Chloe Louise -xo: Shopping

Hello lovelies! So today's post is going to be haul showing you my recent purchases from T K Maxx. Now if you follow me on twitter or instagram you may have seen a sneaky preview of most of these items that I am going to show you.

I just love T K Maxx, I mean who doesn't love a bargain! I don't think I have ever walked into the shop and not come out with anything haha. Recently I have been browsing on the website and came across some really good items. Firstly I ended up buying a beautiful dress that was perfect for a holiday but unfortunatly I had to return this back to store as it was slightly small, so as I was taking the dress back I decided to have a browse whilst I was there as you do and I came across these lovely items!

Womens Fedora Hat - £5.99

Sistaglam Lace Burgundy Skirt - £12.99

Mexx Mint Green Coat - £39.99

Jeffery Campbell Jewelled Sandals - £20.00

Everyday Luxe Candles in fragrances Coconut Lychee Smoothie and Cotton Fresh each were £2.99

That's all I purchased on that outing but when I got home and yes I ended up on the T K Maxx website again! And this time I came across loads of shoes which I just fell in love with and for the price they were great! Here is what I ordered.

Chika 10 Blue Denim Chunky Heel - £24.99

Michael Kors Gold Holly Rope Wedge Sandals - £49.99

Jeffery Campbell Pink Suede Platform Heels - £20.00

Michael Kors Blue Denim Wedge Sandal - £49.99

Jeffery Campbell Brown Suede Shimmer Wedges - £20.00

Primadonna Collection Pink Mesh Detail Ankle Boots - £12.99

I am in love with all my purchases! Okay maybe the Jeffery Campbell Pink Heels and the Primadonna heels are slightly high and I may just struggle walking in them, but at least my feet will look pretty haha! They really need to invent something to make wearing heels pain free!

There has been so many great brands such as Nars, MAC, Too Faced, Michael Kors etc online at the moment so get your hands on them as quick as you can as they are selling out fast.

Im sure i'll be back soon with another T K Maxx haul in the future.

Do you love a T K Maxx bargain?

Oops...I've gone and done it again, been spending more money when i should be saving, especially when i need to pay for my holiday next year. Nevermind.

I went on another shopping spree when i went into Leeds City Centre on Monday. I just can't help myself, as soon as i see something i have to buy it, as i always question if it will be there next time when i'm shopping.

Most of the stuff i bought was from Primark so most of it was a bargain! I absolutely love Primark and i can never walk into their shop and leave without purchasing anything. They have some lovely items in at the moment and i could have bought even more but i don't think my bank account would of liked that.

Shall we see what i bought?

Bow Trim Grey Cuffs - £3.00

"Wanna Snuggle With Me" Pyjamas - £5.00 sale item

Blue Ankle Strap Wedges - £6.00 sale item

Grey Cosy Viscose Leggings - £5.00

Pink Glitter A6 Notebook - £1.50

Blue Zip Winged Bag - £5.00 sale item

Fur Collar Coat - £25.00

Like i said previously i could have bought so much more from here and i really wanted to buy some Christmas themed leggings as they had cute little gingerbread men on and then a Christmas top but i stopped myself from buying them as i had only just bought some clothing items a few weeks before.

After finishing in Primark i headed to the gorgeous Victoria Secret. I fall in love with this store everytime i go in, i love the colour scheme and its so girly and i love everything about it. As i had a shopping spree a few weeks ago, i purchased a top that was in the sale from PINK which is part of Victoria Secret and as it is Decemeber they giving out a secret rewards cards with every purchase. The rewards card can only be used between 4th-19th Decemeber, during this time you are allowed to check what your balance is on the card. The reward is either £10, £50, £100 or £500. So when i went in on Monday i went to go check my balance and i had £10 on my card, yes i was slightly gutted i didn't get the £500 but £10 is better than nothing! Here are the goodies i bought

I purchased Frosted Apple, Winter Cranberry and Snow Mint which are all Ultra-Moisturising hand and body creams.

These retail at £13.00 each but i bought them on offer for 3 for £24 and i used my £10.00 rewards card, so basically i got 2 free and put £14.00 towards it, which i thought was a very good bargin. These also smell gorgeous!

I didn't even know we had a Kiko Cosmetics store in Leeds, but i am so glad we have one, since seeing Kiko cosmetics on other bloggers websites i just knew i needed to try out their products. I purchased 2 of their lipsticks.

