payday treats...

hello! i thought i'd share with you all a few things i've treated myself too with it being payday on friday. every month i love to treat myself to new things and i haven't really bought myself new clothes for a while so i thought i'd get myself some new wintery pieces. 

the first thing that caught my eye was this dress on the boohoo website. i'm not usually too keen on the whole 'tartan' trend apart from my tartan scarf, but i absolutely love this dress and can't wait for it to arrive so i can wear it everywhere! i think it'll look super cute paired with thick tights, some ankle socks and my winter boots with a chunky necklace or scarf. it was £18 which i think will definitely be worth it.

the next thing i bought was this jumper, also from the boohoo website. i've been after a slightly oversized, cosy jumper like this for a while now but have always refused to pay the price for one. then i found this one for just £15 so immediately snapped it up as others i'd been looking at from the likes of topshop/river island etc were double the price! i think this will look really nice paired with skinny jeans and converse and will be great for layering and keeping me warm over the next few months!

i spotted this necklace in my 'you may also like' section on the boohoo website and it was only £8 so i thought 'why not?' this will go with just about any outfit i think and i love that it's chunky but not overly so which is something i hate with jewellery at the moment! 

lastly from the boohoo site i got this chunky knit scarf for £10. i have one quite like this but in a mustard yellow colour which i've worn for a few years now and it's all stretched and in need of a good replacement. i liked this one as it's pretty thick and warm looking and it is quite long which is something i prefer in a scarf. i am definitely looking forward to wrapping up in this over the coming months!

the final thing i bought was from asos. i am in need of a new pair of blue denim jeans as my pair from topshop are stained and i just can't get the mark out - so annoying considering i've not long had them! i'm so clumsy. i've never really tried any other jeans apart from topshops, but looking at these, which are the 'ridley petite jeans' on asos i'm pretty sure i'm going to like them just as much, or even more than my beloved topshop ones! i paid £30 for these which i think is pretty decent for jeans - hopefully they will fit okay. fingers crossed!

have you bought any nice treats for yourselves lately?

it's beginning to look a lot like christmas!

there is nothing better than coming home from a bad few days at work, having a super hot shower, making a cup of tea and then curling up in bed with a movie on. i’m watching the notebook (yes, cringe but it's so cute) and then i’m gonna try and get some sleep. tomorrow i have a driving lesson and am going to try and pop down to the hairdressers to see what they can do about my hair (i'm wanting to go slightly lighter and more my natural colour). i kind of just want tomorrow to go really quick because on thursday i'm going for a cinema date and then going for a look round town at all of the christmas stuff in the shops which i haven't had a chance to do yet - i'm so excited haha... i turn in to such a child over the run up to christmas.

have you started getting excited for christmas yet? what's your favourite thing about this time of year? i think my favourite thing has got to be wrapping up warm when it's snowing outside, hot chocolates, all the classic old christmas songs being played everywhere, decorating the christmas tree and buying loads of presents for those close to me!
