would never normally go to or buy things from so I'm calling this the unexpected haul.

 

 

This hummingbird bag is from Next (a shop I've never bought anything for myself from except for house stuff).  I'd seen a couple of women with it when I was out and about and the hummingbird print really caught my eye.  Anyway, I spotted it on another woman on Saturday and filed it away as a "must have a look in the shops for that", then as we were passing Next I saw it in the window so we bought it.  It was actually one of two Next's we have where I live, and we were meant to be going to the other one but forgot so went to one near where our car was parked...I call that fate.  I think it'll make a great beach bag but it's a bit different to things I usually buy, it feels a bit more mature!

The flamingo bikini is from M&S, another shop that I've never bought an item of clothing from I don't think?  But I saw this in a magazine so hunted it down.  The blue bikini is by Pour Moi and I got it from ASOS, I've got it in red as well and I kind of have my eye on the purple one too.

I bought this on my lunch break  in New Look, I was actually meant to be buying tights. I love lasercut stuff and the pop of pink really did it for me.  It's also big for a clutch and feels nice and sturdy (i.e. it won't go all squishy when I'm carrying it and everything in my bag falls out).  I used my NUS discount, and I hide the chain for it inside the bag as I'm not that keen.

And finally, ASOS Lucy ballet flats in white leopard.  I've had these in every colour they've ever made so far I think, and when I saw neon leopard print with pink bows, I went for it.  if you buy them in the sale or when there's a discount code going they work out really reasonable and are way better quality than Primark etc.  The plain white ones are £7 at the minute.

So there you have it, my unexpected haul!  Shopping in M&S and Next has made me feel a bit middleaged, but hey I'm 26 in September so maybe it's time to start getting a bit more mature.
