OOTD: Fathers Day

Monday, 16 June 2014

Hey Honeybees!


Yesterday as you know was Fathers day, my Dad lives in Kentucky U.S.A so Mr Honeybee and I spent the day with his Dad, Brother and Sister-in-law at a family barbecue. I thought I'd show you what I wore.





I wore a England t-shirt as it's football season with the world cup being on. This isn't an ordinary England T-shirt though, this is a cat in a hat T-shirt, what could be better! I picked this up in Asda for £6.

Asda - £6

On my lower regions I wore some black with white polka dot lounge trousers also from Asda they were £8.  They are so comfy it's like wearing your Pyjama's outside.

Asda - £8

I wore the lounge trousers with my Aztec print plimsolls from Primark they were £3. 

Primark - £3

Jewellery wise, I wore some blue large stud earrings from Primark. I can't remember how much they were as I bought them a while back.

I also wore a necklace from Asda that I bought a while ago so I can't remember the price of that either. It's silver and sparkly with flowers on. In the picture below I'm also wearing a cameo ring that I got from Sainsbury's.


Necklace - Asda, Ring - Sainsbury's 


As you can see above I'm wearing blue and white polka dot nails. I used Models own Hyper Gel in cornflower gleam and Barry M nail art pen in white. 

 In my hair I wore a hair band/turban in black and grey animal print, again it's from Asda £4. 
Asda - £4

That's everything I wore yesterday! On a slightly different note Mr Honeybee made a cake for his dad for Fathers day it's a football themed cake. I thought I'd share a little picture with you.




Are any of you getting into the football spirit, do you have any football clothing, how do you accessorise? Post a picture in the comments or a link to your blog.

What's in my bag?

Tuesday, 10 June 2014

Hey Honeybees!

 Today I'll be showing you what's in my handbag, I know I enjoy a good nose in other peoples bags so I thought maybe you would to. 

 I'll start by telling you and showing you what handbag I use, it's the Lizzie Animal print in pink from Pauls boutique London and it cost £65.

Pauls Botique - £65

I don't think you can get this on the website any more, I think I've had it for over a year now. There use to be a purse sold separately to match this I think it cost around £26.

The bag has one large compartment that is secured with a zip and a clasp, the photo's below show what I mean by clasp I don't know the actually name for this. It has a loop on the outside for your keys but I wouldn't put mine on it someone may try to steal them. Inside as I said it has a large compartment with a zip pocket at the back and a phone pocket at the front. 








With it having a large compartment I tend to put loads of rubbish in there, as you'll soon see.



In the Picture above I have my pill dispenser as  I have a memory like a sieve and If I didn't have this I would forget to take my tablets. Also in the picture is a rose quartz stone, some tissues, hair elastics, an out of date passport and chewing gum that I don't like. What I do like is the Nivea Lip Butter in raspberry, It smells absolutely delicious. 



In the above picture are the more unusual things in my bag. I have a Yorkshire Terrier called Charlie (he's not in my bag) so I have to carry certain things, poo bags (empty of course) a fold-able dog bowl for water and a Pets At Home receipt. 


Next I have a blue sequined hat from New look, a Paul Smith scarf with skulls on,  a pink comb, a cameo style ring and two purses. The Tuxedo cat purse is for notes and cards, I got that from Play.com and the owl one is for my coins I got that from Ebay.



I have lots of unnecessary receipts in my bag, a flower carrier bag, some tissues, a penny, an asthma inhaler, painkillers and some Carex wipes.


I have some more of that chewing gum I don't like, but also the chewing gum I do like, the Extra white bubble-mint flavour, this one is my favourite.


In this picture I have three pens one of which is broke, some more stones a white one and another rose quartz one, a pink USB stick, a swiss army knife (be prepared, dib, dib, dib, dob,dob,dob) and my Ipod.




Here I have my keys and several key-ring's. a Christmas tree one I have on all year long, a I love cheese one, a couple I got from different zoos, a monkey trolley token, a Las Vegas Betty Boop keyring with my name on it and two key-ring's with photos of me and Mr Honeybee on.

Last but not least, I have my Betty Boop glasses case and iphone with a Headcase  pink phone cover with a Panda on.

 Well, that's everything I had in my bag I hope you enjoyed having a look at what I carry around. Have you done a "What's in my bag?" if you have leave me a link in the comments below, I'd love to have a look.

Primark Accessories Haul

Tuesday, 13 May 2014

Hey Honeybees


Here it is, the Primark accessories haul I promised you in my last post. Handbags and shoes are most girls best friends so I thought I'd get myself some new friends when I popped in to my local store.

I'll begin with the shoes, I picked up a pair of Plimsolls and some Birkenstock style sandals. 




The Birkenstock copy's were the first thing I spotted. I liked the colour, they're in a nude/tan sort of colour and the buckles are also this colour. I think they would go perfect with any summer outfit as they are so neautral. The price of £6 is amazing, especially if you compare it to the price of Birkenstocks.




I then had a look at the plimsolls section as I had bought a pair in pink and grey leopard print previously and wanted to see if they had any others in a different print. I found some in white, coral and grey with an Aztec print. These were an absolute bargain at just £3 and they are so comfortable to wear.


Primark- £3



I also bought a couple of handbags, one for each shoulder, which is normal right?



