A few new purchases

Hello lovelies!

So yesterday me, my mum and her boyfriend went to the Trafford Centre in Manchester. I didn't buy a lot as  if you have seen my previous post then you will see that I bought quite a lot then and plus I'm not exactly rich.

Excited purchases I know. 

Books:

'The Fault in Our Stars' and The Perks of Being a Wallflower'

I've been after these two books for a while now and I'm so happy that there was a buy one get one half price deal in Waterstones. I was going to look for 'A wreck this journal', but then I realised that I can't draw very well. I'm so happy with these books though!

Socks

 I went into Topshop, as I wanted some frilly socks, but I was pleasantly surprised when they had a 'buy three for £8' deal, so I got two frilly pairs and one pair with parrots on. Don't ask why I got ones with parrots on, I couldn't decide on a third pair, so I went for the parrots. The other two pairs have frills around the top, but one pair is pink and the other is grey.

Eyelash Curlers

I wasn't going to buy these, but I had been telling my mum about how I wanted some eyelash curlers because my eyelashes are ridiculous, they are tiny and do not curl at all, so when my mum saw these we decided to get them, as they were only £5. The handles are neon pink which I think is really pretty and it says Topshop on one of the handles. 

Food

Nerds and Hershey's chocolate

I have never tried nerds before, but everyone seems to rave about how nice they are, so I decided to try some. I got grape and strawberry. I can't really taste the strawberry very well, but the grape ones are delicious and really strong. I don't think I'll buy these again though, as I'm not too fond of them. Hershey's chocolate is my fave! When I went America a couple of years back I bought a packet of the dark chocolate kisses and they were delicious, so when I found a row of Hershey's chocolate bar I had to pick a dark chocolate one up!

Bag

This was £40 from River Island. I've been after a new bag now for months and months because the strap to mine broke... literally. I was walking to school with my friend and the handle literally snapped and my bag fell to the floor.... it wasn't embarrassing at all, but up until I bought this one I've just had my old bag with the handle tied on. The bag is quite big with either two handles to carry it on your arm or over your shoulder. Inside there is no separate pockets just the one space. There is a zip at the top, but there is also them magnetic buttons that cover the zip up. On the front is a small zip pocket. The bag also have some stud detailing.

Alton Towers and OOTD!

Hello lovelies! I would just like to apologize for the lack in posts at the minute, as I have lost my SD card for my camera so I haven't been able to take any pictures, I have a blog post lined up, I just need the SD card the camera.

Now that, that's out of the way let's talk about today, so today I have been to Alton Towers! I go Alton Towers quite a lot, as I live quite close with it being an half an hour drive and I normally have an annual pass which means that I can get in for free. This trip however was the first one of the year and for my friends birthday.

I assume a lot of you who are from Britain have heard of the new ride that's called The Smiler, that was supposed to be open sometime last week... well it isn't open yet and we were really looking forward to going on it, so that was a let down, however when I first got to the park I got a text from my brother asking if I was Alton Towers and when I replied saying yes he started saying that he was as well, but he was working on The Smiler, as he is a painter and decorator and the railings needed painting, so I spent a lot of the day texting my brother and then I went to see him which was lovely.

The only downside about today would be the weather. It has not stopped raining all day, in fact as I write this post it is still raining which is a bummer. We still managed to go on all of the rides that we wanted to though and we even managed to get on nemesis three times! 

OOTD - (Sorry for bad quality pictures)

As it started raining pretty much as soon as I left the house I had to keep my coat zipped up, as I realized that if my top got wet then I would of gone a little bit see through which it already is slightly. I also wore a pink jacket underneath the coat just for another layer, as I knew that if I didn't wear something under the coat then I would get soaked and be freezing because the t-shirt and the coat isn't enough to keep warm, as when you;re going to a theme park you don't dress to look good you dress for the weather (Well, I do anyway haha) I kept everything else simple with black leggings, grey socks with small frills and black converse.

Coat - Primark 

Jacket - New Look 

T-shirt - River Island 

Leggings - New Look

Frilly socks - Primark 

Converse - Republic 

Guess who's been shopping?!

This morning I had to get up at stupid o'clock (but that's another story) to go shopping. When I say stupid o'clock I got woken up at 6, yes in the morning. We left the house at 9 and got into town at about quarter past. The first purchase was from Dorothy Perkins.

This is for my prom which is next month, it's just the right size as it's not massive, but it isn't tiny and it matches my shoes, haha! It's a envelope clutch that also has a chain, so it can be put on a shoulder which is a plus as the chain tucks neatly into the bag, but if you fed up of carrying you can just whip the chain out and put it on your shoulder, haha! It costs £20, but I got it for £16.00 and I have no idea why, we had no discount or anything, but got £4, but I'm not complaining. If you want to check this out you can here!

New Look

I've been after something like this for a while now and I did see this exact thing Miss Selfridge, but it cost £14 so when I found the same product in New Look for £6.99 it was a bargain! It's cheap and cheerful and exactly what I was looking for so I'm in that stage at the moment when you have something new and love it. I can't seem to find this on the website in Gold, but I can find it in Pink Gold and Silver, so if you still want a look, you can here!

Topshop

This lipstick just looks so cute! It's such a nice colour spring, as it isn't that bright, but is bright enough if you get what I mean, I haven't tried this on at all which I probably should have done, so I could have a bit more to talk about, but I didn't so you will just have to look at the looks as the packaging is also really cute, Topshop definitely have the best packaging for make up. If you want to check this out, you can here!

This is also for prom. It matches well with the bag and other accessories that I have bought for prom, it's small and quite simple and I think it will look good with my dress. It isn't over powering and it's just small and simple, but yet quite elegant. This costs £12.50 which I think is expensive, but I think everything in Topshop is expensive.

Evans

I hope you can see that alright. This is also another thing for prom. As you can see it has some silver crystal things and isn't anything to over the top, it's just simple and silver exactly what I was looking for. It cost £7.50 which I think is quite expensive. Either everything is expensive or I'm just really tight with money,haha.

Primark

This dress was to cute to leave behind. As you can see it's a light blue colour with small poka dots, also on the pockets at the top are bows. The buttons are wooden and I've just noticed that one of them on mine has broken in half, so I might take it back, you can't tell, but it's still broken, boo! This only cost £10 which is reasonable, this dress will look good in summer or in the warmer days of spring.

The only reason I bought these is for sleeping. These will be really good for when it gets warmer at night and just good for sleeping in. They cost £3 so that's really good as £6 for two pairs of shorts is a bargain! I don't really have a lot to say about these as nothing exciting will be happening whilst wearing these, only sleeping, haha!

I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it. The picture doesn't do it a lot of justice, but it's fab. I feel like this would be perfect for any festivals or going to a theme park. In fact it would be good for most things, but if the rain is shocking then I don't think that this is appropriate for that.

River Island

As soon as I saw this on the website I loved it, it's literally my perfect t-shirt. It's oversized, it's long, it has a cute design and it has turned up sleeves if that's the appropriate word, but 30% of the money goes towards breast cancer which makes it even more perfect. It costs £15 which I don't think is that bad, but seriously, I'm in love with this, you have no idea!

USC

 Notice I saved these beauties for last... so everyone that got bored and left halfway through, ha look what you're missing out on!:p Anyway, I may have mentioned that prom is next month and these will be the shoes that I will be wearing for prom, but they are beautiful! The heel is about 5 and a half inches and they cost £12, £12 THAT IS A BARGAIN!  They were supposed to be £30, but then they were in the sale for £15 and then when we paid for them they were £12! These are now the love of my life... I need to get out more...
