Hey everyone, so i'm back today with another clothing haul! I've been buying a lot of things, and I thought i'd condense them into this post! I'm going to keep it short and sweet, and let my clothes do the talking! I am in love with everything I bought though, so lets go!

Over the past few weeks, i've done some shopping. I've actually been quite good, because usually over summer I would buy quite a lot, which hasn't happened this year! I thought i'd show you what I got anyway.


 
 First up, Primark. They have some really beautiful things in at the moment. Primark are really a complete hit and miss with me, they're either absolutely brilliant, or terrible, there's no in between. Right now I think they're fab. I picked up this beautiful black bag for a mere £8! And it feels like pretty good quality, considering the price!
This jacket could possibly be my favourite purchase of this year. I've been looking fr a light jacket in this style for ages, and now I think i've found the perfect one. And at only £13 (yes, really!) I couldn't exactly leave it, could I?


 As per usual, I also bought a fair few items from Boots. I swear it's impossible not to go in and buy something?
1.  Bleach London Hair Crayon in "Rose" I know I definitely do not need it, but i'd seen a couple of reviews floating around in the blogger world, and for only £4 i thought it might be worth giving it a try. I think i'm going to just 'colour in' the ends of my hair, but I will do a full review soon, as I loved the concept.
2.  Barry M Gelly Nail Polish in "Sugar Apple" I kept spotting this in Boots, but somehow convincing myself that I didn't need it. However, I finally caved, and let me tell you, it is absolutely beautiful.
3.  Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl Pencil in "Purple"  When it comes to eyeliner, I only ever buy black, brown and nude. However, on impulse, I bought this, as it was 3 for 2 in Rimmel, and I have to say, I really like it I think it adds a subtle pop of colour to my look without being to "in your face". I just pop this along my waterline and i'm good to go.
4. Rimmel 60 Second Nail Varnish in "White Hot Love" I needed a new white nail varnish, and I picked this up, not realising it's a kind of pearly white. It's not what I needed, but I am a little bit obsessed with it, as it's really pretty.
5. Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in "08"  I basically live in red lipsticks, or subtle red lipbalms. I don't really own many nude lipsticks, and I wanted to change this, so I picked up this, as I know I love the Kate Moss lipsticks. Honestly, this is the perfect nude. It's seriously amazing. If you're near a Rimmel counter I really recommend you swatch this, and like me, you might be amazed.


 Ah, Superdrug, why do you always lure me into your shops with offers on display? I was fully intending on walking past Superdrug, but I saw they had a whole heap of offers on, so of course I had to go in.
1. L'Oreal #TXT Volume Supersizing Spray I had seen this raved about in the beauty world, but I didn't buy it, because quite frankly I have never seen a spray like this that's worked. It was on offer for under £3 I believe, so i caved, and bought it. I've tried this since I bought it, and it's alright, but not amazing, and I probably won't repurchase it.
2. Superdrug De-Stressing Face Mask I read on someones blog (I can't remember who, sorry!) that this face mask was great, and I spotted it in Superdrug, and I snapped it up for a mere £2. I've used it a couple of times, and it leaves my face so soft!
3. Urban Fudge Iced Coconut Cocktail Hair Spray This was also on offer for something really cheap like £1.50, so of course I picked it up. It smells absolutely incredible, and I think it does a really good job f holding my hair. It's also a really handy size to pop into my bag for touch-ups.

Some of you may know that this movie came out earlier this week on DVD. I'd recently finished the book series, but was yet to see the movie. I popped into ASDA earlier this week, and picked it up, before having a movie day on Friday. It's absolutely incredible. I was worried after reading bad reviews, but I loved it! I recommend reading the book before watching the film, as there are parts that you would have no idea what was happening unless you'd read them, but it was great.


Finally, i went to New Look. I've been eyeing up these boots for a while, but every time i've gone in, they either haven't had my size, or i've just managed to talk myself out of buying them. However, I finally decided to buy them, and I do not regret spending the £25. They're really comfortable, sturdy, and they go with pretty much everything. New Look have some great shoes in right now, i'm definitely going to be buying more when I have money!

So, some of you may know that last week, I went to London with two of my closest friends to celebrate the end of school, our last trip before we head to University in September. Our main reason for going down was to visit the Warner Bros Harry Potter Studio Tour (because we are all massive Harry Potter fans) but I managed to do quite a bit of shopping in the four days I was there, and that is what I am going to share with you today!

Okay so the first two things I didn't actually get in London, but I got them the day before I went so I thought i'd include them as I love them so much! As some of you may know, my birthday was a couple of weeks ago, on the 10th May, (i did a birthday haul that you can read here!) and one of my good friends Laura gave me these two gorgeous gifts! I've been a huge fan of crayon wall art for ages, but never ever bought one myself, and I am so happy i've now got one! I'm going to take it up to Dundee in September (where i'm moving into student halls, as i'm going to Art School up there), and it will make my student room look so pretty!
She also got me this beautiful handmade necklace in with a Snitch on it (Harry Potter fans will understand! I am in love with it, and I of course wore it in London! Thanks Laura!

Recently, I've been very good, and i've rarely spent any money, apart from on the essentials. However, that all changed on Monday, as I went shopping, and decided to treat myself to a couple of things, most of which I did not need! Keep reading to find out what I bought!

Over the past month or so I've realised I've spent a lot of money.. And by a lot, I mean A LOT. I am spending way too much, which can only mean one thing..
I think a spending ban needs to begin.
And I mean a ban on everything, beauty,  fashion, food, the lot! My aim is to spend next to nothing this Autumn, only investing in the absolute essentials (boo, no more lipsticks), as I'm pretty sure there's nothing I need.
The ban starts NOW.
 I say now, because I had initially planned to start it two days ago, but I may have spent some money on the following:

"Snow Fairy" Shower Gel From Lush, and a Maroon Beanie from New Look.
 And these are what I hope to be the last of my "pointless and unneeded purchases" for a while!
So I'm intrigues to see how I do at this spending ban! I'll probably post weekly updates, for maybe a month or so, and we'll see what my total spend-age is after a month or so! (Hopefully not a lot!)

So tell me, have any of you tried a spending ban before? Did you commit to it? Tell me your stories!

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!

I am a little bit obsessed with ASOS, and I just want to buy everything. My problem is that I am wary of buying things online, as I am such an awkward shape/size, so it is very hard to get clothes to actually fit me. It doesn't make me love ASOS any less though.  I love how this online shop sells cheaper items from other brands, such as Motel, New Look, American Apparel etc.. So in this blog post i'm going to show you some of ASOS' latest items that I am in love with. Enjoy!
