Mini Haul: Warm & Stylish

As I was back in Norwich this weekend I decided to visit Primark.
It’s not great compared to the London stores but it’s usually a lot calmer.
Well I was wrong in thinking I’d have a nice relaxing browse this time round.
My haul is actually pretty small as I just couldn’t bare the crowds for long enough.
Still, I managed to pick up some cute and cuddly items to add to my A/W wardrobe.
Yes, I did buy another fluffy cardigan, although this one is longer than my other.
I also wanted one in this green as I adore the colour and how it looks with my hair.
I was considering the cheetah (leopard?) tights for quite a while but just went for them.
At least the crowds made me more impulsive, as I’m usually a dreadfully annoying shopper.
The rose tights were right next door to the others and just looked so cute and warm.
All 3 of these for under £20 isn’t bad either, is it? Good ol’ Primark.

Beauty Wishlist: Holiday Glam

Beauty Wishlist

One brilliant thing about Christmas coming to the shops are the ‘holiday specials’.
Beauty products aren’t left out either, with gift sets and new products galore.
I know some people dislike the hundreds of travel size make-up and skincare sets.
I love them though as it means I can try out new items at a usually bargain price.
Of course I also love being able to indulge in full size products too, especially palettes.
I made a very glamorous wish list of some of the items I hope to pick up this Christmas.
I suppose if I’m lucky enough I may even get some in my stocking – if I’m a good girl that is.
What do I really really want?
The other products in my list are just bonuses compared to the two above.
I need a new pair of GHDs and the jewel collection is gorgeous (and useful)!
Earl Grey & Cucumber are two amazing scents and these are lovely together.
I also love Jo Malone fragrances and I actually wear them most days.
Any of the products in my list would be lovely to add to my ever growing beauty collection.
I longingly browsed the Selfridges beauty department to find these for myself.

A Special Tatty Devine x Rob Ryan Collaboration Gift

Last week the fiancé treated me to something quite special.

He bought me the ‘Forever Love Forever’ ring from the Tatty Devine x Rob Ryan collaboration.
Ever since the collab was announced I knew I had to get something from it, being the TD fan that I am.
I only wear silver rings so I knew that I would definitely have to have one, and this one is perfectly me.
It’s a really beautiful, delicate piece that has had so much work and love gone into making it.
I really do feel that I now own something very very special.
Haven’t heard about the Tatty Devine x Rob Ryan collaboration?
Then where have you been?! Don’t worry though, I’m gonna fill you in.
The intricacy of Rob Ryan’s beautiful work has been translated into jewellery by Tatty Devine.
The collaboration is a fine jewellery range, so that means sterling silver, rose-gold plated & gold plated pieces.
That’s 18 carat rose-gold and gold plated onto sterling silver by the way! Not too shabby, ey?
Surprisingly the two contrasting styles of TD & RR work really well together, as do the pieces.
Each piece also comes with a free Rob Ryan print signed by Rob, Rosie & Harriet – amazing, right?
The collection is currently available on the Selfridges website, and in-store.
You can find it on the 3rd floor, opposite Acne & Phillip Lim – you may even see me there too!

My New Custom iPhone Case by Roxie Sweetheart



After lusting after Roxie’s iPhone cases for a while, I finally took the plunge.
I asked her if she would make a custom case just for me (I know, I’m awkward).
Luckily for me she takes orders for bespoke cases, so all I really had to do was wait!
It was done pretty quickly, even though she had to wait for a few supplies to arrive first. 
Roxie was kind enough to send me mock ups of what it would look like with different designs etc.
I thought that was really sweet and also very helpful in order to  achieve the perfect case for me.
I fell for this one though as soon as I saw it – I just love the kitty, stars, flowers and little sassy lady.
It’s kinda nice to know I have a case that no one else has. Can you say special snowflake syndrome anyone?
Check out what’s new on Roxie Sweetheart or grab a phone case here.

Wish List: John Lewis Winter Luxe Edit

John Lewis Wishlist
John Lewis carries pretty much all of my favourite brands.
Mulberry, check. Avène, check. Whistles, check. Kurt Geiger, check.
The list goes on and on, but I won’t bore you with that right now…promise.
Instead I’m sharing some of my favourite pieces with you, in a special Winter wishlist.
That way all you have to do is look at pretty things and click on a link, if you want them that is.
John Lewish recently released ‘The Winter Luxe Edit’.
What’s that? Well it’s basically their own wish fashion list.
They’ve chosen some of their best brands, designers and pieces on offer for Winter.
It’s all very cosy, glamorous, and also a little bit sexy – I’m looking at you Alice Temperley.
I choose the Somerset by Alice Temperley Oversized Cashmere Jumper as the focus of my wishlist.
I really enjoy building outfits around one key item, and thereby creating something amazing.
Of course I couldn’t resist adding a few pieces of Mulberry to the list, you have to, don’t you?
My new dream bag is the Mulberry Suffolk. I’d like to say a girl can dream, but, well, you know.
Matching my accessories and boots to the bag might seem a little over the top, but I love a focus point.
All in all I think this is a pretty amazing wish list for Winter – if only I could wait for Christmas!
Why not browse the John Lewis website and create your own wishlist?
You can view the prices and where to buy all of these items here.

Photo Diary: Access All ASOS, junk food, Muji & more

As you can see I’ve keeping myself busy with pretty things…and yummy things.
I finally succumbed to Muji storage and bought some for my Tatty Devine collection.
I have to say I love it and I kind of want to cover my entire apartment in it and be super organised.
I was invited to apply for Access All ASOS recently and was accepted – hooray, and thank you ASOS!
It’s a pretty cool concept and I can’t wait to share more with you on here and on Twitter, Instagram etc.
I’ve been uploading my outfit looks more often too, including my personalised t-shirt from tshirtprinting.
I treated myself to a new accessory – some classy gold (amazing sound quality) headphones.
Not only have I been decorating my body (…with clothes) but I’ve been decorating my bed too!!
I couldn’t resist it when I saw that Primark had their pug duvet set back in stock, it’s too adorable.
Apart from that I’ve just been stuffing my face with giant pizzas and Halloween Krispy Kreme.
