Freshly Printed in George at Asda!

Good morning and happy Saturday everyone!
Today I bring you some of my most favourite printed items ever. George at Asda has really knocked this season out of the park because not only are the pieces cute and fresh but the cuts and sizing are bang on too.


I am wearing a UK20 in each item and I would say it is all true to size and comfortable. 
I love these lemon trousers, from the Limoncello collection, so much because they are black so don't feel too wild ( I can still wear them to work) but still have the fun print. I would say its a mid rise s comfortable and they don't creep down.


Next up is this jersey lemon peplum top. I am obsessed with this lemon print as it's just so sweet and this peplum top with bow back amplifies the sweetness even more. I think it looks great with jeans and sneakers and really jazzes up what could be a really simple outfit.


Next up is this gorgeous scenic top with ties a the arms and a relaxed fit. I would say that if you are considering this top and want to maximise it's wear, order a size up and it will fit more like a tunic and will be amazing for the beach.
I attended the George at Asda press day not long ago where they showcased some of the amazing bits and bobs that will be appearing soon for Summer and you should all be super excited. The home wears are ultra cute and trendy and the clothing is right on trend with boho styles and cute prints to match.

Stay tuned for a giveaway this week with something lemony inside.

*Why Staying in a Spa Hotel is a Wonderful Idea*

Some people go on vacation and search for a budget hotel or something on the lower end of the scale. However, staying in a spa hotel could seriously take your vacation to the next level. There are plenty of reasons this is a good idea; just take a look at a few we’ve put together here!
Relax After a Long Day of Exploring
When on vacation, exploring all day long is the norm. Staying at a spa hotel is the perfect opportunity to relax after a long day of exploring. You can take a swim, chill out in the jacuzzi, or have a spa treatment. You’ll then be ready to do it all again the next day!
Get 5 Star Treatment
At spa hotels, the staff usually pride themselves on the treatment they offer. You’ll more than likely feel like a celebrity and get 5 star treatment from all of the staff. By just reading a few reviews online you’ll get an idea of who offers fantastic treatment.
Experience Treatments from Different Cultures
If your spa hotel is the Luxury spa in Muscat, for instance, you may be able to experience treatments from different cultures. Every country will perform treatments differently. You may never get another chance to get a back massage in, let’s say, a Swedish spa hotel. A great opportunity to enjoy spa treatments like a local.
Scenery
Have you ever spotted a spa hotel with bad scenery? I didn’t think so. There’s no such thing. All spas are surrounded by gorgeous flowers, plants, and gardens. There’s nothing better than looking out of your window to that every day. You can even take the time to explore the scenery and take pictures.
Gorgeous Decor
Spa hotels are also known for having gorgeous decor. If you want to live in luxury on your vacation, this is the way to do it. All spa hotels will have a different kind of theme, but they’ll all be wonderfully luxurious. Some may be more modern, others more traditional, but all of them will blow your mind.

Excellent Facilities
Want a hotel with the best facilities? You won’t be disappointed at a spa hotel. They’re sure to have everything you could possibly want, and more while you’re on vacation. It isn’t possible to leave one of these places feeling disappointed.
Great Food
Finally, spa hotels nearly always serve great food. You can usually get 3 course a la carte meals served to you for a good price if you’re a guest at the hotel. You’ll probably want to try other restaurants too, but make sure you eat at your spa.
Are you convinced that this is a good idea yet? Leave a comment!

Happy New Year And All That Good Stuff

Hello everyone and happy New Year!
Apologies first off for the silence over the month of January, but I promise I have a good excuse. I spent the best part of January in Canada with my fiance, Steven, visiting family and friends and showing him around Toronto. With all the excitement of being tourists and seeing everyone, I was completely wrapped up and busy and didn't spend much time near my computer. But, I am back in London now and have so much to share with you - so expect a busy February on here.
Before anything else - I have a few fun photos to share from our trip - it was cold, snowy and just so magical!
   Here is our couple selfie :)

We tried to cram in as much touristy stuff as possible, which included a trip to the frozen Niagara Falls - which I have never seen in winter. It was pretty neat to see the mist almost frozen mid air but the falls still pouring over with such a force.


After the falls we went to Buffalo and enjoyed girly pink martini's with our dinner.

While I was home, I also chopped off the awful mullet I was unintentionally growing. I look forward to getting to see my lovely stylist Laurie at Mad Factory Salon in Toronto because she always knows what to do with my mop.

Near the end of our trip, we were lucky enough to be invited to stay at a friends cottage up north of Toronto.  This is not far from the area that we are considering for our wedding, although it will be less snowy when we get married I hope. It became quite the adventure, when the weather took over and our car broke down, but we managed to have a fantastic time in the snow.

It was such a great trip, although it went way too quick, and it was so nice to see all my family and friends back home.
Have you been to Canada and jumped in this much snow!? Tell me about it!
