Sophisticated?

Hey guys!

So today I went for brunch with a friend who's back from uni for the weekend. Brunch to me sounds sophisticated. But believe me, we are far from it ha! She's one of my fave girlies and eating food is a favourite hobby of ours. Best way to bond!

This furry hat/headband thing from Accessorize was included in my latest haul post, and I have to admit. It's the best thing I have bought in ages, I am in love with it! It's so warm and snug and will be worn constantly during this cold weather. I decided not to do an OOTD as the top and jewellery I am wearing have already been featured in a quite recent one. I woke up late and was in a rush to meet her so my makeup is quite natural. I decided to go with a nude lip and I am wearing a Benefit lipstick in the shade 'Lady's choice' and you can find it here.

Giraffe is quickly becoming one on my favourite places to eat in Bluewater. The breakfast and brunch menu is heavenly! I settled for eggs and bacon on sourdough toast and chunky wedges. Next time I am going to have the Brioche french toast with apple compote and Greek yoghurt. NOM!

Natalie decided on eggs and bacon on Foccacia. We had already covered our food in ketchup and such when I remembered I needed photos, so I apologise for the not so pretty food pictures!

I got so excited by Lola's cupcakes opening nearby (that and I stood gawping at the cakes for about 20 minutes) that I had to buy one. A good old Red velvet settled my cupcake craving.

I couldn't leave without buying something that wasn't food. I bought more clothes on Thursday so it was time for a beauty product of some kind. Essie won the battle and I went for Sexy divide and Jamaica me crazy on the 'buy one get one half price' offer that Boots has currently got going on. I'm excited to use these, I'll let you know my thoughts!

After a final chat over a Costa hot chocolate it was time to say goodbye again until Christmas :(. Have you ever been to Giraffe? What's your favourite menu item?

It's been at while...

It's about time I get to write another haul post...I've missed shopping! I haven't missed the queues in shops though. I had my first weekend off in quite a while, so I went to Bluewater with my mum to start looking for Christmas presents. Unfortunately, I mainly bought stuff for myself. Oopsie.

Is it just me that loves walking around with big bags?

I have been deciding which Real techniques brush to get next ever since I got the stippling brush, and yesterday I decided it was a good time to buy it. It's £13 from Boots, but they had a 'buy one, get the next half price' offer, so my mum got herself the blusher brush. I love the stippling brush, so I am excited to use this one too.

I have been looking for a new day to day bag for ages! Seen as my purse is purple, my colour options were limited but I love this one. I love that it has the brown handles, makes it even more versatile, and it was a bargain from Accessorize at only £22!

I tried this on as a joke but then my mum said it suited me. Plus it's really warm, so I couldn't resist. I'm excited to wear this over the Christmas season, eeek! Originally £16 from Accessorize but it had 20% off so for £12 I thought it was a pretty good buy.

Molton brown isn't normally the place I'd go to for my luxury bath products, the smells are generally to strong for me but I had a gift card for there so decided to make the most of it. I got the paradisiac pink pepperpod set to share with my mum and sister as well as the vitamin lipsaver. I'm hoping the lipsaver works well because I get really bad dry lips during the winter. I also got a bath oil for my boyfriends mum for Christmas, but it's already gift wrapped and I didn't want to undo it.

For spending over £70 I got given 5 travel tubes and a couple of mini bath and shower oils. These will make brilliant extras for Christmas presents.

All in all I think it was quite a successful trip!
