TGIF // Friday Favourites

There's a definite Autumn/Winter theme to today's Friday Favourites. I just bloomin love A/W.

This tote bag is from Waterstones, the illustration is by Quentin Blake, it's a total throw back for me so when I saw it I snapped it up right away. It's smaller than your average tote bag and I've been using it to transport my lunch to and from the office every day. It's the perfect size.

I've been lucky enough to have some how managed to have a cold for a month straight now, this ginger cordial has been a total life saver for me. This cordial is the only reason I've not lost my voice/ torn out my throat in annoyance or curled up in a ball and tried to hibernate.

I have these pyjama trousers as part of a set from Primark. There is nothing more wintery (is that a word) in my mind than a set of red tartan pyjamas. Every time I wear them it makes me happy. My sister and Bekah also have the same set because I made them get them and we are that cool. Jealous? I thought so.

My sister got me this lipstick last year and I love it. It's really dark and probably as close to black as I will ever be brave enough to wear. Plus, could the packaging get any nicer?

I picked these boots up from Ebay for £16 and oh my am I in love. They are so comfortable and they don't make the clip clop noises (the two things I value most in a heeled boot).

What are some of your favourites during the Autumn/Winter seasons?

I've not done a Friday favourites in a while, most of my favourites recently have been birthday presents and I'm doing a blog post on my presents.

I just finished reading this book and if you're looking for a quick cosy read this is perfect. Plus if you know me you know I love a book about books!

This nail polish has been a favourite of mine for years. It's the perfect nail polish for those days that I can't make a decision about what colour to wear. Depending on the light and angle the polish can look blue, green or purple on the nail.

First off I would like to apologise for the awful quality of these photos. I used my good camera but the battery was crazy low and I think that screwed it up. I'm pre writing blogs for when I go away for a month and re-taking photos is not really an option. Sorry!

 I love love love this bag from Dorothy Perkins, it's the perfect black bucket bag. The clasp at the bottom of the bag lets the strap slide easily out and lengthen without messing about with pulling material through a buckle.

 So everyone always says I'm a hat person, and I don't disagree BUT I hardly ever wear hats because I feel over dressed when I do. But as I'm going away to Romania for a missions trip to do a lot of outdoor work I needed a hat, and I just don't feel like I pull of a cap. This was the ultimate cheap and foldable hat option. It was from the Dorothy Perkins sale and I kind of love it.

 These shoes from Boohoo are my absolute saviour. Finally black shoes that are mega comfy. It's real love.

 So this is the point where the camera quality takes a nose dive. I had a lot of waiting around to do the other day and I picked this up to read. The articles are so varied that if one isn't to your taste the next will.

I am ashamed to say that I am utterly obsessed with DoDo Pop on my phone AND my laptop. I'm currently stuck on level 95 on both devices. Someone help me!

What are your current obsessions?

So I decided it was about time I made myself switch from my normal ginormous handbag to something a bit smaller and more colourful for summer. So I chose this bag from New Look. It's orange and small and that's about all I needed to know to buy this. I wouldn't say I'm loving using a small bad, I find it means that I spend half my day playing tetris trying to fit everything I 'need' into it, or bringing a tote bag with me so I can bring my laptop etc,.

I bought a pair of white trainers from Primark, this pair is the most similar still available. I have a pair of Stan Smith's which I love but I needed a cheap pair that I wouldn't mind wrecking. These are super comfy and cheap enough that I don't feel bad if they get ruined quickly.

I picked up this fake tan from Boots the other day. Usually I buy the St Moriz one where it develops over 6 hours and then you wash it off but I thought I would give this one a go and wash it off after 1 hour for a light tan. It came out really well and not at all streaky. Although I think next time I would leave it on for a wee bit longer.

I have been loving these Precious Metal and Solstice palettes from Sleek. As soon as I have even the slightest tan I go highlighter crazy. And these two palettes are gorgeous!

So there we have it, my Friday favourites all of which I'm coincidentally wearing/have used today.

What are some if your current favourites?

Time for another Friday favourites. This time I've based it around a "normal spring look" for me. I haven't put trousers in but obviously I do wear trousers....black skinnies (duh).

 Spring has sprung for this Friday Favourites, anyone who knows me is probably surprised by how much pink is in this post. Usually I am so not into baby pink but apparently when it comes to ginormous mugs, magazines and blusher I'm a pink girl!

I would first off like to complain about the photos in this post. It was an unbelievably grey day and my camera was not in a cooperative mood. So sorry!

A blog favourite for the last month or so has definitely been BohoBerry. Kara's entire blog is perfection but I've especially loved her Bullet Journal posts. I've not found anyone else who makes such a simply, effective and beautiful bullet journal!

 Some of you may know that I've given up diet coke for lent. If you know me you'll know how much diet coke I'll drink, I don't want to be dramatic but oh my goodness do I miss diet coke. So now I've discovered Ice Tea, I'd only ever had peach tea before and I hate peach so I assumed I didn't like iced tea. Man was I wrong.
