Hi there fellow spend-a-holics! 

I know i might have mentioned i was on some sort of spending ban of late, but clearly i have the will power of Rik Waller (remember him?) when faced with a chocolate fudge cake.

Who else thinks Primark is on fire at the moment?!

It's full of studs and Zara/Topshop dupes, so technically i think i've been canny and saved money by buying the dupes instead of the real thing (don't burst my bubble).

I'll do clothes first, as they're not as exciting as other stuff.

 This is basically just a plain jersey top with a peter pan collar, nothing special right?, apart from the fierce spikes of course! 

I just love this top, and for only £8 i think it's great value, i've worn it loads already.

I love me some white lace, it makes you look so tanned don't you think?!

This is a playsuit (so if you're wearing this on a night out make sure you have friends who will wait for you for half an hour outside the toilets, if you've worn one you'll know what i mean!) with sheer panelling at the chest area, it's not the most flattering of clothing items i must admit but i really love it! This was £15, it comes with a belt which is an ok belt, i'll keep it to wear with something else.

Ooooooh hi pretty thang!

My boyfriend bought me these, they're basically a dupe for the Topshop Vectra's, and they're so gorgeous, but i'm going to take them back to Primark and exchange them for a new pair because some of the studs have fallen off after one wear! So i'd say that these aren't the best quality at all, i wasn't even doing anything exerting, just sat in my friends house having a takeaway and some studs fell off! For £12 i'd have expected more to be honest so bear that in mind if you're going to buy these.

These are such cute little staple shoes, how long they'll last me is anyones guess but they were only £6 and they're SO comfy, a change from the usual flat pumps.

Basically the same as the shoes above but in this gorgeous leopard print, I'm a complete sucker for leopard print things, as long as it doesn't look too cheap, i think there's a lot of room for error with this print! These were only £6 as well.

I lovelovelove these dainty little flats, really pretty, obviously they'll get dirty pretty quickly if you don't look after them but if you're worried about that then you can also get these in black :) They're only £8, i think they look extremely Topshop-ish!

 Got this really pretty lipstick which was only £1 so i thought i'd give it a go! It smells really really strongly of ''cheap lipstick'' if you know what i mean, like the smell of the first ever lipstick you owned as a child, it's not entirely unpleasant for me but some will find it very cloying! It's a bit drying, but with a gloss over the top it's a straightforward candy pink.

I also bought this tanning mousse for £2.90, i haven't tried it yet, i'll be testing this and a few others out in a ''budget tanning'' blog post, but my friend has tried it and she's loving it! So fingers crossed :)

Some new PJ bums! These are so pretty and Christmassy, i know it's only August but let's face it, with the weather we're having in the UK why not just look forward to Winter?! These are a fiver and SO comfy, it should be illegal.

Now onto the most exciting purchases, handbags!!

It's so strange for me to be so excited about handbags because i never used to bother with them much, i used to be so much more into heels, but since i stopped being able to wear heels (i injured my ankle by falling over on a particularly high pair of platforms, clever huh?!) i'm SO much more into bags!

 As soon as i saw this tote bag i was in love, it's SO soft, literally like butter, you can fit loads of stuff in it so it'd be perfect for school or college (or just if, like me, you carry around loads of unnecessary crap).

The silver flat top studs down the sides and at the base of the handles makes it look so expensive i think, it was £12.

Probably the biggest bargain of this post, this is such a exact dupe for the Zara studded clutch that's been all over the blogging world recently, it has a wrist strap which is handy for nights out and a leather tassle which just adds some detail and stops it being a bit boring, this beauty was only £6!! Seriously good value!

 Lastly, but by no stretch of the imagination leastly, this gorgeous Zara dupe bag!

It's so well made first of all, when you feel it it feels so expensive and thick, the seam running along the bottom of it on the first pic is only on one side, which is a bit weird but by no means puts me off it! 

You can see from the close up pictures of the hardware that it looks like it'll really last, hopefully it won't prove me wrong! 

Inside it's so spacious with the gorgeous chocolate brown interior, i really can't say enough about this bag!!

It was only £12, which is insane to me! I think it looks at least £30 worth of bag <3 what a steal!!

So my advice to you all is to get yourselves down Primark, they're killing it this season!

Thanks for reading :)
