Because Sometimes...

Because Sometimes... by thebellejarblog featuring scented candles

Because sometimes I just need to be alone, and eat pizza, and drink hot chocolate, and watch girly movies in bed all cosy. I also invite a friend on the odd occasion!

I seriously love winter and love cosy nights in in my PJ's.

I love winter clothes, big jumpers and boots and stuff are the best but you just can't beat a good cosy pair of pjs and slippers or socks as the nights grow longer and colder!

I cant be the only one?!

Do you do this too?! 

What movies/snacks would you choose??

A Little Bit of Love...

I just thought I'd write a quick post on one of my favourite things in the world...underwear!

I love underwear so much, it just makes me feel so nice when I have pretty underwear on, even if no-one see's it! - (which they don't!)

But that's fine because it's about me. I have always struggled with having boobs. I've never been a fan of my own, they were okay when I was younger and they were a C/D, but now I've actually grown and I'm an E/F (depending on where I go) I struggle even more so, because finding nice underwear that doesn't look like my Nan's or finding a bra that doesn't look enormous and like you literally have brightly coloured scaffolding on is a battle when you're on a budget.

I tend to wait for the sales to buy my 'good bra's', because you get some really good ones for a fraction of the price! The Agent Provocateur sales are always pretty amazing!

Most of my underwear is black and I really like vintage inspired underwear, long lines, high waists etc.

Black is just mu colour I guess and I've actually found some pretty nice ones, I've picked up a few sets from George at Asda which are gorgeous but I'll get on with what I'm actually posting about here....

PRIMARK. Yes, Primark.

They have absolutely smashed the underwear over the last year or so, they did a gorgeous, luxury sort of range which they sold as separates, which is perfect for me because if I buy their sets, their bigger sized bra's also come with bigger sized bottoms which don't fit me so this was perfect! And they were perfectly priced, I think I paid no more than £7 for a bra.

I managed to pick up a few before my sizes in the bottoms were gone and they are amazing! They're so comfortable and actually wash well. I mean, I know they're not gonna last me years but hey! They're pretty, they fit and are super affordable so I don't mind repurchasing each season.

They also have upped their game when it comes to sets. I think the sets are around £5 which is amazing and they have loads of different styles and although the sets don't really come in my size, my friend is constantly stocking up and I get super jealous! But every now and then I'll come across a set that that does come in my size and it's like finding a really super, top secret, hidden gem! So keep your eyes peeled!

Head (SO) Over Heels

So, as I said I would do a shoe post, here it is!!

I thought I'd just put together a few of my favourite comfy shoes (trainers, mainly!),

These are the ones I tend to wear most often, however, I am a hoarder/clothes & shoes fiend so I do have more and I might feature some others in another post, maybe like my going out/special occasion shoes?!

We shall see!

Well here we go!

CONVERSE! I LOVE my Converse! I have the burgundy kinda ones on most days, I love them, and it's one of my faaavourite colours! Comfort and colour! yay!

Aaaand I also have them in black! (and white, and all black..)

OOOOO I just love my Nikes, they are soooo comfortable! I managed to get a 4.5 which is amazing because I'm usually a 4 but sometimes one foot feels a bit tight....anyone else?....just me? Anyway,these are my hero trainers, super comfy, cute and were £8.90!!!! Yes,£8.90 in the Nike outlet in Cheshire oaks. My sister has them too, couldn't leave them there for that price!

VANS. LOVE. I have a few pairs of Vans, I'm not really sure where I've put them though. My brother got me these for my birthday a few years ago, and believe me this is a good gift from him! He actually thought about what I might like! haha. 

AH my sweet, sweet Adidas Gazelles. I love that all the old style trainers are back, when I was a kid, I lived in trainers and jellies, but I loved trainers and I had some pretty similar to these when I was little but I think they may have been baby blue?! I got these for my birthday about 2 years ago. I'm glad I picked this colour and my mate tells me he likes the colour everytime I wear them haha.

Last but definitely by no means least, my Doc's. These need no explanation. They are just boss. I tend to wear them with dresses...how is that not girly?!?! 

WELL, there we have it, my favourite comfies!!

I love being comfortable and it doesn't mean I'm not girly! They're even colourful! - which I only just realised when I was writing this! haha!

Do you prefer comfort or will you handle the pain for the beauty? I wish I could but I'm a wimp! 

Moon Child

I am obsessed. I love the moon. Always have. My Mum loves it too and we always call each other if it's a particularly good moon or a full moon, our favourite is probably the waxing or waning crescent moon because I was convinced it was the cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland when I was a kid.

ANYWAY.

This isn't really about the moon.

This is about Boho Moon.

I came across this cute little jewellery site on Instagram, as I do a lot of little jewellery sites lately and I had been following them for a little while and had a look on the site and spotted a few items I wanted!

So, on Friday I think it was, I just decided to go order the stuff I wanted and just happened to check my Instagram before I did and there was a half price code!!! Was made up!

YAY for sales! And my items arrived super fast!! I ordered Friday night and they were here this morning! (Monday), and they were packaged really cute too, with little moon shaped confetti and everything!!

Oh, and did I forget to mention, delivery is only £1 no matter how much you order!! (within the UK, £5 flate rate to the rest of the world!)

Here is what I picked up!!

I'm in love with all of my pieces, especially the necklace because it just reminds me of my Mum and being little!

I should have gotten her a moon too, but I got her a compass, which she loves!

I was heartbroken that the Moonstone Poison Box ring was sold out. It's so beautiful!

But hey! guess I'll just have to keep checking back!

You should definitely check it out, they have some beautiful pieces and are so reasonably priced! Also keep an eye on their Instagram for discount codes! Their username is just @bohomoon 

Happy shopping! :)

....and yes, I'm loving piclab right now, still need to work my camera out!
