As you guys know I recently visited York and Copenhagen, doing a bit of shopping in each. I pick up a few things that I was excited about,  so I thought I would do a simple haul for you!  Enjoy :)


First up, my York purchases, as you can see it is all books!!  I do love buying books, to read and to make my dresser looks pretty ;)
The Passive Aggressive Colouring Book is one of my favourite things!! I picked this in the Imaginarium whilst walking around The Shambles! I love 'adult' colouring books but this one is slightly different. This has quirky drawings, sayings and things that make life 'not perfect'.
I enjoy colouring this in more as it is just so fun!
I have linked the book on Amazon if you wanna check it out!

I then went into Oliver Bonas, which is one of my favourite homeware shops, however, I came out with two 'self-help' books.
'L'art de la Simplicite' which translates onto 'How to Live More with Less'. I have been eying this book up for a while, I like to hoard a lot of items, so this is slowly helping me reduce my 'clutter'.

I also bought 'How to be Parisian', I have seen this floating about, whether it was on Pinterest or Instagram and I really wanted to get my hands on it. I didn't really know what to expect, but it is just full of quirky 'Love, Style and Bad Habits' information. It's one of those books that is perfect to read on chill days and when you need a laugh. Not to mention it looks gorgeous beside my bed ;)


Next up we have Sephora, we found a shopping center in Copenhagen and to my surprise, we found a Sephora. Now I do love a Sephora shop don't get me wrong, however, Copenhagen prices are high ( as you will see) and I have kinda gone off buying expensive makeup when you can get it so much cheaper elsewhere. (I say in all my wisdom). However, one thing I do love in Sephora is their facemasks. The few times I have been in I have always picked up their masks! I just think they are great! I picked up an Avocado face mask and a Green Tea face mask as well as something I can't wait to try  the Charcoal nose strips!!

In the same shopping center, they had discounted makeup and beauty! This would be fab if you lived there, but I think it just worked out the same, apart from these Essie Nail Polish steals!
One is in the shade 'Coconut Cave' and it's a white with a very slight pink undertone and the other 'Naughty Nautical' which is a gorgeous sparkly turquoise shade. Both worked out to be just under £10!!

I also picked up a cute little Danish keyring, I am saving my keyrings up from the places I have been so it was only fitting to pick up another! I picked the bike as we all had a hard time trying not to get run over by them LOL


AND Lastly, the big one! If you have read my blog before then you may know that I have a slight obsession with Victoria's Secret, I just love everything! Their underwear, bras, clothes, PINK, and sprays, so when I spotted the black and pink writing whilst in Copenhagen, I legit ran!!
I did, however, get far too excited and got the currency converter wrong so let's just say I ended up spending a small fortune on two items! One being this cute mini set of all their perfumes, I honestly love their scents so I thought this would be perfect to take traveling with me! It comes with six so it will be perfect to do me the whole time I am away!
This last item was a complete splurge and it's this gorgeous Passport holder, I got a PINK backpack for my Christmas so I thought it would go so well and match! It also has a place for tickets which will be super handy and the VS logo is beautiful!
They both cost me more money than I had but hey I was on holiday! (Have a justified it yet?).

  

A fashion post, I know.. it has been a while!! For some reason, I just don't buy clothes for myself or if I do, I never know how to feature them on my blog. I do want to start doing OOTD style posts, I just need to get my confidence up! However, I bought a few things in the sale so I thought I would share!

'Blue American Dreamer Denim Jacket' -£20 

I have been looking for an oversized denim jacket for such a long time, I just love every outfit I have seen paired with it! I saw this on Missguided I had to buy it, 1. as it was the cheapest I could find (lol) and 2. as the back says 'American Dreamer' and that best describes me ;) I love the distressed look on the arms and on the front, it gives it that vintage vibe! 

I am in love with it! 

You can't beat a good old Christmas jumper at this time of year, it is super cold and what other excuses can you give to wear a  light up jumper? I am right!! I have bought a new one every year for the past few years so I thought I would show you my collection.
Not to mention on Friday 16th December it is Christmas Jumper day to raise money for Save The Children, I hope I can give you some inspiration for this year!

Fairisle All The Way...... 

