Best Of...Primark


Granny Gee
Primark at ASOS!

How great is it that ASOS have done the hard work for you and trawled through Primark to find the best pieces! 

Here's a few things I've got my eye on! 

Wallpaper print body con dress, £10

Floral skater dress (a la Holly Willoughby style), £13

Open back floral dress, £13

Star sweatshirt, £8

The only fault I find with ASOS is that they can't seem to find my house! They've driven past it about three times and I've actually had to run behind the van waving...and they still kept driving! I do live in the middle of nowhere, but still! It's annoying!

Free People, Moonshine and Silver

I saw the little beauty on the right on someone's blog earlier today. I can't get it outta my mind! 




My mum has a charm bracelet that my Grandpa bought her when she was younger and my favourite charm on it is a moon one. I think that's why I have a soft spot for moon jewellery. 

When I saw this hanging round someones neck on their outfit post, I knew I had to find out where it was from! 

I'd never been on Free People's website before and already love it! They seem to have a variety of price points, so you can find a save and splurge item that look quite similar. Perfect for a girl on a budget!

MUA Nail Varnish Review


MUA Nail Varnish Review 

This nail varnish is amazing! Only £1 and in so many different colours! 

I opted for some ice-cream pastel shades, all ready for the summer. A mint green, lilac and baby pink. 

Although this nail varnish does look pigmented and slightly separated while in the bottle, for pastel colours you would expect to put on quite a few layers. 

The mint green only needed two coats, but you could put on more if you wanted a brighter green. The lilac and baby pink needed three coats to be a matte colour. 

For only £1 each I would totally recommend these nail varnishes. And the price means you buy all the shades you like, not just one!

Saturday Savings

Today was all about savings - saving time & money.

My mum kindly drove me to find where my internship is based, to save me time and stress on monday morning! 
The magazine is called Velvet and it's a free, luxury mag based in Newmarket. 
We then headed to Bury St Edmunds for a bit of retail therapy. 


And here are some of my purchases! 
We started off at The Works - if you haven't been it is AMAZING for super cheap books and craft materials. The Dressmaking book is so thick and reduced from £25 to £9.99! A great saving and hopefully something to inspire me to get back into sewing! I also picked up another book for my dissertation (which is a big secret at the moment, I'll tell you all about it soon!) for £3.99! What a bargain!

We then headed to Matalan, where I bought the boyfriend some black trousers for work as his have been worn to death! I also picked up this gorgeous statement silver necklace for £10. I think it's going to be great for updating my trusty LBD, as well as brand new black jumper! 

Lastly, we stopped off at Sainsbury's, and naturally, mother and I had to check out the stationary (we are a bit addicted to stationary...you should see her study!). I found this cute A5 notepad to use for next term at uni. And, of course, I needed to buy Vogue! LOVE the cover image this month. So sixties!


Easter Treats!!
 Sainsbury's have these Easter goodies on fabulous offers at the moment. Just a heads up! The eggs are 99p each and the animal bunnies are 80-something-pence a box.
