ClaireaBella Jute Bag

The lovely people from Toxic Fox contacted me to tell me about their range of gifts for Christmas. 

ClaireaBella is one of the ranges that Toxic Fox sell and ClaireaBella has such a lovely range of items to choose from. 

The ClaireaBella range of products include: 

- The Best Selling Jute bags

- make up bags

- mugs

- wine glasses

- cushions

- stationary  

-accessories

and more

I was sent the popular and best selling Large Jute Bag. 

The Jute bag is made to order by a ClaireaBella artist here in the UK, with stunning glitter and sparkles making them a unique gift. 

They are loved my celebs and eco friendly where you can create your own personalized character.

When personalizing your character you choose: 

- Name

- Hair style

- Hair color

- Outfit

- Eye color

and 

-Skin tone.

I chose to have a bag for me with a fab short hair style that looks 

a little similar to mine and similar to my hair color too.

The outfit I chose was the pregnancy one which is appropriate to me since I 

am having my little one this month.

I like that you are able to choose the skin tone as I am very pale. 

The only downside is I would have loved to have been able to choose if my character had glasses or not.

Since I wear glasses myself it would have been fab to have been able to have had that choice. 

I overall do love how the bag has turned out and am using it as part of my hospital bag since I am able to fit a good amount of things inside ( drinks, snacks, make up) 

What do you think of my Jute bag and the ClaireaBella range?

Diet Coke Break

We all need a break from time to time from what life throws at you. 

So why not sit back and relax with a magazine and some Diet Coke. 

Between 17th February and 30th March  Diet Coke have teamed up with fashion bibles

Look and Now, to offer a  free copy of a magazine with every purchase of promotional packs 

of Diet Coke.

Taking 10 minutes out of your busy day to flick through a magazine is the perfect way to unwind 

and spend your Diet Coke break. 

To redeem a free copy of Look or Now, all you have to do is purchase a

promotional pack, visit dietcokefreemagazine.co.uk, enter the unique code from the pack, 

choose your preferred magazine, print off the voucher and take it in store to redeem.

I was sent a rather exciting goodiebag to help me to relax and enjoy my Diet Coke break. 

I also feel I must add that Diet Coke is my favourite drink and I do drink it a lot hence 

why I jumped at the chance to receive a goodiebag. 

As you can see above I received an 8 pack of Diet Coke,  a limited edition Nails Inc Diet Coke nail

polish, a lovely Jo Malone candle and a copy of Look and Now magazine which was all

inside this gorgeous bright red Warehouse bag. 

The bag is a gorgeous bold and fiery red and is very spacious hence why it

was able to fill the amazing goodies inside. 

The Nails Inc Diet Coke Limited Edition polish is bright and bold and 

great for using to pamper yourself before a night out or in. 

I was so excited about the Jo Malone candle I have wanted a Jo Malone

candle for ages, but as you know I like to be thrifty and frugal

and didn't want to spend the £39 that this candle is worth. 

It smells gorgeous too the fragrance is pomegranate noire. 

Last Sunday before a day of work I decided to have my diet coke break 

reading the magazine and sipping Diet Coke and just having a bit of 

"me" time. 

What's your perfect way to have a Diet Coke break? 

Review and give-away: Healthy Back Bag

About Healthy Back Bag

The Healthy Back Bag was born after Margery Gaffin

noticed that people were walking around with either rucksacks

hanging off one shoulder , or were groaning and twisting under the weight

of a un-ergonomic shoulder bag.

Adding to her frustration at being able to find a bag that was comfortable 

following a recent back surgery.

you can read the full story here if you wish. 

I was given the patent orange back bag to review which retails at £29.50.

The main features of the bag: 

- Non slip shoulder strap

-2 pockets to fit your passport, wallet or mobile

- 2 pen slots

- Key hook

-zipper pocket

- large pocket for book

- Velcro flap pocket

- interior pocket for plane ticket, notepad etc

and 

- a outer gusset pocket for bottle of water, mini umbrella or sunglasses. 

Its a great bag which is very comfortable and I love that it has so much space

with a capacity of 7 litres.

Birthday Wish List

   

Today is one month until my 23rd Birthday 

so I have compiled a birthday wishlist of things 

I would love my family and friends to get me. 

First of all is this lovely bag from New Look, £19.99.

When it comes to handbags I find that I always go for trusty black. This time I want

to go for something a bit different and I love 

this one.

I have seen a necklace I like in a local shops window ,

which is a little similar to the one in the photo. 

This lovely stripped top is  in the New Look sale at £7.

I also love this pink and gold owl top this

is currently in the sale at £7 and I'm loving owls atm. 

These books are from The Bright side range which can be found on Amazon.

 Last of all the earrings are from Argos I am in the need of more stud earrings so these are fab. 

Recent Purchases: New Look

Hello all, hope your having a lovely weekend even if it has been dark, dull and raining. 

I've not been able to buy much recently as money is tight so not been

able to buy anything. 

However I was lucky enough to recently get a £50 New Look gift card. 

New Look is my favourite store so I was thrilled to be able to buy 

some new bits as having lost over 2 and half stone now a lot of my clothes

are far too big. 

Any way here is the lovely bits that I chose with my gift card. 

Firstly I chose this gorgeous cream floral gypsy style top, £9.99.

I really love the floral pattern which is fabulous spring time top.

This top will go great with my new leggings for a relaxed day time look. 

I love gypsy style tops because they give me this hippy/boho relaxed vibe. 

Secondly I got this pinky bow print top which was in the sale for £7. 

I love how the material is thin as it will be great when it gets hot. 

I was a little worried that it would look rather boring but I actually love it!

Rose print top, £5.99. 

I really love this roses are my favourite flowers so on seeing this 

top I had to nab it! I was a little worried that it would't suit me 

however when I tired it on I fell in love with it and found it actually rather suits me. 

White Arrow Aztec print top £5.99.

Love this top not only is it this season's must have tribal print 

but also fits in with the monochrome trend too. 

Black Denim Leggings, £12.99 

Sorry about the bad quality of this photo but I couldn't get a better one. 

I love these as they look like jeans but have the comfort of leggings. 

I also got a white and gold envelope clutch which 

I forgot to photograph. 

I got the clutch bag  to take for when I go to hen night next Friday

and also for when I go to a wedding next month. 

Have you brought anything nice recently?

Review: Olivia Accessories Black Snake Skin Clutch bag

Olivia Accessories is a unique online jewellery and accessories boutique. 

They offer a range of low cost quality items that combine

up to the minute fashion with timeless classic appeal. 

They are a small independent company who's philosophy is to keep prices 

as low as possible. 

I got to choose an item off the website and chose to go with this

gorgeous classic black snake skin clutch, £15.

The clutch comes in three colours Black, Brown and Red, and is a

must have fashion accessory. 

With an elegant snake skin exterior and age old rectangular shape

along with a removable silver shoulder strap 

and magnetic snap this is a must have

for the evening. 

As it was mine and Stuart's anniversary last night 

and we went out for a meal I chose to take this clutch 

with me to glam up my outfit a bit more. 

The only issue I had is that there was only room for

my mobile and a little card holder otherwise 

I found that it wouldn't shut. 

Other then that its smart and is ideal if you

don't want to carry much around.
