Primark Haul #2.

Hello everyone,

The last time I went to Primark I did a fair bit of on damage to my bank account, still the amount I spent wasn't near the amount of my biggest Primark shop..lets just say that's almost £200, that one still shocks me really! I don't think I've ever been so satisfied with everyone single thing that I picked up but I honestly love everything from this little haul.


Now before we start the photos annoy me as well as the lighting kept changing in my room but couldn't see the difference that much until I imported them on my laptop, but you can still get the idea! Also I lost my receipt so I can't put the official prices down as I can't find a lot of the things on the website so in my mini description I'll put a rough guess as to how much they were.


Hogwarts top
Now I'm a complete sucker for an easy wear slogan top, especially if it's Harry Potter themed! I think the gold Hogwarts crest sort of swung my decision to buy this as it just completed the top. I think this top was £7/8, basing this on other Potter tees I've bought in the past.


Blouse
I went through a phase when I was about 16/17 when I would always wear a collared blouse as I was obsessed with the style but collars can annoy me after a few washes as they never seem to sit perfectly in line with each other again! I saw this and thought I needed, the colour is more of a burnt orange than a bright shade. I tried this on at home and the high neck is perfect for me and there's a really cute zip detailing on the back. I'm pretty sure this cost £10. 
 
 
 Mickey top
When I got this top I wasn't really too sure about wearing it in public, it was for more of a slouchy top for home but when I trying this on I realised it's probably the cutest thing ever! I love the vintage look of it, my cousin had a top like this years ago, and will be perfect for my Disneyland trip in September! I can't really remember the price for this but I think it was about £10 or under.
 

Pyjama top
I already own a fair few slogan tops that have the theme of Finding Nemo on them so when I saw these I thought it would be brilliant to expand that theme into my pyjamas. Originally I weren't going to buy them as I have probably too many pj's but I couldn't really leave this, I just love Dory's expression!
 
 
 Pyjama bottoms
I wasn't prepared to buy the top with the matching bottoms, and with the cute clown fish pattern on the bottoms they made the pyjama set complete!

 
 Slippers
I picked up a pair of slippers for my mums pamper hamper that I'm making for her. The normal size that she would wear looked far too small so considering they're just for the house I can't really do any harm if they're a little big but they look like they'll be fine.
 
 
 Storage box
Lastly I picked up this cute little box hold everything in my mums pamper themed present, my friend had a cute idea of tying little things in the middle of the hearts so that's what I plan to do. I'm pretty 
sure this was £6.
So that's everything I got from Primark, next time I'll put the receipt in a safe place!!

Primark Haul #1.

Hello everyone, 

Shopping is a very expensive habit of mine, so expect an unhealthy amount of hauls on this blog. I'm not going to do much of an introduction today as I want to jump straight into it but here are the key facts. I went to Primark and spent more money than I probably should have, and here's what I bought..please note that there's a strong theme of Harry Potter and Disney!


Jasmine Tote Bag - £3
A friend had told me about these gorgeous bags before and today I finally stumbled upon them. The princesses that were there were Jasmine and Snow White, but lately I'm in such a love affair with the film Aladdin that I thought this would be a better choice - now I can save 5p on carrier bags!


 Hogwarts Jumper - £10 [size 16]
I'm an absolute sucker for anything Potter related, but I thought this jumper would be perfect for lazy days or even when the weather starts to transition from Winter to Spring as the material isn't the thickest for the brutal cold of England, unless of course you want to layer up. 


 Harry Potter joggers - £10 [size 18]
Spotting these excited me so much because I wanted some more Primark joggers as I find them super comfy to lounge around in, and if a quick run to the local shop was needed then the fitted leg and elasticated bottom makes them the perfect item of clothing. I was slightly heartbroken when they didn't have my size but I settled for the next size up as they're mainly for the house anyway.


 Beauty and the Beast top - £7 [size 16]
Perfect slogan top to chuck on with jeans/leggings for the days that I just can't be bothered to plan a super fashionable outfit, and to be honest with you all, that's pretty much every day! I love the different fonts used as I'm a massive fan of typography also one thing that excited me is that these sleeves look longer than the normal roll up sleeve that most Primark slogan tees have..now I can't comment if that statement is true as I never tried any of these things on but I'll be sure to let you know.


  Hogwarts Houses top - £7 [size 16]
Slytherin. Just throwing it out there for all the Potterheads reading this that I am in fact a member of Slytherin, and while you're here feel free to say what house you belong to, just so I can put some personality behind my few readers.  
 


 Snow White top - £7 [size 16]
Simple and sweet. The gold reads, 'the fairest one of all - Snow White' with a silhouette of the princess herself. The bottom of this tee is long at the back, just enough to cover my bum, an shorter at the front with some slits up the side so I'll be pairing this up with some high waist black jeans also in hope that the gold will stand out more.

 Alice in Wonderland top - £6 [size 16]
Disney meets Mean Girls, need I say more? I mainly bought this because I love the scene of the Mad Hatters tea party in the classic but now looking back it's perfect for a day that I feel like a grump or slightly bitching..sadly sometimes that happens but what I can I do?

Hope you enjoyed this fairly lengthy haul as much as I enjoyed buying all these things.

Until next time,
Shannon.
