Weekend Hauling :)

So, I've posted my Weekend in Photos...now for the haul :)
After last weekend's shopping trip with no money, and since being paid now, I did a bit of shopping this weekend :)

Telford Spree:


Home Bargains:

Masks for Donna's Birthday Weekend :) We plan to wear these at Alton Towers, and at random moments throughout the weekend, haha. £1.29 each.

Muslin Cloth: 69p(?).
Face Mattifying Paper: 99p(?), I paid £5 for some of these recently!
Sponge (for nail art): 39p.
Barbie Purse: £1.25(!).
Bedroom Plaque: £1.99(?).

(These next few have rotated and wont go back :-\ Cue head tilt, haha)


I found this Barbie purse just on a shelf on it's own, so I grabbed it, took it to the till, asked how much it was...£1.25!!! BARGAIN BARBIE <3




Superdrug:

The Batiste was on offer at the till for £1.45!
Cuticle sticks: 99p.
Conditioning Cuticle Cream: £1.99(?).

Lush:

 The Comforter, a present for Donna's Birthday, and some facial scrub, as I just finished my Herbalism (1 day after the 'use by' date...)

I was very impressed with Herbalism, and would recommend, especially if you suffer from oily skin! However, I wanted to try something different this time, so I went for Angels on Bare Skin :)

Angels on Bare Skin: £5.95.

Topshop/Outfit:


The Beatles tee, as mentioned in my recent post :) : £22.

Republic:


Ouija vest, as mentioned in one of my recent posts :)
I had a panic, as I couldn't see it anywhere, then I found one on the sale rail, £10 from £16.99, even better! It was only a six 6 though...BUT, they are baggy tops, so all was well and I got it, yay!

Not my usual size :-p

Primark:

Rebellion Men's Fragrance: £4.

Men's fragrance for Dad :) Smells really nice!

Shimmer Blush Hearts, just £1. I will swatch these soon ;-)

Shimmer Blush Hearts: £1.

The infamous fleece bottoms :) Finally got me some! £5. I also plan to buy the light grey pair!

Just some standard leggings: £2.50 & £3.

Random vests: £3 (2-pack) & £2.

I am not 100% sure of some of the prices and have lost the receipts in my room, but I have put what I think they cost :)

Did you haul this weekend?

Weekend in Pictures :)

Hi Everyone :)

It's Monday again, doesn't the weekend fly?! Plus, I had a hospital appointment today, which I was dreading, so I tried to fill my weekend as much as possible with fun and laughter to take my mind of things. All was ok at the hospital in the end, nothing to worry about, thankfully! Though I had to have an Ultrasound, which was weird, as when you think of them you think of pregnant women having them, I am not pregnant btw, it was a check-up.

So I had a busy weekend, which was good fun :) Below are some photos of my weekend.

Friday night I stayed in.

Saturday: Day out with the family at Bridgnorth, Ironbridge World Heritage 25th Anniversary Festival & a lush veggie carvery :)

Face, featuring the 17 All About Nude palette, which I got free when purchasing 2x 17 products a while ago :)

Outfit: Primark...EVERYTHING! The only thing that wasn't Primark was my panties :)

I got this poodle print dress from a shop in Bridgnorth, £15.

One of the stalls along The Wharfage in Ironbridge, this one stood out, as you can see...so pretty and pink!
The Iron Bridge itself.

I LOVED this notice board, but everyone was saying it wasn't worth £18, as it'd be cheap to make. It was so cute though...
Donna & I, on the bridge :)

I got this from a little vintage boutique in Bridgnorth, £3.99. It just made me chuckle :)
Some 'Jen & Berry's' for pudding when we got home...yum!
Sunday: Antiquity Vintage Fair in Madelely & shopping in Telford :)

The day's accesories and cute bits :)
I look very white on here, the flash does me no justice sometimes.

Primark watch :) Love this!
Republic ring :)
So I bought this cardi about 3 years ago...
Kinda forgot I had it and it has been in my wardrobe since! Oops.
Outfit:
Cardi, Bank
Dress, New Look
Leggings, Primark 
Bag, Primark

Shoes, Primark.
Donna :)
 Antiquity Vintage Fair at The Anstice Memorial Institute, Madeley.
It was very small (but a great old building & ballroom), I saw a couple of little things, but left empty handed...well, not quite...
 My favourite, Queenies Cupcakery were there for the day :) Yum <3
- These weren't all mine.

So that was my fun weekend :)

Hope you all had a great weekend :)

Haul post to follow...

More Additions To The Wish List :)

Hi All :)

Tonight I bring you another 'Wish List' post.
So, as I previously mentioned, last weekend I went shopping to Telford and saw LOADS I wanted, but had no money at the time. Below are a few of the things I saw...and a couple of others I have discovered since :)

I am going back to Telford this weekend, and as I have been paid I MAY buy some of the things on here, just not sure which yet!