You can't go wrong with a bit of Fairisle at Christmas, I just find it so simple, yet so festive. You could get away with wearing this every day and not get judged for being too festive ;) I bought this way back in 2012 in Primark and I have worn it every year!!

At this moment in time,  I am sitting in my room bundled up, with my fairy lights on,  candles burning and  feeling pretty cosy.  What makes it 10x better is that I just got my hands on my Bath & Body Works candles, you guys know how much a love candles so I thought I would share a mini haul. 

I live in the UK so this is the first time I have got my hands on any B&B Works candles, I asked my Auntie Diane who was on holiday in Florida to bring me some back. After seeing Zoe's massive haul I had to get my hands on some!
I got 3 minis for $12 and 2 medium candles for $20!  I obviously couldn't smell them so I wasn't going to get the big ones just in case, also I can't really burn them for a long as I think I may be allergic haha I just can't stop sneezing, nevertheless, I still burn them!

These are the scents I have:

  'Caramel Pumpkin Swirl' 
This is probably the sweetest out the set, I love sweet scents and this is verging on sickly! However, I do love the smell of Caramel and that is what this is, I can't really smell the pumpkin that much as the  caramel takes over! Burning this candle for a short time does the job as it is pretty strong!

'Pumpkin Pecan Waffle'
I loveeeee this candle, Again I can't really smell the pumpkin but you can definitely smell the pecan, it smells like home baking with a hint of spice.   This is my level of sweetness and I am in love! It is not too overpowering however it leaves a nice smells hours after.  This is such a win!!

'Pumpkin Apple' 
This has to be my favourite, it literally smells like spiced apples. It is still quite a sweet scent with a hint of spice.  It is such a fresh Christmassy scent and I think it will be perfect for coming in after a super long day, getting all cosy and snug. I am so happy that I like it as I actually got the medium sized one too!

'Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin'
This is the one I was most excited about, this is 100% a Christmas candle, and just screams Christmas!! I find a lot of Cinnamon candles quite strong and overpowering, however, I feel like this is a lot sweeter, as the name says! This will be a definite win at Christmas time, for sure!!

I am so excited to burn these in the next few months, what are you burning?
Have you tried any B&B Works candles? What are your favourites?
Have a fab Sunday!

YES TO LUSH AND YES TO AUTUMN! Together they just make a perfect pair! When I saw they had finally released their Halloween/Autumn range I had to have a nosey! I was a tiny bit disappointed at my store, however, I ended up getting the best trio. 

The first bath bomb I picked up was Autumn Leaf, it drew me in with its colour! It is so pretty and bright that I knew that I would be bathing in a rainbow bath, and as you can see it didn't disappoint!  I love how the colours represent the changing season and go perfectly with the scent, which is very fresh but earthy. It is not my usual scent I would go for but having used this in the bath it set me up for the Autumn ( not that I needed to be lol)

Next up is Lord of Misrule, I picked this primarily for the fact it has a crown on it aha ;) However, I really liked the smell, I would it is has a little of sweetness in it but mostly it is an earthy, spiced scent.  It is probably my favourite out of the three I picked up!! The colours when you first dropped the bomb in the bath is insane, it is my favourite colour of pink, however, when it was done fizzing it become a dark purple and reminds me of a witches caldron or red wine. This made my skin feel very moisturised and soft, as you can see it is now part of the Christmas range so I might have to repurchase!

Lastly, I got this cute little Monster's Ball, This has to be my favourite so far, I love the amazingly sweet, floral scent that  arose from the bomb. The colours in the bath at first were a cute pink and blue, they then mixed together and created a pretty purple shade. It contains Cocoa butter which made my skin super moisturised afterwards!!

Like I mentioned, my store didn't have the full range, however, it is all on the websites! I was annoyed they didn't have the Pumpkin or Boo as they  would have been too cute!!
They also have Goth Fairy and Sparkly Pumpkin but I don't do well with Lush glitter so I decided not to buy them!!!
They also have their Christmas range out now which I can't wait to have a proper look!

Let me know if you have bought anything from Lush? What are your favourite Lush Products?

I feel like you can never go wrong with a little Lush trip, I actually posted a Haul  this time last year, I might make it an annual thing, gives me an excuse to go in.... actually I don't need an excuse ;)

I got a few bits for my birthday, as well as popping into the Glasgow store a few weeks ago!

