Out & About

I made an online order to arrive in store so I had to make another trip into Bath yesterday!


So firstly I picked up the New Look order in Bath (after taking ages and ages to get there...). I got that top I tried on recently, and impulse bought a cheap skirt from the kids section (reluctant to try it on...it looks big enough, but who knows?!), some tattoo bracelets, and a super cheap and cute purse.

I then dashed up to Broad Street to get my septum jewellery changed, but it looked shut. I discovered when I'd just caught the bus to Bristol that they actually were open and that refurbishments had been finished. Argh! I did get a gift for someone in the Cath Kidston store near it though.


I had a very late lunch at around 4pm in College Green before going up Park Street to Forbidden Planet. I had a Boots meal deal of veggie sushi, carrots and humous, and Naked superfood smoothie!


Tried on a bunch of awesome black things in H&M, but I'm tight on money so I'm thinking on these things. I really want the skirt, but I'd have to buy 2 sizes smaller than usual and cut out the underskirt in order to wear it as high up as possible due to my height!


I think I will probably end up going back for this vest too at some point, although £25 is pretty expensive for something pointless. Also think maybe I need a bigger size? Idk what it's supposed to look like tbh aha.


Also sad I couldn't get these cute Mickey Mouse shorts. They didn't have my size, boooo.


Here are my other buys of the day! The pony came from Tesco before I caught the bus to Bath, the A Day To Remember CD was from Bath, and the rest was from Bristol (all Primark except the vest on the right which was from H&M).


Today I went to Clarks Village with Rob, and wore my Mr Shark shorts. I love them a lot!


I met a huge Lindt bunny! Other than eating burgers in Spoons the only thing we bought was a pair of £1 skull earrings from Claire's so it was a bit of a failed trip. Had to be out in the good weather we've been having though.

And now to work ridiculous shifts for the rest of week. Doing 18.5 hours over Thursday and Friday alone, and I'm only contracted to do 17 hours IN A WEEK ugh.

Tragus!

Yesterday was my only day off this week as I'm working a lot of overtime, so I figured I should actually do something.


I dressed quite lightly, but this was a mistake. When I walked to the bus stop it was warm and sunny t-shirt weather. Then it rained. Then it hailed. I was so cold when I got to town!


I bought these things in H&M straight away so I could wear the jumper! I'd wanted to buy it online months ago but it was sold out, so I got lucky.


I then went to New Look and found this awesome bodycon in a concession. I really want it but this one is too big and long, but the arm bits are tight. Noooo!


They also have cute crops in! I regret not buying this...I wasn't sure about the need to freeboob, but it's so cute so I think I will be able to manage. Hopefully I get another chance to get it.


I then went to get my nipple bars changed at Broad Street Studio, and got a little something! Tragus was surprisingly not painful, although I keep forgetting it's there and scratching my ear which is bad. I love it though. Definitely working on getting more ear piercings!


As soon as I sat down in the park the weather turned from nice to gross again, so I headed to the bus stop. I was supposed to shop in Bristol too, but I was hungry and tired and the bus I was on pulled up right next to the bus home...so I just went home!


And I returned home to find my signed copy of Frank Turner's book ♥

Cardiff & River House Backpackers

Since I live a little while from Cardiff, I inevitably had to find somewhere to stay while visiting. I arrived just after 2pm on the Tuesday.


I ended up staying in a hostel called the River House Backpackers. Honestly, I really loved this place! The staff were very welcoming and the whole place was bright, clean, and very homely. £17 got me a night's stay in a 4-person women-only room on the third floor, and it was only 5 minutes from Cardiff Central.


There was even a cheeky street cat there!


A short walk away was Cardiff castle. There were lots of squirrels chasing each other around in the park next to it!


I had nachos and a pint at a Wetherspoons in town after having a little look around the galleries in the National Museum. I didn't get much time there as I had left the hostel later than originally planned due to anxiety.


The next day I got up quite early and had free breakfast! There was a variety of cereals, yoghurt, bread, pastries, welsh cakes, juices, and there were free tea and coffee on offer for the whole stay.


