New Look sale haul

 So my student loan comes through and I tell myself I won't spend any money... and then I accidentally fell into the New Look sale - oops!

 I really should be banned from buying jewellery because I never wear it. It gets shoved in a drawer and then ends up on ebay one day because the only jewellery I ever wear is my ring off my mom and dad and my bracelets off my boyfriend. This silver and gold spike bracelet was reduced to £1 though so I couldn't resist!

I also picked up this necklace because I've been after a chunky OTT necklace for ages to wear with my plain white tops and dresses on nights out. This actually has one of the spikes missing at the bottom but considering it was only £1 I figured it didn't really matter and no one would notice!

 I've wanted this swing cami for ages so when I saw it reduced to £3 I grabbed it! It's slightly cropped so not really ideal for winter but I think it could work layered up and the colour is very autumn/winter. I love this! Apologies for the fact it's really creased!

 Next I picked up this stag print vest purely because I'm excited for Christmas already and it's basically got reindeer on!!!! Again, it's quite summery and I wasn't a massive fan of the sleeves/neck line but I thought it would look cute and wintery under a chunky, fluffly cardigan! This was reduced to £4.

 This cami is quite similar to the first one but is made of a darker blue chiffony material. I expected it to be quite see through but it's actually not at all, I really like the colour of these camis! This was £5, so a bit more than the others but still quite a bargain!

 Finally, I picked up this aztec print crop top. I own quite a few crop tops already so probably didn't need another one but I like to wear these on nights out with a black skirt. The way I think is that I would wear this top with a skirt I already have so the total cost of the outfit would be £3, whereas if I got a brand new dress it would cost a lot more and therefore I did need another crop top, right?

In total for 4 tops, a necklace and a bracelet I spent £17. Without the necklace which doesn't have the original price tag on, originally it would have all cost £39 so I'd say that was a pretty good saving!!

What did you guys pick up in the New Look sale?

New necklace - Claires

I haven't been into Claires since I was about 10 and I vaguely remember everything I ever bought breaking! This, plus the fact that every time I buy an item of jewellery it just ends up in my jewellery box with everything else I've never worn means I have no need to go into Claires but this necklace was on the reduced stand by the door and it dragged me in! 

 I really could have spent a massive amount of money in there! They had some really nice bits in the sale but I restricted myself to this one necklace so that I had some money left over to by some new MUA products (see post here). It was only £2.50 down from £9 and I thought it would look perfect with a plain white tshirt and considering pretty much all I've been wearing recently is white boyfriend fit tshirts I convinced myself I'd get a lot of use out of it! 

I love the pastel colour combination, it's so girly and perfect for spring. I just can't stop looking at it!!

Primark Haul

I have a ridiculous candle obsession and can't seem to come home from a shopping trip without one so when I saw this one in the home section reduced from £3.50 to £1 I just couldn't help myself!! It's white tea scented. I'm not sure if it actually smells like white tea because I haven't got a clue what white tea smells like but it smells good! It's pretty big too!

I jumped on the band wagon and bought the necklace every blogger seems to have! I've been eyeing it up for a while but I have an awful habit of buying jewellery that I never wear.

I originally went it for one of the silky skull scarves but came to the conclusion I couldn't pull them off so picked up this camo cross print snood instead. I actually adore it. It's my favourite thing ever and I can't wait to wear it! It was £4 which I wouldn't normally spend on a scarf because, as with the jewellery,  there's a good chance it will end up in the back of my wardrobe unworn but I just love it so had to grab it! I also picked up these socks. There should be 5 in the pack but 2 were missing so they were reduced from £2.50 to £1 something  I'm such a sucker for cute socks!



I've needed a new make-up bag for a while. All the topless lipsticks and eye liners, along with leaky foundation makes them messy so easily! After getting new make-up for Christmas and placing a massive MUA order (my next post will be a haul!) I felt my new make-up deserved a new make-up bag! I wasn't a massive fan of any of the make-up bags in Primark but liked how big this one was (it can actually fit my bare minerals foundation in!) and I like that the material is wipeable. It was supposed to be £3 but scanned at £1, making me a very happy bunny!!

Finally, I got this dippy hem top. It was the only one on the sale rack and the paper tag said it was a size 6. I'm about a size 8 but usually wear a 10 because I prefer my t shirts baggy. It was £2 from £4 though so grabbed it anyway hoping it would fit. When I got it home I realised that the actual sewn in tag says it's a size 8 and so it fits!! It's a bit annoying how see through it is, I couldn't get away with not wearing anything underneath so that's a bit of a pain but I do love it so I can cope with that!
