OOTD: Holiday Edition

As promised, whilst I was on holiday I took pictures of the outfits that I wore daily. I must say now, in the pictures with the bird top I'm not wearing a bright pink bra, it's my swimming costume as this was my 'I'm going swimming out' so yes, I just wanted to clear that up haha!  Also, we went away in England and luckily for us, the few days that we had away we ended up with niceish weather. Not scorching hot but a lot better than what we've been getting recently so it allowed me to get my legs out.
Bird Top - Primark £8.00
Knitted Cardigan - knitted by my grandmother
Black Skirt - New Look £12.99
Brown Belt - Primark £2.00
Navy Blazer - New Look £24.99
Love Birds Dress - Primark £13.00
White T Shirt - Primark £4.00
Yellow T Shirt - Vero Moda @ Republic £7.00
Yellow/Navy Heart Dress - Primark £10.00
Leggings - Primark £3.00
I really love all of these outfits, especially the ones with the New Look skirt and it's definitely become my favourite item of clothing! It goes with pretty much any tshirt and is extremely flattering, pretty and easy to wear. I must also mention that the blazer doesn't have an exact link on the New Look website because I've had it for such a long time! I think I bought it when I was 15 and I saved up my lunch money to buy it and it's been a staple in my wardrobe ever since haha. To think it's lasted me 4 years is incredible and that definitely shows how well made New Look blazers are. So yes, these are my outfits that I wore on my holiday.
What outfit is your favourite?

HAUL: No7, Primark, Republic, New Look

First of all, I'm sorry for the bad pictures. I'm back at home and I'm still trying to find a good background to take pictures with but so far, my bedding/window will have to do!
As I mentioned I really needed a swimsuit for my holiday and in the end, I found this one in Primark. It doesn't look nice on a coat hanger but it has medium support control inside it which really pulls my stomach in. I absolutely love it and I can't wait to wear it. This was £13.00 which I didn't think was too bad. The yellow t-shirt is from Vero Moda at Republic and it was in the sale down from £14.00 to just £7.00. I really like the colour and the material is so soft. I bought it in a size large so it'd be oversized as well. I then went to New Look to find some of the dresses that I originally wanted but I didn't see any of them and I was gutted. I then saw the black skirt and remember that Tanya Burr had worn it in a lot of her L.A vlogs so I picked it up. They don't have the normal version on the website, just the tall one but you can find it here for £12.99. It's a really lovely skirt as it skims over my stomach and pulls my waist in.
 So yes, recently I took a trip to No7 to pick up a few more bits with my vouchers and this time, I picked up a lipgloss and an eyeliner (links and names below). The eyeliner is very soft, extremely pigmented, long wearing and has a bit of shimmer running through it which really helps to open the eyes up and as much as I hate this phrase, make them pop. It's such a beautiful eyeliner to work with and I'm shocked that I haven't explored No7's eyeliners before. As for the lipgloss, I love it. I'm not a lipgloss girl at all as I have long hair and my hair tend to gets stuck in my lipgloss. But this one isn't sticky, isn't heavy and is such a beautiful colour that I can't stop wearing it. The only I don't like is the smell. It reminds me of the way that medieval castles smell - not that I have anything against medieval castles but it's just not a smell that I favour. 
Top to bottom -
I'll also mention that when I swatched the eyeliner it stayed on my hand all night without smudging - impressive! What have you been buying with your No7 vouchers? Have you ever tried any of these products? What about any of the clothing items above?
