Hello!

Hello lovely people, last week of October! Have you sorted out your Halloween outfits yet? What are you gonna be this year? I had the most fabulous weekend in London with the most amazing friends that I dont get to see enough!



My dancing outfit + comfy pjs watching ER eating chocolate at 4am ... because the kebab van was shut ha!

Lots of fun posts this week including a 'My day in pictures' tomorrow so stay tuned <3 What did you get upto in the weekend & how have you wrapped up warm in this cold weather?
I drive around in my comfy PJs in the morning to work to keep warm!!

Vanfest

I l.o.v.e campervans so much especially since we went round England in one of them this summer! Whenever I see one I just stare at it in awe...not good when I'm driving!! I saw heaps of them today ... I can't wait until I get one, hopefully in the next few years!


         



   



That is my new Model's Own lipgloss & I love it! Lovely shade of red that stays, great for those who don't really want to go full on with a red lipstick! Sorry for the poor quality of pictures - will get a close up of the colour tomorrow!

I will have a mini giveaway when my followers number hit 50! So keep following!! Instead of the usual comment to enter, you'll kinda have to play a game/answer a question correctly. Probably quite boring, but we'll see if I come up with anything more exciting!! Talking about giveaways, headover to Imperfect Obsession for her 100th post giveaway!

Hope all of you have a fun weekend!!

Were you at Vanfest this year and do you love campervans? Have you tried model's own products before? Let me know!!

Review & Mini Holiday!

This Green Tea & Lemon Home Fragrance Oil is absolutely GORGEOUS. I can't stop sniffing it. I've even rubbed it on my nose (pretty sure I'm not meant to do that but it smells TOO GOOD!)! Lemon,green tea, lily of the valley and jasmine helps make this smells this amazing!

Get this from Body Shop now and because I love you guys ... enjoy 30% off with the code AUG30 at checkout! (Ends Monday I think)



Righty ho, I'm off to pack for a mini break in St. Ives - hope you all have a lovely long weekend! Hooray ... but it also marks the end of summer boo :(

I've never...

...slept in a bed dressed like this!



Our friend were pretty impressed when we I recreated this in the morning ... noone had to know I took this picture the night before ... teehee!

My boyfriend...

... is a little silly. aha.

Outdoor shoot

I have the copies of a shoot we did on Sunday, here are a couple, but I'm sure I'll blog more in the future:




I love this one!


Artistic shot


And a close up


The photographer is Jon's very talented and wonderful sister-in-law Theresa. You can find more information about her on her website here. Isn't it such a cute website! It was so much fun I want to do it again!!

Ooh and I've always been a bit of a save the World kinda person ... as I'm moving out I have lots of things I don't need anymore but such a waste to chuck things and contribute towards landfill. I found Freegle (Freely given, locally, easily) and listed some of the things I have to offer and loads of people has requested it! I'm giving away my washing machine to a single parent with two kids without a washing machine so hopefully that'll help him, and a double bed & single bed to people who need them! So if you have anything you don't need anymore (could be anything as long as it's free), register and help those in need!

Stressful weekend ahead - I haven't started packing yet ... oh dear!!

In the mean time, I shall leave you with a sneakpeek from an outdoor shoot few days ago.

Wow!

Ohmywordddd...thank you thank you thank you to Sabrina from A Little Obsessed for choosing me as the winner of her giveaway!!

I can't get over that and am so happy!! Look forward to reviewing the products! Waa so happy!! It's a motivation as well to keep this blog going as I have been slacking a little! Okay im here to bribe you with pictures! I had a lovely weekend deep in the Welsh Valleys away from civilisation at my friend's lovely weekend cottage with about 8 other girls! No TV, no signal .. lots of girly chats, games, open fire, swimming in the river, picnics, wine, books, magazines, chilling out, 5 person hammock!! food, and of course the most important thing ... TEA! mmm love a good cuppa!



One of our walks to the river upper hill (I totally struggled ... need to get fit!)


Amazing views



Found the spot after getting a little lost!




All the girls -1 ♥


River behind the cottage (Cernyw). I think you'll start seeing this on the runway soon lol! Harem pants + wellies + bf hoodie....


I miss the girls - Not sure if you know the story but I'm pretty much the only one who hasn't moved to London after we graduate so I dont get to see them as much now :( sad times. But c'est la vie!

I'll put more pictures of the cottage itself soon so keep checking back! Hope you all had a lovely weekend xxxxxx

Im also happy because my bf & I have finally decided what we'll do next week on our week off work! Instead of getting stressed trying to find holidays (we've left it quite late), deciding between road trip in France or Amsterdam or Portugal etc ... (we're great organisers!!) we have decided to rent a VW Campervan and do a trip around UK! YAY there are so many places I want to go can't wait to go to cute little quaint towns! Best of all I can take Patch (my dog) with me ♥ happy times!

