I GOT A NEW SHIRT + LIFE STUFF

Hey guys!!

Look I got a new shirt isn't it pretty!? Well if I'm honest we were doing a food shop in ASDA and when I spotted it my lovely boyfriend offered to get it for me. :) I just adore the pattern and the rose gold button detail, plus when I tried it on it was super comfortable and soft material. I was wearing black leggings at the time which I thought it looked alright with but jeans would have been a better option for me personally.

I rarely go to ASDA so I hadn't taken the time to have a proper look at the George range before, but now that I have I love it! I will be sure to check out their range more regularly, most likely online purely because the store is not that easy for me to get to. If you like the pattern but want to make it a bit more girly then they also do it in a shift dress which comes down to the knee. They also had lots of extremely cosy looking knitwear which I was tempted by but as I recently got my wraps from M&S it was probably best that I wait for a bit! Besides the next thing I want to buy is some slippers because I live in bed socks when I am walking around the house but it would be nice to have something a little more shoe-like you know?

Here's some close up pics of the shirt:

This shirt cost £14 from ASDA, if you are from outside of the UK they will most probably have the same range in Walmart.

Life update:

I know I have been neglecting the blog recently and for that I am really sorry! It's just down to me being too tired to write anything, but as I have a day off today I thought I would catch you all up. Plus I am currently suffering with a cold so constant sniffling, achey eyes and headaches are also occurring. However much like Gloria Gaynor I will survive! I have some melon slices and vitamin tea to get the old immune system working again (hopefully).

I hope you all are well, as always would love to hear what's going on in your lives and any comments about this or my other posts will be very much appreciated. Follow me on Google+ for all the latest updates as a share everything on there. Thanks for reading!

PRIMARK HAUL!

HEY GUYS!

I am obsessed with Primark's home items at the moment, they are sooo pretty and seasonal. It caught my eye when I was having a browse in town the other day, they had a window display with some candles, fluffy blankets and a cute wolf canvas print. Jack liked the wolf as well so we decided to have a gander upstairs to see how much it was. After going up two lots of escalators we reached the top floor where the home section was and were delighted to find that our friend wolfie was only £2.50! 

So obviously we got that and then began exploring all the other cosy looking treats. As usual I gravitated towards the candles and proceeded to smell each of them systematically. I always struggle whether I should buy them based on scent or if they match my colour scheme, if it has both then it's basically fate. I picked up one that smelt of red berry and jasmine (£1.50) (very nice indeed) and one that was called 'falling star' which apparently smelt like old ladies but it was in this gorgeous jar with a little star charm attached to it (£4)so I got it anyway, there is also a snowflake one which I may pick up at a later date. Not sure what's wrong with me at the moment but sometimes when I mean to type 'I' I type 'A' so I apologize if you notice this at any point, please let me know!

I spent ages looking at these slippers that had memory foam in the sole but when I found the perfect pair (grey mini boots with faux fur around the trim and inside with a cute bow detail) of course they didn't have my size. :( I went back the next day and still nothing but as I work in the shopping centre I guess it's okay as I can keep checking. 

Another item I got was the most comfy, fluffy, elegant looking throw I could find. We needed one for our sofa as it's not in the best condition, we figured why not just dress it up with a smart looking throw and some cushions. Now I am cushion mad, and I had to restrain myself from buying one with an adorable raccoon on it, but if it's still there next payday I'm going for it. I do have a sizable cushion collection already though so don't worry it won't be looking bare.

The last thing I got was some fluffy bed socks, you can never have too many pairs of these. They are great for just going around the house when the evenings get cooler there's nothing worse than having chilly toes! I get most of my bed socks from Primark because they have such a big selection and you can get a two pack for £2 in most of the designs. 

Don't get me wrong I would be all over Laura Ashley Home, M&S and John Lewis if I could actually buy any of their stuff without going broke! But for now I'm good with Primark, they are reasonably priced, have lots of choice and their stuff is decent! Well worth a look, here's some pictures of what I got:

Let me know what you thought of this post or what you would like to see in future posts in the comments and link you own blogs so I can have a look! See you next time :)
