HAUL - PRIMARK, H&M & PEACOCKS

Hello beauties. Following my previous haul I have just a few bits that I have picked up in the last week which I am sure a lot of you will want to pick up for yourselves, especially as they are such bargain prices.

PRIMARK ROSE GOLD RUCKSACK - £9

My everyday fringed handbag was ripping near the handle and the other day the zip broke on the inside. Usually I always pick up a medium sized black handbag for my staple handbag as I like to carry just about everything inside for those just in case moments. I couldn't see any that I liked when out shopping with my Mum, but this beauty just shouted out to me. It is compact, but still fits all of my everyday essentials and has space for more if I need it. I love the rose gold shade which is obviously very on trend. The straps are adjustable and it has a carry handle at the top. There is a zip compartment at the front, one across the top and a small one on the inside with an unzipped pocket inside also.

H&M BLACK PLATFORM BOOTS - SIZE 5 - SALE PRICE £10

These ankle boots I will keep for as long as they will possibly last me. They feel like real quality and they are quite weighty so hopefully quite hard wearing. They slip on easily due to the elasticated sides and of course because they are black will go with everything. They give me a nice bit of height and to me seem like they could be mistaken for a pair of Vagabond boots, but without the price tag. These were reduced from £24.99 down to just £10. They don't seem to be in the sale online, but hopefully the site just needs to be updated.

PEACOCKS WOMENS BLACK PRINT CREPE TROUSERS - SIZE 10 - £14

These trousers are so comfortable. They have a slim leg design, but they are just a pull on style so no need to worry if you having one of those bloated days. They are a bit long for me, but I just tucked the cuffs at the bottom under and they look fine. I like the vibrancy of the colourful tropical print on the black background. These will be great day or night.

I tried on these PEACOCKS WOMENS ORANGE PRINTED CREPE TROUSERS

in the same style, but they came up a bit larger around the tops of my thighs and looked a bit baggy otherwise I would have got them too. They didn't appear see through either which is a bonus for a lighter fabric.

These also come in a floral print which they unfortunately didn't have in store. There is a stripe design, but I am not too keen on those.

I hope you enjoyed this haul. Take care and I will be back soon!

Love to you all

EVERYTHING 5 POUNDS LACE HEM JUMPER

Hi there everyone. I hope you are all happy and healthy. It's been one heck of a week let me tell you, but now I am taking a bit of time for me to blog, get more organised at home and spend some time with my boyfriend as we have next week off together. I haven't been off work since January and I could tell I was burning out so yay!

I do love to browse EVERYTHING 5 POUNDS daily. I have found some great pieces during my shopping experiences with them. Sometimes I have received items that have been faulty, but they allow you to send them back for free. I have had items that didn't fit and I haven's sent them back because I would have to send them back paying for postage myself so if it's say just one item I don't usually bother. If you exchange items for whatever reason they then post the exchange items to you for free.

In this haul I exchanged 3 tops in different colours that I didn't like the feel of the material and knew I would never wear for this item that I bought in three shades.

LACE HEM JUMPER (WHITE, BEIGE & BLACK)

I love the style of this piece as it gives the effect of a lace top poking out from underneath the jumper. It's quite simple and can be worn with anything to add a pretty girly touch of lace. Because the jumper is singular in colour it doesn't add too much fuss to the piece and means it's so versatile to add to so many outfits. Although we are currently finally having a nice bit of summer this is the UK so I am sure these will come in handy at cooler times. If not they are great staple keepers for A/W. This jumper also comes in shades of pink, cream and grey. I think the grey and beige might be mixed up on the website so bear that in mind if you order either of these shades.

Let me know your recommendations from the EVERYTHING 5 POUNDS website in the comments below.

Love to you all

HAUL - PRIMARK, H&M & ZARA

Hello sweeties. Today I have a haul to share with you including some sale items ......

H&M OFF THE SHOULDER BLUE AND CREAM TILE PRINT CROP TOP - SIZE M - £4 SALE PRICE

I love the blue hues in this crop top. It can be worn off the shoulder or as a normal top on the shoulders if preferred. It gathers at the top as well as at the bottom and on the cuffs of the sleeves. This is not too short as a crop top. I think it would look great with loose fit ripped jeans or a maxi skirt for a relaxed summer vibe.

ZARA BLACK TIE WAIST WIDE LEG CROP TROUSERS - SIZE M - £19.99

I have been enjoying shopping in Zara a lot more recently. They have some really key pieces at reasonable prices and a fantastic sale on at the moment. I have been after a black pair of crop trousers for a while, but I didn't want them to be too cropped. These are a perfect length for my height which is between 5ft 2-3 inches. They come up higher than the ankles, but nowhere near my knees. They are jet black, but I lightened this photo a little so that you could see the key features more clearly such as the side pockets and tie waist. The back of the waist is elasticated too. If you have any style suggestions on how to wear crop trousers please leave them in the comments below.

