Fashion Haul / H&M, New Look, Asos & More!

I never really do fashion hauls on my blog mainly because I never normally like the outcome of the pictures of the clothes. But here I am giving it a go because recently I have purchased so many new clothes which I have fallen in love with and wanted to share them with you. I also have a new wardrobe which I thought looked like the best place to take the photographs so I hope they look ok for you guys.

Anyway firstly is this dress from Dorothy Perkins which I have actually purchased for a wedding in a couple of weeks. It has this gorgeous floral print and neckline which I absolutely love. The fit is perfect although I did have to size down but now it's figure hugging in all the right places. I'm picturing this with nude heels and bag which I thought would look great for a summer wedding. It has a skater skirt bottom which is also great as it means I won't get too hot. I think I would be able to wear this again for other events and even daily in the future.

This top is from New Look and I am in love with it! I love the fringing as it means it doesn't show off too much of your tummy as the top is cropped. I think paired with denim shorts this is going to look great when the sun decides to come back out and also for when I go on holiday. I've always wanted an item of clothing with fringing so am super pleased I've found something I love with it.

This is a very basic top from H&M but it was such a bargain that I couldn't resist. It was only £4 and I also realised that I actually don't own any navy tops in my wardrobe so thought that was a good enough reason. I love the lattice top part of this vest and I think this would look great tucked into a pair of denim shorts or something for the summer.

First things first I am just in love with the pattern of this top, it's just so perfect for summer. It's hard to tell in this photograph but this top has slinky straps and then the t shirt part so that you have cut out shoulders.... if you understand that. Again this style of top is something I've wanted for a long time and I am pleased that I have finally found one I like. This is from New Look and was super reasonably priced I couldn't not pick it up.

Another New Look top and another style of top that I have wanted to purchase for a while. This is a Bardot style top which has been everywhere this summer and I am a big fan of it. I love that this one in particular just floats perfectly and has 3/4 length sleeves. I love the monochrome stripes (and anything with stripes on) and I think it will go with a lot of bottoms I have currently in my wardrobe. I think a simple pair of jeans and this would look well put together.

And here are the pair of denim shorts I keep going on about, would you believe that until this pair I actually didn't own a simple pair of denim shorts, crazy I know! I found these on New Look in the sale for around £10 which I thought was a bargain. They are not too short which is what I love about these as I am rather tall so can find it hard. As I've mentioned these are perfect for the summer and I will definitely get my wear out of them.

This pair of shorts are from H&M and again I found these in the sale. I absolutely love the pattern of these and think with a simple white tee, vest or crop top these would look great. Again they are not too short which is great for me and you other tall girls out there! They have a stretchy waist which is perfect and comfortable too.

This denim skirt is from Asos and I am absolutely in love with it. This style of skirt has been everywhere recently and I really love it. This is from the tall section on the Asos website and is the perfect length for me. It sits just above my hips and I find that it makes it super comfortable. It can be paired with pretty much any top and is so versatile.

And finally this top is from Asos also and is a staple in anyone's wardrobe I find. As I've mentioned I love anything with stripes on and a long sleeved stripe top is a must. This is a great style and is again from the tall section. It's still slightly cropped on me but not too much and can still be tucked into skirts and shorts etc. The material is super soft which makes this even nicer.

That's everything from my recent fashion haul and I hope you've seen something that you like or something that's given you some inspiration. There are so many inspirational styles out there at the moment which make me want to buy even more clothes. I am hoping the UK see some more sun in our "summer" if not then I cannot wait to get away on holiday in August :-)

Boohoo wish list

1. Floral Oversized Smock Top

2. Fisherman Jumper

3. Floral Midi Skirt

4. Space Dye Cardigan

5. Digital Rose Print Jumper

Well what a blustery morning it is for those in the UK, I've already ventured out to work whilst it was like playing dodgems on the roads avoiding fallen down trees and branches, and I've come straight back home again. Unfortunately there was absolutely no electricity at my nursery so I've got a day off, woo hoo! Although I really wished I could have stayed in bed other than getting up, using liquid eyeliner as whiskers to make me look like a cat (we were supposed to be having a Halloween party today). So overall it's been a pretty hectic morning already so what better post to do than a wishlist, actually it's pretty bad because in this mood it's twice as tempting to buy.

