So much for shopping.

After getting my results and the fact that the non-uniformed days are now gone means my parents had no
choice but to give me money to go shopping. It didn't exactly go like that but close enough. The point I'm trying to make is that I am not into anything that's in the shops at moment. How was I able to come home from Oxford street with 2 pairs of jeans and heat protection spray? That says a lot. I decided to come home and evaluate my wardrobe so I could work out what I needed. Again, that didn't go too well. I did go to Westfield on Monday which wasn't the worst, but still I didn't get much. I think the issue is having a large sum of money. When I have no money I can click 'Add to basket' endlessly, then when I do have money I think stupid things like "do I really need this?" Summer ends in 7 days so I need to get my act together. Maybe tomorrow be will the day of success. I can only hope!

Me being the independent 16y/o that  I am, had to take a picture of the shoes in Office and send it to my mum to help me pick which ones to get. The final verdict was the dark red...then my size was out of stock.

Recent buys + Ramble.

 I did a little bit of shopping about two weeks ago in preparation for EEC (End of Exams Celebration)...my school's take on a prom! I didn't buy a new dress simply because I knew it wasn't going to be an extravagant event, instead I accessorised. In the first picture you can see the 5 of the 7 items I purchased, the other were boring ( the purple cardigan I'm wearing the photo and a plain grey top). I found the beautiful collar (pictured below) on sale in Topshop for £7 which I would have been foolish to ignore, I then wore that with my dress to look a bit more fancy.
 I also bought a pair of simple frilly (what I like to call primary school) socks in a oaty/off-white colour which were £3.50. I went to Primark to find a cardigan or blazer to wear with my dress but I simply wasn't impressed...Primark and I have a love/hate relationship. Instead I left with two jewellery pieces. Firstly a really cute, gold rose patterned bracelet. I was sceptical at first as it's not the type of piece I'd usually opt for but I took the "risk" and got, it was only £4 and then a cute, kitsch-looking 12 pack of earrings.
 Again I've heard tonnes about Primark earring but I thought I'd try them out for myself, they were/are perfectly fine. I actually really like them because they're a cheap version of something you'd find in accesorize for at least £8 and mine were but a mere £2.50.
 The last item I bought was the NYC Sky Rise lengthening mascara. I LOVE IT. It's honestly so simple yet it does wonders to my tightly curled lashes. I had bought the Rimmel London Scandeleyes a few days before but I really wasn't impressed. The best thing about this purchase (NYC) was that it was meant to be £2.49 but I hit my first 100 points on my Superdrug card so I got £1 off! Lol I think I understand why grown ups are so obsessed with clubcard/nectar points, the sense of achievement is just so...fulfilling!

P.S I've finally finished school for Summer!

Summer's soon approaching!

I've never been so excited to leave school before in my life. Especially as I'm leaving secondary school I thought I'd be wanting to hold on and what not, but apparently not. I have ONE exam left, you have no clue how amazing it feels to write that. Maths on Tuesday then I'm done...with my GCSE's that is. To make matters worse I have the flu at the moment so my motivation to revise is minimal but I promise I will do some hardcore revision for a majority of tomorrow.

I recently made an online purchase at Urban Outfitters because they're having a sale, which is amazing as they're stuff is far from cheap but it's usually so nice that you convince yourself it's worth it. I ordered a lovely    cropped farisle (ish) jumper, I know it's summer and so I shouldn't be buying knitwear I can help it. Plus I'm trying to build my wardrobe from scratch for when I start sixth form, so that's another reason why. I'm going to be doing a lot of shopping for sixth form nearer the end of summer so many posts will be made.

Here's the jumper: it looks a bit boxy on her but it'll be fine.

Have a lovely day.
