Primark Haul

I hope you all had a very merry Christmas filled with loved ones, laughter and festive songs! This year I stocked up on a few Primark items - some of which were Christmassy. I'm loving a lot of what they're selling at the moment so I thought I'd share them with you (even if it is a bit after Christmas).

Also, it's been a very long time since my last blog post as I've been busy with exams, etc. but I have lots of posts ready to share with you soon!

Friends Jumper

Since Friends is one of my favourite programmes EVER, anything friends-related will get my attention. This baggy jumper with the cute little pom poms was just irresistible to me, and it's very, very cosy (the photo above shows the writing close-up).

Coca-Cola Jumper

I love this, paired with either blue or black jeans and even though it's really big, it looks v smart as the metallic red embroidery stands out against the bright white. I also think the way that the Coca-Cola logo is written 3(ish) times is really cool.

Aristocats Marie Jumper

How adorable is the embroidery on this jumper?! As a big Disney fan (especially of the old classics), I was immediately drawn to this. I love that it's sweet and has a little embroidered 'Marie' on one sleeve, but also that it's baggy and really comfortable.

Big Hair Don't Care Cushion

For someone with curly, frizzy, long hair, I relate to this. It's quite small so it fits in with my other cushions well and looks great in my room because I have a few plants in there.

Teddy Sherpa Throw

Believe me when I say that this is so, so soft. I was looking for a big pink throw and when I saw this I just thought it was perfect, and for £11, how could I really go wrong?! Usually throws are a lot more expensive, so I wondered if maybe it wouldn't be soft or the dye would come out, but I've had it for a couple of months now and I haven't noticed anything wrong with it. It's warm, soft, quite big and a lovely colour.

(Sorry it's not the best photo - I took it while I was in Primark!)

Fluffy Socks

I got these as part of a little Christmas Eve selection I put together for my parents and I, and who doesn't love Primark's fluffy socks?! I often wear these for bed so I didn't want anything too tight or irritating, and it's great that they don't cost very much because I always get quite a few of these.

(I just chose one from each pair for this picture, they obviously came with matching pairs haha)

Planter

Plants. Baby pink. Gold decor. What isn't to love about this? I haven't put a plant in it yet but I just know it will look perfect - possibly for a hanging plant. I've been looking all over for another planter and the pink and gold look so pretty.

Ceramic House with LED Light

I absolutely love little things like this - I already had a larger ceramic house from ASDA which holds a tea light. This one from Primark has a little LED light inside and looks so pretty when it's switched on or off. I sent a photo of one to my parents for their opinion and, to cut a long story short, I ended up with three!

They were in the Christmas section but they're so nice that I think I'll keep them out all year round!

Christmas Tree Decoration

This goes with the geometric and rose gold theme that I have in my room so I just love it!

Ceramic Reindeer Ornament

How cute is this?! It came in two sizes but I picked the larger one to fit better with the penguin (see the next ornament).

Ceramic Penguin Ornament

I had quite a few white and silver Christmas ornaments this year, so this penguin fit in perfectly, and it looks so sweet!

Table Runner

I was asked to do one very specific favour: buy a gold, sequinned table runner. Believe me when I say I looked EVERYWHERE (almost everywhere). I found some that looked quite dull, and many of them were a bit too yellow or orange. By the time I went to Primark, I'd completely forgotten all about a table runner but this one caught my eye straight away and no one could believe it was so cheap (around £10 I think). It's actually quite a large table cloth but we folded it to make it more of a table runner with a white table cloth underneath. It looked perfect!

 Look how gorgeous the sequins are!
