Fashion | HUGE Spring/Summer Haul (Asos, River Island, Fashion Union, Primark and many more ! )

Hello beauties, so today I decided to do a haul post (as I have been doing) of some clothes I purchased from spring sale. I'm first going to start off this post with River Island. Seriously when sale hits, River Island is one of the top shop that I target, god the costs are so pricy! As you know prints and spring season come hand in hand and as you've seen from my previous post, I just love the prints that River Island makes. I always droll over them but too pricy that I have to risk with patience for them to be on sale and hope that they don't run out of my size by then lol. (If I really buy something on River Island for full price, they have to be so worth it!). So here are the few ones I ordered from River Island and was so glad to have found my size when they finally hit the sale! :D

River Island
So the first one is this beautifully bold printed culottes. As I mentioned in my previous post, I ADORE the bold prints that River Island comes up with. This one, there was no way I would make a miss on top of that when it was on sale!. Only one down side of this trousers though, I would love if this culottes was rather a full trousers like a pallazo pants than cropped. Would really make a beautiful statement piece in the outfit.

I couldn't express how happy I was seeing this blazer available in my size when it finally hit the sale. Trust me if you are UK size 6 like me you know what I mean about the hardship of finding size 6 specially on sale times. This beautiful floral blazer with black stripes is one of the piece I had my eyes on ever since it became available on RI. Now I got this blazer for £25 pounds which would have cost me £48!

Next up is this retro printed orange midi skirt which I absolutely adore about how retro it looks the more I look at it and again is one of the item I had been committing my patience for the sale to happen to this. This skirt is also available on asos and is now on sale for £21 which I was planning to buy from. Luckily one time when I went to RI store to collect one of my delivery, I saw this skirt hanging on the rail just behind me when I was getting served and saw the big tag of £12! So yeah, I went to get my delivery but came out with another purchase hehe.

Asos
I got inspired to buy this Asos skirt  by seeing the beautiful outfit post made by Tie bow tie, Click here to see. This skirt is now out of stock on asos unfortunately, but I'm so glad I saw this post on time to order it before it becomes out of stock for my size.

Fashion Union
This is my first ever order I made from Fashion Union. As I saw the following three beauts on sale. First of all I should say I would give the rating of the delivery service from this company to be very poor. The delivery came really slow and when it came to my door, the qualities of the clothes didn't amaze me at the same time. Not to mention the sizings are also bit put off. It's quite weird as I'm normally size 6 and size 6 is normally XS, however they showed XS as 8 which was the smallest they did in sizes. So for all of these items I ordered XS anyway as I could sometimes wear 8 to have baggy fit but no! when I tried them on, specially the jumpsuit, I could hardly be able to pull them pass my thighs! The jumpsuit was super tight, the cami top had my arm pit fats showing due to being too small round the corner and the skorts had my back cheeks showing, Eek!



Primark
When it comes to summer time in Primark, I really gotto admit my obsession for the collections they make. I know a lot of ladies can probably feel me. I have mainly be obsessing over the jumpsuits in Primark recently, they are just lurvvvee. Strappy, crepe, zipped, cami, frilled and shirt jumpsuit, gotto love them all and not to mention the gorgeous prints.
So this jumpsuit is that one out of few others that made my eyes glitter. What got me the most obviously is what you could guess the Lovely Bright print that screams for summer. Just love the selection of these two orange and purple colours and love how they are equally bold and dominant to each other. I couldn't risk for this jumpsuit to be on sale and have a potential regret of losing my size so I got this jumpsuit on full price £15 but still its so much worth it! 

Next is this beautiful 90s style printed midi skirt which I already love for the print but along with that it has another vintage element on it which is this style of buttons at the front all the way. This skirt was originally £10 but got it on sale for £5 :D Another bargain find!
Eeekk sorry about the crease lol. 
All of these clothes weren't purchased on the same day! Not even the clothes that are from the same shop were purchased on the same day. For instance this jumpsuit below was purchased just the day before when I hit the new Primark shop in Canterbury, Kent. Loving it due to the size of the store as it's definitely bigger than the store where I live (Folkestone). I loved this shirt jumpsuit just from the way its designed even though I wasn't that much Wow'd by the print. So I added this jumpsuit with few other ones I was going to go to the fitting room with and I have to say when I tried it on, the fitting of this jumpsuit just Wow'ed me so much I HAD to get it! It hugs my body really well and sits everywhere perfectly that it shows off my feminine shape really nicely even though the jumpsuit own it's own looks more of a boyish chic than girly. 
Shirt Jumpsuit - £13
So below are few other ones I purchased from Primark. 
Assymetric skirt: £9

Palm cami: £4
Nautical top: £6
Basic Jumper: £6   Beaded necklace: £3
Chic clutch bag: £6 - £3

Newlook
This was just another day browsing around just to kill some extra time I had before my work starts. So on that day I picked up a lovely floral (yet again) palazzo pants again lucky to find the size 6 yeppi, and was £13 on sale.

