First Haul of 2015

Well now, it's been a while since we had a post like this around these parts. Last week, Scott and I traveled to Groningen, (for business) and dropped in on family in Edinburgh (for pleasure). One of the best things about being home is the fact that we can go shopping! I've made it no secret that Finland isn't exactly the fasion 'hub' of Europe. No Topshop, River Island, Miss Selfridge... need I continue? 
Here's a peek at what ended up in my shopping basket:

Miss Selfridge

Tan jacket... swoon! This thing is buttery soft, really. It was a total impulse buy; albeit not very practical for Finland but hell, I absolutely love it! Yes, I wore it yesterday in the snow and yes I lived to tell the tale.

Miss Selfridge

Fluffy - check! Pink - check! Another Miss Selfridge purchase, but one that is far more likely to keep me warm. The collar is detachable too so you can wear it as a scarf. Love a multi-tasker!

Missguided

Technically not a home purchase as I had it delivered to Finland but I thought I would include it anyway. Comfy day dress at its finest. It's currently in the sale so hurry if you fancy it. 

New Look

I bought this entirely because of the bumpy material. I'm hoping it doesn't disappoint after a few washes. Also comes in blue. 

New Look

Topshop

This slouchy cream shirt made its way home with me too; however I couldn't wait to wear it and it's now sitting in my washing basket, hence the no-photo. It fits great and is a basics must-have; although a word of warning, it wrinkles like a beeatch!

GlamGlow Supermud - M&S
MAC Lipstick - Please Me
Maybelline Color Drama Lip Pencils - Boots
Palmer's Lip Balm - Boots

As well as clothing, I managed to pick myself up a few beauty bits too. If you read my Beauty Wish List yesterday, you will see that I was keen to get my hands on GlamGlow's Supermud Mask. I tried it yesterday and I can't even tell you how impressed I am. More to come on that soon. I also picked up a MAC lippie in Please Me, two Maybelline Color Drama Lip Pencils in Minimalist and In With Coral, and a Palmer's lip balm which smells amaze but is a really annoying shape. 
Now, here's what I almost got:

River Island

I went to two River Island stores and neither of them had this in stock. It's slightly cropped but not so much so that you're going to be exposing yourself. I can't justify the delivery charge for one item so I'm hoping they still stock this when I'm home again in February. 

Dorothy Perkins

I'm currently obsessing over pointed court shoes and these are really lovely on - plus they're also a bargain! I usually wear a size 4 shoe; however these were far too big on me. The shop I spied them in had only one girl working there (or so it seemed,) she was operating the till and I couldn't be bothered queuing up to ask for a smaller size so I left them behind. Regretting my decision already!
There we have it folks. A very rambly post, but we got there in the end. Have you been buying anything interesting lately? Share your recent haul posts in the comments below.
