Amsterdam Haul

Tuesday, 13 January 2015

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!

Christmas Wishlist #1

Friday, 28 November 2014

Hey everyone! So I've been browsing the net recently for gift ideas for Christmas and of course I've spotted numerous things I quite fancy for myself! So I've put them all together in a little wishlist post!
1- Meow PJ's- Forever 21 £12.95. I have a pair similar to these which I got in Forever 21 in New York. They are the comfiest PJ's I own so I'd love another pair!
2- Cat Nap PJ's- ASDA £10. Can you tell that cat PJ's are my favourites yet. I have so many already but you can never have too many sets right? 
3- Tartan Leggings- New Look £17.99. Being from Scotland, loving tartan clothing is a given. I don't actually own any tartan leggings so these would be a welcome addition to my wardrobe.
4- Ugg Slippers- Currently £56 in John Lewis. John Lewis are doing a price match at the moment on hundreds of items and these are included! I've had my eye on these for absolute months so hopefully I'll find them under my tree this year! 

1- Hot Toddy Shower Gel- Lush £17.95 for 500g. Of course the smaller bottles are cheaper, but as this is a limited edition showed gel, you need to stock up for the year ahead! 
2- Snow Fairy Shower Gel- Lush £13.95 for 500g. I swear the price has gone up on this this year? I can't remember how much I paid last year for my big bottle but I didn't think it was almost £14? Anyway this is my all time favourite scent so I need to get some to stock up on it! I've currently got none left so this one is a must have! 
3- Morphy Richards Soup Maker- Very.co.uk £49. If you've been reading my blog lately you'll see I've been on a bit of a health kick. However, I'm not a huge fan of vegetables. If they are in a soup though I will eat anything! So this little machine will hopefully make me eat a bit more veg! Also it makes soup in just 21 minutes! Perfect for popping on whilst getting ready for work in the morning! 
4- I heart Cats t-shirt- crazycatladyclothing.com $26.99. I don't even know how I came across this website but I just love this t-shirt! It is just so me! I need to have this. 

So there you have it, my little christmas wishlist! I'm sure there will be many more things I come across in the coming weeks so expect some more posts along these lines from me! 
I'd love to see what's on your wish lists too! Leave me a link in the comments box below!

Tie Rack A/W 2013!

Thursday, 12 September 2013

If you didn't know before, I work for an awesome accessories company called tie rack. This post is all about my pick of the best items in this years autumn/winter collection! (there were far too many pretty things to choose from but I managed to narrow it down to four!)

Serape £34.99

If you don't know what a serape is, then listen up! These amazing items are basically a large shawl but they are honestly so cosy and will keep you warm all winter! The leopard print and fur combination is very on trend for this year! And this one even comes with little arm holes on the side to make this look like an oversized cardigan when wearing it! (another on trend item for this year). I plan to wear this lots and as it gets colder i'll start wearing a long sleeved t-shirt under it to keep me a bit warmer!

Serape £34.99

Because there are so many amazing patterns and colours to choose from in this year's range of serapes, i couldn't just pick one so I also had to get this cute tartan one! Tartan is another print that is going to be massive this winter so I'm really looking forward to wearing this! Keep an eye out for some future posts showing you how to look amazing wearing these!

Pashmina £17.99

I am a big fan of pashminas as they are such a versatile product (I must own one in every colour imaginable!) Tie rack pashminas are a great size for doing so many different things with them! I bought this one as it's a lovely burgundy colour so it will go with all the burgundy items I've been buying lately!

Image

Scarf £19.99

And finally, I just love this scarf! Everything about it is perfect! I've not been able to get a tartan scarf for many years because I'm allergic to wool and I've only ever seen wool ones! But this one is made of acrylic so I know it's not going to irritate my skin. I had this scarf out on a test run to the shops last night and it kept me nice and cosy in the cold breeze! I don't think I will have this scarf off during winter this year! It looks amazing with so many different colours!

That is my top 4 favourite items from Tie Rack's Autumn Winter Collection so far! Look out for more posts about this. I'm sure there are plenty more amazing items waiting to come into stores!

What do you think about these products? How would you wear a serape? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
