Shopping in Ibiza

I recently went for a quick break in Ibiza with the family, to get a bit of sunshine in before the hardwork of uni fully kicks in! 

I bought some lovely stuff while there that I thought I would share with you! I also went out today and bought some lovely merino and lambswool jumpers that I'll post later this week for you. 

First up I stopped by Bershka Men's - the shop is lovely, small and cozy, dark and smells like hollister. They have some really lovely men's clothes, blacks, greys, leathers, knits. A good array of choices, I originally went in their to buy a jumper for Dad but ended up leaving with a lovely tee for myself as well!  


It's a blue (although looks grey on the iPads terrible camera!) which fades into a light greyish/blue colour, with a very flattering scooped V neck, and a small pocket. I bought a small for about €15 and I like pairing it with denim shorts and ankle boots in the sunshine, or skinny jeans and a big knitted cardigan in the cold. 

As always I had to buy myself a silver ring! This time I went to Ron Ibiza (www.ronibiza.com) and treated myself to a silver and copper ring with a dappled surface and smooth gold coloured bands sat around the center of it. This was €35, expensive yet good quality so I don't mind paying the extra.

I also bought some la Roche posay effaclar A.I local area spot treatment - I really like the product and it's working well with my effaclar Matt moisturiser that I bought late September. However I recently discovered that they are not a cruelty free brand and therefore will not be repurchasing either, or buying from la Roche posay again. Next time I will be looking at Philosophy and Aesop for skincare as these are cruelty free and are both brands I've been wanting to try out, Liz Earle also. 


I did buy some beautiful suede flat ankle boots while I was out there however I don't have a photo of them! They're lovely and simple, a basic boot shape with a nice slouch to them and two buckles. These were €80 and from Natura, another beautiful shop in Ibiza town. I was in desperate need as the current boots I'd been wearing had been worn to death and the sole had split on both boots - they weren't real leather so there was no point in resoling them. I was contemplating repurchasing the same boot for €30, but really rather preferred leather as they last longer and wear better. So after hunting EVERY single shoe shop in town we stumbled across these leather ones which were practically a replica of my favourite ones! Perfect. 

I also bought some sunglasses from the back streets of Ibiza town, at he base of the old town. A lovely little shop with great offers, sunglasses from €15 or 2 for €20 offers, really great styles too, they're all just rip offs of designer ones but they're a good quality, quite solidly made. I bought these Carerra copies, I loved the reflective lenses and he huge frames! 



So that's all for now! I'll try and show my new jumpers soon, I've also done a sneaky bit of sale shopping so I'll update you with those two! 

I'm also thinking of maybe doing a post on going into the final year of uni, how I've planned my time for this term etc if it might be of any use to somebody?

Speak soon,

Accessories Haul :)

Accessories Haul April 2012

Hey Guys! So I've been doing a lot of online shopping and I thought I would show you my purchases on all the accessories that I've bought, from jewellery to sunglasses.
I've been buying quite a few bits of jewellery because I sorted out my jewellery box about 2 weeks ago and got rid of about 75% of my jewellery :S  So yeah, I decided to restock :)

Enjoy!

This one I bought in the ASOS sale online - it was only £4 and the post and packaging was free :) It's a long silver necklace and I the spikes are brilliant for adding a bit of edge to my outfits. 

This one I got from Fashionology sale - I think this was around £3? It's a turquoise beaded bracelet and I LOVE turquoise stones at the moment! I'm actually still on the lookout for a really nice turquoise silver ring, but I can't find any that I really like, so if you guys know anywhere I can get one, please let me know :)

This necklace I also got in the Fashionology sale - it's a Bear tooth cast and it's silver plated. It was originally something like £40 and I got it for £4!! Bargain! But yeah, I love how different the pendant is and how edgy it is.

This necklace I got in the Urban Outfitters sale - it was reduced from £16 to £8. I've worn this necklace the most because it's so versatile :)


Again, this purse is from the Urban Outfitters sale. It was £10 I think? It was originally £22. I love how vintage looking it is though with the tan floral design! It reminds me of my granny's purse that she has :P  This purse can also fit my mobile phone in it which is good.

These cat eye sunglasses I didn't actually get online, I picked them up in Dorothy Perkins; they were only £6 :) I'm waaaay too scared to invest in a designer pair of sunglasses because I always manage to loose every pair of sunglasses I ever own... or I manage to sit on them and break them.... :S
So I hope you liked my recent purchases :) I'll be uploading another blog post soon on all the clothes/shoes I bought over the course of March and April. :)