The first one is a satchel style bag in pale pink stripes. It has a main pocket with a zip up pocket in the back and a front pocket with a see through part on the front.  I guess you could put a photo in there but i think I'll keep mine empty. I also realised when I got home I already have one except its black and white, I guess I really like this bag. Primark charge £9 for this bag which I think is pretty standard for their bags.

Primark- £9




The other bag is a powder blue shoulder bag. It looks like it has been weaved and has a silver twist-lock. Inside there is one pocket with a zip pocket in the bag. It's quite a flat bag so it isn't meant to be used as a Mary Poppin's style bag. This one is priced at £8 which is good considering the detail. I love it but my Other Half Mr Honeybee says it looks like a Margaret Thatcher bag, men!
Primark-£8

Finally, I got some new Jim-jams, one matching set and two pairs of bottoms. 
The matching pair are unicorn themed Pj's, they are pink, white and turquoise with black and silver ribbon to hold the bottoms up.The top is pale pink with a unicorn and clouds on and the writing says "Be yourself and if you cant be yourself then be a unicorn". The bottoms are turquoise with lots of lovely Unicorns on and at the bottom they are elasticated. The top is £4 and the bottoms are £5.



Primark- £4


Primark- £5


You can't have too many Jim jam bottoms so I got two pairs. The first pair are turquoise with hot air balloons on they are in a legging style and they are elasticated at the bottom. They also have pockets, I don't know what for, tissues maybe. 
Then the other pair are white and peach with boats printed on, some the right way up some upside down, perhaps they're sinking. Again they are leggings with an elasticated bottoms. The balloon ones cost £5 and the boat ones are £6 I think. 




Primark-£5 & £6





I know this has been a long blog so if you got to the end well done.

Primark Jewellery Haul

Thursday, 8 May 2014

Hey Honeybees!


Last weekend I took a trip To Primark for a good old nosey. Now I can't buy clothes from Primark as they don't do my size, which is really annoying. They do up to size 18-20 which is better than most shops which only go up to size 16 but I think Primark are missing a trick not catering for us bigger girls. Big girls like cheap clothes to Primark, get it sorted will you.

What I do get from Primark is accessories and last weekend I picked up quite a few. I'm going to show you what jewellery finds I got in this post and then the rest of my purchases like bags, shoes etc will go in another post.

Lets start with earrings, I bought three pairs, one pair of diamanté bow studs. one silver leaf shaped drop earrings and one pair in gold and pink drop earrings.

Primark- £1
Primark- £1.50
Primark- £1.50


I saw the bow earrings on a YouTube channel called Zoella /www.youtube.com/user/zoella280390 she also has a blog www.zoella.co.uk/. When I saw them I knew I had to track them down. They are quite a large stud and are perfect to go with any outfit, day or evening wear. For the price of £1 why not treat yourself.

 The silver drop earrings priced at just £1.50 are really pretty. They are shaped like a leaf with two pearl like stones on each, one larger than the other. The silver pattern is really detailed and they are light weight to wear.

 The last pair I bought are gold with stones in peach, diamanté and pink in a tear-drop shape. These caught my attention because of the colour I think they're perfect for summer.

 Whilst in the jewellery section I also picked up a couple of statement necklaces.
Primark- £4
Primark-£6


The first necklace priced at £4 is a chunky gold metal. It has bright pink stones and some turquoise running through it. It's quite heavy so it might annoy some people plus some might think it's a bit chavvy but I think it's pretty and would go with a lot of summer outfits. 

The other is a more delicate necklace. It's in pastel shades of pink, blue white and a bronze colour. The stones are set in a half flower shape which is really pretty.This was slightly dearer at £6 but still a bargain anyway.

So, there you go that's all the jewellery I got, what do you think? Will you be nipping to Primark to buy any of these goodies?  Let me know if you think this is a good thing to blog about, as you know Primark don't have an on-line shop so posts like this give you a chance to see what they have got before you go into store.

Please post any comments or questions you have below and if you liked this post please share because sharing is caring. Also if you haven't already please follow my blog.

Welcome to Honeybee Chatter

Wednesday, 7 May 2014

Hey Honeybees! 


Welcome to my new blog. I thought I'd tell you in this first post what exactly I'm going to be blogging about. That way you can decide whether or not you want to follow my blog. 

 Firstly. I'm a big girl so I'll be talking about any plus size clothing I buy. So I might do some clothing hauls so you can have a nosey and see if there's anything you might wear and like to buy. I may also talk about the best plus size selling shops or issues I have with being plus sized.

 I'll also be talking about make up I buy, what I think of the product and if I'd buy them again. I'll also be doing the same for skincare and bathing products. I'd like to say I'm no expert so this will just be my opinion and not expert advice. 



As well as all those things I'll be talking about accessories, like, Jewellery, shoes and Handbags.

 Then sometimes I'll talk about my life for example if I go on a day out or to a party etc.  Plus I may talk about serious subjects that affect my life like depression, anxiety or other illnesses that affect my family. 

 Sometimes I'll talk about random stuff, actually I'll probably do that a lot as I do tend to go off on a tangent. 

 So there you go that's going to be my blog in a nutshell. What do you think? If it sounds good to you then please follow my blog. Also I'd like to hear any comments you have, do you have any other ideas you think I should blog about. I'd love your feedback.

 Thanks for reading
