Hey guys, welcome to my channel and welcome back.

Today I have a trusty favorite video
and it is of course a Primark haul.
I have two big bags, this was two separate trips.
One of which was to the Burnley Primark
and the other one was to the Manchester Primark.
So first of all, I'll start with the Burnley one.
Now it is much smaller, this one,
and the selection is not as good, I'm not gonna lie.
However, I did get a few good finds.
The first one being this, which I've already worn.
It is a like, Roderian Glaze style shirt.
Very, very pretty crochet, frilly sleeve detailing there
and also the crochet carries on
throughout the rest of the sleeve.
It was in a sale from 12 to five,
but when I went to the Manchester Primark,
they had loads of these at full price.
I also picked up this little slip dress kind of thing,
which is in a size large and the reason being for this
was because when I was looking at it,
a woman came up to me and said,
oh, I've just bought that and they run very small,
so if you're not wanting it super, super tight, size up.
It's one of these like, bodycon style dresses,
you know, the super stretchy,
Bridget Jones style knicker fabric, that kind of thing.
It's got a bit of lace detailing on the bottom.
The reason why I've got this dress was because
if you watch my Zara haul, which I'll leave a little card
to if you haven't yet seen that,
and a couple of the dresses are like virgin sheer,
so more suited to beach wear,
but if I wanted to wear them out and about day to day,
then a little slip dress under them would be fine,
so that's why I picked this one up.
I've already worn it, so I've taken the label off,
but I believe it was about five pounds.
Okay, next up I have a very, very trusty,
favorite one that I've worn loads and it is this dress.
I have this in like a rust color with stripes
and I got that one ages ago in the sale
for like a super, super steal, like three quid or something.
Wear it all the time when it's really hot.
It's just a nice, floaty dress.
So I found this one, it's the exact same style,
just a different color and pattern and print and everything.
Obviously, as you can tell, this mustard color
with this pretty pattern along the bottom as well
and I size up, so I did get this in a 14
and then the little rope tied around the waist
cinches it in.
Next up, I picked up this little number.
Do, do, do, do.
I wanted some more straw hats and I saw this one
and I hate this, I'm not gonna lie,
so I am gonna take this off.
It was only in the sale for two pounds,
so you get the gist of what it's like.
I'm not 100% sure about this.
Oh, I forgot about these.
Got these in the sale from 12 pounds down to three pounds,
three pounds for a pair of staple neutral colored trainers,
which more so as it gets a bit cooler
and in fact, it's tipping it down today,
so maybe when it's raining as well.
For three pounds from 12, it's a bargain.
I did size up to a size seven in these.
Okay, and the last thing that I got on this trip,
I picked up this.
It is a homeware piece.
It's a candle in smoked amber and moss.
Burns up to 60 hours and I loved the design of this.
As you can tell, it's like that vintage
kind of brown glass with a cork lid.
Just a super classic design that is very on trend
with my kind of interior at the minute.
The creams, the browns, the wooden, the woven,
the natural kind of earthy fabrics, materials and colors.
Love it.
So this was only four pounds.
They had smaller versions as well.
I think they were two pound 50, but I went for the big one.
So moving on to what I bought at Manchester yesterday.
I was after a pair of nude court heels and I found them.
I wanted a really browny nude and as you can tell,
these are like a true brown nude.
They're like a nice matte kind of finish
that are just, I don't really know what the fabric is,
but also the back of the heels,
I don't know if you can see that,
but they slightly go up like that,
which when they're on, they don't rub at all.
So if you have issues with shoes
rubbing at the back of your heels,
these almost like come away from your heels.
So they like hug your heel really nice.
They're not gonna dig in.
I picked these up for 12 pounds.
I'm gonna get a lot of wear out of these.
I've got a black pair, which are my Jimmy Choo's,
my black patent ones, which I love.
And I just think a classic court shoe
you should have in both a nude and a black.
So yeah, picked these ones up.
Okay, these were really interesting.
When I saw these, I was super excited to find them.
When I tried them on, I was like, meh, they're okay.
They're not as life-changingly, drastically amazing
as I thought they were gonna be,
but they are still a good staple denim short.
They have this kind of paper bag waist design,
which I've seen Sarah Ashcroft do within the style.
So that kind of style,
as you can see at the back there as well,
it just kind of cinches in.
And also they're not tight around the leg, which I like,
because there's nothing worse for me personally
and my body shape and everything
than having a really tight pair of denim shorts
that are super, super short.
So I've gone with these,
and I just think they're gonna be a staple classic
that I'll get a lot of wear out of
when I'm after grabbing a pair of denim shorts.
