holiday haul

First of all, this post wasn't meant to be a haul, insted it was meant to be an outfit/photography post but I couldn't get my desktop to work which has photoshop on it. So I have to do that at school tomorrow. Right, on to the haul. This is a collective haul, all of which is for my holiday next monday. It looked like a lot more in the bags, that might be because I haven't included some items as they were quite boring and also because some were underwear. I did buy a super cute crop top from Topshop in the sale but when I got home I realised it had a whole in it so it has to be taken back. All the things I got were all reasonably cheap because I didn't want to spend a great amount before my holiday, so if you see some items you like you won't feel as bad about buying them.

No. 7 eyeshadow brush from boots was £6.75 but I had a £5 voucher so it was only £1.75 which is a massive bargin. The quality is amazingly good.

All these beauty items are from Superdrug or Wilkinson and are all relatively cheap, I can't remember the prices off of the top of my head. The shirt is from Primark and cost £6, its quite sheer so I'd deffinitely put a cami underneath, but I am also planning to wear it as a cover up by the pool.




These are both from Newlook. The top was £1.99 and the dress was £14.99, both are very good prices. The top is more of a burgundy colour and is super soft, they have them in a range of colours. The dress is quite sheer when you put it on, but it's still wearable.


The top is from River Island and was £7.99 because it had £7 off, not sure if they still sell them because I got this before they started their massive sale. The shorts are from Topshop and were £26 but I got them for £20.80 because it was 20% for students that week. They still sell the shorts and although they are labelled as hotpants they aren't as short as other hotpants I have tried in Topshop.





I have fallen in love with these sunglasses! I didn't think they would suit me at first but when I tried them on they looked perfect. They were £13.99 from River Island, so not too expensive for sunglasses, especially as they are quite good quality ones. The case was also from River Island and was £4 in the sale, which I thought was a bargin. They had loads of them in a box by the tills, so go check it out.


Lastly, I got a bikini from Newlook whic was £7.99 for the bottoms and £12.99 for the top, but I did get a student discount so it was slightly cheaper. They are sold as seperates but they only had the same size for both top and bottom left, but I tried it on and it fitted me perfectly which was pretty lucky.

Sorry for the long post but I didn't want to not do a post if that makes sense? Also sorry for the poor quality of the some of the photos, I took them when it was getting dark so some of the colours didn't show up properly.

I'm back

Hello all. Sorry for the absence of blog posts over the past week, I have been in Devon staying with my family. It was absolutely lovely and I enjoyed every minute of it. The weather was brilliant as well, which meant lots of days spent on the beach eating ice cream. I do have a slight tan as well! On the Tuesday I went shopping in Exeter and came back with quite a few items that I'm very pleased with. I will hopefully get round to doing some outfit posts with these clothes soon.
1. cotton high waisted shorts £7.99 H&M
2. pleated skirt £15.99 Zara
3. cotton cardigan £9.99 H&M
4. nude vest £4.99 H&M
5/6. lace top £8 Primark
7. floral print bra £7 Primark
9. floral wire headband £4.99 Newlook
(I had already worn the shorts and cardigan before I took the photos so thats why they look creased and misshapen)

essentials

So I did go shopping this weekend! But don't get too excited, it was only for essentials, so no new clothes to show you all I'm afraid. I did buy a new shampoo that I've never come across before though, it's called Scandalous big & beautiful volumising shampoo. Its not the usual kind of shampoo I'd buy, but it was on special offer so I thought why not treat myself. It's also quite a big bottle so it should hopefully last quite a while too. Whilst I was in Superdrug I couldn't resist looking at the makeup section, and I was immediately drawn to the bright blue, glittery, Barry M nail paint. I love, love, love glitter so had to put it in the basket.

While I was in town I went into Lush and asked about what cleanser would be best for my skin and came away with a sample of herbalism. I have to say this now, it absolutely stinks! I hope it works though, because my skin has been really bad over the past few months and just keeps getting worse. Fingers crossed.

OK, so I couldn't go out to the shops and just buy essentials. I went to Newlook (where they had completely re-done the whole store since my last visit) and fell in love with these black espadrille wedges. They are a canvas material with a buckle strap round the ankle, I think they are perfect for the summer months but also suitable for wearing when I go out in the evenings. I can't stop wearing them round the house, just need some summer weather now.

happy days

This weekend has been pretty darn good, on Friday night I went round my friend Bex's new house for a party. I ended up staying over with a couple of other people and I must admit it was funny looking at all the photos from the night the before together. I got home took a quick shower and headed out again to a mates house for the afternoon, which was also very lovely. Then on Sunday me and my mum went out to town to get some stuff and I ended up spending quite a bit of money.
1. two door cinema club album from the HMV sale
2.primark boots (i might return these, but haven't made up my mind yet)
3/4. peter pan collar floral dress in the sale from newlook. I tried this on a few months ago but didn't have the money to buy it so I was delighted when I found it in the sale.
5. black primark cami top, calvin klein pants and a Rene Rofe bra
6. dream mat mouse foundation which I tried for the first time on Friday night and fell in love with it. Colour FX blue temporary hair dye to use on the ends of my hair

almost forgot, this is the video of photos from Friday night, feel free to watch
