Weekend Purchases. . .

Hello lovelies! I hope the weekend was good to everyone? Mine was a quiet affair, as I was working on Saturday but I did go into town on Sunday to watch the football with the fella. I was very bold and picked up a few bits and pieces while I was in town on Friday evening! I really shouldn't be spending at the moment, but it's my birthday week this week, so I reckon I'm allowed!! We won't mention the items that are in my online shopping baskets on various sites...ssshhhh!!) 

#1. Hightops €11 Penneys

#2. Essence nail polishes €1.29 each, Essence compact powder €4.39 Penneys

#3. Canvas Hightops €7 Penneys

#4. Ring €1.50 (on sale) Topshop

#5. Ring €1.50 (on sale) Topshop

#6. Polka dot tights €3.50 Penneys

#7. Lace dress €17 Penneys

#8. Skull burn out T-shirt €5 Penneys

I love this lace dress that I picked up in Penneys. You would not believe how soft it is!! It didn't photograph very well here, but it's really nice on. I wore it on Sunday so will stick proper photos up of it this week. I couldn't resist this skull print T-shirt and I'm sick of my plain black tights so bought these spotty ones to brighten things up! As we're coming into Spring, I will hopefully be putting my boots to the back of the wardrobe and reaching for lighter footwear like these hightops. Although the brown ones are lined with a lovely soft fleece and will keep my feet snug at the mo!

I'm obsessed with these knuckle duster style rings lately. The bigger the better! These were a steal at €1.50 each and the kind girl in Topshop gave me a 20% student discount on top of that. Nice. I have seen the Essence brand of make up in a couple of shops over the last few months but this is my first purchase from it. The nail polish is super cheap at €1.29 for 5ml. I bought Blue Addicted, a glittery dark blue with big flecks of green, Dress for a Moment, a pale lilac colour and Modern Romance, a peachy, blush shade. So far I've tried out the blue which is gorgeous and has lasted two days without chipping. I still haven't tried the powder as I need to purchase new make up brushes, but may do a review of it at some stage!

In other exciting news, I have now been added to the Galway studenty website and will be contributing to their fashion and beauty section. Check it out here. I will be tweeting when my articles are published so make sure you follow me here. I'm so honoured to be included :)

Have you bought anything interesting lately, or are you saving your pennies unlike me??
