Little Primark haul

So i finally went to the currently only Primark in Belgium in Liège. I have been so far to Primark only once and that was in Edinburgh but it was love at first sight. I do not go there to buy a jacket or shoes but for a fun tshirt for one season or a nice summer dress its perfect and obviously what i love it most for: accessories and pyjamas. I had been looking forward to going there for a while but it is a bit of a drive from where i live and the hubby was not convinced that this was his prime saturday morning destination. But well i finally went. I had heard before that Primark can be a bit of a mess, but i thought surely that won't be the case in Belgium and for sure not in Liege. Boy was i wrong. So ye, i did not try on anything and i was very happy we went early. Never the less. I for sure want to go back. So here is a little overview of what i could get my hands on. I just noticed afterwards that i actually bought zero outside clothing but my brain functions reduced themselves upon sight of all the pyjamas and accessories . So that will be for the next trip.



So well first stop was indeed the accessories. I bought two necklaces which i have been wearing since then nearly every day. Perfect way to spice up a pullover or to wear with a tshirt and cardigan. The bracelets i got to wear a bit less since i cannot wear such stuff during lab work, however, i love them on an evening out or during a shopping trip. The last item was this two cute hair crunchies. They do not really look like crunchies once you have them in your hair but more like your hair is bound together by a ribbon. I just love those for a ponytail.


When i spotted this polka dot make up bag i just had to have it. It has so much space and it is now firmly residing on my make up table and contains my everyday make up. I think this one was just 10 euro.

And last but not least, of cause the comfy clothes. Nothing better for a cold autumn and winter day than to cuddle yourself into a comfy pyjama in the couch. I am aware that i went a bit crazy for the christmas theme but i could not resist. I also bought a pair of anti slip socks. When i was a child my mom made me wear anti slip socks in the house cause i would get my house shoes off. I rediscovered them as an adult. Just great for an afternoon on the couch without worrying to slip when you get up to get your tea and the cat thinks that in front of your toes is the best place right now ;). 
I also purchased a package of tights. Those are so amazingly cheap in Primark. The last item was a little owl tea light holder. It was just way to cute and i love owls. That little guy is now standing on my desk. I do not dare to light it cause i am worried my kitty will jump into it (the reason that in normally either put candles on a shelf or in that high wind light type containers) but well i have never been the reasonable one when shopping so i do not regret buying that one at all.
I also purchased several home wear items but i will put those into my christmas decoration post in December :).
In general i have to say the choice at Primark is amazing. Some stuff lacks quality but there is some gems in between. I am definitely going back. I even dug out my bits and pieces of french and answered the cashier upon the question how i liked the store: Trop formidable (Too awesome).

  1. Hello Mica,

    I love the black necklace. I used to be a fan of Primark, but right now I much prefer H&M. Less stress!

    1. H&M is indeed great too. But it does not have such a novelty factor for me ;). I definitely think also that H&M has come a long way recently. However, the PJs are still the best in Primark. Clothing is probably actually even better in H&M. But well why choose when you can have both *shoppingaddict* :P
