PRIMARK BRALETTES | WHATS THE VERDICT?

I feel like Primark has a bad rep for their underwear selections as most of us will know they're deffo cheap but deffo not durable! They're great for basic underwear but they aren't going to last in the long run, so I was intrigued to purchase these bralettes! First of all they're super pretty and look so delicate on, they're really flattering and make you feel so sexy, which is so important because lingerie should never make you feel ugly! They range from £5 to £10 and come in so many colours, designs and styles. I've had the white bralette for over 2 months now and its still going strong, it is showing a few signs of wear and tear which I think is to be expected especially after getting washed so many times its always going to slightly fray (in the pic it looks like its slightly discoloured but its not it's just the lighting, promiseee). They all have adjustable straps which is honestly a life saver as I hate it when bras don't have them and you can never get the right fit! One thing I would say is be wary of the sizing, I've got a bigger bust so was worried about what size to get, the white and pink bralette are size 'M' and the green one is 'L' weirdly I feel like the 'M' bralettes fit me a lot better and are comfier than the 'L' one that is slightly smaller and doesn't fit as comfortably, also the green one has glittery thread in it which is so pretty but can irritate after a while especially as its a racer back, I find myself finding it slightly uncomfortable after a while. The great thing is that they all come with matching bottoms which are equally as cute so for £5/10 you're getting a whole underwear set that's pretty and will deffo last you.

A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS

This swimsuit really makes me want to be on holiday! Primark have got some super cute swimsuits/bodysuits in at the moment and its making me super excited for summer! Had to pick this cutie up, and for £4 it was an absolute steal! Although its a swimsuit I really like wearing it as a bodysuit with high waisted jeans or a denim skirt, it looks really cute with some dainty chokers too. It has a really low back which is great for sunbathing, and its surprisingly very good quality which for £4 I did not expect, it super comfy and makes me figure look great too! I'm definitely going to be picking up more designs!

This lip scrub from Lush is a saviour, I couldn't wait to start using it when I bought it and it smells so good! It honestly leaves my lips feeling so smooth, I love using it after my night skincare routine and follow it up with a nivea lip balm and my lips are so soft in the morning which is perfect before I apply my makeup, especially as I wear lipstick a lot and that can dry my lips out quite a bit. I had to choose bubblegum because it smells lushhh and tastes nice... I'm not even sure if you're supposed to lick it off but I shamelessly do! My boyfriend loves it too, hes always asking to use it!

How cute are these earrings that I made! I found these glittery pom poms in my craft box and thought they'd look great as a pair of earrings, I just added the earring components (i.e the little hooks) and super glued the bottom so they were very secure. They do look slightly christmassey but I love them so much that I'll still wear them whenever!

GET YOUR SUNNIES ON | MY CURRENT FAVE SUNGLASSES

I'm always on the look out for cute sunnies, especially ones that are cheap too because sunglasses are so easy to break when they're at the bottom of your handbag! I've always stuck with my trusty oversized sunglasses as the shape suits me best, but at the moment I find myself drawn to the more smaller shades like the bottom pair that are mirrored with a pink tint. They're super cute not only because they're pinky but because they're comfortable on your face which is a must-have!! Both pairs of sunglasses are from Primark, which has got to be my fave place to buy sunnies for pennies!! The top pair are perfect for the summer as they're so big, they're a great shape and really complement my face which is always a bonus when it comes to me buying sunnies, I love the design of them with the tortoise effect adding a little something to a black pair of sunnies! And after paying £5 for both of them I'm deffo happy with buying more!

CURRENT FAVES

Current faves are back and better than ever! How CUTE are these shoes!! I am so in love with these little block heels and what makes them even more loveable is the fact that they were only £1 in Primark! £1!! I mean I had to! But the colour of them is so pretty, a metallic silver/gunmetal and they look so nice paired with black jeans! Another item from Primark is this pink sparkly top that is so adorable with a thick choker and a dark pink lip, I've just realised I haven't featured a piece of clothing in any of my current faves, which is deffo gotta change! Face masks are life saviors and are the best when you wanna relax and cleanse your skin or before a big night out, the 'Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask' is my go-to face mask before a night out! It is so refreshing and moisturising, which is perfect before you apply your makeup leaving your skin feeling plump. A body butter which is always a must-have for great feeling skin, my fave being this Soap and Glory one called 'The Righteous Butter', it has the BEST smell ever and softens my skin which I find is especially great before I fake tan! Let me know what your current faves are!

MY 'SMALL' BAG ESSENTIALS

Everyone has there go-to 'small' handbag that is just the right size to fit everything in it that you need for the day. This one from Primark is my fave for days out shopping or even a meal out as you don't really need to fit that much in it. I love the chain strap and the colour of it is SO pretty! These are just a few of the essentials that I tend to throw in my bag, a mini perfume is vital if you wanna be smelling good all day! I have this mini one from New Look called Devotion and it smells lush, perfect size to have in my bag and grab whenever I need it! A lipstick and brow gel is always included in my bag for when I need that touch up through the day. I currently have the Seventeen lipstick in Fond Farewell and the Benefit Gimme Brow in the mini edition which is also perfect for the handbag. Another essential is of course my phone with a glittery cute case and my purse which I will admit takes up quite a bit of space in my bag but its gorge so how could I not include it!

My favourite.... chokers

I am a huge fan of chokers because they honestly go with every outfit, and there is just so many to choose from. These are some of my favourite chokers that I own, I love wearing them on casual college days to just add a little something to the outfit but wearing them on nights out are the ultimate essential.
