Shop!

Good evening! I have some goodies to show you :) I'm building up my little wardrobe, so I should have a few shops coming up in the next couple of months. I still have to get dresses, tops, cardigans, hoodies, heels and more!

Sorry that the photos aren't of great quality. My camera is rubbish for taking distant photos, especially of clothes. Also, I couldn't find anywhere to photograph, so used my bed which is currently sporting my childhood bedding!

ASDA:

Parka coat £25.

The photo isn't doing it justice, which is a shame. I needed a light jacket/coat because I don't want to be carrying around my heavy Winter coat all the time!

Original Source shower gels £1 each.

Original Source shower gels are my favourite. I only buy them when they're on offer though (which is a lot of the time). I've been waiting for somewhere to put them on offer for ages, so when I saw them in ASDA, I picked up 4!

Primark:

Navy knitted cardigan/throw over with pockets £12.

This photo is terrible *sigh*. I was a little apprehensive about buying it because I tend to buy things for practical reasons, and as you can see, the sleeves aren't long enough to cover my arms and keep me warm. I decided to get it though because I will wear it a lot. It's bat winged, which is very flattering.

Pajama bottoms £5 each.

I love love love Primark pajamas! They offer a range of designs and the quality is good. I'm going to pick up a few more of these in different colours and patterns.

Hair ties £1 each.

I stocked up on my usual hair ties!

New Look:

Skinny jeans £19.99 each.

Again, the photo does not do them justice. I love New Look jeans. I don't like my jeans to be one colour all over, but a little faded in the middle (like above).

I walked past the Wide Fit shoes section and saw some suede court heels. On the shelf, they looked 'meh', but on, they looked gorgeous. I tried on a 7 and to my surprise, they were too big. The 6s fit perfectly. With heels, it's better for them to be tight than loose, because if they're loose, you can't walk in them! Anyway, I didn't know whether to get the black or teal pair, but decided that the black would go with more and if I liked them, I could then get the teal pair. They didn't have any black size 6s left though, so I'm going to order them online. Don't be put off by the words 'Wide Fit'. These were not wide fit at all!

Shoes and Doggies

I'm not a shoes kinda girl. Nor a handbag one. I buy shoes more for practicality, rather than making an outfit look better.

The shoes I recently bought:

These are from New Look and cost £9.99. I had some like this from Primark and really loved them but my toe made a hole in the fabric and was poking out for the world to see. Hopefully this won't happen with these because there is rubber across the toes! These are cross between dolly shoes and trainers, making them easy to wear with most outfits. They are khaki coloured but New Look also offer them in black, white and blue.

I have a photo of my old Jessie and Shadow, sitting above the steps and wanted to recreate this photo with the new Jessie and Shadow:

New Jessie (nearly 2 years old) and Shadow (13 years old).

Look at Shadow posing! haha

I'm glad I have photos of Shadow with both the old and new Jessie's.

Coat

I've finally found a coat! I'm not in love with it but it'll do. I'm size 8-10 in clothes and normally get hoodies/coats in a size 12 but they didn't have any so I got a 14. I don't mind though because I like big, cosy coats. It's not waterproof but again, I don't care because it will still keep me dry.

Newlook coat £40.

Newlook fleece £15.

My dad said it looks stupid showing parts of the coat but I can't get a full length photo because I don't have flexible arms. He also said it looks stupid covering my face but I didn't like how I looked in the photo.

UPDATE: I am now in love with this coat :) It looks so much better in person and it is sooo cosy!

Shop!

I didn't get a lot of want I intended to, like a coat, shoes and hat but I like what I did buy :)

I'm giving up on looking for a coat, I've looked everywhere!

Newlook:

32 inch skinny jeans £19.99

Republic:

Rings £4.99. How pretty are these?!

Boots:

250g chocolate slab £5, The Pink Cow Vanilla Biscuit shower gel £2 (Normally £2.99), Boots Extracts Vanilla body butter 200ml £7.75, Boots Extracts Cocoa Butter body butter 50ml £2.50.

I LOVE the scent of vanilla and have been wanting to get a vanilla body butter for ages. I got two mini Cocoa Butter's because it was 3 for 2 and got one free.

Superdrug:

Nivea Tinted Moisturiser £1.99 (Half price), Emery boards 99p, Barry M Vivid Purple, Raspberry and Clear £2.95 each (Clear was free as it is 3 for 2 in Superdrug)

Birthdays:

Mum's birthday card £1.59.

The chocolate slab, Boots Extracts Cocoa Butter, Nivea Tinted Moisturiser and Barry M's Vivid Purple are for my mum's birthday on Wednesday.

Collective shopping

I love reading haul posts; to find great bargains, to see what is currently in stores, to decide what to buy next and if there is anything that I've been 'umming and arring' about, they usually make my mind up on whether to buy it! Here is what I have purchased in the last two weeks:

BodyShop had 30% off for bank holiday weekend woooo!

I could have ordered soooo much (Their eyeshadows and make-up brushes are great. Their lipstain is also one of my favourite lip products) but unfortunately I'm a wee bit skint at the moment. I couldn't even spend £15 to get free delivery because I didn't have that much in my bank! Bad times.

First of all I went to their lipcare, saw their lipbalms and thought 'Omg, down to £1.40, I have to have them alllll!' *Add to basket, add to basket...* but I then remembered I didn't have enough money to buy dozens of lipbalms and lip butters :( The funny thing is, I rarely wear any lip products, including lipbalms but their still an addiction of mine and when I have the money, I shall be buying quite a few of them hehe

My order was dispatched Wednesday and came Thursday! So much for 'if you paid for standard delivery, your items should take 5 days to arrive'. Express delivery takes 2 days and mine came before that!