ZARA BLACK MAXI CARDI - SIZE S - £15.99 SALE PRICE

This maxi cardi is a slightly off black shade. The length is perfect for me again. It does not hit the floor even in flats. It may not look like much in this photo, but the fit of this cardi is perfection. It wraps neatly around my bust due to the lines of the fabric and skims down the length of my body creating a very slimming and put together silhouette. If they had it in more colours I would buy them all.

PRIMARK FRIENDS CENTRAL PERK RAGLAN TEE - SIZE 12 - £3 SALE PRICE

This tee is a great throw on piece to wear with jeans or anything else really. I bought a size 12 as sometimes white tees can look a little more see through if they are too fitted. Just a little tip there if you really like something white, but don't think you can pull it off due to the transparency.

PRIMARK CORAL & BLACK SOFT TOUCH JOGGERS - SIZE 12 - £4.50 EACH SALE PRICE

I already have these in hot pink that I am wearing today and a mint green. They are so comfy. I love to wear them at home on weekends. I think they are meant to be cropped, but you probably wouldn't notice they were on me. I find I have to size up in Primark joggers as they seem to be more fitted now. I find that a lot of their pyjama bottoms are actually leggings now too. I prefer a looser fit for lounging at home.

I hope you enjoyed this haul. Please share your bargains below.

Love to you all

CHEAP BODY FRAGRANCE

Hi lovelies. I have discovered some cheap body fragrances that I think some of you might like so here they are.

BOOTS BODY FRAGRANCES (CHIC DREAM, CLASSIC MUSK & PARADISE SHORES)

I thought these would be worth a go at just £1 each, but now they are just a crazy 75p each!

Chic Dream Bergamot & Berries I think would suit all ages and could be worn day or night. It has a slight warmth to it, but it's not overly heavy.

Classic Musk I really didn't like much. It smelt too much like hairspray. Very synthetic and cheap.

Paradise Shores Citrus & Red Berries is lovely. It has a zesty much more fun and youthful aroma. It's definitely more on the fruity side and my favourite of the three scents.

These do also come in these fragrances:

Floral Love Violets & Mandarin

Euphoric Mist Fruit & Sweet Amber

Pure Noir Vanilla & Juicy Peach

I know I didn't like the musk scent, but for fragrances this cheap I think they are worth giving a go.

Share your favourite body fragrances in the comments.

Love to you all

MICELLAR CLEANSING WIPES & EYEBROW FIBRE GEL

Hello my loves. I have two fantabulous make-up/skincare products to talk to you about that will give you perfect brows and remove your make-up so much more quickly and easily.

B. PURE SENSITIVE MICELLAR CLEANSING WIPES

I received these as a Xmas present and I have to say they are very well received. These wipes are perfect for make-up removal as they truly do take off everything including stubborn mascara. I still usually like to cleanse my face prior to using them while in the shower, but they do a perfectly good job on their own if you are in a rush or having a lazy day. They are perfect for sensitive skin and do not irritate my eyes. They are said to remove waterproof make-up although I haven't tested them on that. They have a ph balanced formula which they say tones the skin. I really do enjoy using these wipes. They feel so satisfying when removing make-up because I am assured all of it has been removed and they do make my skin feel great. Plus they are just £1 per pack at Superdrug!

MODEL CO MORE BROWS EYEBROW THICKENING FIBRE GEL

I received this tube of happiness in my LIMITED EDITION KAREN MILLEN LONDON SKYLINE GLOSSYBOX. I have the shade medium/dark which is perfect for me. It is not too dark or warm, but a medium ash shade. The formula is fantastic to add a little more of a groomed look to my brows and keep them in place. The fibres do not fall onto my face and are not at all noticeable once applied giving a very natural yet put together brow shape and shade. This also comes in the shade light/medium which again appears to be quite cool toned so great for lighter haired beauties.

Share your favourite make-up removal and brow products in the comments below with reasons why you love them so much :)

Love to you all

PRIMARK HAUL - MAXI SKIRTS, PLIMS & PJ'S

Hi Everyone! Spring is finally upon us thank goodness. I love brighter and longer days as it puts me in a much better mood. When it gets warmer in the summer I will truly be in my happy place :)

Today I have a Primark haul with of course some great bargain finds ....

CANVAS PLIMS (CHARCOAL & WHITE) - SIZE 5 - £6 EACH PAIR

I already have these in black/white and a dark purple. They are so comfortable and easy to throw on with jeans or leggings. I think the white ones are a wardrobe staple that would also look great with summer dresses.

