Autumn Haul

A few days ago I traveled to Czech republic, where I study at university, to do necessary stuff before the school year starts. Since my school doesn't start till October I've clearly had a few free days. And shopping happened! And I went a little crazy! That's what happens when you go to town looking for wallpapers that would perfectly suit your room and you end up in completely different section you initially planned on. Even though I spent a lot of money (it may not seem like a lot, but it definitely is for my wallet!) I am very happy with my purchases and I can't wait to wear them! 


Sweater - Reserved | Leather skirt - Reserved

First two items I put my hands on are both from Reserved. That's the place where I shop A LOT! 
Sweaters are something I love wearing in autumn so obviously I lay my eyes on every single one that stands in my way! It didn't take long for me to decide whether I want to try this one on or not. All the shades of grey are incredibly well put together and complemented with a leather-like stripe on a sleeve which adds a slight edge to the sweather.

Skirts have never really been my thing, but lately I've been trying to pull them off simply because I love them on other people. I went straight on with a leather skater skirt! I was very unsure when I was walking with it in my hand to the changing room. What a surprise it was for me when I saw it on me! It looks amazing on! This fake leather skirt with a stretch on a waist is definitely one of the items I will be wearing till crows ripp it into pieces! 


Sweater - F&F | Dress - F&F

Who would say you can find such unique pieces in F&F! Not me! I remember my mum talking about this store and I remember my face impression. I simply couldn't believe somebody would go shopping there. I imagined it as very poor second hand shop. How wrong was I! Once I proved myself wrong, I fell in love!

Knitted cropp top in plain whitish colour! Is there anything else that need to be said? I think that's enough! But anyway, let me spill a few more compliments! First thing that came to my mind once I threw the sweater on was 'Damn, it's warm!' I believe I will be able to wear this just be itself with no jacket or coat throughout the whole autumn, maybe even not so cold winter, it's that thick! 

Oh, the dress! My very good and persuasive friend told me to try it on and in the end convinced me to buy it. And I don't regret this buy! It's something completely different than what I normally wear but why not put a little twist to your wardrobe? Therefore, here comes checked school-uniform-like dress with a fake leather collar and I have no idea how I'm gonna style it! It's a challenge and I'm excited what's gonna come out of it! Unfortunately, I couldn't find it online. It perhaps may not be available anymore since I bought it on sale.


Jacket - F&F

No, we're not done with F&F! I've been on search for this kind of jacket for the longest time ever! Army looking, khaki coloured jacket with leather-like sleeves! That's exactly what I've been wanting. You can imagine the joy when I found it! Finally! 
However, first time I found it, they didn't have it in my size anymore. All sold out! No wonder, right? Only few days after, when I went to another F&F shop (without knowing there is another one in town) I came across it again. I was saying all the prayers while flicking through these jackets looking for my size. Lucky me, they had it!
What is perfect about this jacket (or coat?) is that it's suitable for autumn as much as for winter!


On our way out of the shopping centre we spotted a little shop with very cheap books! Cheapest of them all! I bought three of all the shop offered and if I hadn't already had my hands full of bags, I would probably buy even more. I paid less than 4 euros altogether! They're all written in Czech language, however, if you're wondering here are their titles in their original languages.
