The Love List.

I did a post like this back in February, and found it quite a fun, positive thing to do, so thought I'd do another one! Most of these things are small and simple - it doesn't take a lot to please me!



My Polar FT4 - These seem to be quite popular at the moment and, to be honest, I probably wouldn't normally spend £55 on a watch for the gym. But I had some vouchers, so thought why the hell not. I absolutely love it. I find it so motivating, and it really helps me during my workouts. I definitely recommend getting one if you're a bit of a health & fitness nut.

Toffee apple cider - Nothing better than coming home from work on a Friday and cracking one open! Mmmm.

Dexter - I'm pretty far behind on this but, after borrowing my friend's dvds, I'm now totally hooked. Currently watching season 6 and pleased I still have 7 and 8 to go!

This cookie cutter - Makes baking biscuits more fun!

Overnight oats - I've been enjoying this for my breakfast most mornings - it really fills me up after going to the gym. I usually go for a simple combo of soya milk, greek yoghurt, honey and blueberries. If anyone has any other great combinations please let me know!

Autumn - It's coming! My favourite season. I can't wait for cosy knits, boots, crunchy leaves and hot drinks under my slanket.

The 40mm pancake lens - I used my birthday money to get myself this lens a month or so ago, and absolutely love it. I was going to go for the 'nifty fifty', but glad I spent a little bit more on this one on the end. It's tiny! And, like the photography tutor at the workshop I went on said, it's like the lens has been cut off when it's on the camera! It makes it so much easier to carry around, and I can't wait to play with it more.



Les Misérables - My lovely bestie got me tickets for the West End show for my birthday, and we went to see it together last Saturday. I had seen it once before, when I was 14 (14 years ago!), but felt like I appreciated it a whole lot more second time round. It was AMAZING, and I would definitely go to see it again (and again). Thank you, Laura :)

Blogs - I can't do this post without mentioning a few of my current favourites! Lisette Loves, Sunshine Days, The Little Things and Simple Sophie.

Loves of late...

This post was inspired by the lovely Victoria, who recently kindly gave my blog a mention in her 'What I am currently loving' post - so thank you, Victoria! I've been loving lots of things lately so I thought I would do a little post.

♥ The Primrose Bakery - it was my boyfriend's birthday yesterday and we popped into the one in Covent Garden for tea and a cupcake. Ben, typically, got a chocolate cupcake and I went for a rose one - which was so yummy. I would definitely recommend a visit if you're ever in London. I have the Primrose Bakery book, which I have tried a few recipes from - now I am desperate to try the rose cupcakes, as mine was so lovely!



♥ Illamasqua speckled nail polishes - my boyfriend got me the lilac one and now I'm after the whole collection! Who doesn't want mini egg nails?!



♥ Saving - bit of a funny one, as I love shopping and spending money in general. Although I have made a few little purchases this month, and treated Ben on his birthday, I have been a lot more sensible and not as quick to spend money as I usually am. It feels good! I just hope I can keep up Frugal February for the rest of the month.

♥ Crafting/DIY-ing - always a love of mine, but I have done a fair bit lately - namely some floral bunting [which I am yet to finish], jewellery making and a little DIY which has been on my list to do for a little while - post soon!

♥ Baby clothes - every time I pass by a baby/kids clothes shop I have to stop and take a look. My nephew isn't due until May but I've already bought him a couple of onesies, and I'm finding it hard to stop there! Spoilt little munchkin.



♥ This quote which I found on Pinterest. I think it's perfect for my boyfriend as he is so fussy and he always says I should feel privileged as he is with me, ha ha.

♥ The Walking Dead - I love this show and I'm so glad it's back on! I have a few US shows I watch each week - is it sad that I get excited at work, knowing I have something good to watch at home in the evening!? It's the little things.

♥ Summer holiday planning - we've booked to go to Malta and I am super excited - especially as we are planning to do the dolphin swim whilst we are there! We almost did one when we went to Portugal in 2011, but couldn't afford it. So I think it's a must this time!

♥ Blogs - I couldn't end this without mentioning a few of my favourites! Lily Loves Lola, A Rosie Outlook, Sail boat, A Million Dresses, Sweet Monday, Cold Knees and Little Winter - these are just a few of the blogs I've been loving for a while now. I'm always on the lookout for new blogs to follow so please feel free to recommend your favourites!

Hope you all have a beaut weekend. x
