I got me some new bits and bobs and I thought you guys might to have a gander! I seem to have gone for bright colours, which I suppose isn't a bad thing! It makes a nice to change to the usual blacks and greys. Bring it on the Summer, I say! However, I have now put myself on a spending ban as I'm trying to save up to buy myself a house. I'm 23 this year and I'd love to be able to move out and into my own little place :D.
I took a trip to Primark at the weekend and left with quite a few goodies. They have a really good selection for S/S'13, I definitely recommend nipping down to your local and checking out all the cool shizzle! And to be quite honest I loved everything that I bought, from the rose gold plated sandals to the feminine floral top. If you want to see the clothes in more detail, check out my video below.
I've been doing a bit lot of shopping recently and thought I'd show you guys what goodies I've picked up. I didn't take photos of everything because I'm a lazy noo but I did include them in my video. I hadn't really planned to buy anything. It just so happened that I saw them on my travels and they so happened to jump into my basket, little blighters.
The only thing I really want right now is a nice warm black coat with pockets, mostly for work as that's what I'm lacking. And it's bloody freezing when I get into my car at 5:30am in the mornings. I did have a nosey in town today but all the shops are getting their S/S '13 into stores so I'm probably buggered now.
I bought my first designer purse the other week, yay! This was a total impulse buy, eep. I was at the Cheshire Oaks Outlet and so happened to walk into the Michael Kors shop. I was just having a goosey gander and I came across this purse. It's made from real leather and has rose gold hardware. What more could a girl want! I thought "ahhh, what the heck", you only live once, so I bought it. A few hours later, I got in my car ready to drive off and I thought to myself, I better just check to make sure they had given me the right one. And well I never, they didn't!. They gave me a grey one, so off I popped back to the shop to get the actually one I had ordered, bah. Now all I want is a sexy black Mulberry Effie to go with it. Ohhhhhh.
Lately I've been going a bit shoe mad, it's crazy! I've never normally been that interested in them but now I'm starting to enjoy collecting them. Anywhoo, I've had my eye on these two pairs of shoes for the longest time. I've had them bookmarked on Office for ages but never got around to buying them. Then I saw that they had been reduced right down in the sale and I knew I just had to get them.
The first pair are these Underground Wulfrun Creepers in black and cream suede. They had been £89 but I snapped them up at £40 and I'm so glad I did. They are really well made, really comfy, and quite cool. I'm usually a UK 5.5 in shoes, so I tend to go up to a UK 6, but 6's were far too big and gaping. So I tried a 5 on and they fit perfectly. So if your going to get a pair I'd definitely recommend getting a size down.
The second pair are the Vans Era in red suede and fleece lined. I snapped them up for £28 when they should have been £58. Once again I'm super happy with these. The colour is so vibrant, the suede is soft and the fleece lining is so snuggly and warm on my feet. I also like the brown leather laces. In my opinion these are a little different to your typical Vans and more interesting! Once again I chose to go a size down and buy a UK 5 and they fit perfectly.
I'm so happy with my purchases, all I need now is to find somewhere to put them, eep!
I popped into Primark at the weekend just to see what bits and bobs they had and I came across all of this stuff. My favourite thing, hands down, has to be the rabbit and guinea pig canvases, they look just like Basil and Ted and for £4 I couldn't say no. They now have homes on my wall so I can stare at their cuteness. Next is my little 'LOVE' cushion for £5. I find that Primark are starting to stock really nice home decor, so if you get chance just pop into store to check this shiz out. I also bought two tops which I liked and a scarf with colourful blue tits on :).
I then bought myself a studded bucket bag from Urban Outfitters for £20 in the sale. It's super soft and something I've been wanting for ages. I just know I'm going to get lots of use out of it. Finally, I bought 2 pairs of Vans, I can't get enough of them, I wear them all the time. I've also ordered another pair off Office, eep!
Happy New Year Everyone, hope ya'll had a brilliant time. Sorry I've been away, it's been so hectic over the Christmas period. But I thought I'd show you what I got for Christmas 2012. I mainly got money, as you do when you're older, which I put towards a new wardrobe :D. Some of my favourite gifts were my Ray-Bans, the little pink owl, the mouse slippers, the floral bedding and my new YSL perfume. Actually to be honest I like everything! I filmed a video so you can see everything better :).
Soo I really wasn't going to buy all of this stuff, but it sort off just happened, whoops! I only went into Debenhams to get samples of the YSL Touche Eclat foundation but I walked away with quite a bit more :O.I was matched to B40 in the foundation, it is such a perfect colour for me. The product itself is to die for, I was wearing it all weekend and I just didn't want to take it off.
YSL Touche Eclat Foundation - B40
Debenhams were also doing a deal on this set of 3, including the YSL Faux Cils Mascara, Touche Eclat Concealer and the Serum. So I decided, heck why not! I was going to save a lot of money plus I've wanted to try these products for a long time!

I bought NARs Cactus Flower blush off ASOS. I've wanted it for ages now and thought why not get it, and I'm so glad I did, the blush is beautiful, so creamy and pigmented, giving a nice flush to the cheeks.

I can't wait to try these out more and do some reviews on them :). The thing is, since I work in pharmaceutical production I can't wear any makeup so I only get to slap it on at the weekends! Oh well ^_^ got to make the most of it.
Hi Everyone, I've been doing lots of shopping whilst I was away down south, *slaps wrist*... buuut I thought you guys would like to see what treasures I stumbled across. I'm going to apologise now, since this is going to be a mahoosive blogpost with lots of pictures. My trip first took me down to Surrey, and in that time I went to Gunwharf Quays where I bought this little key ring from Cath Kidston.
Then I went to a little town called Arundel. They had lovely little "boutiquey" shops which I fell in love with...
I bought this gorgeous blue scarf with autumnal leaves, its just perfect :).
I'm a sucker for anything slightly quirky. I love this turquoise stone ring on a navy leather strap.
This little bunny holds rings on his ears, how cool!
Then I went to London town...
Topshop leather leggings
Monki cord shirt.
Forever 21 jumper.
Forever 21 scarf.
Primark lace maxi skirt.
Primark burgundy maxi skirt.
Annnnd breathe! I can't wait to start wearing all of this stuff. Everything I bought I absolutely love and will feature them in OOTDs and whatnot. Hope you liked this post, I had a great time in London, it really is such a cool cucumber of a city :).
