The Sunday Post#1- Valentine's Weekend

Sunday, 16 February 2014

Hello Everyone! :)
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend! Welcome to my new feature as well, The Sunday Post!
Now it is not very often I get a weekend off, but this weekend I managed it! Here's what I've been up to on my weekend off!

Friday
Of course, Friday was valentine's day! I was a very lucky girl, indeed! My wonderful partner bought me the 'think pink' lush gift set and a black cherry yankee candle!


This is an amazing gift set! Everything smells soooo good and I can't wait to use them all! Expect many a lush related blog post in the next few weeks! My yankee candle will be a great accompaniment at bath time! 

After receiving these lovely gifts, my partner took me out to a gorgeous french restaurant for dinner! The food was amazing! I wasn't brave enough to try the frog's legs or snails though! 
This was my outfit for dinner. My dress is from New Look and my cardigan is from Primark. I put my hair extensions in for the first time in ages just for a bit of added volume (not that I need it!) P.s excuse the mess on the bed! I changed outfits about 20 times! 

Saturday
It was my cousin and my great auntie's birthday's over the weekend. They both live in Darlington so we don't get to see them often but since they were both celebrating big birthdays we headed down for a little party! It was so lovely to see all my family down south for the first time in years! 
This was the only photo I took from the party! We dressed my cousin up in a bubble wrap suit which everyone wanted to pop! My mum has loads of good photos from the evening so I'll just have to steal hers! Anyway, lots of drinks were consumed and good food had, so overall a great evening! 

Sunday
And finally, on to today! 

This was our view from our hotel room window this morning! What a beautiful morning it was! We headed to my aunt's for breakfast (which was amazing!) and then we headed on our way up the road after saying our goodbye's to everyone. 
So that pretty much sums up my weekend! I've really enjoyed being able to chill and spend time with my family, shame it can't happen more often!

Hope you've all had a great weekend too! What have you all been up to?

Another Primark Haul!

Sunday, 9 February 2014

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you've all had an awesome week! 

So yesterday I had loads of time to take back at work so I managed to get a half day! This obviously only meant one thing! Shopping trip with mum! 

So here is my Primark Haul from yesterday! 

Image

 

First of all I got this little outfit for a new addition to our family! I thought this was so cute! I just love shopping for babies haha! 

Image

 

Snood £4

I love this cute little snood. It is a beige colour with birds and butterflies on it. It will look so cute in spring with all my pale pastel colours I've been buying lately. 

Image

 

Cardigan £5 (Sale price)

Every man and his dog has this cardigan but I don't care! I bought the grey one last time I was in Primark and I just love it so I obviously couldn't resist this one when it was half price! 

Image

 

Vest Tops £3 each

Slightly boring purchase but I wear these under everything! I have one in almost every colour! I bought these to replace a few that are now slightly worse for wear! 

Image

 

Top £3

I've seen this on a few people's blogs and I think it's really cute! For £3 you can't really complain! 

Image

 

PJ Top £4, Bottoms £6

The cat theme strikes again! Couldn't say no to these! I had them on last night and they were so comfy! I normally need fleece PJ's cause my bedroom is so cold but these were okay! 

Image

 

Jumper £3 (Sale price)

I've got a real obsession with pink just now and since this was pink and sparkly I had to have it! It is quite a thin jumper so it will do me through spring too which is great! 

Image

Hairbrush £1, Hairbands £1

Again, boring purchases but I needed a new hairbrush and the hairbands were reduced to a £1 so I just picked them up! 

Hope you enjoyed my haul post! Enjoy what's left of the weekend, I'm just about to head off to work so that's my weekend over! :(

Lush Melting Marshmallow Moment Review

Friday, 31 January 2014

My other half was asking me the other day if there were any lush products I liked other than snow fairy so he could get ideas for valentines day. Of course I decided to go have a look at all the limited edition products so I could tell him! 

Whilst browsing I got chatting to the sales guy about my love for snow fairy! This led to me buying the gorgeous bath melt! It smells identical to snow fairy!

Image

 

Of course I couldn't wait for my bath last night to use this! 

It was sooooo nice. The smell was just amazing. My bathroom still smells amazing now! 

And the colour was a nice baby pink, so no scrubbing the bath clean! 

I highly recommend this product to anyone who loves snow fairy as much as me! It is one of the more expensive bath bombs at £3.95 each but it is totally worth it! 

 

January Primark Haul

Thursday, 30 January 2014

Today I decided to go for a little wander to Primark. I wanted to get some new bed sheets and a pair of plain black plimsoles for work. Here is what I picked up! 

Image

 

Image

These were the bed sheets I decided on! Slightly tacky I know but so typical of me to pick leopard print! It was £14 for a kingsize set which I think is great value! Primark's bedding prices have dropped considerably this year! 

