What I bought

Top photo: All Primark. Middle photo: Leggings and flats, Topshop. Top, H&M. Bottom photo: All Tiger.

Oh dear, I may have bought quite a lot today, but in all honesty I didn't spend any more than I intended and I came away with wayyy more. It was an efficient little trip, about 2/3 hours in total  and I am totally over the moon with what I got. I wasn't able to make my Lush purchase as it was being refurbished but I will save that for another time as I also want to go on the hunt for a good red or pink lipstick, a chunky knit jumper and maybe a felt fedora.  Primark was pretty good today, loads of lovely scarves and bags. The jeans are great by the way, almost identical to my last pair of Topshop Jamie's and a ridiculous £9?!! Will let you know how well they keep their shape though. I wanted to buy a jumper from there also, but I left it behind on the basis that it was black and I'd rather a colour or a grey, so the hunt continues. The little top from H&M was only a tenner and I am so in love with it, another shop with lots of beautiful items in stock today. The Topshop flats I have wanted for ages so I slipped them on out of curiosity and my feet felt so at home that I had to have them. The leather look leggings are causing me the biggest dilemma, I dont know whether or not to swap them for the trousers, any advice? They are brill though but I'll have to swap them anyway because they are a little scuffed in one part. My little haul from a shop called Tiger is making me so happy! Look at all those sketchbooks, and they were only £2/3, anyone that studies an arts subject will understand the woes of expensive sketchbooks! Big fan of the heart shaped buckets I got to put jewellery etc in, excited to have all these little bits in my uni room now! 


I'm getting an early night tonight, work just rang and have decided as a leaving present for tomorrow I can work 8.30-6. Fab. Has anyone else been shopping and picked up some good bits this weekend? Do share any wonderful bargains or beautiful things if you have! Oh and hello and thankyou to all of my new followers and all of you lovelies leaving such brilliant comments, you make my day with it all, seriously!

wishful wishlist



Boots:Office, Jacket:Topshop, Tshirt:Topshop Boutique, Bag:Moschino, Jeans:Current/Elliott

Bag:Zara, Shoes:Topshop, Bracelet:Vivienne Westwood, Dress:Topshop Boutique

Today hasn't been exciting or glamorous and I'm struggling to want to do much more than curl up in front of celebrity big brother. I know, I'm disgusted that I let myself get hooked again as well but has anyone else been completely won over? I looked after my 3 nephews this morning from 8.30 and then went on a run this evening with my mums two pugs and my sister, but after one of the animals made a bid for freedom the run wasn't all that successful. I've been following the couch to 5k running plan, and as a self confessed 'non-runner' since about 4 weeks ago, I can safely say that it works so would urge you to try it if you fancy some exercise! 

Just a bit of eye candy for today, I'm working tomorrow so I'll see what I can fit in but I'm hoping to attempt a proper outfit post on Wednesday or Thursday when I have the day off! As you can probably gather, the first selection is what I would have for a new daytime outfit in an ideal world and the second is what I would wear by night if uni wasn't fast approaching and if I didn't need to save most of my pennies for food shopping and bills, boooo.
