USA haul!

So I bought quite a bit while I was in the USA (New York and Washington D.C), so I decided just to post what I bought because I like watching and reading blog posts on other people's hauls to get an idea of their sense of style and so I know what to look for when I go out, I do this especially with primark hauls. Anyway, on with the show.

1. Lucky Charms (don't remember the price sorry, I think it was $3 - $4?)
I loooooove American food, I haven't actually tried these before and I don't usually like marshmallows but these marshmallows are supposedly not as soft as normal ones so I might like it. Zoe (Zoella) seems to love them and I love her and so I hope I love these, she won't be reading this but I LOVE YOU ZOE K BYE

2. Black Converses ($25)
WHAT A FIND. I said I wanted to buy converses in the USA because I thought they'd be cheaper there, I went to T.J Maxx (US version of T.K Maxx) and omg $25 that's like under £20! They only had this size so they're a bit big because in US sizes I think I'm like a 7-7.5, I've already worn these so much already.

3. Cookies and Cream Pop Tarts
I love pop tarts. That is all.

4. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups ($1.99?)
Three words - nom nom nom. I don't usually like peanut butter but Reese's peanut butter is sweeter and has chocolate too, we stayed in the centre of New York so there were like no supermarkets so these ones were expensive. I didn't get to a supermarket until I was staying with family where I bought more though, so if you're going to Manhattan be prepared to be bombarded with high prices.

5. Nirvana Shirt ($9.99 from J.C Penneys)
This shirt was reduced from $12 which still would have been about £8 which is reasonable for a band shirt, but when it was reduced further I knew I had to get it because it would've been silly not to. I really like Nirvana and they're one of my favourite bands.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A HIPSTER WEARING BAND SHIRTS TO LOOK COOL WHEN I'VE NOT HEARD ANY OF THE BAND SONGS.
I bought it in a medium size because it was a men's shirt, so hopefully it'll be baggy so I can tuck it into shorts or a skirt.

6. SWEETS ($54)
Spent a lot of money on sweets, hopefully it should last a while. I LOVE THE SWEETS IN THE USA! English sweets are so boring, except Cadbury's. Cadbury's is amazeballs but Hershey's smells like cheese and tastes like plastic, sorry Americans.

7. Banana Split Oreos
I bought these for my friends because one of them wanted different types of oreos, and I wanted to bring all my friends something to try but none of my other friends specified what they wanted so I brought these. Awaiting their responses..

 8. Martin Luther King/Trayvon Martin ($5)
This is like an unofficial shirt which I bought at the march at Washington D.C, I really like it and the messages of MLK. 3 words - let freedom ring.

9. Denim blouse from Macy's brand Guess ($47.40)

Don't get me wrong, I would never pay this much even though it was 40% off, my Aunt saw I liked it and bought it for me while I was looking at something else. That being said, it's nice quality and can be worn with a lot of things, not double denim though sorry no. I think this goes with dresses, more tight fitting shirts, shorts, could go with anything really, but it's not really a good buy if you're on a budget.

10.  Skinny jeans from Forever 21 ($7.90)

These are skinny but they look baggy on this picture, very cheap but nice quality jeans I think. As winter is appropriate I need to start wearing jeans again so woo winter wear. Can't wait to buy winter jumpers again, yes!

11. Hair Slides ($1.80)

Pretty decent price for a pretty decent product, I thought these are cute and might look nice if I start wearing my hair in a bun to add some accessories.

12. Freebies from hotels! (FREE)

So I picked up some body lotion and moisturiser from my hotels, I haven't used them yet but I want giving up the opportunity of free skin care!

Thanks for reading, I will stop posting about my holiday now!

What to eat in the USA

PFood was one of the main parts of my trip to the USA, so here are the things that I enjoyed.

Reese's peanut butter cups are so nice, they sell them in the UK but I think they're more expensive and there are more variations in the USA, I don't usually like peanut butter but in Reese's it's sweet and chocolatey :)

A Wendy's baconator, omg why they don't have Wendy's in the UK anymore I'll never know. It's like a proper burger but fast food, omg x10000000 better than McDonald's.

I went to IHOP twice, the first time I got a toasted sandwich type thing and I made my family go back so I could get pancakes, so I got chocolate chip pancakes. One of the workers in the IHOP I went to the second time gave us 2 mugs to bring back to the UK, how nice right?

Chinese food is Chinatown, I had sweet and sour chicken with egg noodles. Best. Chinese. Food. Ever. Seriously, it was a huge portion so I couldn't finish it but it was amazing yum yum

Pop tarts! This is a cookies and cream one which was nice, I also had a chocolate fudge one which wasn't as good. We brought back strawberry pop tarts and hot fudge sundae ones too, yummy!

Candy corn, I had heard about this as a Halloween treat and couldn't pass up an opportunity to try it, yum :)

Finally, some cheesecake from Lindy's. it's world famous however personally I found it too soft, it wasn't like mousse which I hate but it was softer than I would've preferred. They did a lunch time offer there though where you get a meal with chips then with a piece of cheesecake for dessert.

The food in America was pretty great, there was other stuff too but no more photos :)

USA!

I got back from the USA today, I had such a great time. I went to NYC and Washing D.C, here are some pictures that I took while I was there:

My favourite band is the Beatles, strawberry fields was a must do for me.

This photo is the crowd I had to get through for the march, for the 50th anniversary of the MLK march on Washington. 

This is just a selection, I'm going to do another post on what I bought in the USA and perhaps the restaurants I liked and the food that I liked. Thanks for seeing my photos, if you haven't been to the USA you should definitely go, it was my first time and it was amazing really.

America: home of the free

So today I set off to the USA for 10 days (not including flying), it's my first time there so I'm so excited. I'm going to New York and stopping over in Washington D.C, my mum has relatives there who I am looking forward to meeting.

Similar OOTD as last time I went out with friends but with a black t-shirt this time, I'm going to wear this with white peep toe shoes even though I hate my toes being on show.

My hand luggage, though I usually use this as a handbag type thing. £9 from primark so it's plastic, but it's lasted me a year which is great. 

I won't be able to post much while I'm there but I'll do a big post when I come back, probably a haul type thing.

Bye for now :)
