Hello September & Subscription Boxes
Happy September Guys!
After not having much of a summer at all here in Manchester, I am a little sad to be saying goodbye to something quite non-existent (as my favourite wardrobe is my summer wardrobe), and getting my winter warmers back out.
To get myself through this (like I needed an excuse), for the last 5 months of 2015 I have subscribed to the monthly beauty box – Birchbox. There are so many subscription boxes out there I find it quite hard to pick which one I think will benefit me most, but Birchbox seems to be a great all-rounder, with a variation of products and samples.

10 tips for saving money
We all have those things that we want to save for, whether it be a holiday, a new item of clothing or just saving for a rainy day. Some of us are lucky enough to have money left over at the end of each month, and some of us are always looking for ways to save a little extra.
I actually consider myself to be pretty good at saving when I want to, but I recently surprised myself with how well I did when I knew I had an end goal. After booking a holiday to Florida that was only 9 weeks away, I managed to save enough money to be able to enjoy myself whilst I was there, without having to worry about money and being able to buy what I wanted (which is what being on holiday is about right?!).
I thought I’d put together a little list of things I found helpful when saving up the pennies. Maybe you don’t even need this list because you have enough money or you’re already really good at saving, maybe it will inspire you to have a go yourself, or just maybe you will try some of these out and surprise yourself with how easy it can be.
Restaurant: San Carlo Fumo for Friday Date Night
By far some of the best Italian food I have eaten in the UK, and now one of my fave restaurants in Manchester.
Italian tapas, wine, cocktails and some Friday dancing.

Missguided May Must-Haves
Missguided is a site where I can ALWAYS find something I want. Without fail. I love looking at wishlists and new items, so I thought I’d make my own Missguided wishlist to share with you guys. I find it interesting looking at other blogger’s wishlists, and I sometimes find myself liking something I wouldn’t even notice before, just because I saw it on a blogger’s page. After writing this post I will be buying some of these items – YAY, (though sadly not all) and I’m sure you will see them popping up in future outfit posts.
Please let me know how you feel about the wishlist style post.. do you find it interesting? Or maybe even inspirational? Do you have any online shops where you always find yourself wanting EVERYTHING? Have you got your own wishlists?
