I apologise guys I really don't know what to say but believe it or not I have a bit more haulage for you. On Tuesday my mum had to take her car for it's one month service ?? why I really don't know surely it doesn't need servicing after just 4 weeks ! never mind I joined her on a little trip to Durham. The garage isn't in the city centre it actually in between two retail parks on the outskirts of Durham - yup I said it retail parks!
Durham City Retail Park isn't that exciting mainly PC World, B&Q and Argos, but Dragonville is much better :). We didn't go to Tesco this time instead we headed straight for some proper shops - first up TK Maxx. I mentioned this TK Maxx on one of my previous Durham days but this one is so orderly it's untrue, it's super tidy and the rails aren't stuffed full. On my last visit I complained about the lack of shoes in larger sizes but this time it was much better - Mummy Lou was kind enough to buy these babies for me to compensate for the pile of things she bought lol - they aren't the most attractive beasts but they are so comfy
Birkenstocks! or more precisely Silver Madrid Birkenstocks I already have a white pair with two straps (Arizona?) and they are soooo comfy I love them - they were £22.99 but they have an RRP of £39.95 :)
As I say Mummy Lou bought me these because she bought loads of things for herself, she also bought herself a few things in Matalan but nothing really appealed - I did however pop into Peacocks :) This shop is really coming into it's own with me lately they have some lovely things especially in the fashion jewellery line :) . First up I got this super cute earring set - with having 4 piercings in each ear I often like to wear hoops in three of my holes and a little stud in the bottom one and these certainly fit the bill.
Try as I might couldn't capture them on camera so I've borrowed the pic from the Peacocks website - you get a pair of tiny daisies, a pair of tiny butterflies, and some opal type crystals
I also got these dangly earrings daisies again - these are very similar to some rings I own from Primark
and I got this faux jade stone ring - this is very similar to a Primark / River Island one that I wanted some time ago love this :)
and finally from Peacocks I picked up another make up item - this is the get the smoky look kit from Evie Glam
This little kit contains 2 eyeshadows, and a mini khol pencil and mascara
It was only £4 :) I will doing a full review of this product as well as the other items I've recently purchased from Evie Glam for my Budget Beauty series so don't forget to look out for it x
That was my haul from Durham but I got him just in time for a delivery from Home Delivery Network - the outer parcel was soaking wet with grey / black raindrops clearly visible on the red plastic, it was delivered in a bit of monsoon maybe with a bit of volcanic ash added urgh!!
Anyway the contents of the parcel was perfectly fine - it was from River Island - can you guess what was in it? Yes it was an item from my wishlist - the polka dot and pansy scarf :)
I absolutely love it is much longer than I thought almost pashmina a like and it can be worn in loads of different ways - bad pic of it just draped around my neck :)
Another item kind of sneaked into my backed a pair of cute Henry Holland socks that were in the sale :)
So that was my haul - I am waiting for a few online purchases which I will update you on as they come but you can expect to see some Milani, some Color Club, some H&M, some L'Oreal HIP, and maybe cough cough some NARS and some Daniel Sandler eek I have spent soooooo much money this month I've stopped counting June will definitely be more frugal I promise. In an attempt to earn a bit of cash and sort out my overflowing drawers and wardrobes I have spent the afternoon sorting out my wardrobe I am nowhere near finished but I have already fill a bin bag full of things for ebay, so don't forget to keep any eye on my sidebar for more ebay updates → I will also be updating my blog sale at the weekend again there are a few bits left and reduced from the last update so don't forget to have a look x I have a mountain of coat hangers to clear off my bed so I better stop rambling and get to it x Any questions as per usual leave me a comment x Next up a review I promise x

Clothing and Accessories Haulage
OK as I've said several times over the past few days my spending diet really has gone belly up this month so much so I am just not counting anymore I am too embarrassed- argh! I placed a few orders over the last week or so and they have started to come
First of all never a one to turn a good offer I placed a couple of La Redoute orders - from the first one which was 20% off and buy now pay August (these bits will be added to my August spending diet) I predominantly got a few basics - some long and short sleeved t-shirts, and vests which to be honest aren't that interesting to show you - I think when you have seen one white t-shirt you have probably seen them all lol so I think I'll show you two of the most interesting bits - this super slouchy navy and white striped t-shirt :)

I love this it's super slouchy, a bit more so than I imagined so I might maybe wear an indigo vest underneath - we'll see - I do love it though :) and shock of horrors I also got a pair of shoes - my first ones of the year

Aren't they pretty - a gorgeous tan summer sandal with a gorgeous turquoise effect stone detail - I own a few pairs of sandals like this already and they always look gorgeous in the summer with crops, shorts or skirts
The day after I placed that La Redoute what do you know I received another mailing through the post offering me 50% off my favourite item - faint - half price!! I am afraid I had to given into it - I ordered something I had been looking at repeatedly since I got the catalogue - the initial price of £80 ish scared me to be honest but at 50% off I thought it was worth a shot (whilst secretly hoping I hated it ;P )The thing is irl I don't hate it I love it - the colour isn't so good hear but it's a lovely navy blue and the leather is lovely quality (I don't own a blue leather bag) -it's a bit bigger than I thought it was but it's a great bag and will last for years - all for half price x :D


In the order for my Alice palette I also ordered a couple of bits from Debenhams - I got 2 tops from the H! By Henry Holland one of Debenhams new designer lines. First of all I got this short sleeved long line t-shirt

and I also got this crystal detail Pink Lipstick t-shirt :) (both pics taken from Debenhams)

I am really pleased with both of these items the cotton on the white top in particular is super quality and sooo soft :)
As I said earlier in the week I had a bit of a weight crisis which lead to my mum being kind enough to buy me some new things - they aren't that exciting to be honest so I won't included any pictures but they are real essentials, just a few pairs of jeans, some jeggings, some black trousers, some leggings, and some jog pants - she did buy me one luxury item though

this super cute Disney Alice In Wonderland t-shirt so cute - I am truly obsessed now lol
Oh and I also placed a Littlewoods order that came this week too - whoops - I am sure there was a discount somewhere in this lot too :)
First of all this cardigan - I love the bow detail :) It's a bit shorter than I would have liked but it will be cute for summer :)

and I also got this slubby, slouchy sequin detail t-shirt - I love the slubby fabric its so cool for summer :)

So there you have clothing goodies part 1 lol I have some Dorothy Perkins and 1 little thing coming from ASOS too which I'll update as and when - any questions please give me a yell xx
