No, it's not real. But I love it so much, it's real enough to me.

Peace, Baby!
First saw this belt on Sammi from http://www.beauty-crush.blogspot.com and then knew that I had to have it.
You shall soon be mine... (£16 from Urban Outfitters.)
For 10% off code- UO10 (for a limited time only!)
P.s, who else thinks Urban Oufitter's delivery charge of £4.99 is a bit extreme? Just me?

Massive Collective Winter (Nov/Dec) Haul
I wasn't lying when I said I liked to shop way too much.
But let's keep that our little secret, okay?
Anyways, here are some items that I bought (With my own money - I work practically full time when I'm on my college breaks!)
Ahh, the infamous Glitter spot dress, that was very much coveted this party season. I'm sure you can all see why. The material is soft velvet, with spots of glitter glued on (hence the name.) I found this skater style dress when I was doing a spot of shopping in the city of Leeds. I saw it in the Oyster colour, but wanted to see it in black (As I thought those were the only 2 colours avaliable, if you checked online, there are ONLY those two colours.) However, I was told by an assistant to check out the last-chance to buy section, and as if it was destiny - I found this divine purple-aubergine colour. I didn't even know it existed. However, it was a size 6. Loving it so much, I decided to try it on anyway, and ALAS - it fitted perfectly (for some strange reason. It is rather stretchy.) So, I waved bye-bye to £46 and said HELLO to one beautiful dress!
Had a few formal dinners in the months of Nov/Dec, and needed a dress. Saw this one by Jonh Zack and fell in love with it. Asos didn't have it anymore sadly, so I scoured the internet and found this brand new from Ebay. I do love a bit of lace. Was around £28.
Embellished tank from Primark. Looks so much more expensive than it really is. I love all this sparkly for the party season, and I love jewels, sequins, etc. I also love vest tops like these that flare out at the end - perfect for tucking in! Was just over £10 (I think.)
Embellished sequin collar dusty pink shirt from Newlook. I fell in love with the shirt when I saw it in the store aswell. (again, more sparkly things..) However, I couldn't fathom paying £24.99 for it (original price.) So I waited. And waited. And good things come to those who wait - it was on pre-christmas sale for £15! Snatched it up immediately.
Not really a big fan of Leoprint usually, I think it can be over-done too easily and then you can end up looking like a bit of a WAG. However, leoprint is hot this season, and although I'm not too keen on the leoprint leggings, I really liked this bodycon skirt, and it's a nice change to the generic black body con skirt. £15 from new look. It also has an exposed zip on the back - which is right down my street!
Scalloped edge hem paper bag shorts. I don't own a pair of paper bag shorts, and I love scalloped edges, I just think they're so cute, so, these won me over. Bought originally for £20. They went on sale, but sold out pretty damn fast!
The infamous Primark faux leather pleated skirt. (£14) I'm sure you've seen this everywhere now, but I love this, I've worn it to death since I've bought it. So chic, girly, yet leather gives it the edge. Well worth the £14 - bargin!
Saw this lace Bodycon skirt in H&M for £9.99. Lace + bodycon? Sold - me gusta. So feminine yet sexy, esecially for night outs + dinners.
I love this oatmeal coloured boxy jumper, which was £12.99 from Internacionale. I usually only like about 10% of the things in internacionale, mostly only buy things from there once in a blue moon (Some of their things are tacky + the shop smells really strong of pleather + just plastic in general.) However, this is a truly decent buy. Again, I wear it to death, as it looks so nice paired with my primark faux leather skirt and ankle boots.
This stripey skater dress is also another decent purchase from internacionale! I saw one in Topshop with no sleeves, But I really wanted 3/4 sleeves. The material on this one is thinner, but not see through. Came with a belt, but I just took it off.
More of a fitter cream jumper, £12 from primark. Warm, exposed zip on the back.
Grey Cable knit jumper from New Look, £24.99. This is so warm, looks good when paired with practically anything.
Basics from h&m, bought for college. I love h&m basics, so nice to layer pieces with. All £7.99 from what I can remember!
Peter Pan collared skirt and scalloped collar & edge shirts from Primark. £12 and £5 respectively. This collars are so on trend, and so cute and chic. Going to be wearing them for college, with skater skirts or trousers!
Another pair of the oh-so-warm, super cosy tights from Primark - everyone must have a pair of these this winter, going into spring - so warm! Only £3.50 per pair!
Fur scarf from h&m (left,£12.99) and fur stole from Primark (right, £6.00) I love fur this season. I think they can be brought into spring, to wear on top of slighty thinner jackets. I am obsessed. I have another fur collar in the post!
My ankle boots from new look. I love shoes. These went down from £19.99 to £15. Had to buy - they tick every box! Wide, tapered heel, not to high, rounded toe, zips... Doesn't curb my lust for the topshop ambush boots though!
Vectra studded loafers from Topshop (£28 - the faux leather versions.) I swear everyone has these now. I love them, to bits. I nearly started hyperventilating when I saw them in my local topshop (we have a small topshop you see.) They were freshly put out - I went and snatched a pair immediately.
Miss Selfridge Heart loafers. Saw these orignally for £28 aswell, thought they were so cute, but didn't love them enough to pay that price for them. Then, came back nearer to Christmas, and saw my size on sale for £15 - YES. Answered my prays. These aren't as comfy as my vectras, but have a lot structure - perfect for college wear I think!
Hope you guys enjoyed my massive collective haul - Please take into account I did not buy everything at once! I do not have that much disposable income to use all at once, plus, I have no idea how I would be able to carry everything...
Let me know what you guys think!

Introduction (:
Hi,
My names Lisa. I am a 16 year old sixth former who loves clothes way too much. I am currently studying the IB diploma, with subjects of English literature, Business & Management, and Economics at higher level, and Maths, German and Biology at standard level.
Most people would say I'm book-smart, however, I lack common sense. I'm too gullable and clothes and beauty are my weaknesses, as well as guilty pleasures (and also the culprit for breaking my bank account!)
Follow me on my journey as I explore the world of fashion and play dress-up in my everyday life, as well as taking a peek into my everyday life. :)
