Weekend Haul

Over the weekend I got a few bits and bobs that I want to share with you. Sorry about the quality of the pictures, but I use my iPad to take them and when they get uploaded they go even worse. The first thing that I got was of course Zoella's Girl Online
                                   

I have already read it, but haven't bought it until just now. It was super good and I have pre-ordered Girl Online On Tour, which if you haven't I strongly recommend because they are awesome. There are many other books that I want to pre-order such as Abby Clements' Heavenly Italian Ice Cream Shop which is the sequel to Viviens Heavenly Ice Cream Shop (I mentioned these books in my favourites post). 
My next book purchase was Josephine Moon's The Tea Chest. Recently I have been loving foodie books and thought that this would be a great addition to my bookshelf (a place of many books that I still have to read because I have bought so many amazing books). 

                                 

Whilst in the shops I got Insurgent the DVD, because I just love the book series. I have the whole series and the first Divergent movie. I went with some friends to the cinemas to see Insurgent and being honest, I was a little disappointed. Some of my friends hadn't read the books and they thought it was great, but when you have read the books, know the characters, know what is supposed to happen and understand why the things happen, the movie can be a bit of a letdown. But with all that said, I still enjoyed it and, hey I have bought the movie so it can't be that bad. 

      

You may have noticed the bed covers in the background of the pictures and this is because I got a new quilt cover set. I don't have a picture of it but I may have attached one from the internet by the time I post this. Whilst in the stores I saw so much rose-gold items I felt I had to buy some. Unfortunately, it doesn't really go with my bedroom and I already have too much stuff. I saw a really nice Typography saying that "A day spent without laughter, is a day wasted". I felt I could picture it in Zoella's house. Then next item that I bought were some nice little party lights to hang in my bedroom. I have seen heaps of these around, but I really did like these particular ones.


To go with my new lighting, I got a new lamp & lampshade. Recently, I outgrew my old lamp shade so I had been on the hunt for a new one. The lamp has a really nice part to it where it has two glass bubble bits on the middle so it looks a bit like a snow mans body. This is the lampshade to go on top of the lamp.

I got my cat a new bed because he doesn't like his old bed anymore. I don't know why but I think maybe he gets a little squished in it. I bought it for him as a birthday present because his birthday is coming up soon. Yes, I am the kind of person that buys my pets birthday cards and presents. 

My final item was a colourful wool for making scarves and blankets out of. In the winter months I like to knit and I find that lots of my really good wools go really quickly and I am left with the block coloured ones. This is a nice assortment of blues that will make really nice knitwear. 


The thing that I also love about this wool (that I didn't realise until I got home) was a little message on the side of the packaging. 


Thank you very much for reading and look out for my next post! Xx