I went back to the museum to look at the small natural history section. Taxidermy birds everywhere!


I also had another quick look at the gallery. This painting was my favourite.


Before heading home I went back to the Wetherspoons as they still do mexican burgers in that one! Awh yiss.


Next I went shopping! I realised I might be a goth as I tried on so many black clothes and only 1 non-black thing...


Spoopy4lyf


Picked a few black basics and also this pleather top. Not sure about keeping it though as wouldn't know what to wear it with and it seems a bit formal for daily wear.

I ended up leaving in the afternoon and getting home at around 5pm. Was awfully tired afterwards, and still kinda am!

Splurging on BLACK

Been feeling really low again recently, which means more impromptu shopping sprees. Ugh, I'm useless! I wish internet shopping wasn't a thing, it's so easy to get sucked in!


I also did a little shopping after getting my tattoo, which obviously means changing-room outfit selfies! I think my Death By Disco Straps Skater Dress is one of my favourites, so easy to wear! And coordinates with my bloody tattoo!


Here is my little Primark haul. I accidentally tried on the sheer shiny top in a 6 (I thought it was an S) & it wasn't super tiny, so I risked an 8. Yet to try it on yet though! The cardigan is so soft, and the other things are beachwear that I intend on just wearing. Could have done with a smaller size for those, but they were out of stock (I swear Primark sizing has gotten bigger).


This is an early birthday present from mum which I had to buy myself, a cheapie rose perfume from M&S. It was discounted for Valentine's Day too, so it was only £4.80 for 30ml. Had I realised this beforehand I'd have gotten the 100ml. It smells yummy, but the bottle is super boring.


When I got home after going over Rob's house, I found my first surprise gift from a fellow Sharkie - some yummy tea and a Finn plush, aahhhh! ♥


My New Look order arrived a few days ago too. I ordered the bralet in 2 sizes, and predictably the 10 fits more comfortably but has super saggy cups so I'm keeping the 8 and hoping I can shift some flab from my ribs. The strap detailing on both sides is so awesome though, and I love that my piercings peek through the lace! The rings & tights were sales cheapies, hoping to accessorise more this year as I'm rubbish!


Next is my Urban Outfitters order. Sadly I will be returning this bralet too. I ordered an M and again the cups are too big, even though the rest fits nicely. I guess I could wear a super padded bra under it, but I am a C/D cup? The stock photo it is being worn as actual bra? Wtf? Like I know I look flat but still. It looks cheaper than I'd hoped anyway though. But I should get good use from the tattoo choker as I wear my plain one all the time, and I couldn't resist naughty socks. I want to wear them to work a lot!


Asos order is up next (they sent me the right stuff this time!). I only realised when it arrived that the Primark beach dress I bought is almost exactly the same as this Asos one! The Asos one is nicer but is way too oversized, so I will be exchanging it. The fishnet thing is ankle socks, I thought they were quirky, and one can never have too many thigh-highs (how have I lived without striped ones?). The Religion kimono is something I'd been eyeing up for a long time, and I made this order as a panic buy as only size M was left (now sold out completely)! It was pretty expensive but massively reduced, and my grandparents are claiming it as birthday present so pretty win-win there. Not sure how I'll wear it, but I've wanted a kimono for ages and those praying skeletons are just awesome.

I think I've found my style finally though, and that style is all black everything. Kind of bordering on the 'health goth' bullcrap which is worrying, but eh whatever.

Now to wait impatiently for my Dollskill order!

Little Shopping Spree...Oops!

Since Rob was ill I found myself with a free day, so I figured I'd head back into Bristol again.


I always dress boring when shopping...


I saw a Pinkie I don't own in T.K.Maxx, but she was a bit battered and out of battery and not worth £20. I also fell in love with boots but they only had sizes 37 and 39 and I needed a 38. Typical!


I finally had the McDonald's I'd been craving for months, and it was the worst one I've ever eaten! So cold. Ew.


