♡Online Shopping♡

So... this may or may not have been happening over the last couple of weeks... I am able to admit I have a slight problem...

I have been feeling extremely uninspired with my wardrobe recently which is where my inspiration for everything else comes from so feeling happy in clothing is really important to me and before I knew it I had bought all of this off of Asos and Topshop. I think there's a little bit of an unintentional theme here!

♡Shopping Haul♡

Hey guys!! So it's my birthday today (nineteen!!! wah!) and I have been so busy the last couple of days doing things to celebrate so there are a couple of posts coming up explaining what I have been up to that's kept me so busy as well as what I got for my birthday, so stay tuned for those!

A couple of days before my birthday though I went shopping with two of my friends to spoil myself a bit for my birthday. This is my haul!

Firsty we went to a large shopping centre and I bought the following from a shop called Factorie:

I really really love this playsuit. They've been in style for a while but always thought that it wouldn't flatter my shape, boy was I wrong! It elongates your legs and compliments everyone's body shape. I am seriously in love with this, it's really light weight and comfy and it's great for me to wear to uni because my campus is really windy and this doesn't blow up. I love the colours, the turquoise, pink and purple that you can see. It's perfect for summer!

I've always wanted jelly sandals since I was about eight when my best friend used to always wear them when we went swimming in beaches that had oyster shells on the rocks so that she wouldn't get cuts. I got the clear ones with glitter and they look a bit purple under light which you can see here. It's really hard to get a photo of them though so sorry about the terrible photo quality!

These shorts are a dark navy blue, high wasted and have a bow detail on the back. These are really great for summer too as they are lightweight and super comfy. They are also really flattering for my body shape. Due to the fact that they flow at the end I found that they look best if you pair them with a tight fitting top.

I bought these shoes from a shop called Dotti. I've wanted the pair from Wittner for a long long time but have never been able to allow myself to part with so much money for a pair of shoes and they've always been out of stock. They were hard to get a good photo of so I used a google image here. I wore them with the playsuit when I went out the other night. They're unbelievably comfy and I love them!

Lastly, we went into the city and went to topshop:

This top was on sale so was only $16! It's cropped with lace detail on the area of the collar bone and also at the sleeves, which are 3/4 length. It then has beaded and sequined detail in the centre of the top which looks really nice as it's not overdone and too 'blingy' - it was really hard to get a photo of though. The top doesn't cling to your body and sits off your shape.

This bag  was a bit expensive by my standards, $65, but definitely worth it! It has a lot of space and is perfect for uni as it seems to be really sturdy and the straps are adjustable and I also think that it is also very versatile. It's both really practical and beautiful.

This was bought from a pop-up store in a shopping centre in the city which I can't remember the name of. I am absolutely in love with this playsuit! I am smaller on my top than my bottom half so had to order this the size I would wear on my bottom which means that it's a bit too big for me at the top but nothing that some tape can't fix! I don't ever wear something that shows as much skin as this does but both of my friends loved me in it and wouldn't let me leave without buying it. Luckily they did because I wore it out the other night for a night out for my birthday and it was just so much fun! I am absolutely in love with daisies as well so that was a massive plus.

So my next post will be about what I did to celebrate my birthday and then the next post will be about what I got for my birthday today/a review of some of the products. So keep your eyes open!

Lots of love

♡Asos Clothing Review♡

Hey guys, I'm feeling oddly inspired today, which I haven't felt for ages and I am loving it!

I went to an arts and design high school because I've always been particularly talented in those areas but after my last year of high school where I had to create an artwork that went by the education departments standards to get a good mark I haven't been inspired for a long time.

I hate the thought of art work having to fit certain criteria for it to be marked well... I hate the idea of an art work being marked full stop so I haven't been that quick to pick up a pencil or a paint brush but recently I have started to doodle.

My doodles are nothing special but I am slowly but surely working back to my creative space - a design for a tattoo has even come out of it! I plan on booking a tattoo appointment for next week and hopefully my next blog post will be about the tattoo with photos and what the experience was like.

Anyway, now to what this post is really about.

I recently ordered some clothing off asos but I'm never 100% satisfied with my purchases. Don't get me wrong, I love asos, but when it comes down to it I much prefer shopping in person because then I can get an actual feel for the product and am not surprised by anything.

So here is what I bought:

So, I absolutely love this dress, it contains all of my favourite colours and apparently has "Billie written all over it" as my friends and family have said once seeing me wear the dress. The only issue that I have with this dress is that in real life the colours are more vibrant and 'intense' for the lack of a better word, in person than any photo could capture. Every photo I tried to take of it somehow just didn't capture it's real colour.

It is also longer than expected, even when I took in the measurements. I still absolutely love it though.

Ok so, I have a couple denim jackets but they're really fitted and I have wanted a 'baggier' style jacket for a long time but this jacket is proof that I should pay more attention to a garments details before purchasing.

I still love the jacket but what I thought was 100% real denim when I took this out of the packaging I realised it wasn't and after looking back at the asos website it is "Made from a stretch-denim fabric " and the body is 75% Cotton, 24% Polyester, 1% Elastane.

That's a bit dissapointing but this jacket was in my price range and when I asked people whether it looked like a real denim jacket when I wore it they said it did, so then I decided not to tell them it wasn't haha.

Now this bikini top I am pretty much 100% satisfied with. The blue is a very complimentary colour on me as it suits my skin tone and hair colour. I don't have very big boobs and the curve of this bikini does help make it look otherwise. On the website it said it had "lightly padded cups" which were a lot more lightly padded then I was expecting but that is the only downside. I really love it.

This is the bikini bottom that I bought to wear with the bikini top and also other bikini tops that I have.

I really love mix and matching bikinis, I have never really been the one to wear a matching bikini set as I think mix and matching is more exciting, it also helps to compliment your body.

Now I am all for wearing whatever you want no matter your body type but personally I have always wanted a black bikini bottom because I am more 'bottom heavy' so wanted to wear something that was flattering, which the frills and the black are.

There were no hidden surprises with this bikini, it is exactly as I expected.

So that was just a small review on my products from asos and if you have any questions or comments please just leave a comment down below.

Also feel free to follow me on instagram, which is billie_sd and I will check your insta out
