Shit I've brought- Two

It's time for my second monthly round up of shit I brought.

1. Navy striped jacket- H&M
2. Green Jacket- Primark
3. Belt- Primark
4. Snood- Primark
5. Necklace- Primark
6. Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipgloss
7. Lotus polo shirt and hat

There was definitely a lot less this month than last. I'm not sure if that was a conscious choice or if it was just because I new I had a holiday to save for.

Crackle

New nails! I've had this Models Own crackly nail varnish for ages, but have never been able to think of a way to wear it.


Two coats of Rimmel Nail Rescue for a base, then from left to right:
Barry M in Berry, Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish in Apricot Punch, Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish in Sunshine, Rimmel Lycra Pro in Peppermint and Barry M in Matt White. Once all that was dry I did a coat of Models Own Smash-up Black for the cracking.

Aztec

Another work day, another jeans and t-shirt combo. It does feature my new snood from Primarni though which makes it slightly more interesting. Is buying a scarf to match a ring a little crazy? Or justifiable when you collect scarfs/wear them daily?

Top: Primark
Jeans: River Island
Shoes: Converse
Ring: Nothing (not pictured, but it's the triangular one I've worn before)


Belt: Primark
Snood: Primark

Grey

The sun was shinning for a couple of hours today, but by the time I was actually going out it was throwing it down (again). It's getting boring now. I'm going to have to take all of my summer clothes on holiday just so I have a chance to wear them this sumer!

Jeans: Topshop
Scarf: Work

New eBay Shirt

Today I finally worked out how I could wear the shirt I got from eBay last month. I'm aware I'm wearing a jumper in July, that would be because England sucks and we've had rain and nothing above 20 degrees for the last two months!

Shirt- Fat Face (Via eBay)
Jeans- Topshop
Scarf- Miss Selfridge
Jumper- H&M
Shoes- Converse



Ring- not sure (Miss Selfridge maybe)
Earrings- Accessorize

Shit That I Have Brought: Month One

I have an addiction to buying things, which would be fine if I was a millionaire, but as I'm not I need to try and get a handle on it before it gets ridiculous. Luckily I tend to prefer Primark and Poundland to anything even slightly expensive (Topshop) so it could be worse.

I've decided to start making a note of everything, not necessary (coffee is necessary) I buy in a month to see if it can shame me in to curbing my spending and saving some money. If it works it means I'll be able to afford the trip I'm starting to plan for next year without having to worry. If I can't I may have to try to find a way to make some extra money.

So, after that long introduction here is month one of Shit That I Have Brought:

1. Ring- Nothing
2.Grey cropped leggings- Primark
3. Black cardi- Primark
4. Shirt- Fat Face (via eBay)
5. Weekend bag- Primark
6. Make-up bag- Pound Land
7. Miss Sporty Lipstick- Pound Land
8. Black Flats- Primark
9. Two pairs of sunglasses- new look
10. 17 BB cream-Boots
11. 17 Bronzer-Boots
12. 17 Powder Brush-Boots
13. Free 17 festival kit (note the free, which means I didn't buy it. So really it doesn't count).
14. Flip Flops- White Stuff
15. Gilet- Joules

I was going to post pictures of everything, or one big picture, but I've already started wearing things and keep forgetting to do it when I have good light. I did manage to get pictures of the 17 festival kit thought, because I wanted to show you what's inside.


 There's an eyeliner, nail varnish and an instant tanner. The nail varnish and the eye liner are both really good, I've already worn both and love them. The tanner on the other hand I'm not a fan of. It left no colour what so ever on my legs, and I'm pale. It's not like I'm a big tanner either. I don't really do the whole fake tan thing unless I'm going on holiday, and even then I use a gradual tanning moisturiser, rather than fake tan. If it had left a bit of colour I would of been happy, but nope, nothing. It's a shame really, because I love the other two products and think they work really well. The eye pencil goes on smoothly and stays all day without running or smudging and the nails varnish gives a good coverage with only 2 coats and is a really nice summery colour.

Tropical Island-17 Lasting Fix

You can't really tell from the picture, but there are tiny specs of gold glitter through the nail varnish. It doesn't give it a sheen but just gives it a nice sparkle when it catches the light.

Outfits from my Phone

The last two days I've only had a chance to grab a quick outfit picture with my phone. It means there slightly less detailed, and the colours off, but I can blog them on the bus to work! (I'm so sad that I find that cool. I have no idea what this post will look like either because there's no preview button on the blogger app)

Dinner out

Friday I had work and then went out for dinner in the evening, that meant two outfits. (well it actually meant trying on about 20 different things until I was happy because the weather had gone back to being rubbish, meaning the max dress I'd planned to wear wasn't going to work.)

I forgot to take any pictures of my work outfit, but as it was just jeans, a T-shirt and a cardi its not really that much of a loss. For my dinner outfit I finally settled on jeans, a nice top and a jacket. (Please excuse the terrible quality of this photo, it was taken in a rush)

Top: New Look
Jacket: H&M (Via eBay)
Jeans: Topshop
Shoes: Primark
