Haul ✿

Haul ✿

So this week I'm here with a haul blog post, showing you all the things I've bought over the past month! This is my first haul on my blog so I hope you enjoy it! 

Primark:
Although it's not my favourite place to shop, half my wardrobe is built up with Primark items and recently they've have had some real gems so I went on a little spree! 

Firstly I got this pinky peach shirt that was on sale for either £2 or £5. The first thing I noticed about it was the colour and the cute gold dots. I also love the peter pan collar. It's fits fine apart from the chest area which is really annoying, I was going to exchange it for a bigger size but this was the last one there. Oh well, I'll find some way to style it. 

I came across this vest and I just fell in love with it straight away, it's very similar to the Topshop shirt that I showed in my previous blog post except it's not a shirt, it's a vest. Haha. I think it's a great piece for the summer and has that porcelain, china look about it. I can see it going well with pretty much everything; I'm happy with this purchase. This was £4.

Okay, there's something about these baseball inspired tees that I just love! I love the print, I think it's so cool, the only thing I would say about this is that it's wayyyy to long so I may have to do a bit of DIY on this baby! This was £3.

Next up is the black sheer shawl which I totally fell in love with. I've got my eyes peeled for a floor length sheer kimono because I think they're gorgeous but I found this for £5 or £6, forgive me if I'm wrong, I honestly can't remember. Naughty blogger. 

I've had my eye on a full length maxi skirt for a very long time but I didn't want to have to pay the earth just in case I didn't like it but luckily good old Primark came up trumps and I found this black pleated one for a tenner! Bargin! 

I had been on the hunt for a tartan scarf and was planning to get one from H&M but I saw this in Primark for £2 in the sale and I couldn't resist!

I found this super dainty cross necklace and picked it up for a bargainous £2!

I'm loving Primark jewellery at the moment, I'm seriously impressed with the quality and design, they're quite unique for once! All these necklaces were £3 each I think all in the sale. The furthest to the left is absolutely gorgeous, everytime I went into Primark I kept seeing it and it was getting cheaper and cheaper so I seized the day and purchased it! The gold disc necklace is possibly the best purchase I've made in a while, it goes with absolutely everything and looks amazing! The necklace to the right I bought because I loved the crystal look but it's harder to style than the others.

Rubber neon chain bracelets were £2.50 and I fell in love with them, they will look great for summer! 

The simple cross earrings £1, a staple pair of earrings in my opinion. 

Set of 12 earrings £2.50. Love the triangles, the peace signs and the hamsa hands. 

Galaxy rock ring was £2 I think..I love statement rings and this one is great! 

Okay that's all for Primark, now onto Topshop!

Every girl needs a pair of Topshop Leigh Jeans in their wardrobe, LYKE SRSLY. They are super light and really comfortable and I'm sooo pleased with this purchase, I think I'm going to have to invest in a darker pair soon! These were £38.

Okay, so you know when you see something for the first time and fall in love with it? Well, that happened. I saw this in store and it was like love at first sight. It's by the concession Tea and Cake who do amazing graphic tees like this! I need to find ways of being more adventurous with this top but I am so so so pleased with it! £25.

Now onto jewellery, apologies for the sausage fingers. I have been so intrigued by these bracelet rings and I think they look gorgeous but I never had the balls to wear one. Luckily I found this in the Topshop sale for like £3! BARGIN. I still haven't worn it though, I'm waiting for the weather to warm up a bit. 

Also in the Topshop sale I bought these earrings, GIANT hoops which I love and dainty ombre dangly earrings. They were both £2 each or something, or £3...I can't remember. The hoops will be great for summer if I can brave having my hair up! 








Then a quick dash to River Island!

In River Island I found the most amazing purse; lime green. Flippin gorgeous. There is also a matching bag but I won't get too ahead of myself, this purse was £10.
I also found an above knuckle ring set for only £2! Unfortunately I got a bit excited and forgot to check the size, so I'll have to go and exchange it for something that actually fits! 

And last, my 'beautiful, worth every penny' purchase is this gorgeous ZARA bag.

This is the Office City bag from Zara and I absolutely adore it! It was a hefty £49.99 but it's totally worth it! It's the perfect size for me to fit all my college books and pencil cases in, it also has a middle compartment to fit a mac book! Unfortunately I don't have a mac book, I tried fitting my laptop in there but I had no such luck. It's not good for carrying wider stuff in, like SLR Cameras or fleece pyjamas..I know, I've tried. Haha. If you're considering purchasing ANY Zara bag, go for it, they're such lovely quality and worth every penny!



So that's it from me, was a pretty long haul but I hadn't been shopping in forever, I got some great things, especially for summer which I'm super excited about, if it even decides to arrive in England this year(!). I hope you guys enjoyed this blog post, if you did then let me know and I shall continue making more like this!

Summer in the Winter ✿

Fairly late blog post, apologies. BUT I went to college on Monday dressed like it was summer, big mistake, I was pretty cold for most of the day. Haha, I hope you enjoy!

This jersey maxi skirt is a lot warmer than a sheer maxi skirt but I still don't think it was appropriate for winter weather as I was absolutely freezing, haha. I really love this outfit though and is perfectly adaptable for spring and summer!

Pleather jacket: Primark // Vest : Primark // Maxi skirt: Primark //
Shoes: Converse // Bag: Zara // Necklace: Primark

Wishlist ✿

Wish list for Feb 2013:

First of all, a black cami! I think everyone needs one of these in their summer wardrobe, they're perfect for layering with or on their own, they're so simple and so versatile that whatever your style, it's bound to go with everything! I need need need one of these! 

Next up, a pair of jeans, I need a lighter pair of jeans, I only have dark jeans atm and as much as I do love them, I need to transition my colours into spring! You can't go wrong with a pair of Topshop Leigh jeans so I think I'm going to have to invest in a pair! 

A colourful blazer. Now for Spring/Summer, I feel like neon is going to be really popular again and I think a neon or bright coloured blazer is an essential. The H&M blazers are such good quality and at an affordable price, one of these wont go amiss! 

Porcelain style shirt. I saw this shirt in Topshop and is designed as an oversized, flowy shirt and I just fell in love with it. I can imagine it going really well with jeans and sandals with a pair of round sunglasses and a fedora hat..oh yes, gorgeous. 

Cobalt blue! One of my favourite colours for nails at the moment! I have my eye on one from Essie, it's the perfect colour I'm looking for. 

River Island bag. River Island have some really gorgeous bags in at the moment and this clutch/shoulder bag is so gorgeous. It would be good for day trips where you don't need to carry much or nights out (not that I'm old enough to go on any, haha.) I do really like this bag and would love to have it but I need a slightly bigger bag that I'm going to get use out of. I have my eye on a few Zara bags, we shall see! 

Lipstick! For spring/summer I would really love a neutral, pinkier nude lipstick as I wanted to have a very effortless make up look this season. I want to keep my makeup minimal with glowing skin and soft colour on the lips. I'm sure I'll pick one of these up soon.

Ankle socks! Now I need a pair of these frilly ankle socks as I have a pair of River Island platform shoes that I adore but are hard to wear with normal socks! I think a pair of socks like this will add a cutsie twist to any outfit and will look fab even with open toe wedges or trainers etc.  


That's all I want this month (not much(!) haha). I hope you guys enjoyed this style of blog post, if you have any suggestions, please leave them in the comments below!
