rAnDoM cute hAuL.

Hey Gals, so as you can tell by the funky title I've got a cute lil' random collective haul for you today. I am in love with all of these goodies I have brought recently whether it's from clothes to miscellaneous randomness so I guess you could put this in the category of a 'Favourites' as well. Here goes....

The first item is clothing and it is this gorgeous yellow, flower print rain coat/mac. I absolutely adore this coat, I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. I just know that it is going to be prefect for throwing in my bag when I'm off out in the Summer- let's face it the British weather is completely unpredictable. This would also be good if your off to a festival this year and I don't think it was even that expensive. You can pick this beauty up from Next.






Me and my friends like to go 'Charity Shop' shopping every once in a while, as you can usually find unique clothes in there and one off items all at really cheap prices. Whilst also donating to charity so there's definitely no  regret of spending too much money. On our latest trip I picked up this book by Colin Dexter. It's the last book in the Inspector Morse Series and I know it is going to be so sad. I'm really looking forward to being able to read this in the Summer when I've got a lot more free time.


 I wondered into Boots not too long ago to pick up a few basic essentials that I'd run out from: one of them things being concealer. I decided to try out 'Rimmel's Wake Me Up' Concealer and i can honestly say I have not been disappointed. It's got brilliant coverage but is also really light.


My mum had a few vouchers left over from Christmas and so she gave them to me and I decided to buy this beautiful casual denim dress from Dorothy Perkins. I can't remember exactly how much it was, I think it was about £20 but it was quite the bargain really. I can't wait to where this in the warmer months without the need for tights and Dr Martens. However, this is a brilliant transitional piece from Spring to Summer.





Whilst in Boots I also picked up another tube of the Tea Tree Witch Hazel 'shine control day moisturizer' . I absolutely love this stuff and cannot live without it but I won't go on about it too much as I have written a blog post on it before. I'll leave the link for that down below if you want to go and check it out. I also purchased my usual liquid foundation: 'Rimmel's Match Perfection' foundation in shade Ivory. This is my go-to foundation I love how it isn't 'cakey' but does have a really good coverage.



I needed a new pair of basic jeans so I hopped on over to New Look and bought some standard black jeans. I really love the fit and comfort of New Look Jeans. However, after wearing these a few times I found that they are the type of material that seem to attract pet hair like crazy. This sin't very good for me as I live in a house with two cats and a dog. I have resulted to buying another pair of black jeans from Primark and just wearing these on special occasions. 

I bought this stunning purse from New Look as well. Originally, I was looking for the lilac version of this purse but they didn't have it in stock so I bought this one instead. I must say I have been receiving many lovely compliments about how pretty it is. It isn't only pretty though, it's practical too as it has lots of slots for cards as well as a large compartment for coins and cash.



I have been loving basic tee's lately and so I picked up a grey and black ringer tee from New Look. As I start College this Autumn I desperately need to fill out my wardrobe with some basic everyday essentials that I can just throw on when I am late to get up in a morning. And so i thought this would still look cute with a little necklace and a chunky cardigan. 


I hope would've enjoyed this post and if you'd like me to do more hauls like this then comment below or follow me.

American Goodies!

As you may know, if you follow me on Twitter or Pinterest my brother and his girlfriend recently went to America for a fun packed city escape to New York. While they were there they bought some lovely things for moi and so I decided to share them with you in this post.

This a bag which they bought me from the Hershey store. As you will tell when you read on I have a real LOVE for Hershey's chocolate so this is why they bought me this. It is quite a large, structured bag, similar to the 'bag for life's' you can get here in the UK. I particularly love how the image of the cartoon chocolate looks quite retro.


Maybe, I should explain before I talk about this one. Previous, to when my brother and Kayleigh went into the Hershey store they had been struggling of what to bring me back from America so when they went into this chocoholics heaven they thought they would buy me a lot of Hershey stuff because they know that I absolutely love it. Plus, over here where I live it is quite expensive as everything is imported :(
So pictured above is a giant Hershey Kiss. Yep 198g of solid milk Hershey chocolate. It looks so pretty in it's box though so I really don't know when I will actually eat it.
This t-shirt I actually asked if they could bring me back.It's a Guardians Of The Galaxy burn out tee from Forever 21. I am in LOVE with this. It so brilliant- it's going to be perfect to throw on in the summer with some shorts and your hair in a cute messy bun. If any of you gals have watched this amaaaaaazing film then drop me a comment below- I think it's great. I watched it last night actually. It is one of the only Marvel films that I actually enjoy apart from the new 'SpiderMan' Movies but that's mainly because Andrew Garfield is super hot.


