Aloha! I'm back again with another little Primark Haul! I had a cheeky little bonus in my pay packet this month so I decided to treat myself to some new things!

Here is what I bought!

Workout Vests - £3 each

Sports Bra - £3.50

Sports Socks - £2.50 for a 3 pack

As I've mentioned before, I've been going to the gym in an attempt to get in shape for my wedding! I was pleased when I saw that Primark had some offers on their workout clothes! I picked this lovely orange colour as it goes with my new balance trainers that I bought recently! And the black top will make me look slim right?

Cardigan - £6

Blouse - £5.50

It wouldn't be a trip to Primark without me buying a black cardigan! I go through them like nothing on earth! I also spotted this nice black blouse. I was drawn to it because of the unusual gold chain detail on the front. 

Pop-up Storage Bin - £3

Invisible Footies - £2.50 for 5

Bum & Tum Shaper Tights - £3.50

Lace Boxer Briefs - £1 each

Hair Ties - £1

I bought this storage bin to replace my old laundry bin which is falling to bits! I liked the pattern on this and my utility room is black and white so it will go well with it!

These tights are just the best! I've had them before but all my other pairs now have holes in them so it was time for a replacement packet! I like these because I don't have to spend the whole day pulling them up!

I'm sure no one really wants to see what pants I bought but T

these were reduced to £1 each! I'm going to have a proper clear out of my underwear drawer now that I've purchased quite a few new pants recently!

And of course, it wouldn't be a trip to Primark without coming out with socks and hair ties! (even if you don't need them)

I also bought a special little something whilst I was in Primark, but I'll save that for another post!

Primark have some lovely products in just now! I'm gutted I'm not going on holiday this year so I can buy lots of pretty new summer clothes!

Fashion | Spring Haul

Aloha! It's not often I spend money on clothes these days as the wedding saving is in full force, but I had a little trip to the shops with my mum a few weekends ago so I thought I'd do a little Spring Haul post!

Here is what I bought!

Jumper £12.99 - H&M

Leggings £16 - M&S

I bought these leggings for a work night out and wore them with a cream blouse which worked really well. They are super thick and comfy! I wanted a black jumper to go with them so grabbed this one in H&M. I know it's a bit late to be buying jumpers but I live in Scotland so the chances of us having a summer are slim!

Navy Blouse £5 - Primark

Black Cardigan £5 - Primark

Shoes - £6 - Primark

I bought the blouse as I have 2 navy skirts but nothing to go with them! This works well with them and was in the sale so it's a win, win! 

I always grab a black cardigan when I'm in Primark too as you can never have too many! And when it's in the sale, who can resist!

I just love the gold detailed bow on the shoes too! I needed some new black flats for when it finally gets warm enough to take my ugg boots off!

Blouse £4 - H&M

Dress £20 - Tesco

This blouse was in the H&M sale for the bargain price of £4! I've got the same blouse in like 3 different colours and this one will go really well with another of my navy skirts!

I've had my eye on this dress for weeks. Everytime I went to Tesco I would stand and admire it for ages! One day I finally gave in and bought it and I've not looked back! It's great for both work and weekend wear!

Fashion | Primark Haul

Aloha! I've not had many posts up lately, so sorry for that! I'm back today though with a Primark Haul! I picked up these things in January with some of my Christmas money as I was in desperate need of some new workwear! Here is what I bought!

Plain Black Blouse £10, Patterned Blouse £13

The plain black one is super soft but my one complaint with this would be that it creases so easily! Like even just sitting in the car in the morning, I get out and I look like I've not ironed it, which I think looks a bit scruffy!

The patterned one is chiffon material so I don't have this issue with this one. I like the faux-layering on this one, and the unusual neck which has a little metal clasp.

Blouse £10, Skirt £8

You can see from this picture what I mean about the creasing on the black blouse above as this is the same one but in cream! Still, it is okay if it's worn tucked into a skirt.

Like this skirt for example! I've had this on loads as I just love it. You can't beat a bit of tartan!

Black Blouse £10, Pink Blouse £6

Unfortunately I had to return both of these as they were just too small and I couldn't get a bigger size in either of my 2 local stores. It's a shame as I liked them both! 

Duvet Cover Set £13 (kingsize), Pillowcases £2.90, Fitted Sheet £4, Throw £3.90

I can't go into Primark without picking up some home bits! I've been using the throw as a blanket to keep me cosy whilst sitting on the sofa on an evening. It's so soft and warm. And it matches my red sofas perfectly!

