Penneys Haul: Look Cat!! Whose Counting?

Despite actually closing Dodie (the cat) out of my room she still managed to jump in the window 2 seconds later and demand to be in the photos - well she wouldn't get off the bed and kept trying to eat everything. In cat language thats pretty much demanding. So please feel free to play spot the cat and ignore the total that all this comes to. Thanks xox

I went totally mad. Like, I lost the run of myself in Penneys not once but TWICE. I had a gift voucher to spend (so don't go thinking I've a secret money tree out the back there!) and I went back another day to pick up more shoes. They were perfect, cheap and I knew I would wear them thin half way through the summer. Smart thinking me! I also had a goo at their clothes - all divine pieces but after trying on 27 things in the changing room and not liking one, I said feck it.

(cat foot!) €4 bra and knickers set? Don't mind if I do!

Purple sparkly knickers €2

Boring black leggings €4

Black pumps €3 each (!)

I had been looking for a water bottle for ages but could only find the mad expensive ones in Tesco for €14 so when I was running out the door on the first trip to Penneys I knew I had o go back and get this for a tiny €3.

On the second trip back I also got another pair of black pumps. Go and buy them before they sell out. They are so comfy and will go with everything. You need them!

I also got these gorgeous girly blue pumps with little dots all over them - be still my beating heart! €5 

I have been searching for flower head bands and bam! Massive white roses €3 and smaller pink ones €2. You can also get the roses in pink.

Chocolate Bubbles&Butters lip butter €1.50

Essence 6in1 nail candies in always in my mint €2.29

Catrice prime and fine €4.99 

NYC expert last lipstick

9 pairs of earrings €3

Argan oil hair mask €2 - I think, can't remember!

Mini hair brush €1.50

Lovely big floral patchwork cushion €8

So there you go, just picked up a few bits.... Oh bonus tip, don't try getting on the Luas at rush hour with a massive cushion. It just wont work and you will not only be squashed but hit everyone you pass by. Its like a sport. I'd be good at that. Wow, a sport I might win at, this needs to become a thing... Tangent! 

Hope everyones having a great long weekend! x

Ikea Haul

I went to Ikea about two weeks ago and picked up a few bits. I'm going to be going back soon to get a new bed (isn't it just so pretty!?) and some lovely bedding. Oh how I love their bedding designs! But I went this time with the idea of getting a new table lamp. 

I got my granny a new plant pot €4.50 and a little cactus €3.50. She is a big fan of potted plants and different types of cacti also bonus points that she didn't have this type!

next I got my lovely owl lamp shade €7 and the plain black stand  for €5. I was a bit disappointed becasue the stand I wanted wasn't going to be back in stock until after Christmas, but looking at it now I think this is a nicer one. I was a bit shocked at the €7 bulb for it though. You can only buy Ikea bulbs for their products so thats a bit annoying. Lastly I couldn't leave the shop without the matching cushion cover that was €5 after seeing it just sitting there. I nabbed a plain cushion too which wasn't that expansive at €3.25.

Isn't it pretty!

I got a bit snap happy while I was walking around, taking photos of things I'd like or ideas for Christmas presents. I might have to have another long walk around the place next time I go, theres just too much I'd love to get in Ikea! Walking around looking at everything is a great way to spend the day too and then grabbing a cuppa or hot dog after, nom!

Hope everyone is having a brilliant day! Stay fab x
