Huge Autumn Haul! - Primark, H&M, The Body Shop & More


Hey guys! Today's post is my Autumn haul, which I have planning on doing for weeks, which meant as soon as I knew I had done pretty much all of my Autumn clothing buying, I quickly got on with this post. Autumn clothes have got to be my favourite, they are so warm and you can layer up! This year I got quite a lot of things from Primark, as their stock seems to be so good and I've noticed that their quality seems to have got better.

Quick note aswell, I just realised, having nearly finished writing this post, that I never included my new Converse in the photos, stupid Millie! So I also bought some black, high-top Converse from La Redoute for £34.40.


H&M Oatmeal-Grey Cable Knit Jumper - £14.99 (Link is the same jumper in another colour) I have been looking for a jumper for weeks without much luck, as I'm allergic to wool which makes finding jumpers ten times harder, meaning when I finally found some in H&M I knew I had to get one. This is so soft and thick, making it perfect for Autumn and Winter!

Primark Fluffy Cream & Black Striped Jumper - £10 I have contemplated whether to get a fluffy jumper or not for a while, because honestly I'm not too keen on them however this one is so soft and doesn't look that bad on! Plus for £10 you can't really complain.

Not quite sure what the blur mark next to the leggings is, there must have been a spot of dust on the camera lense
Primark Dark Denim Skinny Jeans - £9 You really can't go wrong with Primark's denim jeans, considering they are only £9, and the colour range is pretty good! I live in jeans during Autumn and Winter, well all year round really, so I can't wait to try these.

H&M Olive Green Skinny Jeans - £19.99 These jeans were in my Autumn wishlist last month, and after finding a code for £5 off (I think) I had to get them! The colour is great for Autumn and look really great with the H&M jumper and boots.

Primark Black Leggings - £3 I had told myself that I wouldn't buy Primark leggings again, but when I saw that they had started doing non-shiny ones again I caved and bought a pair. Hopefully they will be better than the ones I previously had! Although I'm still on the look out for some Zara ones, preferably the thick, lined version.


Boohoo Off-Shoulder Ruched Navy Dress - £8 I must admit, this isn't for Autumn of course, however I thought I would include it as I bought it around the same time as all my other things. I thought this would be perfect for next year if I was to go on holiday anywhere hot, or, for some extremely strange reason, it is hot again in the UK for the second summer running.

iKrush Perfume Tea Dress - £1!!! This is my ultimate bargain! A couple of weeks ago I saw someone tweet about how iKrush (who I had never heard of before) were doing £1 dresses to celebrate their first birthday, so I, quite literally, stopped what I was doing and ran upstairs to the laptop. Sadly you could only get one dress each, but this was my favourite of the eight or so that they were selling. It is surprisingly really nice and thick, it's definitely the quality of a much more expensive dress!


Primark Frilly Cream & Blue Socks - £1.50 I finally bought a pair of frilly socks. I think they look really nice, plus when I saw them in Primark for £1.50 I knew I had to get them! Hipster socks achieved (oh dear).

Primark Pack Of 5 Fairisle Socks - £3 I have a slight thing for fairisle print, especially in the colour red, so when I noticed these, I realised that they were for me! Anyway I needed some new socks and these are very season/Christmas orientated.

Primark Pack Of 2 Grey & White Fluffy Socks - £2 And another pair of socks, honestly you can't go wrong with Primark socks. I LOVE fluffy socks, and Primark's are better than any others I have tried. You don't feel bad about getting rid of them once they go a bit horrible aswell, since you've been wearing them everyday for months (washing them regularly of course)! 

Primark Bird & Branch Print Scarf - £4 Admittedly this isn't exactly the most Autumny scarf, but when I spotted it I couldn't bare not getting it, so who really cares? It is a really pretty, vintage type print and I will hopefully be able to find an Autumn outfit to match it with!

Tesco F&F Domed Stud Leather Boots - £35 I had set out to buy some nice boots this year, and originally I did buy the New Look ones off my Autumn wishlist, but they absolutely reeked of faux leather! I then went with some others from Tesco which are actual leather and were only about £5 more than the New Look ones, plus they are really similar. They are such comfy boots, definitely have a look at these if you are on the look out for leather boots!


Mudd Hydrating Sea Clay Mask - £2.98 My skin always lacks hydrating during Autumn and Winter, and when I spotted this in Sainsburys I popped it in my trolley. I have never actually tried a proper clay mask before, so I'm really looking forward to trying this one!

Nivea Creme - £2.78 (currently half price in Sainsburys) A couple of months ago I saw this being compared to the Creme De La Mer Moisturising Cream, and how moisturising it is. Having looked up some more reviews on it I thought "yeah, I'll give that a go", and when I saw this in Sainsburys half priced I instantly bought it.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo - On And On Bronze & Metallic Pomegranate - £4.99 each I finally got the two Colour Tattoos in On And On Bronze and Metallic Pomegranate from Boots (buy one get one half price) after hearing so many great things about these two shades. They are perfect Autumn shades and I have already started using them! I'll be reviewing them soon.

Sainsburys TU Pink Grapefruit & Lime Room Spray - Around £3.50 Admittedly this isn't beauty stuff, it is a room spray, but I felt I had to include it because it smells really nice and fresh! I do realise that this is more of a Spring/Summer scent however I don't really mind as it smells amazing. It is quite sweet, whilst still having some sour undertones because of the lime, think The Body Shop Grapefruit shower gel, if you've smelt it, with some sour in it!

The Body Shop Almond Hand & Nail Cream - Free! (Normally £5) Lastly, a little while ago Voucher Codes were giving away free 30ml tubes of The Body Shop hand cream to anyone with the app, and when I found this out me and my friend popped instore and got one each! I have the hemp version somewhere, so I thought that I would go for a change this time and almond smelt very nice. I'm really looking forward to trying it, possibly after writing this post!

Wow I have bought a lot recently! My next big haul will probably be around Christmas or my birthday (its only 8 days before Christmas), unless I do a little haul in-between now and then, so I can save up my money until then. Ahh Christmas isn't long away now!

What things have you bought ready for Autumn recently?

  9. I really like the look of the striped jumper from primark! And I cannot believe the dress for a £1! It's so generous of a company to sell items as cheap as that! I'd say overall that was quite a successful haul you've got yourself there!
