Primark pick ups!


I picked this up from Primark in Meadowhall. How could I not?! I mean... look at it! I absolutely adore these branded t-shirts that Primark get in. I always check out the womens and mens sections because they have some awesome shirts, including Despicable Me, Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad etc. This one, however, features Homer Simpsons chowing down on a doughnut. I love the effect of this t-shirt and at £6 it's a complete steal!

Here's a t-shirt that I picked up from the mens section. I saw the pattern and thought that it was so 'me''. It features these pinky, purpley, bluey paint splatters all over it. This was only £4. Bargain.

Boux Avenue


Boux Avenue is a gorgeous boutique style lingerie shop that has several stores located all over the UK, as well as selling their wears online. You may very well know of the owner of Boux Avenue from Dragon's Den. Yes, Theo Paphitis.
If you get a chance to go into one of their stores I highly recommend it! Firstly, let's start with the smell. Without fail it smells amazing. The goods are set out beautifully and the staff always seem happy to help. Think along the lines of Victoria's Secret, but one of the things that makes Boux Avenue stand out is the fact it stocks bigger bra sizes! Yes, some bras go up to a size 40G! Praise the lingerie lord!

Here are a few things I adore -
I've had a couple of these bra's in the past and I have to say that I love them. They fit me perfectly in my size and isn't the design just darling? They have beautiful lace pattern with bows in the middle and on the straps. I regularly find it difficult to find bras that don't make my boobs look an odd shape, but with this bra, I never had that problem. Available in a load of colours... Well made too!

 These are the shorts that go along with the Chloe bra. When I received these they were on offer where you could buy the bra & shorts for only £25! Bargain! These shorts are rather see-through, but they are so pretty. They also stock thongs if that's more your thing!

I'm all for comfort and you cannot get more comfortable than microfibre. These knickers are SO SOFT. They're a soft pink colour which is very pretty. Again, you can get different colours & thongs.

This wonderful little hand cream features one of the wonderful smells you're greeted with whenever you go into a Boux Avenue shop. I'm glad they made this scent into a hand cream because I'm a hand cream junkie! You only need to use a tiny amount too. Thumbs up.


This hot water bottle is just precious!! It's not too big, which is great and it looks like it's weird a little cricket jumper haha. I love it.


You can buy all these items at BouxAvenue.com or you can visit one of their stores in person.

Collect London Owl Vest - As Seen on Aiden Grimshaw

When I saw Aiden on the cover of GT Magazine I initially couldn't look away from his pretty face, but then I paid attention to what he was wearing and tell a little bit in love with his vest. I did some searching around and found that it is from Collect London. They only print a certain amount of garments with that design and when I ordered a couple of days ago there were 13 prints left and the last time I checked there were 2 left. I bet it's all down to Aiden and all his Grimlings!

What I'll be getting from the Beth Ditto collection.

So, what is everyone getting from the Beth Ditto at Evans collection? I keep looking online at the collection and it's making me edgy, but I need to wait until it comes into stores on Thursday so I can try the items I want on and get my discount. Woot!

I did this down in London for Evans:


And was offered the chance to get some of the collection for free. I feel so lucky so here are the items that I picked -


Aren't they beautiful? I can't wait to receive them. If the last collection is anything to go by then I'll be getting loads of questions about what I'm wearing when I'm out and about.

Here are the other things that I'll probably be buying then the collection comes into stores on Thursday...


This belt is certainly one of the highlights of the collection. It's soooo pretty.


This polka dot t-shirt is a simple and pretty item. I'm a sucker for polka dots.


I wasn't blown over by this when I saw it, but on the promo pic of Beth in this dress, it completely blew me away. I adore it and it must be mine!


This polka dot dress is beautiful. There is nothing more that needs to be said. Beautiful.

and finally...

These boots are the prettiest boots I've ever seen. I generally cannot walk in heels AT ALL, but I think I might be willing to try for these.

Beth Ditto At Evans Preview



Hi everyone!
As many of you are probably aware, I was invited to London by Evans Clothing to preview the brand new Beth Ditto collection. It's her second collection for the brand and I simply couldn't say no.
The day didn't get off to the best start because my train was 42 minutes late, but thankfully everything seemed to go smoothly from there.
My mother and I got a little lost on our way to the studio, but a wonderful man named Jeremy came to save us!
Once at the studio the new Beth Ditto collection was laid out over a massive table. I really don't know where to look first! There was so many items I just couldn't take it all in at first. There are so many beautiful prints and colours. I think this new collection is actually more wearable than the last one, which I think is wonderful because although I adored the last collection, I can see why some people might not. Beth's second collection involved polka dots, hearts, lightning bolts, flowers and other things that I'm probably forgetting. It's beautiful, well made and captures the essence of Beth perfectly.
I was asked to make a video for them in the same style that I do at home and I hope that it turned out alright for them. Fingers crossed.

The collection gets two massive thumbs up from me. The collection lanches on Friday so be sure to check it out!

Here are just a couple of the promo photos...


Here's a photo of me with the wonderful people who helped make all this happen today:

L-R: Jeremy, Lindsay, Me & Chanj. (And thanks to Nikki & Sophia too. Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet the both of you!)

And now for some more photos from London :)









And the promo items that I received-
