Whats Hap-pinning {8}

With the arrival of Spring it is only natural that I have been eyeing up all the latest fashion trends which isn't good for my bank balance. So here are a few things that have been added to my shopping basket lately...

Off the shoulder tops are one of my favourite trends this season. They can be used as a staple throughout the Spring and Summer. I can pair this white one with jeans in the Spring and then shorts or a skirt in the Summer so versatile.

I like the style and colour of this top, the cut out design makes it a great transition for Spring when the weather isn't quite warm enough for short sleeves.

Love this printed dress, such a great colour and style. A great piece to transition into Spring and can even be worn in Summer. Cannot wait to pair these with gladiator sandals.

One of my favourite things about the warmer temps is having the option of just throwing a dress on and your good to go. So quick, easy and trendy! This dress is such a good piece for Spring when the weather hasn't quite warmed up yet.

We all know that March and warmer temps bring the return of white jeans! I wore mine a ton last year but unfortunately they were ruined when I dropped a pizza slice on them (don't ask) so I have been eyeing these white jeans as a replacement.

Lately I am struggling to find a pair of jeans that fit my like a glove, well last week I went into the store and tried these on and they fit so well. I had an online voucher to spend so I decided to just order them online instead as I am all about saving money. These jeans are so cheap and such good quality, so I am picking up the white pair above which is from the same store.

Everyone needs a pair of gladiator sandals in their life for Spring/Summer. Love the simple design of these, can't wait to buy these!

Lace up flats are so popular right now, these will basically go with everything and you can dress up an outfit or dress down an outfit with these love them.

Which pieces have you been eyeing up lately ready for Spring/Summer and the warmer temps? Anything worth sharing?

Fri-yay {2}

fall

I am so glad it is the weekend, I am so exhausted and cannot wait to open up a bottle of wine and settle down in front of the TV.

Now onto my Friday five...

1| I couldn't write a post without mentioning Fall! It is my favourite season by far as you all know. I love Fall fashion and Fall TV. All my favourite programs are due to return in the next few weeks so you may not here much from me;)

2| You know you are an adult when you ask for a blender for your birthday. Yep my birthday is next month and my mother asked me what I wanted and I said a blender. I love making my own homemade soups and when I move I won't have a blender as the one I currently use is in fact my mothers so I thought I would ask for something useful.

3| This weekend will be all about family time and I cannot wait. I am so excited to be spending the weekend with my dads side of the family. They live quite a distance away from me so I don't see them all that often. I cannot wait to spend it with my aunties, uncles and cousins. Quality time with family is the best especially when it involves take out food and board game.

4| Now Fall is here I have been on the hunt for the perfect fall boots. I have a coupon for 20% off on ASOS and how convenient it expires this weekend.
So far I have been liking these beauties below, tell me which is your favourite because I can't seem to decide.

I really want a pair of knee high boots with
a heel and I do like these but don't know if they are appropriate or not.

Black is my staple colour but I don't know if they are too plain for my liking.

I really like these boots, tassles are really in this Fall.

I am leaning towards the last pair the more I look at them, but still would love to hear your thoughts.

5| I was browsing Facebook and came across this video, it is a video from Tom Fletcher a famous British musician announcing he is going to be a dad for a second time! Such a great pregnancy announcement idea you should all check it out such a sweet video.

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!

Whats Hap-pinning {4}

life

There is nothing more I like to do after a stressful day than sit on the couch and binge watch TV. It is fair to say that I am a champion when it comes to the amount of shows I have watched. Is there a job where I can sit and binge watch TV and get paid for it? If so hit me up.

Here are 5 shows that I am currently binge watching...

1| Friends- A classic series that you can't go wrong watching, it always manages to pick me up after a particularly bad day. It reminds me of the type of friendships me and my friends have. This is my 5th time watching the series from start to finish.

2| Sons of Anarchy- It has such a great cast with the likes of Katey Sagal and Ron Perlman. It is about a single father who finds his loyalty to his motorcycle club tested and it tackles issues such as gun running to vigilante justice. I am only a few episodes in but so far so good. When someone recommended it to me I wasn't sure as it wasn't my type of show but so glad I gave it a go.

3| New Girl- This is my type of show that I knew I would like from the off set and it did not disappoint. It is an hilarious comedy that stars Zooey Deschanel. She really portrays the main character really well. It is about a girl who finds her partner cheating and moves into a flat with 3 other guys. You can just imagine the hilarity from that last sentence alone.

4| Friday Night Lights- Another show that surprised me, everyone seemed to love this and recommended it to me so I thought I would give it a watch. I can't stop watching I have already watched nearly all the episodes since Friday night. This show also tackles some very important issues such as family values, school funding, racism, drugs, abortion, and lack of economic opportunities.

5| Dexter- This has gripped me from the start and I am on the last but one episode from finishing it. It is kind of dark and twisted but you can't help but like the main character despite the fact he is a serial killer. He tries to gain justice for the victims by killing those who have killed them. I totally recommend that you watch this if you haven't already.

Other shows that I have recently finished binge watching and are up to date on are- How to Get Away with Murder, Pretty Little Liars, House of Cards and the Bachelor/Bachelorette.

If you have any recommendations of shows you like to watch then send them my way. I am always on the look out for good TV series to watch because you know I have nothing else to do;)

Just A Bunch Of Randomness {Friday Link Ups}

five on friday

1| My new blog design is finally here. The good news is that it is better than my old one but the bad news is I did it myself.
I was far to indecisive in choosing someone to help me and I was bored the other day so just thought I would try and come up with a simple blog design.
After about 3 hours and endless tutorials I did it.
If you know of any good blog designers at a reasonable price I could work with send them my way!

2| I am so excited for fall/Autumn (since the majority of my readers are American I find myself using their terminology a lot more) I love everything about it from Halloween, to chunky jumpers, to knee high boots, to the crunching of the leaves when you walk.
I have already been browsing the internet for some stuff to add to my wardrobe ready for fall/autumn that I will share with you all in the coming weeks.
Am I the only one that is so excited for fall/autumn?

I know I am years behind on this trend but I have finally started to listen to podcasts. I love anything to do with crime as you all know by now so I have started listening to Serial. I am 3 episodes in and I am so intrigued.

I have wanted to listen to it way back when everyone else was but I could never really concentrate listening to podcasts as I am such a visual person but I am so glad I have started to listen to them. So great for road trips or just a commute in the car!
Anyone have any good podcasts to recommend to me once I am done with Serial?

4| Now that school is out I seem to have a lot more time on my hands so I have been doing a lot of baking.
I found the best ever cookie recipe on Pinterest and I have made them on three different occasions.

The BEST Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies EVER. You

Just look at them! I love me some Peanut Butter.

I would show you how mine turned out like but a) they didn't look as appetising despite tasting great and b) me and my family devoured them before there was time to take a picture.
Head on over to Pinterest board for the recipe *it won't disappoint*
What is your favourite recipe to make? Dessert or a meal?

5| This show is all I have been watching lately.

I know it looks like all I do is watch TV with the amount of posts I mention it in but I promise I do actually productive things *sometimes*
I have hardly any energy in the evenings so all I really want to do is snuggle up on the couch watching TV and this show is everything I want in a TV show.
Do you think Joanna and Chip will fly over and give my house a overhaul, a girl can dream right.Do any of you watch this?

Sorry for such a shitty post last night had me spending the majority of the time with my head down the toilet. No I wasn't drunk, I have some kind of stomach bug but I couldn't miss linking up with these fabulous ladies.