Blouse £13, Diffuser £1

This blouse is the same style as the one at the start of this post. Again, I had to return it as I couldn't get a bigger size anywhere (I have big chest issues with blouses!)

Cardigan £4.90

All the cardigans were on offer when I visited my local Primark which was good news for me as I desperately needed a new black one! This one is lovely and soft. I wear a black cardigan almost every day to work so I go through them so quickly so Primark ones are perfect for me!

That's everything I picked up in Primark in January! Now it's back to saving my pennies for the wedding!

Blogmas Day 18 | Bargain Buys for the last minute shopper

Aloha! I've noticed that quite a few shops have got some big reductions on right now so I thought it would be handy to do a little post of where to look if you've still got some shopping to do this weekend!

1. New Look. They've got up to 50% off seasonal offers including a selection of coats, partywear and shoes, as well as buy one get one free on selected jewellery. Perfect to pick up a gift for a friend, sister, mum etc.

2. ASOS. They have up to 40% off winter warmers. They've got a great selection of coats, boots, knitwear etc included and it's for men and women!

3. Primark! They've currently got reductions across most departments in the store. They have reduced accessories, Christmas jumpers, knitwear and menswear. Lets face it, there's not really anyone you couldn't find a present for in Primark! (except maybe a cat?)

4. Marks & Spencer. There's 30% off selected items across the whole store right now! Big bargains to be had and again, you really could find something for everyone there! 

5. Very.co.uk. They have 3 for 2 on selected gifts, 50% of selected fragrances, 40% off selected brands, 50% off selected watches and jewellery, and many more! And what's better, they promise if you order before 10pm on 23rd December, your order will be there in time for Christmas or your order is free!

6. Accessorize. They have a seasonal sale on with up to 50% off selected items including Pj's, socks, pet clothing, and beauty products. Perfect for bargain stocking fillers!

Hopefully this is helpful to those of you braving the shops this weekend! I will definitely be staying at home!

Blogmas Day 12 | Christmas Jumper 2015

Aloha! I can't remember why or when the Christmas jumper thing became fashionable again, but I have to say I like it! I decided I wanted a red jumper this year (no idea why), so I've been keeping an eye out for one I liked for a while.

I spied this little number in Primark the other day for only £9. It was actually in the Mens department but it fits so I'm not bothered. Rudolph has a red bobble stuck to his nose which I think is super cute.

I'm hoping I will win the Christmas Jumper competition at my work with this one!

There are so many jumpers to choose from this year, it was such a difficult decision to make. I've still got my eye on a couple of other ones that I might end up buying as well...

Well at least I won't be cold throughout December ever again!

Blogmas Day 11 | Christmas Party Outfit

Aloha! Tonight it is my work's Christmas party! We are having a theme night in a casino so I thought I better dress to impress! Here is what I'm going to be wearing.

I bought this sparkly Lipsy dress about 3 years ago now but I love it so much, it always gets to make an appearance over the festive period. I decided not to buy a new dress this year as I always buy something that I only ever wear once or twice afterwards!

These shoes were a steal at only £5 from Primark! I desperately needed a new pair of black heels as I wear the ones I have every day at work so they are all a bit wrecked now! I wanted to buy a pair that I will be able to wear to work after the night out and these were perfect. I'm loving the caged shoes that are around at the moment!

I'm going to team this outfit with a black blazer and some thick black tights!

I'll pop some photos of the night out in my SundayPost this week!

Primark Haul

Aloha! It has been ages since I last did a Primark haul on here, so I thought I would do a little post about the bargains I have picked up lately! 

Sandals £12

I picked up these to wear to my graduation (which is tomorrow!) as I really didn't fancy attempting to walk in front of hundreds of people in stilettos! This is mainly because I'm still suffering slightly from breaking my toe in Mexico! These are dead comfy, and they are wide fit so hopefully my little feet will be okay in these all day!

Tote Bag £1.50

In Scotland we have to pay 5p for every carrier bag we use. When I saw this at the till, I had to get it. Obviously because it has a cat on it! Also because I'm saving the planet though! I keep this rolled up in my handbag so whenever I need to pop to the shops, I always have my own carrier bag!

