Mini random bargain haul

Hi guys!

I don't think I should even call this post a 'haul' as it's only two items :D But I really wanted to share it with you. Reason being, both are bargains and I just got them so you might still be able to purchase if you like.

First is this super gorgeous necklace from Dorothy Perkins. They had quite a few of these chunky ones on 50% sale. All were gorgeous but I settled for mint. I just can't stay away from this colour!
I don't normally wear necklaces of any kind, especially chunky ones. But I've been seeing this kinda thing all over social media. And when my eyes seen something so many itmes, for so long.... it started to grow on me and I caved in :)
I really enjoy wearing it with a simple vest. It gives that pretty accent to the outfit.

Sale + my NUS card (yeey for being a student) = gorgeous necklace for around £5.50

Second item is super random. It's a garden swing! First of all let me say this: I love home bargains! I bought so many good quality things from there. From skincare to.... bathroom cabinets and swing sets.
I couldn't believe it but this was only £65. I will get so much use out of it! So far every single day after work I sat on it and enjoyed cup of coffee. So relaxing and de-stressing. Everyone should have one of these.













Hope you enjoyed my little random post. Let me know if you have or will get any of these items :)

New-ish Necklace + Annick Goutal Perfume

The necklace:

I got sucked in with 3 for 2 promotion with this piece. Theoretically I didn’t pay anything for it because I had two lovely things in my basket already so I thought, why not! This was back in December.

I am not really big on big jewellery. I prefer dainty and simple things. I was convinced this necklace will be another ‘sitting on the cabinet, looking pretty, never worn’ purchase. As you can see it took me nearly 3 months to actually wear it.

To me it looks best when worn with simple tee and a blazer or cardigan. I really don’t like to overdo it. I consider this a statement item of my outfit. It’s made out of layers of thin suede (not sure if genuine but very soft) strings and randomly attached crystal beads. It’s one of these things that can be dressy or casual depending on what you pair it with.

I purchased it in Dorothy Perkins and not sure if you’d be able to still find it. But there are a lot of long similar pieces out there now.


The perfume:

When I saw generous bottle of perfume in December Feel Unique box I instantly said ‘I better like the scent of this!’. It’s not common to find what looks like proper, full size perfume bottle in a beauty box.

One sniff and I could live peacefully again. It is difficult to describe the scent simply because I am rubbish at it. What I can say is that Mandragore is sophisticated, sweet but fresh and sensuous. If I was one of the people that separate their day and night fragrance, I would call it a night one.

I have to say, I was surprised when saw regular price of this perfume. It is quite affordable. It isn’t cheap but I’d put it on a medium price shelf. I was expecting this to be one of those super expensive products no one could buy after finishing their sample. Nicely surprised.

Any of you tried Annick Goutal fragrance?
