Nike Haul

So, due to me and my bloke-y deciding to take the plunge into joining the near by gym, for they're workout facilities, pool and jacuzzi, I thought what better time to treat myself to some cute workout gear!

I'll start off with the boring, but not so boring bits.

You would not believe how much love I have for these trainer socks, I've never had socks so soft and comfy, its like wrapping your feel into clouds, which you would expect for £9.00 per three pack!

You can find them here.

Next up are some sports essentials;

I do like this first plain white sports bra, I reckon it would look nice with a brightly coloured tank over the top, there are plenty of other bright colour options though, if you would prefer something a bit more shocking. 

Nike Pro Women's Sports Bra - £22.00

I'm sorry but how awesome is this second patterned one?! I mean, it is a little more pricey than the above sports bra, but look at it, just look at it..such a beautiful piece!

Nike Victory Compression Safari Women's Sports Bra - £30.00

Now, lets just admire these next few photographs just for a second...

 how incredible are these shoes? 

I wasn't too sure about which size to get, because from the reviews that I was scrolling through, a lot of people said how they'd needed to go up half a size where as some others, had said about needing to go up a full size from they're usual shoe size. I'm normally a three, so I decided to order a three and a half. To my delight, they turned out perfect, and they are sooo darn comfortable, I've never worn trainers like it, I actually think that this is my favourite purchase from the year so far, no word of a lie, I am such a fan now! In fact I have already decided that I'm going to need to get a black, grey or white pair for normal day-to-day wear honestly if you try these, you'll never go back!

What's more, if this isn't quite you're colour, there are 10 other pre-sets to choose from, or from the site for an extra £30.00, you can completely customise every inch of colouring to your hearts content, from the base colour to the overlay to the swoosh, all the way through to the tongue and lining!

Nike Free 5.0 Women's Running Shoe - £90.00      Dri-FIT Graphic Training Socks - £9.00

I hope that you enjoyed looking through my recent purchases, I know that I certainly did!

I have a couple future posts planned, but by all means, if you have any requests what so ever, please feel free to leave them in the comments below:)

Haul #2

The past couple of weeks I've been feeling as though I havent had a chance, what so ever to sit back to have some 'me' time, I've actually had quite a bit going on in my life, some good changes, which may possibly be something to write about in a future post but for now, let me show you what I treated myself to!

I absolutely love this tee that I ordered from Miss Selfridge, I can see it now, teamed with a pair of my favourite blue ripped jeans and some VANS shoes for a casual day time look, or perhaps tucked into a pencil skirt with heels for an evening out, perfect!

Monochrome Scratch Print Tee - £25.00

I've never ordered from Forever 21 before, and I never normally go for prints like this one, the main reason being, trying to find something to wear for my best friends birthday night out themed 1950's, when I saw this skort I thought that it would fit in quite nicely, I really do think that its something I could wear again if the mood were to take me.

Garden Goddess Pleated Skort - £12.75

All of my remaining items for this haul are from the amazing store which is Topshop.

This first dress (couldn't find the petite version on the site) I've been eyeing up since it first appeared both on the site and in store, I always would have loved it in the white, but for some reason they have only ever had the petite version of this dress in the grey, after what seems like months... I decided to give in, I just feel like this is a piece which could be paired with absolutely anything!

Strappy Cami Tunic Dress - £12.00

This dress would be perfect for a night out, paired with some black heels, a red clutch and a coating of red lippy, ohh yeaah! I cannot wait to get some use out of this one, I tried it on, and I love how the stripes make my body look that little bit curvier.

Petite Exclusive Stripe Bodycon Tunic - £28.00

As you can probably tell, right now I am loving the monochrome trend, you just cant go wrong with it! This is probably a strange reason to love an item on clothing, but I really like how the stripes on the pocket go in a completely different direction to the ones on the rest of the tee, and that neck line! I think its so sexy when you can show off a bit of shoulder whilst wearing a casual tee.

