*music*
Good morning, I'm in one of the
expensive parts of London today.
I'm a little bit ill. Don't mind me if I sound like
one of those calls over a supermarket tannoy. I am off to Asprey,
because Asprey are lending me some jewelry- jewel-ray? Asprey lending me some jewelray... For when I present a part of the Oliviers on Sunday.
It's all quite fancy pants,
I feel a little bit out of place.
Never have I seen so many security guards outside of shops before. I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing anything that
expensive that it had to be guarded
by a man in the black suit with glasses and a headpiece before I bought it.
So I was just in Asprey to try some jewelry on. I was in there all of seven minutes before I found something I loved.
They had a necklace and a bracelet, but annoyingly they didn't have the earrings that went with it.
So I'm now in House of Fraser about to try on dresses.
And then I'm going to take a picture of said dress and send it to
Charita, the woman who helped me out Asprey, and
there was another collection that I really liked, that had
earrings, necklace, rings, bracelets- to have sort of more choice, so I might say that it's a better choice to go with those ones.
I don't know,. But I'm about to try on some very nice dresses in House of Fraser, because House of Fraser are very kindly
dressing me from their ISSA collection.
So let's do that. Okay, this dress isn't in the collection that they let me borrow from. This is from Coast, but I fallen so
madly in love with it, that I'm just gonna buy it.
But it makes me feel like I am a cross between a Disney Princess and a Disney villain,
somewhere in the like Maleficent, Ursula, Lady Tremaine
type category. I really like it guys. I really like it. There are so many people that say to me:
'Oh, I could never wear those dresses. I'm a size 12 to 14.', and I'm like 'Hey guys,
I'm also size 12 to 14, if I can rock it, so can you.'
God I love Penhaligon's perfume. Oh, it's so expensive, but it's so beautiful.
*sprays self*
Shh.
Everyone's been walking towards me with little cans of coke, and I can only assume that they're free, and I've just spotted the Coke Zero
man, and I am on my way.
*street noises* Carrie: Hi, thank you very much. Thank you.
Carrie: Yes!
I am thrilled. *takes sip*
Thank you Coke people, I really appreciate it. Is it just British people that really love free things, or is that a universal thing?
Do I need to go in? I don't, but I'm gonna do it anyway.
Something happened, they fell in. I don't know what you're talking about.
I wasn't even gonna go in, and I've come out with a bag of four things.
*sighs*
*soft background noise*
I have never- I don't think- ever done a haul of any kind, but as you saw in the beginning of this video,
I went shopping today.
I went to Primark, because I needed some holiday clothes and some holiday bits and bobs, because I'm going to Disney World on
Monday, for two weeks. I also went to a smaller Primark last week to pick up a few bits and bobs,
but today I went to the big Primark on Oxford Street, on the corner of Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road.
And that's like five floors of Primark goodness, so I'm gonna show you what I got. The first couple things
I'm going to show you, aren't actually from Primark.
They are from a website called Lindy Bop. Now the reason I'm showing you these first, is because I've got a few things from Primark
specifically to go with what I got from Lindy Bop. I got this patchwork skirt, but it's very like
1940s, it's got little posters that say 'make do and mend'. It just looked like a very old-fashioned print, and I just really
really liked it. This was 27 pounds. Then I also got this skirt,
just a lovely bright yellow, with a big strip of white at the bottom. But my favourite thing,
it's got pockets. This was also from the Lindy Bop and was also 27 pounds. So to go with those skirts
I got a few little vest tops from Primark in various different colours, this one as well.
They were one pound eighty each. And then I got a few shirts to go with the skirts.
They- this- I just really liked this one. It feels very summery. I do love a candy stripe.
This was eight pounds,. And then I got this one, this one's a different material, this one feels much softer.
That's sort of a- this feels like a like your crepe paper type material.
This one's like t-shirt material, and this one was also half the price. This one was four pounds. Okay, now
we move on to the things I got today. I very much went with the Disney theme,
I got this t-shirt, which is just covered in Mickey Mouse faces. I got it in size 18,
which is a bit bigger than I am. I'm like a size 12 to 14.
But Florida's hot, and I wanted something big and baggy. I didn't want something
tight-fitting. But I also knew if I was pairing this with a skirt,
I could tuck it into the top of the skirt, the top the skirt would cinch me
in anyway, and then I really like it when you sort of like pull out the sides of a t-shirt,
so it's sort of billows over the edge of a skirt.
I don't know. I just like that, so that's what I was going for. This was four pounds.
I also got this t-shirt that says 'smile'. I also find it very amusing that the hearts go on my boobs.
It's very CoppaFeel, I feel. This was a bargain at two pound fifty.
