6 Most Wanted: House of Fraser

As well as watercolour painting, binge watching Dexter (again) and blogging; I also have this hobby of making wishlists for myself. Whether it be stationery, handbags or trips abroad, you can guarantee I have a list of my fave most wanted ones.

I thought today I'd share my most recent wishlist; Lingerie and Jewellery favourite from House of Fraser. I'll be making this a regular feature on this blog, in the hopes someone will take pity on me, and lavish me with all my favourite things (HA).

This past week I've been pretty excited about some upcoming events and night outs I have planned, and the perfect dresses I have to wear for them. Now that the main part of the outfits are taken care of, I've been browsing for some beautiful things to wear with them.

Adding A Little Character


As our new home comes together more each day, I'm noticing how sometimes the little things can make all the difference. Sure the appliances and sofas and whatnot make a huuuge difference (especially when there's no sofa to park on after a long day!), but often enough it's the small plants, pretty lights, or unique prints which give life to a room. With this in mind I took another trip to Nook & Cranny recently, as I so often do.


Now the Bill Murray print is not from Nook & Cranny, Gary and I found this last year in a little craft fair and instantly fell in love. Who doesn't want Bill Murray on their wall?! But the rest are all from N&C this past week. I love the cat cards so much that we bought them so we could frame or display them in some way on the walls. Maybe a collage if we find more cat themed prints we love.. What do you guys think?



I must say the only heartbreaking thing is I really wanted to pick up a Zelda themed print I seen in store, but we couldn't get that too, so we chose the wolf print shown above. And let's be honest he really is snazzy.

I just kind of wanted to share these with you guys because I love finding such beautiful little treasures, and I love when you guys recommend even more places for me to find some! I'll be giving these prints pride of place soon, and I'm sure I'll find more too.

What have you been buying lately?

Bath Time!

Okay not really. But I did find some little treasures last week which I've been wanting to show you guys, simply because of the cuteness!

How awesome is this pink bathtub for all your toiletries?! Maybe it's just me but I thought it was adorable and had to have it. I found this with a bunch of the toiletries I know and love in Wilkinson's, and I was so surprised. I didn't realise some of the great things they do there, but I'll definitely be giving them another little visit.



My favourites of the bunch though was from the 'Kiss' range which is exclusive to Wilko's. I seen a whole bunch of products in this range, and decided to try the Cleansing Face Foam and the Smoothing Face Primer; both only £4 each.

The Cleansing Face Foam is infused with Apricot Oil and Baobab Oil to help moisturise and soften the skin and I found it really dd this even after just one use. I love trying a foam as I usually stick to Cleansing waters, and this was a nice change. It really felt like I got to wash away the day's grime on my face (eww). A good product for £4.

The Face Primer apparently uses Silica spheres to diffuse light and help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also contains antioxidants and oils to help condition and soften the skin. This baby is my new favourite bargain primer. Seriously good! I'll be 100% honest I was in need of a primer and the packaging drew me in here, I love anything pretty and pink. 
I didn't even give it much thought as I applied it across my skin before applying my makeup. That is, until my fingers and face turned into the softest, buttery skin ever. I literally stopped what I was doing (watching Youtube vids..) and went to look in the mirror as I applied it. It felt like a DREAM on my skin, and I only needed a small amount for my whole face. It left it feeling so silky soft I couldn't help but ask my boyfriend Gary to touch my face (Lol). I was also really impressed with how well this helped smooth out my pores, especially on my nose which is my problem area. 

The only thing I can't comment on is if it helped my makeup stay in place. And truthfully that's because I've began wearing Estee Lauder Double Wear and it's amazing at staying in place anyway. But being as this product is only £4, I feel no trouble in advising you all to go try it immediately!


I'm going to try lots of other beauties from the Kiss range as soon as possible!
Have you tried anything from this range?