For my birthday I was actually given Intergalactic and Twilight in a set which was super exciting! I have had both before so I knew I would love them both.
Intergalactic smells a lot like spearmint  and the colours that are left in the bath are incredible! It leaves your skin feeling very soft and moisturised  due to the Cedarwood Oil. I would 100% buy it again.
The day of my birthday I used Twilight, the scent is very sweet and reminds me of candyfloss. It gives the bath a pretty glittery pink  colour and again makes your skin so soft. It contains Lavender so popping this in the bath is also extremely calming and relaxing. I actually repurchased this bath bomb when I bought the rest as it is one of my favourites.

I then picked up Big Blue,  I actually picked this up as it a very pretty colour. After speaking to the Lush worker, she explained one of the ingredients was Arame Seaweed. Apparently, it is meant to be very good to regulate the metabolism, so it went straight into my basket. It is also is meant to be good for your skin so it is a win-win. The smell is nice and fresh and I can't wait to use it .

ButterBall is the product I am most excited about, I wish I could remember  the girl's name that helped me but again she explained that this is great for dry or irritated skin. I have spots on my arm so hopefully, this will help. It also contains Ylang Ylang which helps with stress and anxiety so it would be interesting to try.

Last bath bomb I bought was Lava Lamp,  the product looks super eye-catching and I can just tell it will give the best colours in the bath. The scent isn't a scent I would reach for in Lush, as I am more of a sweet gal,  however, I love this. The Tangerine Oil gives it the best fresh  citrus scent, it is described as fruit pastilles on their website and I totally agree. It contains Cocoa Butter which is my favourite moisturising ingredient so I am VERY excited to give this a go.
After trying this bath bomb in the bath, it was super moisturising and smelt amazing! However, When I got out the bath my whole skin was patchy purple! I tried to wash it in the shower, just with water but it never worked!! I had to exfoliate my skin for at least 10 minutes until it all came off!
However, Lush were amazing about the whole situation and sent me a free bath bomb for my troubles!

Have you been into Lush lately, what have you been loving?? Let me know if there is any products I need in my life. Has anyone had the same problem!?
 Hope you are having a great day!

Hello guys, how is everyone? Are we over the Easter over indulging or do you have eggs left?? 

Anyway, I am back with another haul. I feel that I do haul a lot but I find them the best to talk about and easy to write! Rather than a beauty haul I thought I would do a home haul. 

I didn't however buy  them at the same time, but over the last few months I have accumulated some cute stuff that I thought I would share. 

If you know me,  you will know I love a good Victoria's Secret shop. Without putting them online, I purchased a lot of underwear as they are the comfiest things ever! 

Surprising I didn't go all out and refrained myself from going overboard. 

I did pick a few items, first one (top left)  is this 'Vitamin Sea' tank top. I actually saw this Anna Saccone-Joly snapchat and fell in love. I absolutely love the colour and think the saying is too cute. 

Next up, (top right) is a simple PINK long sleeved white top. I have been looking, in general,  for a top like this, it has 'PINK' all the way down the back which I think is so cute. It is  perfect for lazy days or a casual outfit.

(Bottom Left) I finally got my hands on VS pjs. I've looking for a set like these for a while, I just love the idea of having VS pjs. There was a lot of summer sets but I wanted a long set. I got my hands on this gorgeous white and pink set. They are quite thin but surprisingly they are still warm. I don't know why but  I feel like someone from Gossip Girl whilst wearing them, but I have fallen in love.

(Bottom Right) Last thing in the picture is a VS gorgeous floral Sarong, the print is just gorgeous and it is really soft, I haven't had any use of it just now but I do love the spring/summer print! 

Last VS items is a PINK Bralet . It is very similar to my Calvin Klein Bralet I received at Christmas, but as I wear that a lot I thought I would buy something similar. It is very comfy to chill in and I adore the colour.

Last fashion items I bought where from Zara. I have never been in a busier shop than the Zara we were in Soho. We waited in the changing room queue for just under hour, yes the changing room queue! It was insane, and we have no idea why we did it. I ended up picking up two pair of leggings, a strip baggy dress, the 'Girl Gang tee' and this 'Are you Gluten Free' cropped tee. I didn't even try this on as I seen it after but as you know I am Gluten free so it was must!

Hope everyone had a great Easter!!!
