A Small Haul

So...yesterday I went shopping with some of my family and got a few bits and bobs that I thought I may as well share with the blogging world. This is quite a small haul because I didn't want to spend too much but I'm so excited about each item I bought!! I also went to Nando's for the first time in my life - a big deal for me, haha! Anyways, make sure to carry on reading this post to see what I got!

 

I bought three clothing pieces whilst shopping and they're all from Forever 21, as I can never leave a F21 store without buying anything - FACT! I also had a gift card from my birthday that I needed to use, so why not?!? I love F21 as I feel that they offer really cute pieces for affordable prices and at a relatively high quality. If you don't have a F21 store anywhere near you, I would totally recommend checking out their online website.
(Also sorry that some of the images are not great quality (especially of the cardigans), I was going to take pictures with the clothes on but then thought I'd use them in OOTD's soon!)

 

First of all I bought a crop top, which is definitely out of my comfort zone as I don't usually like showing off my stomach too much. Originally I wanted to try the high-waisted shorts that matched the crop top but they didn't seem to have them anywhere in the store, so I decided to try on the crop top - even though I didn't like the look of it online, but I actually ended up loving it! It's a beautiful blue floral print crop top with a turtle-neck - I don't really like turtlenecks usually either! I also love that there is a lace trim around the bottom of the top, making it feel a bit more bohemian!

I will probably pair this with high-waisted jeans or shorts, however they look good with these light wash jeans I'm wearing and it'll be perfect for my holiday later this year!
Find the top online here!
 

 

I also bought two cardigans from F21 which may seem pointless to some people as they are pretty much the same colour, but I couldn't resist!! The first cardigan is slightly more beige and as you can see it's simply just a plain fairly light weight cardigan and it is sooooo comfortable. I feel that this cardigan is extremely flattering and a bit more of a classic piece that I will be wearing a lot - and it really makes me look slimmer! Completely worth the money!!!
(Sorry, I can't find this cardigan online).
 

The other cardigan is more of a creamish-white colour. I've been wanting a batwing cardigan for a while and once I saw this one I had to try it on and fell in love! I love how oversized the cardigan is to give it more of a casual feel and it'll also be great for layering when it gets a little warmer - I don't expect to be wearing it out with the current weather here in England, well unless I want hypothermia!
Check out the cardigan online here!
Btw it doesn't look as nice online as it does in person.

 

I also popped into Boots mainly because I've been wanting to try the new Revlon Matte and Lacquer balms for a while. They are usually £7.99, but Boots were having 3 for 2 on all Revlon products - so pop down to your Boots now if you want to buy any new Revlon products. However I only bought two balms and my mum bought another one for herself. Initially I only wanted to try the matte balms because I've heard so many positive things about them and not as much about the lacquer balms, however I thought that the colour range for the lacquer balms was slightly better - at least at this Boots, there were more lacquer balms to choose from. Anyway, I picked up Sultry which is one of the matte balms (a pinkish, nude colour) and Vivacious (more of a bright pink colour).

 I'm planning to do a review on the Revlon balms once I've used them a few times, so comment down below if you would like to see this!

 

Also for my blog, I am planning to do monthly favourites within the first few days of the next month and ootd's a few times a month. Please comment down below if you would like to see these and also if you have any other great ideas that I could blog about!

 

Have you been shopping recently? What did you buy?

 

Lots of Love
