August Favourites


Happy Friday! So I've managed to get my August faves up just very slightly sooner than my July ones. Most of these I unfortunately can't link you to, but hopefully you'll be able to find them in a store near you! 


I have been a huge fan of Jo Malone since I discovered the brand around 5 years ago! I love to layer their scenes and create my own combinations and I recently went to their store in Jarrolds Norwich and tried out some some fragrances. I ended up taking home this Body Creme in Wood Sage & Sea Salt. I remember smelling the cologne when it first came out and thinking it was nice but I wasn't sure if it was me. However I tried it in the body creme in store and was in love. I prefer how the creme smells on my skin and it's lovely layered with my favourite Nectarine Blossom & Honey


I think this sweatshirt is now sold out but there is a whole bunch of other pieces made in the soft and sexy fabric and I may just have to pick up some more! This might be the softest thing I have purchased in a long time. It's super snuggly and was perfect for the chiller Summer evenings. I'll still be wearing it all the way through Autumn and probably into Winter too. It's a perfect year round piece. 

San Pelligrino Lemonades

A bit of a random one but these lemonades are my favourite. They come in a whole bunch of flavours but the lemon and blood orange have been my favourite this Summer. My Mum got me a whole bunch of these for my birthday and it has kept as stocked for the entire Summer. I try not to drink too many sugary drinks but these I have a weakness for! 


I probably didn't need another straw bag in my life, but who am I kidding this one had to join my collection. It was from H&M so it was super affordable and while it's not the strongest straw bag I own I think it'll last a few Summers. I was drawn to this bag because of the drawstring pouch inside, that also just happened to be blue and white stripes. I love basket bags but sometimes I worry I am going to spill all of my things everywhere so this one helps keep all my belongings safe. This bag kept selling out in store and online so I had to keep checking back for a good few weeks before I managed to grab one! 

Aldi Fig Garden Candle 

Diptyque candles are one of my favourites but I only have a few that were purchased as very special treats as they are out of my normal budget. I've always wanted to own one their big candles....maybe one day. This Summer Aldi had a special buy on these candles that can be used outdoors or indoors. I think they were £8 or £9 and since I haven't burnt mine yet I can't comment on how fragranced they are but for decoration you can't beat the price tag. I love the simple classic design and they look lovely on a coffee table or by a fireplace. 

Cat Necklace {Birthday Gift}

My last favourite for August is this beautiful necklace I was gifted from my friend Laura for my birthday. I love the sweet little cat design and every time I wear it I am reminded of Bella and also Laura. I had sent Laura a similar penguin one for her birthday and so these are like a grown up friendship necklaces to us now. 


So that was my little round up of the things I was loving in August and I will be back in a couple of weeks with my September Favourites! I would love to here what some of your Fall Favourites are so I can give them a try too.
