Random haul!

Ok so this post was meant to go up before I went on holiday but I put up other posts instead, sorry. Anyway this is the other stuff that I bought for my holiday (the other stuff I bought is in my Primark haul here) so here is a lovely haul for you :D

Black dress from New Look – £9.99

Everyone needs a black dress. I’ve never owned a black dress before but I was in New Look and my Mum pointed it out to me and I fell in love with it when I tried it on, so  bought it!

 

Mint coloured top from H+M - £6.99

I thought that this would be really handy in America as it’s thin and loose and it did end up keeping me nice and cool on holiday.

 

Royal blue coloured top from H+M - £6.99

This is the same as the other one but in royal blue.

 

Leopard print vest top from H+M - £3.99

I LOVE leopard print so I had to buy this top!

 

Stripy vest top from H+M - £3.99

This is the same as the other vest top but stripy.

 

Hoop earings from Peacock - £1.50

I’m not really a fan of Peacock, but I did pop in and I saw that there were some really cool pieces of jewellery on sale so I had to buy them! These earings are so cool, I have to admit that I can’t see myself wearing them an awful lot however I think they’ll be fun for some special occasions.

 

Flower earings from Peacock - £3.50

Again these were on sale and I think that they are absolutely stunning! I’ve already worn them loads!!!

 

Bodycon dress from Apricot - £10

This was on sale and my Sister and Mum picked it out for me. I have never worn bodycon dresses because I feel that they amplify EVERY lump and bump I have, however I bought it for three reasons 1. My Mum and sister said I looked good in it 2. I think I need to get out my comfort zone once in a while and 3. My Mum offered to buy it for me ;D I have now worn it a couple of times and I do love it now!

I hope that you have enjoyed this quick haul! I have one more after this with the stuff that I bought on holiday, but after that I think I need to stop buying things or I’ll end up bankrupt before I’m even 18!

Have you bought any cool stuff for holidays over this summer?

Big bun without a doughnut

This is not a hairstyle that I do often as it can be time consuming, however I was really proud of how this turned out so I thought I’d share with you how I did it. I do have to say that the way I do this style will probably only work on long hair.

Firstly, I find that I can’t make a really big bun with freshly washed hair so starting with hair that’s a day or two old works best. I start by brushing my hair in to a pony tail, bearing in mind that where the pony tail sits is going to end up being the centre of the bun.

This is the step that determines a good bun from a great bun. Taking sections from the pony tail back comb it. Really get in to it and create layers of hair. The aim is not to create a mattered mess (Although it kind of looks like that) the aim is to build up a big mass of hair that you can work with and style.

Next, once you've backcombed all the sections of hair, take all the hair and twist it (as though you’re doing a small twisted bun) around into the shape of a bun. It usually takes me at least 3 attempts until I get it right. Then Use bobby pins to secure it in place an fix any other bits around the edge.

Finally to jazz this look up a bit I added the flower band around it (featured in this haul)

Hopefully you enjoyed this post and will try out this look!

Primark haul!

I went shopping in oxford recently and I wanted to share what I bought with you. I bought quite a lot so I’ve split it up into two hauls this one is a Primark haul and the other one is everything else I bought (can you tell what is my favourite shop)!

 

Shoes - £8

I didn’t have a pair of smart shoes and I saw these in Primark for only £8 and I had to buy them! They also look great with a bright coloured nail varnish on your toes because it just peeps out.

Flower band for a bun - £2

I love the look of flowers in peoples hair, I think it looks so girly, but I’m not confident enough to wear the big head bands so I thought that flowers around a bun would look equally as pretty and is easier to wear. Plus when I’m on holiday it will be hot so I’ll probably wear a bun because it gets my hair off my shoulders and this band will make them look fancier.

Bow hair clip - £1.50

I don’t know why I bought this but it looks really pretty and I will definitely be wearing it on my holiday.

Necklace - £3

This necklace looks so cool and for only £3 who could resist?

Top - £4

Originally my sister picked this out and when I saw it on her in the changing room I had to try it on and she kindly said that I could get it :D . It looks really cool over a white strappy top with denim shorts!

Shorts - £10

I only really wear normal denim shorts but I thought that I would go out of my comfort zone and buy these patterned shorts.

Shorts - £10

I bought these for the same reason as the previous ones. I love them both and they look great with bright coloured tops.

Checked top - £8

I love this top I just grabbed it on the way to the changing room and I’m so glad that I did. It looks amazing with the black short that I bought. I don’t know how but it looks dressed up and casual both at the same time.

2 White tops - £2 each

I never usually wear white as it makes me look really washed out however with a tan (mostly fake I admit) I look good in white tops. I bought two because they get stained easily especially when wearing sun cream and in holiday it’s hard to wash things, plus they were only £2 each!

Black shorts - £3

Black shorts go with anything, they hide dirt, they are flattering and they were only £3… do I need to say any more?!

 

I hope you enjoyed this post :D I love watching and reading hauls, especially Primark ones because Primark doesn’t have a website.

Have you bought anything from primark recently?
