George at Asda at it again! ♥

Bonjourno! I thought I would do another little fashion-like post, because I don't do them too often or very much at all really, but I went into Asda and was pretty excited about all the lovely stuff in there!

I have previously done a blog post on Asda gear, they tend to go through fits and starts of great and not so great ranges, however I am totally thumbing up the current stock. 

I instantly fell in love with this Giraffe jumper! It's so cute, and I would have got it but we have just booked a holiday for 2 weeks time so I need to save the pennies! But if I can gather up twelve quid when I return, this shall make it's new home in my wardrobe. 

I feel so shifty when I take photo's in Asda, I feel like all the cameras must be watching me and some big security guard is going to tell me off. I have the story all planned out if that happened that my Mom happens to love Giraffes so I was sending her a picture of this jumper, you know, so actually I might be taking a photo but it's free advertising and I could be getting £12.00 profit for you and blah blah blah...Convincing, no?

These are cute little bags too, I particularly like the coral coloured one, and I think these were £6.00.

Jazzy aztec monochrome leggings, which would actually look pretty cool with the orange top above them on the hanger.

I totally love both of these! The shirt is super cute with all it's little palm trees and cars on. It's also longer at the back which I love, gotta keep that big booty covered, no one needs to see that! And the blazer is amazing too, although I don't know if the horizontal stripe would be very complimentary on a curvy ladeh like me! Colours are lovely though!

Aztec leggings in crazy colours! Only £9.00 too.

I thought these were really pretty wedges that they had. They would be great for holiday or if we ever manage to see the sun over here. I often find with Asda shoes, there is only the odd pair that are really nice out of their range at any one time, and these happen to be it. I think they were about £12.00.

I love this oatmeal coloured tassle cardigan. I thought it would be a nice 'shove-on' for holiday, or over shorts and a strappy top with some jazzy sandals. It could really spruce up an outfit for £12.00!

Cute leopard print bag, for nights out or dinners out. I do love a good bit of leopard print, especially for six quid.

AND great news! Asda now stock Yankee Candles!! It is a limited range of course, but they also do their own scented wax burners for £5.00, that fit the Yankee tartlet samples in. We got some in Vanilla frosting, Soft Linen (I think that's what it's called) and then Asda's own Vanilla. They are lovely and the Yankee Vanilla Frosting is amazingly sickly sweet, which I totally love! Just kinda wish it was edible.

So there we go, a little looksy into what's about in Asda at the moment. Definitely worth checking out, there are bargains to be had yet again! 

Ciao for now xXx

Weekend Antics ♥

Hi Peeps. Good weekend? I hope so, and that everyone was out enjoying the sun! My weekend posts are increasing because I have no money at the moment to buy beauty products *sob sob*, so for today this will have to do. I might do some make up collection posts over the next few days to keep going until I get some more bits and bobs.

Firstly, on Friday we went up to the Lake District to go and look round our chosen venue for our wedding, and put the deposit down. We had a tour and the wedding co-ordinator was so helpful and answered every question I needed to know. We like it just as much - if not more than when we went before, and so we put the deposit down. So after nearly eight years more or less, it's finally been done and it's all officially booked! Yay! I'm so excited and can't wait to see what the next 23 months bring.

Quick picture taken while we were on the road, but you can see why we have chosen to get married 150 miles away!

In Kendal, the main town near the hotel, there was a little Owl display on. I've never been up close to any before really, and didn't realise how tame they were! They are so cute, look at the eyes on this fella though, wouldn't upset him would you? I didn't believe he was even real at first but he sure is!

On the Sunday, it was a great day weather wise so we decided to go for a picnic in the park. We don't get to do things like that very often because work and things, so we jumped at the chance. We packed a load of healthy goodies and went and lay out in the sun. It was tres romantique and Ed even fell asleep, snores and all bless him.

At the picnic. I've given Ed a squishy eye, haha!

We then took a quick trip to Ikea, because we needed a wardrobe and a bin, but we came out with everything but. Instead we got these nice plant pots to hang on our balcony, and then an outdoor table and chairs to be able to eat outside when the weather is ever nice. It looks much nicer out there now.

So that was my weekend really! Did you get up to anything nice? I always like to hear!

Ciao for now XxX

George at ASDA ♥

Hellooo! Just a really quick post just to say how nice are the clothes in George at Asda at the moment?! This always typically happens when I'm skint as well, sods law much? 

I just thought I would take a few pictures just to show you what I saw, and George's clothes are always good prices too, so I am a big fan of their bargains when they have good stuff like this out!

These are some coloured skinny jeans, I love the turquoise and pastel lilac!

I really adore this scarf print top on the right, lovely pastel colours with the scarf detailing, and in the sheer material. A steal at £8!

