A prize and a mini haul!

Recently Little Miss Delicious has been fundraising for the Brain Tumour Charity and part of that fundraising included a raffle, with so many goodies donated from a lot of amazing independant companies. I bought a few tickets and was so excited when I found out I had won one of the prize bundles! I never win competitions or raffles, so to be a part of something like this, and to win, was awesome.

As ever, with everything Maxine sends out, it arrived adorably packaged and with a cute handwritten note.

All the goodies!

I love cross-stitch! This was donated by Anbhz

Unicorn brooch from Janine Basil (who I am a big fan of, and who doesn't love unicorns!)

Ice cream brooch by Little Miss Delicious

Purse - unknown, so sorry!

Heart necklace is VelvetVolcano

Rose ring by MustDestroy Jewellery

Hair bow by Beauxoxo

Headband from Julie & The Knits - unfortunately I am allergic to wool, but I know someone who will love it.

How amazing is this prize? I am so proud of Maxine, and so pleased to see her be able to raise so much money for a cause that means so much to her. On the same day this package arrived, I also got a parcel from ASOS, yay!

ASOS Curve Cat Waist Belt £12

New Look Burger Clutch Bag £9.99

I am fully aware that this clutch bag is totally ridiculous. But I love it and had to have it!

Alice & You Denim Pinafore Dress £32

I kind of fell in love with this dress when I saw it on the ASOS website. I've been chasing a cute pinafore dress for soooo long and none have suited me, so I have my fingers crossed that this one would! It is black denim and so soft, it's lovely. It's in and out of stock so quickly, so if you see it in stock and want it, get it quick! However, on me, this looked and fitted so badly. The shoulder straps are non-adjustable and were way too long (and I'm 5ft11!), and it just clung in all the wrong places. Back it has gone and the hunt for a pinafore dress is still on.

Much love,

August Favourites

My favourites this month are new goodies, and new experiences! I'm trying to keep it as a bit of a mix so it's more interesting :)

First up, a new experience....

Offroading! I went offroading for the first time and had SO MUCH FUN. I'm not normally much of a daredevil, I get very anxious, but for some reason when it came to offroading, I got all overly enthusiastic and didn't even freak out when I drove into water that was maaaaybe a teensy bit too deep for the truck. I will definitely be going again! Thank you to my little bro for inviting me.

Some of you may know that I suffer with chronic pain. Basically, I have a headache, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and have done for 5 years. This means I can't wear my hair up, sunglasses can be hugely painful, and headbands are a no no. Not any more they aren't! Thanks to Janine Basil and her adorable wired headbands, I can wear one with no issues whatsoever, I have another on order and will be asking for some for Christmas. Yes I am totally already thinking about Christmas.

I broke my old phone case, which featured Lumpy Space Princess. That was totally unacceptable and therefore inspired my new case featuring my other favourite Adventure Time character, Lemongrab!

Thanks again to Depop, I got this Boo necklace from Sugar & Vice, perfect for Halloween. Which I like to think of as everyday. Ashen wanted in on this selfie and how could I resist that face?

I wrote a whole blog about my new watermelon hat from VelvetVolcano, but I just adoooore it and have worn it so much that I had to mention it again.

And the last one, I got a sneaky early peek at some of Sugar & Vice's new Witching Hour collection, which is amaze and I need it all. This is the pentagram necklace which is a total bargain at £11. You can also see the fringe I cut myself in recently.

September will likely be a quieter month, as I am already Christmas shopping. For real. I have a spreadsheet and everything.

Much love,

Watermelon Snuggles

I've blogged about my love of watermelon print, and I am still so not over it at all. Not long after I posted that blog, the awesome VelvetVolcano started making hats. And oh my glob I had to get one! All of VV's hats are vegan and cruelty free, Tamsyn is a fab fab lady.

The package, the hat came all wrapped up in tissue paper with a ribbon, a business card, and on the back of the watermelon paper is a cute little note too. Tamsyn used my real name instead of Kitty so I'm not sharing :P

Watermelon Crotchet Slouchy Beanie £16

And the hat I chose. Seriously, I could not resist! The watermelon hat is available in either classic red, or pink, which is adorable as well.

This hat is so soft and comfy. I love autumn, and I cannot wait for it to keep cool so I can wear this all the time! With my chronic pain condition, I need hats to be a good fit, anything tight or heavy adds to the pain, and this hat is so soft it isn't going to be a problem at all. Tamsyn is in the process of designing more hats and I can't wait to see what she does next, I'm going to need more!

Much love,
