Scotland Holiday Haul

While in Scotland for a week I couldn't help but buy a few things while I was there! It is a bit of an odd mix but I hope you enjoy.

Jewellery  

Golden Snitch Necklace, £7 I bought this at a little stall while exploring the Edinburgh Fringe for £7. However I have seen these online so if you do a little searching (probably on etsy) you should be able to find one like it.

Elephant Hand Bracelet, H&M, £3.99 When I bought this I actually thought it was your usual bracelet, I soon realised I was wrong, however I believe I prefer it this way anyway.

Gold Earrings, H&M, £3.99 I thought the earrings on the left were really interesting as they are 3D on your ear.

Hair Accessories

Hair Ties, £8.50 I am aware this is a lot of money for some hair ties but I got them at a fancy hotel in Scotland and my parents treated me to them. Quite often when I take my hair down it feels like half my hair is being ripped out at the same time so I am hoping these will help stop that.

Hair Thingy, Primark, £2 I don't really know what this is called but I thought it was a cool idea that I can hopefully work into my wardrobe somehow. Probably for nights out.

Clothing

Sweatshirt, Primark, £5 I have been hunting for a really nice wooly jumoer but I am yet to find one, instead I found this sweatshirt and thought it will be really nice for lazy days or when I can't be bothered to put together an outfit.

Make Up Brushes

Real Techniques Concealer Brush, Boots, £7.99 I always used to use my finger to blend in my concealer so I thought I would branch out and try a brush instead. I am a big fan of the real technique brushes so I knew I could trust them.

Bold Metals 101 Triangle Foundation, Boots, £16.50 I have wanted to try the new range for a while now and boots have a sale on them at them moment so what a better time to start!

Other

Toy Story Tsum Tsum's, Clintons, £3.50 The Disney store has stopped selling the Toy Story tsum tsum's which I was devestated about but I found them in Clintons. I wanted to buy them all but I restricted myself to just three.

After Me Came the Flood and Clockwork Orange, Waterstones I got these plainly because I only took two books with me and I finished them within the first couple of days.

Drinks Bottle, Primark, £3.50 I have been making a lot of milkshakes recently and I wanted a cute pintresty milk bottle to drink them from. However I am yet to fine one but I saw this one in the Edinburgh Primark and thought it was quite cute.

July Favourites!

For the first time I am going to do a Favourites blog, mainly as there are a few things that I have really been enjoying this month that I thought that I would share.

Beauty.

The Bare Minerals True Romantic Eye shadow Quad £29. This is the first high end eye shadow that I have actually bought. I got a Debenhams voucher and went in meaning to get an Urban Decay naked palette, but I got looking around and testing a load of colours and I fell in love with 1) the packaging, isn't it pretty and 2) I couldn't resist the shimmery gold!

Clothing.

Floral Bardot Dress, New Look, £14.99. I find this dress really comfy because of the skater dress fit, but it's also a bit different because of the Bardot neckline and very summery because of the floral.


Accessories.

Rose Gold Metallic Backpack, New Look, £19.99.  I have been looking at this bag whenever I go into New Look and also thinking about it whenever I am not in New Look. So finally about a week ago I bought it, and isn't it B-E-A-UTIFUL. it has a little front pocket and two small ones on the side, inside there is a zipped pocket and a phone slip like in most bags. There is plenty of room to lose all your items in as well :).

Choker, Primark, £1.50. Ever since they have come back into style I have really wanted to get a choker but I didn't really find a style that I liked and I have been unsure whether or not a choker would irritate me throughout the day. However because it has an adjustable chain it doesn't have to be tight against my neck. Also I really like the simplicity of the silver band with a small simple heart.

Bracelet, Primark, £2.00. This is a very recent purchase of mine and I have only worn it a couple of times, but I find that it being a mix of a bracelet and a ring adds to it and really makes it something different that I have never owned before.

Other.

The Truth About the Harry Qubert Affair, Joel Dicker. Although this is a chunky book it didn't feel like there were 600+ pages. It was a complete page turner, it felt that with every chapter there was  new twist to the plot. It really kept you guessing from beginning to end, which is something that I really love in a book. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone and everyone (well maybe not little children!)
