April 2013 Haul
Saturday, May 4, 2013

April was Autumn break and so Autumn break basically called out for food so a majority of my money was spent on that. I did however, go out shopping quite a few times yet nothing really caught my eye so these are all from scouring online shops for some pieces. The first photo is actually clothing I bought in real life / collected from Target, the second is a large order from Urban Outfitters and ASOS which arrived today ( 04/05/13 ) and the last is just basically an ASOS order mixed in with some random bits and pieces. The Sephora products are actually from France and my friend Bonnie got it for me so I love her so much and "That Gal" was a trade between a girl in the grade below me who didn't want hers! I also paid sale price on everything excluding the lipbalms and the essence eyeliner so I'm pretty happy. I've frozen my card in a block of ice right now until my exams are over so there might not even be a May haul...hopefully?

one : leather vest from jayjays
two : ksubi slime shirt from target
three : ram singlet from cotton on
four : ksubi shirt from target ( now muscle tee )

five : stay matte powder by rimmel (asos)
six : rosebud salve by smith's ( urban )
seven : healthy mix serum by bourjois
eight : nyx wicked dreams palette - about 1/3 cracked #sadlyf ( urban )
nine : talking pencils ( urban )
ten : free urban tattoos yay ( urban )
eleven : mugs not drugs sweatshirt from truly madly deeply ( urban )
twelve : sushi makeup bag - sorry teresa but i really needed free shipping...if you read this ( urban ) 
thirteen : strawberry lip balm by smiths ( urban )

 
fourteen : waterproof eyeliner in galaxy girl from sephora ( gifted )
fifteen : that gal from benefit ( traded )
sixteen : repair and protection from nivea  x2 ( target )

DETAILS #002
Top : Dotti
Skirt : Tobi ( featured here and found here )

On the 18th of April ( please bare with me and my slow posting, I'm slowly moving photos into my computer ), I headed out with a bunch of people from my current school and my former school to celebrate my friend Katherine's birthday at Wagaya. She had booked a private room and shoes aren't allowed in there therefore the weird picture of my socks. I ended up wearing my combats which have since died on me but I did wear them in my last post (#RIP) and it was a pretty good night! A lot of food photos were taken by me so here's a selection. Names will be added later.






PS. I was too lazy to edit these so sorry for dodgy lighting/ anything like that
