Baby shower .

So after debating a career change to a wedding planner I tried out my event planning skills on my sisters baby shower. Shes due the 24th November and literally looks incredible, she deffinatley has the pregnant 'glow'!

I played down to her what I had planned, we both have worked in a tea room in the cotswolds for most of our teenage years so we were kindly told we could use the tearoom to host the party which worked so well as they have a cute little garden and it was such a nice evening!

I had a bit of an amazon haul and purchased bunting, paper straws, napkins, baby books and everything needed to make it look decorative. Me and my sister had been looking on pinterest and she had ideas of pink lemonade in jam jars, i told her this was abit far fetched for me to find 30 jam jars. but low and behold my mum told me she had loads in her cupboards!

They looked great, after some additional ribbon around the necks so they looked less like the bolognaise jars they were and more like drinking glasses. 

The cake was made by our neighbour who is so talented shes made all of our birthday cakes as a kid (and it was so yummy). The little cupcakes were bought by my sisters friend. They were both REALLY yummy and for a girl thats not supposed to eat dairy I may have had a slice (or seven). I now have a house full of cake that keeps staring at me!

We had a few activities planned including 'sign the nappy' leaving a message for my sister when she was changing the baby, a guess the celebrity baby name, guess the weight, date and time of birth and a few keepsakes for a baby book.

She got SO many nice presents, we were all sat there going 'omg' 'aw' 'so cute' for a good half an hour. Everythings so tiny and pink, she was spoilt rotten!

 I'm currently working part-time in a hairdressers and they were lovely enough to curl my sisters hair for her before the evening. It looked so nice with a natural wave!

It was such a nice evening and I cant wait for the little princess (shes having a girl) to arrive. I thought I would be broody but I'm okay with my puppy for now! The night ended with a rare sister sleepover!

Panic buy .

So we all know that feeling when its late at night, you check your emails and ASOS have sent you a discount code and obviously your so impatient you HAVE to order before 10pm to get next day delivery so you have a few mad hours looking through everything on the site! Thursday evening I recieved a code for 25% off student discount. Now I'm only a student for another 15 days therefore i obviously had to make the most of this! I had my sisters baby shower on the saturday (post to follow) and therefore needed a cute outfit.

I ordered a few items I've had in my saved items however sadly most of the items had gone out of stock boooooo. However I did still manage to find a large box full of purchases...

I absolutley LOVE this Monki jumper, its so thick and cosy too, purchased some high waisted black jeans cant wait for winter to come already! This was an absolute bargain at £14.00

This grey jumper is a great casual wardrobe staple piece, debating getting it in black too now as its so comfortable! £22.00 before discount.

These were in a pack of two (Even though i need to send these back as unfortunatley my boobs are too big for this size!) they were £20.00 before discount for the pack of two! I love the cut and colours of these tops! 

This draped cardigan is such a great fit - really wish they did it in black! This was £28.00 before discount!

The ones that didn't make the cut:

This warehouse denim skirt is so nice, just a little too long for me I felt slightly like I was going to church. If it was just below the knee I would of kept it! £24.00 in the sale!

I absolutley loved this jumper dress online but it just didnt look right on me! This would of been a bigger splurge anyway at £38.00!

After having a mango jumper dress in my wardrobe for years I thought I would try another one however this white one was not very flattering. They only had a size L left and with my boobs it just hung off me and made me look humungeous! This was £14.99 before discount.

For my sisters baby shower I ended up wearing the draped pink cardigan with a white vest tee and topshop jeans (which I have 'borrowed' from my sister until after she has had her baby hehe). 

Has anyone else been buying from asos lately?