Smart Lipstick - Shade 915 Mauve - £3.90

Smart Lipstick - Shade 913 Rosewood - £3.90

And lastly here are the little bits i bought from Superdrug

I purchased the following:

Real Techniques Limited Edition set - Now £20.00 saving £10

Nivea Daily Essentials Express Hydration Primer - Now £2.48

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder - £3.99

Then i also bought some christmas presents for my mum, dad and work collegues (photos not pictured)

Recently i was browsing through facebook i came across the Models Own facebook page and seen that they had been posting pictures of peoples orders as they had a sale on and i thought i would check it out for myself. So i went on the Models Own website and to my surprise they had a 50% off sale on, yes girls 50% off, how good is that!

The 50% off sale was for everything on their website other than the gift box sets. I love Models Own polishes and i just knew i had to buy some with this fabulous offer on! So after browsing through many nail polish shades debating which ones to get, adding them to my basket, removing certain shades and adding others i finally chose the ones i wanted.

A few days later i received my package!

They arrived in this lovely Models Own It box.

Here are the shades i bought:

Left to right:

Emerald City - Glitter Collection - £5.00

Northern Lights - Wonderland Collection -£5.00

Turquoise Gloss - Hypergel Collection - £5.00

Cerise Shine - Hypergel Collection - £5.00

Pink Veneer - Hypergel Collection - £5.00

Red Lustre - Hypergel Collection - £5.00

Southern Lights - Wonderland Collection - £5.00

All polishes are normally priced at £5.00 each but with the 50% off sale i only paid £17.50 for 7 nail polishes! These would have normally come to £35.00! What a great saving.

Here are some swatches of the nail polishes.

Emerald City and Turquoise Gloss

Red Lustre, Cerise Shine, Pink Veneer

Southern Lights and Northern Lights

I love the new HyperGel collection nail polishes! These polishes are brand new and they have mega shine. These polishes are highly pigmented and enriched with lotus flower oil. These polishes also have a gel effect finish and no UV light is required! Perfect for a manicure.

Here is one nail look that i created using the Cerise Shine and Northern Lights polishes!

Did you buy any of the Models Own polishes during their 50% off sale?

On Sunday after work i decided i wanted to go into Primark after i had finished work at BANK. On Saturday i nipped into Primark just to browse and i saw loads of lovely things.

Come on, who can walk into primark and come out empty handed? Certainly not me!

I bought 2 make up bags for me to use at college to put my nail art/acrylic nail stuff in. They were both £2 from £5 in the sale! I also popped upstairs to the shoe/jewellery/bag area to have a nosey around and this attracted my attention

How gorgeous is this bag! And another thing that attracted me to this bag was that i saw a sale sign and that it was reduced from £12.00 to just £5.00! Yes girls, you read that right, just £5.00. What a bargin! I wasn't expecting a bag of this quality to be on sale let alone for it to be £5, usually when i have seen sale bags they have been tacky looking ones or just plain and simple ones but well done primark you have done a great job on this one!

They had this taupe colour avaliable and also black! I love the embellishments on this bag with the gold studs and the zips on the front and i love having the long strap too incase you want to wear it on your shoulder (most of the time i do) or on your hand with the short handle.

Now onto Sunday's trip to Primark.

The best purchase of the day has to be this

I found a dupe of the Zara Office City Bag!

I am so happy! I have been wanting the Zara Office City Bag for ages, but i don't think they are available anymore, only in the mini version. So when i found this amongst clothes my face lit up i couldn't believe there was a dupe. I looked at the price and it was £12.00 and at that moment i just knew i had to buy it.

As i have never owned a Zara Office City Bag i can not comment on the quality and material compared to the Zara one but for only £12.00 i feel that the quality is very good. It comes with 2 handles, one on the front and one on the back, although i feel that these could have been made a little longer as i don't think you would be able to wear this in the crook of your elbow/arm. It also comes with a long detachable/adjustable strap if you want to wear this on your shoulder. There are gold hooks on the side of the bag if you are wanting to detach the strap. Also with the strap being adjustable you could wear this as a shoulder bag or as a cross body bag, which ever suits you.

There is an open middle compartment and 2 outer zip compartments. I love bags that have many compartments as i like to keep things separate, for example: Phone, keys, purse in one, make up in other etc.

Inside the middle compartment there is a small zip compartment on one side and on the other side there is a phone pocket.

I would say there is plenty of room in this bag and just like the Zara Office City Bag you are able to put your IPad, Tablet, Netbook in although i don't think a laptop would fit in, but i haven't tried it so if you want, give it go!

Round of applause for Primark, for bringing out such a fab dupe!

I bought 2 lovely necklaces. The first one was £5 and the second is £3.

I am loving statement necklaces at the moment and once i saw the cream/pink one i just new i had it but it, and now it is getting nearer to spring i thought it would be perfect.

I'm loving Primarks statement necklaces at the moment!
