What Leeroy Brought Today: Quick Trip Edition!

Hey all!

Quick update today along with my quick shopping trip goodies. Today was pay day although January was a short month for me (as I'm sure it was for all of you!) so I went into the cheapest places to go for a browse: Charity shops and Primark. Yes...we all know how much I love Primark...

From: Primark

Price: Around £20

Items

- Acid Wash Blue Skinny Jeans

- Faded Black Studded T-shirt

- Faded American Flag Vest

- Faded Grey Shoes

Got all of the above for about £20. Pretty pleased with these purchases as I have a whole outfit there that will go well with alot of other things I have such as my leather jacket, military boots, denim shirts etc. Trying to buy things for when the weather gets warmer (but I live in the U.K so if that happens remains to be seen!) so I actually have some spring/summer clothes. Primark is getting alot better at catering to male fashion fiends such as myself with their designs, although I noticed alot of their stock is slowly creeping up in price...buyers beware! I really love the acid wash jean, they're the blue equivilant of the ones I bought during my last visit (see previous post). I find it so hard as somebody who has an arse  to find skinny jeans that fit, but Primark never lets me down in that department. 

From: Oxfam/Superdrug

Price: £4.00

Items

- The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson

- Sarah by JT Leroy

-  Garnier Surf Hair Wax

Not exactly clothes/fashion I know but I picked up these 2 books for a really great price at Oxfam. I find that alot of books I want to read or books in general always seem to be so expensive online so I take it upon myself to go hunting in charity shops for them these days. I've already read The Amityville Horror, which was excellent however I really want to read it again. I'm also a huge horror fan so this will go nicely in my little memorabilia collection of horror books! 

I also read The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things by JT Leroy over Christmas and enjoyed it thoroughly. I'd already seen the film a handful of times so I knew the general story but I always want to read the book. Sarah is actually the sequel to THIDAAT so it's pretty lucky that I managed to spot it as I was planning on paying full price for it on Amazon eventually! 

Oh seeing as I have finally grew out my shaved head, I need to start styling my hair again so I picked up some wax. Honestly, it was a royal pain growing it back out but I like changing my hair every few months so it was my own doing I suppose.

Anyways, until next time guys! 

P.S please follow/recommend this blog to your friends! I will be use this blog alot more if I get more followers/comments from people. 

What Leeroy Bought Today: Primark Prince Edition!

Hello all! Long time no see. Busy year and all that jazz, but anyway moving on to more important things like clothes and my new layout. You like? Good, me too. Brings a certain charm to the screen, hmmm?

Okay, so today I did a bit of a shopping in the post-Christmas battlefield that we all know as the January sales. Hell on fucking earth and also a massive disappointment. I'd mooched here and there but most of it was either A) crap or B) not a size XL (soz for having an arse River Island). So, down on my luck with no new garms to fill my joy and happiness I was drawn to the one place that always seems to have SOMETHING for everybody. Yep, I'm talking about Primarni or, as it's commonly and offically called - PRIMARK! Yay for cheap clothes!

Now, in all seriousness I actually like Primark alot. As I say it has something for everyone, it's cheap and yes sometimes the clothes look cheap but it's all about finding the right stuff for you and unsurprisingly, I did!

Acid Wash Black Skinny Jeans

From - Primark

Price - £15.00

I absolutely LOVE acid wash denim. Over the last year it's really took off in denim and become a must-have for many trend setters and when I saw these I had to have them. The great thing about dark jeans in general is that they'll go well with almost anything. I'd pair these with a pair of distressed military boots and cool T-Shirt (like the ones below). Trendy, classic, simple.

     

Grey Long Sleeved Top

From - Primark

Price - £6.00

I mostly bought this for the skull design and the beautiful over-dyed wash it enables. I have got many long sleeved T-shirts so I thought I may aswell for the price. Goes well with a pair of regular jeans and Converse/Vans.

Magenta Over-Dyed T-Shirt

From - Primark

Price - £8.00

Again, I simply bought this for the skull design and the finish. Beautiful colour and quite similar to something that's easily found in your more expensive high street stores such as All Saints, River Island etc. Applied with a pair of skinnys, a leather jacket and some military boots, you're good to go.

Grey Studded Denim Shopper

From - Primark

Price - £3.00

Saw this by the tills hidden behind some Primark branded shoppers. I like using shopper bags in the summer and thought this would be perfect for me and if all else fails it co-ordinates with the rest of my purchases. Quite impressed with this for a Primark purchase and can't really argue with the price!

Skull Ear Stud

From - Topman

Price - £2.50

RRP - £8.00

Okay so I didn't purchase this from Primark, however I did buy it today and it goes with the theme of the post so take it or leave it! Was on sale in Topman and there was 2 in the packet so me and my boyfriend now have one each. Awwwh! 

So all in all I'm quite happy with the purchases today and I can stick two fingers up to the January sales as I have some new gear to keep me happy for...24 hours? But either way I have some excellent choices there to co-ordinate with most things I own. Happy days!

So a bit of advice here though guys, if you're really stuck for something simple that you want to look amazing with those pairs of shoes you just spent X amount of money and you're dreading the price tags of the major high street stores then just check Primark out. It may have what you're looking for...the truth is out there *cue X-Files theme tune*

Until next time guys!
