A BIT OF A BIRTHDAY HAUL

Well I made a bunch of you jealous,  by telling you that the boyfriend took me on a shopping spree for my birthday last week, and since that jealousy totally fuels my power cells, I though I would try and get a bit more by showing you what he bought me.

To be honest, I was pretty disappointed in what the stores had to offer, that could be because it is mid-season and they are trying to get rid of their crap before the new season starts. But, I did get some little gems and the boyfriend was very patient as I dragged him around...

First up is this little jersey skater dress from H&M - I have never been a lover of pink, but I do love the over-sized floral print and deep back. Now I just need some sun to wear it in, oh wait here's some...and it's gone!

Next up was Primark, people may not like the whole disposable fashion thing, and that's fine, but my wardrobe would be very empty without it as I don't have a designer budget. Primark is great to pick up those few pieces to boost up your summer wardrobe and this floral shift (which you can see I have already featured here) and a couple of great tops, I particularly love the sporty chiffon number. I was also delighted with my Rolling Stones pajamas, which you can see on my Instagram feed.

The finally clothing store I had success in was Dorothy Perkins as their sale was on and I can't resist a good rummage and found this lovely smock dress for just £7 in the sale. And don't forget I also got a clutch bag and necklace (not from the sale) that I am giving away, just follow the link to the competition.

No birthday would be complete without some books to read over the summer and I have been excited about these 3 for a while, particularly the sequel to The Shining, Dr Sleep. I will be sure to let you know what I think of them when I have read any of them...you can get some really good deals in WH Smith right now, including half price bestsellers.


Finally, I managed to get the lovely bf to buy me a lip scrub from Lush, I had been wanting one for ages and the fact that he thinks they are totally bogus, it was made all the sweeter. The bubblegum one smells divine and I cannot wait to try it...expect a review soon.

Am I lucky or what? What guys have you been buying, or wanting to buy recently?

  1. Youuuuuu!!! I'm so jelly right now you can put my jelly on a piece of toast! :D I love the mint top, it's so girly! The hell with designer clothes. That's another way of saying "overpriced shit". I prefer cheap crap, sometimes maybe a really good quality item for more bucks, but most of the time I love crap :D

  6. I don't think I have enough patience for Primark, you always find such lovely pieces - that red & blue dress is awesome and looks much more expensive!

  8. Hehe there'll be a green smog settling soon, us girls will be glowing green with envy ;-)

    Seriously though, what a top guy! Love that you had such a brilliant time on your birthday and bought such lovely things. The H&M dress has such a vintage feel yet somehow manages to be bang on trend at the same time.
    Am hearing so many good things about Lush right now, the bubblegum lip scrub sounds scrumptious! <3

    Right now I'm buying (too) many pairs of sunglasses and looking for a fedora! :)
