Primark Buys

I made the mistake of going in Primark for the second time in the matter of days, the first time i was very restrained & only left with the Skull watch that i blogged about the other day which actually ended up being faulty.. However my second trip i failed to be restrained & bought a few items....

 (i know, i know, i did a whole blog post about how i agree with Vivienne Westwood about the streets being full of clones & that fast fashion is to blame.... but the fact that i only have very few pounds i think justifies me shopping in Primark & giving in to this so called fast fashion - especially since i can't afford any more of the real deal McQueen skull scarves....)

Firstly - Skull scarves are all over my local Primark, they must have them in about 10-20 different colours, silky & cotton type ones. 
These two i LOVE : 

Turqouise & coral skull print scarf - £3 Primark - BARGAIN... although i predict everyone will be sporting a sull scarf from Primark at these prices! 

Beige & Pink skull print scarf £3 Primark.

 ^These are quite a decent size, probably exactly the same as the real deal McQueen versions & not as flimsy i might add as they're not 100% silk.
The 2 i bought above are cotton material ones as i didn't fancy any of the colours in the silky fabric. They really have got a really wide range of them in at the moment. 
The black & white ones are especially 'classic' i think, but since i already own an original in that colour i thought i'd have some colourful ones! 


Next purchase : a backpack! : (no don't worry, we've not time travelled back to the 1990s)

I can't even remember the last time i wore a backpack, it may have been during my school days which is quite some time ago now.. however now that i am a mother i feel i need to start thinking more practical, and this is clearly the solution. Well the solution of what bag to use when out with the pram at least.. as i have found that pushing the pram & trying to keep a shoulder strap bag on the shoulder proves quite difficult. So this should solve my problems. It's actually quite a substantial size too so i could always fit essential baby bits in as well as my purse / keys / phone instead of taking the changing bag.

Heart printed canvas backpack - £9 Primark

Love the heart print

It has a lovely coral colour on the inside & a handy pocket to the front.

 

Oh & i couldn't resist this Tshirt, because lets face it - who doesn't want a shirt with French phrases on?! or is that just me.... : 
(technically speaking i've just purchased a tshirt that says Hi! Hi! on it, but somehow with it being in French it makes it slightly cooler...)

£4 Primark

 Now i am going to go hang my head in shame for giving in to Primark & it's lure's of FAST FASHION.....

Song Of The Day

IM5 Mash up -
This song is definitely classed as a guilty pleasure kind of song, and possibly one that i shouldn't admit to liking. I just stumbled across it while looking on Perez Hilton's website. I don't really know who they are but one assumes they are America's answer to One Direction...... Enjoy!

This week..

I have mainly been wearing... (apologies for the poor quality bathroom mirror shots)

Rihanna LOUD! gig Tshirt

Rihanna Tee teamed with River Island polka dot leggings

River Island striped top, vintage scarf + Paperchase iphone cover

H&M Tshirt

H&m Tshirt + River Island tiger cardi

 I'm still feeling extremely lazy when it comes to getting dressed.. but i do have a 3 week old baby so i guess i'm excused! I have mainly been living in leggings & tshirts, oh & my big Primark Parka! 

This is a shot from me & Theo's first trip to town with the pram, he was wrapped up nice & toasty in a teddy bear pram suit from Matalan. 

 It's still chilly outside so i've been making the most out of my fur headband from Joy & my Primark aviator jacket. 
Winter is actually my favourite season, much prefer winter coats / cardigans / jumpers to flip flops & shorts!

Oscars Fashion Smashion

Last night was the night the stars of Hollywood came out.... THE OSCARS. 
 The night seemed to be filled with white dresses & Angelina Jolies right leg became a trending topic on twitter after she spent all night posing with it sticking out of her velvet black dress. 

Angelina s leg took centre stage last night.

 

 

 My favourite look of the night was Katy Perry, who proved you can do demure with blue hair in a lovely silver number at Elton Johns Oscar bash.

Katy Perry looked stunning

Miley Cyrus was also amongst the best dressed in attendance at Elton Johns Oscar party in a beautiful Roberto Cavalli gown :

The Beckhams were one of the best dressed couples at the Vanity Fair party

What Time Is It Mr Wolf..

Today i ventured into Primark & managed to have some self restraint... i purchased 1 item & that was it - this is a big step for me! 
 Anyways this item was a watch.. i saw it, fell in love & it had to be mine - mainly due to the fact that it has skulls on it.. 

£4 Primark

Tie fabric watch

I've never owned a watch like this & wonder if they will become a new fashion, as it doesn't have the conventional strap instead it has a fabric strap that you tie round your wrist as seen in the above picture.  It was only £4 so i couldn't resist, plus i appear to have lost my Fossil leather watch which is disappointing.
However the downside to this watch is that i have just discovered while taking pictures of it that it doesn't bloody well work... so straight back to the shop it shall go to be exchanged for hopefully an actual working watch. I should really have learnt my lesson by now that items from Primark should be fully checked over before purchasing so that mistakes like this don't happen.

Feeling Blue

This blue cropped hair cut Katy Perry has been sporting recently has really grown on me in recent weeks. The more i see pictures of her, the more i like it. 
I like the fact that she seems fearless enough to carry off having blue hair in the music industry. 

Gotta hand it to her, since she even managed to pull the blue hair off at the Grammy's  :

Not sure many people could pull off the blue hair though..

A Story To Warm The Heart

It's not very often that you come across a news article regarding a celebrity that makes you go "ahh isn't that lovely" BUT this truly does...

Taylor Swift asks cancer sufferer to be her date... 

Country music star Taylor Swift was asked if she would be the date of a teenage cancer sufferer for his senior prom as part of a Facebook campaign however the songstress was unable to attend so instead kindly asked him if he would be her date for the American Country Music Awards. 

Isn't that just so sweet of her? It's not often you hear of stars doing things like this. Taylor Swift (although i never had a strong opinion of her) has definitely gone up in my estimations from this.

Buckle Up!

River Island have redeemed themselves this week with these lovely buckle bracelets:

Brown Leopard Print Wrap Buckle Bracelet £18

Cream Buckle Bracelet £25

Back view of black leather buckle bracelet £25

Front view of black buckle bracelet £25

 I have to say i really love these, they're all real leather too so i guess that's why they are a bit on the pricey side. I think these appeal to my 'pirate' side! 
Plus i'm not that into girly bracelets too much so these are more my kind of style - minus my charm bracelets (Pandora  / Links) which are the only kind of bracelets i tend to wear really.

Second Song Of The Day

Birdman - Y. U. MAD ft. Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne.

I know i have only just posted a 'Song Of The Day', but i couldn't resist posting this when i heard it. I have to say i LOVE this (as well as loving how ridiculous Lil Wayne looks in the red Russian hat towards the end). I must admit i'm a rap fan - Nelly / Nicki Minaj / Kanye etc so this is right up my street!

xoxo

Song Of The Day

David Guetta - Turn Me On Ft. Nicki Minaj

This is bound to be a smash hit. David Guetta is a hit machine.
I'm not quite sure wtf is going on with the music video for this tune.. reminds me a bit of House Of Wax & i'm not sure thats a good thing. However this song is a right TUNE.
