Intu Potteries SS18 ❤

Hi All!

I’m so ready for summer now, who’s with me? The snow is just not practical anymore, the first time it snowed it was amazing after that…meh! I’m dreaming about my summer holidays, and I have already started to browsing online for holidays, I bet I’m not the only one, you might have even booked one already!

I had a lovely day out with the family at Intu potteries, there is so much to do for the family, the shopping centre has made so many changes over the years. We went shopping for a few hours, we then went to Pizza Express for dinner. I would defiantly recommend the lasagne and dough balls they are amazing! We then went to the Cinema just round the corner to watch Peter Rabbit, Popcorn and slush puppies where a big hit! The potteries has so much to do for families and you could easily spend the day there, there is plenty of car parks and shops for everyone!

The Potteries also currently have a flower mannequins in the centre until 6th may, I would go and check this out, they all look brilliant! each mannequin is dressed in flowers in the latest trends this Spring/Summer. They also have a competition on, if you can guess how many flowers have been used on one mannequin you can win a £50 gift voucher to spend in any of the shops.

I noticed that the shops are all full of Spring/Summer wear, the winter sales are also everywhere right now and I have already picked up some key pieces for next winter in the sale. I think now the shops have also changed season this is making me want a holiday even more, I have picked up a lovely jumpsuit in the sale for my first holiday piece.

Whilst I was shopping at the weekend  at Intu Potteries , I  noticed 4 key trends for this Spring/Summer the first one is Lavender there are so many different shades pink lavender, Spring Crocus, Ash Rose and Almost Mauve, I’m a big fan of all of the shades and have noticed I already have a few items in those shades.

The next trend is PINK if you haven’t seen pink in the shops where have you been hiding? as this is a big trend and has been for a while now. The shops are full of pink this is a very easy trend to follow and one that doesn’t need to be expensive.

Metallics is also a trend that is popping up in the shops again, I don’t think this is a trend that really leaves. So this is also a very easy trend to follow and can do this just by a handbag or a pair of shoes. What do you think of the trends at the moment? are there any trends that you love.

I thought I would show you a few of the key items I picked up whilst updating my wardrobe for the new trends this Spring/Summer. I decided to follow the Love lavender trend as you can see I picked up some amazing pieces! Everything I picked is from Topshop so everything is still in store if you fancy a shopping trip!

The bag is lovely and the perfect size! I manage to fit so much into this bag, and I have had so many compliments already. I really like the Gold stud detailing on the bag and the gold chain, the bag looks a lot more expensive then what it is. With the strap and the opening of the bag makes this look very designer, the opening is unlike any other bag I own, very easy to open and shut and keeps everything safe in side. I paid £32 for the bag which is a great price  for a bag of this size, the bag is the pink lavender shade.

The shoes are white converse, I don’t think you can go wrong with converse I pick up a new pair most Summers as there is nothing better then a fresh white pair of converse. They are just so comfortable easy to style! and I’m yet to find an outfit that they don’t go with, they just look perfect in the Summer with a dress. Schuh currently have so many pairs in! I love the new colours they have a pink lavender colour which is so pretty, I love the gold detailing that they have added to the shoes. Most pairs of converse are the same price the white pair is £50

The jeans are also Topshop they are a lighter pair, I think in the Spring/Summer you defiantly need a light pair of jeans they look lovely with sandals and summer tops. The colour I normally get is the light blue bleach effect, the pair I’m wearing in the pictures are the Jamie style from Topshop which are high waisted they retail at £40. I find the jeans to be long wearing and to fit me well.

The blouse is also Topshop which is the Almost Mauve shade, I have seen this blouse all over Instagram lately! so if you want this blouse I would pick one up quick as I know there selling out quick. I have noticed they have started selling more colours now,I think I need the Khaki shade next. The blouse retails at £29 which is a good price for this top, this top can be dressed down for in the day I wore mine with converse, or you can add back jeans and a pair of heels for the evening! I love the buttons on this blouse and the shape.

The Earrings are a trend that have been around a while, The tassels I went for are the smaller pair they did have longer ones. I think the pair I have picked are great if you’re undecided on the trend or not brave enough for the long tassels, as much as I love the trend I think the smaller pair suit my style better. The shade is also Pink Lavender, I picked them up in a pack of 3 similar styles to this pair, they where priced at £8.50 for the 3 pairs.

*What do you think of my outfit? What trend are you currently loving? could you see yourself wearing the pink Lavender trend?

