Primark, Lush & Pink Tease Haul

  Primark Haul So what have I bought yet Again! I swear I will behave in that shop one day.
From the left going clockwise is a 'grey' but I say and so do a few others it's more lavender colour. An open neck jumper at £8 it was a good bargain. 
White bow make-up bag £3 I was very happy with this purchase as it has two zip compartments and looked easily wipeable for any make-up stains. Yet that theory was instantly put to the test, I bought the fox shopping bag to carry my purchases instead of those easily breakable brown bags. I got home took out a hmv bag I had placed in there for safe keeping it was covered in brown/orange marks. I just shrugged it off but then so was everything white that was in the bag. Curtis bought a white top that had it on it too and so did my make-up bag and it just won't wash off! So annoyed going to try and return both make-up bag and the fox bag together to prove a point. £1.50- fox bag
Next is a pair of ordinary black faux suede black pumps £4, pair of low intensity reading glasses £2 (see below for close up). Bangles in the sale £2 and finally very cosy pair of black and red cosy bed socks £2


 I bought two lush items for christmas presents and only if I did not ask for a sticker on the bag I could of shown you but the one on the left is a white heart shape bath bomb with dried purple roses and smells gorgeous £3.25. That was for my mum and next was a purple, glittery spacegirl bath bomb for my little sister £2.25. The little (or rather tidy size) body spray in the middle was in the h&m sale for £2.99 it smells good too really refreshing. I bought my sister smelly's for christmas as she is a car mechanic but she does love to pamper herself and be all girly. So smelling of oil doesn't suit her at all.
 I fell in love with the packaging more than the product. I am a sucker for a bit of red/ dark pink lippy. But at a cheap only £1 the product looks quite bubbly inside but I LOVE the packaging it looks so grown up. Below is what I first went on the hunt for, Clear top coat nail varnish and there in the pound shop was these pink tease ones. So I rightly picked up two, was going to be four but thought I should test them out first.

Homely, home decor's

Little home treasures. I love our little apartment by the sea side as our home has a vintage, modern feel to the decor, I believe every little touch and design add's something gorgeously unique to our little home.
That being That I can not wait for christmas decorations, choosing them and decorating.
As it is our first christmas together we do not have any trimmings at all really, I have a few baubels which I have bought/accumulated as mine throught my childhood years. As every year a few days before christmas mum would take me and my little sister to the local garden centre where they always had santa claus and a beautiful christmas decoration selection. All three of us would each pick One special baubel.

Below is some pictures of the little homley decorations that make home. HOME!!

Pub Lunch and shopping in the beginning of Winter


So with Winter not so warmly on it's way, I have got all snuggled up for the day's events in a dark green super-cosy soft jumper from Newlook, My favourite purchase of the season so far which is the faux leather waterfall effect jacket from Missguided, Primak baby pink snood and beige skinny Jeans. 
What you can not see is my favourite tall brown quilted riding boots from Primark a brilliant find I must say.
My hair is in the quickest messy bun, I have ever been able to make. (Normally I re-do it several times with copious amounts of hair pins because my hair is so thick it falls out) As I opted for the third day old hair with the help of Baptise blonde dry shampoo and Schwarzkopf rock it dry shampoo it stayed all day and looked pretty good for a thick hair messy bun.
My Accessories were my everyday pink drop necklace from my fiance, everyday Celtic band and engagement ring. I also dug out my large-est silver hoops and decided to try to wear them for a day and see how I go. I use to wear hoops every single day but as I grew older I opted for more ladylike earrings. 
Today I thought the hoops suited the outfit well and they didn't even bother me once.
Everything was quite minimal dressed with style must buys for winter but together looked like a rather well put together outfit.
