FASHION: BRITISH SUMMER WISHLIST


Today's post is a British summer wishlist, we've been having some rubbish weather the past few days so I thought i'd pop a few warmer pieces on my wishlist and share them with you. As you may or may not know i'm pregnant so some of these bits are maternity wear however some bits are not and just normal sizing.

I'm loving this blush pink colour right now and I love this pink skater maternity dress from Topshop. It's just a pretty colour and would be very easy to wear, you could even wear it with tights and a cardigan in the Autumn months.
I've included this Tiba and Marl changing bag/ weekend bag as I really like it and have been looking for a nice changing bag, I like that it's black and would go well with everything. It's a really good size so would easily fit all my bits and pieces for baby inside and would be a great hospital bag. 
Next is this really cute top from New Look, this isn't a maternity style but it would go over my bump and this top is a steal! It's only £7.99 so if you like it go and order it because it won't be around for long. 
I need some new maternity jeans so i've picked out these ones from Topshop as I don't have any blue maternity jeans and I like the ripped knee and distressed look of these and they are in the sale. 
How cute are these little sandals from New Look, the look so easy to wear, maybe not weather appropriate for all the rain we've had but so cute for those warmer days. 
Another blush pink item I know!! This cardigan from Asos is so cute though, I love the colour and it looks so snug and comfy perfect for those colder days, it would be easy to throw on over some jeans and a cute t-shirt. 
Finally, it's coming up to my birthday and I usually ask for a new watch, I haven't been wearing my watches much recently but this Olivia Burton one is so cute, I love the little bee's and the grey strap is very versatile and easy to wear. 

So that's my wishlist for this month, I will be putting together another wishlist next month for my birthday month! Let me know what you think of these bits and send over links to your wishlists. 


WHAT I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS


Hello 2017

I haven't blogged for a little while as I took a break from blogging over the holidays as I was working and spending time with the family. I'm back now and have lots of ideas for 2017.
I thought i'd show you guys what I got for Christmas, I don't want this to appear braggy I just like these types of posts and videos and thought you may want to see what I got.

First up can we talk about these make up brushes, They are by Zoeva and they came in this cute pouch and they are this gorgeous blush pink colour with rose gold hardwear. I love them so so much, these were a gift from my sister. 

 I actually bought the Olivia Burton watch in the sales from John Lewis, It was only £40 which is a bargain and I used my Christmas money to get this. 

Next I got alot of perfume for Christmas, I had asked for perfume as I have run out of all my faves. My mom and dad got me Victor and Rolf Bon Bon, I love it so much! Clint bought me my favourite Ysl Black Opium and Clint's parents got me two bottles of Ari by Arianna Grande and also a John Paul Gaultier gift set ( which I forgot to photograph)

How cute is this little to do list pad, I always make lists and this is just so perfect!

I did really well for Candles and Reed Diffusers. 
I got two Neom candles from Clint, Tranquility is my fave and i'm excited to try the happiness scent.
I also got Gingerbread Village diffuser from Clint which is from the Zoella Lifestyle range and my mom picked me up this Black Rose and Vanilla scent from Primark. I also got a Salted Caramel candle from Clints Brother which smells so good!

This little dish with gold hearts and a gold A is gorgeous and also from Clints brother. I've popped this on my dressing table for my rings. 

I got lots of Liz Earle goodies too, Clint got me two of the Christmas cleanse and polish gift sets, he got me the orange scented one which i'm so excited to try! 
My mom also got me some goodies she got me the Pink pepper and mint cleanse and polish, a toner, the eye lotion and a hand wash. 

I picked up this Oskia Cleansing gel in the Space NK sale, I also got a Laura Mercier Mascara and liner set which were both half price. 

I love my new Zoella lifestyle pad which contains lots of note paper and sticky notes, Clint got me this!

Finally Clint picked me up some Lush goodies, he knew I would get some in the Sale so he didn't go crazy but he knows I love my bathbombs!!


I am so happy and grateful for all the lovely presents we got for Christmas.
What did you get for Christmas? 






















BEAUTY AND FASHION : WISHLIST

I haven't done a wishlist for a while so I thought i'd pop one together, I seem to be wanting to shop alot at the moment. I've been to Primark a few times and i've just placed a Space NK order so hopefully I can resist buying anything else till payday! I'm doing that thing where you just don't look at your bank balance and hope for the best!

I keep looking at handbags, I nearly bought this grey/ mink colour bag from H&M however I don't tend to use big bags so I put it down and then a girl came into work with this gorgeous J By Jasper Conran bag and I was like OOOOO but when I went into the Debenhams in Birmingham they didn't have it so again I managed to be good and not buy anything.

I bought a few bits in Kiko last month, you can see my haul here but I really want to pick up the Gwen Stefani palette by Urban Decay but I have so so many eye shadow palettes and can't seem to commit to buying it I did think Clint may have bought it me for Valentines but we didn't buy each other presents this year.