H&M
£14.99

Saree Shopping :D


Hello again :) I wanted to share one of the time I spent in Nepal while going for Saree shopping and something that made me so happy that day apart from getting the sarees :D. As I'm Nepalese and Hindu, I love and the word LOVE sarees. Saree for me, is one of the most feminine look a woman can ever wear <3 . There is a famous quote made by someone about saree that says: ''Saree covers the right amount, and reveals the right amount. Its such a perfect tease''. And hell yes that is indeed 100% accurate and the perfect description for it I agree. 



As any Asian would do in Asia, you gotto bargain for anything that you want to buy lol. And as any Asian seller, they add massive amount of profit in the goods they are selling sometimes the profit ALONE is more than the actual price they purchased. To start off with the story of that day, I want to share a little information of my family that will be needed to understand what is going on. My family owns a clothes shop in Nepal, its a solo business, like majority of the shops in Nepal, like in most Asia. My family has different links with lots of other shops where we buy stocks for our own shop. The shop in the pictures I've posted here is one of them and is in a place called Pokhara. Theshop was kind of hectic and pretty big with many workers which the main owner of the shop hired, each of them displaying different things that their customers were looking for. When my mother sister was looking for the goods for our own shop for selling, I was too busy dribbling for all the beautiful and sophisticating sarees as I was seeing them hanging hehe. 

As it had been years and years I left Nepal, I wanted to know what the pricing for sarees were. I pointed out to one of the saree that was hanging and asked one of the worker for the price, the worker stood up to look at the label and said ' it's 22 thousand rupees''. Inside I was like what? Ok forget it. LOL. I could already have that feeling of giving up as there was no way I would be able to afford even one saree with that price, even after bargaining. Then, after a while after looking at I had an urge to ask the price of the Same saree that was hanging, but this time I asked the main owner. Straight away, without looking he said that one is 7 thousand rupees O_O 

At that moment I first thought that the first worker somehow had a mistake reading the price or something lol. But when I told my big sister about what I heard, the answer she gave me made me so damn happy! She told me that both prices I heard are right, 22 thousand rupees is probably the price they're selling to 'normal customers' who comes to buy. What do I mean by 'normal customers'? Well the main owner 'knew' me as my family is a regular wholesale customer, so he was being nice to me telling me the wholesale price of that saree!! 
Basically I was so damn lucky to be part of my family where the seller was willing to sell me the sarees with the wholesale price not the actual price they're selling to normal customers !!! 

C'mmon, 22 thousand rupees and 7 thousand rupees what a huge gap! Straight away after hearing what my sister told me, my heart could feel that 'giving up' mood fading straight away :D I became a happiest bunny ever!  Its like I didn't even had to bother bargaining. The seller was too generous. Amen. 
This shop is madness! So many sarees to choose from. So little time. I love playing with other colours but never get tired of  red sarees. 

Two of the sarees that came home with me on that day.

Its a bit coincidence the way both of them happened to have green border hehe. Red and green colour combination like on the left is one of the many famous colour combination in sarees, plus I love the type of print that this particular one has. This particular saree on the left was the first saree that I had my eyes on, after going through lots of other kinds of red-green sarees in the shop, I stuck to the very first saree I saw because most of them had something that I didn't really like. The second saree on the right I was bit unsure deciding in the shop, plus seeing all  the countless sorts of colours who wouldn't have indecisive mind! Plus that is something how I always am when it comes to coming up with a valid decision, always leave myself with dilemmas. Anyway, going back to the topic of second saree, the colour in the picture looks bit more purple than it is. In real, the colour is more of a Magenta colour which is one of my favourite colours I'm into recently. I like how the Magenta colour is not entirely pink but not entirely purple, its more of a colour in between as if they're mixed. So yeah, the colour of the saree in real is Magenta. 


Sarees stacked in the shelves with colour co-ordination. This is how my saree wardrobe should be looking . Sigh , hehe
