Milton Keynes Haul

I popped into Milton Keynes for the day with my best friend to do some shopping, partly to pick up some new clothes for the new University year, and partly because... we just both love to shop! 

But here's all the things I managed to pick up in the day, and I love every item and really happy with the bargains I managed to pick up.

BOOTS

No.7 Stay Perfect Lipstick in Hot Copper 655 - Free
-- This is the lipstick I picked up with my free No.7 lipstick voucher, and I'm exited to see what it's like... I picked a coppery, more autumnal colour, as that's the season we're going into.

No. 7 Rapid Spot Rescue - £9.95, but I paid £4.95
-- Using my £5 off voucher, I bought this to help clear up spots on my skin, simple as.

NEW LOOK

Cardigan - £24.99

-- I've been looking for an oversized, knitted cardigan in this sort of colour for the longest time, and have never found one I loved. But this one, this one is amazing, it's super warm and comfy and I love it!

Black High Waisted Jeans - £22.99

-- I love New Look jeans, they're really comfy, and fit really well. My old black jeans are now so old they're more grey than black, so I thought it was time to pick up some more. Plus, high waisted jeans are my fav!

Daisy Necklace - £5.99

-- I saw this in New Look at the beginning of summer of a mannequin, but then couldn't find one in store to buy, and I've been looking to find one like it for ages, and then I found it, again, in New Look, but this time they were in stock! I just love the coppery colour of this!

Blue Gem Necklace - £5.99

-- This is a really nice, gentle statement necklace, and I love it.

H&M

Black and White Blouse - £14.99

-- I've got really into blouses recently, and I just thought it was really timeless. 

White Blouse - £14.99

-- Now this is just so pretty, and it's that classic white blouse, which you can never have enough of.

Simple Grey Top - £3.99

-- I've grown out of my old one, and so I bought another one. I love to use tops like this round the house, or to layer up over Winter.

TIGER

Cake Plate - £4

-- I couldn't believe how cheap this was, and thought it would be great to show off my favourite jewellery pieces.

4 Scented Candles - £2

-- I just love candles....

PRIMARK

Double Duvet Set - £16.00

-- I absolutely love this design, and I'm back off to uni soon, and so I needed a new bedsheet for uni...

White Fitted Sheet - £4.90

-- Very boring, but essential

Cat Glass - £2

-- Me and my best friend saw these.. and just couldn't leave them behind. They are adorable.

Scented Candle - £2

-- More Candles..

Heart Shaped Candle - £1

-- And another one..

OUTFIT

Light Pink Top - £10 (in Sale)

-- I really like this colour, and I love collars, so its a win win! Plus, it was in the Sale, and I still get 10% student discount ontop, so I only paid £9 for this. Bargain!

Norfolk/Summer Holiday Haul

While I'm on holiday I really can't help but shop, I never buy things here I need, just things I want, or things that really interest me. I went away with my boyfriend, who reads books ALL THE TIME, and it sorta rubs off on me when I'm with him, so there are a lot of books in this haul, but I thought you'd like to see what I've been reading/planning to read. 

PAPERCHASE

Butterfly Pencil Case/Purse - £3 This was in the reduced section of Paperchase, but I absolutely love it. Since leaving school I've never needed a pencil case because I just go to lectures with a pen and a highlighter, but I thought this would be great to carry them in. It's really cute, and a perfect size to carry the few essentials I need on campus at University!

PRIMARK

Sunglasses - £2 I already own 5 pairs of Sunglasses, but this year they've become a true love of mine, and according to the weather people, Summers from now on are just going to get hotter and sunnier.. so... I'm one of these people who buy lots of cheap glasses rather than one expensive pairs, I love wearing them as accessories, and find most the time I'm using them as a head band.. but I really like these glasses, they're really stylish and I don't have a pair like this.

Hair Accessories - £2 I have such long hair that I love to buy things to put in it. I love elastic headbands like this, because they're so easy to wear, keep the hair out of my face while I'm doing stuff, but also make it look like I've made an effort with my hair, when literally all I've done is washed and brushed it!

QUIZ

Jumpsuit - £19.54 (£22.99) OMG! This jumpsuit, there was a dress in the same pattern that I loved as well, but I couldn't afford both. Below is a picture from the website, but I absolutely love this! It's so stylish and fits like a dream, and I am literally obsessed.

NEW LOOK

Kimono - £14.40 I love this, it's made out of a sorta silky material, and it really light weight, and bright, and so summery. I love Kimonos, they can really add an element of style to any outfit and make great cover ups to protect my shoulders against the sun, because I burn really, really easily, because I'm as pale as a sheet of paper.

JARROLD

Filthy Gorgeous London Magnetic Nail Polish - £3 I bought this because it was in the sale, and so was really, really cheap. But mainly, because it looks fascinating, it's a sort of metallic red, which you apply like a normal Nail Polish, and then use the magnet in the lid to give it an interesting effect. I don't entirely know what's going on, but  I will write a blog post when I get an idea of what you actually do, because this looks so different.

Game of Thrones Books - 3 books for £24.97 I'm already reading the second book, and I've been watching the TV Series, and I am in love! So I bought three more books so that I can keep reading.

Diary of a Shopaholic (Book) - £3.99 (£.7.99) I'm sure I read this like 5 years ago, but I couldn't actually remember when I was in the store, and so I decided I had to pick it up, I absolutely love the author, I think her writing is hilarious, and the film is also great fun. This is just one of those light weight books I love to read for a bit of fun

THE BOOK HIVE

Light (Book) - £7.99 I read this series while I was in school, but the last book wasn't out. When I was in this store, I saw it in the Teen Section, and it suddenly all came flooding back. This series is really good. The idea is that there is this area in the States, which they fall the Fayz, where all the adults disappear, and only the kids under a certain age are left. The books are all about how they deal with it, and the heirachy that forms, there are some great twists and turns which I won't tell you, because I don't want to ruin anything. But it's a really easy read, but with a great plot line, and I know I'm now an adult, but I really wanna know what happens..

THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT

One Republic, Girls Aloud, Pharrell Williams - 3 for £10 I love music, I'm a University Music Student, so this really shouldn't be any surprise. But I love to buy CDs, I have a slight problem. I have 100s of CDs that take over my room... but.. yeah. So I added 3 more to my collection while I was in this shop in Norwich, because they were 3 for £10... so...

I know these aren't all beauty items, which is the main theme of this blog, but I like to share other things with you, and I really loved this holiday, and really love shopping... :)

Hope you enjoyed seeing what I bought while I was away (obviously I bought food...but didn't think you'd really wanna know about milk, bread and chocolate...)

Summer Holiday to Cromer

I recently arrived back from my 6 days in Cromer, it was a wonderful holiday. We stayed in the Cromer Country Club which was lovely, it's like a mix between a holiday cottage and a hotel, which was really handy.

Because I'm a nosey person, I love to see what people get up to on their holiday, so here's a few snaps of mine :) 

The pier, has a wondeful cafe and bar, which we used regularly while we stayed there.

Not everyone is interested about what I got up to on holiday, but I absolutely love the British Seaside, it makes me think of childhood, always, and I don't think I'll ever stop going.
