Please Mr Postman look and see, if there's a letter in your bag for me?

Hi Hi,
This morning I was woken by that beautiful noise that my letter box makes. I jumped up and ran (yes I have no shame) to see what had been delivered, and to my great excitment these had arrived for me:


Check out
 the cute details on the left corners of the parcel

My own little note (^_^)

Aren't they gorgeous?!

So this was my first purchase from Anchor Of Roses and it's fair to say that I'm over the moon with my lovely necklaces (smitten kitten) and I sooo cannot wait to show them off!! 


Hope your all having a fab Tuesday wherever you are in the world,

Purple haze all in my brain, lately things don't seem the same.

Howdy doo daa,
Exams are over yay yay! I'm so happy. I think it went okay and i'm hoping I did enough to pass, fingers crossed! Quite sleepy though after my brain straining day (HAHA) so this will be a short post. In all the excitement I still managed a little bit of shop shop shopping though.


Want to see what I bought? Of course you do:




As you can see I went on a little accessory binge in Topshop and as an added bonus they were all sale items (so gorgeous). So its safe to say I'm a very happy bunny!

There's nothing more than a girl likes than to be complemented and today I was also given three separate compliments on my satchel bag that I got given for my 21st birthday. 

So I thought I would share it with you:

It's a purple colour (this photo doesn't do it justice) and has my initials inscribed on the front and I utterly love it! You can take a look at where it comes from here at The Cambridge Satchel Company let me know what you think!

Hope you've all had a fabby doo Monday you lovelies,

Monday blues.

Morning campers,


It's a tad grey today which is quite apt as I have an Environmental Studies exam at lunchtime (eeek). God I hate exams. I usually get so nervous about them, but with this one I'm eerily calm. I think that's because I already know deep down that I am going to fail haha! I have done literally no revision (oops) but hey ho I've only got myself to blame eh? So fingers crossed it goes a bitty better than I'm expecting, I'd like that. I would also like to send lots of GOOD LUCK to anyone else who has an exam today or coming up in the near future! Anyway if it's possible there is one thing I hate more than exams and it is being starving hungry during it, you know when your tummy rumbles throughout (how emby) so I decided to make a big breakfast as I'm going to miss lunch.


Here's what I had:
A cheese and onion omelette... I know what your thinking, that it doesn't look too appetising right? Well you'd be wrong.. because it was frickin awesome (yum, yum). It was really easy to make and took less than five minutes.

First you break 2 eggs into a bowl add seasoning (salt and freshly ground black pepper) then blend the eggs together with a big fork taking care not to over mix it (try not to whisk or beat them). This is when I added some finely chopped onion and a little grated cheese, but of course you can add whatever you fancy (cut it quite small so it cooks by the time the omelette does) gently combine the ingredients to the egg using your fork.

Place the pan on the heat and let it get pretty hot, add a little oil and butter (half and half) to a pan. As soon as the butter starts melting swirl it around the pan, coating the whole base and the sides. Then turn the heat up to the highest setting and when the butter is bubbling add the egg mix, tilting the pan backwards and forwards to spread the eggs over the whole base. Leave it like this (don't touch) until a frill has formed around the edge of the omlette. Now you can tilt the pan towards you and using a spoon pull the omelette to the centre of the pan, keep doing this to make sure all the egg gets cooked. 

Soon there will only be a little liquid left on the surface of the omelette, so you can start folding. Tilt the pan again and fold one half of the omelette into the centre and then fold again. Take the pan to a warm plate and tip the omelette out on to it. It should be golden tinged on the outside and soft and squidgy on the inside.. YUM!

Whats everyone else getting up to today?

Soap & Glory: Glad Hair Day shampoo and Conditioner Review.


Being someone who is completely head over heels in love with ALL of the Soap & Glory range I was extremely excited when I discovered their shampoo and conditioner and it didn't disappoint. So after getting my tooshy down to boots to snap it up (for a really reasonable price) I couldn't wait to wash my hair with it. The shampoo is fantastic, it lathers up really well and you only need to use a little of the product as a little goes a long way. It left my hair feeling properly clean (unlike some other shampoo's) and really soft with an almost professional glossy sheen. 


