Boxing Day Sales Haul

Tuesday, 30 December 2014

Aloha! You can't beat a bit of festive shopping, even better when everything is in the sale! I've picked up a few bargains, so here is a little roundup of everything I've bought! 
On Boxing Day, we headed into town as a family to have a little look in the sales! I never saw anything I really wanted, but later on that day we went to our local shopping centre where I got these little bargains! 
Blue Jeggings - £12 from Next
I live in leggings and I'm always looking for another pair to add to wardrobe! These were originally £24 so I was delighted to get them so cheap!
Grey Dogtooth Leggings - £14 from New Look
These are beautiful! I plan on wearing them to work mainly but they will also be lovely to wear casually too!
Black Scuba Leggings - £5 from New Look
I wasn't so sure about these, but you can never have too many black leggings! After trying them on though, I really like them so I'll be keeping them! They will be nice dressed up or casual!
Candy Cane Lane Small Jar - £3.99 from Clintons Cards
Yes, I bought more candles! I was looking for one of these online but they were sold out everywhere. So imagine my surprise when I walked into clintons and found them on a half price shelf! This smells of peppermint and sugar! It's lovely! 
Candy Cane Lane & Cranberry Ice Waxed Tarts - 69p each from Yankee Candle Store
My local Yankee store was selling off all their Christmas stock at ridiculous prices on Boxing Day! Unfortunately I missed most of the bargains, but I did manage to grab some wax tarts for my new burner! 

Navy Crochet Maxi Dress - £28 from Very.co.uk
This is actually navy, it's just my lighting is terrible! I've had my eye on it for a while for my end of uni ball in May, so when it went in the sale, I just had to buy it! It is really pretty and I think it may be a perfect dress! 

Globe Bookends - £22.50 from Marks & Spencer
Again, I picked these up a bit before Christmas. I couldn't resist them. They are just so me! My mum bought some for my dad too! I've always wanted a globe and now I have 2! 

Candy Cane Lane Tealights - £3.50 from Yankeecandle.co.uk
I bought these before I found the small jar and the wax tarts on Boxing Day, but these will still get used in my lovely cat tealight holder that I bought from the same website! 
Cranberry Ice Small Jar - £4.00 from Yankeecandle.co.uk
Fireside Treats Small Jar - £4.00 from Yankeecandle.co.uk
Icicles Small Jar - £4.00 from Yankeecandle.co.uk
Of course, I couldn't resist stocking up on some more jar candles! I think I need to go to candle rehab!  These were half price so how could I say no! 
I also picked up a Baby Powder Large Jar in the Very sale for only £16! That hasn't arrived yet so I don't have a picture to show you! 

So that is all the bargains I have managed to find so far! No doubt there will be more to come! 
I'd love to see any posts about products you have found in the sales! Leave me your links below!

Dress- £12 Forever 21

Dress- £15 Primark
Cardigan- £6 Primark

Hello everyone! Today I thought id show you a few of my favourite outfits from my holidays! I'm a big fan of maxi dresses and skirts, as you can probably tell.

Have a great weekend everyone! 





Primark Haul (and others)

Thursday, 15 May 2014

Hello!
Today I headed into town to grab a few last minute items from Primark (and River Island and New Look!)
Here is what I picked up!
Elephant Vest £3
How cute is this?! I couldn't resist for such a cheap price. I just love it! 

Baseball Tee £3
This was in the sale so I grabbed it for wearing over my bikini at the pool on holiday.

Hat £2
Haha I got this purely for stopping my scalp from burning! I thought it was cute with the little cat ears. My boyfriend hates it but I don't care! 

Top £6
I have to admit, I'm a bit of a Pepsi addict! So this top suited me perfectly. I plan on wearing it for travelling on Sunday as it's nice and loose. 

Dress £15
This was my favourite purchase of the day! I fell in love with this dress, so much that I even had to wear it to photograph it! I can't wait to wear this on holiday! 

Leggings £15 from River Island
Obv not from Primark but I love these acid wash look leggings! I'm also going to wear these whilst travelling on Sunday

Necklace £5.99 from New Look
I needed some statement necklaces for jazzing up my outfits. So I decided to pick this plain silver one as it will go with most of my stuff! 

Necklace £4.99 from New Look
Then I saw this in the sale so I had to get it too! 

