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!

Another Primark Haul...

Aloha! I've been let loose in Primark again!

This time I had some birthday money to spend and decided to get some new pieces to update my wardrobe a bit!

So here is what I've been buying!

Silky cami top - £8

I love this top! It feels lovely and it's a pretty pattern. I like to wear it with skinny jeans and a black cardigan (or blazer if I'm looking for something smarter!)

High waisted skinny jeans - £10

Talking of skinny jeans, I also picked up these! They are definitely the comfiest jeans I've had in a while, and they are super soft too!

Cream Jacket - £15

I picked this up for wearing to work. I've yet to wear it as it instantly got warmer after I bought it, but I'm sure I'll get plenty use out of it in the Autumn!

Black Jacket - £15

I've had this on a few times already as the material is a bit thinner than the one above! Again I bought this for wearing to work! It looks really nice with a black pencil skirt and a colourful blouse!

Nightdress - £4.50

Haha this was a bit of a novelty purchase! I needed some cooler PJ's for the warmer months and this fits the bill well!

PJ's - £8

How could I say no to these?! Reese's is my favourite chocolate product so I just had to have these!

So that's all my recent Primark purchases! I have to say they have some pretty awesome things in just now!

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!

A little slice of November

It seems like just yesterday I was writing my October roundup post! But here we are at the 1st of December! So here is my round up of this month! 

1 & 2 - November saw me making a little trip north, to Aberdeen to see my best friend! We had a lovely weekend catching up and doing the things we love. I also got to meet her lovely fella! 

3- I also got most of my Christmas shopping done! I had to carry these 2 boxes home from work though! 

4- I got my grades back for the 2 assignments I completed in October! Both were very good marks so I treated myself to my favourite chocolate to celebrate!

5- Coffee was very much needed in November to get me through those dark winter mornings and coursework! This was my first starbucks red cup! 

6- The month wouldn't be complete without a picture of Smudge! 

1- My dissertation proposal was due in near the end of the month! It resulted in a very late night, and me being 2 hours late for work then next morning. Oops

2- I made my first trip to Primark in quite a few months. These cosy slippers were my favourite purchase! You can find my Primark Haul Here 

3- I also made a little trip to IKEA where I bought more candles! 

4- And finally, here is Edinburgh all lit up for Christmas. I've already been to the winter wonderland twice and I'm sure there will be many more visits to come! 

So that was November! I'm sure it will be time to write the next one before I know it! But for now it's time to get excited for Christmas!!

Primark Haul

Hey Everyone! It's been a long time since I did a Primark haul on here! I popped in last week to pick up a few bits and bobs for christmas presents. Obviously I can't show you what I bought incase any prying eyes see! However it was mostly PJ's! Here are the items I picked up for myself! 

Grey Bird T-Shirt - £3

For some reason I have a thing about bird clothing and accessories! I'm always on the lookout for cute t-shirts for wearing on my day's off and I thought this was lovely. And it was on the sale rail reduced from £5! 

Black Boots - £18

For Primark these boots are quite expensive and they do feel a bit flimsy. However I think they look really nice so I treated myself! I've only had them on once so far but hopefully I'll get plenty wear out of them

Black Cardigan - £6

Everytime I go to Primark I always pick up a plain black cardigan for work! This one is a bit thicker for the winter. My desk is right at the door of the office so it gets a little draughty! This should keep me cosy (along with the heater under my desk ha ha!) I love the little shell like buttons on this too! A bit different from the usual plain black buttons you get on these cardigans!

Blouse - £5

This black chiffon blouse was on the sale rail reduced from £10. I thought it would look nice with my black pencil skirt for work! I've yet to wear it but I'm planning on wearing it soon! 

Slippers - £4

And finally, my favourite purchase! These slippers are almost identical to the Ugg slippers I've had my eye on recently! They are dead comfy and I can't wait to get home at night to get my feet in these! I've got terribly cold feet but these keep them nice and cosy! They come in a few other colours too, including black and navy so if chestnut is not your colour, don't worry!

So that's it for this time. Hope you enjoyed reading this post. Let me know what you've picked up in Primark recently! :)

OOTD: Primark print dress

Print dress- £10 Primark

Leggings- £3 Primark

Shoes- £6 Primark

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! :)

TheSundayPost #7

Hello everyone!
Hope you've had a great week! As this post goes up I'll be on my way to the airport to start a week long holiday in Portugal!
Here is what's been going on in my life this week through the method of instagram photos!

1- Yet another photo of my little fur baby. This was his photoshoot in the garden on Wednesday haha! 

2- On Wednesday I was looking after my little cousin! This was his big boy look apparently! Little monkey! 

3- On Thursday I had a job interview. On the way home I got a banana milkshake from Mcdonald's because they make me happy! I've become seriously addicted to them! 

4- On Friday I started packing for our holiday. Do you think we have enough sun cream? Can you tell one of us is ginger? haha! 

5- I bought this hat in Primark. My boyfriend thinks it's silly but I like it! 

6- On Saturday I finished up work for 2 weeks! This was my start of holidays selfie with Smudge! 

So that's pretty much been my week! As I've mentioned I'm away next week but I've got some post scheduled so there will still be new things to read next week! 

If you want to catch up on my posts from this week you can find the links below!

Primark Haul (and others)

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

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! :)
