January Sales Purchases

I'm not usually one for shopping in sales, I can't stand how busy they are and hate rummaging around for stuff, plus having worked in retail since I was 17 (not anymore thankfully!) I just couldn't stand shopping in them as well as working through them. 

Even though I'm no longer working in retail now, I still can't stand the thought of the shops.. But luckily enough for me we have this thing called the internet, so I didn't have to! 

Tip: lots of sales actually start on Christmas Day online! I'm not saying to interrupt your family time to do some sale shopping, but I found myself pretty bored in the evening, there was nothing on tv and we'd finished with the festivities so I decided to have a browse, and here's what I bought! Everything is from ASOS by the way except the last item.

P.S. I didn't buy this stuff for the sake of it, I had a specific list of what I wanted. Don't go wasting money on stuff you don't need just because it's cheap!
Nike Racquette Court Trainers In Beige And Metallic Gold asos sale

Nike Racquette Court Trainers In Beige And Metallic Gold - Although I'd say these are grey?! I absolutely fell in love with these at first site! Aren't they just the most beautiful trainers? I was actually looking for some Adidas ones, but I couldn't make my mind up and when I saw these on sale I couldn't resist. I love the rose gold details too.


truffle collection flat chelsea boots asos sale
Truffle Collection Flat Chelsea Boots - my current staple boots are on their last legs so I was on the look out for a new pair. These look like suede too, I do have a thing for suede shoes, I think they add something more to an outfit (although they're harder to upkeep!) I know I'll wear these to death but I'm hoping they'll last me at least another winter. 

vero mode ribbed jumper asos sale

vero moda asos ribbed jumper sale
Vero Moda Ribbed Jumper - Pictured is the back of the jumper, the front is plain ribbed. I was in desperate need of some lightweight jumpers, I don't seem to own any and I've been really struggling with what to wear this winter! This is so easy to throw on with jeans which is why I like it. 

asos jumper in rib black sale
ASOS Jumper in Rib - This jumper is plain and easy and is super flattering on. And for only £6 it was a bargain!

soap and glory take your pink boots sale
Soap and Glory Take Your Pink - I have this thing where I like to stock up on face and body skincare at the beginning of the New Year and have a decent supply to last me a few months, I love soap and glory and I think its worth the money, I picked this up for half price at my local Boots and it contains a mini Clean on Me, Scrub of Your Life, Hand Food and The Righteous Butter (all my favs!)

Lyn Harris La Rose Review


Happy Sunday everyone! Not so happy for me, spending it writing a presentation. My favourite thing ever. Anyway I have another review for you today! :)

So for those of you who know me well, you'll know that I have a growing candle obsession. My friends and family were aware of this, so for Christmas and my Birthday I received a lot of candles, yay!

I was given La Rose by Lyn Harris for my Birthday. I had never heard of the brand personally, but I did a little research and found out that the brand is sold by M&S.

The candle has a really good burn time. I've lit it quite a lot now and it has hardly gone down! The fragrance on the other hand is a bit of a difficult one for me. It really is very floral, and does smell like roses, however its very strong and I can't burn it for more than an hour in my small bedroom without it becoming a bit overpowering. However I have found this with a lot of candles that I like the smell of, especially sweet ones; too much of a good thing?!

Although the smell does get a bit overpowering, I never want to blow it out because it looks so pretty! It looks so classy with white candle and black writing on the glass, and it just lets off such a nice glow, much nicer than some of my others.

If you're wanting to purchase this candle, its actually half price at the moment on the M&S website for just £7.50. There's also a La Rose fragrance if you want to smell like roses too!

P.S. I took these photos with my new camera, I'm in love!!

What's your favourite candle? Any I should try?
