Primark Haul

Last Monday we went to Luton and I popped into Primark so that I could spend the vouchers
that I got from various people for Christmas. 

I am so chuffed with the amount of clothes I've managed to get 
and I still have quite a lot more left to spend next time I go there. 

First up I got this top which was £3 on the tag but when I got to till  had gone down to £2. 


The two tops below look great when I wear jeggings. 
The pale pink one was £8, I love the pale pink and the collar on this one.
The hummingbird top was £5 I really love the detail of it. 


The dark pink top was another saving £5 on the price tag but £3 at the till
love it when this happens. 
The crotchet top is lovely and cost me £4  love the colour
and they also sold this top in a few other colours.


The redish top is the same as the blue one I am wearing in the first photo
but was at full price (£3) 
The lace panel jumper was £6 and I will be wearing it with 
a top underneath probably a white strappy top. 



Last of all I had to get this lace skater skirt for £8 
I love this and chose it in case I get invited somewhere as I don't have
much in my wardrobe for dressing up in since the weight loss
I am building up wardrobe all over again.  


Have you been to Primark recently if so i'd love to see your haul.

W7 In The Buff Palette

 I've wanted one each of the Urban Decay's Naked Palette's for quite a while now.
But they are over my price budget but when I saw on a couple of blogs
the W7 Dupe called In The Buff I decided I just had to get it! 
 I was in the need of a new eye shadow palette anyway as
part of being organised this year meant chucking a few of my 
unwanted, well used or old make up. 

So I popped onto lovely amazon and got this for £4.80. 


I love the tin and the fact it contains 12 neutral eye shadows.
Being on the pale side I did worry a little at what the colours would look like on me.
However I love the palette as all of the colours are fab and look great on me 
and they give me a little bit of colour to me without being
too noticeable. 

Colours left to right: 
- Buff
- Camel 
- Sand
- Dust 
- Chocolate
- Topaz
- Earth
- Storm
-Silk
- Wave
- Thunder
-Onyx

What do you think of this dupe? Will you buy it?

Autumn Outift

As most of you will know its very rare for me to do outfit of the day posts. 
However today I had to show you the kinda outfit I love to wear during the autumn/ winter months. 


We went shopping at The Mall Luton yesterday as Stuart had some vouchers to spend. 
I was in the need of getting some new boots so I ended up buying some in Marks and Spencer's. 
I also ended up in Primark and brought two cardigans which are really snug and comfy. 






Dress: Limited Edition Yours Clothing Dress £8 from a charity shop 
Cardigan: Primark £8 I also got an oatmeal coloured one. 
Leggings: Yours Clothing £15 for two pairs
Boots:  Marks and Spencer's £39.50 



What kind of outfits do you like to wear in cold months ahead? 


Recent Purchases

Over the next few coming months I am planning on spending much less 
since I am in the need to save up for quite a few things for the winter months. 

However here are a few things that I have brought recently. 

Books glorious books
1. The Other Hand by  Chris Cleave
2. Sister by Rosamund Lupton
3. Room by Emma Donoghue
4. Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton

All brought on amazon for no more than £2 each second hand 
I paid 0 as I still somehow had £9 left on amazon to spend. 

On Tuesday Me and Stuart went to Milton Keynes as I needed to get a
new bra and I've gone down in three cup sizes and one back size.
So I got a new bra not pictured for £15. 

So yesterday when I was in Wilkinsons and I spotted this Bra wash bag(above) for £2
I had to buy it as I had been meaning to buy one for ages. 
My bras have in the passed got the wires stuck in the washing machine so now
not only are my bra's safe but I will no longer risk the washing machine getting broken. 

Last of all is my favourite purchase this lovely bird ornament 
from BHS, £3. 

I really love the pattern on the sides of it.
They also do one with a different pattern for the same price and
larger versions for £5. 
I would have got them all if I had the money but I chose to 
be good and just buy the one. 

What do you think of my purchases?

I also chose this cute necklace in the Dorothy Perkins sale.

Recent Purchases: New Look

Hello all, hope your having a lovely weekend even if it has been dark, dull and raining. 
I've not been able to buy much recently as money is tight so not been
able to buy anything. 

However I was lucky enough to recently get a £50 New Look gift card. 
New Look is my favourite store so I was thrilled to be able to buy 
some new bits as having lost over 2 and half stone now a lot of my clothes
are far too big. 

Any way here is the lovely bits that I chose with my gift card. 


Firstly I chose this gorgeous cream floral gypsy style top, £9.99.
I really love the floral pattern which is fabulous spring time top.
This top will go great with my new leggings for a relaxed day time look. 
I love gypsy style tops because they give me this hippy/boho relaxed vibe. 


Secondly I got this pinky bow print top which was in the sale for £7. 
I love how the material is thin as it will be great when it gets hot. 
I was a little worried that it would look rather boring but I actually love it!


Rose print top, £5.99. 
I really love this roses are my favourite flowers so on seeing this 
top I had to nab it! I was a little worried that it would't suit me 
however when I tired it on I fell in love with it and found it actually rather suits me. 



White Arrow Aztec print top £5.99.
Love this top not only is it this season's must have tribal print 
but also fits in with the monochrome trend too. 


Black Denim Leggings, £12.99 
Sorry about the bad quality of this photo but I couldn't get a better one. 
I love these as they look like jeans but have the comfort of leggings. 

I also got a white and gold envelope clutch which 
I forgot to photograph. 
I got the clutch bag  to take for when I go to hen night next Friday
and also for when I go to a wedding next month. 

Have you brought anything nice recently?