I keep looking at gym clothes too, I really want to get back to the gym but I can't really afford my membership right now so i'm going try and stick to my healthy eating and workout dvd. The sportswear in New Look is gorgeous. I love these geometric leggings and this yoga top.

These boots are lovely, it's still too cold outside to wear flats just yet so i'm still living in my boots. These Clarks boots from Brantano would be perfect and keep me going. I could put them away till next year because Clarks are such good quality and they are classic black suede boots. They are also half price right now!

Finally this Abbott Lyon watch, they are all so pretty. I really love the grey strap on this one and I love the silver face. I have a few watches but this one is just so classy and clean and would just go with any outfit.

REVIEW: OLIVIA BURTON WONDERLAND WATCH MINT AND SILVER


Olivia Burton Wonderland Watch - £65 

Clint bought me this gorgeous Olivia Burton watch for Christmas! It's been on my wish list since it was released. I had two gold face watches but I tend to wear more silver jewellery so I really wanted a silver one. I have another wonderland style  and also this one with a floral face
I've recently fell in love with mint so this one is actually perfect,  I know Clint went to alot of trouble to get this watch as it's pretty much sold out, The strap is gorgeous, such a perfect fit. The face is such a classic style, its just perfect for everyday. I love the Olivia Burton watches they are so unique and special. I love every single Olivia Burton watch. They are really affordable aswell, they range around £55-£150 depending on the size and style. As I said this is my third Olivia Burton watch and i'm sure it won't be my last. I'm so happy with the quality, they are really sturdy and last really well. 
I would recommend Olivia Burton watches to everyone, I always get compliments on my watches from my friends and people at work. Olivia Burton is an up and coming brand, they are stocked in stores such as Topshop, Goldsmiths Boutique, Selfridges and John Lewis, i'm sure they are going to be huge!   

NOVEMBER WISH LIST

Olivia Burton Watch // Nars Virtual Domination Cheek Palette // F&F Roll Neck Jumper//
Topshop Check skirt with lace // Chunky Boots from Pretty Little Thing // Anastasia DipBrow 

With Christmas just around the corner i've been doing a spot of window shopping, i'm loving these roll neck jumpers right now. These ones from F&F clothing at tesco are a bargain at £8 each and come in a few different colours. I love this skirt that Llymlrs recently mentioned on her blog. I'm after a pair of chunky boots, these ones from pretty little thing are a little too high, I want something similar but not as high. The Olivia Burton watch is at the top of my wish list, I have 2 already but they have now released silver face watches!! All of my jewellery is pretty much silver apart from my watches so it would be great to have a silver one. The Anastasia dip brow is a product i've wanted to try for a while, i'm tempted to wait until I go to America to buy it. I'm loving the Nars Holiday Collection especially this gorgeous blush palette which is such a great value for money 

FLOWER SHOW WHITE

OLIVIA BURTON WATCH - £65* - GOLDSMITHS BOUTIQUE // OLIVIA BURTON 





I recently got myself another Olivia Burton watch, I love my pink one its plain and classy. I wear it everyday for work and just in general. Its a really lovely watch, its comfy and very versatile. I kept browsing the website and Olivia Burton instagram because her watches are beautiful and I knew I had to get myself another. This gorgeous floral face is perfect, I really like the animal motif ones aswell. I hadn't actually seen this one on the website but as soon as I spotted it in the glass case I knew it was the one! The gold face makes it look so expensive and I love the gorgeous flowers. I like the white strap and I think it would go with everything. I'm so happy to have another Olivia Burton watch in my collection, i've already been oooing at another one on their instagram but I think i'm happy with just two for now but I can't wait for new designs!




*I was gifted some love to shop vouchers and used these to buy my watch. I have not been asked to review my purchase and all views and opinions are my own!

REVIEW: OLIVIA BURTON WONDERLAND DUSTY PINK AND GOLD WATCH


OLIVIA BURTON WATCH - £65* 




I recently got some shopping vouchers and decided I wanted to buy myself something special and worthwhile rather than wasting them on clothes or make up. I thought a new watch would be a good investment and i'd had my eye on an Olivia Burton watch for a while so I headed to the Goldsmiths Boutique in Birmingham Bullring where they had quite a good selection of different Olivia Burton watches. I really love the ones with pretty floral faces and the butterfly ones however I knew I wanted to go for a more classic style that I could wear everyday! I was stuck between this version and the black version but I went for the dusty pink as I think it looks really lovely on and it's still a neutral. I really liked the black version but after some help from the lovely sales assistant we all decided the pink was more me :)

This version retails at £65 which I think for a designer watch is a bargain, Olivia Burton is still a new fresh brand, they have some amazing vintage style watches in their collection and their watches are available at Selfridges, Asos and as I said before Goldsmiths Boutique! They are going to be BIG!.





*I was gifted some shopping vouchers and used these to buy my watch I wasn't sent the vouchers by Olivia Burton and have not been asked to review my watch. My opinions are my own and I have expressed this above.
