TkMaxx Haul!

I went shopping with my mum yesterday and she kindly offered to buy me some essentials for winter.

I know I've only posted up 3 item so I think I can class it as a small haul, hoho.

In line with my new shopping resolution, I only chose what I felt I really needed. I had to throw away two pairs of shoes recently because I've been walking a lot recently. A LOT. So, I picked out some shoes that are more comfortable and durable than what I would usually pick.
 This one is SUPER comfortable and even thought it looks slightly goofy, at least my feet will be warm!

This pair is pretty versatile and is going to be replacing my old brown pair which looks really similar. Lace up boots are such good shoes all year round and I just love them!

And lastly, the pair of skinny, high waisted jeans which I can't be bothered to model at the moment(I know I'm lazy!), but are really slimming because of the indigo colour.

I know this sounds crazy because it's pretty much middle of summer still for most places but I 

 am ready for autumn!Let's hope its a good one!

So, I went shopping with my mum, so I'm technically not breaking the shopping ban I set myself since my mum paid(it was all for things I needed, I promise!). We went past a Primark today and since the Easy jean dupe it has looked alright I thought I'd try some on. They fit/looked weird on me so I gave them a pass. Sadly, we didn't stay too long in there because we had more stuff that we needed to buy.

Not wanting to pass up on some bargains, I decided to have a look at the Autumn/Winter stuff that Primark is going to bring out and it really does not disappoint and I know that once my shopping ban wears off, I'm popping in to grab these beauties!

I think we can all agree that this season's Primark clothing is getting even better and harder to resist to buy. However, the clothes sometimes looks better on photos because with some items, you can't look closely because the material can be incredibly thin but that's only some.

Well, I'm looking forward to bagging these soon! And of course looking forward to a stylish, grungy winter yay!

On a side note, to the store assistant who was incredibly rude to me in the phone store, I hope you learn to be a better person soon because being a miserable bitch isn't benefiting anyone :)

Edit: Just remembered I bought these a few days ago....Oops

I promised myself that I'd start working out soon so these are kind of an incentive I guess :B

Curb yo' shoppin'!

Recently, I've set myself a shopping ban, which I broke within two weeks.

Which I think. we can all agree is pretty bad.

To be honest, I know I own too many "things" I don't need, namely clothes, but the urge to buy is too hard resist. My wardrobe is literally so full I cannot cram any more things into it. Plus, the cupboards and suitcases....

What I'm trying to say is that nowadays it's hard to save because of all that's on offer and the constant bombardment of adverts and images of aspirations you should have and things you should own. In the end, I'm never going to use all of this "stuff" and it's all going to waste. So, I'm planning to donate some clothes to charity, clear up some space and go cold turkey on the spending. 

And whenever I think I'm going to give in, this mantra will kick in in my mind.

Review: Vichy Normaderm Moisturiser

Last year and this year have both been f*ckinh stressful to the extent that I used to have madly oily patches and breakouts on my face. Even though the stress factor is still there more than ever, the spots are minimal and my skin is overall a lot more balanced.

This could be down to many factors but I do believe that my improved skin routine helped.

This time last year, I never really used moisturiser on my skin because I thought "I don't need more moisture on my face, it's too oily already!" However, after I got my new job, I decided I really needed to care for my skin more and "invest" in some moisturiser. I use the term invest quite loosely because this moisturiser is quite middle range but still more expensive than your normal supermarket brands.

It promises a lot such as evening out skin tone, preventing spots, closing pores etc but like all skin care, it's just some cream, it's never going to work miracles on its own. I did notice that my pores have shrunken a little, especially on my nose. Because of this, it is a little drying, which is really what I needed on my T-zone, but not the rest of my face, which I had to buy another moisturiser for.

Final verdict: Happy with the product, would purchase again.
Dislaimer: This was bought with my own money and opinions are my own.

Saw this on souncloud and felt that it had be a feature on my blog. Ohmagawd I used to listen to this when I was 10. So, so wrong.....
