MW Goodies: Primark Pickings

Hello Whirlers!

How is everyone's ramadhan coming along? I`m currently at work on my lunch break and blogging! I`m not eating so I might as well use the hour productively. 

Oh, also, I`m going into town more, which isn`t good for my bank account, as I keep buying goodies!!

I popped into Primark and spent a total of £19.00!! And, managed to nab all these bargains!!

1. Scarf.

I think its maxi. Its also really lightweight, so perfect at the moment when we have those summer  moments randomly. Only thing, I don`t like about it is that its really flat, I like scarves that stay looking quite big/volumised. I might have to iron it by running some starch through it, to keep a more structure to the scarf. I hope that makes sense, as I could be talking jibberish due to lack of food!

2. Shirt

I`ve been after a burgundy shirt for a while, and I`ve only started noticing the colour in the autumn/winter catalogues! So, when I saw this shirt on a girl's instagram picture, I had to go out and purchase it!! I absolutely love it! Cannot wait to start wearing it and trying to find loads of new outfits to wear with it. Also, it was a bargain at £3!!! AMAZEBALLS.

3. Jeans

Coloured jeans, another item I`ve been after for a while, and more specifically in burgundy! In this photo, I only included the teal pair, but I did also purchase a burgundy pair. I bought a couple sizes too big, just so it would be comfortable to pray wearing them. I`ve only tried them on so far, they seem really nice. But, again, another two items I cannot wait to mix and match with the rest of my wardrobe.

4. Necklace

I`ve been collecting this type of necklaces, but I have yet been able to wear them out, SIMPLY because I don`t know how to wear it nicely with a scarf!! Can anybody help me? Link me to a youtube video or something?! *cryface*

6. Bracelet

On sale at 50p, couldn`t say no, eh?

Do you like my purchases? Have you recently purchased anything from Primark?

P.S. Have you entered my giveaway yet? Ends two weeks tomorrow!!

MW's Mini Goodies from Forever 21

My Wicked Whirrlers!! :)

Ordered a few little items off Forever 21's website:

Chandelier Long Necklace - £6.60

Long Finger Ring - £3.90

I absolutely love these purchases!! I can definitely see a lot of use out of the necklace, as its black and simple and can be thrown on plenty of outfits. 

(Of course, if you want to be more creative, then why not make a necklace with your own earrings like I did  here. Its obviously more of a wiser option, as you`re wearing your favourite earring lol AND you save money.) 

The ring is cool. I like it. I wore it yesterday, didn`t get too much in the way nor caught in clothes, so I think I`ll be wearing that a bit, too. :)

My only concern was the delivery of my online order. I spent £3.95 on delivery....thats quite dear if I do say so myself, but with that much for delivery, surely one would expect the goodies to be delivered, lets say fairly promptly? I received it over a week later!! And, the ONLY reason I even received it then, was after I emailed F21 and followed up on my order! They said it went to the wrong depot and was being relabeled and sent back to my nearest depot, which meant they only picked up on their error after I brought it to their attention! Thats not good enough for me. They DID refund me on my delivery, but I`d rather not be put in this situation again in the future, especially at £3.95. 

So, in the future, if I really want anything from F21? I`m just going to pop into the stores in London rather than go through the hassle of emailing F21 Customer Services to follow up on my order!

MW's Top Tip: Make Your Own Necklace

Hey Whirllers! :)

Anybody else like me, who before becoming a hijabi had GORGEOUS chandelier earrings, but can`t wear them now because of the hijab?

Well, worry not. You can now still wear them, without the burden of the weight straining on your earlobes!

Do what I did and makeshift them into a long necklace.

What you need:

- Gorgeous Earrings

- Long Chain

- Tiny hoop

- Pliers

What you do:
1. Remove the hook from the earring with the pliers.
2. From where you removed the hook, put the hoop in its place, with pliers. Ensure you tighten the hoop tightly so the earring won`t fall off.
(The hoop is important as this is what makes sure the earring is always facing the front.)
3. Put the tiny hoop (with earring attached to it) through the long chain.
4. Fasten and put on neck and see how gorgeous your chandelier earring is as a necklace.

MW's Retro Raid

Whirllers <3

How is everyone? I decided to raid my parents room yesterday and look at the goodies Mama Bear let me keep!!

Okay, so basically, Mama Bear let me keep:

1. A monochrome faux fur clutch - so gorgeous!

2. A chunky necklace

3. A retro watch that Dad used to wear until battery died, it stopped at 4 o'clock lol

4. A two tone peal bracelet.

5. An oriental pouch. She got given a pearl necklace in that. Wasn`t allowed that though lol.

I`m definitely going to raid my parents room in the near future. Sooo many cute things!! 

Have you ever raided and found something cool in your parents room?
