Collective Haul

Hello,
 
I was recently staying at my grandparents house for a few nights and I went shopping so I thought I'd share my purchases with you. I first went to Camden Market in London, I love the market there. Then I went quickly to Primark and there are also some bits from Poundland and odd little things from a couple of shops and also things that were kindly given to me.
 

So there it is... Everything I bought :)
 
So, as I mentioned, I first went to Camden Market. I didn't really buy much in Camden but what I did pick up I love.

I am sorry as I seem to have not taken separate pictures of each of these items but I will describe them here. I first got a cushion cover, which is the purple thing at the bottom. I got this for £1.99 in a little shop there in the market and I thought it was beautiful and will go in my room well. In the same shop I got the 2 bracelets on the left, for 49p each, which I thought was a major bargain! Then I picked up this handmade floral head garland, they were 2 for £5 and I bought one and my cousin the other, so they were £2.50, but only £3 if you buy one. I am afraid there isn't a brand for the cushion and bracelets as ,as far as I know, these are only available at this stall and are one off type pieces, however the garland is from a brand called Poppy Daisy and although the site is undergoing maintenance at the moment, they will soon be available here.
 
 
 
I also picked up this floral shirt in Camden at a little stall for £5, which I am very pleased with :). I have never heard of the brand of this shirt, but the tag says 'Frankenwalder'.
 
Next on to Primark. I am quite impressed with myself for buying only this small amount in Primark as I am generally drawn in buy the deals and end up buying a lot, however I did put a lot of things down at the till, which I do slightly regret now but I like all the things I did get.



 
I'll do the boring thing first, I Got this pack of scrunchies as I really like how they look with ponytails or buns in my hair and they were £1 for 3!
 
Also for only £1 I got this backcombing brush, I had wanted one so of course when I saw one as cheap as this I was really happy, and it also has a nice little parting splitter thing on the end which is handy.
 
Next I got this Lip Stain for £1.50, I have wanted to try a lip stain also and I wasn't previously aware that Primark's brand Opia did one, but I'm excited to try this. It is available in this dark pink, a lighter pink and also a bright red colour.
 
I then got this beautiful flower hairband to go over a bun. It was also £1.50 and I just LOVE it!
 
Lastly I did get a pack of amazing glittery foam stickers for £1.50 however they were for my little sister so I wasn't able to photograph them.
 
I got this Natural Collection Loose Powder from Boots in the colour Transparent. It was only £1.99 and I have used it before and find it more successful than using some pressed powders that I have tried.
 
 
We had a quick walk around Dunelm Mill and, although I could've bought so many exciting things, I decided to be practical and get this organiser. It was reduced from £4.99 to £1.24 and I am going to use it to store my many shoes, which I leave around my house regularly.
 
 
Another hair accessory now! This is from New Look and was also reduced, from £6.99 to £2 and its a lovely little floral stretchy headband.
 
Now for Poundland. I know that some people may find it cheap or weird to buy things from Poundland but I find it amazing that you can pick up such bargains there!
 
 
 
 
I felt last week like I might start to apply some of my makeup with sponges occasionally and when I saw that I could pick up 25 for £1 I thought they'd be perfect!
 
 
Unfortunately last week saw the end of my loved travel eyelash curlers, which I preferred to normal ones so I picked up these cute Hello Kitty ones as a replacement.
 
 
Next I saw this lipstick crayon from the brand Chit Chat, which is Poundland's own brand, I have wanted to try a lipstick in a crayon form and I really like this coral colour, and I want to pick up the nude and pink colours that were also available.
 
 
This was the last thing I picked up in Poundland and I'm SO pleased with it! This used to be my favourite mascara, even when it was called 'Skyscraper' however when Collection 2000 changed to just Collection, they seemed to scrap this product. So when I saw this in there I was over the moon!
 
It's lovely because the brush is so fine so it gets all of your lashes and the other side is used to separate the lashes if they become clumped.
 
Lastly onto things I was kindly given by my lovely grandparents.
 
 
 
I got this oversized grey t-shirt as it was unworn and I love oversized clothes and it is from M&S.
On the t-shirt are these wax pictures which my Grandma made at a class and I think they are beautiful as so relaxing to look at...
 
 
 
I also received this sample sized Clinique Up-Lighting highlighter, it is only slightly shimmery which I am really liking about it and its great for use on the tops of my cheeks.
 
 
They then gave me these little cards to make with my little sister, each card makes a dinosaur model and I know this is really random but I just thought they were really cool.
 
 
This is a little compact fan from my Grandma with a beautiful painting of birds and flowers on it.
 
 
Finally these 4 lipsticks. I really love each of these.
 
 
Estee Lauder All Day Frosted Apricot 39 - This is a lovely bright coral orange/pink colour
 
 
Colorsport Lipstains Gold - Tropic 11 This is a lovely nude colour
 
 
Clinique Long Last Lipstick - Creamy Nude - Again a Beautiful Nude but with more pink undertones
 
 
Clinique Long Last Lipstick - All Heart - a lovely deep but fairly natural pink colour

My Fashion Wishlist

Hello :)

Today I am going to be sharing my current fashion wishlist.

 
 1) New Look - White Polly Floral Crepe Cami - £12.99 (Available here)
I really like the cami style in general - this is not the only one I like but I thought that showing a pretty patterned one would be nicer than a plain one.

2) Amazon - Motel Carly Shirt in Fiji Print - £14.98 (Available here)
I am getting into brightly patterned shirts - I just think they are a lovely summery statement piece suitable for any weather or occasion.

3) New Look - Watermelon Floral Textures Shell Top - £16.99 (Available here)
Shell tops are really pretty and compliment my figure well (I think?!) and I also like this textured effect.

4) New Look - Navy Tie Waist Lightweight Parka - £17.99 (Available here)
I am aware that it is (supposedly) summer, but I really like this parka for any rainy days, it looks nice with anything and wont give too much heat.

5) Amazon - Turquoise Chiffon Open Front Blazer - £5.63 (Available here)
I have wanted a brightly coloured summery blazer for a while now, I think they just brighten and enhance any outfit (depending on colour obviously!) and I couldn't find one for less than around £30 which is a bit steep for my budget, so I'm really happy I've found this one

6) River Island - Coral Bird Print Cropped T shirt - £7 (In Sale - From £15) (Available here)
I love little crop tops that are like this, not too tight or too short, but still look lovely with something high waisted, and I also love the cue little pattern on this one.

7) Misguided - Florence Value Knot Tunic in White - £6.99 (Available here)
I like the Cut out style and I also like that this dress is tunic style so wont be too tight, and perfect for the beach. It's available in some other lovely colours too but I chose white because I think that white outfits - particularly dresses - look very summery.

8) Topshop - MOTO Acid Wash High Waist Hotpants - £28 (Available here)
I think acid wash is a nice denim technique and high waisted shorts are a summer essential so these are perfect.

What is on your Fashion Wishlist?

In also thinking that I might do a Beauty/ shoes/ accessories wishlist in the near future, what do you think?
