The Rock ’n’ Roll Accessories


Whenever I’m running low on cash but am in need of a fashion fix, Primark is my solution. Although I don’t buy many clothes from Primark, their accessories are on trend and an absolute bargain!
I went in earlier this week and told myself that I only had £10 to spend. I filled my basket with about £30 worth of goodies but managed to whittle it down to four items.



1.    Studded Clutch Bag – At £6 this clutch is a steal! It has a detachable wrist strap making it suitable for day or night time use. The detail on the bag is amazing considering the price - different sized studs on the front of the bag, stud detail on the zip and a dangly tassle complete with its very own mini-studs! It’s the perfect size – I can fit in my normal purse and phone with room left over for make-up and other essentials. The only downside is that there is no inside pocket to keep small items safe but for £6 this isn’t a major issue!

2.    Long Cross Chain – I absolutely love this chain as I have quite a few plain tops and dresses that need a long necklace to create some interest. It has a clasp so that you can adjust the length and has a slightly ‘tarnished’ look which gives a grungy feel. I’ve already worn this 2 times in the past few days so for £2 I am very happy!

3.    Silver Cross Earrings – Plain and simple, these earrings are the perfect size – big enough so that they can be seen when wearing your hair down but not so big that they cross the line and look tacky. How could I resist for £1.50!?

4.     Pack Of Four Hair Grips – This was the only one of my purchases that I was slightly disappointed with. The grips looked great in the shop but when I tried them in my hair they were a bit too heavy and so didn’t grip my hair very well. However, they did only cost £1.50 and I found an alternative use – push them into a messy bun for a rocky edge.


Overall I was extremely happy with my four purchases – my thirst for fashion was quenched for another few days and I had only spent a tenner! Thanks Primark :)