Normally Boohoo isn't somewhere I would normally shop, no real reason there's just so many websites I forget half of them when browsing online. But I came across it the other day and found some bloody lovely things if I do say so, I simply fell in love and then made a wish list. Boohoo is a relatively cheap online site which offers everything fashion and accessory wise so it's perfect.

Firstly the smock trend, it's been about for a little while and seems to just be everywhere, don't get me wrong I love the trend it's just one of those 'can I pull it off myself?' kinds of trends. So on Boohoo I located smock tops which I thought was different to the usual smock dresses I've seen. They had a few patterns to choose from, mostly floral, and to be honest I liked all of the patterns but this one seemed the most autumnal out of all of them colour wise.

Oversized jumpers in the Autumn/Winter is a must have for me! I literally live in them so the two in this wish list are no exception! The plain olive green one looks super chunky and again comes in many different colours so if the green isn't your favourite definitely check out to see what other colours they offer. I would definitely get these in the next size up too so that they're nice and warm but that's just how I like to wear them. The other jumper in this wish list is pretty similar but this one has a really pretty floral pattern on, I've seen this kind of jumper before and really like the pattern. Again as the other jumper there were a couple of other colours to choose from and again I'd get it nice and big for the winter.

I seem to have a bit of an obsession with midi skirts and seem to have collected a fair few since the summer, so it's no surprise that I've included one in this wish list. I love this one as it has autumnal colours in and obviously floral which again is very in for the season. I think paired with a chunky jumper and some boots it's the perfect outfit for autumn and then adding some chunky tights when it gets even colder in the winter (which it definitely will do if you're living in the UK like me, boo!)

Finally a chunky knit cardigan, they're always in because the look of them is just so effortless. Cardigans always seem to be the one thing in my wardrobe that I do not have enough of, especially chunky knitted ones like this one. It's also a gorgeous space dye print of blue, purple and red which I really like and not just your simple plain cable knit ones (which I also absolutely love). This one is also priced really well compared to other knitted cardigans I've seen which I think can sometimes be a bit too pricey so that nudged me towards this one as well I must say. Cardigans can be worn with literally everything and anything so they really are a staple piece like the chunky knit jumpers.

So that's my Boohoo wish list! I'm holding out until payday on Friday when hopefully all of these beauties will be mine, hehe :) I'd love to know what you think of Boohoo and if you've shopped there before! Now it's time to chill and watch a bit of This Morning, happy Monday!

eBay bargains

1. I love these heated eye lash curlers, I've had about 3 now and although they don't last the longest amount of time they are so cheap that it doesn't even matter! They curl your eyelashes within seconds and you honestly cannot go wrong buying these. You can get them here

2. I've seen these Pop nail varnishes floating around the blogging atmosphere for quite some time but have never actually tried one myself. But I've found them on eBay at such a cheap price and the range of colours you can choose from is huge! You can get them here

3. For quite some time now I've needed to find a new way of storing my necklaces, they can't hang on the side of my mirror forever (trust me, I think it might topple soon). So the hunting on eBay continued until I found this cute shabby chic necklace holder. It fits in perfectly with the theme of my room and I think it's a great way to keep your necklaces looking pretty and tangle free. You can get it here

4. How cute is this case? My friend had one a little while back but I never actually ended up purchasing one, until now. I don't know why but I seem to go through phases with phone cases and for ages now I haven't purchased a new one and for 99p I couldn't exactly say no. They also come in a range of pretty colours! You can get them here

5. Again I've seen these phone cases around for quite some time but again never taken the plunge. I absolutely love the look of these ones but just keep thinking 'it must break?' But I don't care, Millie Mackintosh has got one so why not, ha ha. Also in a range of cool metallic colours. You can get them here

6. Finally I've wanted to purchase some nail wheels for such a long time! And I finally did so. It's such an easy way for us bloggers to really show what a nail colour looks like, when it's actually not on your nails. I picked up 10 wheels which I think will last me a pretty long time and I'm excited to try them! You can get them here

I hope you enjoyed this quick post and find yourself some eBay bargains! I absolutely love eBay for all these cheap bits but also for finding clothes too. I also love selling bits on eBay too for that extra bit of money (I'm actually selling some bits on there now if you would like to check them out: here) Are you a fan of eBay? What bargains have you found on there recently?

