Haul - sunglasses and flip flops

Hi Guys!

A slightly weird haul for February (it has snowed a whole 0.00001mm in London!) but hey, I need this stuff, so why not just get it now? (I was surprised that they were even selling this stuff already, but lucky me!).

I've picked up two pairs of cheap and cheerful sunglasss - £2 each!!!

One pair are matt black plastic with silver legs and are actually really nice on (if I don't say so myself).
The other pair have a (leopard?) print and are "fun". I dunno. At £2 I  can afford to have some fun right?

I also got a hot pink case and I was plesantly surprised when I realised I can fit both pair of sunglasses in one case. I can't remember the price....between £2-3.

I also got some sandals.

The nude and diamante pair (left pic) were £4 and they are my emergency beach wedding shoes. Uber tacky, blingy and girly but for a wedding situation I think it will go with my outfit. (I still plan to wear heels but thought I should prepare a back up).

The other pair were £6 and look much cooler on when hanging up in store. (There were a black pair but sadly not in my size - sad times.) The colour IRL are a reddy orange, will look amazing in the sunshine. Not even sure if these will make it to Thailand/Phillippines but even in London with my all black summer outfit - I can't wait :)

G L A M O U R

Can't do a summer holiday without some flipflops!

The black pair were £1 - yes £1 and the leopard print pair were £1.50...or maybe £2? The plan is to take them away and then leave them behind (to make room in my suitcase for all the crap I'll be bringing back).

So that's my little summer haul. I feel good starting early and having some basics in my suitcase.

Anyone else buying flip flops and sunglasses but wearing ear muffs and snowboots? xoxo

Primark haul - Sweater season

Hi Guys!

It is so cold these days bbbbbrrrrr so I've stocked up on some new jumpers to keep me snuggly and warm.

I've only become into wearing jumpers since last year. Previous to that I just felt, honestly, too chunky to be wearing jumpers. I'm bulky enough and I didn't see the point of adding on more bulk.

But then last year I just....I dunno....accepted my bulk and welcomed jumpers into my life! And this year, with the addition of having to actually travel to work beyond 10 minutes I actually need the extra layers for practical reasons (I can be practical at times!).

Everything is from Primark. 

[£14]
This chunky jumper is a mix off creams and greys. It fits quite boxy but is by no means cropped. It gives off quite a boyfriend vibe with the wide contrast neck line. Absolutely love it. It does get a bit fluff central and leaves my office chair and  black skinnies slightly fluffy but nothing I can't live with. One thing to note is that the washing instructions says to cool wash it....which may or may not matter to you. 

[£14]

Leopard print. Nuff said.

This feels like heaven. It is so soft and fluffy. It is not as thick as the previous jumper, and it isn't very flattering but it was too cute to not buy. 

[£10]

This is the typical fluffy jumper that was all the rage since last A/W. TBH I am going to return this because the colour looks absolutely hideous on me. I look like a fluffy washed out pig. They do sell this in black but my size is never in stock. I will persevere cos I'm dedicated innit. 

[£6]

I know. I know what you are thinking.

Double chin. Triple chin. Roll neck. Really?

Yes really. As I mentioned previously, sometimes I can be practical.

I've been sick a lot since starting my new job (Hello public transport germs!) and sometimes you gotta keep, not just the chest region warm but also the neck.

This is a wardrobe essential and I shall be busting it out and probably layering it under another jumper when it is snowing and shizz. I'll be in so many layers and scarves that noone will be noticing my chins. And to be fair, my chins are there with or without the rollneck anyway.

(Also note, if you have less chins than me, this would look very stylish and it is only £6!)

[£14]

Neon yellow jumper.

Goodbye comfort zone!

I love this. It is chunky and slightly boxy. I could have gone a size smaller but the oversized look really suits the style and colour. It is neon yellow for god's sake. I took, "go big, or go home" quite literally.

This isn't everyone's cup of tea (no shit sherlock) but hey, if it garners too much hated I can always wear it around Penny Palace. Ain't no one gonna stop this star from shining!

OMG this jumper just makes me all happy and weird.

The only downside is styling it is tough. Pretty limited with which outwear and accessories I can wear it with.
But I don't mind a  challenge. 

[£14]

This is the jumper I am wearing in the first photo.

I love this jumper. This is my favourite one.

It is oversized, long (more than covers my bum) and it has slightly batwing thing going on and the sleeves are bracelet length (my absolute fav sleeve length - cos I'm the sort of person who has a sleeve length favourite).

The neutral beige is just sexy. Yes, beige is sexy. 

And I saved the best til last!

Oh come on. Just cos I've purchased a few non-black items doesn't mean I've gone bat shit cray.

But seriously, if you want a pastel unicorn rainbow jumper, go to Primark. The jumper feels like clouds.



Hope you have enjoyed my sweater haul :)
Are you guys all warm and snuggly?
Keep healthy xoxo

Primark Haul

Hello!

As promised (and i kept my promise for once!) here are some pics of some of the stuff I got at Primark the other day.

For any (East) Londoners out there I just have to say a quick thing; if you haven't been to the East Ham branch since the refurbishment then you need to go! It's much bigger (double the old floor space, maybe even bigger?) and it's stocking much better stuff; more copycat items and less fleece!

I apologise that the pictures are a bit more snazzy but hey, better then nothing right?!

Above and below are the two bags I got. Exactly the same bag, one in black and the other in tan, both with 'gold'/brass? detail. I love these bags because they are massive and also becasue they have both a big arm strap and a body strap. I keep both on, looks very cool (my opinion, other people probably think i look stupid and my dad would be worried that I'd get a strap stuck in a tube door but oh well). I think they were £9 each - bargain!!

Above we have the shoes I got. I brought 3 the other day and altogether I've had 4 of these shoes (I originally got one grey pair - heel broke ouch). This time I got 2 black and one grey, the extra black is locked in my drawers at work :) They were an amazing bargain price of £8. Suedette, almond toe and a cone heel. Love love love!!!!!!
