¡Hola!

It's mad to think that in my last outfit post I was convinced it was winter from there on out, but the heat really has picked up again. This is what I wore one day early last week when I did a spot of vintage shopping and went to an American diner for lunch (I may have a review coming soon).

This dress I picked up in the Topshop sale, and although I was pretty underwhelmed by it's sale price, I have to keep reminding myself that the prices aren't in English pounds, so it actually isn't so bad. When I noticed it,  I loved the pattern and was pleasantly surprised when it didn't look as awful on as I had thought it would. Because I'm quite tall (5ft 11) it's sometimes hard for me to find dresses that are acceptable to wear in the day and aren't ridiculously short, and I think I hit jackpot with this one! I think it'll look great in the colder months too with tights, boots and a big old cosy wooly jumper.

The bag and shoes are pretty much my new favourite things and I wear them with every outfit I can. The shoes are extra comfy and the bag fits in all the crap that a girl could ever need in her bag! I'm definitely guilty of filling big bags with rubbish that you will never and have never needed whilst you're out, but it just feels wrong to have a near empty big bag, right?

I'm still finding it hard being in front of the camera when I am usually behind it, so my next few outfit posts may still involve a couple of awkward looking faces.

Thanks for reading again!

¡Hasta Luego!

Lush Bath Bombs - Mini Haul

I must admit, I have never really shown much of an interest in Lush. (Please don't let this be a queue for you to stop reading, you avid Lush fans!) When I moved to uni and finally had one round the corner to me, you'd have thought that I'd live in it like I managed to with other shops such as Primark, Topshop, H&M, Boots... I'm sure you get the picture!

I think only a couple of months ago I tried my first bath bomb from there, bought for me by one of my lovely friends and since then and getting back into blogging I feel a lot more interested in trying products from the brand. 

So today when walking into Lush in Tribunal, Madrid, I found it pretty daunting when trying to understand what all the products were because I'm the worst international student and can't understand Spanish.

So, I thought the easiest and probably the most fun thing for me to try was the bath bombs. I went straight over to them and felt slightly overwhelmed by the stacks of amazing smelling glittery and powdery shapes. I sadly had to limit myself and so I picked these three up...

Space Girl | €3.40 | £2.35

I felt like I had read about this product previously, or at least seen/heard people raving about it. It smells all yummy and fruity and the glitter is a really cut touch. (I'm sort of hoping, though, that I won't come out the bath covered in red glitter, I need some reassurance on this one guys?!) It also has popping candy that is supposed to fizzle when you drop it into the bath... sounds exciting!

Butterbear | €3.95 | £1.95

I couldn't resist picking up this friendly little chap. I'm not even sure how to put the smell other than clean. The smell just reminds me of vanilla hand creams, and moisturisers. Lets go with that shall we! Anyway, it has cocoa butter which I'm sure will leave my skin feeling silky smooth and fresh!

So White | €4.95 | £3.50

One of their Christmas bath bombs, a white outside with what looks like a cheeky pink centre trying not to peep out. It smells floral, really refreshing but also soft and delicate. This one, as far as I can tell without using them,  is my favourite. I like that it isn't too fussy looking like some of their others and I think the sweet smell will be really calming. 

I hope you have enjoyed this post and you may see a review on them in an 'empties' post some time soon, maybe?

What's your favourite Lush products? Is there anything you can recommend to a newbie like me?

I really hope you've enjoyed this post and I hope you look forward to the next post as much as I do!
