A Huge Primark Shopping Spree!

I think Primark may actually be my favourite shop. They have such a huge variety of clothing, shoes and accessories, and all at amazingly low prices. The only downside is that to get the good stuff you need to go to a big store. And it's like a zoo. I went on a Saturday (very bad idea!) and it was hellish. People jostling everywhere, clothes strewn all over the floor, babies crying and ridiculously long queues...it's not a pleasant experience!

However you can't help but feel chuffed when you come out laden with shopping bags, all for the same price as only two or three items from Topshop. Here are some recent goodies...



I love anything floral, so these bags were calling out to me. I use the waterproof one on the left to take to work, I pop my lunch and reading material in it! The other two are made from sequins, the little one I use for my makeup brushes when I travel.

I found this gorgeous pyjama set whilst browsing. The stripes reminded me a little of Jack Wills, but without the extortionate price tag and the in-your-face branding. The little knickers have ruffles on the back, so sweet!

I thought this pastel mint coloured blouse would be good for work, paired with a little pencil skirt.

These little dresses will be perfect for summer, either on their own or paired with leggings. I'll be pairing this white one with a wide leather waist belt...

I love the Broderie Anglaise style band around the top of the dress.

I'd seen this vest on a few other blogs and added it to my wish list. I love the baby pink colour of this vest and the soft layers of fabric.

It looks lovely paired with leggings and a blazer.

I thought this top would be suitable for both work and weekends. I love soft, floaty fabrics and the colour is so pretty.



Such a pretty cardy, and again, suitable for work and home. I love everything about it, from the small gathers as the shoulder to the sweet little bow on the label!


These sandals reminded me of Granny shoes, so I'm not sure why I like them but I do! They look beige here but they're actually a pink/blush colour. I'm tempted to buy another pair in white as they'll be perfect to pair with little summer dresses.


Primark always have a great selection of jewellery so I bought these pretty floral bangles and a cute little bow hair clip that I use when I have a half-up do.
(The earrings are from H&M though!)

To finish off, I need your advice! My fiance bought me this top from Lipsy...

I absolutely love it, but because it's see-through, I have no idea what to wear it with. Are you supposed to put a camisole underneath? Layer it with a vest? Or just be brazen and have your bra showing?! I need your ideas girls!

  10. Your buys are so sweet! I especially love the gingham dress and the floral cardi!
    I'd probably wear either a nude or black cami under the sheer top, it could end up a bit Katie Price otherwise!!
