I seem to have been eating Krispy Kreme's non stop this week! Work got some in and my boyfriend also bought a box! They're yum but I think I've had my fill for the next year! // The pictures of the barge and lilies were taken on my lunch break, decided to take a walk down the canal in Leeds. Lovely. // A well earned beer and catch up reading blogs on Friday night, after another busy week at work. // My face when I discovered the lovely Laura, aka Lollipop26 had started following my blog! My boyfriend was driving at the time and I have to say I let out a bit of a squeal... I'm surprised he didn't crash! // Had a lovely day out yesterday with some friends, walking passed some very pretty fields on the way to a pub it was easy to forget we were still in Leeds!

I hope you've all had a good week, and even better weekend!

I got two new bags recently, and oh how I love them!

Lollipop26 is back, and inspiring us all once again now that she's blogging on buy now, blog later. After she bought more than a couple focco bag's, I was sufficiently jealous enough to head on over to her recommended eBay store and get myself in on the action! I've featured this bag already on my blog but I wanted to get you guys a bit more up close and personal, as I love this bag! I actually wanted the grey one (still do!) but it was sold out for so long, I just couldn't wait any longer that I went ahead and bought the black! It's my new favourite bag. I been wearing it every day since it was delivered and you can literally fit your whole world in it! An absolute bargain at roughly £34!

Speaking of bargains, my mum also picked up this stunning Fiorelli bag for me on one of her charity shop trips. I follow a few bloggers who would love to do a charity shop spree with my mum, few could rival her when it comes to amazing charity shop finds! This bag is brand spanking new and I think my mum paid around £10, amazing price for a Fiorelli. This retro, croc-effect style bag has been done by so many of the big designers, Jimmy Choo and Marc Jacobs, that it will forever be a classic piece. Perfect for work, and everything else!

Bags! Bags! Bags! Whoop! :)

I visited London at the weekend. About an hour before my train was due to depart back home I remembered Forever 21! So despite having no time to browse properly... and having had more than a couple of vino's... I wondered through it's newly opened doors and quickly picked up a few bit's.

Forever 21 has some absolutely amazing pieces, the few things I picked up really don't do the whole range justice. I was so rushed but also most of the bit's I absolutely loved only had large sizes left, I was there about 8 o'clock on Saturday night!

I got the 'I heart LA' t-shirt as a present for my sister, she's always loved anything 'LA' branded... not because of the place, it's her initials! :) I also grabbed the colour blocked t-shirt because it's a simple classic piece, and the colours will be great for Autumn. The headband and earrings really caught my eye! I can't wait to wear the headband on my next holiday to sunny Malta and these earrings will jazz up any outfit!

Have any of you checked out the new Forever 21 store in London? What did you think? Or do you live somewhere where Forever 21 is old news? What are your must haves from the store?

On Saturday Chris and I visited London for the day. We went to see Chris' cousin, Ross Hunter, in We Will Rock You. The show was amazing, and Ross was especially, he was playing the lead, Galileo! If you ever fancy catching a show in the West End you should definitely go see We Will Rock You! Before the show we did a bit of sight-seeing; the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, St. James' Park, The Mall, Buckingham Palace and of course, Oxford Street... to sample the newly opened Forever 21! Though I didn't get much time to explore the store properly, and most of the stuff I wanted to buy had nothing left in my size, I still picked up a few bits... quick post to come!

We were really lucky with the weather, which meant I was able to wear a summery outfit for the first time in what's felt like ages! I hope you enjoy these few photo's, sorry they were taken on my phone so not the best quality!
