Cats & Dogs

So, I went shopping yesterday; I promised myself that I wouldn't get anything as I went last week too! However, before I knew it I was in Primark and one thing lead to another until I found myself in the queue with an armful of items. I also had a sneaky shop in Paperchase before I realised that everything I bought was either cat or dog themed-hence to title and hence the post.

Cat nails
First, I saw these adorable false nails that are just £1 from Primark! I didn't actually realise that you get 24 nails in a pack, so I bought two! Although, I love these nails so much I will definitely get use out of them. The pack comes with useful application instructions and the glue dries pretty instantly. When applying, I recommend going outside or opening a window because of the fumes from the glue. You get an assortment of nails, some polka dots and others with cat French tips. I decided to do random nails on each hand without a particular pattern as I prefer it to look a bit more random.

I've been wearing these for about a day now and only one nail has come off, only because I didn't glue it properly. The nails are really  If you have naturally long nails, you might need to trim them down and these nails are about medium length. Another fantastic product from Primark!

Pug phone case
I have a growing phone case collection and this adorable pug case is the latest addition. It was only £3 from Primark, which I thought was an absolute steal and shops like the Apple Store often charge around £30 for their cases! The design is so cute; it features a pug (of course) with ray-bans and a neckerchief!

Sadly, this case is only for iPhone 5/5s however Primark also do a range of cases exclusive to iPhone 4/4s. I really like silicone cases as they are less brittle than the hard plastic ones and absorb shock really well.

Cat water bottle
I wanted a new water bottle as all of mine from Primark have cracked. I saw this adorable one in Paperchase for £6 and decided to get it. It has a really unique design which I haven't seen before. The bottle itself is actually quite small and features a detachable cup-perfect for picnics. Personally, I am going to remove the cup to make the bottle the perfect size for my bag. The way you drink from it also contrasts to a conventional water bottle. There is a little stopper at the top of the bottle with a hole to drink from.

The design is really cute and colourful and the bottle is also good quality. I am looking forward to using this to stay hydrated!

 

I hope you enjoyed this post!

 

 

Polo neck jumpers

When I was younger, I would dread when my mum would next dress me in the black polo neck that lingered in my wardrobe. But now, my attitudes have changed after seeing my childhood enemy gracing the catwalk at London Fashion Week. The high neck is interesting to work with because you can experiment with items like statement necklaces.

I do not own images, they are from Polyvore

 

For both of these outfits, I chose a plain grey polo neck from Miss Selfridge. It can be purchased at a sale price of £10 and there are some left in a few sizes. However, this style of top is relatively easy to hunt down on the high-street. You can find better quality versions at high-end, high-street stores like Hobbs and Whistles. I like how this grey top is the focal point of both outfits, however is minimal enough to be paired with statement pieces.

 

Outfit 1:

I would tuck this style of top into a skater skirt like the one above; it costs a tenner from H&M but I would also recommend Primark and New Look for similar items. I love the mix of fuchsia and baby-pink on the skirt, which adds a pop of colour to the bland t-shirt. I think that the Topshop loafers are perfect for this outfit as the raspberry tone ties this look together; they are perfect for spring but are a little bit of a splurge at £42!

 

Outfit 2:

I think this jumper works really well with short denim dungarees. You could try it with longer 'mom jean' dungarees however, I think the shorter style works well as the long-sleeved top balances it out. These are £24.99 from New Look. Try to go for darker denim, the lighter your top is as you don't want the outfit to be too insipid. I love the leopard print sandals in this outfit, the plain outfit acts as the perfect canvas to project the statement pattern. Like the loafers, these sandals are from Topshop and cost £50.

Pugs

I love pugs; they are so cute! As a pug-lover, I decided to find clothes and home stuff that feature them. I hope you enjoy the post!

Images from product sites/polyvore

 

Frilly pug socks: These adorable Topshop-style frilly socks are £2.50 from River Island. They are adorable and have a real pink ribbon. You would probably have to wear these with shoes that are lower than the ankle to unleash the little pug!

 

Flying pugs wall art: This modern, metallic twist on the flying ducks is pretty amazing. This wall art comes from notonthehighstreet.com and costs £79. This decoration is pricey, but it would make an amazing statement on a plain wall. These pugs, based on the artist's own pup, also come in black.

 

Pug onesie: This Kigu onesie is £39.99 and looks super-soft and not to mention comfy! I opt for Primark onsies as I prefer the designs and price, however I have friends who love the Kigu ones too.

 

Purse: This adorable purse is £9.99 from New Look. The neutral colour scheme would match any handbag-plus who can resist the face of an adorable pug to stash your cash?

 

Maroon baseball jumper: Two fashion favourites of mine are pugs and baseball tops so I'm in love with this! It comes from New Look and is £15. I would dress this up with a white or denim shirt.

Pug cookie: Awww! How cute is this? This biscuit is from Eat My Cake London and is £7; you can buy these pug biscuits via notonthehighstreet.com however, they are currently out of stock. I think that a cookie like this would be perfect for any sweet-toothed pug fanatic.

Pug balm: This balm is for hands and body, perfect for dry wintery skin. This product has a lemongrass-based scent and is £12.99 from Pugs Might Fly via notonthehighstreet.com. I would hope the quality of this product is top-notch due to the price.

T-shirt and necklace: Both of these products are from notforponies who specialise in cartoony pug clothes to the extent they have a whole page on their site, dedicated to the stock. This t-shirt is adorable and is a gorgeous soft-blue shade. The top is £22 and the cute acrylic French Pug necklace is £12.

Socks: I love these graphic print socks from River Island for £4. I own a similar pair of socks that feature cupcakes, and I find that the design is stretched and distorted when I wear them. I hope that these socks, being more expensive, will also be better quality. Like the other socks, I would sport these with shoes that are below the ankle so you can see the pug!

Pyjama bottoms: David and Goliath have a gorgeous range of pug-tastic products ranging from hats to t-shirts. I think £20 is quite a lot for a pair of pyjama bottoms, although they are adorable! However, be sure to check out the rest of the range!