Massive Collective Haul

Hello everyone! I've literally been meaning to write this haul post for a very long time but I always find it difficult to transpire the products through as few pictures as possible so it's not a gallery. So fingers crossed this one comes across well :) I've purchased these bits over the past month or so, so although it looks like a lot (I know it is I just try to justify it) it has been over a period of time! Anyway I'll get on with it... 

Orange Dress - H&M 

As soon as the H&M sale hit online I was straight on there. This particular dress I actually got a few months back but ended up returning it due to never wearing it, then it turned up in the sale for less than half price. Yes it was a bargain at only £7 and left in my size which is always a bonus. I couldn't help but purchase it again and feel less guilty about the purchase. It's a lovely chiffon floaty material and I don't own anything in this rustic orange colour so it's a lovely addition to my wardrobe.

 

T-Shirt - Primark

A slightly boring purchase but this is the only thing I purchased when popping into Primark with my mum, weird. It's just a simple grey tee but has a slight edge with black suede sleeves. It's nice and oversized so easy to just chuck on with a pair of leggings on those lazy days. And with this only being £4 you can't really go wrong. They did also have this in other colours too so I may pop back for some others!

 

Lace Top - H&M

Another H&M sale purchase, recently when I was scouring my wardrobe looking for pretty/girly t shirts.. I just didn't have any!! Shocking! So my hunt started here and this is the first one.. I believe it was £5 in the sale and is a lovely nude pink colour with pretty lace detailing at the top. It also has scalloped edges on the sleeves which I think is a nice little touch. I think it can be dressed up or down which I love about this.

 

Floral Jeans - Monsoon

Another work purchase, as soon as I saw these jeans first thing in delivery I loved them. Ditsy floral print is such a summer staple that never seems to die out. There quite a thin denim which is also nice for summer and teamed with a plain top I think this is a staple. I believe these are £45 but are amazing quality.

 

Lace Dress - H&M

Another H&M sale buy, again I've had my eye on this dress for a long while so was pleased to see it go into the sale. To be honest I can't remember the exact price but either £7 or £9 comes to mind. Everybody needs a LBD and here's a new addition to mine. It's got lovely lace panels on the sides and another one at the back which is lovely. Also it's a nice length, not to short, not to long = bonus!

 

Tye Dye Dress - T K Maxx

My first trip to T K Maxx happened a couple of weeks ago with my sister and definitely found some good bargains! This is also my first midi dress, it was a good day of firsts. I absolutely love this one! It's a lovely print, black and white, and a lovely length. It's also a thin fabric for summer and not too restricted. I believe this was £12.99 which is an absolute bargain and I know I will get lots of wear out of this. I'll definitely be going back!

 

Coral Dress - T K Maxx

Another one of my purchases from T K Maxx is this gorgeous coral dress, I could not believe my eyes when I read the price tag, are you ready? This was £8!!! Yes it was a steal! It has a lovely lace detail peter pan collar which I love and again I don't own a dress in a coral colour so is another lovely addition to my wardrobe. This will be perfect for a night out and I honestly cannot wait to wear it :)

Purple Jumper - H&M 

Guess where this is from, ha ha! H&M sale is genius. I already have one of these jumpers in a lovely orange colour so when they then got reduced in the sale I grabbed this one. It was reduced to £7 which is again a bargain and it's such a gorgeous colour. It comes up rather neon in the picture and it is rather bright but maybe just not that bright! It's perfect for summer as it's light weight, 3/4 sleeves and neon colours seem to be everywhere this summer.

Star Midi Skirt - Topshop 

The Topshop sale was also pretty decent but I managed to stop myself and only purchase the one thing! But I have honestly wanted this skirt for such a long time but always thought it was rather pricey. So when it was reduced to £12 and then the woman asked if I was student and gave me the discount anyway meant it was only £10.80! I absolutely love stars so this is right up my street. It's a simple grey midi with black stars dotted all over. I think this can be dressed up or down with a nice crop top.

