Fashion Haul | Bohemian Style Inspired

Cooee,

So I have been doing little shopping trips so all the products I'm going to show you some of the bits I have been buying- it has not been brought all at the same time.

I have really been loving the Boho Style so I have been collecting the bits and bits for my summer wardrobe.

Lets Start...

Primark has some really nice pieces in at the moment so I would go and check it out if you have the chance. I got this beautiful playsuit for only £10! It has a small slit along the centre of the neckline as well as embroidered detail on the neck and chest. Also it has trimming along the arm holes and pockets.

Also from Primark, this dress which I believe was £5.  The material is silky has some stretch to it so its a comfortable wear. I would personally wear this as a day dress.

Topshop is really loving the 70s at the moment and have some lovely statement pieces. I got this shirt which is very sheer however it has the same neck line as the playsuit as well as small tassels around the bat wing sleeves.

Also I got a skort in the sale for £5!! I love the print and the blue/cream combination. It a way to introduce pattern and print into a look without it being overpowering.

H&M at the moment has my fashion heart. It has a mixture of all the trends without the designer price tag. The shorts have a suede texture to them. They are quite short on my legs so I would wear them with flat shoes. The top is from the H&M Coachella range so I don't know if its still I stores but I have seen some similar. Its a crop top and it has small panels of see through flowers. It has a tie neckline and on the end of the sleeves and body, it has elastic.

Boohoo is the best online shop for me as I know what material they use so I know my size I am. I should really have a look at the other shops but I'm scared to be honest. But I got this shorts which are high waisted. They do have pockets but this make the shorts mis-shaped.
 

Next is this dress , its in a similar style to the Primark one however its a different material. I love the print and the mix of greens and purples.

So that's some of the bits that I have been buying for my summer wardrobe, let me know what trends you have been loving.

Mini Make up Haul

Cooee,

Sorry it's late! I haven't had any signal where I'm staying!

So I have done a bit of makeup shopping recently and I thought I would show you some of the pieces that I have been buying.

NYX Eye Brow pencil 'Charcoal'

It looked grey at first but the shade 'Light Brown' (which I usually am) was too light. I'm hoping that this shade will suit my hair colour more. Also the idea of the product reminds me of Brow Wizz And I don't really want to pay high end prices and not like the idea so this is a good tester.

Stilla 'Twig' Eyeshadow 

I got this at a makeup outlet store so I only had to pay £1 which I couldn't say no to buying. I have heard good things about the brand and I'm excited to try it. It's a brown shimmer which I could wear everyday. 

Rimmel 'Drive Me Nude' Lipstick 

I'm going through a makeup phrase of wearing nude lips. So when I saw this, I wanted it to add to my collection. It's the typical 'Your lips but better' shade. 

Bourjois healthy balance Matte Powder

I have only heard amazing things about this product so I thought that I would try it. Also because the packaging is slim and has a large mirror , it's perfect for my handbag. 

Burberry Kisses 'Military Red No 109' & 'Nude Pink No 05'

I ordered these from Burberry as sample sizes. If you follow my Twitter then you would have seen me giving my friends the chance to get a sample themselves. I don't know if the campaign is still running but it's worth a try. I haven't tried them yet. 

MAC 'Quarry' Eyeshadow

I wanted the Cinderella Pallette from MAC however it sold out so quickly. But I only wanted one shade and that was Quarry so I brought this shade separately. 

MAC 'Grain' Eyeshadow 

I'm not going to lie but I only brought this shade because of the name. I know  that's not a good enough reason to some people but oh well. 

I believe that is all that I have brought in the last couple of weeks. Let me know what you have been buying recently.

Mini Airport Haul

Cooee

 

So as you may know from my last post ( well my friends post) that I have been on holiday. I went to the Spanish island , Mallorca. Even though it was October , the weather was lovely and even with a couple of clouds in the sky I managed to get a light tan. It was so nice to have a break from busy school work which is why I asked my friend , Georgia , to take over the blog. It seems to have gone down well and I may do another friend takeover soon.

 

Well one of the best things about travelling for me is the duty free at the airport. I didn't get much as I didn't really need anything and also the shop wasn't that big at the Mallorca.

 

 

Firstly, when looking about Dior which didn't have much , I noticed a MAC. It was a small stand but surprisingly had lots of goodies. I have been really loving soft brown lipsticks with pink undertones ( like Kylie Jenner )  , I found the perfect lipstick , HoneyLove Matt Finish. I know that its not Kylies Shade , Velvet Teddy I believe, but I don't think they had one. I wore this the same night to work and it lasted all night. Yes I had to work as soon as I got back which I think was a bad decision of mine as I was so sleepily!