So here's what I bought:

Passion fruit facial cleansing gel £2.79 (normal price £3.99), Vitamin E facial cleansing bar £1.75 (normal price £2.50), Facial brush with lid £2.10 (normal price £3), Double ended blackhead remover £2.10 (normal price £3)

Next up is Newlook

I ordered Wednesday, expecting them to arrive Saturday like most of my orders have (3 days) but nope! and because of bank holiday Monday, I had to wait until Tuesday!

White pumps £6, White metallic lace dolly shoes £14 - I normally wouldn't pay this much for a pair of dolly shoes but their to wear for a special occasion.

Primark:

Light wash mini shorts £7 - I really like these!, Briefs £4 - I normally buy shorts or thongs but I thought I'd go for a change.

Shorts £5. These are for my dad as part of his fathers day present. He doesn't like getting presents because he'd rather I spend the money on myself but I still do anyway. He doesn't like expensive brands (he likes a good bargain ;) and if I did buy him something expensive, he wouldn't be happy and would want me to return it haha. I bought him a pair of these a few weeks ago in a different design and he loves them so I thought I'd get him another pair.

As for the other part of his present, I'm not sure.. he's trying to get fit so that means no chocolate.. but I might buy him Chinese; he won't say no to that :P

Tesco:

Just a few essentials :)

Cotton wool pads 55p each, Nivea facial cleansing wipes £1.49 (half price), Dove deodorant stick £1.99

Boots:

I have £7 something on my advantage card :D Man it took a while to get that much. A while ago my friend bought a £40 perfume and she put all the points on my card as she doesn't have one. That built my points up a fair bit! Plus they also have deals like: spend £5 on so and so and get 250 points.

I was going to buy a Barry M eyeliner, two Rimmel nail polishes and a few things from Natural Collection (I want to try Apple Blossom lipstick to see if nudes suit me) but one of my Boots are always low on stock with half the shelves are empty and my other Boots only has a few stands of make-up :(

Newlook Haul

I really like the pattern on this. Looks better when you zoom in.

I love this top because the back of it is see through lace (Looks white because on manikin). This will show all of my back without looking tarty.

& finally some tights.

Planning on wearing the long top, tights and black suede ankle boots. I'll try and take pictures on my rubbish camera phone (Still haven't got a camera yet! I'm hoping February)

I'll do another post when they and the boots arrive to show you what they look like on etc...

Roll on Friday!

Can not wait till Friday! That's when I get my money and I have already added a top, jumper and tights to my Newlook basket ready to buy. I have also added a pair of black suede ankle boots to my Next basket. They are slouchy and exactly what I've been looking for! I was going to get brown or grey but I think black look better when wearing black tights or leggings. They are £35 which for me, is a bit pricey, but since I have been buying cheap Primark shoes (I love my £1.96 shoes though!) I think I can allow myself to buy one pair of expensive shoes!

Here is a picture of them:

I have my eye on you... and you

I get my EMA tomorrow so have some pennies to spend! (Before anyone complains, I don't have any school stuff to get so I can spend it!)

Planning on getting some Lush and E.L.F products but here are some things I have my eye on from Newlook: (There's loads I want, but I simply do not have the money!) I'll probably show you completely different things in a few days because I always change my mind!

+ some tights and this should make a cute little outfit!

Newlook, Boots & Superdrug Haul

Newlook:

Navy hoodie £12, Umbrella £8

I'm a size 8-10 but when buying coats or hoodies, I get a size 12. I got this hoodie in a size 16 because I want it big and baggy. I think hoodies should be large and not fitting as they are to keep you warm. I'm wearing it now and I love it!

Here is the print of the umbrella. Its zebra print and has a stonewash colour running through it instead of just being black and white. It also has black frills on the bottom and a 'hook' handle which I love.

Boots: A few Christmas presents

Photo frames for my Nan £10, Mug £5 and Flower marshmallows £2 for my Auntie.

Superdrug:

Lipbalms £3.99

I picked up a few packs of these to divide between friends at Christmas for extra presents. I am also keeping a pack for myself as I love them. They are each a huge 20g (Vaseline size) and in the pack, you get : Cranberry and Pomegranate, Coconut and Shea Butter & Mango and Papaya. They all smell great! Especially the Coconut and Shea Butter one.

Going Christmas shopping again in two weeks :)

Also in Accessorize, there is a cute owl necklace (£5) I am going to buy and a mushroom sharpener/rubber! (£1.75)

I'm also buying a few friends some purses (£5) from there for Christmas. One design is a penguin! Which is adorable and the other design is a pink sequinned strawberry which is so cute.

Newlook & Primark Haul

Newlook:

Coat £28 (Click to enlarge and see the coat properly). There's also this other gorgeous coat I really want for £45. I'm going to save up for it.

True colour of the coat.

Primark:

First pairs of 'Uggs' £5 each. I want some chocolate brown ones but these will do for now. I've found a chocolate brown pair from Kangool which I am also going to save up for.

First pairs of 'Tennis' shoes £2 each.

Pearl and bow necklace £2.50.

Pearl earrings £1.

White and gold flower ring £2.

Newlook Dress

So this is my new best item in my wardrobe. The dress is from Newlook & was £10 down from £30 - Bargain! It fits perfectly & the colour is amazing. I can also dress it down with a black cardigan, leggings and dolly shoes.
