GRAB A CUPPA & TAKE A PEW

. NEW THINGS .

. Brit-Stitch Half Pint Satchel in Poppy Red £70 c/o .

Well it’s the weekend again and so I’m kicking it off with a little ‘what’s going dowwnnnn post’ – a bit of this bit of that and generally some pretty pics of pretty things. Starting off with a couple of deliveries I received yesterday which excite me greatly.

This week I got sent probably my 2 favourite ever bags from designer Brit-Stitch … when I first got sight of their satchels I fell in love immediately. The bold colours and classic design were so up my street it was as if they were made for me (ha). I was super lucky to receive 2 of these incredible bags the red one above which is the Half Pint Satchel in Poppy Red but also a bigger electric blue satchel called the Milkman in Diver (here). If you’re a fan of the satchel or the likes of the Cambridge Satchel etc I would thoroughly recommend checking out these gorgeous bags – I am going to be living in these all Spring & Summer. Beauts.

. March Birchbox £10 c/o .

I used to buy beauty boxes back in the days when I first started my blog, if you’ve not heard of them before they’re effectively a monthly box filled with up to 10 beauty treats for you to try and test. They tend to cost about £10 and there’s a few companies that offer this service. They’re a super good way to try out new products and if you’re into beauty and skin care etc they’re a great monthly treat. Whilst I liked the delivery and the surprise each month, given i’m not a huge beauty or skin care queen I decided not to carry on receiving the boxes (the brand I was receiving kept including tonns of bath stuff which Didn’t thrill me). Anyway,  I’d never tried Birchbox and when I was offered the chance to review the box I was keen to see  what they had to offer. After seeing the Feb box I was really excited to see what  March would include  – they seemed a really good brand for makeup and quality brands which Is definitely what I’d be interested in seeing.

So when the March box arrived on my doorstep yesterday I was super chuffed to see the treats that were inside. And I must say, I was pretty chuffed. So listing them off you have the Laura Geller waterproof gel liner (probably my favourite item inside, I can’t wait to try this), Lindt Chocies (what could be better?), YuBe moisturiser (which I’d not tried before but must say is super hydrating and so far I’ve very impressed), RMK Cleansing Balm (I’ve not tried this yet, but it sounds like it’s a great makeup remover and RMK is a great quality brand), La Sultane De Saba moisturiser (this is a great travel size bag and so will be coming on hol with me next week), and then finally a couple of samples from The Sanctuary & Molton Brown. I don’t mind a couple of samples (generally more than 2 would be a bit cheap), but I’m looking forward to trying the Sanctuary masks as I LOVE The Sanctuary.

. Coast Neon Yellow Clutch £60  c/o .

The second thing to share is this gorgeous, unbelievably awesome neon yellow clutch from Coast – this item was another surprise delivery (i’m quite enjoying it I must say), and I was so excited when I saw the crazy colour. Clearly navy or the like, would be far more practical, but given spring is on the way and I’m going on holiday in about 8 days I thought this would be the perfect thing to take with my on holiday to spice up an evening out look.
