Birthday Haul!!

So I know this is a bit late but I was really happy with all my gifts and all of my finds so I want to share it with you all! I hope you all enjoyed your holidays as I did! 

Every year  I like to treat myself to a birthday gift and this year, I picked up this lovely Steve Madden  cross body bag from TkMaxx. It was on sale for £29.99. I chose this because of the casual style and the colour; I have been wearing a lot a grey coloured clothing so I figured I would buy a bag to match. 


I just had to pick up this socks from New Look, I love things like this. :)  I like to be different and I don't like sticking to your bog standard black or white socks.



I popped into La Senza while the hubby "patiently" waited outside and I saw this at the till and had to pick it up because it's sooo me lol I love the print and I love anything shiny!  :)  This was £9.00 reduced to £4.50.



This is my favourite perfume, 212 Sexy by Carolina Herrera, it has a sweet smell and I needed another so I bought this set from John Lewis, I loved the tin which I am now using on my dresser.


Just a simple TShirt from New Look, nice to pair with jeans, I have seen them in so many different colours and they are not badly priced either. Go check them out! 


Whenever I go to the Next sale, I usually only find one item which I LOVE and this is the one for this year. Reduced to £20 from £35 I loved it and picked it up in black and my sister in law gifted this one to me. :) They and long and super sparkly.


This was my Birthday cake made by my husbands grandma. It's my favourite as it's jammed packed with fruits and nuts!


This jumper was gifted to me and it's from Dash, I love it, It's super comfortable and flattering and I don't have anything of this colour.


Another Gift was this amazing piece I just adore how it looks on me because it doesn't make me look fat which a lot of them do. I must say it looks so much better in person than on camera. I'll be saving this for a special occasion. This is from Marks and Spencer. 


This was also gifted to me the mini perfume is too cute, the fragrance is grown up which I like.


Since getting a kitten I have felt the need to use room sprays as the smell can get a bit too much. so I bought these two for £2.00 each. The first one was from Marks and Spencer and was reduced from £7.50 which is a price I would never pay for. 


I also purchased another candle from Glade but this time I decided to remove the outer sticker, because I feel that it makes the candle look cheap. I left the sticker on the pink candle so that you can see the difference. They are both Glade candles which I purchased from Sainsburys and Wilko. The Chocolate has a nicer shape than the pink which will be nice to use after the candle is finished.
I think it is important when buying a candle, to choose a good jar with the intention of using it after for storing jewellery, makeup, perfume. 



This is an example of how I use my empty candle jars. This one is from Primark. I might add a cute ribbon around it to give it that special touch.
