Okay so recently I have been MIA and I can't apologise enough but I had a really sad loss to mine and Nathan's world and honestly I fell apart. I just needed a little time to get myself back together and realise I am still me and I owe my lovely readers a new blogpost. Of course I did what I do best I shopped! This month I did a lot of collecting from homeware to fashion, from several places such as New Look and Primark therefore this is also my June Primark Haul with a twist. ENJOY!
Like all my other hauls I start with fashion and this month I was all over the stripes and frilled crop tops, I even found a combined top with stripes and frilled crop top-ness! Here we go..
Fashion
Cactus print pj shorts £4 Asda
These shorts are ultimate life goals, I had seen these for a while but they came with a matching top that I wasn't 100% fond off. However when I went in I seen the shorts on there own so the girl gave them to me for £4 rather than £8 for the set as the top had gone missing. Anyway, these are super comfy and I just love them they make me so happy and I sleep really well in them.
Grey and yellow zip up sports bra £3 Asda
These are my favourite sports bra's honestly, they are super comfy and they are a massive benefit after a painful gym session. I love the range of colours Asda have in these and especially reduced to £3 from £8 I have 3 more of these in dark pink with black trim, and two in a light grey, white and pink which is probably my favourite. There is honestly nothing worse than trying to struggle getting a tricky sports bra off when your arms are aching so these are a blessing.
Pep&Co Jeans £7 each
I have searched high and low for good jeans, every time i buy jeans from Topshop or New Look they don't fit me around the ankles and don't go tight like I want them to. However these fit perfectly are high waisted and fit around my ankle so I can wear normally shoes like Converse, Stan Smiths and my Timberlands without having to tuck them in or roll them up. I have debated for a while purchasing more of these and ripping the knees on them and having perfect ripped knee jeans.
Khaki Waterfall Jacket £20 Primark
This jacket was originally £20 but for some reason when I got it to the till it was £3... Incase anyone wants to buy it I'm not too sure of the pricing. Anyway I instantly fell in love with this jacket, I have been wanting one of these for a while I enjoy a really long jacket as I find it really flattering. I have only ever had a few good waterfall jackets so for me this was a risky purchase but once I tried it on I was adamant on buying this and the price tag was even more of shock...
Pinstripe Bardot top £10 Primark
Another top I completely fell in love with, I wore this the other day with blue jeans and espadrilles and it was so comfy! Recently I have been loving blouses with jeans and shoes like toms and this was really loose and flowing. Combined with my big curly hair as I have been straightening my hair less as I love my natural curls it really gives a nice touch to my outfit as my hair as a lot of volume. Anyway, I loved the pin stripes on this top which are like a grey colour, and of course with my love for stripes this was just perfect.
Blue striped bardot top £15 Independent shop
I am a huge fan of these bardot tops, I just like that I can wear them with jeans and simple shoes. They are really flattering for anyone really and they can look really dressy without even trying especially with a simple delicate necklace. I don't actually know the name of the shop it was from as it is a little local shop near me and this just caught my eye.
White bardot peplum top £9.99 Blue Inc
This is another style of bardot top that I absolutely love, I love these as I can wear them off the shoulder and then have the cutest little frill along the bottom part which looks super feminine.
White split bad t-shirt £3 Primark
I just really enjoy loose t-shirts at the minute especially with leggings and Converse preferably Burgundy low Converse with this top. As I have been loose weight recently I am more comfortable to wear tops with splits sides and things so this one was simple with a little bit of detail with the split up the back. It does remind me of the split back suits you know like the penguin ones haha. Anyway, I also bought a pink one of these in my past Primark haul and I loved that one so much and that was easy to pair with leggings and my espadrilles and white converse. So a white version was even more easy to match with leggings and any colour Converse.
Blue and white stripes frill top £9.99 New Look
Pretty similar to my white one from Blue Inc but they are just so pretty! This is easily paired with my black Pep & Co Jeans and white converse which I actually wore to Nathan's birthday meal at Slattery's. I ever so nicely included some of the pictures of what we had 'The Slattery's Chocolate Challenge' which was £15.95 each so I treated Nathan to it and we DIED! It was so chocolately and honestly it was amazing but I hate chocolate ice cream so it was pretty gutting but I loved it it was so yummy! I am becoming more confident with my body and style so I thought this was a way for me to try my new style and figure out by trying just jeans and a girly top which is something I always found difficult. I absolutely love the New Look tops at the minute as they are such a good price like I always find amazing tops around the £7.99-£9.99 range just like this one.
Striped Oversized t-shirt £3 Primark
I really enjoy finding large over sized t-shirts that are either perfect for the gym or just wearing with jeans or leggings when I am busy. I was drawn to this simple top as it was striped AND it had rolled up sleeves which is annoying as most times the sleeves of Primarks tops are rolled up and you end up practically wearing a long sleeved top haha..
Beauty
I didn't pick up a lot of beauty things this month however I decided to combine jewellery in with this as well as I only bought a necklace but everything is just so pretty!
Striped Summer Flamingo bag £1.50 Primark
I am a huge fan of the Primark canvas bags as this is my third as I have a cactus one, a beauty and the beast Belle one and now this little summery love! I was drawn to this because of the pretty stripes and these are easy to throw things on or when you don't want to take a huge bag. I always take one of these shopping with me as I would rather have one of these rather than a paper Primark bag or instead of buying a bag in store. These are very sturdy and the cute patterns they do are super fun and cute they have unicorn ones, Avengers and Star Wars ones and a lot of Disney prints so they are very versatile.