So let's begin...

   
Skull Cape: £24.99, River Island
I was instantly attracted to this, it's very different (how I like!) and interesting! Mum wasn't quite as sure, but then liked it when she saw it on :) Not sure when I would wear it but I am sure I would make use over the colder months. Plus it would be perfect for at Download Festival with the skulls and general warmth and cosiness. If only it was out earlier in the year so I could have taken it to Download and worn late at night when temperatures got unbearably freezing!

Next up, a maxi skirt :) Both mine are black and straight. I have been after a coloured, floaty one for ages and RI have some really nice ones atm. This one is shimmery material. It actually says it is a medium length...but I am short, and it is long :-p

Shimmery Navy Maxi Skirt: £24.99, River Island 

and then some shoes :)


Glitter Peeptoe Platform: £24.99, New Look
I was drawn in by these in the shop. They are HUGE and ridiculously glittery! Rainbow glitter <3


Satin Platform Shoes: £24.99, New Look
I just liked these when I saw them, simple as :)

I also found a vest in Republic that was so cool :)

Crafted Ouija board 'I Love Badboys' vest.
I can't see this on the Republic site yet, so am unable to add a pic. I wasn't sure on it, at first I thought it was really cool, then I saw it said 'I Love Badboys' and thought hmm... we all do, but is it a bit tacky? I don't know, but the vest looks cool :)

However, when searching Republics website I spotted another 2 tops that I like...
Crafted Hell Yeah Vest Top
£19.99

Crafted WTF Vest Top
£19.99
I also love the colour of the models hair and want mine that colour :)
This one has slits all down the back and a few at the side, pretty cool, though I would have to wear a black vest underneath!

So, that is all for tonight. I may have some purchases to report on after this weekend :) Though I am on a strict budget this month, as I have my sister's 21st Birthday weekend to pay for!

Fun weekend ahead for me:

Sat: Ironbridge World Heritage 25th Anniversary Festival
Sun: Antiquity Vintage Fair
Little bit of retail therapy here and there ;-)
(tidying room tomorrow morning and moving things out in prep for carpet to be removed and new flooring put in before new bed arrival)...fun.

Hope you all have a fab weekend.

xXx

A Little Pay Day Spending :)

Good Evening, well 1am...I really need to start going to bed earlier at night :-\

It's one of my favourite days...PAY DAY! YAY :)

So, today has been productive...I spoke my mind and voiced my opinion on a few things (which felt so much better to not keep things locked in any longer!), I booked the hotels for my sisters 21st Birthday weekend (Blackpool & Liverpool Albert Dock - can.not.wait!) and I filled up my car (finally!).

This evening I went to Telford, to the retail park which has a B&M Store, as I needed some more shoe boxes, well, I need quite a few more, but just got 6 more for now as they are cheap from there ;-) Went round a few of the shops up there, then to Tesco back in Shrews to get a few things too (some I can't show as they are presents!). 

I am currently listening to some Nirvana <3 Which starts me off on today's little haul...

Kerrang mag, celebrating 20 years of Nirvana's 'Nevermind' <3

B&M <3

Shoe boxes: £2.49 for 3!
Zebra storage seat (because I love zebra!): £3.99

Next up a visit to Boots, sprayed some perfume and had a little (sensible headed!) browse.
Got a few things which are presents, so can't show.
But, following my recent post on a Prestige lipstick I bought, I found another gorge one tonight, this time 75% off, at just £1.62! Also included in 3 for 2 offer! Crazy.

Prestige 'Romantic Red' Lipstick: £1.62



This is in my dimly lit living room, so not the best swatch but you can see how shimmery the lipstick is. It is a lovely reddy-pink colour, not bold red.

Another swatch attempt.

Next up, Tesco.
I got a few things, including Kerrang mag, but can't show some, as again they are presents :)

More Vivo from Tesco :) I couldn't resist...I fear it may be a problem now, everytime I go to Tesco having to look and be tempted!
Also got some hand sanitizer for my car, only 65p...bargain!

Vivo Baked Blush in Peaches and Cream: £4, Tesco

I couldn't really get a good swatch photo in dim light, but you can see the colour of the blush in the pot on this :)

Swached in dim light (I will show in natural light ASAP)

Still trying to get a good swatch photo!

The Baked Blush is a gorgeous colour, and I really like these :) They very much remind me of the Accesorize ones! and so cheap!

We popped in to Outfit at the retail park and I spotted a CUTE dress in the Dorothy Perkins section, which I really want for Donna's Birthday weekend.

<3

I also spotted a Beatles Abbey Road tee in Topshop section, which I love and think would be very apt for Liverpool :)

I shall leave you all with my words of wisdom of the day...
If you have something on your mind that is bugging or upsetting you, speak up! Tell someone how you feel and don't keep it trapped inside. You'll feel much better for it :)
