ASOS HAUL!!!

So I planned on having this post out quite a while ago but I never got around to taking the photos so it has been sat in my drafts for too long and thought I’d finally post it today. I did a fairly large order off the Asos sale and there was just so much I wanted I had to try my best to limit myself slightly, there were just so many bargains I did struggle! But I thought I’d tell you all what I bought with a few photos. I did buy the lace gloves I was in love with when I last blogged about Asos and in truth I doubt I’ll ever wear them but there so soft and pretty I can’t bear to send them back! There a great vintage looking accessory as well I think they'd be great for a fancy garden party or maybe a summer wedding so you never know maybe I will be able to wear them! I also bought two pairs of shorts, one an orange tweed style that look great with nude heels and one pair for the beach which are black and extremely high leg. A duck egg blue skirt with a gingerbread man print, in my ootd post (I wore it the day I got it, thought it was so cute and as I love baking very apt), and floral kimono/blazer which I was apprehensive about but love now it’s arrived (also in my an OOTD post a great sort of summery throw over for when it’s not that warm but you still want something bright and pretty), a gold/cream jumper to keep for the colder months and a gorgeous teal blue cut out playsuit which I am going to save for my holiday! And I think that’s everything but if I have forgotten anything ill have a little edit to the post and that’s all for now, blog soon!

Book Review

Not quite sure whether this post fits with the blog theme but thought I’d pop it in any way! So a book review today. I just finished reading chocolate shoes and wedding blues by Trisha Ashley, it’s a very typical chick flick book, but a great easy read especially on a sun lounger while on holiday this year. The story is about a woman reaching the end of her younger years and time when she can have children but without her fiancée or children which she desperately want. The lead is a great character and feels much more real than a lot of chick flick characters, she loves baking, eating and shoes! A girl with great taste hehe! However you can see where the story is going right from the blurb, it’s definitely not for those wanting a intellectual read. Despite the predictability though I think I’d be disappointed if the story didn’t go the way it does and there are a few surprise twists. This is the first book I’ve read by Ashley and I’ll be reading more for sure! Well written idealistic rom com!

Albi and Lola

Just a quick little post today about a little store I found in Plymouth on Hyde Park Road. It’s called Albi and Lola and is filled with gorgeous knick knacks, furniture and lots of other cute little things. They have some amazing note pads and photo albums, the all have a great vintage look, think I’m going to fill mine with photos as a birthday gift for a friend! But if you’re ever in Plymouth I would recommend a visit and maybe take a wander up the road to the vintage shop Mr Scarecrow's Attic too (but more about that shop later).
