Primark/Penneys Come Clean Mitt - *REVIEW*

I had some time to kill on my lunch break today so like most days I hit up Penneys for a little look. I did have to pick up another bottle of my favourite Garnier Miccellar Water (the pink one FYI) so that was my excuse for going in (like I needed one!!!).

When I spotted the 'Come Clean Mitt' with 3 in a pack for €3, I immediately threw it in my basket. I'd seen it mentioned previously on Facebook in a 'coming soon' style post. Years ago when I was reaaaaallly into blogging I was sent a Cleanse Off Mitt when they were first released and I loved that thing with all my heart, until I threw it in the wash basket one day and it was never seen again!!

A Haul Because I'm A Shop-a-holic ft Penneys & New Look

Yes, I know, I've been away A LOT lately. 

The main reason is I've felt so guilty for not posting which resulted in me not posting AT ALL and burying my head in the sand. ITS A VISCIOUS CIRCLE.

But, I've missed you guys. So, I've come up with a new blogging schedule to take a bit of the pressure off of me, and also to give you all a bit of regularity so you know exactly when to expect a post.

I've decided to post every Monday. I would choose Sunday but lets face it if I go out after work on a Saturday night, we all know I'll be dying of a hangover the  next day and the last thing I'll want to do is stare at a computer screen. Mondays work out well also as the place I work is not open on Mondays. 

Now, onto the fun stuff. I don't know about you but I love hauls. I think its the noseyness in me. I love seeing what other people have bought. I'll see something I like but would never have known about without them showing it so I can keep an eye out for it next time in that particular shop.

The first item I got was this neon yellow dress in New Look. This was €25. I was in the dressing room trying stuff on and my Mam actually brought this into me. I wasn't gone on it on the hanger. I'm not a fan of the texture but its lovely on. Its a very thick heavy material. I think the colour goes well with my hair and will look amazing with a tan! It was the detail on the back that sold me. Its got one of those twists at the back.

OOTN - Outfit Of The Night 5/5/13

Dress: Penneys | Shoes: eBay (post up soon) | Belt: Unknown

Just a quick outfit of the night seeing as I rarely actually do these!

Apologies for the awful quality, these were taken on my iphone.

I actually wasn't even looking forward to going out, but it ended up being one of the best nights out in a long time! 

I love this lace dress from Penneys. I got it a while ago so I doubt its still in shops, but on the off chance you do happen to get it, I'd recommend getting a size smaller as these are quite large fitting. 

I hope you all had a good bank holiday weekend!

My Picks from Penneys/Primark Summer 2013

Hi guys so I saw Victoria from Victorias Vintage did a post showing her favourite items from Penneys/Primarks Summer 2013 collection and I really liked seeing what she picked (you can see hers here) as our styles would be quite different so I thought I'd share with you my favourite items and what I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for!

You can see the whole collection here so make sure and let me know what your favourite items are!

 Seeing these pieces really makes me excited for summer but I know in the back of my mind that chances are the weather will be absolutely shite here in Ireland so I'd never get to wear them.

Fingers crossed for a girly holiday ;)

Penneys Coral Cross Body Bag

AHHHH I'M SO EFFING EXCITED ABOUT THIS BAG!!

The minute I saw it I grabbed it and felt like dancing around the shop. 

I apologise for the awful photos, I took these at night because I just wanted to get this post up so if any of you liked the bag you could go get it too before they're gone!

The photos just don't do this bag justice! If you're in Penneys/Primark, keep an eye out for it and just have a look at it yourself!

Yes you're reading that right NINE EUROS?!!

I'm not sure if you can see the shape of the bag correctly in these photos, its hard to photograph the shape!

When you lift the 'flap' its shaped like a tote bag with the zip at the top.

Which is very handy for me as I stuff my crossbody bags full then when I go to take one thing out everything else on top of it falls out. At least with this, nothing will fall out as its all at the bottom of the bag!

The colour of this reminds me a lot of the Rebecca Minkoff bags. This bag comes in a beige/cream colour and also a black.

I think the colour will be perfect to liven up all black outfits and will be gorgeous in the summer!

I wish they had these in other colourful colours as well, I'd buy them all!
