Fashion & Beauty: A Few Primark Purchases

Before yesterday I couldn't tell you the last time I 'popped' into Primark so my visit was well overdue in my opinion. As I was on my lunch break it was a little bit of a rushed look around but none the less I did end up picking up a few purchases and a few bargains!

The first thing I found on my rummage through the sales stands was this amazing playsuit that is going to be perfect for my holiday. It was priced at £5.00 but when it scanned through it was actually £2.00 = Day Made!

And then the next thing I picked up was this pack of six earrings for £1.00. I absolutely adore black and gold earrings so these again will be something I'll no doubt take on holiday with me.

And everything else I picked up was beauty related! So here's all of that -

Nail Varnish £0.80. Nail Polish Twist Pot £1.00. Beauty Drawers £4.00

Nail Polish in Ice Queen

Eyeliner 2 Pack with Sharpener £1.00

High Shine Lip Gloss in True Nude & Skin Deep £1.50 each

PS Pro Lip Primer £3.00 & PS Pro Longwear CC Concealer £2.50

The main bulk of my purchases were beauty related as I really wanted to get my hands on some of the new PS Pro make up unfortunately they didn't have that much in store so only picked up the two items. Still I'm excited to try all the make up as I've never tried much else in terms of Primark makeup and the beauty drawers at £4.00 were an absolute steal!

If you have any beauty recommendations from Primark then please let me know so I can whizz down and purchase some more goodies.

Cheers & Loves

This T-Shirt is Bananas

I always try to avoid going into the shops after a stressful day at work because it's at these times that I am probably likely to purchase things that A- I don't need and B- I probably already own something similar and  C- I probably can't afford it! However I still end up going into the shops anyway and around 99% of the time end up purchasing. 

My chosen shop this time was Zara and I didn't exactly go mad but I did buy some welcome additions to my wardrobe/perfume collection.

I used to be a dress only girl - it was a rare for you to find me in anything else but over the last year I've really got into wearing trousers/jeans and that has meant I've expanded my top collection and I am constantly on the hunt for easy to wear t-shirts and Zara is amazing for this. And also not as expensive as you may think either!

So the first thing that caught my eye was the banana print t-shirt and it just screamed summer at me! It's such a fun print and at £5.99 it was pretty much a done deal and perfect for those days when you don't want to really dress up but you don't want to be boring and bland either!

My second purchase was a black, longer length t-shirt with white writing along it stating - 'Inhale the Future Exhale the Past'.

This top was another reasonably priced at £7.99 and I totally get sucked in with slogan t-shirts so this was an absolute must have.

And the final purchase was a set of two perfumes in the scents Femme and Red Vanilla which were priced at £7.99 for two 30ml bottles. These are just easy to wear scents that will live in my handbag or in my locker at work as Zara fragrances are reasonably priced and so I don't mind if I use them on a day to day basis and the bonus is that Zara have a really nice range of scents in their collection.

H & M Picks November 2015

I've been having a bit of a clear out lately, trying to get rid of all the clothes that I don't wear anymore or have never worn and giving to either family or charity or depending how worn they are getting rid of them. 

So although I am not actually looking to buy and trying my hardest to resist spending any money (I am trying to save), it hasn't stopped me having a sneak peak online and H & M have yet again made me question if I should whip out my debit card or not?!! So far I haven't but these are my top picks from their latest collection!

Halloween accessories

So I like Halloween but always always become unstuck about what to wear! I try and think in advance but always end up in a mad rush a few days before (i.e NOW) with a complete panic. But whilst I'm having a panic here are a few ideas if maybe you didn't want to go all out and just wanted to just have some Halloween accessories. It might be just be your lips or it might just be your tights - you accessorise for you and if you want to go full on out then that's fab too! Happy Halloween!!!

Chanel Budget Alternatives For The Moment

The one bag I've always dreamed of having is the Chanel 2.55 Flap Bag because in my eyes it is the most classic of bags and the most stylish that is never going to date. Unfortunately I don't quite have the budget although I am hoping that one day I'll be able to fulfill my dream of owning one. 

So being realistic for me there isn't much that compares to a Chanel but until I reach those dizzy heights of being able to afford one (and my aim is I WILL), I have instead been looking at alternatives from a range of brands as well as the high street hence forward the below collection. 

I want a classic black, small bag that maybe is quilted maybe it isn't that can be used day or night and isn't going to date because when I go out I'm a bit fed up of having to use a clutch all the time. Plus it would be nice to have a smallish bag for the day that can still fit my stuff in!

These are so far my favourites that I've found but I'll keep you posted on which one I decide to go for or not as it were.

My Hunt For The Perfect Black Boot

I used to hate black boots and no joke every single pair of boots I used to own at one point was brown - mainly because my mum loves the colour brown so I guess I just followed her lead. However in the past few years I've started to like black boots and have owned a couple of pairs but I'm looking for the 'Perfect Black Boot' this winter. 

I want a pair that I can literally wear with anything and everything over the winter months. So here are 10 pairs that are in the potential running to maybe be 'my perfect pair' and at least one pair will no doubt get a purchase knowing me!
