Portugal Holiday Big Shopping Haul

Ok. Let's be honest. I might have gone slightly overboard. But Portugal is probably one of the best places to go shopping in Europe. So I'll show you some of the things I bought when I visited Portugal.

 I'll start off with the things I bought in Primark: a black bandeau bra, grey gym leggings a cookie stamp and a pair of tweezers, because I forgot mine at home.

 A pair of basic, black non-slip hangers, which happened to be reduced. Lucky me.

A really cute cushion which doesn't exactly fit my room, but I bought it anyways because the ones I had, literally started to fall apart... :/

 I bought all of these treasures at Pull&Bear. I must have been in a very summerlike mood, as a lot of the things I bought aren't winter-suitable. I treated myself to a lace strappy top, high-waisted shorts, a striped longsleeve top and a jumper with the pull&bear logo.

 These necklaces came in a set of three. I really liked the idea of mixing silver with gold. The dainty heart one is my favourite.

The next shop I bought something from was Stradivarius. They had a really nice summer dress, a pair of distressed denim shorts and a really cute light-knit jumper.

 Zara was a lot cheaper and had a larger variety of items. I just had to buy this gigantic jumper because every time I wear it I look like a giant fluffy marshmallow.

 Because the things cost a lot less, I bought 2 pairs of jeans, which I absolutely adore because they fit perfectly. I sometimes really have trouble finding jeans that fit exactly how I need them to fit.

 Then, I bought these two mini perfumes which came in an adorable packaging. They're just the cutest thing ever.

Additionally, I bought this autumnal coat, because the only thing I had for the transitional time was a rain jacket and a winter coat, which obviously is just way too warm for autumn. I really like the style of this coat because it is very chic, but still remains somewhat casual.

Sun hat from Claire's. No explanation needed. Read the title.

Basic, black gym shorts from oysho. Really warm and cosy inside, even though nobody would expect that.

 Aaaah, this kimono. I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to wear this. Next summer? Maybe... I guess I'll have to wear this at home. BTW this is from Bershka.

This top is from Bershka as well. I thought it would look great with a cardigan, some shorts and a dainty necklace.

 Let's talk shoes. I basically just bought two pairs because I didn't feel the urge to buy more. Most of them are available at home anyways. Pair one are some havaianas in white-gold with a metal logo.

And pair two are these totally comfy sandals in black and rose gold.

New bikini in purple which I bought at the end of season sale at Calzedonia.

 Childish things I get at Accessorize when I need a frosting bag with a big nozzle and things are reduced. The lady at the till asked me whether it was a present for somebody and she should wrap it...

Spontaneous necklace purchase at Accessorize (which BTW is one of my favourite shops, they just have so many small things and accessories and especially things I don't really need, but somehow need...)

 These two treasures were bought at the wish concept store in LX Factory (they're just open a certain day of the week) They had loads of gorgeous things in there ( check out Day 5 of my Portugal Holiday series) and this is what I decided to buy. A week planner and cute washi tape.

 This lip gloss is amazing. It changes colours as soon as it touches your lips. I don't think that I have ever seen this brand before but they've definitely got great things there.

 When I went shopping for water and stuff, I picked up a vanilla caramel tea (which is a flavour I didn't know before) and strawberry powder to put into water and drink which just looked delicious as it was. I can really recommend the vanilla caramel tea

 I bought some Globos de Neve ( bonbons ) for my friends as well. They don't taste of anything except sugar, which can be quite nice sometimes.

 2 bags that are just way too gorgeous to not show you. The one on the left is a paper bag I got from the wish concept store and the other one is from Accessorize.

Huge Primark Homeware and Fashion Haul

I haven't been to Primark in a long time (which is actually due to not having a shop in or around Munich ), so I decided to go to the next Primark (which is in Austria ) with a friend. So here's an overview of what I've bought at Primark yesterday.

As you can already see I had to carry 2 bags around. So yeah HUGE PRIMARK HAUL.

 

I bought this Hoodie, just because it's the softest warmest comfiest thing ever. But

seriously, it's very fluffy and soft on the inside and usually I try to find comfy fashionable things when I go to Primark. Et voila. It's exactly that.

 

So here's another Jumper. Although this one has a V-neck, I really like it. I like the material, as it is very soft and stretchy. I'm actually not 100% sure whether this is a regular long-sleeved shirt or a jumper. Anyway, I really like that it's nice and baggy.

 

These shorts are going to be used for fitness or something like that.

 

I bought a seamless bandeau top/bra (not sure whether it's the one or the other ), as I have some really baggy tops, which let people see my bra (...). They had one in black and a couple of lace ones as well, but I wanted to keep it basic.

These just had to go into my shopping bag, as they're just so cute and I just couldn't resist.

Egg shaped makeup sponge. I was just wondering if this actually worked ( A friend of mine suggested to try this out ). Totally fancy the packaging. Polka dots are kind of my thing.

I thought this 5 piece ring set would look stunning on tanned skin like mine. As I'm naturally tanned all year round, this might be worth wearing in combination with some wintery clothes ( Yes, I'm already thinking about winter...). I really like the second one from the top because it reminds me of branches. I am always looking out for pretty rings at Primark as they're cheap and usually last longer than other rings .

Now on to the home ware items. This throw is cream coloured and really soft ( You might have noticed that I really like fluffy and soft things ). They had this in cream, grey and red.

Aaah. This scent... So intense. Even if you're like quite a bit away. I walked by the home ware section and everything was sweet, flowery scented. The vanilla coconut one is a lot like coconut milk. You'll definitely like the vanilla violet one, if you like Parma Violets. The only thing that I can't actually smell is the vanilla, but even without these candles smell amazing.

