Haul time :)

Hellooo,

So I've been visiting my boyfriend for the past 2 or 3 so days (hence the lack of posts, sorry!). But we went into town and I bought a few things and decided i'd share them with you, along with some things i've bought online recently :). It's not a massive haul and the things were very reasonably priced as i's the end of summer and i've run out of money untill my next pay :)...

These are just a few things from Primark....I have wanted to buy a pair of black slipper style shoes for ages and these were £8 which was gooood, although when I have saved a bit up I may very well get the black studded ones from Topshop. 

I bought a grey and light pink skull scarf, which I am 90% sure is based on the Alexander McQueen skull scarf but it was only £4 which is a LOT cheaper. 

I do not own a denim shirt but wanted one to wear as more of a jacket. I saw this one in Primark for £12 and just had to get it. It's your everyday denim shirt with pearly buttons but the buttons and collar are decorated with studs, which of course is one of the major A/W trends this year. 

The sign in the middle was £2 in the sale, my room is covered in things like this and for that price i oculdn't resist.

This top from Zara was £17.99 which I thought was a little pricey but I loved it. It is a long sleeved, white top with blue stripes. Oh and the buttons at the front are studs :D 

I got these Essie nail varnishes from Fragrance Direct for £1.99 yes..£1.99!! They're full sized as well which is crazy and makes me wonder if Essie really is better than cheaper brands of nail varnish or whether the £7.99 price tag is a little overpriced. I got these in (from left to right) Muchi Muchi, Ballet Slippers, Vanity Fairest, Chubby Cheeks (which is a lovely deep orange, great for Autumn) and Tour De Finance. I'm not the biggest fan of Essie, but for £1.99 I couldn't resist.

This is very random but I got these little packs of tissues and I thought they were super cute. They're mini and were like £2 for 6 packs from good old Sainsbury's.  

Apologies again for the lack of posts but thank you for reading :)

Lots of love, Lucy xx

Back to uni - supplies haul

Helloooha,

So this is a little out of the 'beauty, fashion' area but I always find these interesting to read so thought i'd give it a go :) I really don't have to take much to my University lectures as we're usually just bored to death by the lecturers reading out the power point presentation. Never the less, there are some essentials I do take and a few things I take purely to help myself.

 My bag is this cream and brown faux leather bag from Zara, it was only £22.99 and I think it is adooooorable! The longer strap is removable and adjustable and for the price feels pretty well made. Inside there is a zippy pocket, a cream canvas pocket and little leather one which is big enough for a card or something.

These plastic pockets came as a pack of four from Rymans for something like £3. I take these as we usually get tonnes of loose bits of paper which usually end up getting squished and ripped in my bag, however these keep them much more readable.

This binder from WHSmith was £11.99, a little pricey tbh but I liked it and the fact it's split up into sections makes it easier to organise and to keep notes together.

An academic planner is a necessity for Uni, we have so much research, tasks, group meetings, tutorials, draft dates, hand in dates, presentation dates, room changes e.t.c. without one i'd probably fail. This is a day-a-page diary, giving me loads of room to write on. This was again from WHSmith

My pencil case is again from WHSmith it was like £2.99 which is pretty damn good. I've filled it with markers, highlighters, coloured pens, mechanical pencils and normal pens as I find making my notes colourful helps when I go back to use them. I also have little post-it 'tabs' which I use in my binder as well as in text books to bookmark things.

And that is it :) Thanks for reading guys. 

Lots of love, Lucy xx
