I Went To Topshop...

...and it was good. Check out all the bits I got this weekend in Manchester. I LOVE them. Pastels are very on trend for Spring so I opted for this mint green cricket jumper so I can tie in the pastel trend whilst keeping warm!

I also bought 2 pairs of jeans; one of which I've been lusting after for a good few weeks now. The 'Kristen' high waisted jeans are a perfect cut for any pear shape. Just the right amount of stretch in them without going baggy at the knees / waist. I have them in grape as well but this camel colour is going to be a wardrobe staple for Spring I think!

I also bought a TOTALLY summery pair of ankle grazer jeans (although to be honest I think they're long enough to wear as normal jeans.) The floral pattern on them will look amazing with a pastel cardi and black vest, a definite statement piece for Spring.

And last but not least, I got these gorgeous silky shorts (for those warmer months of course.) I've got an engagement party in March so I think these will definitely be making their debut then. I love the zip detailing at the front, and even though they're high waisted, they are also long enough in the leg so that your bum cheeks don't hang out (because trust me, that's never a good look.) Think I'm going to team it up with a little jacket and chunky gold jewellery.

When God Was A Rabbit

So I've just finished reading Sarah Winmans 'When God Was A Rabbit' and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's been a while since I read a book so quickly and I really struggled to put it down before bed at night. It's definitely one of those 'Just one more chapter...' kind of books. You will laugh, cry and everything in between. Go and read it! Now!

 Here's the synopsis;


'1968. The year Paris takes to the streets. The year Martin Luther King loses his life for a dream. The year Eleanor Maud Portman is born.

Young Elly's world is shaped by those who inhabit it: her loving but maddeningly distractible parents; a best friend who smells of chips and knows exotic words like 'slag'; an ageing fop who tapdances his way into her home, a Shirley Bassey impersonator who trails close behind; lastly, of course, a rabbit called God. In a childhood peppered with moments both ordinary and extraordinary, Elly's one constant is her brother Joe.

Twenty years on, Elly and Joe are fully grown and as close as they ever were. Until, that is, one bright morning when a single, earth-shattering event threatens to destroy their bond forever. 

Spanning four decades and moving between suburban Essex, the wild coast of Cornwall and the streets of New York, this is a story about childhood, eccentricity, the darker side of love and sex, the pull and power of family ties, loss and life. More than anything, it's a story about love in all its forms.'

New Kiehls Treats

Well, I'm back from Manchester after a super fun weekend and I have some new Kiehls products, hooray! I love Kiehls skincare products, but it's only something I can buy once in a while because it's super expensive. (But worth every penny.) This weekend I got the Ultra Facial Cleanser and Toner (I already have the moisturiser.) 

I love that they're alcohol free products so don't strip your skin of natural oils or leave it feeling tights like some cleansers and toners do.Both products are PH Balancing with Apricot Kernel Oil and Avocado oil so leave your skin silky and soft as well as super clean.

 I'd definitely recommend their products (but make sure you get testers first in case you're allergic to any of the ingredients!) Check out the website at www.kiehls.co.uk

Vintage Swifty

Bloody love this song!

Want of the Week

Maybe I'll try it on when I go to Manchester this weekend...

I won't :)

...and so 2012 begins.
