Edinburgh haul and pictures!

Hey guys! So, a couple of weeks ago me, my family and my friend Lauren went to Edinburgh for the day shopping and to check out the Christmas market! I did have a little shop, for myself before i begin going mad and buying ALL of my gifts last minute (as i do every year, c'est la vie...)

Edinburgh is so beautiful all year round, but especially at Christmas time the market comes out with so so SO many food stalls, rides, they have so much to do and it's all over parts of the city! If you like in Edinburgh.. i am incredibly jealous.

Bit of a mixed post as i will show you what i purchased, along with a few photos of the Christmas market and telling you what it was like!

Enjoy!

Firstly, lets have a look at the things that i bought! I went firstly into Topshop, it's the first store i see as soon as i walk out of the train station and what a better place to start! Topshop have now started bringing in their Christmas-y clothes but as always when i go shopping lately, there was nothing that i liked; or if i liked it they didn't have it in my size!

BUT i did find a pair of what i call "Noel Fielding boots" (if you're a Noel Fielding, or a Mighty Boosh fan you'll be with me on this!) ready for winter in the sale for £30!

Noel Fielding boots, am i right?

Next, we went into New Look and again all of their Christmas stuff was out, but my eyes were drawn once again, to the sale! Trying to save some money before Christmas...

I found a long maroon cardigan that i was drawn to, mainly because of the 50% sign but that was just a bonus!

I mainly bought it because in the winter months it's great to layer clothes to keep warm and to add a little something to an outfit, rather than just wearing a coat. I thought this would go great underneath my parka coat or even when the weather starts to get a little bit warmer it'll be great to wear on it's own as well.

It was only £15 so it was a total bargain as well! New Look are doing a huge sale of 50% off right now so have a look online at what you can snap up!
(Sorry i don't have a photo of this one.)

Next, we both went into Zara. Now, i'm not usually a huge fan of Zara as i don't often see anything in there i like but i did manage to find a little something this time.

A plain white t-shirt (i know it's not totally plain but still!) is oddly something that i don't have in my wardrobe but i saw this one and i thought i'd have it.

It's so simple and again going back to layering it would look great as a staple top and layered up with a cardigan, wooly jacket and a nice and snug hat!

At only £10 as well, it was a steal!

We both couldn't resist going into Lush either of course! The Lush in Edinburgh is a Lush Spa as well, there's only a few of them in the UK as far as i know, so i was pleasantly surprised with this! Sadly, it was packed and i couldn't get anywhere near the bath bombs which was the main reason i went into Lush, but luckily i went and had a look at the hair stuff and i stumbled upon all of their hair masks. Now, my hair isn't in the best condition, i dye it, use far too much heat on it so i'm always on the market for anything that'll sooth my dry hair! I managed to find what's called "roots" which is for quite fine and damaged hair and it's suppose to make your hair feel lush (pardon the pun) and smooth, sounded perfect to me! It's not the cheapest product as £10

.95 but you get a lot in there and it's got year's date on it, you'll get your money's worth out of it!

That wasn't the only product that i bought in Lush. I hear so so many people rave about the salt spray they do and i thought i'd try it for myself! I have to admit, the smell put me off slightly, it smells sort of like cigars but once you get past that it's something worth purchasing! I've used it a couple of times in the roots of my hair and given it a little tease and it does give a fair bit of something extra in your hair, as well as using it on the ends of your hair and "scrunching" to give another look.

I can't remember the exact price, but you'll find it on Lush's website!

That was all i bought!

BUT

This post isn't over just yet, we also went and visited the Edinburgh Christmas market! It's so beautiful, there's food stalls, rides, present stands and so much more!

I've got a few photos from there too, enjoy!
