Today is my first haul on my blog, I'm pretty sure I can call it a haul but I'm new to this blogging thing so I dont know haha :)
This is more of a collective haul of things I've purchased over a few weeks :)
On to the products...
So the first things I purchased were from Primark.
I picked up the natural look lashes and the polka dot nail wraps. I havn't tried either of these products but they caught my attention and I thought I would give them a try :)
Natural Look Lashes - £1
Polka Dot Nail Wraps - £1

Next I purchased from Primark some super cute sunglasses I have had my eye on for ages. I know a few people on instagram and youtube who have these and when I saw them I just had to pick them up. I got them in mint green and lilac (which is the only colours they currently sell).
Sunglasses - £1 ( I know right!! so cheap )
So I've pretty much been obsessed with buying sunglasses at the minute (especially circle ones) I really wanted some small ozzy osbourne styled sunglasses so I looked on ebay.
I found these and immediately bought them, they're exactly the style I wanted and I'm really happy with them.
Sunglasses - £2.99

From Primark I also purchased these neutral coloured flip flops with nude bows.
I desperately needed some more summer shoes so I thought Primark would be the perfect place because they're so affordable and have so many shoes to choose from!
Flip Flops - £2.50
Another item I needed for my holiday was a bikini so I bought one in Primark as well.
To be completely honest their range wasn't very good at all, there was a lot of triangle shaped bikinis, with gaudy patterns which wasn't my taste at all.
Then I saw this completely plain white bikini and fell in love, its so simplistic yet so pretty and white makes you look really tan (which I'm definitely not haha) I also got the plain bottoms to go with it but didn't really see any need to post a picture of that too :)
Bikini - £4
Next from h&m I purchased this absolutely gorgeous tropical patterned bikini.
I am especially in love with this because of the shape and style.
Its in many ways like a bra and gives good support and looks very flattering.
It has removable straps so you could wear it as a bandeau top by simply unclipping the straps. I absolutely love the colour and pattern of this bikini and can't wait to wear it!
I also got the bottoms to match but again didn't see the point in posting a picture :)
Bikini Top - £9.99
From topshop I purchased some vintage high waisted cut off levi shorts.
They are from the 'Loving Youth' range which I have never seen before, but I believe its just a lot of vintage, retro pieces. Unfortunately these shorts are quite big on me as the only size left was a 12 but I can easily make it work by adding a brown chunky belt.
It has the two pockets on the front and on the back, one pocket has a floral pattern which I absolutely love!
These shorts are very simple and that it what I wanted, some simple high waisted shorts that would go with anything! :)
Levi Shorts - £28
Something else I have recently bought is from the Cath Kidston shop.
To be honest I'm really not a fan of Cath Kidston products because in my opinion I feel like the items are very overpriced but are really pretty.
They currently have a 50-70% sale going on which I had to take advantage of.
Nothing really caught my eye that I desperately wanted until I saw this gadget case. It is a very pretty lilac blue with a strawberry pattern, which I find adorable.
This gadget case fits my phone absolutely perfectly which is what I intend on using it for. For my holiday I'm going to put my phone (the iPhone 4) and money in it and carry it on my wrist, it has a very convenient strap and also has a neck strap so you can wear it around your neck too.
I really recommend going to your local Cath Kidston shop and having a look at the products because you can get some really good deals!
Strawberry Patterned Gadget Case - £7
This should bring back a lot of nostalgia to many people because I know it did for me as I used to always wear jelly shoes when I was young.
This type of jelly shoe is called a 'Ju Ju' I have heard a lot about these types of jelly shoes and decided to invest in some myself.
They are definitely not everyones cup of tea but you will never know until you try! If you see them around I would say go for it and try it because you might end up loving it!
For where you can purchase these I had a look on the JuJu website but I couldn't seem to find anywhere you could buy them on the website.
I did a bit more research but nothing came up, I turned to instagram and asked if anyone knew where I could find these and someone replied telling me that Debenhams stock them and they're on sale!!
I was extremely excited and my mum went in the next day and picked up the last mint green JuJu's in my size! it was destiny that me and them were to be together.. :D
They're also extremely comfy and I plan on wearing them everyday on holiday woo wooo :)
I believe you can also find these in River Island and topshop in various colours :)
JuJu Jelly Shoes - £15 (sale price)
I am thoroughly enjoying blogging recently and I want to try to post something everyday this week just to test the waters of the blogging world.
If you have any questions about any of these products feel free to comment and if you want a review I will be more than happy too :)