 

 I believe that this shade would work well on every skin tone currently I have a tanned face and with a rose pink liner underneath to create a more pink undertone , it worked well.

 

 

Next when I arrived back in Britain, I saw a Benefit duty free counter. I have noticed on YouTube especially that more and more people are loving and using Hoola Bronzer. Again I tried this the same night for work and specially with my tan , it gave a lovely natural look. I also love the cute box it comes with. Also it comes with a brush.

 

I know I shouldn't of but I also got a giant Oreo chocolate bar. It was too good to resist! I am a holder when it comes to chocolate. For example, I still have chocolate from my birthday in February ( The dates are fine). So I know that this bar will last a LLONNNGGG time.

 

Sorry this is a small haul but again there wasn't much.

Collective Haul

Cooee,

Like I said in my august favourites that I would do a collective haul from the shopping trips that I have done, here it is. I did not buy all this at once which is why it is collective. I went shopping for nothing in particular on one of the trips which is why I got stationary. But I went out with my friends to go clothes shopping for school.

So I shall start with stationary. I got this from both whsmith and wilko and I will admit it's mostly pens. So I got a pack of black Bic pens as they were on special and I prefer writing in black. I also got a week planner so that I can work out and cope with the amount of coursework that i know I'm going to get. 

 

 From WHSmith , I got another pack of packs which are also Bic but they have a range of colour ( to help with revision) and two pens which have a end with can be used on a smart phone ( I don't know how to explain it so hopefully the picture with help). Also from there I got two rounded folders from coursework.

 

From New look ( two trips), I got a a-line skirt which has a checkered cream and red pattern. I need to alter it to make it fit my waist but it was a good find in the sale. Also I got a collared monochrome top , I love collared tops and shirts and when I saw this I could not stop myself buying it. I got it in a size bigger than normal has I wanted the length to tuck into any jeans or skirts. Top; £9 Skirt;£7 down from £18

 

Also from new look, I got a pair of black jeggings. I was not sure about these but my friends said they looked fine and I had a voucher so I brought them. They are simple but I don't have a pair of black jeans and I can match them with anything. They were £15.

 

From H&M , I got a long kimono. It's not as long as the full body ones but it feel that it's long enough as I think it would annoy me if it was any longer. I saw this on the model and i thought that I might as well try it on - I feel in love with it straight away. It was only £15! 

 

From Dorothy Perkins, i got a mid-skirt. They had a sale and we decided that we would go and have a look. I noticed this between a pair of jeans and a jumper and I'm glad I did. Me and my friend went to try on some items and I wasn't sure about the skirt. But I thought that if I changed my mind I would always take it back. It was £12 down from £22. 

 

From Primark, this Primark is new to the area and has three floors! I got three tops in the end which I thought was quite disappointing. But I got a boyfriend plain top (£4) and a plain white shirt(£9). I got these as they go with any thing. Can you see a theme with my recent purchases? 

 

Also I got a grey and pink pleated top (£8). I saw this in the model with a pink coat and I have the same coat but from Topshop so I thought I could easily match that with the top. I love how it's different as well and I have never seen one with pleats underneath the top.

 

Next I got a dress from the peacocks sale, I never really go on there for clothes as whenever I do I find nothing that I like. But while my mum went to get her eye tested , we decided we would go look around the shops and that's where Peacocks comes in. I got this dres which was only £9 in the sale. It's skater dress style and is a little longer which is perfect since I always complain that mine are too short for my long legs. It's pink and has a lace Peter Pan collar.

 

I also went into George Asda which I was recommend by my friends for jeans. While me and mum were looking round , we saw a dress which is a school girl look about it. I love the double collar and the colours. It was £16 and I will probably wear it with thin tights and cut out boots.

 

 

Also I got a pair of black skinny jeans for Asda and they have detail on the button as well as on the back pockets. They are a nice fit and comfortable too. 

Looking back it looks like I've got a lot but when it's in front if you and you take in to consideration that I need to while new wardrobe for Sixth form , I have not got a lot. 

Let me know of any items that you think Im missing. I am hopefully going to go proper school school very soon so I am help with what you get :)

Boohoo and Shopping Haul

Cooee,

Well I've been busy with school and exams so that why I've missed a week of Blogging and they have been a bit poor. I try and do a couple of posts ahead of time so that I don't have to worry but like I said I have been stressing. So much that I have been having problems with my skin .. weird I know.

So less of the sob story Gee and get on with what you got from your shopping trip.

Well, first of I took a look at BooHoo.com which I have been loving and hopefully getting most of my Post 16 clothes from.

