Bad things come in threes, love and loathes!

Why oh why do bad things come in that magic number. If it wasn't bad enough that on Friday my brand spanking new and very first piece of Apple technology went capput after a day (I-Phone and yes I know I'm late on this one, I don't even have an I-pod *shock horror*).

Then my make-up bag went walkabout which I still can't find. I'm really hoping it's hidden somewhere random and I will just find it without looking one day because as far as I can remember it contained my YSL Pink Lychee, Clinique Invisible matte (saviour), Eve Pearl concealer (ahhhh) and some LE lip products I can't replace.

As I was just starting to recover from those two mishaps I had to go and make it three didn't I.

After strapping Lily in I plonked myself back in the driving seat to be met by a sharp pain in my rear and a loud crunch.

I may have only purchased these gorgeous sunnies a week ago and they may well have only cost me £12.99 from TKMAXX but I LOVED them and was devastated they broke so I'm off to hunt out another pair this week.

I really recommend these if you need some new stylish but affordable sunglasses, they're by Dereon (Beyonce's brand if I'm not mistaken) and are simple but chic.

Big but not no bug eyes in sight, a lovely tortoiseshell colour, nice arm detailing and they are surprisingly good quality.

Although I've lost a few nice things this week I've gained some pretty pieces too which have put a smile back on my face.

This light cotton, off the shoulder jumper with giant bow is my new favourite thing. It can be both casual or dressy and goes with just about everything, harems/jeans/skirts/shorts.

If you love bows skip along to H&M and grab one for £14.99, bargain!

I'm really trying to be restrained of late and not shop but there's something about pretty bows that I can't resist.
Vivienne Westwood for Melissa bow pumps are an unusual breed. It's rare to find a shoe that not only looks great but doesn't give you blisters at the same time, usually the pretty shoes are killers.
These bubblegum scented jelly shoes are majorly comfy, they have a cute peep toe and the gold lace ribbon detailing is too pretty to refuse. I had to have them.

I already own last seasons tortoiseshell bow pumps which I wear practically every day and I have to say this seasons version are even better. They cost £70 and if you are interested can be purchased at ASOS and my-wardrobe.com.
Although I've not had the best week regarding some well loved possessions bows have definitely helped me bounce back.

Whats been your love/loathes this week? I'd love to know!

I prefer the new seasons compared to last just because they were sort of see through. I can never really find anything in H&M because all the clothes are really crammed in our stores and i just don't have the patience. Do you need to go a size up in the top? x

StyleFrost said...

Everything always goes wrong at the same time! Retail therapy always makes things better, lovely bow shoes! x

Daisy said...

I saw that top in H&M but didn't pick it up- it looks gorgeous on so will be trying it today! x

I've seen that brand of sunglasses on the TK Maxx website, they might have exactly the same model...you should check them out and you might be able to get another pair :-)
Hope you find your make up bag :-)

Aleksis said...

Man o man, I understand how you feel about the sunnies. ) : I've been having some obstacles come my way for the last couple days. I hope nothing else happens! To either one of us! ( :

Sarah@Blusherobsession said...

i love the top and the shoes!
i agree about bad luck coming in 3, i've had that this week too, some good luck coming our way then soon :)

Gillian said...

Love those shoes! quick question, how do find the sizing in the Melisa shoes? would you say theyre made slighty bigger or smaller or ok? Just cos im buying some online and i'm normally a 7 but can sometimes be an 8, case in point Topshop shoes. Would be a great help thanks! x

Holly said...

@Gillian - the sizing is spot on!! I'm diff sizes in some makes too and it is frustrating but im mostly a 6 and got a 6!
Hope this helpedxx

Kerry said...

Oh I don't know what is the worst out of the three. I am pretty attached to my iPhone so I would have to say that :) Hope you manage to get it fixed and find your make-up bag! x
