Ello!!
Sorry for my absence. No excuse just pure laziness!! 🙈 tut tut!
So, I decided I'd do kind of a monthly favourites post. I've been enjoying lots of different bits and bobs so thought I'd share.
But firstly, I'd like to talk about how id like my blog to go. I like filofax. Obviously! But I also enjoy buying makeup, handbags, clothes and lots of other things. I know i originally started my blog to be for my filofax muses but I'd also like to include the other loves of mine. I hope you'll enjoy the random content I intend to add to my blog. 😘😘
Ok, enough jibber jabber on to the goodies!
My agenda. I.am.in.love.
I've been in it for 5 weeks! WHAAAAT?! 😳 this is crazy shiz! I like to swap and change my planners but I'm just enjoying this one so much. It's working great. I'd love the ebene too 😍
I've always had a soft spot for stripes but the past few weeks I've gone crazy for them! I seem to be wearing them everyday!
I love the dress from hm, it's very boxy but is a very comfortable shape to wear. I also brought it in black but the stripe seems to fit better.
The two long sleeved tops are H&M. I love the boat neck one (.hm) So parisien! The other, (hm) is very floaty fabric but shrinks very easy! 😑 the short sleeved one is from primark and has a chiffon back. Very pretty and will look great with some chinos or slacks 👌
Hubby and I went to see fifty shades of grey last week and as much as I wanted to love it, I didn't! It was ok. Could have been lots better though. Anyway, after watching the film I wanted to jog my memory on the rest of the story so I started reading the books again. I'm on fifty shades darker. I actually really enjoy these books. I see something very different to a controlling man, I see a love story. (Putting the whips and chains aside of course!)
In the make up department. I've recently be into lipsticks. Designer lipsticks!
I'm the type of gal that'll buy makeup from the supermarket. Aslong as I get to have the foundation I like (I'll do a post on it once it arrives) I don't mind where the rest comes from. But recently I've been eyeing YSL and Chanel.
The chanel is a lovely lip balmy kind of formula. Very soft and silky but honestly doesn't last that long! I got mine in shade 93 'in time' it's a very pretty rosey nude.
The yves-saint-laurent is much more pigmented. The colour goes on much darker and you don't need as much. I got shade 13 'peach passion' it's perfect for spring summer 🍑
I also found this little body spray in hm It's lovely and fresh and makes me think of warmer days ☀️ not that I love the warmer weather but this winter sure has brought us some bad times so im longing for some sun for a change.
It's citrus and vanilla and smells glorious!
I have some lush bath bombs left too.
In fact, I've just used the dragons egg!!
I must use them faster than I do, I think that saving them and using them later isn't the best plan. I find them to be alittle less fizzy if I've saved them for afew weeks 😑
Candles. I love them. This one is a cheap one from home bargains. Its vanilla and if I'm honest I only brought it for the jar!! I mean come on, how pretty?
My father in law gave me this gucci watch many years ago and I wear it everyday. I just love it. Its simple, small and looks like a bangle. It's been a fave of mine for ages and wanted to share it's prettiness!
Now, I've always liked the ray-ban wayfarer shape but never wanted to spend the money on a real pair. I chuck my glasses in my bag and 9 times out of 10 they'll get broken. But I took the plunge and got some. I promise I'll keep them in their case! 🙈
We all know I'm a glitter fan and I'll wear it all year round, so when I found these little pretties in hm they came home with me!
I like to put fairy lights around our headboard and really liked the look of the little flower ones. I found these on ebay They came from china but at that price I didn't mind the wait! They look lovely on the bed....
Like i said I like bags and accessories. So while looking on ebay for the fairy lights I found this!
It's a vintage Louis Vuitton pochette. The vachetta leather is alittle worn and dark but I gave it a clean and now love it! It's about 15 years old and for the price I just couldn't leave it behind!
I hope you enjoyed my faves. These have been my loves this past month.
I hope y'all have had a great weekend?
See you soon.
