Bags & Bags

I got two new bags at the weekend.
The first is a new make up bag, I emptied my lats one and it was so manky I had to get a new one.

Cute little flowery make up bag that my boyfriend pointed out matches my duvet. It cost me about £4 from Tescos..

My make up staples and a few extra... I usually just wear foundation, bronzer, blusher and mascara, but theres a few extra bits and bobs.

My gorgeous boy also bought me a new massive handbag. Its huge and amazing, I'm thinking hand luggage for holiday!

 It cost £8 from Matalan, but I managed to use my trusty student discount for a cheeky 10% off! I adore the print on it, its got nice muted/neutral tones so I can use it with pretty much anything.

In my bag: purse; book; diary; glasses; socks (£1 bowling alley socks); barclays card reader; various medicines; nice biscuts; work ID badge and keys; tissues; body spray; headphones; chiquitos vouchers (am never without these babies)..

Oh and guess whos going to be in the audience for New Looks Style the Nation on Channel 4 next weekend?! ME!! I applied for tickets on a whim and ended up with priority ones! I've never seen a TV show filmed before so I'm pretty excited.  Need to decide what to wear though.. do I buy something new? I will keep you posted...

001. ASOS Saved

I am a huge huge mega ASOS fan, I could spend all the money I earn on ASOS. What I tend to do is use their saved items feature and save things I love untill I can buy them or they come down in price.

I decided that occasionally I will post whats on my saved items list so you can see what I'm after!!

I just think that these would be so cute for summer. With a white t-shirt and little white pumps.

Summer at work, I love the colour and style. I also love the shirt the models wearing but I couldn't find that anywhere!

To go with pretty shirts and shoes. I have an ancient floral Primark Blouse that I can see going quite nicely with this skirt.

This shirt could go with anything.. skinnies, shorts, skirts, could also be worn maybe as a waistcoat type thing. I'm thinking potential festival fashion with this one...

Along with these, not denim so if it rains they won't itch and should dry quickly. I have pleanty of tops that could be worn with these, also I don't think they'd look too bad with wellies!

I've had my eye on this for ages... Its already come down from 30.00. I think it would be a nice chilling out by the pool dress.

I'm not sure what it is about these trousers, I just really want them! I think they'd be pretty comfy for work and could easily be smartened up with a shirt or blazer. I'm one of those who takes my shoes off and sits cross legged at my desk so these would be perfect!

In desperate need of some new denim shorts. I had vintage Levis which I love but are so worn out and a bit shrunk now! Maybe these, but I don't think they will compare to the Levis.

So there you go, thats the current ASOS Saved list.. What are you after on ASOS at the moment?

Holiday :)

I'm back!! Hello followers and commenters :) I'm pleased at how this blogs beggining to go and I'm really planning on keeping it up!!
I had a lovely time on holiday, the weather was a bit hit and miss.. lots of showers and whatever direction you went out of our villa there was a big up hill struggle but it was fine.

My boyfriend was completely amazed by all the fish in the Plaza, as a fish hater this was not all that amusing for me!

 These ducks were just chilling on the roof of one of the villas near ours!

 Spot the deer... there was a family of deer living near the villa, a mummy, daddy and a little tiny baby one! We think this was the daddy. He let us get so close!

At an outing with owls we got to hold the owls and learnt so much about them, this is Lulu shes a type of eagle owl.. I was too scare to hold her.

 Little Ibu, a Scopps owl was having a staring contest with me.

 Horrid Henry the Barn Owl. He makes the most evil hissing noise but he was so pretty and so so light!!

 This is Phoebe, she was a very big owl but I can't remeber what type. She has a really round face!

 Delilah was the cutest little baby owl ever. I wanted to take her home with me!

 A Perigrine Falcon from my Dad and Sam's Falconry. I thought that the head thing was really cruel but it actually relaxes the bird and makes them much calmer.

 'Can of Kestrel...' in the words of Tinie Tempah...

A Harris Hawk.. Dad looking very interested in the background!

We had such a lovely time. Lots of swimming and badminton playing. We also did laser combat which was so much fun. Me and Sam lurked at the back and picked people off, Ben and Bry ran forward and attacked. Great fun! I also did a Salsa class, that was fun!

So the bikini body diet/fitness starts on monday. I realised today that two weeks tomorrow I'm meant to be running the race for life. So I think the next couple of weeks are going to be a crash run run run get fit and be able to run more than 100 metres without feeling sick! I think I'll go to the gym for at least 30 minutes a day except Thursdays (thats when I have Zumba) and just eat healthy. I need to tone up too.. anybody have any good bikini diet plans? Exercise regimes? Please let me know I need advice!

One to follow... Katie Styles. Absolutely amazing ideas from such a talented girl.

Thank You and Goodnight

Happy June...

I cannot believe how quickly this year is going. I've decided to make some mid year resolutions and use this blog as an attempt to keep them...

- grow my nails again (on going battle...)
- tone up to get a good bikini body before France (in 8 weeks time)
- take more photos
- save save save for that little house I want!!
- learn to cook something other than enchiladas and risotto
- finish my NVQ (by October)

I may add more..

So this week has been quiet at work, I'm currently multitasking by cooking coca cola cupcakes for my boyfriend whilst updating this blog and checking my emails.

I'm off next week though, I can't wait, my first proper break since I started... I'm off to Center Parcs with Mum, Dad, Sam (boyfriend), Ben (brother) and Bryony (brothers girlfriend). We've got some good stuff booked.. Salsa, Family Quiz, Sam's doing Falconry and Laser Quest.. OUTDOORS.. which is basically paintballing with no pain. So expect a picture heavy post when I get back.

I've been playing around on ASOS fashion finder recently. I enjoy putting the outfits together and wishing I could afford them. I'm off shopping tomorrow so I will post some pics of the goodies I buy.
