My favourite time of year is here again! Yes, it's time to reach for the gloves, over-do it with the knitwear and purchase 132 pairs of black boots that are ever so slightly different from one another... because, why not? I LOVE Autumn and Winter - mainly due to the fashion, I love wrapping up in a million layers and popping on a favourite pair of boots! Fashion this year is on point so I thought I'd share with you lovely lot the bits I'm ordering, popping into my saved items/wishlist and pretty much just drooling over! #prayformybankaccount
Every season, every event - there's always some fun Disney bits and bobs to go alongside and make it that little bit more fun - Christmas obviously being the BEST time. I love Christmas and I love Disney so what better than Christmas themed Disney stuff - I've found the best of the best and popped it all into a post right here for you guys..... I know you guys love these!
This dotty little number is from Eastpak - a well recognised and loved maker of backpacks... you guys must recognise their little logo on the pocket there! I love how comfortable this bag is - it has a padded back which is probably my favourite feature, it makes it so much nicer to wear. The backpack features the large inner compartment and the zipped front pocket (the best place for your lipgloss and keys!) and can fit so much in!
The dotty pattern is great, being black and white makes it subtle but the spots give it that something different about it - I don't think I'd like it as much if it was just plain black. It is priced at £40 (here), which is great fo the quality - you can tell it's durable and has so many uses! (There's got to be a style/colour/pattern out there for everyone!)
My 3 top uses for a backpack :
1. Overnight stays
We all like to have night's away from home, I still regularly have sleepover's with my best friend (even though we are in our 20s) and this is the handiest way to take all my essentials! My handbags are never big enough and I don't want to be taking 5 different bags to pop out for the night so this is perfect.
I took a backpack to London earlier this year when I went to see Taylor Swift and it was the perfect size for everything I needed.... and I don't pack light I tell ya!
2. Hand luggage
Ooooo even writing that has made me want to go on holiday! But yes, hand luggage is always a tricky one for me. You have most of your bits and bobs in your suitcase but you still what those few important bits with you.... I mean I never trust my make-up going in the hold.... what if they loose?!
Backpacks make travelling so much easier, you are already carrying your passports, your tickets etc etc so it's nice to just have a backpack to pop on and not worry about having something else in your hands or on your arm!
3. Shopping
If you hadn't heard yet.... it's now 5p for a carrier bag here in England! I've spotted so many people wearing backpacks round town now and it's such a good idea, especially if you are picking up a small food shop! Plus it's alot easier to carry home!
What do you think? Do you guys own any backpacks?

Yes that title has alot of F's in it.... but who doesn't love a bit of alliteration eh?!
I don't know about you guys but I am the worst for buying my annual Christmas fashion piece. I always seem to leave it to the last minute (aka 2 weeks into December) and either all the ones I like are out of stock or are totally out of my size! So I've decided to get looking a little earlier this year.... it's crazy how much Christmas stuff is around already but everyone seems to be in the festive spirit by late September these days, so here's a few bits I've spotted so far.... I MUST get that Mickey sweater!

Since my Morrocanoil has run out and I'm way too poor to buy anymore I have been using this hair oil alot more. I bought this originally as I saw Gabby (VelvetGh0st) raving about it in one of her favourites videos! I love this stuff, it smells amazing, keeps my ends feeling soft and decreases frizzyness in my crazy mane!
Liz Earle Skin Tonic
I use this stuff every morning and every evening and without it I feel lost! I definitely rely on this tonic to keep my skin feeling fresh and clean! It is the perfect product post make-up removal and I haven't yet found anything like it that works as well.
Glow In The Dark Disney Sweater
I got this in Florida back in September and I love it so much. I love getting home after work in the winter and cosying up in a sweater and pj bottoms! I have been wearing this and my Planet Hollywood sweater constatnly, they are so warm and comfortable!
Horrible Bosses 2
My friend Megan & I went and saw this last week and we literally laughed from start to finish. At some point I remember putting my hand over my mouth as I was being so so loud..... luckily there was only about 4 other people in the screen with us! A great sequel.... and Jennifer Aniston is still as hot as ever!
ANTM - Cycles 19 & 20
Finding America's Next To Model on a certain forgein Netflix was both a blessing and a curse. I have been obsessed with this show ever since it started but I had missed the last couple of cycles. So when I spotted it on there I knew that the rest of my week was occupied. I'm as hooked as ever, I love Tyra so much.
The Library Of Fragrance - Christmas In New York
You may have already seen my review of this but I had to include it in this post! I love Christmas and this scent makes me feel so jolly! To read more about it click here to see my review.
Farley's Rusks
Okay.... random purchase alert! I decided to pick these up last week when I saw they were on offer, I remember them being so yummy when I was a kid and I thought they'd be better for me than the million biscuits I decided to eat weekly! They are still so yummy but... don't dunk them in your tea - they aren't strong enough to cope with it!
Fifth Harmony - Bo$$
I loved these girls on The X Factor USA and was so pleased to see them on the UK show last week! This song is awesome, I've had it on repeat along with their song Sledgehammer all week - they remind me of a mini Pussycat Dolls, which is definitely a band that we need right now!
