end of exams & shopping trip


hello there again!  i'm back and exam-free!  i couldn't be happier with how all my exams went, i'm so relieved and ready to relax.  before you read the rest of this post, play this song and chill with me...


right, carrying on.  so after biology finished yesterday (11am) i went into town with my friend and did a lil bit of retail therapy, and we went to the west end of glasgow with more of our friends to chill at the park.  it was lovely aw.  and then today i went into town with another friend of mine and we got some lunch at wagamamas and did a lil bit more shopping ;)  so here's what i got over the two days!  oh, and by the way, this was what i spent my birthday money on :)


I've been needing a black pair of Joni jeans from Topshop as i adoooore my blue ones - they're the comfiest most wonderful high-waisted skinny jeans i've ever had, and £36 is a fairly reasonable price for what you get, they're very durable!
i also got this white crop top with flowers on the bottom and sleeves which was £22 (a bit pricey but i love it!)
the pink flower crown/hairband i got from Primark for only £2.50
and the phone case i got from New Look for £4.99


this black daisy skort i got from Topshop for £32, and it's made of a lovely floaty material which makes it appear as a skirt!


this floral bodycon skirt i got from Forever 21 for only £6.50 and goes perfectly with a white top :)


this is a playsuit i also got from Forever 21 for £16.75, i love the colour of this and that the top half is loose too :)


so i finally bought the Puma Suedes i've been wanting for a while now!  all my guy friends have them and my Vans have lasted me over a year now so i was recommended these as they've been known to be suuuper comfy and durable :)  these retail for £55 at Schuh, but if you have a student card you can get a 10% discount, so i got them for £49.50


i also went to Lush!  i'm planning on having a chilled pamper night for myself to celebrate end of exams and no more studying for a while!  so i bought the infamous 'The Comforter' bubble bar which smells divine for a good bubble bath!  i also bought the 'Creamy Candy' bubble bar which smells like 'Snow Fairy' which only comes out at christmas time, sweet and delicious.  i asked one of the assistants for a cleanser that was good for acne-prone skin and she recommended the 'Fresh Farmacy' cleanser which smells of chamomile and is lightly exfoliating - i can't wait to use it!  and finally when i got to the counter i was asked if i wanted to buy a small 'Charity Pot' hand & body lotion and i did as it was only £1 and all the proceeds go to charity!


and last but not least, i popped into Paperchase to have a browse and i picked up these adorable sparkly letter postcards to spell out my name, and this pink polka dot washi tape to wrap up orders in as it's similar to the logo i've designed!  more on that later when i officially open the store...


phew!  bit of a long post there, might not have been very interesting, but i guess it's something!  i hope you enjoyed the chilled-out song and feel a little more relaxed :)  have a wonderful evening you lovely people, and i'll be posting again very soon.  thank you all for giving me such a warm welcome back, i think i'll be here for a while :)

love always,