Have you made plans for holidays this year?

Car Boot

We did two car boots this weekend - was so much fun...but waking up at 6am on a Sunday is not!!! Amazingly 50p and £1 really does add up!! This charming old man started chatting me up whilst we were trying to set it all up, telling us stories of the war and Japan etc ... I would have loved to hear more but we were so busy! He said 'how much for the lovely lady??' to which I replied ... 'Have you got a Mastercard?' 'Nope, do you take American Express?' 'Sorry no.' haha bless him!!

Also I have new hair!! Might post it later or tomorrow!

Have you sold at car boots? What was your best find??

Okay I'm not going to give anything away as it screens this weekend in UK ... let me know if you're into Twilight Saga too and we'll talk more when you've watched it!! Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob? I just love them both so much!!!

I also spent a litttttle (just a little) bit too much on shopping so will do a post on that shortly! Hope you all had a lovely weekend xxxx

Brighton ♥

I went to Brighton for the first time in the lovely weekend and I LOVE BRIGHTON!!



My bf reckons the sun helped and that I probably wouldnt want to be there in Winter! Nah, I still love all the cute shops & cafes, the beach & candy floss...




Love merry-go-rounds


Think I look pretty good in blonde hair hey



I found £3 on a deckchair so I bought the biggest fairy floss you've ever seen in your life!! yum yum!

What did you get up to in the weekend?

Ballet

On Saturday we got all glammed up and caught the last showing of Swan Lake at Royal Albert Hall. It was out.of.this.world kind of amazing!!!! I literally didn't breathe throughout it was SO amazing. Ahh I love it! We booked the tickets last year and got a box - it did make us feel very special!

Image from google

I used to do ballet when I was younger and got to pointe but have no idea why I didnt progress further!

The Royal Albert Hall is part of the fun! This is my second time there, still feels amazing! First time was in March? seeing Ludovico Einaudi. He's the most amazing classical composer, go check him out!


That's me second from right (the shortest one!).

I found the dress for £48 (originally £60) but when I got to the checkout it was £30! I love it when that happens!

Have you been to a ballet before and what's your favourite ballet? I can't wait to check out other ones now!

On another note, I found something VERY weird yesterday! I saw a rainbow reflection on a car like this:



But when I looked up, I couldn't see it!! And then eventually found it like this:


An upside down rainbow

How odd! I've never seen anything like it!!

Paris ♡

Went to Paris last weekend for the first time ever! I've always wanted to go with a boyfriend but my Mexican friend was there and I haven't seen her for two years so I booked tickets and went to see her there! It was great fun, met lots of really nice people & saw my French friend Mya too <3 Have to admit didn't see much of Paris though but being with people I love ... it was worth it.



Stayed at a friend's rooftop apartment near the Arc with Eiffel Tower view which was amazing!



Amazing weather & picnic at Versailles - loved it.



The 'kaka' effect - say kaka before taking a picture and you'll have a perfect laughing picture! Kaka also means shit in Spanish lol!


Grand entrance of the apartment



♥ Paola, Fernanda, Mya & I ♥


Mya & I found a genuine Japanese restaurant tucked away in the middle of Paris. We were so happy we could live our Japanese life once again temporarily ... ahh.




Stayed at another stranger's rooftop apartment with amazinger Eiffel Tower views - this is us climbing out on the roof for breakfast ... it was wow.

Everyone says the French are really rude but I came across the most amazing people ever!! Two Frenchies let us stay at their apartment even though I met them that day...also had 3 muffins FREE from Starbucks!! Starbucks!! Got talking to the captain guy who was serving us and he was so so nice and decided to give us free food lol :p

Have you been to Paris? If so what's your memory of Paris and what's your must see / must do??

Weekend

Don't you wish we have more bank holidays??

Mine was very exciting as I got to see a very good friend of mine who's from Mexico and the last time I saw her was two years ago when we left Japan. 8 of us who were in Japan together met up in Oxford, it was great as it was just like the good old days sat around together and talked for years.

Finally went punting - it was so much fun! (I went to uni in Oxford and never punted!). We then had dinner at Jamie Oliver restaurant - mmm yumyum!! The flash steak was AMAZINGGG. Have you ever dined at Jamie Oliver?

Saturday we went to Llangorse in Wales & it was so so beautiful!


On the way there


Llangorse Lake


Rowing on the lake



After that we rushed to pony trekking - it was so much fun riding! My horse was called India - how cute! Shame we couldn't bring our cameras. I really loved it so might take up some lessons! Hope you all had a lovely weekend, what did you get up to?