They also brought me back this amazing jumper that is just perfect for the spring time. It's a jumper but it's not really thick- I just know it's going to be brilliant for them mornings where it's freezing but by dinner time it's really warm. This was from American Eagle Outfitters.




They bought me these typical tourist souvenirs. Sorry if your are from America and arelooking at this and thinking why the hell is she getting excited about this stuff but yeah, I love these.
The cute key ring pictured to the left is really nice and you'll probably see it on my backpack in some pictures soon. I don't know whether you gals know but I have this collection of snow-globes that I've had since I was like 9 maybe and it just keeps on growing, so much so that I have to keep the majority in a box and swap and change them once in a while. So yep, this is another gorgeous snow-globe to add to my growing collection.



And finally the last two things-both Hershey of course. They bought me 2 classic bags of Hershey kisses (my favourite), 'Cookies n Cream' and milk chocolate, and a huge bottle of Hershey's chocolate flavour syrup. I can't wait to try out this syrup on pancakes or waffles... with strawberries. Mmm. Keep checking my Instagram and you'll probably see one of them within the next week :)

Thanks for reading, remember to share my blog with your friends if you enjoyed this and follow me on my other sites. 

I now have a Tumblr so give that a cheeky visit if you want

What's in my bag tag- School Edition.

As it is the start of September many of you have probably gone back to, or started high school ,or college and because of this I came up with the idea of combining  a 'what's in my bag' tag with a school essentials type thing. It also then gives you some ideas about what you might need if your starting a new stage in your education; everything from beauty to planning covered.
 
My bag is actually an old season Next leather look shoulder bag, that I happened to stumble upon in a charity shop. Now at school we have been told that we are having bigger books this year and so my bag is bigger so I can fit them in; it is slightly bigger than your average shopper bag. It has a quite large oblong pocket at the front which would be perfect for those of you who have large purses and also a zip compartment at the front which is really hand for throwing your phone in and headphones- this pocket is actually quite deceiving and is bigger than it looks. The main section of the bag is what feels like suede lined (although I don't think it is) and has an inner pocket, phone slot and slightly larger slot next to it for, lets say your camera. It has also got a large zip pocket on the back of the bag.
 
 
In the first large pocket of my bag there is a small packet of tissues and a compact mirror. I can tell you now that after a few weeks this is also where I will find a hoard of lip products that I have felt like I haven't seen in years as this is what usually happens. Honestly, last year I ended up with roughly 5 various lip products in my blazer pockets. Currently, there is only one lipstick in there, which is a YBF lipstick in shade popular primrose. It is such a pretty everyday shade. I love it! And the mirrored packaging is super cute too... although I can't find a link to leave you, sorry.
 
 
The main section of my bag is filled with 5 school books, my media folder, a tattered copy of 'Lord Of The Flies' and my pink lunchbox.  My pencil case is also in this section. It is from Home Bargains an was only 99p as I thought that there was no point in spending money on an expensive pencil case when it was my last year. It has a really pretty montage effect print on it of leopard and zebra print in bright colours, the zip is also a pastel blue, which is one of my favourite colours at the minute. Also in my bag there is my body spray, which comes in handy after a hard P.E lesson; 'Charlie' in scent 'Enchant'. I'm rubbish at describing smells so basically on the back it says ''charismatic blend of wild apple, honeysuckle and coconut''. I don't know what that is suppose to mean but it does smell really pretty, this is my go-to body spray at the minute. In the phone pocket I have got my ''Mini Ted Baker body spray'' which is described as being a compromise ''of rose sandalwood and juicy raspberry that smells as good as it looks''. Ok, no need to be so cocky Ted Baker. Aha. But it does actually look really pretty.


In the last back pocket of my bag there is the instructions to my calculator (which is in the front zip section sorry :/ ) and a next carrier bag. Which I use for when my coat or umbrella gets wet in the morning, I can put it in there so that it doesn't get everything else wet. Clever thinking on my part methinks.

If you enjoyed reading this post (I knew I enjoyed writing it then please drop me a comment. Thank you for reading, have a nice day,
