☼♡SUMMER HAUL♡☼

It's summer and you have all the time to shop! And trust me, shopping is all I did this summer. And what's the next thing to do after you shop? Do a Summer Haul blog! This is the first time I'm ever doing a haul , and I was so excited to do it. And usually on my Instagram, and on my Snapchat, some people have been asking where I purchased the clothes or shoes I wear, and here's your chance to find out.

It's summer and it's gonna be very hot, so you have to opt for clothes with cotton-y fabric, and with lighter colors and also clothes that are much shorter, and shows much more skin. Like for me I mostly wear denim shorts, usually high-waisted ones, and then pair it with crop tops, but if you ever feel a little conscious, you can always cover it up with a cardigan, or a sweater, but you would feel very hot, trust me. And this summer, I have developed a strong liking to rompers, and off shoulder tops.

Here are all some of the clothes that I recently bought in my favorite stores, and I'm gonna be wearing them in the near future. Along with some bags, and shoes and other stuff.

Bershka:

First I'm gonna show what I bought in Bershka, and I bought a lot in there, I may a have a little a bit of a problem. It is my favorite store after all.

I bought a high neck top, with the words " No Talking Before Coffee ". I didn't buy it because it has those words written on it , because I just don't want people talking to me at all in the morning, I'm just not a morning person, and I'll probably snap at you once you talk to me, or worse ask me questions, but that's not the case here, sorry. No, I bought it because it was really cute, and it was black, and my clothes are usually black. And I just loved it and I just wanted to have it. It was inexpensive so there's no problem with that. You can pair this with any jeans, or shorts.

The next thing I bought, is this crop top with a pocket with the words " My Dog Is Cooler Than Yours " . It was really adorable, and I just thought it was funny and true, my dog is really cool and it's pastel blue, and I'm really into pastel colors lately , and it is best to wear this with white bottoms or any light colored bottoms. This is by far the best thing I bought in Bershka, I'm probably gonna wear it a lot.

This is that last top that I purchased in Bershka, and it is also a high neck top, but with short sleeves. Not the best thing to wear in Summer, I know, but its gray, and I just love dark colored clothing, and I'm guilty as charged. It also has a text written on it, I don't why I keep buying this kind of tops. It has " Boyfriend? What's that? Food? " written across it, and it was just so cute, and I just loved it. I paired this with my black ripped Joni jeans from Topshop , or you can just wear this with any dark high-waisted jeans or shorts, and it is so Instagram, Tumblr, and We Heart it worthy. It is also inexpensive.

As for the bottoms, I bought high-waisted jeggings, and I bought two because it was inexpensive. I bought one in white, and one in light blue. I thought the white jeggings, were so plain and boring, so I slit the knee area, and it was actually my first time, ripping my own jeans. Good thing I did well. I paired both jeggings, with light colored tops. It's just really cute and inexpensive, so I got those.

And at last but not least, I got something that I never thought I'll ever get, it's a bomber jacket! It's just really trendy, and I just love that it's khaki green, and it goes perfectly well with everything. I know it's not really for summer, but I just have to have it. And I've been into bomber jackets lately, and I want to collect more of these. And good thing I found it in Bershka, it was a little pricey, but it was worth it.

As for the accessories, I got a cactus phone case , and I'm just really addicted to phone cases, and cactuses, and when I saw that phone case, I literally shrieked, and just snatched it in the rack, and begged my mom to buy it for me. I mean come on, it's a bunch of cactuses on a phone case, how can I not buy that?

Forever 21:

I bought a lot of crop tops, and none of them cost too much, so I saved a lot of money buying these tops.

The first thing that I bought at Forever 21, is this gray ribbed sleeveless crop top, and I've been wanting to buy a gray top, to pair it with my black jeans, or any dark washed jeans, and I just think that you can just wear this is a lazy outfit, when you don't feel like dressing up so much, and again it's not that expensive.

This is another sleeveless knitted crop top, and this time, it's creamy white, and again you can wear this with high-waisted jeans or shorts, and when you don't feel like dressing up.

The last top I purchased, is this pink striped crop top, and it's probably one of my favorite tops at the moment, and you can pair this with white jeans, or any light washed jeans or shorts. And I really love this one.