IT'S SO FLUFFY PJ TOP - SIZE M (10/12) - £7

This pj set did come as separates. I might have sized down on this top, but because the sleeves are more slim fit than the top itself I will stick with this size.

IT'S SO FLUFFY CUFFED PJ BOTTOMS - SIZE M (10/12) - £7

I love cuffed bottoms as it saves me tripping over running up and down the stairs. These are true to size and go perfectly with the top.

PLAIN CHEESECLOTH MAXI SKIRTS (KHAKI & NAVY) - SIZE 10 - £10 EACH

These are so lightweight which will be great for when it gets a bit warmer. They feel so comfortable and are very versatile. They will look perfect with off the shoulder tops, vests, tees and much more. The waistband is very stretchy so perfect for bbq's ;) I really like the casual vibe of the side pockets and because of the material creases will not be really obvious. Bonus!! I will have to wear them with a slight wedged shoe as they are a little bit long, but that's fine. I only wish they had more colours :(

OATMEAL THUMPER CUFFED PJ BOTTOMS - SIZE M (10/12) - £7

Again these are super comfy and true to size. They are cute, but quite neutral in tone so easy to pair with plain tops.

I hope you enjoyed this haul. I will most likely be popping to Primark again in the next week or two so watch this space for more goodies!

Love to you all

PRIMARK HAUL BARGAINS & CONVERSE DUPES

Hey everyone. I am going to get straight into today's post as I found some Primark gems for you including some converse dupes!

CONVERSE DUPES (BLACK/WHITE) - £6

I am so glad that I nabbed these bargain plims as they are great to throw on with just about anything for casual styling. The fact that they are monochrome too makes them so much more wearable. I already have them in a dark purple shade too. For just £6 I think they are a must have. Mine are a size 5 and true to size.

WIDE RIB JUMPER (RED, NAVY, GREY, GOLD, BLUSH & MULTI) - £8 EACH

I already have this in black, olive and ivory. They are great for wearing with jeans over a vest or shirt. I have also worn mine over maxi dresses to make the dress look like a skirt. They are stretchy, but fit well. I got a size 12 as I am a bit top heavy and they fit perfectly. The sleeves sit nicely at the elbows which is great for ladies not wanting expose their upper arms. I keep surprisingly warm in these too which is great as you can still look put together without feeling the chill. I think these are great for transitioning between seasons too because of the layering options.

LACE UP RIB JUMPER (KHAKI, IVORY, BLACK & BLUE MARL) - £10 EACH

I have been after some of these lace up style tops for a while, but I have found them to be made of a material I didn't like, a bodysuit or just too expensive. These were a bargain price. They are made from acrylic which I do find can make me a little too hot sometimes under my arms (sorry if TMI, but you may want to know this). I plan on wearing some thin long sleeve tops underneath to hopefully combat this problem. I would like some in a cotton material so if you know of any please let me know in the comments below.

Also do share your Primark bargains.

P.S. If you need to buy any foldaway bags to keep in your handbag Primark sell them from £1 and they come in their own pouch!

Love to you all

H&M HAUL

Hi beauties. I picked up some pieces from one of my favourite stores recently as I had some Xmas vouchers so here they are :)

SUIT TROUSERS WITH PLEATS

These black trousers have a D ring buckle which is very on trend at the moment and a wrap over element to conceal the zip. I plan on wearing them with fitted tops tucked in. They have a very smart casual vibe. I got these in a size 12 as they are slightly higher waisted than styles I usually go for and because I have a short middle I found that going up a size meant they fit slightly better. They are also a great length for me which makes a nice change being a shorter gal. Such great value for the price!

LONG KNITTED DRESS

This grey marl knitted dress is a great length on me too. I did pick this up in an XS as it does come up quite oversized. I really struggled this year to find knitted maxi dresses that weren't bodycon or super expensive so I had to snap this one up. It's a shame they only have one shade, but hey ho. The material is a lovely soft knit, but I will have to wear long sleeves under it as it will be a bit itchy on my skin. I'm a sensitive girl don't you know ;) This will be great to add belts to and layer over leggings, shirts etc .....

If any of you have spotted bargain knitted maxi dresses that you think I might like please let me know in the comments below.

PRIMARK HAUL - BASICS

Hey lovelies. I popped to Primark recently and wanted to share with you my basic pieces including some winter comforts.

T-SHIRTS (L-R: TEAL, MAROON, NAVY & GREY) £1.80 EACH

I got these in a size up for a slightly oversized casual look. They are so soft and such a bargain price that I will definitely be going back for more colours.