Cardigan £5 (reduced from £10)

This was a pretty difficult item to get a photo of! It's a batwing style cardigan in quite a thin material so it would be suitable for wrapping around you on a chilly summer evening (or just every day if you live in Scotland!) I'll probably wear this to work as its easy to chuck on over a blouse and skirt!

Blouse £3 (reduced from £10)

Talking of blouses, I got this bargain one for every day work wear! I've just found out I've got a graduate job (woohoo!) so I'll need to start dressing more professionally! I also bought this in black, which was also only £3!

Dress £5 (reduced from £13)

How pretty is this dress! It would be lovely to wear to a wedding or a special occasion. I will probably end up wearing it as a work dress once I've found a blazer/cardigan to match it!

Nail Polish £1.50 

Earrings £1

My mum swears by this long wearing nail polish! At the moment, they only have it in 2 colours, this bright red and a hot pink. I was looking for a red one for my graduation so I was pretty happy with this! According to my mum, this is like having shellac on, and I actually noticed they had a gel effect top coat polish for just £1 if you really wanted to strengthen that effect! I've yet to try it, but I'll put up a post once I have! 

These earrings were purchased also to wear to graduation. I plan on wearing my hair down so there was just looking for a simple pair. At £1, I can't really complain with these!

Okay so this last purchase isn't actually from Primark...it's from H&M and was a bargain £5.99! It was such an impulse purchase but I can actually see me wearing it quite a lot! I have a whole wardrobe full of cat print items and I'm forever adding to it haha! 

So that's all my recent purchases from Primark (and one from H&M)! I'll probably be doing a little workwear haul soon as I prepare to start my new job, so look out for that!

Style Diary: Wardrobe Recycling

Dress - £10 from Primark

Boots- €30 from Stradivarius 

Aloha! On Saturday it was my brother's birthday and we were going out for a meal so I needed something nice to wear! As it is January and payday seems to be taking forever to come around, I decided to put together an outfit using items I've not worn in a while! 

I bought this dress in the summer to wear to work. I've worn it quite a few times but not recently and I really like it. 

These lovely brown cowgirl boots are from a store called Stradivarius. I bought them on a trip to Barcelona about 3 years ago and I think I've worn them once! I don't know why it's taken me so long to get more use out of them coz I love them! 

I'm going to be doing a lot more wardrobe recycling over the next few months as I have a few large expenses coming up! Also I need to have a clear out if I want to buy anymore clothes haha!

Style Diary: Pick up a penguin!

Hello everyone! Yes I know the title of this post is super cheesy, but it's Christmas after all! On Monday, myself and all my uni friends went out to for our christmas lunch! Of course christmas jumpers were required, so here is what I wore!

Penguin Jumper- £12 Primark

Jeggings- £17.99 New Look

Knee High Boots- Old (they were about £9 in the Internationale Sale about 3 years ago)

I just love this jumper! I normally find jumpers to be very unflattering for my shape but this one is not like that at all! I've got a few more christmas events coming up in the next week, so I will definitely be breaking this jumper out again! It might even make an appearance on Christmas Day! 

Here we all are in our jumpers! Photo courtesy of the Granary Leith Facebook page! 

Don't we all look so cool?

TheSundayPost

Hello Everyone! Another relatively unexciting week this week! Here is my roundup of this week in photos! 

This week I had to hand in the research proposal for my dissertation! Of course I had left it til the last minute! Copious amounts of coffee were required but I got it handed in on time! Now to await the results! 

This week I had a little trip to Primark to pick up a few things for Christmas! I've not got too much to buy now! I picked up these cosy slippers for myself since my ones are practically ruined! These are very similar to the Ugg slippers I've had my eye on but at a fraction of the price! They will keep my toes cosy until I can save up for the real ones! 

As usual, most of this week was also spent at work! This cute sainsbury's carrier bag brightened up my morning! 

                                     

All the presents I had ordered online all arrived on the same day! I had to carry these 2 boxes home from work! :( 

On Saturday, I went to visit my mum for a few hours. She's heading off to Thailand next week so I was helping her with booking travel insurance online! Smudge was also trying to help! Poor Smudge has been balding on his tummy recently so unfortunately a trip to the vets is in order this week :( 

Today we headed out to Ikea. I was only supposed to be going for a lamp for my sitting room but I couldn't resist these scented candles! They were only 95p each and burn for 25 hours! That's pretty good value for money! 

