Recent purchases!

Hi all!

I have recently come back from a lovely trip to London (more to follow on the main reason why I was there!), and was so excited to go into the new Tottenham Court Road Primark. I'd heard really great things about it and it definitely didn't disappoint! I have to admit I really dislike the Oxford Street Primark and have never bought anything in there, it just stresses me out, but this store is new and fresh, the interior is really cool, and there are no clothes on the floor! Yay!

Anyway they also had some really good sales! So here's a few things I purchased, it could have been a whole lot more, but in a way my poor feet saved my purse from getting any lighter because they were aching so bad, I just had to stop walking around!

I picked up this lovely black and gold detailed shirt, reduced to £5!
And this pencil skirt for a bargain £7!

 

I also picked up this lovely gold statement necklace, for £4. I've been looking for one to wear over my knitted jumpers and fell in love with this one.

                        

And lastly I just wanted to show you my new bag, I bought yesterday from a New Look store near my home. I was looking for something functional that would go with almost every outfit I own, and be big enough for all the crap I just have to carry around (just in case!). So this one was perfect and I'm sure I'll get loads of use out of it.

                                       

Happy Friday! x

Mini Haul

Just a little haul of what I got over the weekend...



Firstly I bought some earrings from Topshop which were half price so I got them for £6.25  for 3 sets of earrings which I think is really good value. I only ever wear gold jewellery as I find silver just doesn't suit me. I love the vintage look of these and think they'll get lots of wear.

Also this week I've been to Birmingham and eventually managed to have a decent look around Forever21, I went to their Oxford Street store last month but didn't have enough time to buy anything as I had a train to catch (and I think because I was just standing in awe for quite a while wondering which way to go in their jewellery section!) I bought these earrings this time....

Still loving the triangles! I also bought a top (which I wore yesterday, so couldn't photograph!), and some underwear (which I doubt you'll want to see!)

I also went to Primark whilst in Birmingham and bought the most Summery thing ever.....NOT!  Haha...suede imitation boots! I don't have any black booties and for £8 I couldn't say no, even if we are at the end of June!

And lastly I bought two more Revlon Lip Butters in Lollipop and Tutti Frutti....

Thanks for reading! Kelly

Primark AW12 Collection Look Book

Hello! I just stumbled across the Primark Autumn/Winter 2012 Collection on the Look website and thought I'd show you some of my favourites..
There's a lot of sleeveless collared blouses (yay!), blazers, colour blocking, and prints this season, and also a few grunge items like the mock Doc Martens.

Here's what caught my eye...

Pointed Contrast Wedge, £18

Just so classic and would go with so many outfits, they're quite high but the wedge and the ankle strap would make them easier to walk in (hopefully!)

 Pink Jacket, £15

Love the cut and the pop of colour that this would create.

Studded Slipper, £12

I love slipper shoes, but I still haven't managed to get my hands on the plain ones from Primark, none of my local stores have them, still searching!

 

Metal Tip Top, £6

I actually bought this yesterday, before I saw the new collection, I just really liked the colour and the collar tips. A bargain for £6!

 Quilted Faux Fur Bikier Jacket, TBC

I really like this but would prefer if they did it in black.

Houndstooth Print Shorts, £12

High-waisted printed shorts, what's not to love?

And lastly....

 Metal Bow Box Bag, £38

Love the colours and the bow design on this clutch bag, however I'm hoping that the price is a typo and that Primark aren't thinking of a new pricing strategy!

What were your favourite pieces? Would love you hear from you!

A few things I bought today...

I only nipped into town for an hour or so today so didn't end up getting much, just a couple of things from Primark and accessories from Dorothy Perkins. The weather was surprisingly warm though so I also went  to a little garden fete which had some jewellery stalls and ended up getting 2 pairs of earrings for 50p each! Bargain!

I'm having a serious obsession with clutch bags right now! This one was £8 from Primark.

My new earrings

Oh and triangles! Another new obsession, I just had to get something triangely! I settled on this necklace from DP's, on sale for £2!

Hope you all had a nice Sunday...back to a full week at work tomorrow..boo! :(