I got a black skort which I wore to my actually shopping trip with another boohoo item , a blue collared top. Its so comfy and I love that it looks like a skirt from the front and a pair of shorts from the back. It was £15 which I think is great value and I will be wearing it a lot this summer and at school too.

Next from Boohoo are these Jelly shoes which I adore so much. They are comfy and go well with any outfit. I was going to get a white but I like this skin colour. These were £10 which is amazing value.

Lastly from Boohoo, I got a skater dress which is called a Pinafore Dress. I ordered my size however I found it was too big so I am sending it back and ordering a smaller size. Its soft stretchy material is comfy and I love the idea for wearing it to school with a white shirt. There was an option of black or navy , I ordered navy. ( NOT MY PICTURE )

To the actual shopping trip, I went for Prom bits. I'm not going to show everything as I want to do a post on it later. My prom is to celebrate Year 11's leaving school to move to another or to stay on. The prom itself is at the end of the month 28th. Next week I'm going to show some products that I have got for Prom to help those who need help finding the right products- make up wise.

But I thought that I would show you some now so that you can get an idea. Firstly I took at trip to MAC and got a face and body foundation in the shade N2 which is perfect for me. I Love how thin it was and makes a natural finish.

Also I got a pro longwear Paint Pot in Perky. A lovely pink colour which I'm planning on using as a base. The Lady in the store was so nice and helped both me and my mum get the products.

Then I went to house of Fraser , where I got my prom bag which was in the sale. So basically if you know me , I guess I have revealed the colour of my dress. Yes its Hot Pink which sounds totally un like me because I'm not a all pink girl. Just a dash of pink girl. Haha.

In Boots , I got a small bottle of Toni&Guy sea salt texturising spray. The smell alone is amazing let alone how amazing it makes your hair look. I used it on my mums hair after I curled it , it make it look amazing. She has short hair and it works just as well.

Lastly H&M, I went there last weekend and I saw these shorts which looked nice but I didn't have time to try them on. So this weekend , I tried them on , feel in love and brought them. They are high waisted. Sorry for the poor quality photo and the pattern is all around the garment. They were £12.99 and they look really nice with a plain white top and blazer.

So that's it really. Hope that you have a lovely spring/ summer. Let me know any good clothes shops for smart wear as that's going to be the next big shopping time.

January Sale Items

Cooee,


I went shopping the day after boxing day with my mum's best friend. She's an amazing person to go shopping with as she finds all the bargains.

Not far from where I live , there's a massive shopping centre which has lots of big brands. We left early that morning to get there before everyone. I thought that people would have the same idea as us , however, I was wrong it was pretty empty considering how busy it got during the day.

The first shop was Boots , a big drugstore here in the UK. Having a massive half price sale on , people were grabbing two of everything. I found lots of products which I liked but I wanted to purchase things which I needed or defiantly wanted.

Rimmel London was a makeup window ( don't know what to call it ) in the store, they had a three for two sale on all Rimmel products. I got a Stay Matte in Peach Glow , this is my favourite shade and product. Its great for putting over your foundation.  The next product was a skin coloured eye liner , I use it on my bottom water line to brighten up my eyes. The free product I got was a pink nail varnish in Strawberry Fizz. I wore this colour for new year and its like a hot pink colour.

Next was Topshop, they had a half price sale but I could not find anything that I really liked so that was disappointing , however, I brought some blue and cream frilly socks. My favourite :)

Then off to Forever 21 , I love this shop not only for the clothes but the layout of the shop. Sounds weird but I like that they have tops and trousers separate and the jewellery in the centre; its just an easy layout. I really needed a new jumper and the one I found was £19 down to £13. It has two black strips on both sleeves. Its thick and cosy along with the front coming to my hips and the back stopping bottom back. I love how oversized it is. I ,also, got a gold chain to go with the jumper and the next item. It was £5.

To River Island, I got a gold and black crop top. The material is loose and thin. Being both loose and crop, I plan on wearing a mid-skirt or a pair of black trousers. It was only £8 in the sale , I'm not too sure what it was before.

I found out that there was a MAC store in one of the department stores. So I wanted to go and have a look into their foundation and I needed an eyebrow shadow. There was NO sale but I got NC15 studio fix foundation and Charcoal Brown shadow for my eyebrows. It's very dark but the perfect match , I'm saving both for special occasions and possible makeup tutorials.

Next New look, I found a really cute black dress with , like leather, material detail around the neckline. I has a visible zip at the back which stops low back and adds to the dress. It was only £9 down from £20-30 , I can't remember the price before the sale.

Then I went to a Bare Minerals store which had a mini sale. I wanted to get a highlighter  but instead I got a face powder which goes over your make up during the day to help your makeup. I have not used it yet but I am going to put it in my school bag and hand bag , just in case. It was £10 down from the £15+ mark.

