Part 1 - Huge Matalan Haul...

Hi again! So yesterday I went on a big shopping haul in Matalan and well, I got A LOT, needless to say!

 

 

As soon as I walked into Matalan, guess what I saw - a whole rack devoted to Christmas jumpers! Yes, I know some of you may think its too early but honestly, I can't wait! Anyway, I thought that this jumper looked the best because it has lots of shiny sequins on and has a cute reindeer on <3

 

Then I saw LOADS of woollen jumpers and I really liked the look of this over-sized chunky grey one that has zip detail going down the bottom side of it, I don't know if you can see it very clearly from this photo but I think it makes it look a bit nicer rather than being really plain.

 

 

Next, I got these grey jeans which I think are really cool because they have zip detail above both of the knees. Unfortunately, I found out after I had tried them on, that they didn't open up but I still liked them so I still got them!

 

 

I think this is a really nice jumper-style top, because I love the black shoulder pads and the collar as I just think that collars look cute anyway. Don't really know why, but I do! It also has three-quarter sleeves which I think is good because, especially at this time of year, I find it feels warm one moment and then the next moment, you feel cold. Well, at least I do anyway!

 

 The next thing that I got was these blue yoga pants that have such a cool pattern on the front of the legs, don't you think? There was another pair that were red with the same pattern but I prefer blue. These yoga pants are really good, they have a lot of stretch, even in the waistband which is good and it is very flattering which I think is partly the material it is made of and how there is a dark side and a lighter side to the legs making them look more well-toned. That's what I think anyway!

 

 

 The next thing that I got was this, what I think is a really cool-looking hoody that is made specifically for fitness like running and biking, to be honest, I don't know when I am going to properly use this at the moment but hopefully I can find something to use it for soon! I think that the material they used for this very cleverly thought through as well, because it is supposed to be antibacterial so when you sweat, it hopefully won't smell as bad! And it is also quick-drying so if you get caught in the rain, you can just leave it to air-dry if you want or if you want to wash it in between using it then you can hopefully leave it for a reasonably short time depending on what state it's in. It is also very stretchy like the yoga pants so you can do basically anything in it.

 

That's all for Part 1 of this HUGE shopping haul but I am going to be back to give you the 2nd part very soon, I promise! But for now, post soon xx

**Who has heard Perfect by One Direction, and seen the video - the video is perfect!! Excuse me for the sad pun I just did there. ;) It's got quite a cool idea around it because one of the lyrics of the song is something like "Do things we shouldn't do in hotel rooms" and in the video they are doing things they aren't meant to do in a hotel like messing up the room and... playing golf? That's what I got from it anyway, haha!**



11 of my Favourite Things in my Room...

Hey there! I am finally writing this blog which I am so happy about because I was worried I was NEVER going to be able to get round to it! Anyway... I was a bit stuck for ideas for this blog post because I didn't want to do a makeup one as I think I've been doing those sort of posts a lot recently but then I thought of showing some of the things I own in my bedroom and I came up with this... So here's 11 of my Favourite Things in my Room!

 

 

1. CUSHIONS... I have loads of them, they are literally everywhere and I can't stop collecting them so yeah... basically I am crazy about cushions... :)

 

 

2. My lava lamp because it just looks so pretty!!! <3

 

 

3. This mirror that I got quite recently actually, it is really cool as it has a magnifying-mirror side and a normal mirror side. I got it because I was struggling to see my earrings in a normal mirror as my glasses can get in the way of putting them in so then I can't see them to do it. Plus - now I can put on detailed eye makeup on slightly better!

 

4. My desk chair because it spins and... well, that's nearly all it takes to get me to do my homework!

 

 

5. My pretty flower jewellery stand that I like to show off as much jewellery on it as possible! One of my Aunties gave it to me because she didn't want it anymore but I love it. <3

 

 

6. This is my book shelf (or part of it because honestly you don't want to see the two bottom ones - they're a mess!) because I do really like to read its just that sometimes I don't get enough time in the day to do it as much which for me anyway is annoying as when I'm actually sitting reading a book, I can't stop reading it for a while after! At the moment I'm reading Paper Towns by John Green - I am enjoying it so much and I can't wait to get it on DVD! Hoping I will get it for Christmas or birthday!

 

7. My trusty CD player that has never failed me for all of these years and continues to play amazing music thanks to my brilliant taste in music! Not to get ahead of myself though... ;)

 

8. My remote-controlled candle which has so many different colours to choose from and even a multi-colour option for a private disco!

 

9. My huge makeup box because I literally have nearly every makeup item you could possibly think of in there, like its really hard just to lift it up!

 

10. My beautiful jewellery box which has the rest of my jewellery in but its mainly got bracelets and a few rings in because obviously I can't fit everything on my jewellery stand!

 

11. Last but certainly not least, all of my pictures because each of them hold such special memories or just mean something to me.  These aren't all of them because I couldn't fit them all into one space and some of them have mine and others' faces in and I am meant to be anonymous so yeah... :)

 

That was all for this blog post, to be honest with you I don't know why I have an odd number of favourite things in my room but I thought I had counted 20 things. Turns out that I am extremely bad at maths and my counting is terrible! But what can you do? ;) Anyway, I hope you liked it, please feel free to look through my other blog posts that I've done if you're a new reader and I will post soon xx

 

**Who has heard Little Mix's new song Love Me Like You? Or seen the video because I think the story in the video is so cool! Also if you're a brilliant expert in the fields of dyeing hair can you please comment a good semi-permanent hair dye that you recommend as I really want to try out a dark brown hair colour on my hair before I even think of getting it done permanently!**
