World Map Watch - £2.50 (eBay)

Over the past few months I've turned myself into some sort of watch fiend, I literally am obsessed! I am still head over heels in love with my Armani watch I received for Christmas a few years ago, but I felt like a change and decided to go for something a little different. I'd had my eye on this watch over on the Urban Outfitters website, but being the savvy saver I am decided to turn to good old eBay for alternatives. I'm always a little wary on ordering from anywhere that isn't UK registered on eBay, just for the pure fact that its harder to return things if there are any problems.

I decided to be brave and order from China, and overall I'm really impressed! My watch arrived within two weeks of purchase and was all in working order, and for that price I guess you can't really complain! I actually prefer my cheaper watch to the Urban Outfitters version as the face seems to be a bit bigger and there's really cute detailing on the hands of the watch.

It won't take place of my Armani baby, but it's definitely cute and I think I'll be wearing it a lot day to day.

I'm Loving... Statement Necklaces

1. Primark - £4.00 / 2. Primark - £4.00 / 3. Matalan - £8.00 / 4. Matalan - £8.00

I've gone a little necklace crazy recently and I can't seem to stop wearing them. I never used to really be a jewellery person apart from earrings, the odd Pandora bracelet and my watch... but I'd not really class them as jewellery. Recently I've been buying a lot of plain t-shirts and dresses and I've wanted to jazz them up a little, so I thought a good statement necklace would be the perfect thing. I bought the Matalan ones first from work and I've worn the gold spiked one to death, but today I took a little trip into Primark and found those absolute beauts! For half the price of a Matalan necklace combined they're amazing, and actually feel a lot better quality. I haven't taken the chunky Aztec one off since I bought it - it's definitely a favourite. Primark have some amazing statement necklaces at the minute and I think the most you'd pay is about £8.00, I'm definitely going to have to expand my collection.

My Pandora Love

As I've been thinking of how to start this post, I've been looking at my Pandora bracelet on my wrist and remembering how many memories it brings up. My boyfriend, Frazer, is a typical boy in saying that "they're only pieces of silver" but I guess to me each little piece of silver tells a story or makes me remember something. Two years ago I'd been the one who was like I need a Pandora bracelet, but now its sort of turned into something really nice for me. I don't really see them as something someone can buy me for Christmas or my birthday, I see them as something that's quite memorable.

I now have three bracelets, about 20 charms and two rings. I think its safe to say this little one-time thing has become quite the collection for me. I just love how I can look at a charm and think "so and so bought me this" or "I got that on this day" etc etc. I like anything that can bring up nice memories. I know this is quite the random post but I really love anything personal at the minute, and I know a lot of people will be able to relate to this.

Are you a Pandora fan? 

The Luckiest Girl

Double Leather Bracelet and Christmas Fairy Charm

I can see this turning into quite a soppy 'I love you' post which you all know I tend not to do a lot, or at all, but I think it may be due here. It was mine and Frazer's one year anniversary a week ago today (I did a little post here) and we both decided we weren't going to do the whole gift-giving thing just to purely save money. Instead Frazer cooked me a lovely meal and also took me out for dinner before, which I absolutely loved, but I couldn't resist not giving him anything. I made him a photo frame with lots of different photographs of us and he was so pleased with it, but he kept going on about how he hadn't bought me anything, bless him. Obviously we had agreed and I was just so pleased he had cooked for me and everything, so I really didn't need anything else...

Yesterday I received a strange phone call from him on my lunch break at work, asking for my postcode. I'm super suspicious all the time and could not get the reason out of him, which left me thinking all day. When I finally saw him last night he popped out a big Pandora bag and I was instantly both surprised and so excited! Well look what he bought me! I've been wanting a double leather bracelet for so long and he'd obviously picked up on that, as well as buying me the cutest fairy charm ever. The other two charms in the picture were ones that I was bought last Christmas, but because my silver bracelet is a bit full I decided to do a little move around. How cute!?

I really am the luckiest girl and probably quite spoilt but I absolutely love him loads and I can't wait for Christmas to buy lots and lots of nice presents. Also, I still don't know why he needed my postcode... he says I will find out in the next week. Any ideas?
