Slip & Slide

New Slippers!

I am an old lady (hence the name Granny Gee) and I do love a comfortable pair of slippers to wear around the house. So, when my knitted bootie slippers gained a huge hole in the sole, it was time for a replacement pair.

I couldn't find any slippers in New Look (I guess people don't buy them in the summer season, but it's still so cold!), so I went into Tesco and they had these little beauties. And the best part, they were only £6! I think they look a bit Accessorise style! Love the lining too. 

Ikea Haul

Me and my lovely housemate went to Ikea yesterday! I love Ikea!

I really needed a bookcase, but I couldn't help picking up a few things on my way around! I also bought stuff for my friends leaving present and my mum's birthday which I can't post on here yet.

Love the mirror! It's just so cute! And I'm going to use the candle holder as ring storage. 

I also bought a weekly planner from Paperchase; trying to get prepared for my third year of uni next year. I'm hoping to organise my time better next year.

And finally, the cutest nail decorations in the shape of fruit! 

I tried putting them on my nails, but to be honest, they look a bit strange. They aren't bendy enough to fit nicely on a nail. However, I've decided I'm going to attach them to my bright pink phone case. I'll post pics when I've done it! 

MUA Nail Varnish Review

MUA Nail Varnish Review 

This nail varnish is amazing! Only £1 and in so many different colours! 

I opted for some ice-cream pastel shades, all ready for the summer. A mint green, lilac and baby pink. 

Although this nail varnish does look pigmented and slightly separated while in the bottle, for pastel colours you would expect to put on quite a few layers. 

The mint green only needed two coats, but you could put on more if you wanted a brighter green. The lilac and baby pink needed three coats to be a matte colour. 

For only £1 each I would totally recommend these nail varnishes. And the price means you buy all the shades you like, not just one! 

Saturday Savings

Today was all about savings - saving time & money.

My mum kindly drove me to find where my internship is based, to save me time and stress on monday morning! 

The magazine is called Velvet and it's a free, luxury mag based in Newmarket. 

We then headed to Bury St Edmunds for a bit of retail therapy. 

And here are some of my purchases! 

We started off at The Works - if you haven't been it is AMAZING for super cheap books and craft materials. The Dressmaking book is so thick and reduced from £25 to £9.99! A great saving and hopefully something to inspire me to get back into sewing! I also picked up another book for my dissertation (which is a big secret at the moment, I'll tell you all about it soon!) for £3.99! What a bargain!

We then headed to Matalan, where I bought the boyfriend some black trousers for work as his have been worn to death! I also picked up this gorgeous statement silver necklace for £10. I think it's going to be great for updating my trusty LBD, as well as brand new black jumper! 

Lastly, we stopped off at Sainsbury's, and naturally, mother and I had to check out the stationary (we are a bit addicted to stationary...you should see her study!). I found this cute A5 notepad to use for next term at uni. And, of course, I needed to buy Vogue! LOVE the cover image this month. So sixties!

Easter Treats!!

 Sainsbury's have these Easter goodies on fabulous offers at the moment. Just a heads up! The eggs are 99p each and the animal bunnies are 80-something-pence a box.