Ps. Stippling Brush £1.50 Primark
I am a fan of some of the Primark brush range and I love them even more because they are black and copper packaging. I have tried this brush and it is very soft with my fall out and worked well with my foundation. This is just another brush for me to use with my foundation as I love new foundation brushes but this is also great for powders such as blush and setting powder.
Tasseled beaded necklace £6 Primark
As I bought all this throughout the month I had my eye on this for a while as I seen a friend of mine styling one of these so I thought I'd try one out for myself. Primark had 3 different kinds of these necklaces one in white another in black and then this bright golden and colourful beaded one which was just my favourite and reminds me of summer and festivals.
Ps. Pro Oval Brushes £6.50 for both
I seen these in LoveLaughandMakeup's video check it out here and I had to have them and they finally came into store on the 17th of June. They had if I remember correctly 4 different sizes of these so I got the smallest for concealer and the second largest for general foundation application. As Sabrina mentioned in her video she said these are flimsy so you have to support the head with your finger but I love these and they are pretty similar to the MAC ones so until I buy a MAC one these are doing the job...
Home
As well all know I love my homeware so of course I picked up a few pieces for not just me but also Nathan as for his birthday he wanted like homey things for his room at camp like towels, an automatic soap dispenser and other little things so I did pick a few up from Primark. For myself however I picked up a lot of summery things like flamingo and cactus lights which are awesome!
Cactus lamp £4.99 Home Bargains
My mum answered my dreams and found me the cutest little lightbulb lamp while she was shopping so of course I put it with my cactus picture from Primark. Primark also have lamps like this in for £10 which are more lightbulbs with a metal frame similar to my Flamingo lamp. I love this one however as it is more flat so it doesn't take up much room and was a lot cheaper which meant I could also buy the flamingo lights below.
Flamingo Solar Powered lights £4.99 Home Bargains
THESE ARE AMAZING! These literally answered all my dreams, all I need now is cactus ones or pineapple and my homeware dreams are complete! These only light up at night obviously but the littler power box is put outside my window to charge them up but they are super bright. I decided to hang them around my window as it made sense because they need sunlight but they are so cute and remind me of a sunny island somewhere and cocktails!
Star Wars Lights £2 Primark
Grey Large Bath Towel £3.80 Primark
Pop-up Storage Bin £2.80 Primark
Carex Strawberry Laces Soap £0.80 Asda
As I said about buying things for Nathan's room these were some of the things I purchased for him. I also bought him some pieces which were in my previous haul as I bought them over time to even out spending, but anyway I had seen the exact same towel in Asda for £8 but this one from Primark was even bigger so it just made sense and he needed a pop up storage basket for his clothes at camp so I bought him this cute white one which was super inexpensive. The fairy lights were an impulsive buy as he loves Star Wars so I thought he could put them around his notice board that he keeps pictures on and other things like birthday cards off me and other random things. I actually hung these up for him and put everything in his room as I spent the week after his birthday at camp as a little break. I had so much fun as I thoroughly cleaned his room and put everything away as it was only fair while eh was working that I tied his room. Honestly I am so OCD with clean bedroom so it makes sense, I can go to Nathan's and I will always clean his room its such a bad habit. Anyway the soap was purely for the 3 pieces bath set i bought him that had a soap dispenser with a hand pump and he wanted some soap for it and he asked for this one.
Acrylic Drawers £4 Primark
I love acrylic drawers and things to hold my makeup in so this was perfect for my little products such as my sharpeners, pigments and brush egg cleaner. I always have a lot of sample products so this was perfect for them and then I put a tiny plant on top from Oklahoma and a copper geometric tea light from New Look which I have my MAC lip liners and Primark lipliners and lip crayons inside along with my Primark hollographic tweezers.
Mandala 2 set of pots £4 Primark
These are frickin' adorable! Like I love the patterns of these and i knew instantly they would love perfect with the smaller one on top on my shelf. I love love love these patterns and these coulda actually be perfect gift boxes. For £4 these are insane and so worth it because they make cute little decor pieces kind of like when people decorate there homes with hat boxes haha, I just really love these and Primark summery/Moroccan themed homeware is amazing!
Little Thing Heart Dish £3 Primark
Another pieces from Primark showing how much they have stepped up their homeware game! This was too cute to pass up for £3 and it looks so sweet on my desk holding my most worn jewellery like my engagement ring which I should wear all the time but not when showering and my crossbow necklace from Nathan. I just loved this!
Ombre Pineapple frame £4.99 New Look
BIG BIG BIG BIG FAN of the New Look homeware range aswell! I just think this is cute and dinky and the detail is so unreal, I still have not found a picture for this or got round to printing one off but I love it on my shelf with my polaroid camera.
Sparkly cactus travel mug £3.50 Primark
I had seen this on the Primark website and I need it! I just love the sparkle and the cactus wearing a sombrero, did I need this? No but I bought it anyway because it is so perfect! I cannot wait to put a drink in this while I am going out it is just so me and I had to instagram this to all my fellow cactus lovers!
Well that is all my lovelies for this blogpost, I am so glad to be back and thank you for being to patient with me while I was away!
All my love,
