OOTD - Knitwear

This is my outfit of the day for Sunday. I wore my new kinitted jumper from H&M which i included in my last haul. I don't do these often but i want to do these more but their very annoying to do as you have to take time to take the pictures, and then you have to upload them, then you have to write a post on it. Theres just so much effort to put into it. Without further ado, here's my outfit.





I'm wearing my knitted jumper with some high waisted shorts from Primark which i believe were £10. I brought them last year though. I'm wearing some black tights aswell. No shoes on here but i wore some brown boots from New Look which were like £22 or something that i got recently. Also, i studded the neckline of my jumper with some studs from river island which were in my last haul also.

Anyway, thanks for reading my first ever OOTD post. See you later!



Little Haul

I went shopping for presents on Saturday! So i thought i'd show you what i brought. I'm going to start off with some cheeky purchases for myself.

I brought this knitted jumper from H&M, I got it in the sale for £7! It was originally £15 so i was very happy with this bargain, and i really like it. I really like knitted jumpers because they're really Christmasy and wintery. I just love knitted jumpers. I also did read in the newspaper the other day (yes, i'm an avid newspaper reader) that lots of shops are putting sales on before Christmas to entice customers in so they buy more because customers have been spending a lot less money in shops recently. Shops usually do these sales after Christmas.
Jumper - £7 (Originally £15)

Secondly, i got this anklet for myself from Topshop. I thought it was bracelet and i only realized when i got home that it was an anklet. It was in the sale for £1.50 which i was really happy with.
Anklet - £1.50 (Originally £5)

I also picked up this pack of 10 studs for £6 from River Island. I've been wanting to pick up some studs for a while now but i'm not a fan of buying online, so i didn't. When i saw these i got so excited, literally everyone in the store must of turned round to look at me. The best thing about these are that you can use them as many different times as you like on any product. I would highly recommend purchasing these studs.

Studs - £6


Now onto things i brought as presents. Now i would show you what I've got for my brothers, my mum and my grandparents but I've wrapped it all up so i'll show you some of what i brought for my friends although i still need to buy some more.

First of all i brought this Benefit set for £10 from Boots. Its called 'Benefit Besties' Its got the 'Some-Kind-A Gorgeous' foundation in medium and 'That Gal' primer which is a brightening face primer. I'm not a fan of the packaging as its not their usual fun packaging. It looks a bit cheap. I'm also not pleased with the set once i opened it up at home because the products are very small. My friend will probably only get a few uses out of them.

Benefit Besties - £10

For the same friend i brought the Soap and Glory 'Sugar Crush body wash'. I was going to get her the 'Sugar Crush scrub' but she commented on the body wash so i brought it for her although she doesn't know. I'm not crazy over the scent though. It smells a bit too sugary, although its supposed to smell of sweet lime. I do usually like citrus and sugar smells though so this was strange for me. I was pleased with how big the container is, it holds a lot and its got a pump at the top to get it out with so i really like that. Another thing i notciced was that the body wash isn't actually pink, its white. i thought it was pink so i was disappointed to find out that its white.
Body wash - £6.50

There was a 3 for 2 offer on all luxury bath products or something like that so i felt inclined to buy 2 more soap and glory products. They were minis though. I purchased the 'Scrub of your Life' body wash and the the 'Flake Away' scrub. The scrub smells amazing, it says it smells of shea butter, sugar and peach seeds but it just smells yummy.
Both - £2.50

Next i brought some Jack Wills pants although these were purchased online and collected by my brother on the way to college. I brought 3 pairs (well, actually my mum did) for myself and 2 of my friends. Mine and 1 of my friends have been wrapped up though. So I've only got one pair to show. They're really soft, I apologize if thats weird. It was a 30% (I think) off offer online  but its over now. I got these for £8.75 (if it was 30% off). I got navy and pink for myself, black and hot pink for my friend and my other friends pants are below. Jack wills also gave us these really cute gift boxes to wrap them up in with tissue paper and ribbon which is really cute.
Pants - £8.75

(Sorry for the blurryness)

I also brought these earrings from river island which are little swallows. They're gold and i love them but i don't have my ears pierced so they're being gifted to my friend.

Earrings - £1.50

In the city where i went too, there is a really cute sweet shop so i went in and brought a few sweets.

Firstly i brought some candy canes, very festive! I brought 2 strawberry and i peppermint although in the picture below its just one of each. The peppermint is the one with more stripes. They were 99p each which i thought was rather dear for some candy canes which aren't even that big but nevertheless i purchased some.
Candy Canes - 99p each

I also brought some tongue tattoos which are really cool. You press them on your tongue for a few seconds and it imprints a picture onto your tongue in red. Unfortunately these only stay on for a few minutes but their still really cool for 50p. You get  sheets of 6 and there are 4 sheets in a pack.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read my haul. I hope its given you some ideas as to what to buy for your friends (or yourself).

New Winter Look

I've changed my blog header to something more wintery and i'm trying to add a snow effect but its difficult, so bear with me!
