The mysterious Topshop delivery 

18/02/2017

I was minding my own business at work (tending to my many emails) on Friday when I got a text through from Hermes to say my Topshop parcel was being delivered between 9 and 1. 
I was really puzzled as it was the Friday before payday and I definitely didn’t have the money to be buying things from Topshop. So to make sure I hadn’t lost my mind, I had a look through my online banking (debit and credit card), checked my Topshop account (because I obviously have one being the ultimate Topshop clone), but nothing. 
I guessed someone had entered the wrong phone number on their order and got on with my day. 
So I get home from work (a bit earlier than usual as Aaron left me some dodgy ham for my wrap that day which made me have a bit of a dicky tummy – although he thought I was being dramatic as he eats it all the time and was fine) and find a Topshop parcel in the living room. 

I look at Aaron and ask him deadpan if he ordered me something – I definitely did not. He hadn’t and wasn’t convinced it wasn’t me as I have a tendency to order a lot online and pretend that I’ve had whatever I bought for ages (you tell me about a girl that doesn’t do this – they’re probably a lot better at hiding things than I am 😉).
The only other person I could think of was my mum, she’d left a comment on my last blog post saying something like “Oooh shopping list!” So I thought I’d drop her a message and try it on! 

I absolutely love this jacket and was so excited to have it! But it was bothering me that my mum wasn’t replying! 
Low and behold, a few hours later I get a reply;

Sneaky mother had only gone and ordered me the gorgeous jacket! 
So, shout out and thank you Mummy! Love you lots and can’t wait to see you next year for our wedding! 
Until next time…

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds
Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
