Summer Wishlist


I am lucky enough to be going on lots of lovely travels this summer, some are for work and some are just for holidays but I think I'll just need to treat myself a little (if I have any money left that is :p) so here are a few things I would love to be packing in my suitcase!

Charleston Dress, £25, Asda

I love the 1920s trend that is about just now due to 'The Great Gatsby' film. It is possibly my favourite era and I think this dress from Asda (yes, Asda the supermarket made this dress! Amazing!) is just perfect. I am going to Italy with my lovely choir and think this would just be lovely to wear with some little heels to stroll about beside the lakes.
Brow Kit, £8.49, Sleek
I am just about to run out of my brow pencil (I've been using Soap and Glory's Arc De Triumph for ages now and I do love it but I want to try something new), and I really think that keeping your eyebrows tidy, as annoying as that can be, is really important, as it helps to frame your face.

Cat Dust Plug, £2.77, Etsy

Frappuccino Dust Plug, £2.58, Etsy

I don't know why I need a dust plug for my phone. I've never really had a problem with dust in my headphone bit before, but I was browsing Etsy (I love that website!) and decided I needed one. And I couldn't decide between these two. Who wouldn't want a wee cat staring at them, and it's ginger like me! (Ok, I'm not a real ginger, a dye my hair this colour...) and I love Mango and Passionfruit frappuccinos! They are one of my favourite things in the world.

Polka Dot Denim Cut Out Shirt Dress, £15, Primark
All our shopping dreams have come true. Primark is now available online (at ASOS to be precise). The annoying thing about Primark has always been that you cannot view their products online, meaning that you have to watch hauls or actually go into the store to see what they had in (first world problem...). However, a small selection of their goods are now available online. Yippee! I think this dress is so cute and would look adorable for walking about in when I go to LA. I love the cut out details but I'm not sure how this will look on my pale body...

Pink Celeste Satchel, £49.99, Steve Madden @ New Look
I was pleasantly surprised to see Steve Madden being stocked in New Look and was also surprised at what good value his things were. I think this little bag is so cute and has enough compartments for me (I like my pockets!). I'm trying to use a smaller bag for summer as I am currently carrying around the Zara City Office Bag which I love but it doesn't really help my bad back! This one looks roomy enough to carry around everything I would need for the day whilst on holiday.
Straw Flower Beekeeper Hat, £22, Topshop

I love this hat. I have tried it on in store and it actually suits me-not many hats do! It is so adorable and summery and would be perfect to wear at festivals.

Love from,

Gluten Free Review: Bodach's kitchen

Image
I've said this before but it's been a while. Lots has happened since my last post which I'll maybe do a wee update post about, but today I'm here to talk about where I went for lunch today. Living in Corona times the most exciting thing you can possibly do is go for a walk and get a takeaway lunch, and today was an exciting day. After a short walk around Kelvingrove park and down Byres Road we stopped at unassuming little hole in the wall with a long queue outside which is always a good sign. The queue went down quickly and there was some cute dogs in front of us (bonus!). The staff were absolutely lovely. When asking about gluten free options they offered to make me a sandwich from scratch but I instead went for the soup and some bread and butter (not toasted so looks like they always have some fresh bread ready to go). I also got a hot apple cider (not as sweet as I expected it to be but still delicious) and the last slice of gf millionaires shortbread!  My sister got

Fräulein 38 makeup brushes review

Image
   Apologies yet again for the lack of blog posts. I am the worst blogger ever. I try and stick to a schedule of uploading every Monday but sometimes life gets in the way. I bought the Fräulein 38 24 piece starter brushes set about 2 years ago. I don't even remember what I used before then but it was probably just a mixture of random brushes collected over the years. However, I ended up buying these as I was about to participate in an amateur production of 'Little Shop of Horrors' and knew that, judging on our past show where I ended up doing the majority of the male casts makeup, I would probably need more/new brushes. After searching about for a cheap brush set I came across these. I believe I bought them from Amazon or a similar retailer as I don't remember the brand having their own website at the time. Picture taken from the Fräulein 38 website as I am silly and decided to wash my brushes therefore they look all soggy and not very attractive just now.

Bath and Body Works-Mahogany Teakwood

Image
Unfortunately for all of us living in the UK, we do not have a Bath and Body Works store. (Or perhaps it's a good thing as if we did I would have no money but lots and lots of candles...)  So, when I was in the states I had to pick up a few wee goodies. I made a trip to the Westfield San Francisco and when I saw Bath and Bodyworks, I grabbed a basket and ran around like a small child in a sweetie store.  At the top of my list were these candles. I had heard that these smelt like Abercrombie Fierce (the lovely scent which you can smell when you walk into an Abercrombie and Fitch) and that is most certainly true. Unfortunately, the bigger candles were too heavy to bring home so I got the three minis instead.  I have started burning one, and it is lasting fairly well. Also, it is really easy to light. (For some reason it takes me many attempts to light some of my other candles.)  Walking into my room now fills me with great joy every time.  Love, Fi x
