Sunday Edit #7


Eating // I've only eaten out once this week but it was at one of my favourite restaurants in Manchester, Splendid Kitchen. The place is all about Northern Soul Food and I always get the best meal ever. I had the buffalo chicken sliders with nacho fries and it was seriously so good. If you ever find yourself in Manchester, this place has to a port of call.

Reading // I've finally picked up my Kindle, can we get a hooray?! I'm finally getting round to reading Mary Kubica's The Good Girl and I can't wait to give you guys a full review.

Watching // I've addicted to two new things: Scream Queens & Breaking Ground. I think we all know what Scream Queens is, and how freaking brilliant it is. I know everybody said it started off really badly but I am completely in love with it, it's hilarious and different and I love it. Breaking Ground is actually a WWE Network show about the new recruits of NXT and I love everything to do with WWE and NXT so this was also a great one for me.

Wearing // My new burgundy Clarks boots are my new favourite things in the world and I can't take them off my feet. They are perfect for the winter keeping my feet crazy toasty and they look beautiful. Even better.

The Sunday Edit #6

Sunday round up post featuring ASOS and Gilmore Girls

Eating // I've eaten out so much this week and I've had some amazing meals. The Cosy Club in Manchester had to be the best, especially with the amaaaazing Bloody Mary I had. The service was impeccable and my Moroccan Tabbouleh was actually to die for. I will be going again and trying a burger. I had total burger envy of my fiance's meal. 

Reading // I'm lacking so badly again on this front, I'm just not finding the time or wanting to actually sit down and read and I don't know why. It's annoying me as I've got loads of books I want to read at the minute as well. I think I'm definitely going to make myself sit down next week and get into a book that's been waiting for me.

Watching // Gilmore Girls has been on repeat this week whilst I've been blogging and I wouldn't have it any other way. I am so excited for the Netflix revival of Gilmore Girls next year but I've always had it on in background since I started watching them in 2010 (I know, late on the bandwagon.) If you haven't indulged in the lives of the adorable Gilmore Girls, Lorelei and Rory, then you must get yourself on Netflix. It's the most perfect show, ever.

Wearing // Slogan/funny tees have always and probably will be THANG. I have at least 10 in my wardrobe already, mostly in grey marl, and I have a good few more in my ASOS basket. I am completely in love with this one, and also this one.

The Sunday Edit #5

Eating // Oh my, Mexican has definitely been it this week. Yesterday we made a fajita feast and obviously, my guacamole was just the best. I love avocado, it's so lovely and mashed and mixed with the flavours of lime, coriander and tomato, it doesn't get much better. I'm definitely going to try some more Mexican food; I want to try my hand at burritos!

Reading // For some really odd reason, reading has gone out of the window this week. I want to sit down and get into a good book but something is stopping me. My anxiety is slowing creeping back into my life and it's taking it out of me. I need to try and make time because it does usually help me to calm down.

Watching // Once Upon a Time has been on constantly in my house this week seeing as my mum is now absolutely addicted. We're already part way through season 2 and it's something we can watch together which is lovely, especially as I already love it.

Wearing // Glittery socks and ankle boots! My ASOS Astronomical boots (here) are my favourites this season and I can't stop wearing them with my glittery socks. It's a ridiculously cute combo that'll get me through the winter months!

The Sunday Edit #4

Picture of a Sunday Edit roundup

Eating // Spooky Mini Rolls. Seriously, I hope you can find these after Halloween because I'm going to be distraught. They are Mini Rolls with the addition of blackcurrant jam, I'm salivating just thinking about them.

Reading // I've dedicated my reading this week to keeping on top of my Bloglovin' feed. Reading other blogs genuinely gives me so much inspiration and that is the reason why I'm feeling so good about my blog recently. I've actually dedicated a blog here to my favourite reads at the moment; check it out.

Watching // I feel like I've been watching QVC at lot this week; with two orders placed. I've bought the Liz Earle today's special value which you'll see on my blog this week (trust me, it was amazing), bought my mum's Christmas present and bought a Yankee Candle offer for two large candles in the scents; Gingerbread Maple and Vanilla Bourbon. Seriously, how amazing do they sound?! I love how QVC is such amazing value and if you haven't had a look, go and do so.

Wearing // I'm seriously still in love with my grey Primark coat that you can see here and here. It is the most comfortable coat I own and is SO snugly. I've not felt the cold at all in it and I doubt I'll be needing another this winter. It is so versatile and goes with pretty much anything; multi-tasker.


How has your Sunday been?

