Primark Haul April 2015

Hello!

I am a massive Primark addict and think I buy something from there at least weekly. My favourite store is the Bromley one - 3 floors of Primark goodness! My last trip was on Saturday and I ended up buying quite a few things. Here are my goodies -

Unfortunately this dress seems to blend in with the background! However if you can make it out properly then you will see a gorgeous pale blue shift dress with a flower print and belt. I already own this shirt in an over sized fit and I love the pattern, so I picked up the dress too. The sleeve length isn't ideal for the summer, but I may get some wear out of it if the weather turns.

 

I wasn't sure about this to start with, but when I tried it on I felt like it suited me better than I thought. Primark hats are great as they are only £4/5. When I went on holiday last year I left my Primark hat behind as it got rather squashed, so this should be a nice replacement. I sometimes find Primark hats can be too big for my head, but this one fits nicely.

Sorry for not rotating these, but you can still see the rings quite clearly! I love Primark rings so much! They are so cheap and the small size fit me well, so I pick up a new pack at least once a month. If I loose a ring its not the end of the world as they always have some beautiful designs in. 

Yellow underwear time! I love yellow at the minute so couldn't resist getting a yellow bra and pants! I get the brazilian underwear as I love how it feels. I love wearing frilly socks in the summer so I picked up some new pairs - one in yellow of course!

This set of 3 bags cost £5 and just makes me want to go on holiday this year! Earlier this year I bought a bikini in exactly the same print as the largest bag, so I had to pick this up! I would use all 3 of these bags at the beach!

 

 

A grogeous £10 dress! I'm really into stripes at the moment, so this will be perfect for the summer. My stomach is not my best feature, but I found that this dress doesn't emphasise it so it's a winner in my books!

 

Finally, one of my favourite pieces but I have no idea how to wear this! It might be difficult to tell with the pictures, but this is a floor length kimono! It looks like a maxi dress but is sheer and opens at the front, so you need to wear something underneath. I was thinking of wearing a plain maxi dress but don't actually own one! I don't want to end up throwing this in the wardrobe and never wearing it, but I probably need a bit more confidence before I brave this!

So these were my Primark purchases last week! I will probably go back there again this weekend - what can I say - I am addicted!

Lancome La Belle Est Vie

Hello!

Today I'd like to share with you one of my favourite perfumes - Lancome's La Belle Est Vie.

I have gone through half a bottle of this scent now. It's sweet without being too over powering and is a very feminine scent. I can wear it all day and still smell it after a long day at work. I have a new unopened box as shown in the picture, which was the last present I ever got from my dad so it is special to me and I probably won't want to open it and use it! I really like this scent as it is suitable to wear all year round. I have some perfumes that I only wear in the winter or summer, but this suits me all year round. If you're ever in a perfume store, give this one a smell!

You can buy La Belle Est Vie here.

Superdrug haul

Hello!

Here are some bits I picked up at Superdrug today. They have a 3 for 2 offer on all make up items, plus you get a free make up bag! It's not really my style but it's a good offer. I normally pick up most of my make up and beauty items in Boots but was impressed with some of the offers on in Superdrug.

 The free make up bag.

I dye my hair red and I saw this on sale which is the same conditioner that you get in the dye packet. It always leaves my hair super soft so thought I'd give it a go.

Both of these were half price. I've used the make up wipes before but not the eye make up remover, but I'm giving it a go.

I was so excited when I saw these! These are Max Factor lip balm/lip sticks that they used to sell in different packaging, then discontinued them. They have been gone for at least a year, and then when I saw them in store today I had to get 2! They are perfect for me as they are soft like a lip balm but give a bit of colour. It's not too bright though so I can wear this on any occassion. I'm so glad they have brought them back!

In my 3 for 2 I managed to get this Sleek eyeshadow palette for free! I already own about 5 of these palettes, but I couldn't resist this one. I think its the pinks that did it for me! This is the vintage romance palette and it looks lovely! I don't tend to use my Sleek palettes anymore as I use the Naked 2 and 3 palette a lot, but hey, this was free! And it's so pretty!!

So I picked up quite a few bits today - some things I love and some things I haven't tried before. 

Thanks for reading!

April Showers

Hello!

I am amazed as I actually took some outfit pictures yesterday! The weather has been lovely over the last few days, but unfortunately yesterday morning it was pouring down with rain. But I stood just outside the front door and managed to get these pctures taken.

The dress is from Topshop (bought last year) and is fulfilling my current stripe obsession. The sleeveless jacket is from Cameo Rose at New Look. I got it last week but there doesn't seem to be an online link. 

I'm looking forward to the summer weather. 2015 has been the hardest year of my life so far, and I want the year to get better. Some summer sun always cheers me up so it will need to be 25 degrees plus each day for me to feel a bit happier!

Dress - Topshop

Sleeveless coat - Cameo Rose at New Look

Boots - Missguided

Let's hope I take a few more outfit pictures soon!
