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