So that is about all for this week! Next week will be a little more relaxed! Uni teaching is finished for Christmas (we still have 2 essays to hand in though!) so at least we get a little lie in! 

Have a great week everyone!

Hello! Today is a beautiful sunny day so I thought I would wear something to brighten up the office a bit. I was given this lovely kimono as a birthday present and I've been dying to wear it! I teamed it with my cute black skater dress with n embroidered flower neckline, and my trusty leggings and black peep toes. I've had numerous lovely comments on my kimono and it's keeping me nice and cool on a hot day so I'm delighted.

Hello everyone! I'm back after a short break with a new outfit post! I've been so busy over the last few days as it was my birthday! I'm now the grand old age of 22! I went for a little girls day out on Monday and I picked up this pink bird print dress in the next sale! They only had size 10 or 22 left, but I just had to have it so I went for the 10 and prayed it would fit. I have to say I'm presently surprised with the fit! I paired it with my pink cardigan and shoes and some black leggings for work today and lots of people have commented on how nice it is! 

Have you bought anything nice in the next sale?

It's Monday again! Boooo! 

Ive just realised this whole outfit is from Primark! Oops! I bought this dress on Friday when I went out with my mum. She spotted it and I thought it would be perfect for work! I really love the colours and the pattern on this. Is perfect with leggings and my favourite peep toe shoes. 

I kinda wish I'd brought a cardigan though as it's rather chilly today! 

These £10 dresses come in a range of patterns and colours. I have 3 already! :)

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. A few years ago you would never catch me in a maxi dress but I just love them now. They are so effortless! I'll definately be re-wearing these outfits when I go back to Portugal in September! :) 

Have a great weekend everyone! 

OOTD: daisy, daisy, give me your answer do.

Daisy tee- Primark £3

White cropped cardigan- Primark £6

Black pencil skirt- Very £16

Hey everyone! It's almost fridayyyy! Again, I have to apologise for my messy bedroom (I was out last night and made a mess in my drunken state ha!). Today's outfit was very quickly thrown together as I slept in (again)! I think it looks quite good though, nice and summery! It's an absolutely glorious day here today, far too hot to be stuck in the office! Roll on 5pm! 

What are you up to on this beautiful summers day? 

OOTD: rain, rain, go away!

Dress- Primark £10

Cardigan- Primark £5

Boots- New Look (very old) 

Hello everyone! The weather is terrible today so the tights and boots are back out the wardrobe! I've been loving this primark dress since I got it a few weeks ago! It reminds me of 1960's fashion. I hadn't planned on wearing this cardigan but it was the first one I found this morning! It actually goes quite well! 

I better plod on with my work now, I'm on a half day tomorrow as it's my other half's birthday so there's lots to do!

OOTD: A leopard never changes his spots

Hello everyone! Please excuse my messy bed in this photo! Here is another work OOTD. I really like this leopard print skirt that I picked up in the Very sale! It was a steal at only £10! I paired it with a plain grey tee from Primark, a cropped black blazer from New Look and my new primark peep toe shoes! 

No doubt this skirt will feature in many of my future work outfits! 

Happy Thursday everyone! Only one more day until Friday! Xxx

OOTD: Working 9 to 5

Skirt- £6, Very

Plain Tee- £2, Primark

Cardigan- £5, Primark (old)

Okay so this post is a little late as I was trying to post it at work yesterday, but my computer is extremely slow, and I just got angry! 

Since I'm now an office worker, I thought I better invest in some smart clothing. I picked up this lovely ribbed tube skirt in the Very sale for just £6! I just love it. It's nice and stretchy so very comfy to wear all day. I paired it with a plain white tee, smart navy cardigan and plain navy shoes. 

:) 

Home Sweet Home

Hello Everyone!
Today's post is a little tour of my little house!
For those of you who don't know, I live with my boyfriend in Edinburgh, Scotland! We've been living together for nearly 2 years and have stayed in this particular house for just over a year! It's a furnished rental so a lot of the decor/furniture belongs to our landlord but I try my best to personalise it!

Sitting Room

Kitchen

Bathroom

Bedroom

So that is my little humble home! I buy most of my home decor from Ikea, B&M and Primark purely because they are cheap and as a student that's exactly what you want! Hope you've enjoyed this post! I know I like having a little nosy at people's houses haha!
