Forever 21 haul in NYC Soho!!

Soooooo my lovely ladies... Just thought I would give you another post on some more of my NYC purchases!!

I had heard a lot about Forever 21 prior to heading to NYC and had seen their website through a site related to Soho in NYC. So it was one of the stores I was sure I would be heading to before I went.

Sooooo I searched the address and looked it up once me and the boyfy walked into Soho. OMG when I first walked in it was BEDLAM I mean Primark mid afternoon on a Saturday bedlam. STRESSED.com!! So I quickly did a U-turn upon seeing the sea of people, the clothes all over the floor and my poor boyfy's face of horror!! We will come back, I said - it was a Saturday after all.

We returned once again on the Monday. And what a difference. It was much much quieter. I mean yes there were a few shoppers in but you could move at least!

So I picked up a shed load of clothes and headed to the fitting room, which was heaving. So I went back upstairs and headed to the other fitting room - but alas it was shut. Given that I had already spent LOADS of time in fitting rooms that day and it was around 6pm, I just dropped the things I wasn't sure about and bought the clothes I pretty much knew would fit. Sometimes, it's just not worth it!!

Plus I wanted to get back to the apartment to get changed for cocktails!!

And here is what I bought...

The full loot - I can't quite remember now but the tops didn't come to more than $10 each I don't think!!


Making use out of one of my purchases on this hot weekend... (glasses £1 primark - and yes, they have the UV kite mark also, so I am protected properly)


The earrings - super cheap $4.80 - sorry that they have all turned upside down!!


The accessories - necklaces around $3 and scarf around $7 -


I so so so love the sunglasses. Yes they are tacky, but hey - your only young(ish) once!!! Plus they look hilarious when I hold them up to my puppy's face because they are the perfect size for him!! Haha. Anyway, I digress...

Whilst we are on the subject of accessories I may aswell show you the little pieces I picked up off a Soho street stall too...


I love picking up things like this because you can't get handmade jewellery like this in my home town. I just loved all the rope jewellery whilst I was there, it's still pretty but yet takes me to my youth when we all wore friendship bracelets. I feel like this is the adult version or something...

They were $10 each and the ring was $15. I love the ring. It literally goes with everything!






So ladies, what do you think of this haul?? You likeeee????

Necessary Clothing - NYC Haul, Soho

Ok, so this was weird - in a good way. There seemed to be quite a few of these in Soho, but in particular 2 opposite each other!! Hmmmm, that's a new one. Ah well I went into both.




My first trip wasn't super successful, which was harsh because it was sooooo busy and the boyfy had to wait outside the fitting rooms (well he went outside) for 50 minutes! All for me to buy this one top!! But as I kept saying at the time, it's not like it is around the corner and I will be in NYC everyday!

It was around $25 - $30 (seems so long ago now!), it is truly stunning on, the kind of perfect smart casual top to wear with skinny jeans to a meal or drinks after work.



So I was pleased because I tend to have either casual or going out clothes and because I am petite but with a bit of a chest I can find it difficult to find styles to wear that flatter me when it comes to smart-casual.

Therefore I went back the next day. Haha I just had to. But I went into the other shop (i.e. on the other side of road!) which was dead! Loved it. So again I spent around an hour trying on in the fitting rooms and came away with these beauties...



Sorry the picture isn't too clear but I will describe. From left to right we have:-
Pretty summery dress
White gorgeous going out dress - stunning zip detail on the back
Back version of white dress with same zip detail on the back
Stunning jumpsuit
And gorgeous cut out back detail dress which will be perfect for a wedding!!

The white dress I wore on Saturday night and you can just about see the detailing here... ......................................................>

In total it came to around $200 I think. It might have been less... On average I seem to remember most things costing around $25 which I think is pretty reasonable.
So I am having to steer clear of buying going out clothes for the next few weeks hehe. But at least I have a dress sorted for some of the weddings I am at this summer now that no one else should have!!
Hope you like as much as I do!

Sooooooooooo I am still somewhat jet lagged, but I am out for a girlie's b'day tonight so it should help me party to all hours hehe!! But because I am a little tired, and very busy at the mo I thought I would give you a quick post showing you my purchases in NYC - I will tell you more about them shortly but here's a taster:-

How much do you love the Michael Kors bag!!!? So pretty.... And I got my gorgeous Toms espadrilles, yay!!!
