Primark Haul

Sometimes I love Primark, other times i hate it. Primarks one of those shops you can guarantee, if you have no money you will want every single item in there. but when you purposely go there, with something in mind, they either wont have it or you hate everything in there.

Well, I think I'm in love with their summer stock. I don't think I've ever found so much i like/want/need in Primark at one time. Going to Primark, is like a special treat (unless I'm at uni) Because there isn't one Primark in the whole of Cornwall! Although the nearest one is only in Plymouth, its not somewhere i go very often as it takes an hour or so to get there.

Me and the family went on Monday, and i definitely made the most of it, i realised apart from a couple of dresses i have zero summer clothes. Here's what i got... (Very Picture Heavy)

Top; £6.00

Shirt £6.00

Dipped Hem Top; £8.00

Primark Vest Tops are my favourite! Their £2.50 each and they do amazing colour variety! The photo has completely washed them out, the turquoise and purple are so much brighter, i also bought a mint green one. The orange one in the middle is a slightly different style and was only £1.80!

These came separately, the Navy vest underneath was £1.80, The sheer top, i think said £8 or £9 on the price ticket but at the till it scanned at about £3? I love it when that happens!!

These linen shorts are great, they are only £6, and again they do a wide selection of colours and patterns! i got navy blue, so i could wear it with lots of different things.

Again £6 linen shorts, but the most gorgeous floral print! So summery, and a lovely pastel yellow colour.

This ruck sack was £9, as I'll still be on crutches while I'm away i thought this would be good to carry my stuff around in, as it'll be a lot easier than a handbag, and i wont have to rely on anyone else.

I've been dying for a onsie for ages! I finally got one! Its so cosy and snug :) This was £10.

I got some plimsolls as really a should be wearing proper shoes, because of my ankle and I'm a bit fed up of trainers. These were only £3. As we're going camping on our holiday, we have to shower in a block for the whole campsite, so these are my shower flipflops as i do not want to stand on the floor! 

The last photo wasn't very clear, suede nave blue sandals with bow detail, i saw these on Victorias Vintage blog, and loved them! Their so cute!

This dress isn't actually from Primark, but i thought I'd include it. I got in TK Maxx for £18 in the sale, its Cynthia Rowely and its bright orange, it fits really nicely and has little pockets in the sides!

And a gold exposed zip detail on the back. My mum treated me to this, as she was buying my younger brother a whole load of stuff.

That's my new summer wardrobe! There was so much more in primark i could of bought. But i have a holiday to save my pennies for!

Have you got your summer wardrobe yet?

Orly!

The other day the Lovely Lainey LuLu (The Life & Times of Lainey LuLu) bought to our attention that cheapsmells.com were doing 2 Orly Miniatures for the bargain price of £3.95 (and free delivery)! If you've read my previous posts you'll know i LOVE Orly nail polish. You could pick any colour from a large-ish choice, and then the free colour would be a mystery! I chose a polish called 'Shine On Crazy Diamond' it actually took me about half an hour to decide, and lots of googling imaging. But i decided on this one, which from pictures looked like a silvery/holographic glitter polish.

And today, i got a lovely package in my post tray!

Sorry About The Blur!

I tried to capture the holographic-ness as much as i could. So the bottom polish is the one i chose, the top was my mystery free polish, i am actually amazingly pleased! I was a bit worried they were going to pawn us off with a colour no one ever buys. But no, This is such a beautiful summery colour, its called 'Be Iconic' and its definitely a colour i would have picked myself! I love both of them, i also think they'd both go really well together!

Left; Be Iconic Right; Shine On Crazy Diamond

So these are the swatched, Be Iconic gave really nice cover even after one coat, but did two just to make it fully opaque, it glides on nice, and has a really nice pearl finish.

Glitter polishes are always a bit of a gamble i think, you can never tell, The picture of Shine On Crazy Diamond is after 3 coats, its not crammed with glitter, but i think it'd make a really good top coat. The pieces of glitter are really tiny. I don't think you'd be able to wear this polish on its on, so I'll definitely be layering it over other colours.

Did you take advantage of this great offer? What mystery colour did you receive?

Lots of Love

Today's Nails I have used No7 Stay Perfect Nail Colour in 'Sing The Blues'

Sometimes i find No7 polishes can be a bit thin, this one wasn't an exception but it still only took 2 coats to get a nice coverage, so can't complain. The retail at around £7 i think in boots, at the moment as far as I'm aware they are running their 'Spend £5 in store and get a £5 No7 voucher' which makes these beauties just £2! Steal! They also have a great range of colours to!

I painted my toe nails aswell, as i feel so summery at the moment (apart from having a cold) but the weathers been beautiful and i dug out my flip flops, my toe nails got a lovely coat of Orly in Green With Envy. I shan't be putting a picture up, no one wants to see feet! Blurrghh!

Have you changed your nail colour recently? 

Lots of Love
