Lifestyle | USA California Haul!!



This is a major exciting post to write, I have been back a few weeks now and have been suffering with major holiday blues! So what a perfect time to share the love with all the amazing things I was lucky enough to pick up whilst I was over there.

I don't know about you, but personally I am mega nosey and love looking at what people but have brought.. especially from America what with it being my favourite place in the world AND having such a great beauty culture!

Be warned this post is *PHOTO HEAVY* 

My favourite American treats


Hershey's Kisses my absolute fav american chocolates & presents for the work gang

Back to school in America & presents for my little cousins 

They have amazing cards, I picked this up for a friends up coming birthday

I haven't brought ears since I was 7 so these were long over due!!

Back to school for myself, could not resist these glittery note books & neon flash cards

Anaheim shot glass for the holiday collection

One of my all time favourite things about America.. TOILET SEAT COVERSSS


The most amazing valentino dupes!! See post about there here

Mac haul = girl heaven separate post coming soon

Ulta haul & new favourite store! Separate post coming soon

99c crazy coloured socks 


My love of Nikes could not bare to be in the states without picking up some newbies

If you follow me on twitter or instagram you may know that I have recently moved house, both my front
and back door keys are identical so I wanted something to differentiate them.. this was perfect! 

My nephew got me this when he went to Lego Land LA

I went to LA aged 11 and got a tinkerbell keyring just like this, she now has no wings,
no arms and her face has rubbed off so I got this as a replacement for her

Christmas Tree decoration, a disneyland tradition of mine

Facts on disneyland - Very interesting if your obsessed with Disney

Abercrombie & Fitch kids Jeans for $20 = £12 amazing quality jeans!!
Goodbye Topshop Leighs
White Girl wasted Beer Pong set
Aldo tan hand bag - This reminded me of the Chloè lock bags

Last & definitely not least I got a mac book pro!! Feels so good to have a laptop again after months of iphone posts

Lifestyle | Haul | home, holiday & random bits

Who doesn't love a haul?

It is safe to say that I should not be allowed into town unsupervised. I used to not really get on with shopping and spent most of my time online shopping instead. I then realised I just don't like shopping with other people. 

Shopping by yourself means that you can go at your own speed and look in the shops you want to and go back an forth all day.. As great as it is for me shopping alone my bank account is not as appreciative! 

I initially popped into town for cushions and toiletries and came back with two dead arms and an unmanagable amount of stuff. 


I did manage to get the cushions so that's one thing! 2 for £7 in primark and they were exactly what I was after to dress up my bed a bit. I have recently moved which you may be aware of if you follow me on twitter (@passion0527) so the house was still looking a bit bare! 


I also picked up these cool fridge magnet photo frames for £1 in home bargains, a candle from primark £2 I love these candles and buy them repeatedly! I also got some maskin tape from a stationary store for £3 to attach some fairy lights to the ceiling above my bed. 


This was £1 in primark so I just couldn't leave it there! 


The last 'home' item was these slippers, £2 in primark and they are so fluffy and comfy! I now have laminate flooring in my hallway and kitchen so I didn't want cold feet in the mornings. 


On to the holiday buys - the real reason for my shopping trip. I've been preparing to go on holiday for months now and as the count down is getting closer i new it was time to start picking up all my holiday toiletries. How cute is that miniature Nivea I got for my hand luggage for 65p!! 

More holiday buys.. 


A big beach towel is a must for going on holiday, I had been meaning to pick up the leopard print one in primark for ages and kept forgetting, when I finally went to pick it up they were all sold out :( luckily there was 1 zebra print one left so I got that as a consolation prize. 


I haven't worn foam flip flops in years (other than the ones I have been handed by the street angels on a night out when I can no longer handle my heels) so I thought these might be a welcome addition for quick trips to the pool. 


This was a shitter to photograph so I gave up trying. It's a lace playsuit cover up, again perfect for quick trips to the pool. I originally picked it up in white but they didn't have my size & I thought black probably went better with my bikini collection anyway. 


Now for the completely radom buys, I am a compulsive underwear buyer and thoroughly believe I'll have to build an extension in the near future to hold it all! It's something I pick up on impulse more often than not. 


It's my brothers birthday coming up and instead of cold hard cash I opted for dollars so he can spend them on holiday. Also chocolate,  everyone likes chocolate for their birthday right! 


I have a small tattoo on one of my knuckles so I always were costume rings to cover it whilst at work, primark jewellery is cheap and good enough quality to do the job so I'm always on a look out at their jewellery and couldn't resist these little bits coming to a total of £6!


Red hair can be a mare to keep up so hair dye is a frequent buy for me. 


This is a strange thing to put in a haul but I thought I may as well include it. I have been doing slim fast this last week and found myself in town later than expected absolutely starving so picked these up just to keep my stomach at bay until I got home! 


Last but definitely not least. Elmo pjs and nemo socks!! These are the sort of things you see and just can't imagine your life without them. I am such a big kid at heart.

Lifestyle | Primark haul


For those of you who follow me on twitter or Instagram (@passion0527) you may have seen that I had an issue with a primark bag this week. Torrential rain + paper bag = disaster! 


I popped in store after work with the intention of having a small browse of the work section but £27 later I left rather happy.. Untill I saw the rain that is! 

Here's what I bought:

Grey fitted blazer great for work and a bargain at only £12 make sure you subscribe so not to miss this featured in my work saga mini series!

Next up were these gorgeous shoes! They had plenty of plain black and plain cream ones but they didn't really jump out at me.. But then amongst them all I spotted these! They were the only pair left and they were my size, it was meant to be! These cost just £6.


Very random purchase in these 2tail combs.. I've been without a tail comb for so long and I don't know how I have survived, yet I always forget to pick one up! I saw this pack of 2 for £1 and they went straight into the basket!


The sweets always get me in the que, I'd been in town shopping for Father's Day presents and saw these and thought they'd go nicely with his present, he loves sweets! These were £1. 


As some of you may already be aware, I have a small tattoo on my right hand ring finger, I absolutely love it but I know it's not the most professional for work so I tend to always cover it with a costume ring. Primark is great for these as they are so cheap! I picked up these 2 for a combined price of £2.50 which I was happy with. 


How do I rotate this please? Nightmare! I have had the bigger notebook since Christmas and I just love the pink glitter, I use this one for work. Then I spotted this little one and thought it would be perfect for blog post ideas! It was just £1.50 which was great! 


I also brought a 3 pack of tights for £3 but I appear to have forgotten to photograph those!

I am very pleased with my shop and think I got a few bargains in there! Has anyone else been to primark lately?