 

Lace Socks - Topshop

I went slightly sock crazy in Topshop, you'll see just why slightly further down. These were 3 for £8 but somehow I managed to get 4, ha ha, I couldn't choose between the colours. I got a nice pale blue, olive green, coral and lemon yellow. Perfect for summer with converse or the other thing down below... keep reading ;)

 

Floral Bando - Accessorize

I've been seeing many bloggers with floral crowns recently which I love on certain people but don't think I would like them on myself and don't want to take the plunge. So I opted for a slightly more subtle one from Accessorize. I believe this is around £8 and is just so summery I think it would look lovely with so many different outfits. It includes so many different colours and types of flowers which I love and it's noticeable but still quite subtle at the same time!

 

White Floral Bag - Asos

My beautiful beautiful bag... Isn't it just so god damn pretty. Browsing the Asos sale and coming across this pretty was the highlight of my day and it was half price!! At only £17.50 I couldn't resist buying it! It's a lovely size, has a longer strap and shoulder straps the only thing I'm scared about it getting the white dirty! Ha ha :)

 

T Bar Shoes - Topshop

I love these... first time I looked they sold out in my size but I was patient and persistent and as soon as they came back into stock I ordered them so fast! They are so adorable and these are the reason to the sock craziness above! Just imagine these shoes with those pretty lace socks, aaahhh it's to die for! I cannot wait to wear these with cute dresses etc, they just make me so excited! They were only £30 as well which for a pair of shoes is pretty reasonable if you ask me.

 

Make up - Boots

Recently Boots had a buy one get one half price offer on all make up so I took advantage and purchased these goodies. I got a Rimmel Salon Pro nail varnish in Barmy Blue which I have already reviewed, Maybelline Super Stay 24hr concealer, Collection white eyeshadow and Rimmel lipstick in Notting Hill Nude. All things I've wanted to try/needed for a while so thought it was a good time to take the plunge. I'll do full reviews soon :)

 

Lipsticks - Accessorize

Sale has hit at work and I found these beauties in the 70% off section and all for just £1.50 each! What a bargain I couldn't then resist to only get one shade so picked up three. From left to right I got: Velvet Pink, Vintage Rose and Coral Crush. They're all so pretty and summery and lovely additions to my small but growing collection of lip sticks. I haven't properly tried these out yet but for the price tag I can't complain too much yet and cannot wait to test these out in the coming summer days as I can see them being perfect!

Phew I've picked up a lot, he he! But all necessary of course ;) I hope you enjoy reading and seeing what I've purchased over the past month. I'd also love to have a nosey at your latest haul posts if you have any so leave them below as I love reading hauls! I'll speak to you all soon! XO

Huge Haul

Hello Ladies!

Well recently it seems that I have been purchasing rather a few bits here and there so what better way to share it other than a huge haul post? :) I think I may have got a little bit carried away at times but when I'm so addicted to clothes and beauty bits I just sometimes can't seem to help it! I also think over the past couple of weeks I've been feeling a bit down mainly due to work but fingers crossed things will soon get better. All these bits are what I've purchased just over the past couple of weeks so I shall start now..

First of all, probably one of my favourite items of clothing I've purchased.. disco pants! I had been eying these up on the Topshop website for quite a while but never took the plunge mainly because I was unsure about what size to order. I'm always reading the reviews people leave on the Topshop website and people were saying that they needed a smaller size and so on so thought it may be best to go in store. So one lunch break I popped in and tried them on and instantly fell in love! They are the most flattering pair of trousers I own, I honestly think they could be perfect for any occasion whether it's a night out or day shopping. They were only £30 as well which I thought was amazing considering the American Apparel ones are more than double that!

Next I was browsing the remains of the Topshop sale and came across this beauty. The main reason I clicked on this to begin with was the price tag... it was only £7! *gasp* Also recently I've got a thing for turtle neck jumpers (I've also ordered 2 more from H&M which unfortunately haven't arrived yet) but I just think they look the most cosy and comfy jumpers ever! This one is for more warmer weather as it is very thin but I have been wearing a long sleeved top underneath when it's chilly so it is versatile. It also came in a few other colours; navy and olive and to be honest I wish I has bought another colour as I love it. Considering it was £20 full price it had a lot of money off it which was perfect.

