H&M Winter Sale Haul- Australia

So H&M has changed the game of shopping in Australia. They have kept the prices at par with USA, often have sales and renew their stock almost every 3 months.
Ofcourse I have been buying things here & there whilst returning home from work, or on weekends.
However, over the last 3-4 months their sale has been too good to resist, and I ended up with a lot of cool stuff. So thought of sharing the loot, and some #ootds.

Enjoy and Happy Shopping!

Happy Shopping!

H&M finally opened in my town

H&M
              So we got our first H&M store in March this year, its probably the fourth store, the first three opened last year in Sydney & Melbourne. 
They have kept the price range fairly reasonable (as per Australian standards, still expensive compared to its USA prices).But I am not complaining, i am very happy about it and finally able to buy some cute stuff at affordable prices.  I have already been there 3-4 times and picked up a few  things. Yes I did go on the first day when there was a line to get it...what can I say I miss my USA brands :( 
         The most recent trip was kind off impromptu. I went after work on Thursday, which is late night shopping day. I wanted to buy a jumper that I was eyeing online for a few weeks now. My plan was to go in get the sweater and walk out. But alas, that has never and probably will never happen. (LOL). As I was walking towards the shops, I stepped into Supre which was having some ridiculous 70%  off, so it was a much longer trip than I had planned :)
           So I did pick up my Unicorn light pink sweater. I was over the moon when I saw it online, as its everything I love #Pink, #Unicorn, #Magical and sooooo #Girlie!! I used to have a my little pony bag and a few of the ponies and their combs as a kid. My dad spoilt us and we had the most exclusive toys, which were hard to find back in the day and were quite expensive. I also had a few outfits for the ponies. So when I saw this sweater online I had to buy it!! I also bought a soft scarf as it was deal of the day at H&M and a plain dusty pink top for everyday wear.

On a different trip I picked up a pair of fuzzy socks, animal pring nightie, which is super soft, some lace strap camis, striped top with gold buttons on the sleeves and shoulder and a black button down shirt as it is a wardrobe staple and I needed a new one. I also want to pick up a few other colors, white and blue stripes, but they were out of stock.

Beach Holiday Shopping

I did some shopping recently and thought I would share the deals. The inspiration behind this shopping spree is a beach vacation planned in July. I also got a few random things as the deals were too irresistible.

SES
I only got these pants. Super comfy and trendy. Will pair them with a plain white, pink or lime green top.

Price: $9.80

Tommy Bahama
I needed a swimming top and got an awesome deal on these bathers. $25 down from $80

Jacqui.E
Another favorite store of mine, its exclusive to Australia, but I like their stuff, especially their dresses. I was looking for white skirt or dress and found this one, which is perfect. Knee length with lace detailing on the trim. Would be perfect to wear all day shopping in the markets, sipping some cool drink.

Price: $19.99

Supre
This is what I ended up getting at Supre, I must have tried 20 outfits, but since I was out of time I just picked these few things that fit perfectly.

 Price:

Animal print dress: $10 down from $39

Kimono: $5 down from $25

Top: $5 down from $30

Fossil 
This bag is totally inspired by my beach vacation. I love bags, so there is never a reason for buying one. I collect hand bags and love to switch them with different outfits. 
This is a light mint green colored leather shoulder bag, with removable straps so you can wear it as a cross body. I thought this would be a perfect bag to take on the plane and later use the straps and wear it as a cross body while sight seeing or shopping.

I needed a new iPad cover and I always and only buy these from Fossil. So got a new one, they are very sturdy, look good, protect the iPad well and are leather so you cant go wrong.

Price:

Bag: $90 down from $200

iPad Cover: $10 down from $30

Peter Alexander 
This is Australian version of Victoria's Secrets I believe. Love thier stuff, super soft very cute, pink and yes extremely over priced. Their logo is a dog, kind of inspired (I am guessing) by the VS Pink logo. Anyways I have started liking their stuff and picked up a bralet to wear under the summer dresses, as I don't like my bra hooks showing through the back. I will wear pads with this, as its not padded.

Price: $13 down from $30

If you would like to see how I paired and what I packed on my vacation let me know in the comments below. I will try to do a post on it.

Hope you get some tips and ideas or inspiration to shop and find some good deals, after reading my post.

If you are going on a vacation please let me know where and what you pack.

Cheers
