New Purchases

Primark jewellery
Primark: Flower Headband, Lilac Bracelets and Anchor Bracelet, all £2 each

Primark nude t-shirt
Primark: Nude Tee £6 and Navy Ruffle Sleeve Tee £4

I headed to Primark nice and early while everything was organised and picked up a few purchases. The lilac bracelets and flower headband are little reminders that summer is on the way and I can't wait to wear them! I'd also seen the Anchor bracelet on a few blogs and knew it had to be mine as I love the chain.

I love both of the tops I bought as they're both really good quality considering the price. Zara have some tops made from exactly the same material as the nude one for double the price so I was really glad I went to Primark first! I love the ruffle detail of the navy top and it's really soft and fits nicely too.

H and M jewellery
H&M: Bracelet £5.99

H and M skirt
H&M: Ruffle Skirt £12.99 

I've been lusting after the brown bracelet for a while but thought it was a bit pricey for what you're getting. In the end I bought it as I knew i'd regret it if I didn't! It's actually one long piece of cord so you can wrap it round to fit any wrist size which is good as I find a lot of the bracelets (like the anchor one above) are a bit big. 

The black skirt has to be one of my favourite purchases as it was so cheap! I've seen similar skirts in Topshop for three times the price so I had to have it after i'd checked the pricetag. It fits really nicely and is perfect to wear on a night out or dressed up with a simple blouse.

H and M top
H&M: Pink Knitted Top £12.99 and Leopard Print Scarf £4.99

I lost count of the number of knitted tops I saw while out shopping but I fell in love with the colour of this one. Primark are selling similar ones for £12 but the H&M ones are much better quality so it's worth paying a tiny bit more! I'll be wearing this over a white vest with a skinny waist belt to nip it in as it's a little bit big! 

The one thing I wanted to pick up was a new scarf as I only have a plain white one so I loved this leopard print one! I'll probably wear it with a plain top and jeans to brighten up the outfit.

Lush It's Raining Men Showergel
Lush: It's Raining Men Showergel £4.25 & Honey I Washed The Kids Soap Sample

I broke my showergel ban to buy this product but I only bought a tiny bottle so it isn't that bad! I've heard lots of good things about this and as a lover of the Honey I Washed The Kids scent I thought it was worth picking up. I'm looking forward to trying it out and i'm hoping to make it last as I think it's limited edition!

I didn't go out intending to buy as much as I did but believe me I have very little money now so I won't be buying much for a few months! I'm really happy with everything I got and I know it will all get worn so it was money well spent!

  13. I love the two tops from Primark. I think I may have to take a trip into town next week. I've got so much on my want list. Roll on next week when I have a full week off work. I also love the H&M bracelets, which seems to be pretty popular in the comments.

  18. I have the flower hairband but find it hard to wear:(. I saw the brown bracelet in H'n'm and had the same thoughts and you but funds are low and I can't justify it:(
    For some reason it reminds me of Pocahontus:)

    Would love it if you had a look at my blog
