So after that rather serious opening, lets get back to the really important stuff...shopping. The web designer extraordinaire that is my boyfriend thought I deserved a little treat, so he put a few notes in my hand and told me to have a fun afternoon browsing around town.
Of course my first stop was Primark because I have been seriously crushing on their Summer collection, I don't care if ten other girls on the bus will be wearing the same thing, I just have to make sure I wear it with more attitude than anyone else - I'm talking Mick Jagger level attitude. I bought a couple of things, a gorgeous shift dress in a psychedelic neon print and a long-line casual vest in a lovely mint green.
Then I skipped on down to H&M, where ai found a great maxi skirt for just £5.99 - you can't really see it in the picture, but it is mostly sheer with a split on either side, very sexy. Now we just need some sun to I can blind you all with my pearly white legs - look directly at them at your own risk.
I'm a huge fan of painting my nails, it breaks up the long days staring at my computer going all fuzzy eyed at the letters swimming off the page, so when I saw that Superdrug had 3 for 2 on all Models Own, I had to pick up a few shades - Blueberry Muffin, Blue Glint one of their Beetlejuice shades. I have to say their Hyper Gel shades are amazing, they feel so smooth and are super shiny!
I have also been really lucky on Ebay and in charity shops recently so stay tuned for another haul post, it may be my last for a while after getting cleared out by bills - being a grown up sucks!
What have you guys been purchasing recently?

I didn't know you were back to blogging so this is great. I just read your previous post and I can relate to you so much. I am also very proud of you for coming through so much and continuing to make progress with mental illness. I still struggle a lot with depression and anxiety and I have tried pretty much everything and nothing makes it better. I feel very hopeless most of the time. I'd like to write about it on my blog more but I often don't know how to so I really respect you for writing about it. On another note I love what you purchased here, it all looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love the mint vest...loving the pastels x
