Tottenham Court Road Primark Haul – April 2014

I haven’t done a big Primark haul in what feel like ages. So whilst I was in London last week I couldn’t resist going into one of their stores. Here is what I picked up.

Floral Shirt

P1050028I love the bright floral print on this shirt and I can already tell I will get a lot of wear out of this. £12

Disney Tops

P1050029P1050030

Primark keep bringing out the best Disney tops and these two are no exception, the lion king is one of my favourite ones I now own, they are such a bargain at just £6 each.

Pink Flower Cami Top

P1050032

It was the cute flower detailing on this top that caught my attention, perfect for summer. £8

Boyfriends Style Tops

P1050034
P1050035

I think these look much nicer on than on a hanger! I love these boyfriend style tops I think they look great with a pair of skinny jeans and a statement necklace. I hope these are made in some more colours for only £3.50 each.

High Waisted Shorts

P1050036

I have seen a few bloggers post pictures of these on and always thought they look great so bought a pair for myself to try. £10

Disney Make-up Bag

P1050038

At only £3 I couldn’t think of a reason not to pick this up.

High Waisted Bikini Bottoms

P1050037

I saw these posted on Primarks Instagram a little while ago and have been waiting to get my hands on these. I was actually sitting on the floor in the shop to rummage through the mess to try and find these in my size!

Limited Edition Statement Necklaces

P1050040
P1050042

The Limited Edition pieces that Primark produce are always on point and I couldn’t help but pick these pieces up. They are more expensive at £8 but they are still a lot cheaper than places like New Look & Topshop.

Limited Edition Belts

P1050044
P1050046

These are both so pretty, I’m not sure what I will wear them with yet but I know they are pieces that will stay in my wardrobe for a long time. Top belt £7 bottom belt £5.

Colour Your Hair Chalk

P1050043

I have no idea if these will be any good but i had to buy them to try. You get two different colours in a pack for only £4

Have you been to Primark lately? If so what did you pick up?

Matalan Haul

Matalan have had some really nice things in for SS14 & here is what I managed to pick up.

Midi Skirt

IMG_4506

This skirt caught my attention straight away, I love the colours of it and the clear strip at the bottom. I’m not sure how I will wear this yet but I think it will be a great piece for summer. Cost £18

Slogan Tee’s

IMG_4513IMG_4520

There was a few diffrent types of slogan tees but these two were my favourite. At only £6 each they are a bargain!

High waisted Trouser

IMG_4508

These are more of a thick leggings than trousers. I have worn these a few times already. They are great to style for everyday or a evening out. I’m sure these will be up in an OOTD post soon. Cost £16

Floral Clutch Bag

IMG_4530

I’m a sucker for a nice handbag and I couldn’t resist this one. The look of it is a vintage worn out bag which I love. It is a good size so could be used during the day also. I’m not a massive fan of the gold chain but luckily this is removable. Cost £15
Pink Tumbler

IMG_4532

I happened to see this when I was strolling around the store, my NYC one is getting a little old now so for £3 I treated myself to a new one. They also have this in a few diffrent colours.

Heart Basket

IMG_4535

There was lots of cute heart pieces in the home section, I picked up this for a bargain price of £4. I am planning on using this to store all my samples and make-up I am yet to try.

Have you been into Matalan recently if so what did you pick up?

Pretty In Pink Mini Primark Haul

It’s that time of year where even though the weather is crap all are clothing stores start stocking spring/summer clothing.

Primark as always seems to be having some great things in for this season. So I couldn’t help picking up a couple of bits. If you didn’t gather by the name, all the pieces I bought are pink.

Pink Flowery Smock Dress

CIMG7053I tried this dress on in store and absolutely loved the style of this on. I can already tell this dress is going to get a lot of wear from me. I might start to wear it soon and just wear some thick tights and boots. This dress was a bargain at only £8 I really hope they bring out some different designs in this style.

Pink Midi Skirt

CIMG7036
It was the colour of this skirt the drew me to it. I think I will be saving this till the weather is a little bit warmer, and plan on wearing this with a black or white top tucked inside. I haven’t ever worn a skirt in this style before so if you have any hints on how I should style it please let me know. Cost £12

Minnie Mouse Make-up Bag

P1040006
I saw this and instantly thought how cute it was. At only £3 I had to buy it. You can never have enough make-up bags right?

Have you got any bargains in Primark recently?

What I got for Christmas – 2013

I love seeing and reading what other people got for Christmas, these are my favourite post to read this time of the year.

Here is a peak at some of the gifts I received.

Pink coat

CIMG6924

I don’t own a pink coat and have been after one for a while. So was super happy to find this gorgeous shade of coat under my tree this year. I’m looking forward to wearing it to brighten the grey winter months ahead.

Minnie Mouse onesie & Bambi PJs

CIMG6927

I love anything Disney and Christmas is always the perfect time to get new sleepwear.

Gift Sets

What girl doesn’t love a good gift set!

CIMG6929

Dove Wonderful You, Eight Hour Cream Essential kit and St. Tropez.

I love reading, so a book is always a great gift for me. All 3 of these books were on my wish list, so were very happily received.

I saw this bee purse months ago in a magazine and was very excited to have received it. Usually once I find something in a magazine I like, I can never find it online in stock or in store!  (I’m going to change my cards and everything over as soon as I have finished this post.)

And the Thornton’s chocolate snowman looks delicious!
