Collective Haul July 2014

Hey everyone, its Karina!

As mentioned in my previous post I have been doing a lot of shopping recently. So today I'm going to talk to you about the things I have bought. These were all purchased on lots of different shopping trips, not just one! All of these items vary from fashion to beauty to home, all from different shops like, New Look, Savers, Primark and more.

Firstly my favorite shop, Primark.
As I'm going to uni, I'm looking for homely bits and bobs to put in my room. I saw this cushion and instantly fell in love because it has the Eiffel Tower on it, and in case you didn't know I have an obsession with the Eiffel Tower and own many things with it on! Its very soft and comfy, I love the colours it's very girly, and the pattern is on both sides of the cushion which I like.

£4 - Primark

Another item of clothing I got is a top, but its like a beach kind of top because the back it cut open, it has a slit all the way down the middle at the back, this is good because you can just throw it over your bikini. Or if you wanted it just during the day you can wear a vest top or bandeau. I have been pairing it with a blue bandeau that matches very well (also from Primark, that I bought ages ago!). 

£6 - PrimarkSize - UK8

I own quite a few Primark vest tops, in lots of different patterns and colours. I saw this one and really liked it, because it's simple and will go with everything.

£4 - Primark - Size UK10

As I went to a festival the other week I was looking for a flower crown/headband. I liked this one as it is plain and simply and I can wear it other places as well as festivals, and it was very cheap.

£2 - Primark

Now the finally thing from Primark is my favorite. I saw it on a model and loved it, so I bought it! It is a playsuit in an Aztec pattern in black, white, grey and pink. It is has sequins around the neck line which adds a bit of sparkle and dresses it up. I also like that it is halter neck, as its different. I love it.

£10 - Primark - Size UK8

Then in H&M I saw these amazing floral shorts. I tired them on and loved them (Although had to get a size bigger as H&M clothes come up small on me). I ended up wearing them to the festival the other week. I really love them, they are so summery and add a pop of colour to your outfit. I also went to another H&M in my town with my mum and ended up getting a few things, mainly dresses, but I'm not allowed them yet as mum is getting them for me for my birthday! (August 6th).

£12.99 - H&M- Size UK12

£1.89 - Savers

I've also been buying a few beauty things. I wanted to repurchase the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer from Superdrug but they were out of stock in my shade! But I did end up buying a few hair products from Savers (a cheaper version of Superdrug). I got the Batiste Dry Shampoo, in Tropical. VO5 Ultimate Hold Hairspray. VO5 Heat Protect Styling Spray. I haven't had a chance to use any of these enough to get a good idea on how they work yet, but when I do I'll let you know what they are like, but I think they are all meant to be great products.

£1.99 - Savers

And finally New Look. Like I said early I was looking for a flower crown/headband, I actually ended up getting 2, but they worked out to be cheap as I had student discount and a gift card! The first one is a pink floral crown which will go well with the H&M shorts. Its comfortable to wear and doesn't slip off, the back is elastic and the flower part is actually wired, so you can bend it into shape. And secondly I got a beaded elastic headband which is like a carnival type style. I love the colours and they go with my brown hair quite well. I'm unsure on this though as I don't think ill wear it much.

£3.99 - New Look

£2 - New Look

And finally I got a Kimono. I've wanted one for ages but never found one I liked. I really like this because its black so it will go with a lot of things and I love the flower detail and the colours.

£12.99 - New Look - Size UK8

I did also purchase a few bras from Marks & Spencer and Debenhams, but you don't really need to know anything about them, haha!

Well that's it for my haul today, thanks for reading I hope you enjoyed it. I was going to photograph myself wearing the items but decided not too, but for next time let me know if you would like me to do so. Also let me know what your favorite thing is that I've bought. And let me know if you bought anything recently?

LOVE
KARINA
