Sunday Round Up #1

Sunday Summary has become my version of what many other bloggers do at the end of the week. I especially love Victoria's and Lily's so thought I would do my own little version.

one After a shaky start to the week, I've a much more positive outlook for this one. While college isn't necessarily for me, I'm focusing on getting it done and over with so I can do what I want to do afterwards. On Wednesday I went out with a few of the girls from college for dinner and cocktails in TGI's. NOM. It was exactly what I needed to cheer me up and their kindness was greatly appreciated.

two  I have come to the realisation (hell, I've always known) that I'm an online shopping addict. I don't buy many clothes in shops as I find the experience daunting; busy and impatient people, snappy sales assistants, the incessant heat of the shops, and the rain in Dublin put me in a constant bad mood. So I've been buying everything online for the last few months (apart from make up, I love being attacked by make up artists). This week I bought this, this, this and these. Eek, I think there may be more but I forget. I wanted a skirt like this to go with the jacket but it sold out just as I went to pay. Boo. If anyone knows a skirt in that style please let me know!

three I've been sick for the past four days. Temperatures, sore throat, back and chest. Slightly miserable really. I write this post from my bed,but tomorrow mark my words I'll be better. And if I'm not, I'm still leaving my house. Apologies for the lack of make up in the picture above, I only had the energy for mascara and lipstick before hopping into bed. I watched Les Choristes last night which is one of my favourite films, if you haven't seen it already check it out. Tearjerker. And I realised how my love for this woman grows and grows. I get my laptop back tomorrow too, hurraah!


four I was mentioned on the Beaut.ie website today, and I just want to say a massive thank you! Their blog is incredible and the best in my little old country! How was everyones weekend?

Happy Sunday!

Mini Haul 2.0

I did it again. I'm sorry - I really have to stop. And I will. Soon.

Actually I'm going to Madrid very soon with a few of the girls just before we go back to college, and I've made a promise to myself (and my mother!) that I will refrain from buying anything until I hit sunny Spain. Duty Free not included of course.

I've obtained an obsession with mens clothes and accessories in the last few weeks, and was looking for weeks to find a woman's version of a flowing shirt top, with no luck. Me and my friend happened upon River Island and wandered into the mens section. Instant happiness! I found the top I was looking for and a beanie hat (I have a major obsession with these, but always lose them!). Size XS in the male section works a treat and actually has a shape, I thought it would just be baggy!

Then I finally got my little mitts on MAC's Painterly Paint Pot, which I've wanted for ages! I've been using it for the past few days and love it, it really keeps my eyeshadow on longer. Does anyone know of any other uses for it?

Claire's Accessories was the next port of call where I got a purple nail varnish and a sweet ring. And then, of course, no Julie Haul would be complete without a trip to Barry M! I bought Barry M Mushroom 310, Bright Purple 303 and Vivid Purple 161. Because I bought these, I got a 7.50euro voucher off No7 products. I always get these and never use them, but I was in a spending mood so got a gold eyeliner.

That morning my package from Dolly Bow Bow was delivered. I got the Telephone necklace. Love it. It came in the cute pink drawstring bag and is beautiful. You can check out the site here.
