eBay Haul

Everyone who knows me knows I love eBay. Possibly an unhealthy amount. 

Not only do I love it for clearing out my wardrobe and making me cash but also for re-filling it and saving me cash. I have been picking up bits here and there for well over a month and finally got it all together for one monster haul post. So lets go!

Brandy Melville maxi skirt with split £7

Topshop maxi dress (in the style of Carrie Bradshaw) £10

Topshop playsuit £11

Fearne Cotton dress £6

Topshop shirt £5.10

Topshop dresses £7 each

Chicago Bulls jersey brand new £25

Stupid blogger won't let me rotate these picures*

Skirt from Oasis brand new £10

Topshop shorts £4.50

I also picked up another playsuit and Levi shorts that I forgot about until now. 

AND on Monday I snagged myself a Marc Jacobs bag for £50 which should be at home waiting for me now. 

Totally love eBay but I am now quitting. I have got the pieces I wanted at bargain prices & I don't need to keep shopping. All of this was funded by selling my old stuff so I haven't actually spent a penny yet.  

New Years Resolutions update

We are well into the fourth month of 2014 and this is totally insane to me, time seems to be flying by and I have decided it is time to review my resolutions that I made back in January. You can check out my original post here -Link-. 

So one by one lets see how badly I am doing.. 

My first one was to exercise at least once a week, now I am doing this by walking places instead of driving but I think I need to take it up a gear. I am going to break the bike out of the shed and hit the road. Jack. 

(If you don't understand that reference, google is your friend)

The second was to visit two new places in the world and although I haven't been yet I have got two new destinations booked and paid for. Exciting!

Third is a total fail, saving £500 a month. NO WAY am I even close but re-reading my resolutions has made me feel guilty enough to try harder. 

Fourth was no more impulse shopping. Yay I have done one! I no longer click and buy, I put thought into these things and whether I actually need them or not. 

Fifth is to take more photos. Although I am still not doing it as much as I want to I have had my camera out more and I feel I have taken some beautiful photos like these of Taylor Swift -Link-.

Sixth is to spend more time with friends and family, although this is a constant thing I feel I am doing this one quite well. 

And finally seventh is to be grateful for what I have every day. This one is a work in progress but I am sure as hell trying. 

How are your new years' resolutions going? If you didn't make any in January make some spring resolutions!

What would you like to see?

I can't quite believe that I am reaching almost 10,000 clicks on my little blog. This whole thing started just as a cure to bordem in my office job and it's nice to know there are some of you reading it out there. 

However seeing as I don't have social media I don't get as much feedback as I would like from you guys so now I am asking you, what would you like to see on my blog?

It can be anything and everything so please do let me know. You can either leave me a comment below or send me an e-mail at

Can't wait to hear from you!

L'Oreal Ever Strong Conditioner Review

First up let me tell you how amazing this conditioner smells, not only does it smell great in the shower it sticks to your hair for days. It is a mint scent and I just want to smell my hair all day when I use it. 

I bought this conditioner (and an Ever Pure Shampoo) because I wanted to test out no sulphates products. After the first few washes I didn't really notice a difference in my hair but by the time I had finished off the two bottles it was hard not to notice. My hair became softer, more easily managed and I noticed a lot less breakages. 

I only wash my hair twice a week so this conditioner has been a constant for around 6 weeks, I do have long frizzy hair so conditioner always runs out before shampoo but this conditioner did feel like it went a long way. Not quite as much was required as usual which is a bonus for me, making it last longer and saving me pennies. 

The L'Oreal Ever Pure/Strong/Sleek range are a little bit above the usual price range of regular shampoos and conditioners coming in at around £5.50 per bottle. Not and issue if like me you don't wash your hair every day, but if you do I would recommend using these once a week just to give your hair a break from the chemicals. 

My final view on the range is I will definitely re-purchase and try out other variants in the line but only when they are on offer. It doesn't feel quite worthy of £6 a bottle but I do like it. 

Have you tried out the new L'Oreal range? What are your thoughts?

New candle crush

As you guys may have noticed I have a thing for candles, but doesn't everyone?

On Friday 28th March it was my Mum's birthday and on top of all the usual gifts I picked her up a new giant Yankee Candle in Vanilla Chai. 

First up let me tell you this candle is basically one of the best smelling candles ever, if you like spicy sweet scents you will adore this. After 30 minutes of burning our kitchen was this little slice of heaven, smelling sweet and like I wanted to eat the air. The notes are ginger, cinnamon and vanilla; I am someone who actually hates cinnamon but in this candle it is beaut. 

Love love love. 

I picked it up from eBay for £14, a massive £6 saving over picking it up in my local Yankee Candle store.

Casually spending a small fortune on ASOS

If you guys didn't know I have got a few big events coming up over the next 6 months or so including two weddings, two holidays of dreams and starting a new job. Now I am still very much on the saving band wagon for my own little home but I need a new outfit or two to cover all of the events listed above. 

What better place to hit than ASOS themselves, I picked up a few different items in the hope that some of them will be awful and I can get my money back.. but they are just so beautiful I might have to keep them all. 

The first was the most lovely dress by Ted Baker in this beautiful mint green, this dress is a whopping £129 but I have decided I need a few top quality items in my wardrobe. Middle picture shows the colour best, I am besotted with this dress. It's so flattering and pretty.

The second is this cute dress from ASOS own brand in lilac, at £20 you cannot go wrong. It has a very cute sweetheart neckline, perfect for summer.

The third item is another Ted Baker dress but this one was reduced all the way down to £56..Sadly it is miles too long for me and too big.

The fourth and fifth are two jumpers that couldn't be more different. The disney one sadly turned out to be really thin and rough to touch so this is going back. Weep.

The second is a coatigan I have had my eyes on since November. Back when I worked at Monsoon I bought a navy cardigan that I still live in 5 years later, I decided it's time to bring another into the mix.. It is beautiful, so soft and cosy.

This whole shop set me back a whopping £222! Two items are going back but it's still a big dent in my credit card. 

But they so pretty and you only live once right?
