My holiday outfits

Evening,

So I might have mentioned that last month I was on holiday, yeah I'm missing the weather, but I thought I'd share with you two of the outfits I wore on holiday. Like most women I know, I always find it hard to pack for my holidays as I know if I don't pack something when I'm on holiday I'll wish I had packed it. (Yeah this happened). I did pack plenty of clothes, including dresses, here the two I packed.

A quick day to night wear outfit. Take away the legging and

denim jacket for my evening outfit.

Not much need to be added to this dress as its stunning

on its own. (From New Look summer sale last year)

I'll show you more of my dresses another time.

Love Lolly

Perfume Vera Wang - Lovestruck, floral rush

Readers,

Last month at this time I was away on Holiday, enjoying the sun shine, and having a peaceful fun time. While I was away I brought myself some new perfume, which I like to do whenever I go away. In the duty free, I like looking at all the different perfumes that are advertised on the TV or from magazines, therefore I had plenty to choose from. I decided on Lovestruck by Vera Wang, this has been promoted by Leighton Meester (Blair from Gossip Girl). The scent is floral, soft and a little sweet, not too over powering, so can be worn for any occasion. The bottle itself is very interesting, with a larger purple flower detail on the top with a ribbon as an added effect. Over all the bottle is very pretty, therefore will look nice on your dressing table, not to be hidden away in a draw. However the box is extra large to make sure all the flower detail is kept nice, so the perfume contained inside isn't that big.

Over all this is nice fresh perfume, a floral touch for any occasion.

Smell you later...

Love Lolly

New Large Bag

Hi all,

When I head off my holidays (I haven't got one plan yet for this summer) I like to take a large carry on bag with me. Keeping inside items of clothing as well as a spare pair of shoes, makeup, a book for the flight and other plenty of useful stuff. Yeah, I carry a lot, so its no surprise that my main carry on bag has fallen apart. Therefore when I was out shopping recently and came across s new bag, I just had to have it!!

From Sainsbury's only £14.

Pretty Nautical style bag, with a front zipped pocket, large handles. Zipped main part of the bag, with inner zip section and pocket for your phone.
I haven't got a holiday planned yet, but I though I'd get it while I saw it. As I wouldn't find one when I wanted it.

Love Lolly

One year since the Brits!

Hello everyone,

Well, officially tomorrow, will be one year since I was lucky enough to win a competition, that got me tickets for me and a friend to go to the Brit awards 2012. Well this year, like most people I will be watching the show from my sofa as I didn't find a golden ticket to go this year. However the line up looks like great entertainment, with performances from Robbie Williams, Emeli Sande, Mumford & Sons, Muse, Ben Howard, and One Direction, to keep you all glued to your TV. But what everyone is really waiting for is to find out who the winners and losers are on then night!! Well we will all just have to wait and watch to find out!! Who's going to steal the show? Not just awards but outfits too!
I know last year I had such an amazing time, I hope everyone who gets to go this year enjoys their night. I'll be watching wishing I could be there too.

Love Lolly

Theatre Show - Wicked

Hey,

Just thought I'd let you in a bit of knowledge i found out recently.... Well the hit West End show "Wicked" is going on tour next year!!! (If you can tell I'm a little EXCITED) I'm lucky that I've already seen the show on the West End not only once, but twice. The first time was a few years back when I went with a friend who had already seen the show, but had wanted to go again, also asking me to join her as she knew I would love the show, which I did. The second time was back in 2011 when a group of friends of mine organized a surprise trip to London and see the show for our friends birthday. I just sat back to enjoy the show all over again... This time singing along to the song too, but not to loudly.
Now for any of you that don't know what "Wicked" is about or who have never even heard of the show (Where have you been??? Under a rock?) Well it's based of the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West", a parallel novel of the film from 1939 "The Wizard of Oz" and the classic story by L. Frank Baum "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". Overall the show tell the witches tale, their point of view before Dorothy even arrives in Oz but also after Dorothy leaves back to Kansas. The show tells the tale of two unlikely friends in Elphaba (The Wicked Witch of the West) and Glinda (the Good Witch of the North), how they struggle to even become friends with their different points of view on life, their personalities, rivalry over the same man, but also their reaction to the Wizard and the secrets he is hiding. The story is told beautifully by incorporating music and song, I'm sure you will be singing long after you have left the theatre, including the most famous from the show, which has featured in TV shows such as Glee, "Defying Gravity". (This is my favorite song from the show, features a dramatic stage effects in the performance).

Well you might be asking what's my point in tell you all about this show, well as I've already said the show is touring next year, and its head to my local theatre in Milton Keynes. The tickets go on sale Wednesday 20th February 2013 (Today, the date I've posted this to the world) for the performances next year. I believe this is going to be a very popular show, so one you will want to book early to avoid disappointment. Therefore act early or you will miss out on the magic!

Hope you get a chance to see this wicked show!!

Love Lolly

The hairy bikers at Milton Keynes theatre

Evening all,

When my Nan heard that the hairy bikers where going to Milton Keynes theatre for two nights she wanted to go see them and find out some new recipes to cook. Well me being me, I thought she shouldn't go on her own, so me, my Mum and Gramp went too. Now, I have seen a few of their shows which are on the BBC and have enjoyed their style of entertainment as well as the mouth watering food they make. I've never tried any of their recipe,s but after watching their show I'd be happy to give one or two ago. I thought the show would be just them cooking, however it included many more laughs!! They presented short films about some of their trips including the different food they sampled... most that were very different from the day to day foods we enjoy such as bugs and Scorpio's. Dave and Si (both of the hairy bikers) got the audience involved with each item them were cooking asking people to sit down and eat the meal they had created, but also had members of the audience up to participate in games. They were both very cheeky chaps, who used a bit of bad language, but also showed you some fabulous food that you can create. You could tell that they had taken time and thought into creating a show for all to enjoy!

I now just need to find out one of their books and get creating some mouth watering food!

Love Lolly