Stripe Raglan Tee - £16.00

What can I even say about this top? I love! Isn't that print just something else?! Its slightly cropped, so I can see this teamed with a pair of high waisted skinny jeans for a lovely day time look, yes, yes...I love jeans, you've got me! 

Abstract Floral Print Scallop Vest - £15.00

If you've been following my blog for a little while, you'd know that I have a bit of a thing for orange lippies, and this little number is no exception!

Topshop Lipstick in Ohh La La - £8.00

I hope that you enjoyed looking and reading through this post;

If you'd like to see what any of these items look like on, a review and swatches of the lippie, or if you have any requests for future posts which you'd like to see on this space, please do let me know in the comments below :) I'd be more than happy to sort that out!

Haul #1

Today I went into town with my mum, its not often that we get to do that sort of thing together, it really was lovely... I didn't plan on buying much at all however, I'm not going to lie, I did make a little damage on my bank account, anyway lets get into what I bought..

:-)

Batiste Dry Shampoo - £2.99 each

The first shop which we ventured into was Boots, where I picked up something which I always need a supply of in my hair care stash, whether it be the Batiste sort, Dove, or VO5, was dry shampoo, I picked up two, at £2.99 a pop, I go through this stuff like wild fire, I mean comon, who wants to wash they're hair every single day?!

Left- 312 ULTRA VIOLET Right- 244 GODDESS - £4.49 each

Rimmel Stay Matte Primer - £5.99

- Rimmel Natural Bronze - Normal price of £5.99
- Nails, Rimmel Salon Pro in Peppermint - £4.49

Next as I was browsing through all of the cosmetic stands, the Rimmel London one caught my eye, with a little sign saying that if you spent £9.00 or more, you could pick up one of there Natural Bronzers for absolutely free, well this was right up my street, as I knew that I was in need of a primer, and a bronzer, but thought that I'd also pick up a couple of nail polishes too whilst I was at it, purely because I thought the colours looked gorgeous! ...

On a side note I really do need to change my nail polish, sorry guys! 

Left- Maxfactor Glossy Topcoat - £5.99 Right- Barry M Polish in Lemon - £2.99

Its been a while since I've treated myself to a couple of nail polishes, so I thought why not get another, this colour from Barry M caught my eye, I've been wanting this sort of shade for the longest time! And as my previous topcoat was waaaay past its best before (went all thick, gloopy and well, unusable) I thought I'd give this Maxfactor one a shot.

Burts Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Petunia - £4.25

The last thing I picked up from Boots was this tinted lip balm, my lips seem to get so dry, chapped and just plain flaky this time of year, I literally live by the Burts Bees ones, they're so moisturising and soothing almost, seriously if you haven't tried one of these already, I highly recommend that you pick one up!

VANS Lo Pros - £47.99

The next store I found myself not being able to resist having a looksie inside was VANS, I do actually already have a navy pair of the Authentics I think they are, which I live in, I cant believe quite how comfortable they are, I got them last year, they are still going strong with pretty much daily use, so I just had to pick up another pair, this time I went for the Authentic Lo Pros, in a light grey colour, they look like they have a slight blue tinge in the photo above, but I promise you, they are all grey!

At this point I decided that I really should restrain my urge to spend loads more from different stores, and told myself that I could only purchase goods from one more, as my mum wanted to have a look in M&S anyway, I thought why not have a look in there too?

...Please excuse the mess which you may witness in the images below, Its all tidy now.. I promise! :-D

M&S Per Una jumper in Lavender - £35.00

I really liked that this jumper was a little different from any I'd seen before, with the gorgeous purple specks peaking through the grey material, its so comfortable, and has such a nice fit,  I can already tell that I'm going to get a lot of wear out of this piece.

.

M&S Per Una Jumper in Multi - £35.00

This next one, from the second I saw it hanging there on the rail, it gained a very special place in my heart, I'm in love with the colouring going through the knit, it definitely adds that little extra something to the jumper, the fit again is nice, its light weight so it will be nice for summer evenings, or even layered up in the colder months, I just love it!

Hope you enjoyed this post, laters
