Spring Haul☀🐤


Yay it's finally easter half term! Me and Abbie have been a little bit lazy on the blogging but thats only due to our exams coming up we have finally found some free time today to upload some posts and we are sorry about that we just have revision as when we get back after 2 weeks off we are straight into exam time! Anyway I wanted to do a spring haul on what I brought from Primark, Topshop and Forever 21 it's not much but I loved the things I brought and I thought they were lovely! I did nearly end up buying a £90 coat from Zara but I only had £50 so I got out of that one quick but I think it might be a cheeky purchase very soon......




Primark:
So the Primark I went to was the section in Selfridges which is good because It's all organised which is good and I found some lovely stuff. The first thing i brought was this lovely pink gingham fabric blazer with pink polka dots with a white background on the inside it's such a nice colour and it goes with a lot of things in my opinion which is good it also went with my JuJu Jellies and my white Leigh jeans from Topshop. The blazer was on £19 which is good as in Topshop and Zara they are more expensive.
White Jeans and Pink JuJu Jellies
Pattern on inside and outside
The last thing I brought from Primark was just a pastel yellow blouse which has tiny little detailed daises on the collar area and it was only £10 and I thought I would be able to wear it to my Grandmars on easter sunday with some nice jeans or something however the only little problem with it is that its a very baggy size 6 top and Im not a big fan of oversized clothing just as it makes me feel a little chubby but hey it was nice and I wanted it!

Forever 21:
I only got a few stuff out of Forever 21 I managed to find some lovely bralettes one lacy and one a crochet one both baby pink and they are lovely and I managed to find a cream top with lace detail on which has a drop down back which allows you to put a bralette underneath and for you still to be able to see it and I have fell in love with these 3 pieces of clothing and they will defiantly be going on holiday with me! 
£7.25
£5.65
£8.25
£8.25
Also from Forever 21 when I was in the que I spotted these fantastic sun glasses which I have been looking for the perfect pair and also found a cute little pink floral hair brush which Is the cutest thing ever even though it will not go through my hair as its curly but hey I brought it to just put in my bag just incase of an emergency.

£4.90

£3.15
Topshop:
Next is Topshop I didn't buy much as Topshop seem to have run out of size 6 in everything:( which is sad even online they have no size 6's in things I want so I just had a little look around and found a crop top for the summer some small hoop earrings and some cute little midi rings! The crop top I brought is a lovely coral colour and I'm sure its going to look lovely in the summer with a tan I also brought it as I can wear it with my Topshop Joni jeans and it won't show much skin which is always good we don't want to be showing too much off! The hoops I brought are just small gold hoops and the 2 midi rings I brought are just delicate with a small clear diamond.
The picture makes this top look horrible but i swear its nice on!






And thats all from me:) I hope you like it me and Abbie will be doing posts when we have free time or a break from revision but after may and the first and second week of June are over we will be back doing posts nearly everyday.... Okay that was a bit dramatic but there will be more when we finish our exams.

Hair Accessories...

Hair Bows...




I love to wear hair bows all year round (thanks to MacBarbie07 CHANNEL) but especially in summer when the bright and pastel clothes come out to match. Here is my collection and 3 ideas of how you can wear them. Also I'm sorry for not knowing where I brought some of them from. 



Lets start with the biggest one. This bright pink bow is really quite big (as you will see at the end) and was just £1!! It was from a cheap shop in the Walsall shopping center called Impulse. I had it as part of a costume for my dance show last week but have worn it a few times since because its such a nice bright, summery shade of pink.

Clips
Bobbles
These 2 lots of bows are ones which I bought when 1 went on holiday at the beginning of June to Spain. The top ones were from a 'Chinese shop' which was opposite our hotel and were about €1.25 for a pack of 2. Theses ones are really pretty pastel colours and the blue ones match our school uniform really well so i use them for school almost every day. They are also on really good clips that stay put all day. The bottom ones were also from a 'Chinese shop' called Super Euro and were €1 each. They are on bobbles so I use them to make a pony tail look more like you've tried with it and look really good in front of a bun too. We dont seem to get bows on bobbles in England from what I'v seen when iv looked so I wish is gotten some more while I was there.

These were the first pack of bows I owned and were brought for me a few years ago. I don't know how much they are but for some reason I have a feeling they are from George at ASDA? These are on grips and don't stay in my hair very well and move around quite a lot but they are really nice colours and designs. The red one is also a nice one for the Christmas period.


I love theses bows. They are such a nice girly colour and are perfect for summer. They were about £3 from New Look I think? I had these to wear for a wedding reception because they matched the pattern on my dress perfectly! (Dress is the background on THIS post). They are only small so also look nice on holiday around the pool.


My mom bought me these just a few weeks ago from Peacocks. They are good for the money because they were just £2.50 for all 3. The patterns are pretty and are just the right size but the clip isn't very strong so don't feel secure and I feel I keep needing to check they haven't moved but they usually have. 

How to wear...

Here are 3 simple ways that I like to wear bows.

Doughnut bun 

2 front pieces pulled back
Finish a Fishtail Braid