Confession: I've had this top for AGES and I actually forgot about it! I found it in my wardrobe a couple of weeks back still with the tags on tucked away at the back which is really not like me. I'm usually one of those people who buys something new and then wears it straight away!Anyway I found this and that night I was heading out with my friends from work so thought this was the perfect tee to team with my new disco pants featured above. This is just a simple black oversized tee and if you know me I'm more of an oversized, floaty top/dress kinda girl as apposed to bodycon clothing. This has rolled sleeves as well which is always a little feature I love on tees. This also came in many different colours so think I will definitely be investing in more! I think this was around £18.

Next I got this shirt from work as my new uniform. I usually try and pick something that I would wear outside of work or again when I no longer need to wear it for work. Sometimes that doesn't always work though, I seem to wear it to death at work! Ha ha. But I really loved this pattern and although I really am not a fan of butterfly's, I loved everything else about this. I thought I would be able to wear a necklace under the collar and either roll the arms up or down so I thought it was really versatile and perfect for work.

Some body purchases I picked up recently were from Soap and Glory and I absolutely love Soap and Glory. All of their scents and products I find amazing. After seeing so many people pick up the new Sugar Crush body wash I had to jump on the bandwagon and do the same. Omg the scent is gorgeous!!!! If you have not smelt or picked this product up yet you definitely have too! I got this from Boots for £6.50 which is probably the most I've ever spent on a body wash but I couldn't leave it. Next I got the Mist You Madly body spray, the body spray that was in my handbag had recently run out so I decided to pick this up again simply because the smell is lovely. I picked up the smaller bottle as I just wanted it for my handbag and this size bottle was £3.50 from Boots also.

Now call me silly but I kept heading into my local Boots and just couldn't find the main Soap and Glory section. I always found the make up and face lotion and potions but never the main section (I finally found it recently hence why I purchased the two Soap and Glory items above he he) Anyway I'd been wanting this product for ages couldn't find it in Boots so I went onto eBay. I picked up this bottle for 99p and £2 postage which was an absolute bargain! I have been using this product a lot as due to work I'm on my feet all day and by the end of a week my poor feet are in agony so this product is a savior. Although on the bottle it says for best results use cotton socks after applying, I don't own any cotton socks (I have just ordered some) so have just been putting it on before bed then tucking my feet up in my duvet and have been loving the results! In Boots I know this product is £5.50.

I popped into New Look with my mum and sister the other week and clothing wise couldn't actually find anything I particularly liked so headed over to the jewellery section where I found these cute earrings. I'd been looking for some plain cross studs for a while so instantly grabbed them. I really wanted a silver pair but they didn't have any but loved them so much I picked them up anyway in gold. They were only £1.99 so I couldn't really complain. They are so easy to wear and just go with anything!

Yay for Primark! I headed in and found this amazing jumper! It's really hard to explain it's kinda bobbly, hopefully you can tell by the pictures! It's lovely and oversized again which I love, I think you can wear this just with jeans or even tucked into disco pants. It was a bargain at only £10 as well, it also came in a lighter colour as well so thinking I may have to go and pick that colour up too ;)

I love finding sneaky sale purchases at work! I picked up this really pretty notebook that was a bargain price at only £1.80!! I couldn't believe it, it's so pretty and thought it would be great to use as a blogging notebook so I can keep all of my blogging bits together. I usually would just use the notes section on my phone but want to start writing them down. I think it would then be nice at the end of the year or a few months down the line to remember what you've down and all your thoughts etc. inside there are different sections: one main part for writing then on the other side there are little notepads that say 'reminder' and 'notes' etc which I think is really cute.

When I was in Primark when I picked the jumper up I also found this necklace in the reduced section. I had previously seen this is one of Tanya Burr's recent hauls and loved it. I thought it would just easily go with anything rather plain and would instantly jazz it up a bit. It was originally £5 and reduced to £2 but all of them were broken so I asked at the till and she said I could have it for £1 then when I got home I easily fixed it so it was an amazing bargain! I recently wore this with my disco pants and Topshop oversized tee on my works night out and loved the look. I also really love the colour of this and think it will be great in the spring/summer.

I went a bit mad on eBay the other night and put a sneaky bid in on this camera in the last few seconds and 'accidentally' won it! He he. I had been wanting one for quite a while so when I saw this one on eBay and it was PINK, I wanted it even more. I loved the fish eye effect pictures as I think they're so different and look really awesome. Although I've now received the camera I now need to purchase some films for it so that I can start taking cool pictures! I've heard good reviews about these cameras so really can't wait to try it out for myself. I got this on eBay for around £28 and on the website they are £45 I believe. So yes I'm really excited so if any of you have tried these also I'd love to know and see the pictures you have taken!

