HAULIN' and 5,000 views!

Hellooo people! It's new years eve!
I said I'd share with you what I bought in the sale and stuff I've bought in general. 

I'd like to begin by saying that my sister and I share clothes most of the time; why should I buy the same thing in the same colour in the same size when my sister has it already? so everything wasn't bought by me alone.
My sister and I got some money for Christmas and I have been working as well, I don't wanna come across like I'm rolling in money, because I'm really not..

 Office shoes - £10 was £38 LINK

Office was one of the most crowded shop I went into on boxing day but when I saw these, it was love at first sight and I had to have them. I love everything about them! Although I can't wear them for now as it's freezing, but bring on summer!


Topshop Leggings - £18 LINK
These leggings are soo comfy and they're high waisted as you can probably tell. I had a pair similar to these from River Island but I threw that away because it had a hole in it and I've been wanting another pair or ages. Sometimes, I get tired of wearing jeans all the time. These are definitely thicker than standard leggings but I think I'd still wear a long top that covers my bum as it's figure hugging.
There are some other colours on sale for £10 but I really wanted them in black.

Primark Shirt - £5 was £10

I saw this shirt and I was like "Well hello there" then I saw that it was £5 and I was like "Come to mama" It is sheer so I am wearing a black vest top underneath.

Republic Jeans - £15 was £30 LINK

I have this in blue so my sis bought this in black. I love these jeans because they're soo high and they suck you in right at the top enabling them to give the illusion of a small waist and wide hips. Also there's no fly so you don't have to worry about the zip falling down. We've all been there *sigh*

Primark Mens hoodie - £5 was £12

I got this hoodie in a Medium but I think I should have got it in a Small as it's quite big and I can't be bothered to return it however it does mean that I can wear a jumper underneath which will make it snug and cosy.  

H&M Blazer - £15 was £29.99 LINK

This blazer is a little more green in real life, on here it looks a lot darker. I like the colour as it's not something I'd normally pick up and I certainly look forward to colour blocking with this in the summer. 

Converse -£40.49 with 10% off student discount, originally £44.99 LINK

I've wanted these for a while. All I have done is stare at them because they're so white. I think they make every outfit look trendy, relaxed and casual. 

Valentia Legwear Tights LINK

These tights are the softest tights I have every come across! I got them as a gift from my auntie. I could only find a link on eBay from a seller in America as I have no idea where she (my auntie) got them from. There are some similar to these in Primark which are £3.50.

H&M Men's jumper - £7.99 LINK

A friend of mine wore this jumper to college and I absolutely love it on him,  then I bought it for another friend of mine for Christmas  so I cheekily bought myself one too. I love it! 

 Republic Men's jumper - £10 originally £16

Sometimes, jumpers in the men section are way nicer than the ones in women. I showed it to my dad when I brought it home and he loved it but me and my sister weren't parting with this jumper.

Daisy Street High neck dress £9.99 was £14.99 LINK

I'm in love with this dress! It's an absolute bargain. The high neck just make it look that bit better giving it that edge over other dresss that I own and it fits just right.

Daisy Street Aztec print dress - £13.99 LINK

I'm not in love with this dress however. Just like the one above, I got it in a S/M but it's baggy and loose still! I'm still debating within me whether to get it altered by a tailor or return it. The only thing stopping me is that daisystreet.co.uk take £3 off when you return stuff back! 

Republic Earrings £3.50 was £7 LINK

For some reason, these aren't on sale on the website so I think it'd be better to just go in store and get it for half price. I love statement earrings, you'll hardly see me without any on!

 Asos dress - £15 was £22  LINK

A friend ordered this dress for me for my birthday but I don't really like the fit. It was on my asos dress wish list but it's just not for me, it doesn't look the way I imagined it in my head so it will be going back.

I recently reached 5,000 views on my blog which to me is crazy! I love that people actually take the time to read what I write, thank you so so much!

Thanks for reading!

Affordable Christmas gifts for under £10!


Hello! 
This post is going to be on affordable gifts for under £10.
If you have quite a big group of  friends and you're not very keen on spending £30 on them each or you simply don't have the money to or you just want to buy yourself something then you're reading the right post!

Have yourself a merry little..
Lipstick

A girl can ever have too many lipsticks. Fact.

Left to right
MUA Lip Boom It's a Situation £3 I really don't like the highlighter but the lipstick itself is really good and you're spoilt or choice with 8 shades to choose from. 
Topshop Beguiled £8 Beautiful wine colour on the lips, would look great on any skin tone!
MUA Shade £1 For a pound, you can't go wrong. 
Rimmel Starry Eyed £4.99 I love this colour! It's incredibly creamy and I find myself reaching for it everyday.


Tis' the season to wear..
Statement Jewellery

These chains and earrings can really make an outfit so much so that you might not even need to wear any other jewellery. 
Choker necklace £1.99 Theses were from eBay, I can never seem to find them in H&M so I went to eBay!
 Republic Earrings £6  I fell in love with these as soon as I saw it in Republic and I can't wait to wear them.
Primark Necklace £4 This is from Primark.  I love the way it lays on my chest and just gives a dress that extra pizazz that it needs.
Earrings £7 Asos They may not look big in the picture but these earrings are massive! They're beautiful though. They are "I've arrived" earrings and no one can miss them.


Deck your nails with lots of..
Nail Polish

L.A Colors Jewel Tone £1 Everyone needs a little bit of glitter on their nails around this time of year. This one is called Jewel Tone.
Rimmel Sky High £3.69  & Rimmel Double Decker Red £2.99  These are both colours that are festive and go so well with this time of year.


On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me lots and lots of...
Makeup

Sleek Blusher These are good quality and there is such a wide range of shades so there will be at least one that suits you!
MUA Eyeliner Lovely Lilac and Royal Blue They add a pop of colour to the eyes. The royal blue is indeed very blue so if you'd prefer something more subtle then lovely Lilac is for you. 
Rimmel Day to Night Mascara £7.99 I love this mascara! I really can't fault it. 
MUA Heaven & Earth Eyeshadow pallet  You get 12 eye shadows for £4 and the pigmentation is amazing! 


Last Christmas I gave you my...
Book

The Kite Runner I'm reading this for my English Literature assessment. If you prefer to read books or have a friend who does but you don't want a kindle then Amazon is the place for you. There are thousands of books you can buy for under £10. 

I cannot wait for X Factor tonight! Team Jahmes (James & Jahmene)

Thanks for reading!
