NEW IN: Zara ankle boots and the Topshop JAMIE jeans

Hellooo!! Here I am once again. This new post (which might have come a little late) is based on some of the new stuff I've purchased recently. 

For those of you who don't know, about a month ago I moved out to Barcelona for UNI. I was very excited about this. A big city like Barcelona meant having some of my favourite shops and cafeterias just minutes away from home and being able to go out more. However, moving out isn't that easy and these first weeks of being an independent University student I've struggled to save up money for myself without having to ask my parents for more (Guess what? I totally failed. Thanks mum and dad).

Nevertheless, a new season has started and I needed some new clothes. If there's one thing I am addicted to is at making lists. I am a weirdo about lists. I write down everything that comes to my mind on a list (I have a small notebook just for it, that says it all). So, as you can imagine, I also have a rather long wish list of clothes and stuff I want/need. A pair of ankle boots and the denim JAMIE jeans from Topshop were in it. I soon spotted some cheap ankle boots in Zara and I couldn't restrain myself. It was a need. That is why, one afternoon my best friend and I decided it was the day. In a matter of minutes we were in the city centre and quickly stepped into Topshop. After a few minutes of drooling all over the place, and also crying a bit inside for not being able to buy anything else, we both left the shop with a new pair of blue jeans in hand. And they are the comfiest pair of jeans I have owned. They are quite stretchy, highwasted and they even have ripped knees!! I totally recommend them if you like looking good without leaving aside comfort. The JAMIE jeans are stretchy and they adjust perfectly and they are really nice for an everyday wear, because they basically go with everything!

I wasn't done yet though. Before heading to Starbucks to spend the evening talking and gossiping with some coffee (how white girly of us!!) I needed to get those ankle boots. And indeed, two minutes later I was in Zara trying them on for like the sixth time (don't tell me I am the only one who does that). I asked Claudia questions such as: "Yes or no?", "Do you really like them?", "For sure?", "What would you do?", for about ten times, until I finally made up my mind. In the end, after debating myself between wether I should get them or not, I did. And I do not regret it. I could not resist to such a cheap price!! (29,95€ It may not be THAT cheap, but it definitely is for a pair of shoes from Zara). A week and a half after having purchased them I am more than glad I did. They make your legs look slim and the chunky heel is amazing, it gives an elegant touch to the look without being too preppy. They are perfect for an everyday wear and they also go with everything, since they are black!! I have worn them almost everyday to UNI since I bought them (I might have become a bit obsessed... Or maybe I am just too excited for autumn). They also keep your feet warm, even if your wear them with not so thick socks. They've kept mine warm these days that it has been a bit more chilly and rainy in Barcelona.

This is all I have for now. I am SO excited for autumn. These are just some of the pieces I have started to acquire for the season and I cannot wait for colder days to come and finally pulling out of the wardrobe my coat and all of my scarves!! (Okay, I am far too excited). Let me know if you're looking forward to it too, and which are your essential pieces for the season. :)

Dearly, Cristina x
