I went 'holiday' shopping!

I had planned to do a little bit of last minute 'holiday' shopping because I needed to get a few more bits before I go away at the weekend. Having said that I ended up coming home with a little bit more than I had planned to come home with and to be honest a lot of it isn't very 'holidayish' but thought it would be a perfect excuse to show you what I had got right?

Home Sense

I can actually see my own future home being mostly of things made up from Home Sense. I just love how pretty much everything is 'one of a kind' and I always have a lot of fun exploring in there. I didn't really need another toilet bag but I really loved the patterns and the colours and it also comes with two other bags. I also noticed this Cupcake tin which was super cute though I think it'll be something I'll use in my bed room rather than the kitchen.

H&M 

I was hoping to find a few more summer pieces in H&M but think I'm a little bit too late! But instead I found these cosy jumpers. 

These shoes really stood out to me, they're a lot different to what I would usually go for but there's something about them that really caught my eye. They're sort of that plasticy material but actually a lot more comfier than I expected.

Boots

When I was younger I remember getting really excited about going holiday shopping because my mum had always promised to get me a disposable camera. With everything being so technical and digital now these sort of things are slowly being forgotten about. But I wanted to start using them more again and thought holiday would be a perfect place to start. I always used to get excited seeing how the photo's had turned out (most of which didn't turn out so well) but I love the idea of having actual photographs that you can keep in albums.

I also needed to get my beloved concealer from Collection. I then picked up this eye brow kit also from Collection which I've been hearing a few things about (:

Colouring books seem to be a bit of a thing right now and these were one of my favourite thing as a child. I picked these two up, I didn't realise how much choice you could get I spent a little while deciding between a few haha. 

It also has quotes on each page which is a unique thing about this one, definitely gives a little more inspiration while your colouring.

Hope your all having a good week, I'm back to work soon after having 4 days off. But I'll be going on holiday on Monday so it's all good! 

Till next time...

I did a 'little' bit of shopping...

Hey all!
Yep, I've done a 'bit' of shopping lately although I have to say this wasn't all in one go! So here's a haul for ya.

H&M

I've been wanting a jacket for a long time but haven't found one that I felt like was worth buying but I came across this beautiful white one in H&M. I'm going on holiday pretty soon and thought it would be perfect to go out in the evenings when we have dinner and smarten things up a bit. But I also thought it would be perfect to wear casually too during the day. 

I absolutely love these shorts, the material of them just feels so soft. They may actually be a bit too warm for summer because even though it's not hugely thick material it's still quite woolly but to be perfectly honest I think you can get away with wearing these in the summer. Especially in England when It may be a warm day but it's still cloudy or chilly in the evenings. 

I absolutely love the pattern on these crop tops. Now I don't usually wear crop tops, in fact I never wear them simply because I feel a bit insecure. But this one only shows a tiny bit of your skin and I absolutely loved the patterns and colours. 

Lastly I noticed this black and white strappy top with flower prints on them and loved it. 

Primark 

Being a bit of an obsessive 'Friends' fan I am just a little bit too proud of this top I bought from Primark. They had a couple of choices of Friends tshirts but preferred this one. I usually wear it to lounge around in or sleep in, just love it a lot! 

I thought this Ice cream top was pretty cute, especially for someone who loves ice cream.

I've just noticed these look really creased for some reason and I haven't worne some of these yet haha. I needed some shorts and I always find denim shorts way too short now and I just wanted ot find some normal length ones, I loved the pattern on these and blue is my favourite colour so it's perfect for me. I also thought the 'Life is Beautiful' was cute.

Boots

I've used the body spray and the body scrub from Soap & Glory a couple of times and I can't recommend them enough, lovely smelling products and the scrub feels great on your skin, especially knowing it has sea salt in leaves your skin feeling really fresh,

I haven't used this Hand Food hand cream before but I wanted to try some different products from S&G and I love trying out the little travelling sized products because at least that way If I don't like it I won't be wasting a lot. 

My beloved Collection concealer's and eye liner which I just use constantly. The eye liner lasts a really long time considering I use it most days and considering it's a small pot too, 

I have also used this blush pallet before and loved it, although I dropped it and the whole thing smashed and made a not so fun mess everywhere, so had to go and get myself another one.

Lastly I saw this eye shadow pencil and thought it was a really pretty colour and perfect for this time of year. 

And I'll finish up there because this post is getting super long and I applaud you if you read it till the end! 

Until next time...

Things that I have been loving

Stripy Top - H&M

I do love me some black and white stripy tops especially stripy ones! It always makes me feel a bit 'French' because to me it's like a classic French style. I also think the gold buttons on the side add a really cute touch to it and also makes it look a bit smarter. But I think with this top it's something that you can either wear with a casual look or you can definitely smarten it up! 

Shorts - Forever 21 

I was debating whether to buy these shorts or not but I didn't want them to be left in the shop with no new home to go to so I decided they should belong to me, ha. I probably wouldn't wear the top and the shorts together maybe a bit too much? but the shorts would look great with a plane/simple top. The material is a little bit more thicker than usual so this is definitely something you can wear in the winter as well as something for the summer. 

Sunglasses - Primark

£2 for sunglasses? sounds good to me! Me personally, I often have trouble finding sun glasses that actually look good on me, these don't look much better than any others I find but they're smaller which is what appealed to me I actually like the design too! I have an annoyingly small face and usually most sunglasses look too big on me and I end up looking like a fly. But I have to say I do love these! 

