CHEAP FITNESS HAUL

Hey guys! First off, so sorry I haven't posted anything in so long. I've been a bad blogger. I have just had a lot going on lately and haven't really been in the mood to blog, so I apologise for that. I'm back today though, to show you some new gym wear that I have bought. I have only recently started going to the gym and I am by no means a fitness freak but I've really enjoyed going. I've also enjoyed shopping for gym wear too (such a girl!). 
I didn't want to spend loads on gym wear and I knew Primark had a big selection, so I decided to check there. I went to the Bristol store and they had literally nothing in my size, which was so annoying. Having said that, a couple of days later I picked up this sports crop top for £4. I wear it as a sports bra. It fits really nicely and for only £4 it's amazing quality. If you are looking for cheap fitness wear then check out Primark's section!
I then went into H&M. Although their gym wear isn't as cheap as Primark, I am still really happy with my purchases. I picked up these long gym leggings with a pink strip down the leg for £24.99. They are so comfy and fitting, they are perfect for running. They also have a handy little pocket in the back to hold a phone or cards. I also bought this quick drying, bright, coral sports top for £7.99. Again, I really like it and I am definitely going to pick up another one in a different colour. I got mine in the size XS which corresponds to a size 8. Make sure to cheap out all the links on here and I would love to hear what you think of the high-street fitness wear that is available. Also there's only couple of days left to enter my Tanya Burr Nail Polish Giveaway if you haven't already!

CELEBRATORY NIGHT OUT

As I'm sure a few of you are aware, I have just finished my first set of university exams. This called for a big celebratory night out. This was the outfit I wore. I didn't want to go too dressy as the  place we went to wasn't really a formal place. and it was freeezing outside so I wanted to cover my legs. I bought this top a couple of days prior from Primark (so it should still be in store) for £10. It is a plain white, polyester top with this gorgeous statement piece attached at the top. Everyone knows how much I love statement necklaces which is why I love it.
Top - Primark

I paired this outfit with just some simply black jeans from Newlook. The top is quite short (but not quite cropped) so I wore it with some high waisted jeans. For my clutch, I used this mint green bag from River Island. Although I love the design and it's really spacious, it's is only secured with one little buckle which after a couple of drinks isn't ideal if you are good at losing things (like me), as things can easily fall out. I didn't really accessorise much with this outfit as the piece at the top was a statement enough. Another good thing is that the piece is detachable which makes it easier to wash. I just wore this outfit with my purple pumps from Primark that I talked about in this outfit post here. Hope everyone has a lovely week.

TWO DOWN, ONE TO GO...

January has been the worst month for me with two presentations, two deadlines and three exams but I can now finally see the finish line. Friday is my last exam and couldn't be more happy about it. My brain feels like it is going to explode! Here is the outfit I wore today. I had an exam today so and I wanted to wear something comfy and nothing too tight or uncomfortable. I bought this blouse from Primark a while ago and had forgotten about it until I went home and found it tucked away in my draws. I really love the print on it, it's perfect for the winter. 


I also really like how the sleeves are quite big and it then goes in at the wrists. This blouse is really versatile as you can dress it down or dress it up for a smarter occasion. The blouse is quite sheer so I just wore my black bandeau underneath. I just paired this outfit with my black disco pants from Missguided. I have mentioned them before and I have linked a similar pair above. They are so comfy and slimming. I didn't really accessorise with this outfit as I think the blouse on it's own is quite a statement. I just wore my everyday Tiffany ring and bracelet.
