ASOS Delivery - My Calvins and Faux Fur

Hello lovelies!

I have purchased a few lovely items recently and so there will be a number of reviews on there way. This is the first one which is about two things I got off ASOS.

I love ASOS as they carry a huge variety of brands, their own brand is one of my favourites and they have a discount for students. Being subject to an online shopping addiction, I always keep an eye out on the site as everyday they upload a ton of new items.

The first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful faux fur clutch bag which is pictured below. Prior to this purchase I hadn't owned a clutch and it was becoming a pain having to either pay to put my bag in a club cloakroom and pack as much into pockets as I could or carrying a big bulky bag all night. It's really not ideal either way so was on the look out for one anyway.

The faux fur was another big yes for me as that along with leather are my go to textures. This winter I've wore a lot of faux fur and have a new jacket for summer (I'll review soon) with a faux fur collar. It's chic, sophisticated and makes any outfit look more expensive. This is a beautiful colour as browns go with everything and it means you can team a colourful outfit with it also.

It's much larger than I thought it was but I prefer that as I like to carry a good amount with me and big accessories are a must if your like me and are simplistic with jewellery

Cost-wise, £30 (without discount) is not a huge ask considering it is big, the faux fur quality is very impressive and most bags and clutches cost no less than this on the high street.

The other item I bought along with the bag is this perfect Calvin Klein Bralette. I've been trying to get this for months however it was constantly out of stock and so when I randomly checked at 2am one morning it was straight in my bag when I saw my size in stock. 

I needed a really comfortably bra for uni as a wired bra is just not ideal for everyday but non-padded, non-wired ones show my nipple piercing. So, knowing Calvin Klein are great quality-wise I figured I'd give it a go. 

I got a size 8 which fit perfectly on me, I am small chested but am broad so sizing is difficult with items like this but ASOS kindly provides exact measurements which helps a lot.

In terms of aesthetic the bra is minimalist and monochrome - two words that never disappoint. The banding underneath with the designer name is gorgeous as well and I think just makes the item. It's almost guy inspired underwear which I kind of love!

It also covers my piercing enough that I can wear this underneath a top and not need to worry about it being noticeable which is exactly what I wanted so for £28 (before discount) its a steal. It's super comfortable and most bras nowadays are £20ish so a bit extra for a designer item is not a stretch.

H&M trend - Fringing

Hello again!

So I recently went into H&M with my gran, which really challenged my opinion on the shop. In Edinburgh, on Princes Street there at two H&M stores. The smaller of the two was always cluttered, dirty and full of old, cheap looking stock while the larger one was mostly full of basic items, e.g. plain white vest tops. So after being disappointed with the actual stores I had access to I tried the website which was much better, I ordered boots but they took 2 months to come and so that turned out a waste of time also.
Recently both H&M have been renovated and look absolutely brilliant so after a look with my gran I bought a gorgeous new back (see below).

I have been looking everywhere for a decent sized fringe back but even for smaller clutch bags Topshop and stores like, were charging £40 and over! For an everyday bag I wasn't prepared to pay that and gave up. However, I saw the one below while looking in the store and couldn't resist. It's something different and the store refers to it as a bucket bag. I currently have a rectangle shaped bag which I love but is bulky for everyday whereas this one is easy to carry when I'm on and off buses at peak times. It's black and gold, two colours which make the bag look more expensive and goes with pretty much every outfit. The fringing is my favourite part though as it's long and covers the majority of the bag making it quite a statement piece. In winter, at uni, it's difficult to have outfits that are interesting everyday and so this accessory does that and is big enough to carry all my stuff!
The bag is very sturdy, has a wrist strap and another for going over your shoulder which I love on bags as I tend to alternate depending on how heavy it is. It cost me £29.99, a very good price considering I was looking for something like this and it's so well made.
After this great experience, I will definitely be using H&M more and cannot wait to go look after payday!
