Lindt Heaven

The other day Charlie and I went to Clarks Village in Street with, to be honest, one purpose: to take Abi to a Lindt shop!
We did a lot more than just go to one shop though, we went to a Cadbury shop and a Thorntons shop too! (Yes, I am feeling very fat!) We also went to a few clothes shops and book shops and had lunch in Frankie and Benny's!
The highlight of my day of course was the Lindt shop, I couldn't believe how many flavours and colourful wraps there were!
I think it's safe to say that my favourite flavours are Strawberries and Cream and Caramel!
Do you love Lindt chocolate?

A Day In The City

Last week I went on holiday in Devon with my Mum and we managed to do a LOT in just four and a half days! As a result of this I thought I'd share my holiday photos with you over several posts - as I came back with about 200+ photos and don't want to bore you!
 The first day, we went to Exeter where we did lots of exciting things like having lunch in Giraffe - one of the nicest restaurants (and staff) ever! We also went into Whittards and Lush (reviews to come soon!) And we walked along the river and saw the Cathedral too!
 (Wanted this for so long!)
 (This place does THE BEST fudge!)
 Hope you enjoyed the photos!

My First Missguided Purchase

I have loved playsuits ever since I stumbled across one in New Look a few Summers' back. As much as I love them, up until a week or so ago I only ever had two and they were both black...

With the weather getting warmer I wanted my wardrobe to begin reflecting the seasons instead of the greys and blacks that welcome me when I open it! After browsing for a fair amount of time I came across two that I really liked, both from Missguided!

Here they are:

When buying them I thought the blue one would look best on me as I loved the colour and the neckline, but I'm definitely more comfortable wearing the nude one and I think it would be easier to dress both up and down.

Overall I was really happy with my first purchases from Missguided!

Have you ever bought anything from there?

My First Asos Purchase

A week ago I was an Asos virgin, I had heard about Asos  and a lot of my friends had bought things from there before but it just never really appealed to me... 
I have wanted a lined denim jacket for a LONG time, I had already bought my leather jacket which I knew would last a long time but now that the warmer months are upon us I wanted a denim jacket which would look more 'spring-like' but would also keep out the chill of the shade - this is Britain after all.

After scouring the entire internet for AGES I found one I liked, it was £55 but it was when the 20% discount was on so I managed to get it for £44! I don't usually spend much money on clothes (especially one item like this) but I thought it could be an investment and hopefully it will last me for several years!
I am usually a size 10/12 but a size 8 in this was still a tad big, it's meant to be oversized but the size 12 drowned me and I looked like I could have been wearing one of my Dad's jackets!

I really like this jacket, I love the lining (although I wish it had lining in the sleeves too!) and the pockets, as well as the shade of blue denim! Buy it HERE!

What do you think?

What I Did For My Birthday

Hi chums!
I had probably the best birthday yet last weekend so I thought I'd tell/show you what I got up to!
This has to be one of the nicest things to wake up to on your birthday! I got so many lovely and feel so lucky, if you haven't already and you're interested then check out what I got in my previous post!
Birthday cake!
I then drove to Cabot Circus (Bristol) where my boyfriend and I did a bit of shopping before going to the cinema and watching Focus - it was very good!
We then went to Za Za Bazaar which was lovely and then went out for a few drinks!
The next day was a lot more relaxing, we went to a spa in Gloucester where we had a back, neck and shoulder massage and full use of their pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room! After that we got a lunch which was included in our pay package so that was nice! In the evening we drove back to Somerset and went to see Insurgent, this was so good but very jumpy for someone whose not too keen on loud noises!
The last day of the weekend was spent at the beach to enjoy the sunshine! We also went to an arcade where we lost all of our money on 2p machines!!

A Day Out Shopping

Earlier this week I met up with a friend to go shopping in Bristol. It was great to catch up and also enjoy some well earned retail therapy after the stress of exams and results!

The first place I went was LUSH (lush haul is on its way). We spent a longgg time in their deciding what bath bombs, bubble bars and soaps we liked the smell of. I came away with several bath bombs and a bubble bar and I can't wait to try them! One of the things I love about LUSH is that it's all handmade and from organic ingredients too, these things create colourful and wonderfully smelling treats for bathtime!

The second place I went to was Starbucks where I ordered my usual Caramel Frappuccino.

For lunch I had a small pot of popcorn chicken from KFC, I love these I think they're so cute and they taste so good too! Also as they were in a pot we didn't have to stop and eat I could just take it round with me and carry on shopping!

I also enjoyed a Krispy Kreme! Yes, I ate pretty badly that day! It was only my second Krispy Kreme I've ever had and it was really good! We ordered two and I totally forget the names of either but I loved the blue-y purple-y one I think the icing looks amazing on it!

After spending what seemed like hours in shops like New Look and Primark I came away from Bristol with many bags full of stuff (you could smell the bath bombs from miles away I was pretty conscious of that!)
Primark scarves
Hope you enjoyed my post!
