MILAN HAUL | LOOKBOOK

CLOTHING

Embroidered Mesh Top - ZARA - £9.99

One of the first things I found when looking for clothes for Milan was this gorgeous mesh, embroidered, blush pink top. I'd been looking around for the perfect one for quite a while as I thought it was a good way to cover up but also to keep cool whilst I was away.

This was my outfit for shopping which I paired with my tie up Zara sandals (To come later) and my denim skirt whilst away but now I'm home, I paired it with my new Calvin Klein belt too!

'Blurred' Worn T-Shirt - TOPSHOP - £7.00

This was another pre-holiday find in the sales. I wasn't really looking for a new t-shirt, but as per usual, TopShop won me over with another cheap find!

This top was originally £26, knocked down to £7 and when I last saw, they had barely any left - not surprising. It features a beautiful cool tones floral print with an 'inside out' effect with extra seams around the sleeves and a ripped, choker style neck line.

I wore this along with my bow plimsoles and jeans with my leather jacket for the journey to Milan before realising it was absolutely boiling and I had to change... Typical. However, I still LOVE this top non the less.

Peplum Cotton Top - ZARA - £9.99

Next is my favourite find from the pre-holiday haul - a white, cotton, peplum top from Zara which was an absolute bargain at only £9.99.

It goes with almost everything, skirts both plain and patterned, jeans, trousers, formal and casual! Its just an all-round amazing top, and perfect for the heat and shopping combined.

Mustard Logo Top - TOMMY HILFIGER - £9.99

This was one of my first purchases in Milan from Tommy Hilfiger - How could I resist? The shop was outside the hotel!

Again, Ive been looking for a nice mustard coloured top for a while and was after a logo tee whilst I was here, so this, paired with the fact that it was only £20, this was an unquestionable buy.

Wrap Floral Blouse - TK MAXX - £13.99

The last thing that I bought for the holiday was this wrap floral top from TKMAXX, they have so many different versions of this top, I might go back and get some more when I go next.
I love it because its really good quality and figure flattering too, the only thing is that I had to put a little safety pin in otherwise the cut was a little too low. As you can see from the picture, however, I love wearing this top, its so nice and floaty!

ACCESSORIES - Shoes, Bags and Purses!

Pink Suede Bow Plimsoles - RIVER ISLAND - £14.00 | Tie Up Espadrilles - ZARA - £19.99

So these two pairs of shoes were part of my pre-milan haul. I got these plimsoles out of the kids section in River Island (No Shame) and they were only £14! They do up to a size 3 in the kids section, as do many other places, which meant they were more confutable and more affordable which is as added bonus. I think they look perfect with absolutely anything: a dress, skirt or jeans and I found them perfect for the journey on the plane as they were east to slip on and off.

I wore these Zara espadrilles on our day shopping around milan. They were only £19.99 in the sale and were in a size three (which isn't a size I can normally find in Zara so I was very happy), I thought they were great as I knew there was a chance they would get took on or something whilst walking around but because they're fabric around the toe, they're easy enough to wipe clean again! I also love the fact that these are a pointed toe which gives them more of a sophisticated look.

Zip-Up Leather Old Skools - VANS - £75.00

I have to admit, these trainers were the epitome of an impulse buy whilst I'm Milan. After telling myself I wasn't buying anything else and then we spotted the Vans store. These shoes stood out to me for a few reasons. The thing that caught my eye at first was the gorgeous red colour, I think it's absolutely gorgeous! This along with the fact that I'd been looking for a pair of leather old skools for a while and that they were in the sale made them as good as sold to me.

Plaque Logo Belt - CALVIN KLEIN - £49.99

Something I was after whilst in Milan was a new belt. Im sick of buying cheap belts and having to replace them every 3 months because they break at the back so I thought it was time to bite the bullet and invest in a more high end one. At first I was after one to match my new purse, however, when walking around I saw so many people wearing the one I was after which kind of put me off. therefore, I got my hands on this Calvin Klein belt in the sale! I love it! I was going for the more nude belt with a rose gold logo, however, I thought I might not get as much use out of it and to top it off, they only had large left. I'm thankful tho because otherwise I wouldn't have found this gem.

Blush Coin Purse - GUCCI - £240.00

Now this was a guilty spend and I do feel like I spent waaaaayyyyy too much money... but I don't care because it's gorgeous!!!!!! I am absolutely in LOVE with this Gucci purse! its so cute and perfect. Its in a very subtle blush pink with the two gold 'G's on the front. Inside, it has a place for notes, coins and 6 card spaces which can easily fit 2 in each if needs be. Im so excited to use it and its perfect because it goes with the inside of my Vivienne Westwood bag perfectly.

Mustard Shoulder Bag - TOMMY HILFIGER - £129.99

My final purchase of the holiday, besides LOADS of delicious food, was this gorgeous mustard shoulder bag from Tommy Hilfiger, which coincidentally matches the top I bought on the first day. It has a brilliant fastening on the front where the 'T' twists to join the 'H' for opening, similar to some Louis Vuitton purses. I was going back and forth between this model and a black, however, I felt that the mustard was a better choice as I already have a black handbag and this would add some much needed colour into my wardrobe.

Thanks for checking out my Milan Haul, I know some of you have been eagerly awaiting it! Thank you for all the support you have shown me in restarting my blog and heres to more posts like this to come!
