Primark Haul

Monday, 6 July 2015

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!

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! :)

Primark Haul :)

Friday, 11 April 2014

Whoops, I went to Primark again!
I've recently had a lot of time off work as there's been no overtime. I've been going to meet my boyfriend for lunch some days, and his office is near a Primark so it's been hard to resist going in!
So here is the stuff I've picked up this week!
Grey flats £5
It's starting to get warmer and the ugg boots are about to retire for another year so I thought I better get some new flat shoes to avoid being that girl who's still wearing boots in the middle of May! 

Pink flower hair tie £1.50
I thought this was so cute! I think I'm going to use it to jazz up my hair when it's in a bun.

Pack of Scrunchies £1
White crystal belt £3
Remember when everyone wore their hair in scrunchie, then it became a bit Vicky Pollard? I need something to keep my hair back when I'm exercising and the hair elastics just weren't cutting it so I'm hoping these will work. Also I've had my eye on this sparkly belt for ages and I finally bought it. It looks like it cost so much more than £3! Can't wait to use this! 

Black Baseball style tee £4
I've seen this tee on so many bloggers and I just love it! I bought this a few sizes bigger than I would normally buy coz I want it to be baggy. It looks really nice on! 

Pink Leopard Shorts £3
I am not normally a shorts person because I hate my thighs but there are surprisingly flattering. I bought these for my holiday just so I had something to wear during the day, to go to the beach, pool etc. I might get a few different patterns and colours of these since I like them on. 

White swirl print kaftan £8
This kaftan is gorgeous! It is so flattering with the drawstring waist! I can't wait for my holiday now so I can wear this! It comes in coral and black too. I think I might get another colour! 

Yellow Baseball style tee £4
Because I loved the black version so much I bought this yellow one too! I've always thought yellow really suits me as I have such dark eyes and hair! I wore this top yesterday and it felt nice and fresh for a lovely spring day! 

So that's my little Primark haul from this week! What have you been buying from Primark lately? I'd love to see your haul's so leave links to your blog in the comment box below! 
Also don't forget to enter my giveaway where you can win a selection of goodies from Primark and Lush! http://fashioncatz.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/lush-and-primark-giveaway.html
Good luck! :)

Primark Wishlist

Tuesday, 18 February 2014

Palm Tree Skirt- £6
-I'm hoping to get a holiday booked in the next week or so now that my redundancy money has finally come through! This skirt would be so cute at night with a nice white blouse and white sandals! 
Daisy Leggings- £3
- The daisy print is everywhere just now and at only £3 these are a real bargain!
Floral Leggings- £6
- Again these are a great price and really on trend too! 
Nautical Swimsuit-£11
- This would be great for my holiday! I've got a little pot belly going on at the moment but my waist is still quite thin so this bikini would be great for hiding unwanted lumps and bumps on the beach! 
My Little Pony Tee- £6
- This top takes me back to my childhood! I like building up a little collection of cool t-shirts for wearing to uni and this is so cute! 
Heart Print Dress £8
- Even though it looks a bit wintery, I still really like this! The colour is definitely one of my favourites and the heart print is very on trend right now! 

So that's my pick of my favourite items on Primark's website right now! Hopefully I can make it to a Primark store before they all sell out! 
What have you been buying from Primark's new collection? I'd love to see your Primark hauls! :) xx
