Autumn Haul 2017 |ASOS, All Saints,Topshop, Lush

Hello, autumn is now well and truly here, and I am so happy. I am reunited with all my jumpers who have been sat patiently in my wardrobe. I have as the title of this blog post suggest made some purchases to add to my autumn wardrobe, as well as some other autumnal bits and bobs!

All Saints Leather Jacket

So I have bought my dream leather jacket. I have been toying with buying an All Saints Jacket for around about a year, but actually dreaming of one for much longer. My 23rd Birthday was coming up, I essentially thought Fuck it and I went and bought it. I'm so excited for this to be in my wardrobe for many, many years to come.

Boohoo Jumper

Tartan Dress

Trousers

River Island 

Topshop

Boots

Shoes

Lush Products:

Bewitched, Sparkly Pumpkin, The Magic of Christmas, Ectoplasm

As soon as autumn hits I basically jump into my bath, literally the leaves start to turn vibrant oranges and red and I see it as my sign to get into the bath. I've already used the Sparkly Pumpkin and I must say it was divine. I am most excited to try Bewitched!

I went to... Disneyland Paris

Hello! This is my first post since my Paris trip and it is absolutely fair to say the trip went by so unbelievably quickly. This is going to be a photo diary, come outfit post, come haul. Something for everyone.

Outfit details time

Can we firstly just say how HOT it was, grey was not the colour to be wearing hahahaha. Obviously I was wearing my Mickey Ears, because when else am I going to wear them?! I wore a grey Mickey Mouse top which I picked up from Primark. In an effort to keep semi cool I wore these extremely baggy culottes (spoiler was still super hot). As with most of my outfits I had my trusty white converse.

It's time for a little haul!

Is it actually possible to got to Disney and not come away with some Disney merch?! I think not. I didn't go as wild as I did in LA but I have a few bits to remember my time.

 I have been wanting a Disney Christmas Tree bauble since I went to Disney last year and was gutted I hadn't picked on up. What tree is complete without a little bit of Disney magic?!

A key ring a highly useful purchase. For ages I have had this awful RAF keyring for my car key, and I have been looking for the longest time for a keyring that will clip on and off my main keys. 

We have Disney pens for our sign in sheets at work, since I am leaving my life would be somewhat empty without Disney pens in my life.

Finally if you like me have Disney magic withdrawals here is a Spotify playlist I found to bring some magic in to your day!

NYX Haul

Hello! I had heard somewhere that NYX was now going to be stocked in Boots, but for some reason the fact bypassed my brain - luckily during some time wasting I stumbled across it and made note to go back the following day having done a little research.

Following my research I was most keen to get my hands on the Soft Matte Lip Cream, which in my opinion are pretty much liquid lipsticks. I got the shades Cannes, Copenhagen and Istanbul. One shade in particular has been a revelation to me and that is Istanbul, I have found my perfect pink, I'm not totally sure what it is about it but I love it so much. The other two are viviannedoesmakeup recommendations and are such pretty colours.

Next I got the Pro Brush 16 Blending I've been on the hunt for an inexpensive blending brush where you aren't required to buy a set for sometime. I've used this a couple of times and it does the job well.

Finally I got the Micro Brow Pencil in Taupe. I cannot tell you how long I have been looking for a eye brow this shade on the hughstreet. For my eyebrow colour they are either too blonde or too brown/red, I require a really cool toned shade as my hair is lacking in all the warmth. This is so precise and really allows you to get the shape you want. It stays on like a boss it lasted all throughout my shift at work and then on my run afterwards. I highly recommend.

Homeware Haul | Blogmas Day 12

Hello! On of my favourite things about being at Uni, is having my own space. Yes it might be a little University Halls room, but its mine and its filled with my stuff. Obviously I don't have a large budget to go spending, but I have picked up some homeware bits in recent months.

Cath Kidston - Stanley Mug

If you are obsessed with Sausage Dogs like me, this is a must. Not going to lie they are pretty scarce and I really had to hunt down this mug, but I got it and its perfect.

