checkmate

 

After uni on Friday I decided to take a trip around Trinity shopping centre. I've been before but it's always a lovely place to spend a few hours browsing as it is mostly outdoors and the buildings there are just beautiful so I would highly recommend a visit.

 

No.1 CAGED RINGS I've been wanting some more midi rings for a while and purchased a large pack from Primark the other week for about two pounds, however when I saw these and these in River Island (and the fact that it was 20% student discount) I quickly snapped them up! They're perfect for creating stacks and look really lovely on the hands, I'm very pleased with them! I also bought a gold caged ring from H&M which is just gorgeously feminine with a bit of an edge.

 

No.2 COSMETICS I love Topshop make-up! The packaging, the colour range, everything! I purchased two new lipsticks in the shades Innocent & Whimsical and I absolutely love them(!!!!) so expect a post on them veeeery soon. I also pick up one of the new eye crayons in a gorgeous electric blue shade. I saw a model in a recent Company issue sporting a bright blue eye with a smoky black shade in the crease and thought it looked really fresh and interesting so I guess that's what inspired this purchase, I'll report back on how I do. The last thing from Topshop was this highlight quad that I saw Lily Pebbles talk about in one of her videos. I really like to concept but I'm not too sure how it'll fair up on my dry skin. We'll see...

 

No.3 CHECKS Say hello to my newest clothing addition. I love check shirts and the boyish look they have however it was the collar on this one that drew me to it. It's from River Island and the fit is so feminine and pretty, I just love it. I also think the double collar look is really unique and eye catching!

 

So that's it, a few bits I've purchased recently. Not too bad considering this student loan really is burning a hole is my pocket...
