Hello Everyone! I thought I'd show you a few of the purchases I made whilst in Amsterdam last week! 

Checked Cardigan - €29.99 from Bershka

I instantly fell in love with this as soon as I saw it! I wanted to buy an item of clothing from a brand which I cannot buy in Scotland so this was perfect! It will keep me nice and cosy at my desk!

Amber Romance and Mango Temptation Body Spray's - €14 each from Victoria's Secret

Love Spell Eau de Toilette - €14 from Victoria's Secret

Victoria's Secret is another brand I can't get my hand's on in Scotland! I've heard lots of good things about their beauty products so I took the plunge and grabbed these in duty free! They had a 3 for €30 deal on so these were a bargain! I also grabbed 2 pairs of undies whilst there!

Cat clothes hooks- €2 each from Flying Tiger (Dutch version of Tiger)

I've been looking for some hooks for my bathroom door so I can hang up my towels on the back of the door! When I spotted these I just had to have them! They are also the perfect colour for my bathroom! They came in lime green and red too! You might be able to pick these up in Tiger stores in the UK too!

So, along with a lot of cheese, these are my little presents to myself from Amsterdam! 

I have to say, the shopping in Amsterdam is pretty good! If I didn't only have hand luggage, I'm sure I would have come back with a lot more!

A little slice of December

This post is a little later than usual, but here is my roundup of December!

1- The start of the month saw lots of Uni deadlines! This meant I spent the majority of my time in the library! I was so happy when the Christmas Break came around. Unfortunately it is now over, and it's time to get back to it for my last semester ever! 

2- After all my deadlines, I went out to celebrate with a group of my close uni friends! It was a great night! 

3- Before I knew it, it was Christmas day! I was so lucky to receive lots of lovely gifts! You can find my post on what I got for Christmas HERE

4- Of course, the Christmas break meant lots of lazy days spent snuggled up with Smudge! Here he is hogging the covers! 

So that was December. I would say it is my favourite month, once the uni deadlines are out the way! It was such a quick month and before I knew it, we were into 2015! 

What did you get up to in December?

Blogger Secret Santa #1

Hello Everyone! During December, I took part in two blogger secret santa's. I really enjoyed shopping for someone I didn't know, and using their blog to help me pick gifts! The first secret santa I took part in was run by Becky at milkbubbletea. My gift were sent to me by the lovely Adrienne at TheSundayGirl. I love my gifts I was sent! 

The first parcel I unwrapped were these awesome cat gloves from ASOS. They have those little things on the fingers so you can still use your touchscreen phone without having to take your gloves off! Perfect for me, as I'm always playing on my phone in the morning whilst I'm on a freezing cold bus to work!

The second parcel I unwrapped was this lovely cat purse from New Look! I have been looking for a new purse as mine is getting rather old and this is just adorable! Also it has plenty of card slots which is a must for me! 

Also included in my package was lots of yummy chocolatey treats in the form of roses and milka! I will have to get them scoffed before I go back on my diet in January! 

Thank you so much to Adrienne for my lovely gifts!

Homemade Christmas Baubles!

Hey Everyone! 

I had a couple of black glittery baubles lying at the bottom of my christmas decorations box, which I had no use for! So I decided to create something with them to jazz them up a bit! 

So here is what I made! Black glittery cat face baubles! 

I used a liquid tippex pen to make these and just drew onto the glitter! 

You could also do this with coloured baubles and a permanent marker. 

I think these are rather cute and they are now gracing my christmas tree! And they are the perfect way to make use of any baubles which don't quite fit with your tree's theme!

I'd love to see any decorations you have made! Leave me links below!

TheSundayPost

Hello Everyone! As usual, this week consisted of work mostly! However, uni classes are now finished for christmas so I had a little more time to myself this week! I still have 2 assignments to go before christmas so I'll need to get onto those this week! 

Here is what I've been up to this week! 

The Christmas lights in Edinburgh were switched on this week. This is my favourite place to be at Christmas. It's just so beautiful. I can't wait for a shot on those flying chairs! 

On Monday, I was suffering from pretty bad anxiety. After work my other half took me to the winter wonderland for a little mulled cider! It made me feel a little better I have to say! 

