Finders Keepers

With birthday money in hand, off I trundled into town to track down a cute dress for a wedding later this month. I had signed up to the Harvey Nichols newsletter under the promise that I would get a 20% discount on fashion and accessories and so that was my first port of call!

I quickly found this adorable dress slinkilly wrapped around a mannequin and to my delight really loved the look of it when I tried it on. The brand is called Finders Keepers. I simply cannot wait to wear it in a couple of weeks time!

Picked up this little stunner in H&M last week.

Afternoon Tea In The West Country

I was treated to a lovely birthday treat by my friend Vicky last weekend, a surprise Afternoon Tea at The Manor House Hotel in the stunning village of Castle Combe in Wiltshire. It really is a beautiful place, approached by a long sweeping drive with a thickly wooded hill to the left and a quaint, bath stone country house to the right overlooking perfectly manicured lawns. We went inside, where we were shown to our table in a wooden panelled room with soft lighting and very comfortable chairs.

The afternoon tea itself was utterly delicious with probably the best selection of cakes I have ever seen for an afternoon tea. Delicious, dainty sandwiches of cucumber and soft cheese, smoked salmon and egg mayonnaise with a grand finale of scones, Bath Buns, clotted cream and home made jam. What an absolute treat!

Eau Thermale Avene

I am a little undecided abut this one. Eau Thermale Avene is (special) spring water in a spray can. As a dry, sensitive skinned person, I hoped this would be nice and soothing and do wonders for my skin. At the price I don't think it is the miracle it almost claims to be but it is jolly cooling on a hot day.

Baubles

So this is the first of my birthday purchases, a bold statement necklace from Zara. It is a weighty number but I love the fact that it is so huge.
