my spring must-haves!

Now I've picked up a couple of sale bargains and a treat or two I'm turning my attention to a few classic basics to bag for Spring. First thing on my mind is a new jacket. I've already purchased this Topshop shackett but a little while ago my mate Sue sowed the seed after she picked up a black denim jacket in Primark. Every time I go into Primark I look for one but I've never been lucky enough to find it. I've now decided I *NEED* one. So I got researching. I knew what I was after, an oversized boyfriend (or girlfriend) style was exactly what I had in mind. So this one is now winging it's way to me.

Now, I dipped my whole foot in the band t-shirt trend last Summer (four of those at the last count) and to be honest I overdosed on stars too. How's about this to lighten up your t-shirt collection for Spring?

I am always searching for a good alternative to wear instead of jeans. I actually picked up these trews at the end of last Summer and bought them in navy pinstripe too. I think these are going to feature heavily here once it is ankle baring weather. I am so looking forward to wearing these again. They are back in stock again and I hope they become a line that H&M do every season as they are most definitely a wardrobe staple! N.B I sized up and bought a UK 14 in these, I'm normally a UK 10 but I prefer the slouchier look. I also unstitched the hem on mine and rolled them up!

And lastly....more shoes! I lived in my white Office Dapper loafers last year. Sadly they are looking a bit tired now so I've been looking for an alternative white shoe as they were so useful. They went with so much. I love these from Topshop but I think I'd like a completely different shape and these seem to fit the bill. They are reduced, with most sizes left but there is another more purse friendly option here.