Image

 

These grey jeggings were only £7. The only complaint I have about these is that they sit a bit low on my hips but for £7 I don't mind too much! 

Image

 

These cute reindeer PJ's were reduced to only £3! I have a very similar pair which I love so I couldn't resist these! 

Image

Now this was an absolute bargain! I've seen a few bloggers pick this skirt up in their local primark for £5 but for some reason in my local store it was only £1! I've got a family reunion in 2 weeks time and I think this will feature for the meal at night! I still can't quite believe I only paid a pound for this! 

Image

This dress is very bright but there is something nice about it! I don't think I will get much wear out of this until summer but for only £5 I can't complain! 

Image

 

No trip to primark would be complete without buying a few plain cami tops! I've been buying a lot of pink lately and today was no different. The white and fuchsia tops were £2 and the baby pink one was £2.50. I wear a plain cami almost every day so I will definitely get plenty wear out of these! 

Image

 

These cute memory foam slippers were only £3.50! They are dead comfy! 

Image

 

This gorgeous silky cami was reduced to only £2! I think I'm going to wear this with my £1 sequin skirt to my family reunion meal! 

Image

 

I'm in love with this cardigan! Grey is another of my favourite colours just now. This was only £10 and I will definitely be wearing this lots as the weather starts getting warmer! 

Image

 

And last, but not least, from the jewellery section I grabbed these beauties. The bow earrings were only £1 (aren't they gorgeous!), the 5pk diamante studs were also £1 and the little leopard print clasps were reduced to 50p! 

So there we go! That's my latest primark haul! 

I love reading new blogs. Leave me links to your blog in the comment box below! :) 

 

Concrete jungle where dreams are made...

Okay, so for the last 18 months I have been saving like mad for my very special holiday to New York! As some of you may know, I turned 21 in 2013 and I always said I wanted to go for my birthday. Circumstances meant I didn't quite get away in Summer but on 2nd January 2014 I set off on my travels with my lovely man! 

The trip started with disaster of course! I woke up at 5am, all excited, only to find out our flight had been cancelled due to a snow storm in New York! Cue lots of screaming, crying and moaning about how unfair it is! Of course I refused to take no for an answer. I headed to the airport anyway and managed to get booked on a later flight with no hassle at all! (Thanks, British Airways!)

Anyway, the main point of this post is the shopping! OMG the shops are just sooooo good! Of course I was there during the January sales so everything was sooo cheap! 

Image

  1. NYPD Hoodie: I just had to have this. I love a baggy hoodie for lounging about in.
  2. I love NY t-shirt: No trip to NY would be complete without one of these obviously! 
  3. Cat print leggings (Forever 21): These are actually PJ's but they are far too pretty to wear to bed so I use them as leggings! 
  4. PJ Set (Forever 21): I also wear the Meow top as a normal top just with a plain cami under it as its a bit see through! 
  5. Sparkle leggings (American Eagle): I love sparkles and these were so unusual. I've not seen anything like them in the UK!

Image

 

  1. Both Checked Shirts (American Eagle): I couldn't decide between the 2 colours and they were in the sale so I just got both! 
  2. Burgundy cable knit jumper (American Eagle)
  3. Popcorn knit cream jumper (Aeropostale): This will look so cute in spring with skinny jeans! 
  4. Beige Cable Knit Jumper (American Eagle)
  5. Pink Juicy Jumper (Juicy Couture): Only $25 in the sale! I've had this on loads and it looks really good! I love baby pink at the moment! 

Image

 

I really needed some new tops for uni so the above is a selection of what I picked up! The white cat one is my favourite! A bargain at $10 from Forever 21! 

Image

 

More hoodies! They are just so cheap in America and I wear them all the time at uni! 

So there we go, a selection of the items I picked up in New York! 

Hope you enjoyed this post! I certainly enjoyed the shopping for it! 

Outfit: Pink to make the boys wink!

Saturday, 18 January 2014

Okay so firstly, I apologise for my absence from the blogosphere lately! I've had a horrible few months and I just haven't felt like sharing  anything with the world! On November 21st I was told I would be losing my job at the end of the year. I took this pretty hard as I've been in the same job since I was 16! It was my first ever job and I slowly worked my way up. I had a really close relationship with my colleagues so it wasn't very nice! When the closing down process began, everything got manic and I had no time for anything! Anyway, long story cut short, we closed up for the last time on the 23rd december. I still miss the place every day :( 

So rambling over, here is my outfit from yesterday! 

Image

 

Cardigan- New Look £12.99

Jeggings- New Look £9.99

Cami- Hollister (few years old) 

p.s my phone case in this picture holds a small clue to what post might be coming soon! ;) 

 

Image

 

I just love this scarf! I got it from my work in our closing down sale for just £3 (along with about 20 other scarves!) 

So there we go, a little outfit post to ease me back into blogging ha ha!
