October Primark haul.

Hi everyone,
 last Saturday I went on a trip to primark to get a few things for autumn, I didn't actually see a massive amount that I liked, but they did have some things that I loved! 


First up are these tights which I bought for halloween to wear with this dress.


They're meant to be over the knee, but on me they ended up being just below, however I'm sure they'll still do the job, they were really cheap as well so I can't really complain! 

Another legwear oriented purchase were these socks; 


These are so cute and I already know how I want to wear them, hopefully I can "rock my keds and tube socks" ;)

I've finally got round to buying a new pair of black jeans, my zara ones have seriously faded!

These are in the Topshop `Joni` style and are so comfy.They were a snip at £10 as well, I need to get a few more pairs I think! 

This is one of my favourite purchases of late, I've been looking for a velvet skirt for a while and I finally found one!


The colour is so rich and for course it feels really luxurious being velvet. They also had this in a bottle green and navy so if red isn't your cup of tea I'm sure one of them would be! 

If you read this post, you would have realised that I have a lot of love for tartan at the moment, hence the next two tops. As this is a monochrome piece, it is going to go with so much, and also, it's got a collar! 


The other top I picked was this cropped one; I love the high neck and colours :) I've tried this on with the jeans and it looked so nice, so expect an OOTD soon! 


Finally, I bought some new earrings;


I've already worn these non stop and I love the stud design :) 

So that's what I bought in Primark!

What do you think of these items? What have you been buying lately? 

Don't forget to enter my giveaway!

Haul part two.

Hello my lovelies, it's time for the second part of my haul :) 


The one place I really wanted to visit on my most recent trip was (as ever) Topshop, I tried on a few sale items but they were all too big or just looked weird which was annoying because they had some really nice stuff , so I ended up just picking up two things, but I'm head over heels with what I did buy!

Now this first thing is pretty weird for me; I'm not a fan of leopard print at all, to me personally it just looks tacky, it's something I would never wear, but I seriously love this top!

Topshop strappy red leopard crop top- £10.00 

I think it's because it's not too leopardy, and I love the contrast between the black, white and red. It's a crop top, yes I know, another one, but  I can see myself wearing this all through the (all be it currently non existent) summer. This was only ten pounds as well which I consider brilliant for old Topper's! I must say this whole blogging thing is making me much more open to try things; neon, chains, leopard, what's next I wonder! 

The other thing I treated myself too in topshop was a new lipstick, which is not out of the ordinary at all :p 


Topshop lipstick in `Rio Rio`- £8.00
It looks much more pink in this photo than in person- sorry! 

I decided on the shade `Rio Rio` which I have been eyeing up for a while now. It's a really lovely read and not like any of the others I have in my collection; It's much more orange toned and bright than my other shades, so I love it, it's defo my new baby :). 

I also went to Lush to stock up on a few old favourites; This Yuzu & Coco bubbleroon was the first thing I ever bought from Lush, and I think it's probably the one I love the most!

Lush Yuzu & Coco Bubbleroon- £2.95
If you have never tried this then I urge you too! It smells amazing, I'm not really too sure how to describe it but it always reminds me of white chocolate and general yumminess!

I also decided on `Space girl`;
Lush Space girl bath bomb- £2.10

I love this bath bomb! It always reminds me of palma violets which is just fab :) I also adore the little pink bits of glitter, I mean what's better than a little bit of sparkle in the bath?

I bought these two things when I was in Wales (but I forgot to photograph them last time, doh!) so strictly speaking they shouldn't been in this haul, but I still wanted to show you them.
I bought this tanning mitt for obvious reason, I hope it does the job.
Primark fake tanning mitt- £2.00
I will be sure to report back as and when I use it, which I think will be this weekend as my legs are a pale embarrassment at the moment!

 I've never tried any false nails before, but I couldn't really say no to these considering they were only a pond in Primark, I have no doubt you'll see them in an OOTD soon :).
Primark false nails-£1.00
I'm not entirely sure about this next purchase; I sort of bought these on a whim in Republic and as I'm not one for drop earrings at all I'm not really sure how I feel about them!
Miso at Republic turquoise drop earrings- £3.00 

I do like them and I think with my hair down in a sort of wavy fashion they could look really nice peaking out, you will see how I get on with them if they appear in an outfit post I guess! These were only £3.00 in the sale so it's not like it's going to break the bank if I can't make them work, but I just thought it would be fun to experiment :).

Next and last stops for me was superdrug ( not Boot's I hear you cry, not this time, my bestie is doing her work experience in there, so I went to keep her company :p) I bought some more of my V05 heat protect spray as my current one has almost run out. I love the smell of this and it does a great job of protecting my hair and always leaves it feeling super smooth afterwards.

V05 heat protect spray-£3.69
The V05 range was on offer for two products for £5.00, so I decided to get a new hairspray, I'm not really a big hairspray gal, but I used some of my aunt's one of this last weekend and it left my hair so soft and obviously held my waves really well, so I thought it was time to buy some! 

V05 hairspray-£3.05
The last thing I picked up was the Sleek Contour kit;

Sleek Face contour kit- £6.49
I'm really sorry about the awful quality of this photo, for some reason I can NEVER get a good picture of  Sleek packaging! 

I have been wanting to try this little compact for the longest time, but whenever I went to superdrug it was always out of stock or I would have already spend all my money! However it is now part of my collection and I love it :)  don't want to go into too much detail on it because I'm thinking of doing a review of it so stay tuned for that!

So thats what I have been buying lately and I now have no money again, as per!
I have however started picking up bits for my 50 followers giveaway! I can't tell you now much 50 followers (or as it currently stands 51!) means to me so thank you :)

What do you think of my recent buys?

All around the world, people want to be loved.

 OOTD #1

Happy Saturday! Its been a long, stressful week. I found out yesterday that I attained an A* and an A in my January science exams! I was so happy and relived because I thought I hadn't done well at all ;yay!

Ive had quite a lazy day, I randomly went to Matatlan with my mum & sister, I would do a haul but I didn't get anything very exciting ( just some new underwear and a few pairs of leggings.)
Anyway! onto my outfit:


Coat- Fashion union
Top- Topshop
Jeans- Republic
(completely battered!) Vans- Office
Socks-H&M

This was just centred around being comfy today. I have lived in these jeans lately ( no doubt you'll be seeing more of them!)I love the colour and fit, they go with everything. 

I've had this T-shirt for a little while now, but I wear it at every opportunity, I had been um-ing and ah-ing over it, but I deiced it needed it,even though it was quite pricey. I just love the pattern, I adore vintagey/old fashioned things, so I loved the old atlas print! I just think its really unique and goes with loads.











I've kept my make up quite neutral today. I'm wearing a Bourjois nail polish, annoyingly it doesn't say the colour, but its a gorgeous coral with gold flecks in it. I haven't really gone bold any area on my face ( I normally like bright lips and cat flicks!) but its nice to change it up sometimes.

I thought I would share with you some proof that spring is on its way from my garden!


How have you spent today?
