Books & Trinkets

I wrote about some new shoes I was expecting in the post from Urban Outfitters a while back and there was a little bit of disappointment and a little bit of glee.

The loafers didn't work out; they were far too big for me and certainly not as nice in real life as online. The ankle boots are wonderful and I've been wearing them every day since. So I returned the loafers and had some lovely store credit to pick up a few bits and bobs with.

Because I work in American Apparel five days a week and have to wear the brand head-to-toe, I don't really buy much elsewhere, because I can't wear other labels as much as I'd like to . So I gathered a couple of trinkets and books; the sort of things I wouldn't necessarily buy otherwise, but love to when given the chance.


I just had to pick up this Pocket Watch Necklace, what a beauty. I feel like the White Rabbit from Alice In Wonderland with it and now never have an excuse to be late.


I've always wanted a skinny studded accessory like this Leather Wrap Bracelet and was very pleased to spot it this evening.


This Brown Feather Beaded Clip is another item I wouldn't normally part with my hard-earned cash on any given day, but today was different and I'm so excited to try it out.


I love the books in Urban Outfitters; I'd spend all my money on all of them if I was slightly more crazier than I already am, but luckily I haven't crossed that line yet. One of the books I picked up was Domino: The Book Of Decorating and I'm half thinking of giving it to my Mum for Christmas, but I don't know if I can part with it just yet. It's just as pretty on the inside as it is on the outside and I'm hoping it will give me some much needed inspiration to clean and organize my mess of an apartment.

I also had an old iTunes gift card lying around and am really looking forward to the walk to work in the morning for a change, just so I can listen to some new music!

Overall a pretty good haul don't you think? And I feel like I haven't spent a penny. Which obviously isn't the case, but just goes to show how economically retarded I tend to be. Happy days.

Currently listening to 'The Reeling' by Passion Pit.
