Primark Haul! Part 2 For Italy

So this is part 2 of my Primark Holiday Haul, if you haven't seen the first one, then here is the link..

http://www.ezzwilliams.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/primark-holiday-haul.html

I'll just throw out a disclaimer by saying, by no means am I bragging about what I have bought, Primark is a fairly cheap shop and I just thought I would let everyone know because Primark isn't available online. So by people like myself showing what we have bought, you get to know what type of items are available in the shop because you might spot something  you like. 

+ The primark haul part 1, proved to be one of my most popular posts! So I thought I would the second part.

I'm going to Italy in a few weeks, so I thought I would show you some of the items I have purchased to go on my holiday.

Most of the items I Bought are from Primark, but the bottom two are from Topshop.

 So the first two things I bought, were some plain leggings, a black pair and a dark grey pair. They were £3 each and I just love leggings. They are really comfortable, so you can wear them around the house if your having a lazy day, or you can wear them out, with a long top or something.

 So this purchase was a bit random! So these Pyjama shorts are purple with stars on, and have a shiny alien on them. They were an absolute bargain because they were in the sale. As they were only £1, I just couldn't leave them there. I didn't need them but a girl can never have enough pyjama shorts.

 Next I got this disney print, Mickey Mouse t-shirt. The sleeves are rolled up and it's a nice fit. Sometimes with Primark t-shirts, I find that they can be a bit tight, but this one is a good fit and quite long. It was £6 and I think I'll get a lot of wear out of it.

 This item of clothing was one of my favourite buys! It's a white, long, flowy and see-through vest with aztec print at the top. It was £10 and I think it's really cute. The back is slightly longer than the front. I like it because the neck is quite high and I can dress this up or down. Also, it goes really well with a denim or leather jacket. 
I also got a plain white vest top to go underneath it.

  

Next item is a bag. When i'm in Italy, we will be sightseeing so I don't want to take a big bag around with me, so I thought I would buy a small bag. It's a really nice beige/grey colour and it was only £4. I will be able to fit all the stuff I need into it, and I just think it will be really handy. 

I then thought that because I had bought a new smaller bag, that I should buy a new smaller purse because I am currently using a big purse and that a smaller purse would be handy.
This purse that was only £4, jumped out at me. It's a lovely shiny beige, and on the inside it is illuminous yellow! How amazing. I think it's lovely and summery and that I will definitely use it a lot.

 So finding these shorts was such a relief for me! I've been looking for denim shorts that aren't high waisted for ages! (As all my shorts are high waisted, apart from the sport or towel ones I own.) But I could never find ones that fitted me well and that I liked. 
When I saw these I was so happy. I like the detail on the pockets because it's not mega crazy like all the other pairs they had. They were £10 and I will probably live in them this summer.

 Lastly from Primark, I purchased a few little things. Boringly just some bobbles and socks.
Then I picked up some new sunglasses. You can't see it on the picture but it has little golden pyramids stuck to the top of the arms on the sunglasses which is a cool feature. I just love the shape of the glasses.
I also finally purchased some batiste dry shampoo because I know that a lot of people rave about it, but I've never tried it, so I thought that I would give it a go.

 I then quickly nipped into boots and purchased a little pot of Carmex lip balm.
I can't explain in words how amazing this is! It's the nicest and best lip balm ever, It even works better that Vaseline!
It's super cheap and you can buy it from a lot of places now. You can buy the tube version of this from Primark, and that's really good, but I prefer it in a tub.

 This gorgeous grey lace vest top is from Topshop. It's newly been released and you can buy it in grey, blue, cream or orange. I got it in grey for £16. I think it's my favourite holiday buy. At the front it's a vest with lace over it and the back it just see-through lace. It's just cute and gorgeous and perfect for summer. It looks great with denim shorts and I know that I will wear it a lot.

Last buy, this dress is also from Topshop. The picture makes it look a bit strange, but it is a tight but stretchy bodycon dress, with long sleeves. Dark blue with white spots. I had been looking for this type of dress for a while and last week I went shopping and I got this in the sale in Topshop, for only £15. I didn't want a plain one, because I think I suit clothes that have a bit of a pattern on them, so this was perfect. It fits me really well, and is perfect if you are going out at night, I wore it last weekend to go to my netball presentation night and it was perfect for it, but it would still be good for going to a meal or something.

Primark Holiday Haul! Part 1 For Portugal

So if you haven't guessed yet, this is my Primark Holiday Haul. So this is what I have bought over my last 2 trips to Primark for my holiday in a couple of weeks time. By all means, i'm NOT trying to brag, I just thought i'd let you know what I have bought because Primark isn't available online, so by people like myself showing you some clothes and accessories, you might spot something you like, also Primark is fairly cheap it's not like i'm doing a haul about loads of stuff from *insert dear high end clothes hop*, haha. Enjoy.

So I was a little naughty.

If you haven't figured out yet, I have a slight obsession with aztec print. So the first thing I purchased was this nude and black coloured aztec print bikini. It's from the Ocean Club section in Primark, which is basically all the holiday stuff. It was only £4 and I think it's just cute.

