Anti-theft lunch bags

I found this clever, funny and gross at the same time.

Keep your lunch inside one of these plastic bags, and it will deter your hungry co-workers from stealing your lunch. But I'm guessing it won't help raise your popularity when they see you taking it to your desk to eat. 

They are currently £6 for 25 bags down from £12, which is still too much in my opinion. I'd rather buy a cheap insulated bag and keep it in my bag or on my desk.

What do you think?

S is for Saturday and Shopping

Yes I know it is Sunday today, not Saturday. But I had such a long and tiring day yesterday. I came home with aching legs, feet and back. I had spent so many hours out shopping, with only a small white mocha and two toffee muffins to keep me from fainting. So I didn't have the brain power to write anything. I could've written something but it wouldn't have made sense at all.

After waiting in the rain outside M&S, as it was closed along with a few other stores because of a fire, under my mother's command (yes, she's to blame for my shopoholism), I rushed in and started rummaging through their sale items. There wasn't a lot of nice things :( but I did find two tops and a cute skirt for only £5 each.

I don't have any pictures right now so I will try my best to describe them. The tops are both a little long - one is mid-thigh and the other a little shorter. They're both long sleeved, batwing style. The grey one has a loose turtle neck and the black one has an even wider turtle neck, which can also be worn off the shoulder (either one shoulder or both).

Like any long top, they both look best with skinny jeans or leggings/ jeggings. I don't like most jeggings I have seen because they look too cheap; they are just leggings material with a denim look. But I have seen better quality jeggings which are simply very tight stretchy jeans with an elastic waist - just like skinny jeans but with a tighter fit. They also look good with no trousers as they're both long enough to be worn as dresses. They have a casual, sporty feel to them but I prefer to glam them up with statement jewellery.

The skirt was a purple body con one and fits so well. I can't wait to wear it with my bright pink platform heels and maybe get a bright pink flower for my hair.

I also bought some cute heart shaped cookie cutters (I <3 cookies!) for only £2 for two! I found some butterfly ones online for only £3.50 for a set of three, which I need to hunt down. That's what I love about Marks and Spencer. You can get good quality items no matter your budget and there's a line for everyone!

Even the cosmetics are very cheap. I found some nail polishes in soft pastel purple, pink and mint to name a few. For just £2.50 each! Or you can get 4 minis for £5 or a french manicure set for the same price. They also have small eyeshadow palettes of bright summery colours as well as darker ones for just £5! But I have waaaay enough make up as it is so I had to force myself to walk away.

Remember the shoes I told you I was gonna get from Debenhams? Well I went back and got them. They look too precious to walk in the streets in. I just want to place them in a glass box and admire them.

I hope you all had a great weekend!

Did you buy anything nice?

Vintage frames

Do you remember the blue photo frame I bought two weeks ago? I am so in love with it so I was so excited when I found it in hot pink! Once again I'm not too happy with how the colour came out! >:(

(£14.99)

I also another hot pink one in a smaller size

(£7.99)

This frame is just adorable! It's cute and tiny just like its price.

(£3.99)

There are lots of vinatagey frames at TKMaxx but sadly (well, luckily for you), as much as I'd want to, I can't buy them all.

Shopping!

I was so tired last night to let you know all about the exhausting, yet very fun, shopping that I did after watching Alice in Wonderland. So here it is...

Boots currently have 1/3 off Soap and Glory, as well as other branded toiletries, so I bought their mini Hand Food, which is a non-greasy hand cream with shea butter, macadamia oil and marshmallows (yummy!), and the mini Righteous Body Butter, which is a body cream with softening shea butter and aloe vera.

I also bought Frozen Lotion by Too Faced. This is a cooling, moisturising body mousse with shimmer - perfect for the summer. It is unavailable to purchase from Boots.com so if you can't find it at your local Boots, you can get it from HQHair.com. Keep your eyes peeled for reviews on all these products.

Now check out this baby!

These patent pink platform heels (£38) are from Dorothy Perkins. As soon as I put these babies on, I automatically feel like a Barbie doll! Teamed with either pale pink or hot pink lips and nails, they look cute with many different colours and patterns. I look forward to wearing them with my black and white dogstooth dress.

After purchasing a Mother's Day card for my mother, I went to TKMaxx to look for a gift. Let me advise you to get the Mother's Day shopping done asap before the last minute shopping rush next Saturday. I couldn't find a gift for her but I did find some for me ;)

Oggi stainless steel sports bottles are currently on clearance for £4. These are much more economic than having to purchase a cold drink everyday when I am out and much more hygienic than reusing plastic bottles.

I also bought a beautiful collage picture frame (£14.99) that fits six 4 x 6 photos and two 6 x 4 photos in its beautiful blue frame. Some of the photo slots in this Wild Baroque by Sheffield Homes photo frame are so beautifully decorated and compliment the frame so well that they don't need to be filled. I've had a long look on the Internet for stockists but I couldn't find any. I did find out that the company is owned by Enchante Accessories in New York so it might be useful to contact them if you can't find the frame at your local TKMaxx.

Here is the pretty picture frame. It is actually an electric blue colour, not green.

And this is a close up of the corner of the frame. Isn't the pattern really pretty?

I came across some Cristal D'Arques crystal glasses (£16.99 for a set of 4), which are now back in stock in a wide range of colours. I was tempted to buy some more but I already have a total of 20 glasses! I am loving the candy dishes and candle holders on their website.

The last thing I bought was a large 29'' x 41'' mirror for £24.99. I love the silver frame and at only £24.99, I had to buy it even though it meant carrying it home with me. So many thanks to my friend Sarah, my mum and my little bro for helping me carry it :)

"Hello there!" Me in the mighty mirror.

The close up

So now that I've spoiled myself silly, I need to go out soon to buy my mum a prsent for Mother's day. Watch out for my post on Mother's day gifts very soon. If you have any gift ideas, please share!

Take care!
