Primark haul

Ok so I haven't posted for ages due to being red ridden and ill for the past few weeks so haven't worn or bought anything to blog about. I'm a bit better now so mum took me out to Westfield merry hill for a little shopping spree. Here's what I bought the other day and what I wore today



Top - Primark ; Necklace - Ebay ; Shirt - Charity shop



So I love this tropical/chain/leopard top, reminds of Versace prints. It's a beautiful material and I've seen a few similar in Topshop. I felt it could easily be dressed up or down and I love the contrast black band on the collar.



Ok I'll admit I do adore Harry Styles, but even I'm not crazy enough to wear this out the house. I got the biggest size possible and I plan to wear in bed. It's a big slouchy boyfriend style roll sleeve so perfect for lounging around in.



This Star wars tee was from the mens section and I think it looks quite "vintage" wouldn't think it's from Primark (hopefully). It was only £6 and as a massive Star wars fan I just couldn't resist it.



I've seen quite a few online brands do their version of this top (basically the same) for £40+ and this was in the sale for £3. It's a slim fit, so tighter than I'm used to, but nothing some high waisted jeans/leggings/shorts won't solve.



Sorry for the poor picture, I know black doesn't photograph very well. But this is a black ripped crop, identical to the ones selling in Topshop at the moment for £8, only this one is a bit longer and only £3. I have the topshop one too and I honestly think this Primark version is better (for me anyway) as it's a tiny bit longer and no worries of underboob!



I recently bought the Topshop version of these shoes (luckily for £10) and they aboslutely kill my feet, I'm going to put them on ebay or depop. So I'm pleased I went for it and bought these for £10. They're the comfiest "geek" shoes I've ever owned, even without socks.



I said I liked Star wars ;) this is an all over print and a lovely "scuba" fabric so nice and thick. Haven't seen a Star wars top like this before so I had to get it. As usual I bought it oversized so I can wear it as a tee dress if I wanted as it's long line.




Everyone who knows me, knows I can't resist a dog print. So when I saw this pyjama set and matching onesie I just had to have them. Perfect for summer into winter.


And last but not least, my Mickey mouse fleecy pyjamas. Can never have too many cozy pjs and I love the colour and print on the trousers.
So that's my little Primark haul, I bought a few socks and boring bits too, but you get the idea.

May update

Top - River Island ; Necklace - Topshop

I bought this top last payday, it's only £12 and couldn't resist it, such a perfect shape and print for summer! So far I've worn it with distressed high waist shorts for drinks at a pub and with disco pants and a long sheer kimono from H&M for a night out. Really liking River Island for summer clothes at the moment.



Lipstick - Barry M Black (37) ; Necklace - Ebay ; Top - Topman

I've really got used to wearing black lipstick, thought I'd get a Barry M one as it's only £5 incase I didn't use it much, but im tempted to get the Illamasqua one, purely because I find Barry M lipsticks need reapplying regularly and I don't seem to have the problem with Illamasqua.



Duvet & Surprise pack - Primark

I was actually looking to buy a new shirt for my friend but saw this pug duvet and couldn't resist! I have the primark pug duvet from last year but this one is so realistic and cute I just needed it for this summer.
When I got to the tills I saw this Adventure Time surprise pack and anyone who knows me knows I'm obsessed with this show so I had to buy it! Not really bought much or been out much this month to be honest, hense hardly any updates :)

This week in Accessories

Necklace - Ebay

I wear this necklace all the time, I always browse Ebay for new chokers and it's full of these velvet ones. I went for the moon because it isn't too over the top and can be worn with pretty much anything and isn't so intricate that you can't tell what it is, which I find with some charms. It cost me about £4-5 with postage but theres just nowhere on the high street that does this simple style



Sunglasses - Topshop unique

I bought these sunglasses a few years ago because I love the John Lennon style round glasses and thought these were a bit different because of the frame so I didn't mind spending over £20 for them (which is a lot for me the spend on glasses)



Velvet hair bow and Hello Kitty hairbands - The little bag company

I saw these while shopping for a mother's day gift and couldn't resist them. I have to have my hair up for work and I get bored with the same style everyday so new cute hair accessories is always welcome. They came to £2-something in total so I was pleased

January compilation

Ok so I've been mega busy this Jan with work, birthdays etc and I dont wanna do lots of little posts so I'll just do a little compilation of what I've been upto/wearing/buying

Hair chalk - Ebay
I bought this hair chalk just as the new loreal chalks lauched but couldn't justify spending £15, these were only £3 from ebay.
You do have to wet the hair before uing these, and it does damage and dry the hair out. I probably won't use them again since my hair is dip dyed and I don't want the blonde to get too damaged. But for £3 I'm pleased I tried them.

Shoe - Topshop @ Next2nowt.com
I wanted these "geek" shoes for ages, but they're so expensive at the moment and I saw my size on Next2nowt and couldn't resist them (all sold out now) I've only worn them twice so far because of the rain, but they're so comfy. Exactly what I expect from Topshop shoes. Thanks to this website though I refuse to pay full price for shoes in Topshop without checking Next2nowt first.

Midi rings - Rock n Rose

This is actually my first purchase from Rock n Rose, even though I lust over their jewellery all the time it's just too expensive for me since I tend to misplace a lot. But these rings are in the sale for £9 and I had a 50% sale items code from their instagram so I could buy them without feeling guilty. I also picked up the "Pixie lott 'HOLLY'" necklace. Theres more I want but I managed to be good and only buy 2 items

Nail varnish - Illamasqua in "Harsh"
Over Christmas I've become obsessed with Illamasqua makeup, their foundation works beautifully on my skin, since trying their lipsticks I wont buy from anywhere else and their nail varnish is just as impressive. I managed to bag this varnish in the sale for £5 which is amazing seeing as it's back up to £16.50, just wish I'd bought more in the sale.
In this picture I only have one coat on and it's lasted me over a week. This shade is matte enough to wear on its' own but would also look beautiful as a top coat, im dying to try it with a nude and "Harsh" on the tips. Totally worth the £16.50 if you can find a shade you're going to use alot.

So that's what I've bought in January that's worth mentioning but not big enough to have their own posts :)

Varsity

Shirt (worn underneath) - Forever 21 | T shirt - Primark | Necklace - Miss Selfridge | Tights - Primark | Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell | Earrings - Topshop

I love this top, I took inspiration from the wonderful Nicola Roberts and wore it as a dress with my hair and makeup done and killer heels. Perfect for a "fat day" and when you wanna go out but you wanna look casual. I wore this to a pub then to a club. I added the shirt underneath to make it less casual and look more expensive than it was (tee was only £6) I added tights with a boarder round the thighs to make it more interesting if it rode up at all. I added my trusty long Miss selfridge cross necklace because I felt it needed a long necklace and this is my fail safe option. I wore my Topshop peace earrings because I've had them over a year and never found an outfit where they wouldn't look too OTT. I get so many compliments on these JC's whenever I wear them, sadly they give me blisters but they went so well this outfit. Tbh my boyfriend wasn't thrilled when I pulled this out my wardrobe but if you arnt feeling a tight dress and wanna be casual then I think its a cute look.
