Primark & Internacionale haul!

Me and my friend went to Liverpool for the day last week and it was such a good day! I'd never been before and one of the things on my "To Do in 2014" list was to get to explore cities I've never been to and boy was it an adventure! In total we were there for 24 hours, I had 1 hours sleep, we went shopping, on the ferris wheel, on a ferry across the Mersey and I spent the hours of 9pm-6:30am in bars/clubs and I met some really lovely people and ahhhh it was just one of those times I never wanted to end, so many memories were made in just 24 hours and it was well worth the hotel money (even if I only slept in my bed for an hour) and coach money. I can't wait to go back and go and explore other cities too! If you've not been to Liverpool before I highly recommend it, it's such a picturesque, cute city and if like me you love the accent you'll even enjoy chatting to cashiers and the staff in Costa! :)
Anyway, I thought I'd show you the bits and pieces I picked up whilst wondering around the wonderful shops in Liverpool!
 From Internacionale I picked up these two hair pieces. The one on the left is to go around a bun and the one on the right is a scrunchie. I've wanted something like this for ages so couldn't resist considering they were both reduced to £2 (as Internacionale have gone into administration!) I wasn't a huge fan of the black flowers on the bun ring, I'd have preferred something a bit more summery but for £2 I can't really complain. This will be ideal for when I'm working by the beach in the summer as I imagine I'll be spending a lot of time with my hair up out of the way whilst working/on the beach/surfing with a hot surfer dude who I'm going to end up falling in love with and marrying.
I wore the scrunchie the other day so thought I'd show you what it looks like on! My mum laughed at me but I think it's reaaaaallly cute!
 Of course I couldn't help wondering into their HUGE Primark. Seriously I mean HUGE, never seen a shop so big in my life! I picked up these flip flops for £1.50 and this map print beach bag for £2 because I thought they'd be ideal for the summer. The flip flops are by the surf brand MAUI who have just launched a range within Primark. I really like the MAUI clothes but they're very surfer-esque and I don't think I could pull it off so I opted for the safe option of some flip flops! I love the glittery detail on them! I also picked up this phone/money/card holder/clutch which was reduced to £1. I currently use a similar one I purchased from Primark a few months ago but it's harder like a glasses case rather than a wallet material (if that makes any sense!) but the lining has started to rip so I picked up this one as a cheap impulse buy whilst I was queueing!
I picked up two items of clothing, this pale green flecked boyfriend fit tshirt and this gorgeous floral cami which I adore so much that I put it on as soon as I got home! These were both £4 and I've already worn them enough to justify the £4 and I only got them a week ago! I finally feel excited for summer:))

Spring Primark Haul inc sale


 How gorgeous is this deep blue skater dress with a criss cross back?! I absolutely fell in love with it and so picked it up despite the fact that I never wear dresses! It was £10 which is quite a bargain!
 I've wanted this hoody for a while now because I love the acid wash, casual look and I have a thing for studs at the moment so when I saw it was reduced to £5 I couldn't help myself! It's quite possibly my favourite thing ever, it's SO comfy. I've also been eyeing up this acid wash dip hem dress but didn't get it because I wasn't sure about the gems but with this reduced to £5 too, I couldn't help myself.
 I got this mint jumper a few weeks ago so don't remember how much it cost but it's the perfect spring colour and this floral blouse was only £3 and it's such a nice fit. It's slightly cropped and reminds me a bit of my nan but even so, I love it!
I'm sure you've seen these everywhere but I got the black boyfriend fit crop top for £4 and also this marl cocoon cardigan for only £3!! Overall, I'm so impressed with the bargains I've picked up over the last few days!

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!!

Boohoo February Wish List!

With it being sunny recently I've being lusting after a new wardrobe full of pastel colours, floral patterns and lace, especially now me and my boyfriend have booked our summer holiday! I don't even care that it's still February :)


  • I absolutely adore this rose lace collar chiffon blouse, it's SO pretty!
  • I love oversized tops & jumpers so to pair that with these colours? Just omg!



  • I've been getting into exercising recently but have been struggling to find some comfy, decent looking joggers, I really love the Leah ones paired with the strappy vest.
  • Hoodies are my favourite thing to shove on on a lazy day, I don't think I could even choose my favourite colour because I like them all so much!
  • I'm not a big heel wearer but I really like the contrast of the nude heels and neon strap.


  • I love all of these colours, so feminine and gorgeous, they make me want to be on the beach!
  • Rob, if you're reading this, the colour of the knit cardigan is the colour theme for our wedding :)


  • I'd never wear the monochrome socks or "totes emosh tights" in public but I think they're both SO cute!
  • I have a thing for studs and triangles which explains most of the rest, I need that stud headband!
  • Last time I bought a pale yellow nail varnish, no matter how desperately I wanted it to look nice, it just looked horrible and tacky but I refuse to give up!


Yeah, so basically the whole shop! A girl can dream!