Again with the conditioner you really don't need much at all of it. It goes on like pure velvet and it felt amazing when rinsing, absolutely no residue was left and it doesn't build up after time either. It left my hair tangle free, healthy-looking and voluminous.


Just like the rest of the Soap & Glory products these both smell utterly delicious and once my hair was washed and blow dried my hair still smelt gorgeous. For someone who doesn't normally notice anything EVEN Imbo commented on how lovely my hair smelt and how shiny it was.


They are now one of my all time favourite Soap and Glory products and they are also an essential part of my everyday regime. It's going to take a lot for me to change shampoo and conditioner EVER again. I get excited when it's time to wash my hair that's how much I love them!!! 


Next on my Soap & Glory wish list is:
Hair Supply (Radiance and Repair Mask)
Glad Pits (24-Hour Anti-Perspirant)
i Foam (Ultra-Creamy Body Wash)


Has anyone else used any of these products? If so, what did you think of them?

Get to know me better: 10 things I love.

My blog is new today, so I thought I would let you in to some secret (and some not so secret) loves of mine:


1. Imbo
He's very nice and he makes me laugh a lot. He also gives the best cuddles ever.


2. Theo
My cat is just over a year old. he's cuddly, snoozy and purry but sometimes at night he turns into a wild thing. He also has the softest fur ever.


3. Perfume
Daisy by Marc Jacobs is my favourite at the moment. It also has the sweetest bottle ever.

4. Apricale 
Apricale is a beautiful rural village located in the Liguria region of Italy. I go there quite alot as my grandparents own property over there. It clings to the mountainside and doesn't have one road through it. It also has the best piazza (square) ever.


5. Bobinogs 

I have three little brothers. Finn (10), Alfie (8) and Saul (6). They are so going to be heart breakers when they grow up (I'm not biased, honest). They are mad loonies and hilariously funny! They also are the best brothers ever.

6. Diego 
Diego is the family dog, he is a lurcher and we got him from Greyhound Gap. I don't live at home anymore so I don't see him as much as I would like, but every time I go and visit I get a lovely welcoming lick (Yeuchhh). We clicker trained him and I trained him to give paw (Yay, go me). He is really obedient, excitable and loyal and I miss him an awful lot! He also has the waggiest, whippiest (trust me i have the bruises to prove it) tail ever.

7. The Isle of Coll

picture from: http://www.scotland-inverness.co.uk/coll.htm

The Isle of Coll is an Inner Hebride island off the coast of Scotland. It is 13 miles long and 3 miles wide and has a population of around 200. I have been going to Coll with my mum's family for nearly every summer since I was born. You have to take a ferry to get there or you can fly now and it is an amazing place for a getaway. It also has the most amazing beaches ever.

8. Books
Big ones, small ones, new ones, old ones, sad ones, cheesy ones, good ones and bad ones. I love every kind of book. I love how they can transport you to a different place and time completely and how they tap into your imagination like nothing else can. They also are one of the only things I would never go on holiday without ever.

9. Food


This was the breakfast I had on my 21st birthday (nom nom nom). It consisted of a bagel with cream cheese and salmon, strawberries with melted milk and white chocolate and that was  all topped off with a glass of champagne (so spoilt). I go through phases with food at the moment I am loving going out to eat at YO! Sushi (tuna sashimi and edamame) and Wagamama (ramen noodles). I'm also really enjoying making lemon and garlic roast chicken with potato wedges (delicious) and chili tacos (sloppy, cheap and easy yuminess). It is also something I cannot live without ever (duh).

10. Shoes


I have so many pairs of shoes (what girl doesn't) but you can never have TOO many.. obviously. These are my latest editions. The top pair are slip on plimsolls from River Island and I have teamed them with this over sized mouse print slouchy jumper (so cute) to wear with denim shorts or turn up trousers. The Bottom pair are my new lace up, brogue, corduroy wedges (pretty and so comfy) from I Love Shoes. These are great because they literally go with anything at all and they don't give you sore feet EVEN after dancing in them all night. So yes, I LOVE SHOES you've caught me. They are also the greatest confidence booster ever.

So there you go.. A little peek into my life and loves. Hope you enjoyed!
