Recent buys that I love!

I did buy this stuff in Edinburgh! I guess it's a continuation from the other blog post.
There is more... this is not the last from the Edinburgh spends!

So I went into Zara (as usual) for the black bag with the rose gold latch! 
See it here!
I also went into the store for some black ballerina flats with little skulls on. So cute.
We searched for about 15 minutes but nope, all gone! I did ask the person wandering around doing nothing but she said they don't sell the bag anymore and that the shoes are only available on the website. Bah.
As we walked upstairs to look at clothes for my boyfriend... I remembered that I bookmarked a gorgeous bag on the website that also had a rose gold latch...
They had it! Yey!
It was £19.99 which is amazing for Zara. It isn't leather but I don't use or buy leather so I was so happy.
It's so spacious inside!


I also bought Cleopatra with Liz Taylor. It's one of my favourite movies! Amazing.
It cost me £5.00 from HMV.
Bargain!

Then we went to the Museum of Childhood and it was so cool! Lots of old games and dolls!
But the best part was the gift shop, of course!
This book is amazing! I love baking and I adore crafts and it's jam-packed full of all things to do with Alice in Wonderland.
I'll be using a lot of things in this book for my wedding when it eventually happens!

Hope you liked what I bought!

Our little Edinburgh adventure!

The Boy and I went to Edinburgh for a few days last week!
I absolutely hate my job so it was such a relief to hear those train doors closing and to feel the judder of the carriage as we set off.
The city is absolutely beautiful and I cannot wait to go back. I took about 600 pictures like the good, little tourist I am! There was just so much to capture in only 3 days.
Being the organised freak that I am... I made two A4 pages of lists so nothing was forgotten BUT I forgot my trust notebook at home so I had no checklist, no directions, no sketchy maps copied from google earth... just my wits. Shockingly, we didn't get lost.
Edinburgh is so easy to get around... I have zero wits about me!

We got a suite at the Radisson Blu hotel. It was so beautiful! Pricey but completely worth it.

We both spent way too much money there! Princes Street is soooooo long and soooo full of shops. We struggled to get all the way down. We tried (TWICE)!
It was so hot as well! Record temperatures for Edinburgh apparently.
I'll be doing a haul post tomorrow! It will be a very long one!