 Next thing I bought are these red and white wedged flip-flops. I really wanted the navy blue and white ones but the past three times I've been there, they haven't had my size so I just got the red ones. I just quite fancied ones with a bit of a wedge and they were only £3. Also, they're really comfy.
This dress, is probably one of my favourite summer buys. As some of you may know, I'm not usually a dress person but I really liked it. I have seen quite a few people with these dresses on and they just look so nice. Its a stretchy bodycon dress that goes just past the knees, it's tight but stretchy and it shows your figure nicely. I got in a nude and blue/grey aztec print. I think on holiday, I could wear it in the day time or dress it up at night. This type of dress is available in loads of shops but the main reason I bought it off Primark, is that I liked the pattern and it was only £10, which is really good because the quality is good for that price.

I then and purchased two loose fitting crop tops. Mainly because they are nice to just throw over a bikini on holiday, but also, in the summer I like to wear them with high waisted shorts. I got a plain khaki army coloured one that was only £3. Then I picked up a Disney Mickey Mouse one, which has a grey background with Mickey & Minnie mouse all over it, that was £6 but it is really cute and I can't wait to wear it.

I got these shorts. I got them in grey and burgundy. They were £3 each and are really good value. I would just wear them in the day time on holiday and sometimes I just wear shorts like this around the house because they are really comfy. If you haven't got a pair of these then seriously you should try them.

I also just picked up some footless sock things. I'm not too sure what you call them, but I like to wear them with vans because it still looks like your not wearing socks, but it saves you getting blisters. I got 2 pairs for £1.30.



The second to last thing I picked up, was these sunglasses. Last year, I bought these but in brown and I constantly wore them, so when I saw them back in stock then I went and got another pair. They are great because they block the sun (obviously) and you can still see through them easily. They are only £2, which is a great bargain.

So the last thing I purchased was the white/beige and black aztec print bag. Obviously because I needed a bag, then I had to choose the aztec one. I was looking for quite a big-ish bag because I wanted to use it as an 'aeroplane bag' to use for my upcoming holidays. So when I saw this, with it's lovely print I had to have it. It has a long strap so you can wear it on your shoulder and short straps to wear it on your arms. It was only £10 and it is just perfect and is exactly what I was looking for. So when you see my blog about my holiday, you'll bound to see a picture of it because I know that I will get a lot of use out of it.

Topshop Haul

Thought I'd do a fashion blog today, so I decided to do a 'Topshop Haul', these are the items that I have bought from Topshop in the last 2/3 weeks.
The pictures make them quite unflattering, but I will soon be doing a 'spring outfits' blog, wear I will wear a lot of these clothes, so you can see them on.

So the first item, that is probably my favourite one is this Aztec Print blue and white dress. Now I'm not really the type of girl that wears dresses to go out in the day, but when I saw this I loved it. It fits perfectly and has a zip up the side. It's tight and then flares out a bit but not too much. It has a lace up back which looks so pretty and I think this will be great for when I go on holiday and as a lovely summer dress. So I was happy because it's a dress that suits me. Plus it was £34 pound which isn't a bad price for a good quality and detailed dress.

 Next thing I purchased was another pair of their frilly ankle socks because I think they are so cosy and they look really nice with shorts and vans. I also have a grey pair of these and I wear them a lot so I bought the white pair. On me, they suit vans and converse but they go lovely with dresses, skater skirts or with shorts. They are £3.50 each or you can get 3 for £8. As the weather gets nicer, I will probably go and buy more pairs because Topshop does so many designs of them.

 Next thing I bought was a plain grey vest, it's pretty basic, on the picture it looks huge but I can promise you it's not huge. It's just a loose fit vest that will be nice for me just to place over my bikini on holiday, or to lounge around the house in. It's good because in the summer, I just like to throw a vest and top on and this will be perfect for that. Plus, even though it's only grey, I like the colour. This was £6, or you could get 2 for £10. Now I got 2 for £10 because I got this grey one and my Mum got a dark red one, haha.

 Now I bought these leggings a couple of weeks back, but I thought I would add in this haul because I have wore them a lot and I just really like them. They're just dark red / burgundy leggings. They are quite thick and you can't see anything through them. Some days I come home and I just want something to lounge around in and these are great for that. I think they were around £18 and they go with quite a lot of things, you can either dress it up with a blouse or just lounge about in them with a vest.



This is also one of my favourite purchases. It is a figure hugging but stretchy crop top and I got it in white because I don't have many white things. I have been looking for this kind of top for a while, but there was so much choice. I chose white because I don't have many white things and it makes my tan stand out more. On me, I think this will look nice with denim shorts and it was only £8. I just think I will wear it a lot this summer because it is so versatile.

 Again, this isn't my best photography, but I got this Long sleeve Check Shirt for £29. On the picture it looks absolutely huge, but I can assure you it's only just longer than an average shirt. I like the colours and it goes with loads of things I have wore this a few times with shorts and tights, but personally I prefer wearing it tucked into jeans. The sleeves roll up and it has a top button so it is good no matter what the weather is like.

The last thing I purchased was one of Topshops Nail Varnish's. I've heard loads of  people say how good these are so I went out and purchased one. I got this bright blue one in the shade 'Air Kisses'. It dries fast and has a lovely glossy finish. It was £5 and I would definitely go and buy some more shades. If you don't own any of their nail varnish's, you should definitely go and get one. I find that the best thing about this nail varnish is that it doesn't chip to easily, so it stays pretty firm, and also the range of colours Topshop have.