COSY SOCKS (L-R: LIGHT PINK, CORAL & MINT) £2 EACH PACK

There were so many colours and designs to choose from, but I love the ones I chose. There are 2 pairs in each pack. I wear these instead of regular slippers and some of my old ones definitely need throwing out.

FOLDAWAY SHOPPER £1

I love the London theme of this shopper bag, especially the COR BLIMEY! banners. It's a great size and comes with the little pouch shown above.

What are your recent Primark bargains? Share them in the comments below.

Love to you all

BOHO PRIMARK HAUL

Hi loves! I hope your weekend was fantastic. I caught up with a friend of mine which was lovely. Retail therapy always adds to the joy so here is Primark haul for you :)

QUILTED PURSE - £6

My purse was looking a little shabby. I have been using it for years. This new addition I am in love with. It's more of a taupe pink shade than it is showing up in this photo. It has so many compartments perfect for all my bits and bobs.

FRINGE TASSEL BAG - £12

My last handbag broke. I like a large one for every day use with just one compartment so I can chuck things in. Black is my preference for every day. The handle means that the bag hangs at a really nice level (not to high or low). The fringe detail gives any outfit interest, but it's still wearable with so many things.

LACE YOKE BELTED TOPS - REDUCED TO £5 EACH

These were an amazing bargain. I think they look great with or without the belt. I have wanted this sort of style top for a while in crisp white, but I couldn't resist this amazing rust shade too. The sweetheart neckline is modest with the lace detailing around the collar. Because these can be belted I think they are great for girls like me with a little extra on top as usually this floaty style makes me look bigger than I am. I would usually buy a size 10 and sometimes as 12 on top, but I got these in a 6 and they are perfect.

So that's my Primark haul guys. If you would like a 'what's in my handbag' style post let me know in the comments below.

Love to you all

BHS BATH MATS

Hi lovelies. I have a wee home haul for you today. It's just one item, but I picked it up in four colours, eek!

ESSENTIALS COTTON LOOP MAT

These 100% cotton bath mats from BHS are so soft. You can also pick up the pedestal mats and towels to match if you like. They are 50 x 80cm. The shades I have L-R are bright green, turquoise, light grey and electric blue. I already have ones like this in white and mid grey which is why I didn't get those. These also come in gorgeous bold shades of bright orange, bright yellow and bright pink.

Our bathroom is a very neutral slate grey, beige and cream so I thought these would add a bit of interest.

Share your ideas below for easy ways to style your bathroom.

Love to you all

RIBBED TRIM ROLL NECK JUMPERS - EVERYTHING 5 POUNDS

Hi lovelies. I have been throwing away a few jumpers recently that have gone a bit bobbly or have holes in so I needed to replace them. I found these bargain beauties at EVERYTHING 5 POUNDS.

RIBBED TRIM ROLL NECK JUMPERS

They are really easy to wear no brainer pieces to keep you warm, but looking chic throughout the A/W season.

I picked them up in 5 shades, but there are only the shades black, pink and purple left so hurry if you want them too.

Plus there is free UK standard delivery at the moment if you buy 5 or more items!

Have you picked up any bargain A/W pieces yet? Let me know your fabulous finds in the comments below.

PRIMARK HAUL - COSY IN SEPTEMBER

Hey lovelies. I went back to Primark this week and found a few cosy items prefect for the changing season.

CHARCOAL CUFFED LEG JOGGERS - MEDIUM (10/12) - £7

CHARCOAL KNIT TOP - SMALL (6/8) - £7

I love the #LAZY #RELAX #HAPPY slogan on these pieces. That's exactly how I want to feel when putting on lounge wear. I bought a smaller top as it did seem to come up a little large for me. The material is very soft and quite thin so I could wear a vest underneath the top to layer up if I want to. I like this set especially as it's quite understated with it's muted tone. The joggers have pockets too.

BLACK SEQUIN FLIPTOP GLOVES - £2.50

I love this style of glove. As my old pink ones were getting a bit bobbly I thought I would pick up this black sequin pair that will go with everything ready for the onset of winter.

BLACK SUPERSOFT SNOOD - £2

I had one of these previously which again I got my use out of and threw away a few months ago. This is another piece that is easy to pair with many items.

GREY FLORAL BOTTOMS - MEDIUM (10/12) - £6

I think these were £6, but there was no tag on them. These do come up a little large and are quite stretchy, but they will be fine for dossing at home. These too have pockets and cuffed bottoms. Perfect for short ladies like me.

So that's all folks. I will no doubt be going to Primark again soon as there are some other pieces I had my eye on, but couldn't decide if I wanted them at the time.

Let me know which bargains you have found in Primark lately in the comments below.

Love to you all
