Primark Haul!

Hello my lovelies, I hope you are all well. I am doing really well, I can't quite believe it's almost reading week which means I've been here for almost a month, gasp. Anyway, here for you today readers I have everyone's favourite haul type post which as you can tell by the title is a Primark Haul. Enjoy...

I didn't actually need anything in Primark, the main reason we went in was because Meg needed some new trackies and a water bottle. Myself, I just saw loads of nice things and gave in. So the first thing I picked up were these knee high socks. I've never really worn knee high socks, so we'll see how we can work with these. But I really like the pattern and as they're black and grey I felt like they'd be more subtle to wear especially in the current autumn/ winter months. Also as they're black and white they're quite versatile to go with many outfits. 

Price: £2.00 

I got these because recently I've seen a lot of tutorials on how to curl your hair with these hair doughnuts. Which I thought was great as it doesn't damaged your hair and you get voluptuous curls. So I have tried and tested it and it does work. The only issue is at the moment, I need to find a way to get all my hair into the doughnut. I had to get the smallest ones because I have very thin hair and I know for a fact all my hair wont get round any of the larger ones. 

But they're also handy if you want to have a ballerina bun, they're a quick and easy hairstyle to put up, and they make your hair look really put together when in reality it took you 5 minutes to do. I'm really happy I got them.  

Price: 50p 

This was too 'me' not to pick up. For those poeple who know they know I'm a lover of lace, floral, and vintage looking decorations like this one above. I just really liked it and I've now hung it on my noticeboard. 

Price: £1.00 

These earrings I am absolutely in love with. I don't have many dangly earrings and I saw these and was like 'yes, yes, yes, I've gotta have them' so I picked them up. I think they're going to look gorgeous if I go out and have my hair up or something. They're the kind of jewellery item where you wouldn't need to wear anything else because they're bold and beautiful on their own. I just loved the colour of the gems and feathers; perfect for a pale skinned girl like myself. 

Price: £2.50 

Recently I've been looking for a new purse as I've been using my orange/ peach coloured one and now that it's autumn and I've got an emerald coloured handbag I wanted a more autumnal purse to go with it. I couldn't find any emerald ones or any near to the colour. But I saw this black and white one and loved it so much I bought it. It's got lots of different compartments for debit cards and loyalty cards etc, it also has two compartments for money. The one at the back and there's one within the purse which is great for lots of change. One thing I have noticed it also has deeper side pockets which is great for receipts as they're not really on show because of how deep the slotted side parts are. 

Price: £6.00 

I bought some more Powder Puffs which are my holy grail product for when applying my Maybelline Matte Maker powder. It's just so easy to use, it picks up the products so well, they're soft, and they fit in with the powder itself when I use them so I can top up on the go. 

Price: £1.00 

This next decorative item is again for my room. Slowly I am buying more and more room items to go into my room just to make it feel prettier and make it feel more like I can call my bedroom whilst I'm here in student accommodation. As even though I've settled in, I still don't completely feel like it's 100% mine yet. So with a little more TLC and other things it'll get there. So I got this just because I thought it was nice. 

Price: £3.00 

And finally, I had to buy these socks. I honestly don't think there's a reason not to buy them. They're slipper socks but they dont have the horrible rubber bits underneath that act as grip like you'd get on normal slippers. They're just super soft just like slippers would be, I'll let you in on a little secret, they're even softer than my slippers themselves, yep. But seriously if you guys have really cold feet a lot like myself these are brilliant. Especially if you don't really wanna wear slippers. I wear these everyday with and without slippers and my feet stay super warm and toasty in there. I wore these to uni one day this week with ugg boots and my feet were extra warm which'll be great when we get right into the heart of winter. 

Price: £3.00 

Well everyone that is it for this post, I hope you enjoyed my Primark haul as I always love watching them on YouTube and reading them on blogs. In the next couple days they're is going to be some Halloween looks posted for this year, I had a whole list of ones to choose from so I can't tell you what they're going to be, but it'll be a nice surprise for you all. Keep an eye for those. 

Bye for now,

Hello Stranger...

Hello my lovelies, I hope you are all well and haven't missed me too much. I am aware that it has been an extremely long while since we caught up with one another and that is because I've moved and I'm at university!
  I know I kept you all in the dark about which uni I was going to but I am at University of Chester and I'm studying Drama and Theatre Studies. So for these last three weeks we have been split into groups of about fifteen and we've all been assigned different teachers. My group and I have been doing lots of work with our movement teacher and we've been learning some really interesting devising techniques that I've never explored at college. 

The techniques we've visited are: 

• Mirroring 
• The Sphere 
• Flow
• Whoosh
• Lower Centre 

There are a few others we've been learning but these are examples of things we've been learning for these three weeks. I'm really looking forward to the rest of this year on my course because I am actually beginning to see and learn how completely different level 4 is at university compared to level 3 at college. I'm really looking forward to the rest of my time at university after these few weeks and I feel ready to do this degree. 

But apart from the course itself, I've also joined lots of societies on campus; Drama, Dance - Contemporary and Jazz, and Swing Dancing. I've really been enjoying all of these because they're all really fun and completely up my street. Recently I performed an audition for the Drama societies Christmas show and the cast list is being posted tomorrow, which is so exciting; I'll let you guys know how that goes down. 

  I've been picking up Swing Dancing really quickly and I really love it. We've been learning the Lindy Hop and the Charleston which haven't been that difficult to be honest, I've really been enjoying it. I think I've finally found a style of dance that I can actually excel really far in. 

  Contemporary and Jazz have been a little more difficult only because I'm not used to doing them but I am determined to stick at it and improve by the end of the year. Jazz is the one I'm finding most difficult at the moment as it's like musical dancing but 10x faster.

But apart from all of the university classes and societies I've been really getting into, obviously we've got to talk about freshers. Now freshers week was full of good, bad, awkward, funny, and memorable times and it really was where all of our housemates bonded and became friends.

  Fresher's week was really lovely as we all virtually spent every day together and we're all really good friends now. We went out almost every night to the on campus bar and the drinks were super cheap; £1.50 for a Malibu and Coke, yes please!

  But I enjoyed every moment of freshers but at the end of it I was happy for it to be over because I was tired and just wanted to get into doing lessons at uni. I've made so many close friends already and I cant wait to see what the rest of this year and the three years brings my way. 

Myself and a few of the girls on the night of
The Foam Party 

Well everyone, that's all I have to update you on for now but I shall chat to you again very soon. My next post is going to be a Primark Haul! 

Bye for now,

Katie