Finally when I picked up the Topshop jumper I also found these beauties. I absolutely love Topshop shoes as I always find it hard to actually find a pair that fit my feet properly as not many places so half sizes. So I always have to end up getting the bigger size and then putting insoles in them so that they fit. But Topshop shoes fit me perfectly, NO insoles! Which is why I love them so much. I actually have this pair in plain black with the studs on them but have pretty much worn them to death. So when I saw this pair on their website reduced from £28 to £7, I could not leave them. I love leopard print and am partial to a few studs so couldn't go wrong. I find their flats super comfy as well!

Well it feels like this post has taken me absolutely ages to write so I hope you enjoy seeing what I've brought :) If you've uploaded any haul posts lately then I'd love to see them and have a nosey at yours too! xoxo

Mickey Mouse

Top - ASOS (mens section)

Jeans - Primark

Necklace - Accessorize

Watch - Michael Kors

If you live in the UK you'll know to a lot of people today, it is a snow day. The snow fell late last night and is due to fall from lunch time for the rest of the day. I was due to start work at 9am this morning but to be honest, there was no way I was going to drive myself 40 minutes in this weather which would increase my journey time and probably leave me stranded when the snow falls. So here I am still in bed writing this post for you! We also had a lot of snow on Tuesday which left the city I work in at a stand still in which I had to abandon my car and get the train home which was pretty hysterical!

Anyway in other news, I've opted for a OOTD post for you on this snowy day. I got this top for Christmas and I am literally in love with it (as are my nieces who love Mickey/Minnie mouse). It's a quirky design and is lovely and loose fitting. The main reason for the loose fitting is probably because I picked it up from the mens section on ASOS. But is one of those t shirts that you can just literally chuck on with anything such as; leggings, jeans, disco pants, high waisted shorts or a skirt. So it really is versatile which is what I love as when I buy something I, like most people I'm guessing, think what I could wear it with that's already sitting in my wardrobe at home.

I paired it with jeans, these are my trusty pair of skinny jeans which are from Primark.. I wear them all the time! They are incredibly comfortable and admittedly very old! I have found that since going back to Primark to find a pair similar that the sizing has changed and they just don't seem as comfortable. But I'm guessing they may just need to be worn in as all skinny jeans but I have never yet taken the plunge into a new pair as I love this pair too much!

I then added an Accessorize collar necklace which I fell in love with when it arrived in store! It's a lovely teal/blue/green colour (hard to describe ha ha) but I think it can instantly just set an outfit off and can be paired with a rather loud patterned top or with something very plain as the key piece. Which again is something I love about it. It was rather pricey (thank god for staff discount) but I definitely would think it's worth it as it can be worn with many different outfits and styles.

So now I'm tucked up in bed I'm going to put a new DVD on and wait for more snow fall to come. If you also have a snow day today I hope you enjoy yourselves but if you're having to go outside then please take care :-) xoxo

Haul post #5

Hello Ladies! I hope you're all well and enjoying the new year so far.. Well recently I seem to have been purchasing a few bits and bobs here and there. Some of these have been from before Christmas and some after but I thought I'd save them up and put them all in a haul post for you. First thing, I had a blooper! I actually put the first shirt in this haul post in my 'What I got for Christmas 2012' post by total accident!! And for that I apologise, so if you've already read that post and have seen my first item, I did not get it for Christmas and actually brought it just before. The pictures were all jumbled and big woops!! But I'll continue none the less.

So first of all is a shirt I picked up in Primark, my friend picked it up first then when I saw it in her hands I had to go and pick one up for myself! It's a chiffon blouse and has the most beautiful collar which is the main reason why I love it. It's quite a large collar and has a sort of vintage look to it with embroidery, flowers and scallop edging. It really is adorable, although they didn't have my normal size I had to get a size smaller but it still fits well. The other good part, this was only £8, which is such a bargain. I also think this could be worn under a jumper with the collar peeping out :-)

Next I got this cardigan from H&M. It was in the sale and an absolute bargain at £10! It's black, but also came in cream, and it is really chunky and thick which has been perfect for the chilly weather we've been having. I got this in a size large just because I really wanted it to be oversized and warm and it definitely is that! The material is so nice so considering the price it was a steal and I'm so chuffed I found it. I'd been wanting a black chunky cardigan for so long!

