Some November Favourites | November 2017 ♡



Theres a few bits and bobs I have been using over and over again recently and today I thought I would share with you, a little impromptu favourites. A really random bunch of things, but, hey ho!
I hope your all enjoying the colder wether like me, cosy jumpers, candles, hot drinks and for us... SNOW! Ive been super busy at University but it has calmed down for a wee bit, enough for me to get a few posts up. Also, I had a car accident. Im all good, but it set me back a couple of days but Im now back more determined to get my wee blog going again. So here you go...


The brand Bilou was created by German Youtuber Bibi's Beauty Place and includes an awesome collection of Creamy Shower Foams, Gentle Cream Foams and Bodyspray's. I have been really enjoying using the Shower Foams lately and my favourites have been the Fizzy Berry and Cotton Candy scents. They are so nice to use for shaving and making yourself smell lush in the shower.
They come in a range of incredible creative scents available in Superdrug. 


Ive been listening to loads of music this past month or so. Two albums which are my absolute favourites at the moment are Taylor Swift's REPUTATION and Steps Tears on the Dancefloor.

Lets talk about Steps first, my absolute childhood heroes. I saw them live last week and I had thee best night of my life. What an incredible show they put on! I lived for Steps when I was younger. I saw them a couple of times back in the day and yes, I cried my wee heart out for days when they split. Im so happy that they have properly reunited with new music and an epic tour this time round. Their new album is such a happy one and I blast it in the car, the shower, on walks, anywhere I can get away with it.  Claire Richards has been my idol since I was teenie and hearing her voice live actually brought me to tears at one point! She's iconic. If you don't have the album but love a good dance and feeling super happy and positive, get it!! And no, I did not buy the same album twice...signed both times....

Taylor Swift released her sixth studio album this month, REPUTATION, and although it got many mixed reviews, I love it. Listening to the whole album through the day it came out was such a pleasure. There are some songs on it that are very different for Taylor, but unlike people thought, their are some beautiful songs on there too. New Years Day is quite possibly one of my favourite songs of hers ever, a gorgeous piano ballad that tugs at the heartstrings. Some of the belters on the album includes Getaway Car, Gorgeous, This is Why We Cant Have Nice Things and Don't Blame Me.
Don't listen to all the haters, buy it and listen for yourself. I promise you will be surprised.


Zoella's Winter Range (Snow'ella) which is available in Superdrug at the moment is lovely. I picked up the body mist and this hand cream as I adored the gingerbread one last year. This years one is a much lighter, crisper scent. Its infused with soft peony and soothing mint, gorgeous. With the snowy cold weather we have been getting this hand cream has kept my hands feeling so soft and the smell is just gorgeous.



The Harry Potter books have stumbled back into my life recently. This 20th Anniversary Edition of The Philosophers Stone is just so amazing and comes in your choice of which house you want.
Reading these books again has transported me back into the magical world of Harry Potter and I have been completely loving it. I cant wait to pick up the next book in the series (or dig out my originals) and carry on reading the whole collection. 

Dorothy Perkins is my most favourite clothes store, especially this month. I did a ridiculous order when they had their 25% offer on and also bought my coat! I then got spendy with their 50% Black Friday deals, I was literally in heaven and had to steady myself!
I did a whole blog post of my coat, thats how much I have been loving it lately.  Its so cosy, so cute and super classy. The Perfect Coat (Dorothy Perkins)


I think I will do a wee separate Haul on my DP order, but for now I wanted to tell you about my new favourite jumper. This super cosy, knitted grey jumper is my new obsession. Its soooo soft and has the cutest bell sleeves and detail around the neck line. I sized up in mine which means its really comfy and I have been throwing it on with a pair of black skinnies and black ankle boots. Topped off with a scarf and my coat I'm as snug as a bug for the winter!

*Future Amy here, I apologise for no photo of this jumper, It sadly got a bit ruined in my car accident. I am in the process of ordering a new one and will show you at some point*


Stay tuned, Im going to be doing lots and lots of posts and exciting things for Blogmas this year. I'm super excited! Already got a few ready to go, can you believe its December on Friday?!

Thank you for taking the time to read, very much appreciated. Let me know what you guys have been loving this month,

The Perfect Coat | November 2017 ♡


Every year I tell myself I need to get a proper grown up, classy, cosy coat. However, every year I find myself shoving on the same old jacket or rain coat and never seem to update it. 
This year, I found the coat I've been after for so long and I'm obsessed.
This beautiful coat is from Dorothy Perkins and is super affordable, plus, on offer at the moment!

Can we also just take a wee second to appreciate the bag! This was on ASOS for so long and I finally bit the bullet and got it. Its so freaking cool, no matter what anyone says! Perfect for all you fellow cat ladies out there. Its a velvety material with, surprisingly, lots of room inside. 

My boots are from New Looks Autumn collection last year but they have some really similar ones in at the moment. Although they are heeled boots they are so comfy and easy to walk in, I did manage to walk through the woods in them. Im still obsessed with embroidery and love adding a splash of it to an outfit whenever I can.




If your looking for a new coat this season I would highly recommend Dorothy Perkins. They have loads of different styles and colours, so many gorgeous choices. 
Hope your having a lovely day,