That was all that I got from my shopping day , then I noticed that Boohoo had a massive sale. I got two items , one from the sale and the other not. The sale item was a peter pan collar top. The print is really interesting and I thought that I would not like as much as I do.

Next was a Over sized skater dress, I wanted a dress that I could relax it. It , also , has a peter pan collar ( seeing a pattern ;) ). I Love the colour and the contrasting collar.

They , also , had no post and packing fee , so go and check that out. They also ship world wide and I will leave a link below. ( Im not sure when it ends)

Web Address-->  Boohoo


That's all my sale items and I'm pleased with my purchases. Let me know if you got anything in the New Year sales :)

Shopping Haul

Last week's shopping haul (finished)

Cooee,

Last week was my introduction to myself. I started a shopping haul but I not finish it. I did this for a reason because i wanted to go into great detail of what I brought. There is a lot because it was an 8 hour shopping day and come on who going to go shopping and not come back with anything?

So as I said before , I went to Bluewater a massive shopping centre. When we arrived (me and my mum ) , we went into New look. Being one of my favourites , New Look did not disappoint. With Christmas coming up, I needed something to wear and a little black dress  seemed to be the prefect idea. It was only £10 and a bargain at that. Having a small waist in proportion to the rest of my body, the skater dress was prefect for my figure. The zip at the back goes all the way down in the bottom of my back and needs a bit of a tug when getting on due to the where the seam is joined. The material is nice and thick and can be dressed up with gold coloured jewellery. There is a pattern on the material but its hard to explain. It's like a swirly , flowery pattern.Also, in new look I got some mid rings ( in previous blog) which I love and have been looking at for ages. They were £2.99 for four. I would not wear them at the same time like in the picture but it was just to show you what they look like.

As stated previously , I got some extra spending money from my dad which I spent in Superdry. I got another black dress which has a low back and it covered in flecks of sparkles. Who does not like a bit of glitter? It was £34.99 and is great value. It can be worn as a casual outfit or even dressed up with heels and black tights. The women in the store said that because of the body con like feel to the dress it can be worn tucked in with jeans. I probably wont do this but its always an opinion.



 Next in River Island, I was looking for some trousers but found a really nice yet very simple top. With the words "Fashion Addict" written across it , I loved the top and could dress it with lots of things In my winter wardrobe. This was the only item I got and at £15 , I believe its a must have.

I was still in need of trousers and I found a really nice pair in Forever 21.  When I first saw them , I admit they were my weird "try me" garment. My mum did not like them at all when I showed her the trousers but I was still un decided. Being black and green, I loved the pattern and the material is not flexible around the leg but is around the waist. They fall around the top of my ankle due to my height but I like that about them. The only thing I was a bit worried about was what could I match them with. I think that a simple black top will work. My mum actually liked them more on me than when she saw them on the hanger. So that's a bonus! They were £12 . 75 which I don't think is too bad since I found more expensive ones than these.

If you don't get blemishes then I'm so jealous of you! If I don't look after my skin then it looks horrible. But I have found a concealer/spot cleanser which actually works. Now you may be thinking , what is she on about spot cleanser and concealer? Well my friends , this bare minerals product is £15 and covers spots under your make up while stopping them from progressing further. It's called Blemish ready and is only small but comes with a brush too. You only need a small amount on the skin. It's yellow but once on the skin , is invisible to the eye. i would totally recommend this product.

I also brought a brush cleaner. Now I have real technique brushes which are amazing but are a nightmare to clean without any proper cleaner. This is amazing and actually cleans them really well. It's bare minerals called Quick change. Only £10 , its much cheaper than the mac cleaner ( have no used it ). The smell is alright but whose going to smell the brushes?

Looking at it now, there's not a lot but we did get other stuff which is not for me but others too. Like in the Disney store, I got a Christmas present for my little cousin. If you ever get the chance to go into a Disney store then do it no matter what age because you automatically turn into a little child. I had a picture with Cinderella, I love all the Disney princess'.

We did stop and have coffee and lunch through out the day. Having my first burrito, which was lovely and don't understand why I waited so long to have one, we brought some cupcakes. They were some delicious flavours such as red velvet and rocky road. We got four cupcakes and two favours , Banana and peanut butter. They were so taste , that I want the recipe.


I , also, tried the Costa Christmas range drinks. I had the white hot chocolate with cream and gold edible stars. Now I personally love white hot chocolate more than the normal hot chocolate. It was so good and I drank it straight away which is weird for me because it takes me ages normally.

Overall, we had a successful day in which we got lots of goodies. I loved spending time with my mum and had a laugh with her too.
