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 shoe haul

Hi Guys!

Sorry I went awol. June has been a bit intense. I will resume my two posts a week in July.

Lets keep things nice and light with a shoe haul post :)

I've gone a bit crazy with shoes lately.

These are three really simple basic pairs that form a great base for everyday outfits.

In typical Penny fashion I have a pair of double ankle strap pointed cut out shoes in black and in white. Really 'on trend' urgh but classic at the same time. These are great to commute in as they are flat and easy to walk in, and the straps keeps them on my feet when I'm running for the bus.  They were from Primark and really sorry can't remember the price - either £8 or £10.

One con - my ankles are totally bruised. And sometimes bleeding (sorry!). But to be fair that's probably cos I have fat ankles. 

These are my £3 loves! Three bloody pounds!!!!!!

You might remember my bad Converse experience and ever since selling them I've still been on the hunt for a simple pair of white lace ups. And I think I've found them. Like the Converse they don't fit very well, but at £3 a bit of shuffling is totally acceptable. Really thin sole and moderately low cut - looks great with skinny jeans et all. Really happy :)

Outfits of the Week

Hi Guys,

Just a few more outfit of the days - even though it's not super hot anymore it's still dress down at work (tomorrow will be the start of week 3 of dress down - I feel like a student again!).

First up - what a horrid look - literally my face is urgh! But oh well. I'm wearing my newlook inspire neon heart t shirt with my dorothy perkins light bleach eden jeggings. Got some old primark gladiator white and gold sandals on my feet and my new favourite bag. I think this was the most casual I've ever been apart from pj's, 

I really like this outfit - I'm wearing denim so it is dress down but I'm also wearing a lace peplum top so I still feel like 'me'. The jeans are from Very and top is from asos curve (£12.50 in the sale). Paired with nude primark ballet pumps and my new favourite bag again. 

I also liked this outfit; it was really comfortable but still quite 'nice'. Grey skinnies from Very, black dip hem t shirt from Very, red shoes from Zara. 

Here's a close up of my two new favourite items - both gifted by my mummy.

Light tan bag from accessorise - rrp £40 but my mum got it for £6!!!When she gave me this I really didn't like it but once I carried it I haven't switched out bags since.

Red stud shoes with cut out sides and ankle strap (squashed under bag) - what's not to love? Zara and my mum got them for £7.99 in the sale!!!!!!!!!

This is me doing casual bling lol Converse (omg these need their own post!), eden jeans and an oversized t shirt from asos with giant sparkly gems on the shoulders.

Images above and below same OOTD (obviously) - This is my go to when it's over 24 degrees. I know it looks like a lot of black but I can't be wearing hot pants so I like this. Black maxi skirt with slit from Primark, top from H&M (I think it was £3!) and my old primark sandals. 

And I end this post with a boring shot of my primark nude pumps (£4) - I love them.

I'm trying hard not to buy 13442 pairs.
