Shopping in Glasgow!

Finally! A new post... I usually upload a new blog post every week or so but I've had a couple of weeks off... not on purpose... just been a busy bee for a while! Anyway, with London Fashion Week having just left the headlines, I've been feeling pretty inspired to choose a few new things to wear for when the weather gets a bit better! During the weekend just gone, I spent some time with my family in Scotland, and on Saturday took a trip into Glasgow to get a few additions for my wardrobe :D The buildings and all the shops were really beautiful... so I think they might come as a post of their own! In this post, I thought I'd share a few of the clothes I picked up while I was there. As you know if you read a lot of my posts... I'm no fashionista haha! But, I would say I have developed my own "style" as I think most of my friends could definitely say "that's a Laura dress" if they saw one haha :D 

I tried to get a few more things for spring time... without going too summery if that makes sense? I love wearing dresses for this reason as you can add tights if it's cold or go without for sunny days (well, I'd probably need to fake tan the case of the latter haha) So this will be why you notice no trousers or tops... I'm 80% of the time a dress girl! :)

This is probably one of my favourite things I picked up :) It's from Topshop and I've really been loving these kind of "two-part" dresses recently with different materials or patterns on the top and bottom...

The top part is like a sheer material with little white daisies all over which I thought would look really pretty in spring time! There is a little white vest underneath the top bit so it's less see through, but if that's not enough I thought I could always add another white vest underneath the dress... 

These two are from Zara... I wouldn't normally go for this sort of thing, but I tried on the pinky-nude one and really liked it! It does wash me out a bit but nothing some St.Tropez tan won't fix haha... and the little details aren't too see through either :) I'd wear these for like a night out (not that I go on many of those haha) or to a special meal or something... probably not so much of a day-time thing.

I've been eyeing this one up for ages in Topshop, but I'm glad I waited as it was in the sale for £25... not a massive reduction but still... I thought it's a nice little chuck-on kind of dress to wear to uni :) I also thought it could be dressed up or down!

The next thing (yup, another dress haha) is a pretty plain black dress. It's from Topshop and I got it in the sale for only £10! The reason I've only photographed the bottom is there is a little mark on the top (which will come out in the wash) but the top is just like a t-shirt, but with mesh around the neckline. I thought the bottom was a lovely material and I'm really pleased I bought it... such a bargain! :)

Again from Topshop, I picked up this little patterned dress :) Now, when I seen it I instantly said to mum "what do you think Matthew would say to that haha!?" We have this running joke that, whatever I choose to wear Matthew will say "you look like a......" (baker, golfer, waitress... for examples haha) and as soon as I saw this dress I was very intrigued as to what he'd come up with for it haha. I think it's really pretty and it's in my favourite style too :)

Now for the star of the show... this is my new coat :D It's from Zara and it was a "love at first sight" kind of moment with it haha! I've never really been a coat person... that sounds a bit silly but I honestly never used to wear coats very often (I don't feel the cold much) but recently I've loved seeing some of the girly, pastel coloured ones come into the shops. This one was £79.99, so a pretty hefty price tag... but the ones in topshop didn't feel any better quality, and they were slightly more expensive. So anyway, this is the one I've ended up with and I love it! It feels very "me" and I can't wait to wear it out :D 

Phew, well... there went my student loan haha. I'm really pleased with the things I picked up and to top it off, the weather was beautiful today so it made me even more excited to wear them :) I hope anyone else who did some post-LFW shopping enjoyed it too! :)
