last week me and a couple of my friends went on a mini shopping trip to get a couple of bits and bobs, i didn't buy a ridiculous amount of items, however i spent a lot more that i anticipated. most of the items i bought are from topshop however a couple of pieces are from elsewhere.
clothes:
primark
i only bought one thing from primark which is this basic long sleeve grey crop top, it was so cheap only being a pound so i thought it would be pretty stupid of me to pass the offer
topshop
i went on a bit of a splurge in topshop and bought a couple of pricy items
the first item i bought was this tartan top; 
the tartan trend will always have a place in my wardrobe and I thought that this piece would look perfect, the main pattern is red and blue and the sleeves create a contrast which i thought was a really nice touch, and made it a bit more interesting. it was around £26, which is a good price considering it is one of my go to items
i went back to basics again and bought another two basic tops, the first of the two is the plain white cropped tank, it was only £6 and is just a nice thing to have in my wardrobe
again, i thought it would be a good piece to layer up and would be good for on holiday, the only fault with this item is that the neck line is more square than i expected, but other than that it is a really nice fit.
the second top is this high neck black top 
they are in the same style as the american apparel disco pants however they are not as well dotted / as tight. it's always good to have a good pair of trousers in your wardrobe so £28 seemed a reasonable price
this one was £16 and will again be good to layer and wear with skirts, the high neck makes it different to the other couple of basics that i bought and makes outfits look a bit more formal
after my favourite pair of tartan trousers ripped, i thought it was about time i reinvested in a new pair of trousers
i was hoping to get a new pair of tartan trousers however all they had were leggings, this pair of trousers stood out to me because they have a unique pattern
i went a bit crazy when buying this last item but i couldn't resist, i originally bought this beautiful metallic dress for a twist on my bambi costume (futuristic bambi maybe?) for a fancy dress party but i thought it would be an amazing statement piece and is just amazing to look at 
it is a blend of metallic pinks and brown and shows up different colours in different light (in the picture it looks more pink) this is one of the priciest dresses that i have purchased since buying my prom dress last year as it cost me £75, it is definitely one of my favourite pieces however i did find a small fault in the sizing when trying it in as it comes smaller in the chest area, other than that it is perfect.
beauty / accessories:
i only bought a couple of bits before i go on a proper beauty shop
i was in a desperate need of a new eyebrow pencil so i bought a cheap pencil for the time being from miss sporty 
the picture makes the colour look a lot darker than it actually is and it's in the shade 018. i actually found that this is one of the favourite products that I have used on my brows and the colour is perfect and the tip is neither too thick or thin and can be sharpened to the desired thickness
i ordered a big pack of eyelashes from japan off ebay to use everyday or when i go out, i don't know the name of them however i have previously used them before and was pleased with them the first time. when i ordered them the first time i was feeling a bit optimistic as they were only 99p and the quality was bound to be awful, however i discovered that they were good quality dispute the cheapness. the only problem is they do not come with glue therefore you have to buy that seperately
a couple of days after our shopping trip me and my friend visited roman road whilst we were out in london, while we were there i bought this pair of black cat eye sunglasses for £8
i have been after a pair for quite a while and these sunglasses are really good quality and fully polarised
the final item in this haul is a 12 pcs set of spiral stretchers that i ordered from eBay, i have been wanting to stretch my ears for i while now but i haven't yet received my parcel. when i receive the set i shall do a post on the product and the process
