Back from Mauritius!

Hi all, I am back from my holidays! And I miss the sunshine already!

We stayed at the Sands Resort and Spa, it was AMAZING. Canapes and rum are brought to your room every day at 6pm, and iced drinks are brought around the pool and beach in the morning and afternoon to refresh you whilst you sunbathe. I've never had that sort of service before, even in Fiji!

Here are a few photos of the first few days of the holiday....

Leaving Heathrow

I'm pretty obsessed with my new ring!!And had gone back to my summer turquoise shade of nail polish.

Coming into land after the 12 hour flight...

Gorgeous bed display - with NO ants!  :)

The bf happy to have arrived!! ;)

Large dressing room - soon put to good use with all of my new clothes!

A peek of the canapes - yum!!

 Do you feel sad at the end of holidays? Or do you look forward to coming home? :)

PS I am a huge (new) fan of Instagram - do you use it? If so, let me know so I can follow you!

Mauritius!

Just a couple of quick pics of the last 24 hours! Rain, sunshine, complimentary canapés and a tot of rum each evening delivered to the room(!!!), and plenty of relaxation.

Where's the nicest place you've ever holidayed? Ps. I tried to add more than two images via the Blogger iPhone app and kept receiving an error message of insufficient storage- have you ever heard of this problem? Xx

What I wore: silver sparkles

Hello all! How was your weekend? I am getting over my cold at last - yay! And only one day left till I go to Mauritius! Double yay!

On Friday I'd promised my sister that I would go for a quiet drink with her, and despite my whinging and stinking cold all day, she held me to my promise! We had a great laugh though and after a 20 minute walk along what I can only describe as a slippery wet country HILL road, in massive platforms, and no lights - with a mist covered paddock next to us, we crashed a party at a cottage that our Mum and Auntie had attended. A bit random!

Here's what I wore (these photos look a terrible quality - sorry :( )

Skirt, H&M (NEW!); top, Tempt; Jacket, Primark; tights, Primark; Shoes, Number One Shoes

Headband, Alannah Hill; earrings (just seen) Shh By Sadie

Charm bracelet, Tiffany & Co; Cuff - stolen from my sister!; Black ring, Topshop; Silver ring, gift.

 I normally wear gold toned jewellery so it was nice to change to silver for the evening - do you normally wear gold or silver jewellery?

Keeping Cosy at the Celtic!

Hello all! 

The bf and I enjoyed our day at the Celtic Manor - a posh golf/leisure resort 5 mins from my parents' house. The Ryder Cup was held there in 2011 and many celebs stay there when they are in the area.

Anyway, as I was feeling under the weather I chucked on this very shapeless (but cosy!!) jumper for our afternoon there. I didn't get any pics of my evening outfit which is extremely lame!! Boo! Nevermind.

Jumper, Primark.

My new Christmas leather boots, from my lovely Mummy :)

I added a touch of OPI glitter to my nails!

Ring, H&M (current season)

Earrings, Primark

My new nude lippy from Mac - I forget which shade sorry!

Cheeky 'don't ask' candles!! Hahaha.

Bday boy with some of his pressies :)

A selection of the desserts! YUM!

I'm still under the weather but have been on a dress-hunting mission! I needed two dresses for the two beach weddings in Mauritius next week and today think I finally got them sorted!Now for the accessories! ;)

How is your week? :)

Happy Mr B-day!

Hello and happy new year! Today is also happy birthday to the bf! I have renamed it Mr B-day in honour of him, haha.

Mr B :)

The weather is DIRE here and he's had to go to Bristol for work this morning and I've been awake most of the night with a darned sore throat (boo). However, we are slipping off to the fancy hotel in Newport later for a swim, spa, dinner and a night at the lodge. So I hope he enjoys his birthday! It was also my sister's birthday on December 29th - I feel sorry for them both having birthdays so close to Christmas and the new year, but they must still make the most of them eh!! :)

PS I am also having a week's "January sale" with 25% off at my Etsy store using the code "January"! :)