...yup.


I tried these shoes on in New Look and decided I'd never wear them. I wish I'd bought them now though as they were surprisingly comfortable, in the sale, and the last pair in the store =[


I picked up the New Look order I made ages ago. It hadn't arrived in time for me to pick up on Saturday which was annoying. I'm not sure about keeping the clutch at all as it's entirely useless, but it's adorably stupid! Also annoying is the fact that the garterbelt has a gross green stain on the back, but as it was a sale item I can only be given sale credit if I return it >=/ hopefully it washes out, but really unimpressed. The cat car freshener is for Rob haha (well, for his car).


I love love love these shoes in H&M, but I can't decide if I should get the red velvet ones (cuter) or the black ones (more practical).


Other junk! H&M tops I tried on a few weeks back, a Nyan Cat deckbox for Rob for Christmas, Lemongrab card case, sale Rainbow Power Fashion Pinkie Pie, Royal Blood 7" (for Dad's birthday), Jamie Lenman 7", signed copy of Dry The River's album, and a Billy Talent album. I also got some Mars bars to store in case of tattoos, chocolate Hobnobs, and a big bag of marshmallows!


The tops when I tried them on before. I know they'll be in the sale soon enough, but S always sells out first so I grabbed them now anyway. I mean, they're totally me, right? I'll be getting more stuff from the sale anyway hopefully...

My big disappointments were that one of my main goals was to buy thick OTK socks in Primark as I saw some in the Bath store recently, but I couldn't find them anywhere. I did find cute fox tights, but I didn't want to queue for one thing that I hadn't expressly gone out to buy (other than the music everything else I got today was on my list). I also couldn't find the USA Pro bottoms I own (they're too big and I wanted to buy a smaller size), and nowhere sold cheap birthday cards (mum wanted me to buy some for her). Boo! At least I wasn't sat at home bored all day though.

Sunny Day Out

After weeks and weeks of people messing with my plans, I finally got to go to Bath today! I had so many errands to run, so having to cancel on myself over and over was really frigging annoying.

After picking up my train tickets for Reading Festival, I started shopping! Which involved trying on lots of things I couldn't afford, including a gorgeous cardigan on Urban Outfitters that I didn't get a photo of.


I've been wanting this dress in Topshop for ages, but this size is too small, the non-petite sizes are all too big, and the size that would fit me is apparently completely sold out. Boo.


I also tried these just for a laugh, but it somehow made a pretty cute outfit! I really want these shorts now, but they were too expensive.


In H&M I spotted this top and thought it was so me, but wtf is this length? If it ever gets reduced I might get it, but whaaa


This dress was only a fiver, but eh if only it were black!


This one I've been eyeing for a while, but I left it. In Bath, anyway. I had to go home via Bristol, so I picked one up there ;P

After picking up some shoes I ordered and buying some other ones, I went up to Broad Street Studio to get my belly button pierced! I love going to that place for piercings.


This photo was taken once I'd cleaned it up back home since it was kinda bloody at first. I'm really not sure about it, but oh well.


I then went to find some grass to sit on and bought some treats.


The sandwich I made yesterday was delicious! Quorn fillets in mayo, sweet chilli, & chilli cheese.


I ended up spending over 2 hours just lounging around and reading.


I somehow managed to find a really quiet spot!

I then had to get the bus to Bristol, where I did a little more shopping. I ended up getting some things in Primark since the Bath Primark was reaaaally rubbish. I didn't get the Ravenclaw shirt I'd been wanting for ages though, as it looked horrible! Then it was time to go home.


Here are the shoes I got! ASPCA Vans from Schuh that I used a discount code for, and some sandals from New Look. Need to try them both though.


A bunch of hair stuff from Boots and Just Beauty.


The H&M dress...so floaty!

Aaaaaand I bought 3 really similar things in Primark...need to try them with stuff I already own and decide which ones to take back.





I'm now exhausted and in another world of pain due to dehydration. Someone bring me ice cream? Please??