Hair Accessory £5 from Claire's Accessories
I've seen a few people wearing these and I think they look so cute and will look even better when I've got a nice tan and wearing my new maxi dress! 

So, that's my haul from today! Have you picked up any bargains lately?

Huge Spring/Summer Haul

Monday, 21 April 2014

Hey, hope you've all had a lovely Easter weekend!
Today I've got a massive spring/summer haul for you all! As you may have heard me mention, I'm off on holiday very soon (26 days to be precise!), so I've been shopping like mad for new summer clothes!
On Friday, I went through to Glasgow with my mum for a little bank holiday day trip! This is what I picked up!


Turquoise Aztec Maxi Dress- £12.95 from Forever 21
Printed Maxi Skirt- £1 from Primark
Plain Orange Maxi Skirt- £5 from Primark

I fell in love with this maxi dress and I just had to have it! It's just something about the colour! Also you read correctly, the patterned maxi skirt was only £1! It's in pastel colours and looks really cute with a plain vest tucked into it! I'm on the hunt for a top match the orange skirt. I've seen one I love in Primark but they don't have it in my size just now! :(

Sandals- £10 from Primark

I've been looking for some wedges for ageeees! I found these bargains on friday! They are soooo comfy! The platform from makes them feel like wearing flats without compromising on the added height (which I really need!)

Baseball top- £14.99 from New Look
Jeggings- £19.99 from New Look

I had some vouchers for New Look so I grabbed these lovely items! I've really embraced the baseball top look and I have to say, I love it! This one is really summer with the palm tree print and it's a really flattering fit! 
I love the acid wash jeans look but I'm not sure it would look good on me. These jeggings are slightly acid wash which I love! They only had my size in these so it was obviously meant to be! 

Ralph Lauren Flip Flops- £14.99 from TK Maxx

I love these! They are actually kids flip flops (benefits of having tiny feet)! 

Wedge Flip Flops- £6 from Sainsbury's

I think I've bought too many flip flops but I had to get these! My mum had a similar pair last year and they were great! As you can see I've already had them on! They go great with almost everything! 

White Skinny Jeans- £16 from Sainsbury's
Bird Print Scarf- £6 from Sainsbury's

I've seen so many people wearing white skinny's this spring but I've never found a pair I liked until now! These are the perfect fit! They make my legs look nice and slim (which they definitely aren't). Also they make them in short, regular and long leg length! Good job Sainsbo's! 
And how cute is this bird print scarf! I'm loving anything bird print just now, even though it totally conflicts with my cat print obsession! 
If you like any of my Sainsbury's purchases, if you hurry to your local store today, they've got 25% off all clothing, shoes and accessories! (ends today)

Pink Polka Dot Bikini- £12 from Asda
Coral Stripy Bikini- £12 from Primark
Plain Black Bikini- £5.50 from Asda
Leopard Print Bikini- £15 from ASOS

Okay, so I have the worst time ever trying to find bikinis to fit because I'm bigger than a DD bust! I usually have to buy size 20 tops and size 12 bottoms! Thankfully, shops are starting to provide for us busty girls! Of course there are shops like bravissimo who have been selling bikinis in bra sizes for years, but at 40 odd pounds a bikini, I realistically can't afford them! 
I'm also loving the fact that high waisted bikini bottoms are in fashion this year! I dread getting my flabby tummy out on the beach, but these work kind of like control pants! It's great! 
If you are like me and you struggle to find bikinis in sizes that fit, I recommend the following shops:
1. Asda
2. Primark (limited range of bigger bust bikini's)
3. ASOS (go up a back size though, if your a 34 inch back, you will need a 36)
4. New Look (Kelly brook range does limited range in bigger sizes)

Leopard Print Maxi Skirt- £5 from Boohoo.com
Leopard Print Jumpsuit- £4.95 from Chiara Fashion

I didn't get these on my shopping spree on Friday, but they were such bargains, they are worth showing! I'm not usually a jumpsuit person but this one is really cute and at only £4.95 I couldn't say no! 

If you've made it to the end of this blog post, then you deserve a gold medal! Hope you've enjoyed seeing my entire suitcase worth of holiday clothes! Are you going anywhere nice on holiday this year? I'd love to see your latest purchases, leave me a link to your blog in the comments box! :)