Lots Of Love,

Last minute Stocking Fillers ❤

Hi All!

I’m so excited for Christmas this year Dylan is also so I think this is why, we have been to a few family Christmas events also so think this helps! I have also finished my Christmas shopping I might pop into town this week just to have a browse but I’m pretty finished now and have wrapped all the presents I do have.

I have now finished for Christmas in the office! looking forward to a nice break off seeing friends and family. At the start of the week, I had my nails done for Christmas there red and sparkly! I also picked up a few last minute stocking Fillers from B&M Stores so thought I would share with you what I picked up, I managed to get so many bargains.

The St Tropez present was only £5! this box has been slightly damaged at the top but this is okay it’s nothing major and isn’t damaged inside. This was the last one on the shelf and I can see why, great gift for a fake tan lover and to get party ready comes with the tan, mitt and a Ciate nail polish in sparkly gold.

Nivea men gift set you can’t go wrong with a smelly gift set, there products that you know someone is going to use and it’s often a great way to try new products that you might not have thought of trying. This set was only £3.99 for 3 full sized products such a bargain!

Garnier Hydrate gift set I couldn’t not buy this one, the sheet mask that comes inside is great! I often use this mask for a pamper evening. This gift set was £6.99 for 3 products inside the hydrate day cream, Hydrate night cream, and the sheet mask. I haven’t tried the creams before but if the mask is anything to go by I know they will be good for moisturising your skin, they are all full sized products inside. The day cream usually just to buy is £7.99 so I can’t believe the price of this gift set. I actually have a review soon for the Moisture Bomb mask, will leave the link when this is up.

The last gift is the Dove Ever Blossom collection £3.99 comes with two shower gels and a shower puff sponge, this is a lovely little gift set that you know that someone will be able to use and enjoy. Also, a good way to try new shower gels and scents that you might not have tried previously.

I picked up Dylan an M&M selection box he loves M&M’s! soon as I saw this in the Christmas aisle I knew he would love this in his stocking. You can’t go wrong with Chocolate at Christmas! I have always bought selection boxes, so this is one job ticked off! I can’t remember the price of this selection box but I know it wasn’t a lot, would have been the average price for this kind of thing so possibly £1.99.

Do you shop at B&M Stores? they often have some great bargains, I love the homeware section and the children’s toys. My fur grey rug that’s in my bedroom is from there I found this in store and so much cheaper than other stores where currently selling for!

 

*Are you excited for Christmas? What do you have left to do?

Lots Of Love,

Shop The Sales ❤

Hi All!

I haven’t posted a sales post before, I wanted to let you know of a few sales I have currently seen online. I also wanted to share with you what my top picks are from the sales. I have been looking to update my wardrobe now we are going into autumn and have seen a few key items that would see me through autumn and winter.

Leave me a comment if I have missed off a good sale that we should know about! Sometimes sale shopping can be awful, I have often gone into shops and walked straight back out as they have been so messy and so busy that I couldn’t find anything in my size. I don’t like having to search through loads of clothes rails to find one item of clothing, you expect that from cheaper shops like Primark and I tend to only go in there when I have time to search around.

I do much prefer sale shopping it’s a lot easier! you can clearly tell whats left in your size and not find something you love that’s no longer in your size, having said that some shops take a lot longer to then deliver the items if they are in the sales Next has to be the worst for this you could be waiting up to 4 weeks for the delivery.

I do think the Next sale is very good thought and I do look out for when they are coming up, I have once been to store very early for the sale! I only managed to drag myself out of bed for this as the in-store sale is on another level. They are worth making the trip for if you have children as you can save a lot of money buying them and stocking up in sizes.

Hunter Wellies have been on my list to buy for a while now, they are so practical can be used for festivals, dog walking, doing the school run in the awful rain. I would love to add a pair to my wardrobe for this winter, I think it would defiantly make the school runs better having dry feet! Currently on sale on the Office website 

I’m loving pink at the moment pink clothes and homeware! this jumper is just perfect for the pink trend. And you cant go wrong with Levi’s, I can just tell this jumper would look great and keep you nice and warm for the colder months coming, this jumper is also in the sale for £38 on the psyche website


I have always thought the Mac coats are very classic and can smarten up any outfit, I prefer them in the stone colour as feel they will do more with different outfits. They are a staple coat and I don’t feel they will go out of trend so defiantly something you could get away with investing in. This mac is currently in the Missguided sale but be quick as there aren’t many sizes left at this price!

Have you been shopping lately? Do you like sales?

Lots Of Love,
