When a Selfridges visit leads to Primark heaven

-

Selfridges in London is my favourite department store. It's located on the famous Oxford street and has everything under one roof but my recent discovery is one not to miss!

Selfridges is home to all the top designer brands and also has an affordable fast fashion department on the ground floor. Topshop, Miss Selfridge and H&M Can all be found but my new found love is the Primark section where all the garments are neatly presented and also boasts a limited edition range.


I managed to snap up this gorgeous statement necklace for just £8 and a cute evening bag for £12. Both items were from the "limited edition" range and couldn't believe I had 2 items for £20!

Although the quality of the bag is not fantastic it certainly doesn't look like it cost £12. It has an ethnic pattern , a gold coloured clasp and gold chain that adjusts to 2 sizes. This particular bag is fairly small in size but perfect for a night out or a special occassion.

The necklace when worn is full of detail, it catches the light and isn't garish at all, infact I have received quite a few compliments when I have worn it and people are shocked when I say it's from Primark. I felt the necklace also had an ethnic look and was a perfect match with the evening bag.

Although Primark has a department there isn't a large selection but the hidden gems that can be found will have you only paying Primark prices whilst shopping in Selfridges.

A few weeks ago I couldn't help but revisit Selfridges and take a detour to the Primark section and again I found myself picking up a few items at unbelievable prices. The beauty of Primark being in Selfridges is the fact you are able to browse items without the stress of crouds and items falling off the rails.

I found two shirts - one monochrome with gold button detail, I chose it because it resembled a classic Chanel style and the second was an oversized white shirt with gold button detail.
Anyone would think I am slightly obsessed with gold buttons / detail... I am not going to lie... I do love it!
So ...The next time you pop to Selfridges  - don't forget you can leave the store with one of their iconic yellow bags and pay Primark prices! :)

Are you a Mamia Mum?

Have you tried the Mamia range from Aldi? I have to admit I love an Aldi shop and have previously bought quite a few items from their Special Buys... who doesn't love the middle aisles of magical items?! Once Aria arrived they were my first choice for nappies for her as they are voted one of the best brands for newborns and not to mention great value! So when they got in touch and asked me to review their Mamia range I was more than excited! Yes a trip to Aldi without making excuses to my husband. I was given £30 and I was shocked with how much I could buy! (pictured above was just half of it) Being a new mum brings all kinds of stresses and you start realising quite quickly that you want the best for your baby but you also need to shop a lot smarter. The Mamia range offers the core essentials you need for your baby, so I was keen to put it to the test. Nappies and Nappy sacks   Whilst I had previously used these, I had recently swapped to another supermarket br...

Every so often I love to share what I have found useful. Why? Because being a mum its hard to know what you need, what you don't need and how much money it all is! So heres a little insight to what I am loving and I feel has been money well spent: Matchstick Monkey: Have you heard of Matchstick monkey? All I can say is move over Sophie the giraffe there is a new animal in town and I love it.. and as you can see so does Aria! I purchased this when Aria was 4 months old and I haven't looked back. It comes in all kinds of colours, its easy for baby to hold and chew/ suck on AND has a bumpy texture behind the monkeys head to help babies with the texture of brushing their teeth. She takes it most places and its easier to sterilise. For me this teething toy is a game changer and I recommend it to everyone with babies!     The IKEA highchair: Highchairs can be bulky/ expensive and hard to choose. I was so put off by the whole process until my...

Mom Life - The Style Bubble baby products i am loving!

I have had a few of my followers suggest I blog more about Mum life and so I've decided to do a round up of my products I am absolutely loving so far! Being a mum to be or a new mum its sooo easy to fall in the trap of buying every single product on the market because you are led into believing you need it all, truth is you don't. So I have decided to help you cut out the crap and purchase the things you do need and not what you are being told to buy! The Snuzpod:  Originally I wanted to be classic and purchase a Moses basket. Its traditional, pretty and my sister had one and my mum had them when we were babies so I wanted to follow their footsteps. My husband suggested otherwise and to be honest I am thankful he did. The Snuzpod is pricey but pricey with perks. It has a mesh side panel, so when you are in bed you can watch baby, quite comforting in the early days as all you want to do is stare at them. If you want you can also remove the side so you connect ...
