Percy Pig

I have been OBSESSED with Percy Pigs ever since I came to the UK for a holiday & to visit my boyfriend in 2011 when we were in a long-distance relationship. My cousin gave me a bag of them as a farewell present the day before I left and I absolutely loved them. I honestly don't know how I ever lived without them. I was always asking my boyfriend to send me more when I went back to Australia, but he never did *sigh*. 

So to cure my everlasting craving for them, I decided to move to the UK so I could have them whenever I want (and also to be with my boyfriend, but as you can imagine I was jaded for years because he never sent me any ;) ). 

What I want to know is this...

WHY DID NO ONE EVER TELL ME THERE WAS SO MANY??!?!!?

Granted if I knew I would have gone on a Percy Pig rampage through M&S before I left in 2011 and filled an entire suitcase with them, but that would have been acceptable, right?

There are so many and it makes me so happy, I feel like a little girl again. I'm going to try them all even if it takes me the rest of my life.

Walking on Sunshine

Just wanted to share some photos that I took a few days after arriving in England. My boyfriend and I went for a walk along the river near our house and saw loads of swans. It's so pretty and green here and I'm so happy.

I've decided to start a pine cone collection.
I collect one every time we go for a walk
(I do have a plan for them - but it's a secret)

Trend Alert: Popbasic

Lately I keep thinking to myself "it's so hard to afford a nice wardrobe". I get up every day and try to pick an outfit, and every day it's such a struggle. I have maybe one or two things that I really love, but they don't go with anything. Does this happen to anyone else? I'm always wanting to buy new clothes but I'm so picky and it's just so damn expensive.

A few weeks ago, as I was laying in bed in the early hours of the morning trying to plan an outfit for the day in my head (does anyone else do this?) when I stumbled upon this wonderful internet haven: Popbasic. 

Some gorgeous girls have teamed up and created Popbasic. They design basic and "pop" items. Each month they release a micro collection with three items to add to your wardrobe. The collection range from about $50-$100 (USD) with free shipping. This seemed like a lot to me at first, but the quality of everything is amazing. And I really like the idea of having something I can style with anything, and getting new things that become a staple. It's different to a subscription service because you are not locked into anything - so if you just want to get a collection once in a while, you can. Also, if you're not sure of how to style something in your micro collection, each parcel comes with a Style Guide to give you some ideas. 

To top off such a great service, the gals & guys are so lovely. They are always so friendly and super quick to answer any questions you might have. And they are always up for a chat. It so refreshing to see a company that is genuinely interested in getting to know you. 

So if you haven't tried Popbasic before and you think it's a wonderful idea like me, what are you waiting for?
