Saturday 7th June and Sunday 8th June

I had a really good weekend this weekend and would like to share with you what I got up to! 

Saturday 7th June. 

Even though I worked on the Saturday, where I work in the town there was a food festival on which was really cool to have a little look around before work and also the town was buzzing with a lovely atmosphere. 

Luckily the sun came out on the day too as it was supposed to be quite stormy and raining. 

There were so many different stands from a creperie, a wood fired oven stall, a goats milk soap stand, flavoured marshmallows and loads of delis and bakeries too. 

I had some very healthy Churros with chocolate for lunch. They were so good!

I also spotted this jewellery stand with some gorgeous rings on. 

In the evening I went out for a few drinks with my friends Vicki and Christina. That was really nice as I haven't been out in ages and Christina was only home for a week or so from uni. 

In a pub I spotted this lamp..

The hallmark of a good drink, how luminous it is! 

Sunday 8th June. 

Today I drove my parents and sister into a bigger town about 30 miles away and I did a fair bit of well overdue shopping!!! 

I picked up this minidress in navy for £5 from Primark, what a bargain!!

On the front it has this crochet style detailing. 

I saw this kimono style jacket that I loved as soon as I saw it from River Island. My sister really liked it too so we decided to go halves on it. This was £40.

I love the pattern on it.

It's also got some jewelled bits on it too.

I think I'd wear this with a black dress and ankle boots or even a black top and jeans and some simple flats. 

I picked this up in Boots as it was only about a pound or so and I love having silky smooth hair so this should hopefully help when straightening my hair. 

I love Original Source as they smell amazing and also I like the fact they are vegan.

I thought I'd try something new with these two as I have used the bee strong hair products. I wanted to get some which would be good for smooth hair as I straighten my hair a lot and it also goes quite frizzy too. 

I got these two as I love the coconut one and the fabric masque I saw in an old sprinkle of glitter video and had been looking for one for ages yet couldn't find any anywhere.

I picked up this razor which had been reduced to about £3-4. 

I also bought this heat defence cream to use before drying hair which should make straightening/curling a lot easier. 

I popped into Accessorize and bought a bracelet and a pair of earrings I've liked for a while now. 

I got this elephant bracelet for £4 and those silver and teal earrings for £6.

I think this is really cool and looks quite simple too with the plain white band.

I love the tribal style to these and would look great with a messy bun and a maxi dress in the summer.

End of January wishlist

HELLO!

Its that funny time of year when the shops are trying to get rid of all the leftover sales stuff. Its still really cold yet the high street are bringing in the S/S collections despite it being a chilly January. You don't know whether you need to start looking for summery clothes and preparing that beach bod or putting on another winter coat and huddling around the fire place.

I wasn't very impressed with the sales this year. I think I was partly to blame as I was looking forward to them since the beginning of December and then they were a bit of an anti climax. I know a few people who managed to grab a few bargains but I must say I was a little disappointed with several high street stores and their sale selection and also the fact they were trying to sell broken items?! This always baffles me? Does anyone buy that? Anyway! Here is a little wishlist of mine. A few things have caught my eye recently and what with mine and my mum's birthday on Monday what better reason to treat myself eh!

Going down starting with the top left:

First Column:
I really like that ASOS Lumberjack shirt. I think it would look really cool with black jeans and ankle boots or even a black midi dress. £45

I have grown very fond of oversized coats and oversized clothing in general at the moment. And I think this coat from River Island would look really chic. £80.

Middle column:
I love LOVE love the look of cut out boots and if you are a reader of my blog you may know this by know! I love this pair from River Island for £38. I like the fact that the heel isn't too high or chunky.

I love a nice collar! And this ASOS shirt has the prettiest little scallop collar. This would love great teamed with a pastel jumper and jeans or even with a dress layered over the top for a preppy feel. £25

This iPhone case is from ASOS and is the coolest (ha) thing I've seen! I've recently bought an iPhone and want to get a fun case for it as there are so many its difficult to choose. Almost everyone has either the melting hard cover case or the silicone gameboy and I want to find something a bit different. £12.

End column:
I love these New Look Loafers they cost £17.99. I have tried on a few pairs in various different shops and they always seem to make me look like a gawky supply teacher so I'm hoping these won't!

For years I have had the same pair of sunglasses and since I was about 13/14 I have stuck with the same type as well, by having a pair of black oversized sunnies on me most of the time. I fancied a bit of a change and I was in Topshop the other day when these caught my eye. These Aviators cost £10 and they look a lot like Ray Bans. They are a bit different to something I'd usually go for and I really like them.

Another potential phone case is this purple lace and pearl one from Amazon. It costs only a mere £1.44 and I think it looks really cute.

Lastly, I love this red tote from Accessorize. I like to have a big handbag to carry every possible thing with me and this one has a lot of handy compartments. I also love the pop of red it'd add to an outfit. I don't tend to wear a lot of red or bright colours for that matter and this one stood out straight away to me.

Thanks for reading, I hope you liked this post! Love, A x

October wishlist!

Hello!

I thought I'd share with you my October wishlist of some of the things I want to get over the next month! 

I really want a pair of cut out boots. I love these from Topshop for £45

Right now, i've really got a thing for statement necklaces and I am rather fond of this Love Hearts and Crosses one for £16.

I really want to get a helix piercing. I've already got my earlobes pierced twice.

I love this Leather and Suede slouch bag from River Island and it costs £35

I've heard a lot of great reviews about this book and would really like to read it. 

I really want to get Drake's new album too. I really like Hold On We're Going Home.

I'll be getting ready for Winter (thinking about it did Autumn even happen in the UK??) and I love hats in the winter, I really like this chunky knit beanie from Accessorize for £17

Bourjois nail art dotting tool is only £2.50 on ASOS right now.

I really want to get a new perfume and I've seen this one advertised a lot. I want to get this but I don't know if the fruity flavours will make it more of a summer scent. Do you have you could recommend?

I love the trend for slippers right now. I have a pair that I wear a lot and would like to get another. These are £15.99 from New Look. 

I think this dress is super cute and it costs £42 from Lavish Alice.

I think this ring is really cool and it costs £4 from Rings and Tings.

Thanks for reading, I hope you liked it! Love, A x
