New buys..

On my way home from university I go through Leeds city centre and oh how tempting it is to go shopping.I tell myself I just need to pick up one thing and end up going to five shops. Lethal.
Here's some of the things I have bought in the past week...
Okay the 'skin' background looks kind of weird to me but anyway these are both from Primark. The owl is too cute. These were both £1.50 each...they have a lot of jewellery and accessories at that price at the moment.
 I have read soo many fantastic reviews about the 'Treatment for hair that never grows past a certain length' here,and on other blogs. I got it more for the conditioning aspects though,it's normally £7.14 for that tub and the same for the 'Hot shots' (which sounds rather cool, a self heating hair treatment!) but at the moment there's an offer at Boots where you can get any two Lee Stafford products for £8.00 which is such a great offer....I had to take advantage!
 This is one of those things that look better on, but I fell in love with the lace detailing and at £12 from Primark you can't go wrong!
 Cute accessories, the bangle is an exact dupe of the gold and black one I got from forever 21 when I was in Cali... except this was £1.50 and the earrings too, again from Primark.
The first bag is from Topshop at £32 I originally had it in a lovely tan but the clasp to open and close it had broke :l so I took it back and they didn't have any more tan ones at the Topshop I went to so I got that one instead. Fingers crossed this one stays in one piece. 
The bow bag is adorable, I actually got two (one for my giveaway!) I think i'll be using it a lot during summer.
 I am in love with these moccasin shoes. I have been wanting a pair for a while now so when I saw these I just had to get them. They cost £10 from Primark and are also available in brown.
I'm in a bit of a dilemma actually... these are a size 6 and are just a too tight in the toe area (I convinced myself they would be okay), but the 7s were a little too big. I love them too much not to have a pair but it seems as though if I keep the 6 I will kill my feet and the 7 are just going to make me look like I have big feet? Plus I'd have to get insoles. I hate my feet. My second toe in particular, it causes all kinds of problems as it's longer than my big toe haha this makes shoe shopping hard. Anyone else have this problem? or am I the only one blessed with this special toe thing?
I am also in love with blouses right now, they are my favourite thing to wear at the moment. I managed to get my hands on this beaut at the Harrogate Primark for around £12. I really liked the Harrogate Primark, although I got there not long before closing... it was very quiet, really tidy and they had new changing rooms that seemed like they belonged somewhere expensive. Way better than the crappy ones I've come across at shops more expensive than Primark like Miss Selfridge where the curtains don't even close properly so people can clearly see you getting changed from the sides.
Lastly, I have been wanting to try these tights since I saw them on Lilly's blog post ages ago. I never really saw them at my local Primark in Leeds until now! They cost £3.00 and the lining is sooo soft and fleecy, I've only worn them once but I felt like they kept my legs warmer than the average tights do.

What are you loving right now?

Thank you + Review + Mini Haul

Gosh I didn't even realise I've got to 67 followers, that was a lovely surprise as I know I've been MIA thanks to university and work taking its toll. I want to say thank you to all my followers ^_^ I've been finding it hard to blog as much but I'm trying my best to do more posts.

So first of all the review, Lush Dorothy Bubble bar. £2.80
So initially I bought this product just on the cuteness factor, not really a good thing to base a purchase on but out of all Lush products its the bubble bar's that I love using. The scent I thought was okay, it's supposed to be like the figs and leaves soap however myself and the sales assistant thought Dorothy somehow had a nicer smell. 
I unfortunately didn't get to take bath pictures but I used about a quarter of it and I got mostly the blue part, It turned my bath a gorgeous shade of blue and I actually thought it smelled quiet nice in the end as well!
Also when I start getting some of the rainbow into my bath I'll be getting different shades of blue I assume which I think will be really nice especially soon as I won't know what colour to expect!

Overall rating  B-
It's nice but nothing amazing.

Mini Haulage:

I got this lovely bracelet for £2.50 - Primark


This gorgeous thing...no idea what to call it though cardigan? - £8.00

When I first saw it there was some in navy and I think black maybe and I said to my friend I loveeee it but I want it in cream, walked around the corner and there we are!! beaut.

Then I popped into M&S where they had a sale on but it's not really been advertised. A lot of younger people don't really shop at M&S maybe classing it as somewhere for older people, I did this when I was younger 'the granny shop' haha but believe it or not they do sometimes have really nice things.
I got:
Earrings from £5.00 down to £2.00

Some tights, half price from £8.00 to £4.00..Bargains!

I also got some underwear, really good sale prices but I won't be sharing what I got!

Who's been shopping lately? It's for once a lovely day outside so I'm going to hit the shops before I go to uni.

Oh I just can't stop shopping!

Sooo I've not been posting as much as I've been wanting to now I'm back at university but I've of course been shopping more as I'm in Leeds more often.

I got some nail polish from M&S, I've used a hot pink from there before and it was a dupe of Barry M's so I thought I'd try out some more and I got a pastel blue and pinkypurple.
The hot pink was fantastic, I'll get some pictures up when I next have it on but this pastel pink I found to be streaky thus I needed two coats of it and I'd say it doesn't look bad with two coats. No chips yet either and I've had it on for two days today.
£2.50 a bottle but less for me as I work there, not bad really.

I also got a set of bangles from Primark which I love to wear with my Accessorize bracelet.
 
 They cost all of £2.50

Asda-George earrings, these are lovely. I've only worn them once and the back stopper thingamajig to the earring that holds it to your ear broke but I can just take it off another earring I guess.


  They cost £3.00 not bad

And lastly a couple of days ago I got this bag from a new store called Miss butterfly, it's replaced Virgin Mega Store which turned into Zavvi which turned into Head. Anywho this new shop is pretty nice, I do really like some of the things they sell. I even got a dress and top from there previously.They sell a range of styles and some very quirky designs.



So I needed a bag for Uni which would carry my books and folders and I've been looking for a perfect one for AGES. This one is perfect, I like that its quilted and studded, the straps are long enough for me to put on my shoulder without them constantly sliding off like my previous bag. The fact that the straps are joined by metal hooks I doubt immense weight of my books will break the straps which has happened to me before. The zip on the inside means I can keep my phone in there and anything I need quick access to.This cost £25.

I was wondering if many of you guys shop in Leeds often?
