Recently, i've been so brilliant at this whole "posting regularly" thing.. (can you sense the sarcasm?) I'm really sorry, I explained in my last post why (read that here), but today is all about spending money!
I handed in an important essay to uni on Tuesday, and what better way to celebrate than with a bit of retail therapy? I spent too much money considering i'm a poor university student, but i'm going to show you what I got anyway!



First up was Primark, where I got a few things. First things first, the bag. It is absolutely beautiful. I spotted this on the shelf, and knew I needed it in my life. I've been looking for a really bright bag for ages (as I mostly wear black, and something bright would add a pop to my outfit) and this was perfect. It was also super affordable. It was only £8. Eight pounds!! What a bargain!
Next up, I needed a head band for a Great Gatsby themed night I was going to (blog post coming soon!) and I just picked up this pretty one for a mere £3. It was really comfortable, and it stayed in my hair the whole night!
Finally, saving the most boring for last, I picked up some kirbies. (Because mine always go missing! Where do they go?) And these are so cheap, and great for £1.



 Next it was off to Superdrug for a few essentials I needed. First up is this face scrub, which I absolutely adore. This is my second tube (I have a blog post planned for this!) It is seriously amazing, and also super affordable at under a fiver.
I also needed dry shampoo, so I picked up my go-to one, which is of course the Batiste one. I picked the cherry one, just because cherry is my favourite scent. However, I can't make up my mind about this scent.







 Lastly, I popped to H&M, and I found that they have some really lovely stuff in right now. I ended up picking three things.
The first thing was this dress, which was £13, and I think it's so versatile. It's easy to wear all year round, either with tights, leggings, or bare legged. It's also really easy to both dress up, and dress down. I really like it.
Next was this cardigan. It doesn't look much in the photo, but it's really nice, and it literally goes with most of my wardrobe. I've been pairing it with a simple t-shirt, light ripped jeans, and chunky boots. It also looks really nice thrown over the previous dress.
I also got this simple black t-shirt, because I don't own anything like this, and it's honestly so useful to have something like this in any girls wardrobe, as you can just shove it on and go. I really like it.

So that's all I purchased! For once i'm actually really happy with every single thing I purchased! Yay!
What do you think?

Thanks for reading!

Like pretty much every female on the planet, I love shopping. In particular for makeup, as you don't have to worry about it fitting you, or sitting right, you just swatch it, and if I like it, I buy it. I really only buy makeup from two places: Boots and Superdrug, as they are really the best places on the high street to buy makeup. If I can't get to either of these places, I pop to my local ASDA, as they have a selection of makeup too. (It's limited, but it's still something!
I have a really bad habit of buying a makeup item just because it looks pretty. I often don't swatch the product, or take a closer look, I just base it purely on packaging. I guess that's what the packaging is designed the way it is, to attract consumers, like you and me.

When it comes to clothing and accessories, I am totally different. I will not buy an item without trying it on, unless I already know that it fits. I am also very picky with clothing. Because of my figure, it is very hard to get clothing to fit, and to get it to look right on me. I also tend to go for darker colours, rather than bold brights, as standing out from the crowd is not something that appeals to me.
I have a really bad habit when it comes to shopping, and that is that I buy way too many bags. I threw out five just the other day, because they were broken, bearing in mind that i'd kept these broken bags for years, in hope that I would look at them one day and they'd be fixed.
I tend to go almost straight to H&M when I go shopping, as I find that the quality of the clothing, for the small price you pay, is brilliant. Plus, the majority of their size 6-8 stuff fits me perfectly, which rarely happens. New Look has nice clothing, but their sizes, for my size, are really odd. One place that's brilliant for bargains is of course Primark, you can't beat it really!
Those are the three main shops that I head into regularly, but I just base it on what I see in the shop window.

Another thing i'm big on is online shopping. I love it, but it's a bit of a hit and miss with me. As I explained, I am a really awkward size, so it's hard to guide whether the clothes will fit me, so it's a hit and miss with me. I particularly love ASOS and boohoo.com, but Daisy Street is slowly climbing up the scale, as their clothes are just gorgeous. I occasionally order makeup online, particularly nail varnishes.

Sorry this has been a bad post, i've actually had a pretty crappy day, and i've not been feeling my happiest, so it was hard for me to write this. I don't want to complain, or i'm not asking for sympathy, i'm just saying that my day has been pretty darn terrible. Tomorrow's post will be better, I hope!