I shall definitely be getting this cream tank jumper with gold crosses on when I have more dough! It is so nice, and long enough for leggings! Win win! Also, this printed skirt and leggings underneath that you can just about see, really remind me of the Versace for H&M leggings.

They are doing some lovely nail wraps too at the minute. I am actually a nail wrap virgin! I have yet to try them as I suppose I am worried about messing them up, but I have got some union jack ones for a fancy dress party coming up, so I will let you know how I get on. I particularly like the strawberries and the multicoloured aztec looking ones here!

Finally, this was the only top I got, Ed was kind enough to treat me to it as the Beauty UK show  has made me brasso - when will I ever learn. But still, it is such a cute top with eyelashes and lipstick on, which I thought was perfect for a make up nut like me! It is a normal T-shirt so I got it in a supermassive size so I can wear it with leggings. Cool beans.

So here ends my little George post, hope it gave you an idea of the nice things that are about in there at the moment. Definitely worth going and having a little gander!

Ciao for now XxX

Trip to Cyprus ♥

Greetings! I Hope you are doing diddly dandy! What a week. I am going to have to split it into two posts so as not to bore you! I will warn you that these are going to be picture heavy, but I like to look at pictures so you might do too. Firstly I am going to waffle on to you about our holiday to Cyprus. Not to make you well-jel or anything...but just to share our experience! 

This is a little picture of the make up and nails I did for the journey! I went for a coral look, especially as coral nails look fab when you have a bit of a tan! So this is Models own nail polish in Tropical Sun...I think it  is called, available at boots. Eyebrows are MUA matte brown in shade 19, available in Superdrug, and my lips are a number 17 lipstick, in lasting fix Hot Chilli. It really does last quite well, and they aren't too expensive! One of my favourite corals.

Waiting to board the plane, I grabbed these amazing sunnies from Claires at the airport, they are a great match for my hair! Also, Monarch give you these fit to fly tags for your hand luggage! Me likey. I also forgot to mention I got full body searched through security, as I always do, because I have ears full of metal with 9 piercings, 2 in my belly and then I had a big chain necklace on and set the bleepers off =/  I am an idiot. I just walk through with my arms out ready now!

On our plane, a woman decided to neck back neat vodka from a bottle she bought at the Duty Free. As you can imagine, always fun when you are confined at 30,000 feet. She kicked off and luckily we were at the back of the plane, but she ended up punching a passenger and pulling an air hostess' hair! We had to wait for the police to arrive when we landed before we got off the plane. This was about 11pm. Then, we had a transfer from the airport to our hotel in a little minibus, which to our suprise, also was to carry the drunk woman to her hotel. Unfortunately, Mr Cypriot minibus driver didn't believe us, and so didn't leave the airport until an hour later without her.

At 12.30am, we arrived at our apartments. We checked in, got our keys and headed up. It looked a nice enough place, until we went in. Long story short, electrical wires over the floor, bathroom full of dust and grime, unsafe cooking equipment, and last but not least a smoke alarm which intermittently bleeped every 10 seconds. You pay all that money and get all these extras for free! Hmm...not extras we would prefer to be honest. So after trying to fight the annoyance of the smoke alarm, we gave up, packed up and headed to reception to ask for a room move. They moved us to the one underneath, which was exactly the same but you could hear even more bleeps down the corridor! We just couldn't stand it, so at now 1am, we ventured to the hotel next door which was a large complex, as our reception had locked up and gone home! So no security either!

The manager at the new hotel gave us a lovely room with a view, so we went and took our cases, unfortunately had to pay for a whole other week, but at least we were happy. We checked out of the rubbish one the next day! This is what we could see from our window now. =)

Just a little poster that amused me...

The first day was sunny and overcast so I didn't think I needed any sun cream...I was incorrect.

It was pretty rainy for a couple of days then it brightened up towards the end of the week, so it was cocktails all round!

As it was easter when we went, they had these huge plastic bunnies and eggs all around the roads! Very different to the UK!

A Praying Mantis. I don't think I had seen one before, but someone had trodden on his leg =( poor thing, so I was trying to help him into some safer bushes. Good deed for the day!

Ed and his mammoth Pitta Kebab!

One of the nights out to eat. Liner is the usual Fluidline in blacktrack from MAC, and the lipstick is the MAC Chenman range in Force of Love, with matching Lipglass.

Finally, I gathered up the guts to Parasail while I was there! It was a great experience, really relaxing actually! Just gliding smoothly over the sea as you do! I was a bit hesitant and nervous at first, but my inner adrenaline junkie always gets the better of me, and I am really glad it does. Experiences like this make me feel glad I am alive!

Which gracefully brings me on to my next blog which shall be up very soon, about my Skydive!!!

Thanks for reading guys, sorry for the waffle!

Ciao for now XxXx
