Shop Dixi Jewellery

Shop Dixi, just like Black Tied, is a website that I've always wanted to buy from. I have no idea why its taken me so long to actually make a purchase but I have now and lets just say I'm in love with it.

I got was this beautiful ring, its one of their Unicorn Tear rings - this one was the cheaper one and I think I might have to go back and get another one. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to wear it, forefinger ring finger. I'm undecided. But it looks super pretty and as soon as I can figure out how to wear it then I'm sure I'll never take it off.

Black Tied Jewellery

For the longest time I've oohed and ahhed at Black Tied jewellery, I'd always put off buying anything from them. But recently I got a discount code and decided it would be rude not to take advantage of it.

One of the first things I saw was this really pretty and dainty textured bar necklace - how could I say no to it?  Pretty, simple and something I just had to have. It cost £18, and I think it is totally worth the money - the bar sits just below the in between part of my collar bones, the perfect length for me. Its sterling silver, so its made of pretty good stuff.

The next thing I got was this really pretty circle necklace, again its textured and I think it looks so lovely. The chain is slightly longer on this one, the chain is 22inches so it sits just around boob level. For £16 I think you're getting a lovely piece of jewellery that can be worn on almost any occasion. I think I'll wear this with pretty shirts or dresses - I've got it all mapped out, at least in my head I do.
I've already got a few more things I want to buy from them, and no doubt I'll make another order soon.

Have you bought from Black Tied before?

Lily King Jewellery

I schedule practically all of my posts a fair few days (if not weeks) in advance, this is both an annoyance and a god send for me. I love the writing of posts - but hate missing days for posting. So this post is probably going to be going up a fair while after I write this. But currently: its night time, I'm watching YouTube videos and I've not had dinner, but I wanted to write up a blog post - what I wanted to write about still hasn't quite come to me yet. I'm sure as I look round my room I'll come up with something.
The other day I noticed on twitter that Lily King was having a sale on. If you haven't been on the Lily King website then you are really missing out. I don't tend to wear jewellery, but this year I really want to wear more jewellery. So I bought what I think is maybe the more adorable necklace ever.

I snagged up this beauty for just a measly £5 - how cute is that!? The little gold cloud hangs just above the chest - if you want to see a picture of it on, you could have a look on my Instagram since there is a few on there. I ordered it on Wednesday night and it arrived on Saturday morning, so the delivery is super quick.
Along with the necklace, they kindly included a beautiful pair of gold earrings - such a lovely little gift! They are very simple but I think they will add a lot to an outfit without it being to much. Not only did they include the free earrings but they also gave me a discount code for the next order I place - I will definitely be ordering something from them again soon.

If you're looking for some really pretty pieces of jewellery you really should check out Lily King!

Not another sales haul | Urban Outfitters, FeelUnique.com

So I shopped the sales - again. This was all basically online things - so I did have to wait for this stuff to arrive. 
A couple of weeks ago I went to Urban Outfitters and the skirt I really wanted they didn't have in my size - so of course I had to go online and buy it there. But y'know it seems a waste to only buy one thing, so like any sane and reasonable person I picked up a few things. 

The skirt I got is this beautiful blue and green tartan print with flowers on it as well - I really love the zip detail on these skirts - I think I now have 3 or 4 skirts like this one. I just need to find some tops to wear with them. This skirt is in a small - gotta love UO sizing - and was £18 down from £35(I think).

I love Urban Outfitters jewellery, but it is rather expensive full priced - so what better time to get some than during a sale? This pack of 3 earrings was originally £10, but was reduced to about £4. They are quite cute, and simple. I don't wear earrings nearly enough so having these nice ones might encourage me to wear them more. The pack has silver v's, gold triangles and rose gold squares. 

I also got this ring from the site. I bought this ring thinking it was a midi ring - which I'm pretty sure the pictures on the website showed it as being, and got it in a S/M since I do have small fingers. It was around £3 in the sale so I thought the price was pretty good. When it arrived though it was huuuuge - they had sent me out a M/L! I'm hoping to get this exchanged for a smaller size - if not then I'll just get a refund. I unfortunately don't think I'll get a smaller one as their site is all sold out. 

When my new storage unit comes - this little guy is taking prime place on top of it. How cute is this owl tea light holder?! I spotted it months ago - but didn't fancy the £18 price tag that came with it. So when I saw it in the sale section of the website it took me all of about 2 seconds to add it to my basket. I believe he cost me £7-8 - still a little high - but it injects a little colour to my plain black and white room. I thought it would be a lot small than it actually is - its rather large.... 

Next up, Feel Unique. I went through their website quite a few times before finally finding a few things that I'd really love to try.

I didn't order much from Feel Unique since there wasn't really much that caught my eye - but two things did. The less exciting of the two being the Badger Sleep Balm - I really really struggle to fall asleep at night and I've wanted to try sleeping aids for awhile. So when I saw this I decided to give it a go - I had wanted to try things by This Works, but this was slightly cheaper so seemed the better starting point. It cost me £5.59 - in hindsight not a huge deal cheaper than the This Works set I could have got from Space NK - and there is just over 50g of product. It is a really thick balm, than melts slightly when you rub it. It smells quite nice, and does actually make me feel a bit tired for a few seconds after sniffing. They say "The soothing scent of Lavender and Bergamont will help you relax before sleep", they also suggest rubbing a thin layer under your nose, on the lips, on temples and any other pulse points. I'll let you know how I get on with this and if it does indeed help me fall asleep quicker. 

I finally caved in and bought myself the YSL Babydoll mascara - I think in a YouTube video a couple of weeks ago I said that I would never buy myself a high end mascara because of the price and the length of time they last. Well yeah, I lied.  This gift set, containing the mascara and their eye make-up remover cost less than the mascara on its own did. Being the logical person that I am - I decided that this was a massive bargain and therefore - after asking twitter about it, ofc - I must have it. It cost me a rather hefty £20.83 - next time I'll use my boots points I think. But I have been told it is worth every penny you pay and I can't wait to see how it works. 

Last up - not actually sale items but I felt I absolutely must include them. Its the L'Oreal #TXT styling sprays. I bought both ones that Morrisons stocked - I think there's another member of the #TXT family. I got the Volume Supersizing Spray and the Wave Creating Spray. Recently my hair has been a bit, bleugh and I've desperately wanted to do something to give a bit more life and va va voom. Hopefully these will help, I think the wave spray was about £1.80 and the volume one around £3.30.

Have you tried any of the products I mentioned?

Extra Christmas Presents

Again - not bragging. I didn't include these presents because I hadn't seen my dad till after Christmas so I didn't include them in the post. I thought I would do a really quick post because I'm really really grateful and in love with what I got from my dad.

 My dad was really generous and spoilt me and my brother a little. He got me a little Benefit kit, Justine Case - it contains sample sizes of Benetint, Californian Kissin', eyecon and some kind-a-gorgeous foundation. I also got some love to shop vouchers - £16 worth from my dads work. Chocolate coins and Cadbury Wishes - both of which have been finished. A Visconti purse, inside it was some money and a £5 Debenhams voucher - ideas on what I can spend my vouchers on would be much loved. The final thing I got was a necklace and earring set from Clear Crystals. 

I hope you don't mind this small post on what I got from my dad .