Next, I bought these really adorable pajama shorts, it's really soft and comfy, and it has bunnies all over it. I loved it so much. I actually saw a sweater that matches with these pajama shorts, but we were in a rush, so I didn't get it. And there was also a onesie!

Pull and Bear:

The first thing I got is this boat neck top or an off-shoulder top, it's black and it is cropped. I was never really the off-shoulder type, but when I saw this top, I was like why not try something new? and since then I wanted to buy more tops like these. I decided that I should also pair this top with any light-washed high-waisted jeans or shorts.

I also got this Guns & Roses cropped muscle tee, it's kind of a gray acid-washed type of color, and I don't really like muscle tees, but I do like Guns & Roses, and it was on sale, so I just have to get it. It's a muscle tee, so you have to have a bandeau underneath it, and you can pair this with any dark washed jeans or shorts.

And I got another thing , that I don't usually get, a knitted sweater, because it is inconvenient to wear it here in the Philippines. It's cropped,

( again ) and it's soft and comfy, and it's pink, and for some reason, I'm starting to like pink more and more everyday. And again it was on sale. You can wear this with light washed jeans or shorts.. (again)

The last thing I bought, is this light washed high waisted shorts. Funny story actually, I first bought this white tank top, with the words

" YES, YES " with a pastel pink background, but after trying it on for so many times, I started to hate it, so I exchanged it with this oversized white t-shirt, with a Japanese word written on the right sleeve, and

" I hate you " on the front, and " but I love you " on the back, and it has a rip on the lower left. It was too big, it was too oversized for me. So again I exchanged it with the high-waisted shorts, and I just settled for that . I recommend you wear this with a white crop top, then cover it up with a cardigan.

H&M:

By the way, H&M was my favorite shop, but then my style was changing and I liked the new collections that they have in Bershka, so I went from H&M and Topshop to Bershka and Pull and Bear.

I got this top, and kinda has this kind of tribal print on it, that I couldn't describe. I wanted more sleeveless tops, so I got that. You can wear this with black jeans or shorts.

The next thing I got is this halter jumpsuit from their Coachella collection, this is actually the first romper I got since I was a kid, And it was really cute, and it's light and has this cotton fabric, so you won't feel too hot, and it just ties around your neck, and also it has this slit on the back, but if you're not the type to show your back, like me, you can always wear a bandeau underneath, or you can also use this a throw on for your bikini or swimsuit, so it's great for Summer. So get your sunglasses, and your lace up sandals, gladiators, or your ballet flats, and you're good to go.

Sometimes I feel conscious with my arms, so whenever I wear halters, or sleeveless tops, I cover up with cardigans, so I got this fine knit gray cardigan, its goes with everything, and it's super inexpensive, which makes it better.

Then I recently bought this knit cream top, and why not do a last minute shopping before summer ends? I thought it was really cute, and I have been looking everywhere for this top. Although it was little pricey. But again it was worth it.

The last thing I got, is this black jersey dress. I bought this the same time I bought the knitted top, and again I have been looking everywhere for a black bodycon dress. This dress just hugs your curves very well, and I just love that.

Garage:

There's not really a Garage Store anywhere, like here in the Philippines, but you can still get these items anywhere.

I bought two high-waisted shorts, in white and dark blue-washed , and these are really cute, and the other one was on sale. You can pair these shorts with any colored top

And I also got a pair of light blue washed high-waisted ripped jeans, I got it in a small size, at first, it fits well, but then it shrunk in the wash. But it's still cute so I'd still wear it.

Zara:

I actually don't know why I bought this top because I have the same top just like it, except it's a little more fitted and cropped, so I regretted buying it afterwards , and I don't why I still kept it.

Footlocker & Suns and Sands Sports:

I have always wanted to have this jacket, and luckily I found it in Suns and Sands Sports, and they have a Buy 1 and Get 1 sale going on, and I was so happy that my dad bought it for me. It was on sale, but it was still expensive, but hey you don't just look at it, practically beg your dad to buy it, and not actually get it.

I also got a new pair of Adidas Tubulars, it was on sale, and I needed new shoes, so I bought that along with the jacket. And I'm just in love with it.

Then I got this cropped sweater from Adidas, and it has the Adidas Originals logo on it, and it has the another logo and these numbers on the right sleeve, and it was aesthetic and very pretty.

