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...

Sun!!!

Image
So after having a gym membership for around six months, only using the facilities about three times, and therefore wasting A LOT of money, I decided to cancel my membership. However, since finishing uni a few weeks ago I have noticed that I have been doing less exercise (less walking to and from a million different buses, less dance classes and generally more eating of chocolate...) and decided to change this. So I grabbed one of my best friends and we took a drive down to Strathclyde Country Park. This is basically a big lake and as far as I have managed to work out the main walkways are around 4 miles in total. It is super pretty (see pictures below) and also it's FREE! It also means that we can have a good wee catch-up on the way round, so really there are no negatives. It has also been sunny recently in bonny old Scotland which makes a nice change and makes our walks a lot more pleasant. We have done this walk twice in the past fortnight and plan on carrying on. Hopefully we...

Review-Zara Office City Bag

Image
I realise that many people have this nag and that there are countless reviews on the internet but I thought I would give my take on it. I bought this bag at the start of the year-it was sold out in every store I went in to so I decided to get it online. It cost £49.99. I wouldn't normally spend this much on a bag-I tend to use one handbag all the time and I like to carry everything with me so they usually collapse on me after a couple of months-but I wanted to treat myself after working hard all winter and this bag has not given up yet. It has a few bits of wear and tear at the corners but I think that it understandable after all this time.  As I already mentioned, I like to carry everything with me. I need a Mary Poppins bag. Whenever anyone needs something, I am the girl to come to-fully stocked pencilcase-check, tissues-check, curbis and bobbles galore-check, lint roller...-check, so I like a lot of pockets to keep some resemblance of order. This bag fulfills all ...
