Life Lately: Heart Bunting and Shopping

Hello!  I hope you are having a lovely relaxing Sunday evening.  The day was completely misted over here.  The fog was so thick you couldn't even see things that weren't directly in front of you.  It was very atmospheric.  The damp mist made up a bit for the clouded over sky and zero degree temperature.  We went out for chips and tea, then it was time to stock up on my candle selection as I'd become perilously close to running out.  How would I cope with the gloomy evenings without them?

Ah red wine jeans.  Finally.  I was craving a pair of jeans in this colour last year but never actually managed to buy any.  I spotted the perfect pair in Mango a few weeks ago for only 25 euros (!) but I was not in the mood for trying clothes on!  Typically they all sold out in my size really fast and weren't in the shop again for ages, so when I stumbled across them again I snapped them up straight away.  They are the perfect fit for me and have already ventured outside in them many times.

As I had run out of body butters an emergency shop for replacements had to be made.  I ended up buying two just in case I had a bad reaction to one of them.  I picked the Organic Surge Sweet Blossom Body Cream, and the Alba Botanica Hawaiian Body Cream in Kukui Nut.  They both smell delicious though I've had more success with the Organic Surge cream on my sensitive skin so far.

We bought this heart shaped hole punch to make heart shaped bunting for the wedding!

My latest candle stash.  All Bolsius candles as these are the cheapest scented candles they sell at our local department store.  I got vanilla, cranberry and sugar and spice scents.  Just looking at lit candles makes me feel warm and toasty inside.  A lot of shopping seems to be featured in this post, perhaps I should have called it 'Shopping Lately'!

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and have a great start to the week!

Till next time

What I Wore - Coffee Date

Today I went out for coffee with my boyfriend.  I wore my lovely dress by Love from Topshop.  I don't wear my favourite dresses enough because of the weather or because I worry I'll stand out too much/ look too dressy.  I think I'm going to make more of an effort to give my favourite things more outings, they deserve it!

It's such a cute a cute 60's style and is light and flowy.  Of course I had to wear woolly tights as well because of the cold weather!

I wanted to wear a nice light scent to go with it so used this lovely light body moisturiser by L'Occitane in Cherry Princess.  I bought it together with the matching shower gel as a treat and I'm glad I did, it's really lovely stuff with a subtle, light scent.

I went for simple pearl earrings and just blusher and mascara.  Really natural make-up!

I hope you enjoyed this post!