Everything else is from Tiger so I can't link it:(

I am obsessed with this copper basket, its gorgeous I'm pretty sure it was 3 quid. I keep it on my shelves storing my skin care and some other bits. How cute are the cookie cutters? I haven't used them yet but i WILL make gingerbread cookies before Christmas if it is the last thing I do! Finally my little jar/glass situation, so cute and I love drinking my lime squash from it!

I hope you enjoyed this little haul!

Thanks for popping by,

Little Lush Haul

Hello! By now if you've been reading my blog for a while, you will know I'm a total 'Lushie' and I always like to have some Lush bits in the bathroom ready for me to use. Here's what is currently awaiting me. . .

The Comforter

(i've already had a few uses from this OOPS)

An old favourite, there will most of the time be one of these in my bathroom, as I love the scent and it make great bubbles.

Butterball

This is for when my skin is feeling dry and I need an instant hit of moisture. After using this bath bomb I don't need to faffing around with moisturiser.

Sunnyside

Finally this one is a gift, how amazing does it look? It has a lovely fresh and citrusey scent, this is one of the Oxford Street store products which has now made its way around the country. I am really excited to try this one.

Thanks for popping by!

Collective Haul | Tiger, Topshop, Ebay, Amazon

Hello! I haven't done a haul in a while, so I thought I would share the collective which I have managed to gather together with you today. I'm going to leave my favourite purchase for last, I'm already placing a bet on it being featured in my July Favourites.

Random Bits

Strawberry Bunting - Tiger

I am fully aware I am lacking a party for this bunting at this very moment in time, however, there will be that moment when there is a need for it and I will not have to go out searching for any.

Memory Card - SanDisk Extreme Pro 16GB

I am forever deleting things on my camera as my memory card was too small, I chose this one because it has plenty of storage space and is high speed so it's perfect for videos.

Diary

Turns out you cannot use a random notebook as I diary, things get confusing and you don't when you're working etc. Also this will be perfect for Uni, it has a timetable in the front and I'll easily be able to see when my deadlines are.

Boots

Tan!

Like every other British Basic Bitch, I hate being pale especially in the summer. My favourite type of tan is a gradual tan, they're a bit more work BUT they're easier to maintain and top up. Boots had an offer on, I went for Garnier Summer body which I've tried I think works really well and the St Tropez one.

Fashion!

The Elephant Trousers

I'm going to say this, these are the perfect trousers for summer, they're light and airy, plus they have elephants on them. Leading on from my last purchase they're good for covering up and bad fake tanning experience or to give your skin a break from the sun, without boiling you.

Black Joni Jeans

I feel like Black Jeans are an essential in anyone's wardrobe, and now I have my own. Not much to say there, they are really comfy though as they are that stretchy jeans material, rather than a totally stiff denim.

The Silver Bag

I told you I had left the best for last didn't I? I'd say this is a small to medium bag, its in a satchel style its gorgeous and it's silver soooo yes amazing. To make it even better it was £10 in the Topshop sale! I'm literally obsessed with this, I cannot stop showing this to people.

March Haul | Primark, Ebay

March Book: Billy and Me by Giovanna Fletcher Page Number: 207

Hello! My shopping brain seems to be firmly planted in June, despite it being March, so things are definitely catered to warmer weather.

Let's start with Primark

This picture is of two items, the first is a white tank top, its a lovely soft semi sheer material, perfect for hot days. I bought it a couple of sizes to bigger so it would have a loose fit. Then I wanted to wear it with a little crop top underneath. Tank Top £4 Crop Top £1.50

For me this S/S a tassled waist coat situation was high on my list. This would lovely over a cute dress or even just a simple jeans and tee outfit. I'm really excited to style this. £12

I think this might be my favourite Primark purchase, its a GORGEOUS black lace kimono, ahblwvel its so nice. Like the previous item it would be nice to chuck on over a simple outfit, and it will also be gorgeous as a summer evening item. £8

Ebay, I got through phases with Ebay of buying stuff and then nothing at all for ages.

