The Sunday Edit #2.

Hello!
It's time for another Sunday Edit, this week seems to have gone so quick even when I haven't been doing too much! Now for the run down on what I've been up to this week.

Last Friday was payday so it was inevitable for me to do a spot of shopping the Monday after, this seems to be becoming a monthly occurrence recently as town is a lot quieter on Mondays rather than the weekends! So off I headed to town opting for a monochrome look(surprise surprise) and warmer toned makeup, going for a neutral smokey eye. Monday's weather was boiling, I didn't need to take a jacket as it was soo warm, so i'm very glad I didn't! First I popped to Lush, Superdrug then Boots, Tiger, ELF and lastly Primark. To be quite honest I didn't go in for a full on shop, just running some errands to purchase some products I was needing and the odd 2 or 3 treats.

Tuesday and Wednesday I did not get up to much at all. Both days I woke up around 9, got up cleansed, got into comfy clothes then onto the sofa! However I didn't just laze around all day, I helped my Mum with some housework and then got round to doing some blogging, scheduling posts and catching up on Bloglovin'. Again I caught up on some of my YouTube subscriptions to ease my boredom before the rest of my family came home from work and school.

Thursday I actually woke up with some motive. Again waking up at a pretty reasonable time 9:30, cleansing and then into the comfies! I then took some photo's for instagram and this blog and did a little editing. Today was the day I decided to do some baking, after quite a long thought process  of 'I need to get baking'. My sisters are doing the Race for Life soon, which I am hoping to do myself next year but my sister held a charity event to raise money. The event included doing beauty treatments such as nails, pedicures, massaging and waxing as she is qualified in Beauty Therapy, to support the event we made some cakes and she will be serving them with cups of tea and coffee, yum! I was in charge of the Victoria Sponge and it was pretty successful although I forgot to take a photo so here is it in the process! 


Friday was a lazy day for me before working both Friday and Saturday evening. I did manage to catch up on some blogging but I'm not going to bore you with the rest of the day. I worked late Friday night so I really needed a lie in on Saturday but that didn't happen! I was up at 8 because I couldn't sleep and because I needed to shower before shopping. 

I went with my older sister, we got into town around 12 o'clock and we went book hunting. My sister is a primary teacher so she was in need of a story to base her lesson around, I loved looking at children's books! They brought back so many memories and I just wanted to buy them to read myself, we managed to pick up 3 really good ones, 2 of those were from Poundland can you believe it?! We only spotted them by chance when picking up sugar for my parents. I planned to splurge a little on Saturday and give my wardrobe a bit of a revamp, it didn't happen. I came out of a Primark with shoes that were my second option and worst of all they didn't fit:(! The shoes are pictured here but I'll be taking them back to try for my first option, if not in a size 5.

Here they are in black, I purchased the Nude colour- would be perfect for Summer!

I didn't pick up a lot so I'll just make a list of what I got- a Natural Collection Lipstick in the shade I wear daily(I forgot what it's called) but I earnt 100 points on my advantage card for that! Maybelline had a buy one get one half price so I picked up the Maybelline Brow Drama mascara in medium brown, to fill in my brows a little and as a quick fix. I then got a Babylips in Pink Punch to see what all the rave was about last year. Ooh last but certainly not least I picked up the Tea Tree toning water from Lush. 

I'm not doing anything this Sunday, I'm just relaxing and catching up on well needed sleep. I hope this hasn't been too much of a bore this week, hopefully next week will be more exciting as I'm supposed to be catching up with old school friends and seeing the Fault in Our Stars, so keep an eye out next week!

That's all for now, catch up with you next Sunday! Also hoping to get up a 'fashion' post up this week, may go awfully but anyway! Until next time!

A few 'recent' purchases

Hello!
So it's currently Friday and I've just finished college for the year, so I thought what better way to spend my afternoon than blogging? I've titled this post 'recent' purchases as a few of these things aren't necessarily that recent, just a few things I've collected that i'd like to show you guys. Also apologies in advance for these photos as I couldn't take ones on hangers due to the lighting and awful quality. 

I'll start in order of purchasing as that's just how my mind likes to work. So first up is this(I think, or similar) lovely bright coloured top that I thought was perfect to inject a bit of colour into my mostly monochrome wardrobe. I purchased one similar from Boohoo but it wasn't the kind of 'bright' I was looking for, it was high-vis vest colour, no thank you! So instead I picked up this in New Look, it's slightly over-sized, sheer and airy! Perfect for the warmer months.

Next from New Look was this, not quite so 'injecting colour into my wardrobe' striped long sleeved top. Oops, slipped up a bit there! However I was going to purchase this basic anyway and then I saw it on the website for just £4 in the sale, so I definitely couldn't leave it! I'm really loving stripes at the moment, I definitely need more.

So I popped into Primark for a look and to be quite honest, I wasn't overly impressed. I find Primark is a bit hit and miss for me, but I did find something I thought- why not? It was this slightly sheer periwinkle or powder blue(I'm not sure which best describes it) vest. I'm not really one for vests but I needed some more lighter and coloured clothes for summer, or the few days that we have in Wales. This was again around £4 so I thought even if I wear it once, it's still good!

I hadn't been into H&M for a while and I saw people purchasing some really nice things from their so I had a quick browse. Now I love slouchy jumpers and this was described as loose knit, and I thought this would be good for those not so warmer summer days. It's in this lovely dusty pink shade, so I can get away with it right? I had been emailed a discount code so got this as a great bargain and is only £5 now!

Since I had a discount code my will power to save was lacking, so I checked out the jewelry. I'm usually one for statement necklaces but recently I just can't be bothered with the hassle to choose which to wear, so I wanted something plain and simple that I could wear on a daily basis. I found this necklace and it was described as sparkly, immediately I needed it! It was actually just what I was looking for, and was just £1.99 so I didn't even need the discount code, although I didn't give it a miss.

Last but not at all least, is a pair of shoes I purchased from Hidden Fashion, who I definitely recommend you check out as their clothing is such good value and high quality. I saw somebody talking about this site on Youtube and I had a nose and found the shoes I've been lusting after for a while. I haven't actually had the confidence to wear them out yet as they have a platformed heel and quite frankly we just haven't had the weather. I'm looking forward to pairing these with dresses and skirts on hotter days as in my opinion they'll go perfectly and look out in the not too distant future for a more in-depth post on these!

So I thought i'd wrap it up there. I haven't bought a huge amount as I said this is titled 'a few'. I'm hoping to next do a post including my recent beauty purchases so look out for that also! I hope you have a lovely weekend, until next time..