Purse - Primark 

I wanted to get a bigger purse because all my small ones never fit all my lose change so I thought a bigger purse would be easier, I love the colour too! 

Tangle Teaser -

Long story short, I'm just glad these were invented! 

Collection concealer & Collection Eyeliner

Both of these products have been a long term love of mine, have used these over and over again.

Apple Lip balms - Primark

I have never tried any of Primark's beauty/make up products before so as I went past that section the other week I thought I would have a little nose around and noticed these super cute lip balms. I've used them every day since I purchased them. I haven't actually used the 'apple' flavour yet but I can imagine it smelling so good, this cherry flavoured one defintely smells amazing. My lips have been feeling so soft lately because of these.

Watch - Primark 

I swear this post isn't sponsored by Primark, I just went a bit mad in there not so long ago. I've been looking for a gold watch for quite some time, and I just love the design. £2.50 for a watch, not bad eh?

Lastly I've been loving this creamy eye shadow I purchased a while ago, It's a perfect colour for this time of year! 

I think I better stop there because I can see this post getting long. Hope you've all had a good week, I'm sadly working over the weekend. What things have you been loving lately?

A little shopping haul.

In a previous post I did a 'part 1' shopping haul which was mainly things I bought from Boots in fact I think everything I got in that haul was from Boots. But I also went to a couple other shops like H&M and New Look, most of the Items I took home with me were from H&M (No surprise there! but It's my favourite shop!) 

They have just recently done up our local H&M and I really love it! There's definitely a lot more choice than what the other one had.  So I thought I should share with you the Items I took home with me.

The first thing I noticed was this spotted shirt, it's quite funny material actually it's that type that creases really easily but It actually gives it a nice effect in a way and it also keeps you quite warm (But not too warm) I just thought it was a really cute design. 

I haven't warn this yet but it already looks like it needs to be ironed. I loved the lilac colour which I thought would be perfect for this spring. And I absolutely love pastel colours and honestly don't own many pastel colour clothing. I believe this was around £6,99 and you can't really go wrong with that can you?

I love me some spotted tshirts! Blue is one of my favourite colours to wear too.

This is one I actually got from New Look. New Look is often a 'hit or miss' with me It used to be my favourite shop until I spent more time In H&M and then left New Look behind (Sorry New Look!) haha. But I do still often go in there I usually end up getting a lot of my jewellery from New Look because I always find nice pieces from there. 

Anyway, this Kimono was something I saw as soon as I had walked into the shop and it was just the beautiful colours and patterns that caught my eye It was something I was debating whether to get but in the end I decided that I couldn't leave it in the shop and not take it home with me. 

These beautiful bangles are also from New Look which I think I purchased for around £5 or so? But I loved the designs on these bracelets and thought they would be super cute to wear in the summer especially.

I'm currently changing my wardrobe from it's jumper/wintery theme to a spring/summer theme! So I'm sure they'll be a few more shopping trips to come soon which means more haul posts, yippee! 

Hope your all having a good bank holiday weekend, I unfortunately have to work tomorrow (10 hour shift!) which to be honest I'm not really looking forward to but hey I guess we've all gotta do things that we don't want to at times!

I went shopping!

Hey all! Hows it going?
I recently did a bit of shopping and came back with a few things so of course it's a perfect excuse to do a haul post. It wasn't a huge shopping trip I only ended up purchasing a few things from Boots and H&M but haven't done a haul in a little while!

I cannot go shopping and not go into H&M It is my all time favourite shop and they always do things that I love in there. Anyhow I only came back buying two Items in there one of reasons which is because I'm trying not to spend a lot at the moment and another is that they are actually re doing the shop, normally It's a pretty great H&M and sell a lot of things but It's only on one floor at the moment and have cut down selling a lot.
The first thing which caught my eye was this light pink jersey top with birds on, I usually go for simple/plain things and rarely pick Items with patterns on but recently I've been loving things with patterns and I really liked this and it was only £7.99 which is a pretty good bargin I think!

You can find the Jersey top here, http://www.hm.com/gb/product/87540?article=87540-D

I then noticed this cute body bag in the accessories section and absolutely love it! I was deciding between a yellow one or this white one, I thought the white one would pretty much go with anything. Although I think I may go back and get the yellow one because it was such a pretty colour and it would have been an amazing colour to wear In the summer. Not that I needed another bag but couldn't walk away from it! If I remember rightly I think this was around £5.99.

I then went into Boots because my make up bag needed some serious updating and replacing. So over the weeks I have been buying quite a few new make up/beauty products. 

I really really didn't need any more nail poslishes but I just loved these colours, I seem to be really loving pink nail polishes at the moment especially since spring has quickly arrived! 

I then also wasn't meaning to buy anything for my brows but I was taking a look at the 'Benefit' section which honestly I have never really tried before. And then got talking to one of the girls who worked on the Benefit counter and she was really helpful talking about this 'Benefit' eyebrow product and she basically just really recommended it to me so I thought why not give it a go? It was a little pricier to make up Items that I usually buy but I wanted to test it out myself, my sister had also been going on about this particular Item. 

'Collection' is one of my favourite brands, If not my favourite. I cannot express how much I love their concealers and eye liners. I definitely needed some new eye shadow's and just thought these were some really pretty colours and perfect for spring with the light pinks and purples!