Crochet is plastered all over the high street at the moment, so you know, I kinda had to purchase something. This top is actually really cool, depending on what light you're in, it looks different colours. Its a cream fading into a muted neon yellow type colour. This colour then looks different intensities. Which turned out to be damn difficult to photograph!

I've been wanting an anatomical heart necklace for such a long time, but they can be really expensive. However I found this one on Ebay for 49p!!! yes 49p, the chain is obviously very cheap. At some point I will buy a chain which is nicer, but for now I am very happy.

What do you think of my purchases?

Haul | Mac, Boots

February Book: Not That Kind of Girl by Lena Dunham Page Number: COMPLETE

Hello! I haven't spent money on make up in a while, so in the past couple of weeks I've picked up a few bits and pieces. One necessary, one lusted over and two just cuz purchases.

The Necessary

I had been using Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara, which I love to use, as it was getting to the dry unusable stage, I saw youtube videos featuring the new Loreal Miss Manga Punky Eyes mascara. I know these were ads, and the youtubers were obviously going to say that it was good. However after seeing the application of the product, I was sold right then and there. If I can get myself together I'm going to do a post on the make up I wore a couple of weeks ago for a friend's birthday so you can see it on.

The Lusted Over

Harriet will know more than anyone how much I wanted MAC Soar Lipliner, but due to the Kylie Jenner effect it is bloody difficult to get hold of, forever being out of stock in store and online. Then one day on the off chance we went into MAC, and my excitement was uncontrollable as I saw(Soar hehe) it there sat on the shelf. The purchase was made immediately. This has an amazing staying power and I don't find it overly drying on the lips. However if you more of a glossy finish gal, stay away from MAC lipliners.

The Just Cuz

I don't need anymore nail polishes, and have banned myself for a long time from buying them. Then Harriet was looking for a dark red nail polish, I suggested Barry M Red Black and it was no where to be seen, in my local boots. Thats when we turned to the Maybelline Super Stay Gel Nail Color. I got some weird kind of envy over her buying nail polish, so I picked up the top coat and the shade Mint For Life. Worse things have happened to a gal. This turned out to be a good purchase, as this Nail Polish is has the best staying power out of all the polishes I have tried, even surviving work reasonably well, which was amazing.

Tiger Haul

Hello! I better start by explaining what Tiger is, which isn't the easiest task. It is a Danish Variety Store, expanding through the UK and the rest of the world. I work for my local store so I expect these will keep popping up on the blog oops. We sell anything from Moustache Hangers to Colanders. The mission is to sell a variety of on trend and innovative designed products. Despite the amazing value for money we are no discount store, the focus is design and quality products, which will make customers smile. ANYWAY, onto what I got.

(Starting ^) Batteries £1, Tea light candle holders £1, Tube Squeezer £1, 100 Tea lights £3, Heart Notebook £2, Pillar Candles £1

*Danish Cookies could also been pictured, but I ate them oops*

I've recently gotten into the whole candle thing, something I did not think would happen, which is perfect considering there is a whole wall dedicated to Candles in Tiger, side note which is very instagram worthy! For me the best section has to be the stationary/office section, as it has so many good bits and pieces, another time I will be picking up some more bits and pieces. I am so pleased Tiger has come to Norwich, and that I have a chance to work there.

Thanks for popping by!

Barbie Girl Lipstick - MAC Candy Yum Yum

Hello, it was only fairly recently three new lipsticks entered my life, but recently MAC Candy Yum Yum a vibrant bright pink has made a lovely addition to my lipstick stash, which keeps on growing hehe!

My thoughts:
Good lasting power as you'd expect from a Matte lipstick from Mac (think this is my fave formula so far)
Highly pigmented
Brightens up a dull ensemble clothes wise
I think this will be really nice to wear as the weather gradually gets warmer!
Over all a happy gal!

My Mum's thoughts:
'Perfect for a neon party' A genuine quote haha
