Easter excitement!!




I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Sunday! 
Easter is the best day ever simply because you can munch on chocolate all day long and no one can judge you!!
I had a great easter egg hunt this year and was absolutely thrilled with my eggs...who says 20 is too old to have easter egg hunts....

ALTHOUGH
A dream easter present that has been on my wish-list for sometime would be...


The Mulberry Satchel


My top favourite: The Alexa in oak soft buffalo.
Although unfortunately coming to just under £1000, that one might have to wait till I'm much MUCH richer.

Another present that would always be welcome, whether it's christmas, easter, valentine's day or just a standard Friday night is this boy... the GORGEOUS Tom Daley, olympic diver for GB.


COOORRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

What's in my bag?




This is the handbag I used today, it's actually my sister's black snakeskin handbag from last season Zara. It is the PERFECT size and fits everything I need (even my laptop) whilst still looking smart and ultra fashionable. I think it was around £70 but I'm not too sure, whatever it cost, it's definitely worth it!

Here's what I have in it....


clockwise from the top left:
Tory Burch coral make up bag
Wrigley's double-mint gum
Young person's railcard
Oyster card (I'm in London a lot)
Louis Vuitton peach patent purse
Accessorise diamante earrings
Pink Filofax
Apple MAC (either to work on the go or to to watch gossip girl)
Blackberry Bold (never leaves my hand)
Lumix purple camera (for documenting all my experiences)
Black studded topshop pumps (I tend to carry pumps incase I get tired of walking in heels)
House and work keys (on a massive keyring as I am very good at losing things)
More magazine (I am an obsessed More reader)
Jack Wills christmas mittens (as I live in London, the coldest place in the world)
Empty twirl bites wrapper (I ALWAYS have chocolate wrappers in my handbags, usually its Reece's wrappers - just any chocolate that goes with a cup of tea!)
Gucci Premiere perfume



My blackberry is an extension of my arm and whenever I lose it/ leave it anywhere, (which is often), I have no idea what's going on or where I'm going.

This is the current make up collection that is in the Tory Burch make up bag in my handbag.....

(Five sparkly stars to this product for flawlessly covering all of my spots and blemishes and for making me look awake and well slept when I was exhausted by getting rid of my dark circles!)

Kiehl's 'Creme de Corps'
(When my sister was working at London Fashion Week, she picked me up lots of testers of Kiehl's 'Creme de Corps', I only have the 30ml bottles but they are a revelation and they were free. WIN.)


This isn't by any means all of my make up collection, just the make up I carry around with me on a day to day basis to make sure I'm looking my best just incase it's the day I bump into Tom Daley or Zac Efron. You never know...

I hope you all enjoyed my 'What's in my handbag' 
I'd love to see what's in your handbags and make up bags!!

Your girlies are forever.

'Friends are like a good bra...supportive, hard to find and ALWAYS close to your heart.'

The 'chicks before dicks' concept is one that I have always supported. Relationships will come and go but good friends are in it for the long haul, so get behind your girlies and make sure you have each other's backs because when you need them, they'll be there.

The night before valentine's day, my best friend spent hours cooking me a beetroot and goats cheese risotto in the shape of a heart just incase my boyfriend (who is not a fan of the wonderful day) didn't spoil me!
MAJOR FRIEND POINTS.


He actually did end up spoiling me whisking me off to a wonderful tapas bar in Norwich (where we both go to university) and treating me to a delicious meal with a very romantic shared pudding of a hot chocolate and warm churros.
It was the perfect valentine's day despite the fact that I had to limp home due to the huge amount of food that I had eaten!!!

BUT the night was so much better knowing that my best girly had my back and that if anything went wrong she would take me home and feed me leftover risotto and LOTS of galaxy.
