FASHION HAUL | smart set

hello friends, 

today i went on a little shopping adventure with my mom and i actually haven't bought any clothes for a very long time. i'm quite proud of myself for that, because it was starting to get a little ridiculous at how much money i was spending on items, that i still haven't even worn yet, and summer is almost over. but there were a few fall items that caught my eye whilst i was in a shop called "Smart Set", and everything was on sale- to boot! 

grey houndstooth blazer- regularly $65.00 sale $40.99

this blazer reminded me a bit of Kate Middleton, and i'm lacking in fall jackets, i figured this would be a great addition, and it would look super adorable with tan riding boots. 

black and white blouse- regularly $25.00 sale- $15.65

"paris, la vie c'est" necklace regularly- $10.00 sale- $6.70

mauve sunglasses- sale $1.99 extra discount- $1.78

stud earrings regularly- $5.00 sale- $3.36

mustard yellow purse- FREE! (if you spent $75) otherwise $12.00 

i had not intended on spending as much as i did, it's hard to be on a budget... but some of these items i did need for when the weather gets a bit cooler. it helped that all of these items were 30% and 25% off, so i didn't feel as guilty, because i did get some really amazing deals. but i WILL NOT be spending a dime for a little while. 

hope you all are having a lovely weekend. x 

GET THE LOOK | lily collins

strappy cami- Topshop $18.00, flower print cropped jacket- topshop $55.00, leather shorts- topshop $120.00, Flip Lock clutch clutch- topshop $38.00, Gwenda pointed court shoes- topshop $58.00, ditsy triangle charm necklace- ASOS $10.70

i have been loving lily collins style lately. even in her casual wear she puts together plaids and rolled up jeans, some sweet boots and sunglasses, i love how it looks put together without even trying. i always struggle with my day to day outfits. 

the only thing about this ensemble is how hard it was to find a blazer even remotely similar in any way. this one from topshop was the closest thing i could find, and there was one on ASOS that would have been perfect but it was sold out! ugh. but anyways if any of you know of any blazers that have similarities to lily collins' please let me know where to find it in the comments. thanks!
