Mini Haul

Hello my little lushies,

Yes... One big fat major uh-oh.

I was doing so well trying to keep the last of my money in my bank behind to pay off some more of my girls holiday to Malia in the summer but then... I went to Topshop and Tesco's. If any of you are like me then you won't be able to walk in to either of the stores without buying at least one thing. Although it was probably a good thing I was near enough skint or A LOT more money would have been spent and this teeny tiny haul wouldn't be as teeny tiny. 

I shall post some OOTD's using these items soon and I'll be reviewing all of the products once I've had time to test them all out so I won't say too much about them now. Just give you a sneak peak, so watch this space!

Clothing

I could not believe it when I seen these 'block check' leggings for only £25, (£22.50 with my student discount). I'd seen some Cigarette style trousers very similar in Tosphop that I'd had my eye on for a while but I just couldn't justify spending approximatly £45 for them knowing I'd only have them on a few times, so these seemed like the perfect alternative. They'll be perfect for a night out on the town or dressed down with a pair of converse to wear to college.

Secondly I bought some 'Disco Treggings' , the cheaper Topshop alternative to American Apparel Disco Pants, £30. I don't think anything will match completely to the American Apparel originals but these are the closest I've seen. To look at I thought I'd need a bigger size than normal but after taking a size 12 to the changing rooms and wondering back out twice to get a 10 and then an 8 I realised they do fit the same as normal bottoms from there. They just keep you sucked in a bit more once you've got them on.

Make-up

After Topshop I then took a little wonder in to Tesco. I don't normally look at their makeup section as I tend to get my Make-up from Boots or Superdrug generally but their 2 for 1 Rimmel offer caught my eye and I ended up leaving with 2 foundations plus a lipstick. I'm a bit of a pain when it comes to foundation even  if I find an amazing one that I love after a few months I like to try something else to see what other products are on the market that I like. I'm yet to try any of the products but I'm eager to try them and post some reviews for you all.

Any-one got any recommendations on which one I should try first?

Weekend Post

Before I start I'd just like to say I'm ashamed of the horrible photos I've rushed to show my weekend outfits. I was having so much fun I completely forgot to take photos of the outfits I was wearing, sorry!

Friday: 

This year is the year that most of my friends will be turning 18 so from now until September staying in and saving money is going to be rather difficult because of the amount of partying and celebrating that just NEEDS to be done. 

My Friday night began with a nice meal to Aqua for a late Valentines meal. If any of you readers are from the Bristol or Bath area you MUST go if you haven't already, the food they offer is simply just amazing. They also currently have a 2 for 1 voucher on voucher cloud at the moment (even more reason to go) but sadly I was unable to use this due to the time I went.

Outfit choice

I'm sure you've seen the monochrome trend popping up everywhere recently but hopefully like me you're not fed up of it just yet. I seen this Polka dot crop top in Topshop and just had to buy it. As a big lover of black and white anyway this trend is right up my street. I paired the crop top with a black skater skirt (as pictured), tights, a red belt, red Tiffany necklace, bowler hat, my leather jacket and Chealsea boots.

Topshop bowler hat £25

Eee, Sorry about the classy changing room pic!

After the meal it was time to hit a local bar for my friends 18th birthday. I whipped off the tights and Chelsea boots and whacked on a pair of wedges to get me in the party mood. 

Saturday night

Saturday night called for a few too many drinks with my friends to carry on the birthday celebrations. The dress I wore caught my eye as soon as I seen it in the store and without even trying it on I had to buy it. It wasn't something I normally go for to be honest as I'm more of a plain jane when it comes to going out; a simple black outfit jazzed up with some accessories and a bright clutch but I loved it and it was nice to have a change.

Black open toe heels - £25, Chockersshoes
Red oversized clutch bag - £8, Primark

Such a cute flowery print don't you think?

I'd love to know what you got up to on the weekend and what your favourite trends are right now!