On Tuesday, my poor little fur baby had an appointment at the vet. Last weekend I found a little lump down by his tail. This combined with hair loss on his tummy made me very worried. Thankfully the vet believes the lump is a little cyst and the hair loss is being caused by anxiety. I'm trying out a feliway diffuser in his room so we'll see if that helps with his stress! Poor wee boy! I'll be keeping a very close eye on him!

This was Smudge on Saturday. He got to sleep on my lap all evening which he loves to do! 

Today, my other half was playing squash with his brother. I gave him a lift then headed down to the beach near the sports centre for a spot of fresh air! It was a lovely crisp winter morning! Afterwards we headed over to my brother in law's house where his wife was giving me a maths lesson! I'm currently applying for graduate jobs and I really struggle with maths! Hopefully her help will help me secure a job!

Today is St Andrew's day so we had haggis for dinner followed by our first mince pie of the year! I'm planning on putting my Christmas tree up tomorrow (if I have time). 

So, that's about it for this week! Hope the week ahead is great for you all!

TheSundayPost #3

Hello Everyone! Hope you've had a lovely week! Things have been pretty quiet with me this week again, with work and uni taking over once again! I did get up to a few things though!
On Tuesday, my partner and I went to Glasgow for a small shopping trip!

It was our first day off together in about 4 weeks so it was lovely to spend some time together! You can find my haul post from that day here.

So, apart from Tuesday this week has been pretty boring. I watched lion king for the 10 millionth time (it's my favourite film). The picture in the middle made me laugh for well over an hour on monday morning. Saddo I know! 

I took my granny to get her hair cut on wednesday and we saw the infamous Edinburgh tram on the move in the city centre for the first time! 

The weekend revolved around early starts at work, of course! 

And the final picture is me and my boy, smudge! I'm going to do a little post about him soon. He's very special to me! This is his new favourite place to sleep, around my neck! 

So that is all that I've been up to this week, really! 

I'll leave you all with this funny picture I saw on twitter! 

Hehehehe! This made me giggle! Have a lovely Monday everyone! And don't forget my giveaway ends tomorrow at midnight! You can enter HERE if you haven't already done so!

Primark Haul September Part 2!

I  wasn't supposed to be shopping today but it was raining and I needed an umbrella so I just "nipped into Primark." Needless to say I was in there for over an hour...

So here is some of the bargains I found today! 

 

Both of these cute dresses were in the sale! The denim one was reduced from £14 to £5 and the spotty one reduced from £5 to £2! I've been looking for a denim dress for ages so I was delighted to find this! 

 

These 2 tops were both reduced to £1! As i have to wear black to work, I will get plenty wear out of them, and I can wear a chunky cardigan over them in winter! 

 

I'm forever buying new leggings, you can never have too many pairs! And these will be perfect for winter at the bargain price of £6. (p.s they are much thicker and less see-through than your standard primark leggings!) 

Just look how nice and fluffy the lining on these is!

 

 

And finally, I couldn't resist these cute cat slipper socks! I've got a really bad habit of buying cat socks just now! But these were only £3 and they look almost exactly like my cat so they had to be bought! Plus they will keep my feet cosy in the winter and as they are slipper socks they will stop me slipping on the wooden floors in my house! 

So that's all I bought today! So much for just getting an umbrella! (which I did get by the way! Leopard print dome umbrella for £4!) I'd love to hear what bargains you've found lately! Drop me a comment in the comments box! :)

 

Forever 21 Haul

Today I went through to the lovely city of Glasgow. I went with intentions of getting a MacBook but for many reasons I've yet to purchase one. I did however make a stop in forever 21. We don't have a forever 21 in Edinburgh so it's a big deal for me to get to go there! Obviously as a big fan of New York, I love the shop!
When approaching the store I immediately noticed the sign in the window saying "extra 50% off sale items" which excited me greatly!
Anyway here is some photos of the cute items I picked up!





Dress £12
Leggings £8.75





I am in love with these leggings! Cat print seems to be very popular just now!





Stripe top £3.50
Grey tunic £4.99

If you are lucky enough to live near a forever21, get yourself down there. Their sale is well worth a look!
