Shopping Haul, feat. Hollister, Orla Kiely & Local Shops!

Hey Everyone!

I apologise for my lack of blogging as of late, so here's a haul of some items I've purchased in recent weeks. The shops I bought from were Hollister, Orla Kiely and a couple of local shops in my area.  I was checking my emails and found that several sales were going on and of course, I couldn't resist! 

First up is this gorgeous purse from the Orla Kiely website. Orla Kiely is an Irish designer and I'm a big fan of supporting local and Irish. My last purse was quite dark so this new purse has injected a pop of colour into my handbag (also an Orla Kiely design - can you tell that I like her designs?) I will admit that I only buy her designs when they're on sale as I'm a student with very limited spending power!

After that, I went onto the Hollister website. which coincidentally was also having a sale. (Sales are my favourite thing, okay) I picked up this pretty long-sleeved top. It's really soft and cosy - perfect for Winter! I generally wear short-sleeves so this will be wonderfully warm in the coming months.

I adore hoodies so I bought this one on the Hollister website too. It's really roomy and so warm! It's very spacious and generous for its size - a rarity for Hollister! It's perfect for chilly evenings. 

Also in Hollister, I picked up this light, white t-shirt. Like the hoodie, it's very roomy and made of a wonderfully soft fabric. I haven't worn this t-shirt yet but it'll be perfect should the Summer decide to return. (Fingers crossed!)

I was going around my local shops and came across this stunning bag. I'll most likely be bringing it to the Debs in August. The bag sparkles in sunlight and I just adore it. 

A new arts & craft shop opened recently, so obviously I had to go for a little peek even though I wouldn't be the definition of an artist. (I felt inspired to make my own cards after leaving though, which is a start) I came across the butterfly, unicorn and cow stickers which are unbelievably adorable. I'll definitely be making more trips to try release my inner ''artist'' (I'll be positive seeing as I can barely draw a straight line)

Summer Haul!

Hey Everyone!

I was doing some Summer shopping lately and decided that I should show you some of the items I bought. Last week I went for a little trip to Penneys (Primark) as well as some of the local shops in my town.

After reflecting upon the photos, I realised that I have quite the penchant for turquoise. My bedroom was actually turquoise for several years until I changed the colour scheme to white and pink. Perhaps it's my conscience attempting to cling to the calming effect of the turquoise? Who knows, probably I just really like the colour.

As I sat down and began to type this post, I realised I forgot an item or two so they're down below. Have you been doing any shopping or picked up any bargains recently? Let me in the comments!

I got this cute little bag in Penneys. I'm planning on using it as a pencil case in September, it's sure to brighten any mood. 

I picked up this beautiful blouse in a local shop today that had a half price sale. I adore the collar and lace detail. 

While I bought the white blouse, I also saw these turquoise skinny jeans. The photos don't do these jeans justice, they're more green in sunlight. 

Another local shop was doing a summer sale and I bought this Superdry t-shirt. It's really comfortable, cosy and fits really well. 

Amongst my escapades, I bought my debs shoes! (ssh, I bought my dress and am waiting for it to arrive, you'll see photos of it after the debs in August!)

I have to admit, I fell in love with these shoes and they've a small heel so I'll be able to walk in them too!

This pair of white sandals are so comfortable. I generally don't wear sandals but I really like this pair. I'll be wearing these for sure on warm days. 

I have been waiting to buy a pair of Skechers for a good while now and finally did! This pair also featured in last weeks blog post which you can see here.

I saw this top in Penneys and loved it! It's a very thin material so I'm planning on wearing it with a bright fuchsia pink t-shirt underneath to emphasise the delicate detail. 

I picked up this gorgeous black clutch in TK Maxx a couple of weeks ago. It'll be ideal for nights out so I'm not carrying my Orla Kiely bag around! 

I hope you enjoyed my Summer Shopping Haul! 

I'll try post again soon, tomorrow I'm heading up to Dundrum with Grace for a Summer meet up so expect a blog post about that. 

Stay Strong, Happy and Fearless,
