Hello lovelies!
We are in the last month of summer and I thought I'd show you all the pieces I have bought before we go onto all things Autumn, which is around the time where I seem to find more inspiration to create content, it might be because it's my favourite time of year weather wise, I'm not made for the intense heat we've had in England recently, so I can't wait for jumpers and boots weather...But for now, lets looks at some bits I have purchased over the past few months.
As of June I got a new job role where I work, I am a receptionist/admin advisor/ helping with community projects. So, of course I used this as a good excuse for a new bag and stationary to match!
I purchased this smart, white bag from 'Peacocks', which is hugely spacious and is just what I needed as I seem to have notes and folders on me all the time.
I found this beautiful 'Cath Kidston' ballerina pencil case which I adored from the moment I first saw it, it reminded me of my magical trip to see 'The Nutcracker' ballet in December and I knew this was the pencil case for work, even though it was in the kids section I really am not fussed about that.
I knew I needed some pretty stationary to pop into my new case, one of my work friends had the prettiest pens and folders, all in pastel shades and I had to know where she purchased them. Luckily for me they were being sold at a local shop in my town, so on my work break I popped there and found all the stationary, pastel goodness!
I purchase a pack of 4 folders in the colours mint, lavender and baby pink, I also bought the pastel pack of highlighters, a baby pink ruler, a packet of baby pink pencils and a pack of baby pink pens to match. Oh! I also purchased a pink pencil sharpener too.
The next thing I needed was a lunch bag, so I remembered in Primark by the tills they had a section of large and small bags and I thought this would be perfect as a lunch bag, even better that they had a 'Marry Poppins' one and it was only £1!!
I took a quiet stroll into Waterstones, a bookshop I absolutely love!! It's such a wonderful opportunity to take time for yourself and look at all the books around...I found these two, 'Mary Poppins' I have been wanting this edition for a while now, as it's has the most beautiful pink and white stripes adorning the book. 'The Audrey Hepburn Way of How To Be Lovely', this is such a wonderful insight into Audrey's thoughts and how she always remained classy and a kind soul.
I finally invested in an eye cream and I chose (of course) a pretty pink one. I recently changed my skincare to Clarins and I've been blown away by the quality of their products and what a good job they have been doing. This eye cream has a smooth mental applicator to help soothe redness and puffy eyes in the mornings especially.
Recently I've been finding a few antique shops that are in my area and it's been so much fun, I had to stop myself from buying too much, but out of all the beautiful pieces, I chose this lovely vintage vinyl of Mary Poppins, I couldn't believe I found this, I haven't ever seen it before, so I feel lucky to own this. The illustration on the cover is beautiful!
With my new job I really needed a travel cup to at my desk, especially when the cooler months start arriving and I become addicted to tea's and hot chocolates again.
I went on to the 'ShopDisney' website and found this adorable travel cup with a grumpy, morning Tinkerbell covering one side and writing on the back saying 'Mornings aren't magical'.
I am actually a morning person, but I sometimes agree with Tink ;) I just adored this!
I never really look much at OPI nail polishes, I love Essie so much that I'm usually drawn to their counter...However this beautiful pink, sparkly nail polish caught my eye! I turned it over and the shade was labelled 'Princess' Rule!', I really wanted this, but the original OPI price was £12.99, so at the time I thought I'd wait and luckily I did, I found the exact same nail polish in TKMaxx for £3.99!!! I was so happy and felt incredibly lucky when I saw this.
As well as my pretty Tinkerbell cup, my lovely fiancee purchased me this beautiful Minnie Mouse hoodie from 'ShopDisney'. I was looking at this piece in the Disney Store and I couldn't believe the brilliant quality and how warm and cosy the lining is. The hoodie is a baby pink colour, with an old fashioned pencil sketch of Minnie Mouse and in white thread 'Minnie Mouse' sewn in.
I can't wait to wear this with my candyfloss coloured wellies for Autumn walks in the woods.
This was actually something I never intended on buying, but how could I leave this beautiful storage box on the shelf?!
I took a wander around The Range and was super surprised at how many beautiful pieces they had, I think they've started getting their autumn stock coming in, as I saw so many pretty pink bits and pieces there, so I recommend having a look in there.
I hope you all enjoyed my summer haul, I'm hoping *fingers crossed* to have a new posting schedule of every two weeks, so it gives me times to not rush making content...Hopefully I can stick to this :)
I'd really like to start making autumn content very soon!!
I hope you have a wonderful week filled with positivity and happy days!
