Inspiration

 
These shoes! They are so so so adorable.
 
 
I wish I looked this effortless all the time.
 
 
Big sunnies & a denim jacket. Need I say more?
 
 
Ah these beautiful shorts & a bit of tie-dye. Totally won me over.
 
 
Did I mention I have this top? I'm going to have to try styling it with a plait.
 
 
Her hairrrrr. If I had the patience to do this every day I would.

What's inspired you this month?

Snug As A Bug

Hey lovelies : )
 
Just a quick post today on some adorable jumpers I've been lusting over. After all.. you can never prepare for the cold weather too early in England.. : )
 
 
Burgundy Sheep Jumper - How adorable is this? Seriously. It's so cute. I actually fell in love with this when I felt how soft it was. Almost like stroking a real sheep.. (& yes I do that often being a farm girl ; D)
 
Chunky Boucle Jumper - I just adore this style of jumper. It looks adorable with it's high neck & dipped hem. The colour just adds to the perfectness.
 
Popcorn Textured Jumper - Again, if you get the chance, go & feel this jumper. It's so soft & warm. You'll fall in love.
 
Topshop Quilted Jumper - This one looks so snug, who could turn it down?
 
Tie Dye Galaxy Jumper - How fantastic is this? Yes I realise it's not everyone's taste, but galaxy print is just stunning.
 
Florescent Chunky Knit - I just had to include something pink in this post. At such a reasonable price of less than £10, I want to pick up more than just the one colour.
 
Which is your favourite?

Adventure Time - Crabbing!

Hello lovelies : )
 
So, yesterday was a sad day. I had to say goodbye to my boyfriend as he headed off to university for a possible 7 years to become a fully qualified vet. Last Thursday was our last full day together as I was working Friday & he left yesterday, so we decided to go crabbing, something I'd never done before & always wanted to do.
 
So we packed up the car with a bucket, some bacon & my camera & headed to the beach.
 
 
My lovely excited face at the end there, haha.
 
We actually managed to catch about 15 crabs in under an hour, which isn't bad seeing as I was like an excited child & kept pulling my line out before it had even hit the bottom! They seemed to love the bacon (& just incase anyone is wondering, we didn't use a hook & we threw all the crabs back into the sea after catching them). They also had a nice bucket of water, complete with some shells & seaweed to play in.
 
After crabbing, we went out for dinner at our local Chinese & then headed to the pub to meet up with some friends.
 
 
I wore my beautiful new dress from ASOS which luckily had an elastic waist as we ate far too much at the all-you-can-eat buffet.
 
Have you ever been crabbing before? : )

Life At The Moment #48

Black & white / NOTW / NOTW with spots / Puppy dog eyes / YES! Excited to watch this / Maybelline Baby Lips, wanted this for so long, post here / I love him / Selling merch at work / Date with this fatty / New dress / This whale sits over my head every day at work / DOUGHNUTS / Cake / Breakfast in bed / Squeeze / Standard dinner on the beach / Windy beach / Sunshine / NOTW #2 / Found this little guy covered in mud in the garden

So, today has been emotional.
 
I won't go into details, but I had a customer reduce me to tears at work & we've started the countdown into the last week James has until uni starts. He'll be moving 3 hours away - which to be fair, isn't the greatest distance I know, but after days like today, it would be nice to know he was just around the corner for a cuddle.
 
I had a visitor in my garden when I came home today too. That little bird you can see there was covered in mud & unable to move. After a bit of squawking, pecking, cleaning & putting powder on his wounds, he was fit to be released.
 
How has your weekend been?

Maybelline Baby Lips

You have no idea how long I've been hunting for this product. It seems to have sold out every time I've ventured into Boots or Superdrug. But finally.. I found it!
 
 
If you haven't heard about Maybelline's new lip product, where have you been?! This product not only claims to moisturise your lips for up to 8 hours, but also adds a hint of pigmentation.
 
 
As most of you know, I'm a pink girl at heart so I just had to go for the pinkest shade in the collection - Pink Punch. These lip balms are totally affordable & retail for £2.99 in Boots.
 

 
I absolutely love the packaging - seriously how cute is it?

 
They apply so easily onto the lips but I find myself applying them at least once every two hours, sometimes more. The colour does last, but fades after a while. My lips do feel moisturised after wearing the balm, but it definitely needs applying more than every eight hours.

 
What do you think of this balm? Have you tried any of the other shades?
 
I'm thinking of purchasing Cherry Me & Peach Kiss next time I'm in town. : )
