My week in photos! | (11.01.15 - 18.01.15)

I'm sure I'm not the only one suffering with the January blues and over the last week or two I've lost all motivation to do absolutely anything and all I've wanted to do is get in bed with a box of chocolates and netflix! So to get me motivated to blog more often I thought I'd start off with a week in photos!

01: Yes I'm aware that Christmas is well and truly over but I still have some of Lush's lovely Christmas bath bombs left and thought I'd take a soak with this Golden Wonder and look how amazing it is! I never expected it to turn blue of all colours but it also had cute little stars inside which you might be able to see on one of the pictures!
02: Holy moly look at this Spaghetti Bolognaise that Ben made me! He always puts lots in so there's lots of different flavours and it was amazing!
03: Wahhh I had to get my car repaired which cost me an arm and a leg and had to catch a bus! I'm not a public transport snob, it doesn't really bother me but its depressing having to get it when you have a car waiting for you.
04: I've really been  obsessed with smoothies lately - my favourite is mango and passion fruits... but I thought I'd try this one for a change and if your thinking of trying it I'm warning you it's the worse smoothie I've ever tasted...
05: Hahaha she might kill me for putting this on here but I find it hilarious! My sister Sarah stealing my iPad and taking selfies with our cat - he doesn't look impressed.
06: Another kitty selfie but my cat literally has an obsession with feet and I thought he looked proper cute in this pic!
07: I have been loving Love Spell spray by Victoria's Secret this week and it used to be my worse one! They all look so pretty aswell!

I hope you all have had a good week! Lets beat these January blues together!

Wishlist Wednesday! | River Island

Whilst browsing through the on-line sales I came across the new season collection in River Island and because we're stuck in our warm cosy jumpers while its raining outside I thought that I'd have a nosey at what we could expect next season and well, I fell in love...



Even though I'm a winter gal, I fell in love with all the pretty pastel colours and this light grey/baby blue that I keep seeing is so lovely. So after stalking the collection for quite some time I realised that my recently viewed items came to this. Without realising I've put together a very pretty and classy little outfit that would look lovely this spring!

01: Rose gold watch/ £35 - I'm still not one for watches but I do think this one is elegant yet vintage so I thought it went quite nicely with the outfit.
02: White bucket bag/ £40 - I get very scared with white bags because if your not careful they can get dirty very easily. However it's rare that I find nice bags in River Island that don't have the label on (I'm not a big fan of the metal label) and it has gold hardware which I'm loving at the moment so I love it! I would just have to be careful around the fake tan...
03: Navy striped shirt/ £28 - I don't know what it is that draws me to this shirt but I like it very much. It reminds me of the sailor theme but love that it's stripes are vertical which is very flattering and just looks like it will hang really nicely on. 
04: Mid wash jeggings/ £42 - I love this colour Jean but the colour also scares me because it can look very unflattering on my legs. However I'm going to try and be brave this year and wear a jean of this shade as I do love the look of them, just not on myself...
05: White round sunglasses/ £13 - Out of all the sunglasses these are the ones that popped out to me. I thought they were a baby blue colour but their description says they are white which is a little confusing, but anyway if they are what they look like in the picture then they look so cute and would be lovely for the summer!
06: Grey peep toe platform/ £55 - If I was brave enough to wear heels in the daytime then these would go with many things in the spring and summer due to the lovely colour. If you would want to risk taking the suade down town then these would also make a good pair of night heels as the platform will make them nice and comfy! 

I hope this has beaten a bit of the January blues by getting you a bit more excited for spring! Which piece is your favourite?

Outfit of the Night! | New Years Eve

I wasn't planning on buying anything new for New Years Eve but when I went shopping the day before I saw a few bargins so put them together! Like most people *I'm hoping* I've eaten so much over Christmas that I didn't want a dress that was going to show just how much I've eaten so was going totally against bodycon until I saw this little beauty in H&M which fitted really nicely and didn't show any lumps and bumps. woohoo


Dress - H&M, £7
Necklace - H&M, £3
Bag - Whistles, £80
Shoes - Bank, £20
Rings - H&M, £2
Coat - Topshop, £85

As you might have been able to tell I wanted a black and gold theme and personally think this outfit went together really nice. 

I thought I'd show the rings in their own photo because of the lettering and even though you can't see the first letter it spells out love. I tried to put them all on one hand but a few of the rings were too big so put them on separate hands like this. 

Even though this outfit was for New Year I thought it might give you a little inspiration if you have somewhere nice to go or even for a night out in town!

My Week in Photos! | 28.12.14 - 04.01.15

Welcome to my first post of the year!
And what a better way to kick off with a week in photos!


01: My dressing table/ workspace became very cluttered so I decided to give my entire room a good clean out! Whilst writing one of my other posts this is what my desk looked like and I thought it was very cute, and because of the clear out I'm thinking about doing a make up collection or storage post!
02: Me and my boyfriend Ben are off to Center Parks woooo! I'm not saying which one but we booked it months and months ago in the summer so to be finally only one month away feels so good!
03: Oooooo a sefie on New Years Eve - an outfit of the night will be up soon!
04: Me and Ben look like we had one too many...
05: YUMMMYYYY We went to Bella Italia because I fancied pasta and it was lovely! Not as lovely as Zizzi's though, shhhhh
06: Feeling very comfy on the way to see the new Annie at the cinema - I love it!
07: Wooopsie I tried to start to eat healthy on New Years Day and so far I have managed to fail every single day...hahaha

If like me your back to college and/or work tomorrow and need to get back into the routine then good luck, I know I'm gonna need it!
