Haul! September 2012 – Cotton On, Lovisa, Zara

Hey guys! Another monthly haul again, this time the loots are quite inexpensive which is fantastic and I can’t wait to share them with you guys. And I have to warn you guys first, there are a lot of lace in this ‘episode’.

Lace Top with Leather Trimming in Deep Green & Blue [Cotton On – SGD$5]

The Cotton On I often frequent is always on sale. Their sale section is always updated, for example I saw the exact same top at full retail price in some outlets and like 1 month later, dirt cheap in mine. So I always make it a point to go there from time to time. Anyways going off-topic, this top is so simple yet so chic. It fits so on so nicely and the leather trimming just adds detailing to the outfit. I always appreciate little details like this. I bought it in 2 colours since I couldn’t decide which one I liked better and it was only 5 bucks so why not? The original retail price is SGD29.90 and I got it in Size S.

Lace Peplum Top in Burgundy/Deep Purple [Cotton On – SGD$10]

This. I. Absolutely. Love! Following the peplum trend which started eons ago, I have been on the lookout for a nice soft peplum top. Now this! Is definitely one that fits my criteria. In the store it looked kind of a maroon, burgundy colour but it is more of a deep purple. I bought it in XS as it was the only size available. It looks really nice on, the pictures does not do it any justice. There is also a functional zipper at the back perfect for me because a klutz like me will rip the delicate lacing. I’ll do an OOTD if I’m able to some day! Original retail price SGD29.90 as well.

Zara Navy Nautical Stripe Shorts [Zara – USD$19.99]

I initially wanted to order the trousers version of this which has red stripes but it was totally sold out within a night. So I had to go for the shorts instead. I actually really like the texture of it, very different from normal jean shorts. And I do like the frayed edges as well. The only complaint I have is that it is very short, like a hot pants short, it cuts right under my bum so I may have to wear something over to cover a little on the back. I got it in UK10.

Lovisa Rose Gold Watch + Double Cross Necklace [Watch – SGD$38, Necklace – SGD$17]

These 2 items were already featured in previous posts so I shall not talk much about them. The Lovisa Rose Gold Watch is a cheaper alternative to Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch which I have been eyeing for ages but not willing to spend 300 bucks for it. It looks very pretty and for SGD$38, it isn’t too bad.

And for the double cross necklace, I have been matching it with almost all outfits I’m sporting each day. It is a very thin dainty necklace that gets tangled so easily. Oh my gosh like every single time I wear it I have to spend 5 mins untangling it. But other than that, a lovely necklace. I haven’t been able to find a jewelry store, online or physical, which sells this kind of pieces. I don’t really wear that much accessories on a day to day basis much rather statement ones, which is all I can see in jewelry boutiques these days.