Two pound fifty. This t-shirt was slightly more expensive, this was eight pounds, but
I absolutely
love it. It's got Stitch on it. Look!
I got this in a size 14, because it seemed quite big anyway. Now I am hourglass shaped.
I've got big shoulders, big boobs, small waist and then big hips. So I always find buying shorts
a nightmare, because I always like high-waisted shorts,
so I need
small in the waist, so like a drawstring in the waist, and then big at the ass. I found these shorts,
they've got a drawstring so I bought them at- in a bigger size,
I've got them in a size 16, and they just looked- they look quite good quality actually.
And they look like they're just very big and stretchy, and then you can cinch them in at the waist, which is
which is the plan. I also bought these shorts. They're quite
see-through, I don't know if you can see that, like they're-they're quite sheer.
So I thought they'd be good for
whacking on when I go to the pool, putting one over my swimming costume. They smell really nice, which
makes me think that someone's tried them on before me, and they smelt really nice,
which also kind of creeps me out a little bit.
I went into House of Fraser today, and I was looking at their bras and I found a really nice bra,
and I was like 'oh, I really want that'.
70 pounds. 70!
Not seventeen.
Seventy. Seven zero.
I really liked the bra, but I was like 'I can't justify spending
70 pounds on my boobs' like that's- especially if no one's ever gonna see it. No one's ever gonna
see it. So I went to Primark and got myself a bra instead, and it was two pound fifty. And it's cute,
I really like it.
How cute is that? That is a cute bra. Now I also saw these,
and I
am a big fan. They are strapless bras,
with no clasps at the back. There's two of them here. They came as a set. They haven't got any clasps
anywhere, you just sort of- they're like boob tubes.
But they're padded. I think these are gonna be a holiday hit, then I got some Disney PJ's.
I saw these and loved them. These were six pounds, and they've got the genie on them.
And it says 'you called!', and it's the genie bursting out the lamp, and then they came with
these very cute little shorts. Again I went a size bigger, because who wants to sleep in tight stuff.
I've got these in an extra-large. I also got these very sweet little
sandals with daisies, I guess, little white daisies, and they strap up on the side.
They were six pounds.
I needed a makeup bag thing with compartments, preferably see-through so I could see all my makeup, and then I found
this.
Look at it. Just take that in for a second.
Just take that in for a second. Minnie Mouse. Minnie Mouse. Then- I've already filled this with my makeup,
I've already had so much fun
sorting this out-,
velcro. *gasps*
Look at that, look at it, just- just look at it.
How amazing is that? Ladies and gentlemen, this was six pounds.
Six
pounds! For that! I'm just- I am thrilled with that purchase.
I really wanted a backpack for this Disney holiday.
I don't usually take backpacks to Disney, but for some reason this year
I really wanted to. I don't know why, I just have- I have had tunnel vision and I was like I need a
backpack', and I had seen Primark. was doing plain black backpacks, but with Mickey ears on the top. Now
I went to the Primark local to me, and
they had one, but it just had loads of like Union Jack's all over it, and like the word 'London' everywhere.
I just didn't like it, but I then found
this backpack. It's a Minnie Mouse one.
So it's just a plain white backpack with little ears.
And then Minnie Mouse's bow, and I was like 'brilliant'. 12 pounds, sorted.
Then I went to the big Primark on Tottenham Court Road, and I found the one that I originally wanted.
I found just the plain black- and also it's got this little clasp,
that you have to turn the Mickey upside down in order for it to match
the Mickey shaped upside down hole. I- I appreciate that. I think that's great. So my good friend
Celinde Schoenmaker,
I'm still so good at that. I've perfected that over the years. My friend Celinde is coming to Disney for the first week,
so I have given her the Minnie Mouse one, and I'm gonna take the Mickey one, and together we are gonna match.
We are ready for Disney World. Okay, the final thing that I got in Primark, isn't for me. Also
attending this Disney World trip are my gorgeous nephews Buzz and Buddy,
and I happened to wander into the kids
clothing section in Primark, and I picked them out matching outfits, but I'm really excited about it.
I found these gorgeous little Hawaiian shirts.
Look at that, look how cute that is. So I got them one each. Auntie Carrie also got them chinos!
I got them pink chinos. Look how cute they are.
I mean Buzz and Buddy are gonna look so good.
They're gonna look so good in those. And then to top it all off, auntie Carrie
got them hats.
How great are they? I've got them little hats. Oh, I'm so excited.
I'm so excited to give them these. I really- I really hope they like them.
I really hope they like them. So that it's pretty much everything I bought in Primark.
I'm very excited about it all, very excited about the holiday. I cannot wait.
*excited clapping*
Bye. *click click*
