Spring has Sprung

I felt people might need a little Spring pick me up, after all, these dreary days seem endless. Here's what to look forward to...

Primark S/S 2012

Being a Primark fan I always look forward to seeing the latest collection, especially as Primark don't have a website. I thought I'd share some of my favourite looks and pieces with you, but you can the full collection here.

These are my three most favourite looks, mainly due to my love of collars! I only really like the blouse in the middle look, not sure about those shorts or the wedges. The third look is my top favourite as the sweetheart neckline with the little peter pan collar and buttons is just so so cute! It's also a bit of a steal at £17 too!

Both £8
I like both of these blouses, I think I prefer the white though. Which one do you prefer?

Blouse: £10 | Trousers: £12
I love how clean and crisp the shirt is. I actually saw this before Christmas but I let it go, it's calling me again now!
I'm not really keen on these trousers but I do really like the belt and the colour of them, I hope Primark do them in a jeans version.

Dalmatian top: £8
I thought this car patterned top was a bit different, I quite like it. I've noticed that with this collection, there's a pattern to suit everyone!
You might recognise this top... ;)

I like this zigzagged playsuit, the colours are really nice.
I love the array of different patterns on this navy dress (although I think it's actually a playsuit, they call it a dress?!) The three quarter length sleeves are cute, along with the flared bottom.

Primark's accessories are definitely one of my favourite things to shop for, especially when you can snap up some lovely things for a few pounds! The little red and navy bags are sweet, and that lock is very Mulberry-esque...! The apple bag is ridiculously cute, and reminds me of the Hello Kitty apple, I'm so tempted. I like the snakeskin belt too, it's a nice way to incorporate a bit of snakeskin without looking too OTT.

What's your favourite piece from the collection?

Bumblebee Nails

With Spring just around the corner (hopefully/maybe/you never know with Britain) and seeing this video pop up on my Youtube Subscriptions list I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon with these nails!

I smudged the bee :( Then I got a bit carried away and did some matching make up and took about 100 photos of the nails and make up and wasn't really happy with any of them! 

Also, does anyone know any good online/free photo editing programs? My Paint Shop Pro trial ran out and the disc I have doesn't work with Windows 7.

Spring Term

My current favourite shop Jack Wills, gave me a sneaky preview of the new Spring Term collection. I always get shockingly excited for these things especially when I wasn't expecting to see anything until the 12th January!

First thing I saw was the Kirkbridge Gilet in a new colour... I'm so so pleased I didn't ask for a Gilet for Christmas, because I swear everyone got/has one. Gain a bit of individuality people! They do look dead nice on though. Continued scrolling down the page, and all I really see is the same as last season churned out in different colours and styles. I know that JW are like that, but these all seem a bit too similar for my liking. Oh well.

I do like this t-shirt though. Not sure about the v neck?! Definitely have to see it in the flesh. The floral underwear is also really pretty, but I did just get a JW's undies. I also had a sneak peek at the mens stuff because I fancy a boyfriend cardigan - nothing grabbed me though!

I guess the Homewares was the most exciting bit for me! I love this cushion despite it being well out of my price range! This umbrella is on my wishlist, it's pretty cool.

I'm also really drawn to this giant paperclip, lol! I've been meaning to get some sort of notice board which I can collage and put random stuff on in my room for a while now. I think this would set it off very nicely!

And so there's my round-up of the Spring Term so far. I'm pretty disappointed with the clothing, it all seemed very bland if I'm honest. Hopefully there will be some more pieces which have a bit of pattern on and some without JACK or WILLS slapped on it. I guess that's what people want though nowadays. Personally, I'm not a walking label.
