November Wish List!

Aloha!

 

It is currently nearly half way through the month which means I have already started thinking about what I am going to buy with my next wage ;) There are so many things I would like, but a few things I am deffinitley considering spending my next wage on are listed below. I have also started buying Christmas presents for people! So expect my very own Christmas Wish List coming soon : )

 

 

I have wanted a pair of Ugg Meenas for ever! They are just the cutest little things ever! They look so cosy yet not as full on as Ugg boots. I have about 3 pairs of Ugg boots and my latest pair are nearly done with the amount I wear them!

 

 

 

Elle at Dreaming in Blush absolutely swears by this Christian Dior Creme de Rose Smoothing plumping lip balm. I watch all her youtube videos and she makes out that its the holy grail of lip products. I must have this!! Also, its meant to smell absolutely gorgeous!! 

 

 

I have just about finished my bottle of foundation so am looking for a new one. I have heard such good things about this Chanel Perfection Lumiere Fluid foundation. And based on my latest Chanel products it must be amazing! 

 

 

As it is starting to get colder, I have been wearing my Hollister parka to work. However, I don't think it goes well with my usual work attire so I would love to get a trench coat/mac. This one from Gant is lovely and looks really sophisticated!

 

 

I am absolutely obsessed with buying stuff for my home. I love neutral colours like creams and have been looking for a new rug for my living room for ages! This one from IKEA is deffinitley the one, so I'm going to start nagging Guy to go halfers with me when we get paid ;)

 

 

Lately to wind down before bed, I have been lighting a candle. I feel like it really helps me relax and de-stress me, however my current Yankee bedside candle I have is nearly gone. I think its called Sparkling Snow from last years Christmas collection. These large candles burn for about 110 hours so they're absolutely a must for the cold winter nights to come! I am deffinitley getting Yankee Candle's Snowflake Cookie on my next shopping trip!

 

This wish list has turned into a 'deffinitley getting when I get paid list', ha ha! What are you guys wanting to get when you next get paid? Let me know in the comments below : )

PS. I will be announcing the winner of my 50 followers giveaway shortly ; )

Busy Bee...

Good morning my loves!

As I said last week, I have been such a little busy bee and have not been able to work on my beloved blog! To assure you that I’m not telling porky pies, below are some pics of the past week and a half…

 

I've been trying to wind down before I go to sleep and a candle does just the trick, along with my Bath and Body Works Pillow spray in lavender and vanilla : )

 

 

I saw this on Facebook and thought it was bloomin hilarious! Its what a cat looks like from underneath a glass coffee table!

 

 

I have been experimenting with a lot of make-up looks recently (tutorials to follow) and been loving using the MUA matte palette.

 

 

I used Chanel in 'misty soft' on my eyes here 8-)

 

 

I bought these beautiful flowers out of Morrisons for a couple of quid! They remind me of the flowers in the garden in the film 'Coraline' (one of my faves)!

 

 

I have been eating and drinking so much crap, but its soooooo good! We got a Chinese last week - I got duck pancakes, mini spring rolls and salt & chilli chips. Guy made Blackberry Fizz cocktails to go along with our dinner : ) If you would like the recipe for Blackberry Fizz, let me know in the comments below...

 

 

I have been spending so much on ebay recently...my bad! I got this Abercrombie & Fitch cardy for £12!

 

 

When Guy go his wages, he made us steak for dinner, yum! We had it with a large mushroom cooked in garlic butter, chips and whiskey sauce. We bought a deep fat fryer so we could have chips the naughty way ;)

 

 

When I downloaded ios7 I had to delete all my apps including Snapchat! Once I remembered to re-download it, I had a lot of fun sending my pals crazy snaps!

 

 

I have been absolutely loving the weather. I'm one of those people who love the rain and colder weather. Don't get me wrong, I'm crazy about Summer, but if I had to be a season (sounds weird) I would deffinitley be Autumn : )

 

 

Although we've been having take-aways constantly, I always try and eat healthy in work. This is a pic of my usual daily salad.

 

 

Love a bit of vino so I do ;)

 

 

SELFIE!

 

 

Oft, now this was AMAZING! We got this Indian tapas mixture from our regular Indian restaurant because we had never tried it and it was honestly the best take-away I have ever had! Absolutely amazing!

 

 

Lilly is being as crazy as ever, she just loves climbing up my legs...especially when I've only got my jammie shorts on! :(

 

 

More work lunch pics : )

 

 

Chanel mascara freebie that I got with my recent Chanel purchases! It is so amazing I am going to have to buy it in full-size!

 

 

The flight down to London for my exam was lovely :)

 

 

But I missed this gorgeous girl though!

 

 

Me & my other half attended an engagement party on Saturday. It was loads of fun and was a nice way to relax a bit before my big exam!

 

 

What have you guys been up to?? Let me know in the comments below.

Ps. I have finally reached 50 followers!!! Now I just need to pic a winner and post their goodies!
