Shopping Haul...

Over this last month I have been shopping in little bits. Being January, I really didn't have much money to spare. However, every week or so I did treat myself to some cheap things, as everyone deserves a treat!

 Dress: Zara £19.99 (sale)

This dress was a bargain at £19.99. The colour is a really great one for me, especially with my new hair colour. The shape of the top means no bra can be worn, but that's not an issue for me. The cross detail at the bottom is becoming quite fashionable, and adds a little flare to an otherwise simple dress.

 Quick Dry Sports Top: Primark £4.00 (each)

These tops do exactly as the label says as well as look fabulous on. They are form fitting with a racer back that that dry out from sweat by the time you've done your cooling down exercises at the gym. This quick dry feature is also really handy for when you've forgotten to wash your gym clothes, as they dry in an instant.

 Dresses: Miss Selfridge £12.00 (sale) and £7.00 (sale)

Of course I am aware of the weather. I got these for my holiday in the summer as they were great bargain prices. I really liked the print of the summer dress, as I don't really own much summer clothing. And the blue midi is a style I adore that always looks great.

 Game: CEX £15.00 

My friend recently gave me his old PS3 to help ease my boredom and to give me a hobby. I recently played the Last of Us and got way too addicted. So I went out and got a game I've been meaning to play properly since I cosplayed her back in May last year! Tomb Raider aka Lara Croft. I've only played about an hour so far, but its pretty awesome with great graphics, story and characters. I always get any games and DVD's from CEX as whats the point in buying new stuff for double the price? Recycle and save yourself some money!

 Necklace: Primark £3.00

I found this necklace just laying on top of a pile of t shirts that someone had dumped, and I couldn't figure out why! I loved the mix of the gold and pastel pink. Bang on trend and a super subtle piece to be work with slightly more patterned dresses. (would go pretty great with the dress at the beginning, hmm). It was also a steal at £3.00.

Soap: Naturally Unique £3.00 - Red Berry Blast

My friend Josie got me a smaller soap from naturally unique for Christmas and I just fell in love! It smelt so good and left my skin feeling hydrated, even though it was a soap! I went back in there to see if they had the same one, but the one Josie got me was a 'last chunk' so I had a sniff around and ended up with the beauty. It's red berry scent, very strong too but it makes my mouth water (I wish they were sweets!). I also really like the design of the soap. and that huge chunk only cost me £3.00. When I asked her how much, I was expecting her to say around 6-8, and was pleasantly surprised. I think it is a fantastic alternative to lush with just the same high quality indulgent products, at half the price or less! If you are ever in Romford, its worth popping your head into.

I didn't go too wild. All of this months spends came to £64.99 (I got some student discount) and I was given £15 by my friend to treat myself and I had a £10 Miss Selfridge gift card leftover form Christmas. So all together, I only spent £39.99! Great stuff!

I need to keep saving my money though!
