PRIMARK HAUL BARGAINS

Hey there gorgeous people. I popped into Primark a few days ago as it was payday and I wanted to pick up a new winter coat. I am not fooled by the odd sunny moments we are having in the UK (ha ha). I always have a warm coat with a hoodie for winter as I travel by public transport a lot and hate being cold. As well as picking up a coat I also got some great sale bargains. Yes SALE so read on so that you can run out and get them too :)

YELLOW SKORT

This is my very first skort. I never knew if I would ever pick one of these up, but the neon yellow and floral print of this little number had me hooked. If you are unaware a skort are shorts with a wrap front to make it look like a skirt so that your modesty is in tact. These have a zip back and side pockets. I got them in a size 10 and they are perfect with just a little room so that I don't feel they are riding up. They are quite see through, but I would only wear them over tights or leggings anyway. You will never believe that they were reduced from £7 to just £1.

BLACK & GREY SLEEVE SKIRTS

The sleeve wrap on dresses and skirts is more of an up to date trend that I have been wanting to get on board with. Yes you can just wrap something like a jumper or shirt around your waist, but if you don't want bulk at the back and you want the sleeves to be the same as the skirt you are wearing these are perfect. I got them in a size 10 also. They were reduced from £5 to £2 each.

PINK FLOWER TOP KNOTS (X2)

These pretty neon pink hair accessories are so cute. I am actually going to be styling them in a very different way so let me know if you want to see how in an outfit post? They were £1.50 each. They also came in a peachy shade and a wine red shade.

BLACK V NECK TEE DRESS

This is a great piece to have for days when you just don't know what to wear. The roll up hems on the sleeves are a subtle touch, but something more than just plain sleeves. I got this in a size 6 and on average I am a size 10. There is still plenty of room in this for me so bear that in mind if you do pick this up as I would say it is still a bit oversized. This was reduced from £5 to £2. It did come in white, but it was a bit see through. I wish I had got it now as I would have worn it for bed at least. This is a staple piece that I will wear all year on it's own or over leggings.

NAVY NYLON FUR PARKA

Finally the item that I went shopping for I found. This navy parka has detachable fur on the hood which has a gorgeously soft fleece lining. It has a front zip with poppers and two front pockets that have buttons (sorry not shown as undone). The waist has a drawstring with fasteners to keep it where you want it. I bought this in a size 12 because I wanted to wear extra thick jumpers underneath and I think that would have been a struggle on the arms. I did fit into a size 8 comfortably and as previously mentioned I usually buy a 10. As the waist is adjustable it doesn't look excessively big. The bottom part of this parka does stick out a bit like a tu tu which I would prefer it to lie flatter, but I can live with it. This also came in grey and I think Khaki and black. This parka cost £25.

So that's my haul. I think I got some great finds here which were very affordable. Let me know your Primark bargains in the comments below along with your favourites from my haul.

Love to you all

Haul: Primark, H&M, Topman & Nars

Ello, ello, ello Beauty Addicts. Are you all feeling good today? I do hope so. At the beginning of January I went on a little shopping spree to see if I could pick up any bargains, especially as the sales were on. Not everything in this haul post was in the sale, but I think it was still bargainous so here it is.

I will start with a little Primark goodness.

Studded Ankle Strap Pumps Black ~ £8.00

I wasn't sure how I felt about these at first because I don't have the most slender ankles, but I couldn't resist and I'm glad that I didn't. They are so cute and comfortable, but the studding detail toughens them up a bit.

Chain T-Bar Pumps Toffee ~ Reduced to £3.00

With the ankle strap again I was a bit concerned they might not look good on me, but these were reduced so they again went in the bag and I'm glad I got these too. I love them for all the reasons as the pair above.

Stud Wrist Strap Clutch Blush ~ £6.00

This is the clutch that so many bloggers and vloggers have picked up. It's a nice size and the wrist strap is removable if you prefer it without.

2 Mini Claw Hair Clasps Hematite ~ Reduced to £1.00

These are just a really handy thing to have and for £1.00 you can't go wrong.

Fur Hood Coat Khaki ~ £26.00

I have been on the lookout for a warm khaki coat with a fur hood for ages and I found one. It's lovely and snuggly.

Next up are my H&M purchases.

Golden Bouquet Eau De Toilette ~ £6.99

I have never picked up a fragrance in H&M before, but I gave this a sniff and quite liked it. I think it smells more expensive than £6.99. I also think it could be worn day or night.

Fedora With Bow Detailing Blue ~ Reduced to £7.99

I have had my eyes on these hats for some time online. I really wanted to get the red and black too, but I couldn't find them :(

I bought both of the H&M products with vouchers I received for Xmas.

Now it's Topman's turn.

High Roll Up Sleeve T-shirts (Burgundy, Green, Blue, White, Black, Ecru & Navy/Indigo) ~ £10.00 each, Link

In the link above you will see that there are many of these t-shirts on the Topman website. I went for the plain designs, but there are lots to choose from. I noticed a lot of people on YouTube had picked these up saying that they were better quality than the Topshop ones with a better fit and cheaper. I did not look at the Topshop ones in person, but by checking out this link I think you will agree as I do with all of the above. These fit me perfectly. They are a great length. Not too baggy or too tight and are not clingy around the arms. I would usually go for about a size 10 or 8/10 in a ladies t-shirt and these are a men's size XS if you want to compare. The middle row t-shirt on the right says Indigo on the tag, but Navy online which is why I labelled this t-shirt with both shades in the first photo.

Nars Orgasm Blush ~ £21, Link

I wanted to show this to you in two different photos so that you can see how natural lighting can change how it looks slightly. This picks up the light beautifully. It's like a blush and highlighter in one. I picked this up with some John Lewis vouchers I received at Xmas so this only cost me £1.00.

So all in all with my vouchers and the sales discounts I only paid £115 for everything here. I am really happy with my purchases and now I have more vouchers and money from my birthday I might go and spend some more whoopsie :)