The Sunday Edit #3


Eating //  Lo and behold, I'm still pretty much house ridden because of the torn ligaments in my ankle and I've not been able to go out and do anything but I have been slightly addicted to Barr Bubblegum. Seriously, does anybody remember this from when we were kids?! It tastes like rainbow dust sherbet and is less calories than other sugary drinks; (51 calories v 138 calories in Coca Cola) I know it's still not great for you, but it reminds me too much of my youth!

Reading// I've not really been in the mood to read this week (I'm re-watching Gossip Girl, oops)  so I'm still reading Mary Kubica's The Good Girl but I have had a good browse through Glamour and the Lush catalogue; that counts, right?

Watching// I'm a massive Once Upon a Time fan and I'm now getting to re-watch them all with my mum. It's brilliant watching it with someone when you know what happens, especially when they are getting into it as well. She's screaming at the TV, it's actually brilliant. Though it's hard hating Regina again. Oh Regina, you exceptional character, you.

Wearing// Bandanas! Now I've had a my hair chopped, I'm finding that I can wear loads more hair accessories and it just looks too cute. I love bandanas; though I remember wearing them back in the 90s and I'm cringing a little. Think we'll cringe in another decade looking back on now? Anyway, I digress. Hair accessories, thumbs up.

Have you guys had a good week?

The Sunday Edit #2

Picture of The Sunday Edit

Eating// This week I've tried really hard to plan and prep all my meals and I think my favourite dish was one I found on Pinterest. It's a blog post from 2008 by Mel's Kitchen Cafe and it's a takeaway favourite. It's Sweet and Sour Chicken! I absolutely love Chinese food but let's face it, it ain't great for you, hence why I wanted to try one at home. This recipe is so easy to do and the results are so yummy, I would definitely tell you to give it a go.

Reading// Last week I told you that I started The Girl at Rosewood Hall by Annis Bell and while I really want to read this, another book has taken me by the hand and dragged me to their corner. The Good Girl by Mary Kubica is a thriller novel about a young, relatively good girl that leaves a bar with a charming stranger and this decision rocks her life in the worst possible way. If that doesn't leave you wanting more, I don't know what will.

Watching// I'm still off work with my ridiculously dodgy ankle so I've decided to re watch a drama that I've loved for so so long; Gilmore Girls. It's 15 year anniversary of Gilmore Girls airing and I can't get enough of Lorelai and Rory and their amazing small town life. I started watching Gilmore Girls in university and Rory was a spirit animal; she's opinionated, smart and knows exactly what she wants from life. Let's all be Rory Gilmore!

Wearing// I've not really left the house this week which is really sad so I've been chilling in my Ravenclaw trackies and my Moomin pyjamas, both from Primark. I am really exciting on this one this week. One thing I do do when I'm stuck in the house is still pop on some perfume. It makes me feel done up even if I'm only in my Ravenclaw trackies! My signature scent at the moment, and it has been this for around 18 months, is Giorgio Armani Si. With notes of Bergamot, Jasmine and Vanilla, this is not the kind of scent I usually go for, but I am head over heels in love. The only one that might top it is Black Opium. Hint hint.

How has your week been?

The Sunday Edit #1

Do you know those posts that you've always loved reading and never got round to recreating yourself? Well, the Sunday Edit has always been that post. I absolutely love to hear what people do with the day of rest, especially as I don't usually get a Sunday off working in retail. I thought I'd let you know how my week went, in the ranges of eating, reading and watching; so here it goes.

Picture of The Sunday Edit

Eating // I've been stuck in the house all week this week so I've not been able to go anywhere but I've recently got some Tic Tac Mixers in Cherry and Cola flavour; they are amazing. It's so odd to get this kind of flavour from a Tic Tac, but I'm totally on board.

Reading // I've finished two books this week and they were both by Amy Ewing. The White Rose and The House of the Stone. The White Rose is the second of a trilogy called The Lone City; a YA dystopian collection and I couldn't put it down. It is basically The Handmaid's Tale meets The Hunger Games and it's seriously brilliant. The House of the Stone is a novella which is part of same collection and is a lovely addition to keep you going. I've now started The Girl at Rosewood Hall by Annis Bell which a mystery set in the Victorian era, perfect.

Watching // This week as I've been off work with torn and strained ankle ligaments, I found myself catching up on Educating Cardiff and I have absolutely fell in love with the kids and the teachers. They are such an inspiring bunch and if you liked any of the Educating series on Channel 4, give this a go.

Wearing // Floral shirts like this one from Blue Inc, MAC Spirit and MAC Spice are my go to wears this week. MAC Spirit is a perfect 'my lips but better' shade but with Spice underneath, it transforms it into my absolute perfect nude. It suits my skin tone so nicely and I can't get enough. Shirts are usually my go to everyday staple; a pair of jeans and some tan boots and I'm good to go!

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday!