 The last thing I bought were these hangers. They were one of the main reasons I decided to go to Primark. 1. They're fluffy 2. They're non-slip 3. They're super slim, which means that you can fit a whole lot more of clothes into your wardrobe. As far as I'm concerned they had light blue & dark blue ones and beige & brown ones in a set of ten. I really wanted to have the black ones, but I didn't see them anywhere, so I first of all paid for the blue ones and when I was finished paying I saw the black ones in one of the boxes.... I asked the lady whether I could just exchange them like that  ( I was in a hurry )  but I had to go to the customer service. So, yeah... But now I've at least got what I wanted. :D

Victoria's secret must buys

I usually don't go into a Victoria's secret to buy pants, but most mid-50 men think I do so they were grinning when I passed them.... Wierd people are running around , wierd people.... So, yeah.

Here's what I actually bought

A vanilla lace hand and body cream, a sensual blush body lotion and a coconut passion body spray. They were just the scents I liked the most. I intended to buy something blue-ish or purple-ish, but I thought these products were a lot more appealing regarding the scent.

A shiny lipgloss melon flavoured.

Unfortunately the victoria's secret I went to didn't have my favourite ( cotton candy  or something similar) so I took the second best sweet lipgloss.

I love shopping ( Haul )

Too much money has defenitely been splurged this weekend on shopping.

Continue reading and see...

A small tin of loose rose green tea from Kusmi. Delicious. Just had one with homemade macarons. Smells intensively of rose. And what I like most about this tea is that it isn't as bitter as other green teas. I can really recommend this, if you want to buy a precious little present for a good friend.

Zara sandals. I thought these were adorable. Cute heel cut-outs. One of my favourite colours. Light-blue. Some pretty, decent golden accents.

Zara jumper with elbow patches. Dropped hem. Velvety patches. Stretchy and light material. I think it would look kind of sophisticated combined with a colourful skater skirt and brown smooth leather brogues. If you would wear some horn-rimmed glasses and had some coffee from starbucks, I'd think you were a university student.

I peeped inside my favourite macaron shop and bought three macarons.

Violet, rose and cassis. Too delicious... 

Facial cleansing and massage pad in pink. Just because everybody who wants to have smooth baby skin needs it. Incredibly relaxing. Not that pricey, but totally worth buying.

Last but not least... A Michael Kors bag.

I just love the simple look of this bag and that it goes with any outfit no matter what colour. Pretty golden details. I bought the smaller version because I don't like walking around with a big, bulky bag with nothing inside but air. I think that this bag has got enough space for your purse, phone, makeup bag, tablet and a water bottle.

Big Christmas shopping haul ( Primark, New look, Boots and more)

It's the time of year everybody goes shopping and the cities are crowded. The christmas market in my city takes away all the space for the pedestrians.  But anyway here's what I bought over the last couple of weeks. I hope you'll find something you like or at least last minute christmas present inspiration.

I bought 2 jumpers because I really needed something warm. The black one was £12 and is from Primark. I like the little crochet collar. I think that the jumper looks very similar to one I saw on asos.

The pink jumper is from New look and was originally £24.99, but apparently it had a 10£ discount. The weird thing about this is that it didn't say that anywhere in the shop. But anyway, the jumper is super cozy and incredibly warm. 

I just love cute socks. The animal ones were £8 from next for 4 pairs. I saw them and they were just too cute to leave in the shop. The strawberry ones are from New look and cost £1.99. They had a offer 3 for £4 but they didn't have other nice socks. 

Yeah I'm kind of a sock addict. The cozy socks are £2 for 2 pairs from Primark. The ruffled ones are £1.50 each and look like the ones from river island or topshop. I think they'd look fantastic in some ankle boots. I also bought some super cozy tights. They're winter essentials and only £3.50. 

I bought the maybelline ny bb cream from boots in universal glow for £7.99, the bourjois color boost in orange punch for £7.99 too, the barry m gelly nail polish in blueberry and maybelline baby lips in peach kiss, pink punch and intense care. Boots had a 3 for 2 offer and you got a limited edition cherry velvet lip balm too. 

I've finally completed my baby lips collection. I also bought the clear nail polish and a lipstick in betanik from topshop. They were £6 and £8.

 Rainbow baby lips

Now some sweets. A Cadbury christmas box for £1.50 and 2 advent calendars (forgot how much they were ) from tesco.The bon bons were £1.99 and from new look. The yo yos were 48 pence each from wilko. They're really nice if you're on the go to put into your handbag. I bought chewing gum from boots for £1.70 (mentos) and 55 pence (each extra).

Some stocking stuffer ideas: 

Pearl nail polish set £2.50 primark

Mini shower gel £1 primark

3 nail files £1 primark

Love bracelet £4 river island (they had a silver 'wish' one too) 

Bows £3.99 New look 

More stocking stuffers:

Floral scented handcream £2 marks&spencer ( They had a 3 for 2 offer)

Cozy socks £3.50 primark 

Make up sets £2 ( all of them, even the smaller ones )

All these items are from New look. 

The top was £19.99 and it just looks amazing with black skinny jeans for £9.99. The love frame was reduced to £3 and it looked just so cute. I also bought a burgundy skater skirt from the kids section which I thought was £9.99, but was actually reduced to £7 . 

All these pajama bottoms are from primark. The robin ones and the star ones are super soft and cozy and were £6 each. The panda one was £7 and has a fleece lining inside.

I wish you a very happy Christmas or if you don't celebrate just happy holidays. 

Janet ❤️