I also got two Adidas Originals t-shirts, it was a buy 1 get 1 sale, so I got the other for free. It's really cute, especially the pink one (obvi).

And my last clothing item is a pair of Adidas leggings , and it has the word Adidas and the logo written on the bottom part of it, and this is good for a lazy outfit, or you can wear it for your morning jog, or your workout.

Accessories:

Mango:

I bought this black leather backpack, with a little bit of a velvet-y detail on it, and it was so pretty, and I wanted to buy a new leather backpack in this size.

Michael Kors:

My mom recently bought me this wallet in Bahrain, as a very early birthday present, and it's so pretty, and it has a lot of space, it even has it's own space for my phone. And it's the first Micheal Kors item that I own, so I love it so much, and it's probably gonna be my most used wallet.

Phone Cases :

This is by far, my favorite case, and I bought it in Victoria Secret, it's like a snow globe-inspired case but with pink glitters, that glistens every time you shake it. It's just so pretty, and of course, it's pink.

I got this Victoria Secret replica rubber phone case, and it's black and white , and Victoria Secret written on the bottom right, and it's adorable and inexpensive.

Then I got this Lumee case , it's black, and it lights up, it's good for selfies, it's a little bit on the pricey side, but if you want a good selfie you can always use this case.

Pandora:

We were actually in the airport, and I asked my mom to come with me in Pandora, and I just saw this Princess Tiara ring, that I've been wanting to have ever since. It was a little big, but I asked my mom to buy it anyway, because when you want it, you want it.

Beauty Items:

Victoria Secret:

There was a huge sale, so I bought so many perfumes, and I'm not even sure if I'll use it all, so I guess I'm just going to sell it, or give it away as a gift.

I also got a lotion from PINK, It's called Blackcurrant and Peony. It's really cute, and it smells so great, it is infused with aloe, oat and grapeseed extracts.

Bath and Body Works:

Again there was a big sale, and I got two lotions, I got the Guava Fresca and Moonlight Path body lotions, and both of these lotions smell so great.

Then I got two sanitizers, Juicy Georgia Peach, I really love peaches, and getting a sanitizer that smells like it, is amazing. I also got the Cinnamon Spiced Vanilla, of course, it smells like Cinnamon, and it smells really good, and if it was edible, I would eat it.

Lush:

I got my favorite shampoo, Daddy-o, it's purple so it cute, and it stops your hair from being brassy, and it keeps my colored hair, vibrant and shiny.

I got this soap called " Rock Star ". Guess why I bought it? IT'S PINK! No, I'm kidding that's not the only reason, it's vanilla scented, and it is decorated with soap stars embedded inside.

Chanel:

My mom bought me this Chanel No. 5 lotion, I actually wanted to buy the perfume, but they ran out of stock, so I picked the lotion instead, and it's actually nice, it smells great, and I always wanted to have a Chanel item. And I really couldn't afford the bags, so why not start with a lotion?

Cosmetics:

Dior:

I forgot what this shade is called, but it's kind of a red-ish, pinkish shade, I actually regretted buying this, because it looks awful on me, so I just gave it to my mom, and she loves Dior as well.

Books:

Everything, Everything. This book is really different from all the books I have read. I would definitely recommend it to you guys. It's really good, and it's a love story too. You would love it.

Love Rosie. I'm not really done with this one, but I would say that it is so different compared to the movie. Like really different. Only a few parts of the book were actually in the movie. But it's still a must-read, but I really prefer the movie.

I'll Give you the Sun. I haven't read this one yet, but based on the summary, I think it I would like it, and it's also different from all the other books that I have read.

Username Evie. I actually bought this one for my brother, but that doesn't mean I won't read it. It's kind of like a comic book, and it was written by Joe Sugg, one of my favorite YouTubers. I've heard it's really good, so I can't wait to read it.

And there you go! My first haul blog, it was really fun doing this, and exhausting too. My room has really bad lighting, so I had to go to our balcony to do this, and it was really hot. I guess I'll do anything for my blog! The clothes in this blog are not necessarily for summer, the items that are in here are the things I bought during Summer, so I'm sorry for the confusion there. So this was fun and get ready for more hauls.

Next Haul Blog: Phone Case HAUL!

Love Always, Janine