In fact, are these the only pair I've got now?
Yeah, I think they are,
because I threw out the others.
They were too short, didn't wear them,
other than maybe on holiday with a bikini.
So these, hopefully, I will actually get
a lot more use out of.
And they were in a size 10,
and they cost me 15 pounds.
Okay, when I saw this next piece,
I instantly was drawn to it,
and I just knew it was going in my basket.
It's like a denim dungaree style dress with pockets,
and the current favorite of mine,
tortoiseshell buttons running all the way down.
And it's in a cream as well, which is really nice,
because sometimes white can be quite harsh, I think.
So it's like more softer and subtle,
and yeah, just really, really like this.
It was 12 pounds, and I really like it.
I think I will wear something under it.
Maybe that slip dress, or like this bandeau,
which is pretty little thing.
Another find that I was instantly drawn to was this,
and I think the reason being
is the color of it's really unique as well.
It's a nice, light, floaty design.
It's got pockets.
It's like a little play suit.
I got it in a size 10, and it was 13 pounds.
It is short, so I'm probably more inclined
to take this one abroad with me,
or on those days that it's really hot.
I also picked up something that I was so happy to find.
If you have seen my previous Primark hauls,
I found these pair of straight jeans.
I can see them out the corner of my eye now.
They're the perfect fit on me.
I never thought I would like straight
as opposed to just skinny, but they're figure-hugging,
they're tight around the waist, they're high-waisted,
but because they don't go tight around my ankles,
and they're just kind of from the knee down full,
and they're still a little bit cropped, but just full,
with a bit of frayed edging at the bottom,
they're just so much more flattering
than skinny on my body shape,
so when I tried those on in my last Primark haul,
I was like, please, Primark, do them in white,
and went to the Manchester Primark, found them in white,
so this is what they look like.
Now, I do size down in these to a size eight.
I'm very much a 10, if not a bit bigger, on the bottom.
Those ones I got in an eight as well,
and so I tried these on an eight.
They didn't actually have any 10s available,
and 12s would have been way too big,
so eight is the one I went for,
because they're nice and tight around the waist,
and once you're finally in them, they're comfortable.
This is what the bottom looks like, the little frayed hem.
It's only very subtle.
You can even pull it a little bit more if you wanted to,
but yeah, love these, and they are,
I think they're 13 pounds, are they?
13 pounds.
Okay, last two bits.
They're both tops.
The first one is like a staple,
as and when I need a bandeau.
Then I've got this scuba one,
but I also now have this, which is a ribbed one
with tortoiseshell buttons running down the middle.
It's in a size 10, and this one's only four pounds,
so super, super good bargain.
They have them in different colors as well,
and then last but not least
is probably one of my favorite things
I got from the Manchester one.
In fact, no, the jeans are probably the favorite,
but second to them would be this top.
It was 10 pounds, which for a little crop top in Primark,
I think it's pretty steep,
but the style of it and the design, as you can tell,
is very on trend, very me, very pretty.
It's this crochet design with a little tie around the middle
which I just think is so pretty.
Off the shoulder like so or around the neck,
but I would probably wear it off the shoulder,
and I'd wear it with something high-waisted,
so either maybe these trousers,
these little pretty little thing trousers,
or the high-waisted straight jeans, maybe the blue ones.
So yeah, a really pretty top, a staple,
and I just think it's super, super cute.
So that is everything that I got on this trip to Primark,
just as I can tell in the corner of my viewfinder
that the battery's about to go.
I just wanted to say thank you so much for watching.
I hope you enjoyed it.
Give it a thumbs up if you did.
Stay tuned for more videos.
Please subscribe if you haven't already,
and I will see you guys in my next video.
Bye, guys.
I'm gonna go back a bit.
Ooh, oh, God.
Let's stop now.
Okay.
Oh, no, the battery's going.
Hi, guys, welcome back to my channel.
If you're joining me, oh, let's change that up a bit.
Welcome to my channel if you're joining me
for the first time, and welcome back
if you are an old, old subscriber.
I'll try that again.
One of which was to Burnley, Manchester.
The other one was Burnley, Manchester.
Burnley, Primark.
The other one, which was,
with, like, crochet detailing.
Now, I have washed this.
Oh, there's spider on it.
Oh, it was on my arm.
Oh, no.
Oh, God.
I was after some neutral, nude, court-style hoops.
Let's try that again.
They're not as life-breakingly, life-breakingly?
I've tried it on, and I've not done it up,
so just hold on, bear with me one second.
Also, I got it in a 12, but I tried it on a 12,
and it fit fine, so I went with it.
Got it in a size 12.
