The £6 Perfume from Primark

I love a perfume, I don't feel complete without wearing some kind of scent. It's just part of life now. As much as I love Daisy by Marc Jacobs its not the cheapest product so I want to save every last spray for special occasions or days where I need perking up. I wanted to find a cheaper alternative to wear on an every day basis. Whilst recently browsing the Primark in Tottenham Court Road I came across a display of perfumes.
Coachella 05 was one of the main features on the perfume stand I came across. What mainly swung it for me was the packaging. I live in a lot of black but I am a sucker for a bit of bold colouring. Plus both the packaging and bottle scream summer vibes. And I could use a bit of sun just saying. The fragrance is quite light and delicate. Like everyone says I don't really know how to describe scents but it's not overly sweet which is what I usually like to go for. It's easy wearing for everyday. And the bottle is huge so I hope will last me a long time. I think I now want to pick up the smaller bottle to put in my handbag.

You got to love finding a winning product for such a good price!

A short and sweet post today, apologies for the lack of life on here lately. Last week was my birthday I'm 22 now, so an old git essentially. And I've been doing so much overtime (well probably not that much compared to most people) but yeah.

What's this about Autumn??

Dress- Primark
Sandals Primark
Leather Jacket- Asda
Hair- a right state

A week into third year at university and I'm already ill, nice one immune system. So we've reached September that means the start of Autumn right. Well apparently the weather here in England currently doesn't think so. We're currently experiencing a little heat wave which I'm not a fan of. Both myself and my wardrobe are extremely confused. I packed coats, jumpers and boots so I am not prepared for warmness. Every morning I've been staring at my clothes thinking what do I do.
I did pack a couple of summer dresses just in case. This dress is from Primark and from what I remember was only £5. I loved the colour of and it was so light that I thought it'd be perfect to just chuck on when I feel like I don't want to wear anything. You know those days where it's so hot that layers of clothes just aren't appealing. I'm aware that you can see my bra through the dress, I have to work with what I have haha! The sandals I bought after watching Kate from gh0stparties show them in a haul. They were such a good price and I really like the pattern on them. I've been living in my leather jacket so it's a must right now.
Today my throat is extremely sore and I'm feeling a tad under the weather. I am heading out for a late lunch with a few of my friends from uni. We're going for Mexican so I'm hoping the spice will help me out (although not too spicy as I can't handle it). I think we're heading out for a few drinks to. I feel like if I carry on with doing things then hopefully whatever this 'illness' is will just disappear. Tomorrow I will take it easy.  I don't have time to be ill I got shit to do!

Summertime Blues



 

 

 

Top- New Look

Black leggings- Asos
Shoes- Primark

Necklace- Regal Rose

Hair- wild

 

 

I'm going through a phase at the moment where I dislike pretty much everything in my wardrobe. I'm looking at loads of things thinking why the hell did you buy that! I rediscovered this baby blue short sleeved jumper I bought in the spring time from New Look. It's slightly colder here and raining as I am typing this. So I felt like it was acceptable to wear a jumper even though it's suppose to be August. I love wearing my black tube pants (how they're described on the Asos website). Not gonna lie when I first got them bloody hell they were uncomfortable. The waistband has like no give in it. However I've persisted and now they are actually quite loose around the waist. Either I've lost some weight or they've stretched (I'll just tell myself the first option) haha! My necklace I bought from the clothes show live a couple of years back from the Regal and Rose stall that was there.

I think the title of this is appropriate as sadly I'm having to chuck these pair of shoes. There is somehow a massive crack through the sole making them unwearable. Can we please just have a moment to mourn the shoes....

I now want some actual Doc Marten style brogues.

Now I'm gonna go back to convincing myself to do some work even though it's not going to happen and listening to Lower than Atlantis. My personal favourite song right now is Here We Go, have a listen if you want!

 

 

 

 

 



A couple of new Primark Additions

 

 

 

 

Alright!
Being at a uni that's a short train ride away from London is really exciting. However its not so good for my bank balance. I had to go into London to do some fabric shopping, but I figured I would pop into the Tottenham Court Road Primark as it is my favourite. So what was supposed to be a trip for me picking up a couple of necessities for my uni summer ball turned into me picking up a couple of items I absolutely love!!

I did actually need some sandals. The one's I own literally feel like cardboard at the bottom and do not provide any comfort to my feet. After seeing Kate from gh0stparties (check out her blog!!) show these Aztec print sandals in a Primark haul I knew I needed them in my life. I picked up the monochrome coloured pair for £4 which I think is amazing! They also did a tan and coral coloured pair with the same design but didn't have my size :'(. I'm still going to look for them ha!

 

 

The most exciting find for me was this amazing kimono. I have wanted a kimono for the longest time but for some reason I have never bought one. What I loved about this one is that it's knitted but is still light and floaty. Plus I'm a lover of fringing (I adore the 1920's). The neutral shade and soft floral pattern on it makes it wearable with lots of different outfits. I literally couldn't leave it.

 

 

 

 

I saw lots of pieces in Primark that  I could see me wearing for summer. Hence why I will not be going there for a little while (yeah right)

 

 

 

Hope your having a lovely start to the week
