An Outfit of The Day and a Supermarket Escapade


Hello everyone :) Hope you had a lovely Easter!

I haven't really been up to much lately, just reading loads (not related to my course mind, terrible) and watching Doctor Who (I'm obsessed). Today I thought I'd give you a cheeky outfit of the day. It's not really very exciting as I was just going to pop to town with my lovely mum but I hope you like it. Sorry for the lack of face shots I am having a seriously bad hair day. One day I will learn to tame my mane, just not this day.

I have a MASSIVE pile of work I should be doing so I'm afraid there probably won't be many exciting lifestyle posts for a couple of weeks but once I get back to uni I promise to keep you throughly updated on goings on (there's never a dull moment!). For now lets get this show on the road...



The Outfit:











Zee Outfit:
Green (although it looks blue) Jumper ~ Zara
Bag ~ Primark
Skirt ~ Primark
Leggings ~ Sainsburys (Seriously the best leggings ever, so comfy)
Converse ~ Office
Necklace ~ Primark
Scarf ~ Mums










 Here's a close up of my chipped nails and the beautiful ring I keep on banging on about!

The Supermarket Escapade:

Begged my mum for Dunkers,  guys they're on buy one get one free, GET INNN! Snack-food of my childhood right there.


In any shop I can find the sweet aisle instantly, maybe that's my superpower?



Orders from Amazon that have arrived, it's almost like Christmas, except I'm now 1/18th poorer. But look pretty books!


One does not simply leave the Haribo in Morrisons...I had to have them guys don't judge. Haribo and I go together like jam and peanut butter, marmite and toast. We are kin. Notice how all my similes are food related. I just really like food, ok! And Stationery...there's just something about have brand new highlighters (not even kidding).



I had far too much fun just hanging out with my madre and buying sweeties like the 5 year old I am inside. Ooh and I have just watched The Mindy Project on the telly and I really recommend it. It follows the life of Mindy; a doctor with an obsession with Rom-Coms and a penchant for sarcasm: my kinda gal. Possibly my favourite thing on telly at the mo, apart from Who of course. Right, those Haribos are looking mighty good...I may have to cheekily have a few. Hey it's Easter! it's practically eat what you want month. It's all good.


What have you guys been up to this Easter? Hope you've all had a good 'un. I'm sure you've all been way more productive that me! Let me know in the comments :)

Sinful Spending



Ok. If I had any doubts about my shopaholism they have been thoroughly and duely disspelled. Gurl. I have problems. At Uni miraculously I don't really shop that much, this is mostly because I resent paying the fare to town (I can't be alone in this cheapskateness surely? A whole quid! That could be spent on Mc Donalds fries) and I'm always too busy having fun hanging out with my hallmates or else having my head firmly in my Bronte course reading (which reminds me I have to reread Jane Eyre before next week...). Thus when faced with the task of saving for my holiday and volunteering in the Summer I foolishly though it would easy. I convinced myself I had cured my spending bug and I was the Queen of saving. 
How very very naive I was. One week back in London and I have been to the paradoxal heaven and hell that is Primark, not once but twice! I know. It's an illness. But good ol' Primark have seriously stepped up their game (and their prices, mind you, tut, tut!) for SS/2013. So I thougth I'd show you guys what I purchased before I ban myself from spending more money on beautiful, beautiful clothes. 



Fine Knit Oversized 'Bat Wing' Cardi ~ Primark £10
Hamsa Hand Long Necklace ~ Primark £2
Selection of earrings ~ Primark £2.50



Flowery Dress with crochet empire line ~ Primark £10
Floral Canvas Purse ~ Primark £4
White Pemplum Tee ~ Primark £4


Mint Green Cardi ~ Primark £4.90 (Sale!)
White Short-Sleeved Body~ Primark £5



Mint Green Bobbly Fine Knit Jumper ~ Primark £6
Blue stone ring ~ Primark £2 (Possibly my favourite thing ever!)
Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in BlueBerry ~  Superdrug £3.99



All these buys are oodly girly for me, my style is definitely changing and I think I like it! Any of these bits and bobs catch your eye? I'm thinking of doing a 'Handbag Must-Haves' type post and some general lifestyle posts this week if anyone's interested. I'm keen to know if anyone would like any outfit posts too.
Hope you're all having a jolly good evening/ early morning, is that really the time? Big love.
