Primark Haul - September 2013

It's time for everyone's favourite blog post (or mine at least)... a Primark haul! I didn't intend to spend any money today, I just went to pick up a couple of stationary orders from Wilkos and Asda for a future blog post but me and the mother went into Primark and I happened to fall out with a bag of sale bits - oops!

I was in the PJ section because my mom was buying some and she asked if I'd fit into a size 6-8 because the only sizes they ever seem to have on the sale rail are 6-8 and then sizes way too big for me. I was like NO of course I won't, but they were cute so I tried them on anyway and as you may have already guessed considering I bought them, they fit! They're really sweet with a swallow (I think) pattern all over and turn up dotty hems! These were reduced to £3 from £6.

 I also picked up these ones which are white with embroidered detail and turn ups with a cute button. These look like they're going to be pretty see through but with going to uni soon and not really owning any long PJ bottoms I thought I'd prefer to be walking around in PJ bottoms you can vaguely see my pants through than Primark's "cheeky shorts" where half my bum cheek hangs out! Not a great first impression!

I am an absolute sucker for Primark's home section, they sell such cute bits and pieces at bargain prices! Last year I bought one of the Christmassy throws for my boyfriends house just because it was cute and cheap, I didn't actually think we'd use it. We actually ended up falling in love with it and snuggling it on a daily basis through the winter and using it as extra warmth in bed on those cold nights so it was definitely worth the few pound price tag! Anyway, this Geek throw is made of the same soft material and was reduced from £5 to £3.80 so with the added excuse that we're moving soon and a new house needs a new throw I had justified it to myself and shoved it in my basket! I'll be honest, I've not jumped on the "Geek" and other slogans bandwagon at all because I'm just not a fan personally but considering me and the other half really are geeks, I guess it kind of works!

So then we went and paid for our bits and on my way out I discovered more sale stuff (face palm!) I am obsessed with Primark socks and pants which I've probably rambled about before and so I always feel like I NEED more despite the fact I really don't and when I realised I could get 15 pairs of new socks (new house new socks right?) for £3 I just couldn't help myself so walked back over to the till with 15 new pairs of new cute socks!

 Ooooh pretty!

I saw this bag on the way out which I've decided I need, how perfect is this!! I have a bit of a unicorn obsession too, so much so that I will be doing a unicorn wishlist soon!

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!
