Haull! Primark, Dunnes Stores and a Charity Shop!

I'm supposed to be saving at the moment but here are a few items I bought during the week. After this I'm on a total spending ban! Apart from the boots they weren't expensive buys....

I have no heels at the moment as I have wrecked all my other shoes so I really needed something to wear on a night out. These boots are sooo comfortable as they have a really big heel. I bought them in Dunnes Stores for €30 and love them!

Black belt €3 from Penneys / Primark. I love to belt in my clothes at the waist. Penney do great belts for very cheap.

I'm not too sure about this buy. It matches my hair perfectly and was only €1.50. I'm not too sure how to wear it though so any suggestions would be welcomed!

My favourite make up wipes they are great for €1.50!

This was only 50 cent in a Charity Shop. I have become obsessed with quick drying my nails lately, so I can't wait to try this out!

I also picked up this book in the Charity Shop for €1. It has some amazing pictures in it witch I plan to take out and stick up in my bedroom.

Some of the pictures from inside the book!


So that's my haul! I hope you like though!

St. Patrick's Day: Easy ways to go Green!

With St. Patrick's day only 10 days away I'm starting to get a bit excited. I LOVE St. Patrick's Day. (Any excuse to paint my face and go a bit mad with colour!) I love the parades, the colours and the national pride that takes over Ireland for one day. (And other places throughout the world!) It's so easy to get into the St. Patrick's Day spirit. It can be something small from green nail polish to going all out with green jeans, crazy eyeshadow and a leprechaun hat. It doesn't have to break the bank either with great bargains from €1.49 there is no excuse not to join in!

Leprechaun hat, Dealz €1.49

Orange belt, H&M €3.95

Green High Heals, Dunnes Stores €20

Cardigan, H&M €24.95

Jeans, Penneys €13

Sleek Acid I-Divine Palette, Sleek.com €8.50

Green Bag, H&M €9.95

Ornage Nail Polish, Catrice €2.79

Irish Princess Tiara, Dealz €1.49

The Sleek Acid I-Divine Palette has the perfect colours for St. Patrick's Day!

Colours Swatched. No primer was used. For a more vibrant colour use Urban Decay Potion Primer before applying.

On my own nails I'm going to wear MNY 753- Lime Green/ Electric Green. It's a gorgeous green with a pearl aspect to it! This will be teamed with an orange dress from Penneys. I have no doubt that a huge leprechaun hat will also be worn!

Will you be getting into the St. Patrick's Day Celebrations this year?

Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Mother's Day is fast approaching (March 18th). If you have no idea what to get your mother here is some gift ideas!

Paul Costelloe has a new line in Dunnes Stores. This Watercolour Print Cushion will be loved by many mothers around the country! A perfect gift to make her happy! (€35.00 Dunne's Stores)

Marks and Spencer's Florentyna Eau de Toilette 100ml €16.00/ £12.00. This is the perfect Mother's Day perfume. I love the shape of the bottle, the flower lid really makes it look pretty!

For a great alternative to real flowers why not get your mother a Lush Tulip? How cute are these?! The Tulip is also the symbol of International Women's day which is an added bonus. Mothers can put their feet up and relax in up to six baths using this wand. For an extra special surprise tell your mother to bury the tag in the garden and water the soil. In the summer she will be greeted with some lovely Tulips! There is Tulip seeds embedded in the tag! I think this is amazing! (£4.95 each so about €6)

Another real flower alternative is a Three Flower Orchid Pot £5.00/€6.00 from Heatons. This is a lovely little present! The orchids are artificial so not only will your mother have this pretty plant on Mother's Day, she will have it all year round! I love the colours in it!

If your Mother is anything like my Mam she will love a handbag this Mother's Day! This Savida Bag €30 /£26 is a great way to show your Mother how much you care! 

I hope this helps with Mother's day gift ideas!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers out there! Especially to my lovely Mam! x

Sales Haul

I have been trying my best not to buy anything in the sales (as I'm trying to save money.) Unfortunately, I didn't succeed in my shopping ban, I only bought a few things though and didn't go too crazy! 

Leopard Print Faux Fur Scarf - I picked this up in Dunnes Stores for €3.00 (reduced from €5) I forgot to bring a scarf one day so I was freezing! I bought this to warm me up! I wanted to get a faux fur scarf for ages, so I'm quite pleased with this.

Top Shop Earrings- I love these earrings! I think they are so pretty! They have a bit of a Downton Abbey look to them. They were a bargain at €4.50 (reduced from €12.50)

Penneys / Primark Necklace - This flower necklace was only €1 (reduced from €3) I'm always breaking necklaces so picked this up to add to my 'work wear' necklaces.

Revlon Nail Builders 'Grow 10' - My nails have been in bits lately so I have been looking for something to give them some TLC. I picked this up in the cosmetics shop in Georges Street Arcade for only €3. Hopefully help my poor nails.

James Corden 'May I have your Attention Please' Autobiography - I'm a huge 'Gavin and Stacey' fan so I wanted to buy James Cordon's book. I looked before Christmas and it cost €18.50!! I however, found it while browsing in a charity shop for €1! Yes €1! It was brand new and looked like it had never been read. (I'd say it was an unwanted Christmas present!) I'm about half way through and really liking it.

So that's my sale haul. Not bad for €12.50! :)
