A FESTIVE TREAT.

During the run up to Christmas I get a little bit carried away with self-gifting!! When out shopping for presents I often spot festive things that I want for myself. I blame this on having an obsession with both Christmas & shopping. So it happened, I mentioned in my October Primark Haul post that I had picked up something Christmassy from Primark & here it is, a 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar!!





I first saw this in the Becca Rose Primark Haul YouTube video where she gets the keys to the Oxford Street store to do a haul. As soon as I saw it I knew I needed to hunt it down. It is an advent calendar for the 12 days running up to Christmas & instead of getting a chocolate everyday you get a piece of jewellery. This is perfect for those who are not a fan of chocolate or like me want a little something different to open every morning.

The advent calendar contains 4 pairs of stud earrings, 2 rings, 3 bracelets & 3 necklaces in both gold & silver. They are small & dainty, perfect for everyday use especially if you like layering your jewellery like I do.


I have been naughty & opened the first window, my excuse being I need to show you all an example of what you get inside. I do not know if it varies between each calendar but the first window of mine is a pair of gold bird stud earrings. The remaining 11 windows will be revealed on the run up to Christmas as I open them. I will do this by posting pictures on my twitter, so follow & keep an eye out to get a closer look at what is inside.

If you want one, check out Primark & pick one up for £8. Let me know if you manage to get one!

These are some others Advent Calendar alternatives I like the look of.

PRIMARK HAUL. OCTOBER 2014




Primark use to be a place I would go for basics or a cheap treat, often preferring to shop in what I considered to be more fashion led shops. However, during the past couple of years when visiting Primark I have seen a massive change: their clothes appear to be more catwalk inspired, they are much better quality & yet they still keep their price point temptingly low! Now, like many others, when I go in for a browse or to pick up a basic I come out with a bag (or two) full of goodies.

As well as browsing the store I like looking at Primark blog posts & YouTube videos of Primark Hauls!! I don’t know what it is, maybe it is because they don’t have a online shop so instead of being able to browse their site for the latest pieces you have to look at what others have picked up. I decided to follow the ‘Primark Haul’ trend & show you all what I got in October. Hopefully the majority is still in store for you to get your hands on.


Fringed Backpack // £12

Tartan Blanket Scarf // £6
Oversized Fine Knit Jumper // £10

Stud & Chain Bag // £6

Leopard Scarf // £5

Coconut & Vanilla Cream Large Tin Candle // £3.50
Coconut & Vanilla Cream Small Jar Candle // 80p
Sweet Pineapple & Ginger Candle // £2

Stud Earring Sets // £1.50 each

My favorite purchase is the fringed backpack. At first I was unsure thinking it would not suit me & that I might have to take it back but now I absolutely love it! It is a great, on trend accessory to dress up a casual, daytime outfit. As one bag is never enough I also got a small silver stud & chain bag, which is gorgeous, definitely doesn’t look like it only cost £6!

I also love the tartan checked blanket scarf that has two different patterns one on each side. it is so cozy. It looks great paired with the black thin knitted jumper I picked up. The jumper is the perfect staple for anyone’s winter wardrobe, it can be dressed up or down, I now want it in every colour!

The leopard scarf is not as snuggly as the blanket scarf but for £5 it is a great way of adding pattern to any outfit. The earrings were too tempting 9 pairs for £1.50 so I picked them up in both gold & silver.

Finally who can resist a home ware purchase in Primark, they have such a great range. I got three scented candles, two in my favorite coconut & vanilla scent. I thought I would try something new with the pineapple & ginger candle, it did not disappoint, smells amazing. Their candles also come in great packaging that can be reused even after the candle has burnt.

I also made a little festive purchase, which is so exciting! I will do a separate blog post on this later on, so keep an eye out for that. If you love Christmas like I do then you will want to go out and buy it yourself!

Let me know what you have all been buying from Primark, comment or link your blog posts/haul videos below & I will have a look at your goodies.