It was Boxing day and I instantly hit the sales on the internet. I'm not one for going to the sales on Boxing day as I really don't understand who would, for me it's like a second Christmas day with the other half of my family. Anyway I clicked onto River Island to try and find this item and a coat I'd been eying up. I came across the coat first of all, I featured it in my November wish list, but unfortunately it was only left in a big size so was gutted. But on a brighter note I found this blazer I'd wanted before Christmas and was reduced from £35 to £20 and was in my size so straight away it went into my basket and ordered! It also arrived so quickly which I was really impressed about. It's a really lovely floral pattern with a vintage hint to it due to the colours I think. It's perfect to brighten up any outfit day or night so I'm really excited to wear this!

This next one is bargain of the year! I picked this back combing brush up in Primark, and you guessed it.. It was £1! AND it's pink! I couldn't believe it, I had actually been eying up one of these brushes on eBay and it was still only around £3 but I'm glad I waited. It might have only been very cheap but it works amazingly well and with a bit of hairspray after use it holds my hair really well. It's just as good as any other back combing brush I'm sure, so if you haven't seen one of these, then you should definitely go and find one in your local Primark.

For Christmas I got a gift voucher from my Aunt and Uncle for New Look so I headed into a local one with my mum the other day and found these babies in the sale. I've needed a new pair of jeans for a while as recently I've just been living in this one pair from Primark. I was searching the messy sale and I came across this pair of jeans in my size, shocking. They're a normal skinny jean but the label says something about shaping your bum and thighs? So even better, ha ha. They were reduced from £25 to £10 which is an absolute bargain and they fitted like a glove which I love because I'm always so fussy about jeans so I'm really glad I found this pair. Also I still have some money left on my voucher which is a bonus.

This DVD was a spur of the moment buy, was just in Tesco with my mother again and I always seem to head down the DVD and CD isle to see if I can find a bargain. I'm obsessed with DVD's and own so many of them and Tesco seem to always have the odd few for £3, which this one was. It's called 'Life As We Know It' I haven't heard of this one before but it has Katherine Heigl in it who I love. So my DVD collection is still ever growing and I can't wait to watch it.

Next is a little work purchase and these are so sweet. They're a pack of 3 little ladybird earrings in red, white and yellow. They are the cutest earrings ever! And obviously a lovely bargain with my staff discount ;-) he he. I think they are normally £4 from Accessorize. I just thought they were a bit quirky and different. I'm not normally an earrings person but have been loving these.

One night I was shopping eBay and came across this shop that sold millions of different bracelets, the thing that caught my eye was the price. They were all 99p, bargain, so I didn't think I could go too wrong. I picked up this spike one as we all know spikes are all the rage at the moment and I loved it. Thought it was just a simple chuck on bracelet that I would pretty much be able to wear with everything! The one downside was that it was coming from China which meant a LONG delivery time, but for 99p I really can't complain. I did also buy a skull bracelet too but don't have a picture uploaded yet, sorry!

I went shopping with my mum only the other day and came across this really pretty vintage shop in a local town and I literally could have gone made in there buying so many different bits and bobs! I stood my ground and only got a couple and again what bargains they were. The first thing I picked up was this really cute plate, it was only £2 so I just couldn't leave it there. It looks like a Cath Kidston print as well but for a fraction of the price. Next I purchased this sweet little heart decoration with a baby blue ribbon with spots on. I had no idea where I was going to place this in my bedroom but I needed to have it nonetheless. And it was only £1.49! The candle I picked up from Godfrey's simply because it smells amazing!!! It's vanilla cupcake which is gorgeous and again was only £1.49.

Finally me and mum popped into Tesco and I'd seen these candles around quite a bit but had no idea where to get them from but finally found them! I picked this Jelly Bean candle up in Bubblegum scent and it smells amazing. I really wasn't a fan of any of the other scents and I also have the matching air freshener for my car which is yummy!

Sorry if I've rambled on for a long time but I hope you enjoyed this haul post and go find yourself some bargains :-) I'd love to see some of your recent haul posts too! xo
