Shopping Haul!

Hello Everyone!

 Over Easter I did a lot of shopping! This was partly because I was in Bahrain, and the main mall there is a mixture of both British, American and European shops. This was heaven to me, and I dragged my friend shopping on numerous occasions. Yes, I probably spent WAY too much money, but I feel like I got so much! I've also added in some things that I purchased in the UK / my best friend gave me for my birthday (because we're so far away we don't get to see each other very often!) - Most of these things should still be in the shops, but I don't know where / how much they would be, as majority of things I bought in Bahrain!

This playsuit is from Pimkie, and I love it so much! Its got a zip all the way down the front and tightens at the waist, so totally makes me feel skinny! Its got an adorable collar, which I normally don't go for. My friend who I was staying with in Bah convinced me to buy this, because when it was on the hanger I wasn't so keen, but everytime I put it on, I love it! 

This adorable summer dress is from Aeropostale, and was super cheap! I remember that I got it for 7BD, when it was reduced from 21BD!! Its got a higher front, but still rests just above my chest, but I love the back on this number! Its a floral pattern which I'm still trying to figure out if it is black or navy, but its super comfortable and I love wearing it!

This dress is also from Aeropostale, and I got it again for 7BD (reduced from 21!)! I love the summery patterns on this! The skirt is white with a pattern, and it feels very vibrant. The waist goes in again, but I would say its a little less flattering than the other things I have! The one thing I loved about this was the back! Its fully open, with 3 strings which can be tied and adjusted to be comfortable for you, which is good if your chest is perhaps bigger than average! I love the patterns on this dress too!

This playsuit is the only piece of clothing which I purchased back in England. Its from River Island, and cost me £25! I only bought it recently, so it should still be on the shelves! The straps are super pretty, with 3 strands each. The pattern is different, being almost purple with white, black and turquoise. Again, the playsuit clinches in at the waist which I love, as I feel like I have a body shape which goes in at the waist and is probably one of my best assets. I loved this playsuit because I felt that I could dress it up for a night out, or I could wear it casually during the day! 

Back to Bahrain shopping, I got this top from Forever 21. It cost me 4.9BD, but I couldn't tell you how much this is in dollar/uk pound! It's more of an aztec pattern, with deep reds, yellows and blues. It's got a mixture of colours, and its quite baggy, meaning that its super comfortable and super casual. 

This top is the same as the one above, but it has a different pattern. Again, its from Forever 21, and cost me 4.9BD. Its got elephants on it and is black and white. It reminds me of Thailand, as my friends have trousers from Thailand which have the same pattern! Again, its flowy, and is super comfortable! 

This casual 'OK' top is from Pull & Bear. It's a slouchy tee, with a pocket in the corner. Its a V Neck, and again is super comfortable. I like to pair it with a pair of shorts, leggings or jeans, so its so casual!

This top is from Pimkie, which is a european brand. This top is very different to what I would normally wear, but I love it! Its so colourful and summery, and I feel like you can either dress it up or dress it down. The material is a little different, and feels almost swimsuit like, but its super comfy and is not clingy as you would believe. 

This is probably my favourite top that I brought whilst in Bahrain. Its from Aeropostale, and was quite pricy for what it is. It's white and blue, with little specs of white amongst the blue. The back is so pretty with little flowers in the lace. Although its long sleeved, it's very light and so even if its warm I could probably still wear this! 

Accessories, Body Sprays and Hand Sanitizers!

I love this bag so much! When I first saw it, I didn't buy it as I wasn't sure that I needed another bag. As I walked around the rest of the mall, all I kept doing was counting my money to see if I could go back and buy it!! Its quite big, so can fit so much in it. The yellow zip gives such a splash of colour and the inside has a large bag inside to store everything. There isn't any pockets, which makes it slightly difficult when trying to find something quickly, but honestly, I am so glad I got this bag. 

Lord help me, I love Bath and Body Works. We don't have a Bath and Body Works in the UK, and so whenever I travel to America or someone goes that I know, the one thing I request is Hand Sanitizers.   In Bahrain, they had sprays on a buy 2 get one free deal, as well as buy 4 hand sanitisers get 2 free (I don't have one in the photos because I'm pretty sure it's in my going out bag...). The Cool Amazon Rain and Endless Weekend sprays are part of the new Spring release, and I just love the velvet sugar. All the sprays are to DIE for, and I carry one with me all the time. The Hand Sanitizers are the perfect size to fit in clutch bags, and I keep one in every handbag I own. I can't go anywhere without one. These smells are all delicious, and if I could eat them I probably would. 

My best friend from home brought me these earrings for my birthday from New Look, and I think they are adorable!! They are all quite sophisticated, again good for night time or day time wear. After taking this photo, I changed into the ones on the far left. I love the different colours, which can go with so many different outfits. I am excited to wear them all! 

She also got me these beautiful necklaces (also from New Look) which can be worn separately or as a 3. They are all different lengths, so can be worn as a set of three. I think they are absolutely beautiful, and can't wait to find an outfit that I can wear all three together with!! 

 I hope you liked this blog post - It's so different to what I normally do and has loads of photos! I also just want to thank everyone who commented on my last post hoping that I was okay. I'm doing so much better, but still sometimes things are a little down for me. It honestly made me feel so appreciated and made me see how much my followers do care abut me! So, I just want to thank everyone for being there for me! 

 Love,
