Rose Gold Travel Tech From Primark

Monday, 6 March 2017

The more I travel, the more I notice myself wishing I had certain things with me; many a night abroad have I spend stressing about whether to charge my phone or my camera because I'd only brought one adapter with me. Things like this kept happening so I made a list of all the techy things I needed to get for future trips and went on the hunt for them. What I didn't expect was that I would be able to find everything I needed in Primark or, that I'd be able to pick them all up for just over £50.

Portable Chargers £6 / £8

These days, I don't even go to work, let alone travel to another country without at least one of these with me. I got back from Portugal late last night and today is the first time I've ever forgotten to bring my wire with me; que mini breakdown when I got to work. I bought my first one in Primark years ago and still use it today although they've upgraded the ones in store a little bit now. With a new sleeker design, and a range of colours to choose from (all of these things come in rose gold uh-mazing!) there is also a choice of power; you can now get a 200mAh which is enough for one charge or a 400mAh which is enough for two!

Rose Gold Headphones £10

I've never had a pair of big headphones but after 20 hours on a plane home from Bali via Hong Kong last year, I promised myself I'd get some for any more long haul flights. As I'm sure you are aware, the headphones that they airlines give you are absolutely terrible and my normal headphones are just little ear buds which aren't so comfortable after a few hours. Also they fell out every time I moved which is pretty annoying when it took 10 minutes just to get comfortable in the first place.

Action Camera £28

I think the next product was the one I was most surprised to see in store; the action camera. I love my GoPro but it's an expensive purchase (plus my one doesn't have a screen which is really annoying). Primark's action camera is the same size, it comes in a waterproof case and it has a screen! Whilst the photos and videos are not as good quality, they were actually better than I was expecting (see here) and would be fine for sharing on Facebook. The camera is super easy to use and comes with 6 different fittings, as well as a 8mb memory card so you dont have to buy one!

Worldwide adapter £10

Again, for that trip, we did all the research, we spent £15 on plug adapters before we left and it turns out they use the same plugs in Hong Kong and Bali as they do in Europe so that was a big waste of money. Anyone else find it impossible to get a proper idea of what plugs sockets look like around the world? Anyway, Primark are selling a changeable USB adapter which solves this problem so we'll never have to buy an adapter again. Rather than a mains to mains socket, this one is mains to USB with two ports meaning I can change my phone and my GoPro at once. If only I had one of these for past press trips.

When New Look asked me to pick out some denim to style obviously, my initial thought was jeans - what else is there?! But I have SO many pair of jeans that I decided to do a little research before I just picked out another pair and found that there actually is more than jeans - there was tops, dresses, jackets and skirts - so much choice! So I went for something different.

I picked this out, not only because I like the skater shape of the dress but because I loved how it was styled on the site. I have never worn anything like that before, I thought it looked reaalllyy cute!

My plan was to wear it with a grey short sleeve crop top underneath and white converse, exactly like the styling on the site but when it all arrived and I put it together, I just didn't like it the same. I wanted to stick with the same casual look and the layering vibe so I went through my crop top shelf until I found something that worked. I pulled out my white crop and switched the converse up for my favourite vans circa 2009 LOL. Yes I did buy myself a new pair recently and I have been wearing them most days actually.

I have never layered in my life so this is a first and I actually really like it! I will definitely be wearing it like this more through the summer but maybe switching it up for something a little thicker until then!

I was recently contacted to see what kind of gig I like to go to and what sort of things I wear for them! They sent me a Ticketmaster gift card and a clothes voucher to get me started and have also offered me on of each for one of my readers so make sure to enter the raffelcopter for a chance to win some for yourself!

Now, I may have grown out of my Emo phase but it's still my music of choice and I still love to go back to my old style every now and again so I am waiting for a band that I love to pop up on the ticket master website, hopefully playing at the roundhouse, that was always my favourite place for a rock gig - pushing your way to the front, dirty, sweaty and very loud and crazy. I think the last time I went it was to a concert like that was to see Sum 41 with Andrew when my hair was green, that must have been a while ago ahah I've just spotted PATD are touring but I'm hoping for something like the blackout (again) or YMAS (again haha) or someone new for me like Enter Shikari or Hawthorne Heights! When I asked Andrew what he though, he said we should go to see Miley Cyrus or Katy Perry which was a surprise haha I would actually love to go see Miley <3

Anyway this is what my style was like what back and that sort of thing that I'd wear. I've started getting a bit back into it recently!

Last week, Trainerstaton offered me a pair of new shoes for the man in my life haha Lucky Andrew. He really is the best boyfriend, He even got me some surprise get well soon flowers delivered to my house amongst all the other wonderful things he does for me so I jumped at the chance to get him a new pair of shoes!

He has a very set look at the moment - Branded t-shirt - Hollister, A&F Or Superdry, Chinos - beige, black, grey or purple and a pair of vans - blue, grey, maroon and new his new brown ones which were very welcome into his wardrobe. I haven't seen this colour anywhere before so they were the pair we chose!

If your a blogger from London, them I'm sure you will have heard about one of the biggeset meet ups this year. It was arranged by Scarlett and she did a great job, a lovely idea for an event informal, getting all the girls together for afternoon cocktail, just behind regent street, at Honover Square's Dirty Martini Bar.

After a whole morning of trying on nearly every outfit in my wardrobe, I went along and met up with Lorna and Jade at Oxford Street Station. What we didn't realise was yestrday was also Pride and the place was completely packed, so we weaved our way in and out on the hundreds of people and made our way to the venue.

We spent the afternoon mingleing with other bloggers and drinking cockails, although I only had one as I had work. Me and Jade got a 2-4-1- deal on a raspberry Belini (I think) which was very nice!

It was all very exciting finally getting to meet the people that you speak to all the time online and everyone who I did meet was a lovely as expected. It was fun to see if you recognised anyone else from other blogs around and hearing the people recognise you is always amazing.

Anyway, there's not much to say except a huge thank you to Scarlett and here are a few photos for you!
