Yesterday me and Sean had a little trip to the Sealife Center in Birmingham. We love this place, it was even where we had our first proper date, and we had a really good time!

This time around we spent all morning and afternoon looking at hundreds of gorgeous little sea animals. My favorite by far were the tiny two month old turtles, they were just so sooo cute! After we'd finished here we went for a bit of shopping in Primark and New Look, and I got a couple new things which I will post about tomorrow.

Sean the cutie, bought me a little turtle soft toy and some gorgeous roses, which look just beautiful on my desk. When we had finished our little shopping trip we went to get some yummy pub grub and finished the night with a lovely cold bus journey home.

WEEKLY WISHLIST | NEW LOOK EDITION

So I  had a little shopping trip today and this is what I bought. I love this cowgirl type top from River Island so much and even though it's getting colder I'm sure I'll get lots of wear out of it, and for a tenner I couldn't say no.

I also treated myself to a very fluffy jumper. This wasn't the jumper I originally wanted but when I saw it in New Look and felt that gorgeous fluffy material I had to have it, plus I got my student discount on it.

Now this bag I have been after for a while. I first saw it on the River Island website but I thought it would be best to see it and try it on before I bought it and I'm so glad I did because its just so gorgeous in real life! I've always loved River Island bags but this one really is special!

WHAT I BOUGHT | 22/9/2013

So guess what finally came in the post this morning?! Yep, they lovely MArc Jacobs Dot perfume i ordered last week. This wasn't the one i originally wanted. Originally I wanted Honey by Marc Jacobs, but when I tired them both in Duty Free last week I thought Dot smelt much nicer. I didn't want to pay the £56 price tag at the airport so as we were waiting to take off I had a quick look on Amazon and found it for the much better price of £42 and I ordered it then and there on the plane.

It came a little bit later than expected but when I opened the package I couldn't be disappointed. It came in a gorgeous black and red spotted box, and the perfume bottle itself is just fantastically designed.

I love the smell and everything about it, although this won't be an every day perfume and I will keep it for special occasions as I think it's slightly pricey. Overall I would definitely recommend it as both the scent and the bottle are gorgeous!

PRODUCT REVIEW | MARC JACOBS DOT

I whacked this little outfit on after a very busy day in beautiful Barcelona. The day was spent exploring every inch of the city, even though we didn't have too much time. We actually walked our way around the city, even though using public transport would have meant we could have seen more of it, but I'm happy with what we did get to see.

During the day we stopped for drinks at the Hard Rock Cafe which was amazing and full of memorabilia! We opted for a non-alcoholic beverages however as we just couldn't hack a proper cocktail in the heat! I can see myself visiting so many more Hard Rock Cafes in the future as they're just such fun bars!

We also visited the Sagrada Familia on our day trip, though we didn't go inside as we probably wouldn't have had time. After taking a few photos outside that beautiful building we decided to walk up to Park Guell which absolutely killed us but was SO worth it. We strolled straight inside for a wander around, though I'm sure you are meant to buy tickets? Either way no one asked us to show a ticket so we carried on in and enjoyed wandering around this beautiful park!

Playsuit, New Look, £19.99. Belt, Primark £1. Bag, A shop in Pineda €7. Shoes, New Look £7.99

Once we finally got back to our hotel, after a short train ride, I quickly popped this outfit together and headed down for dinner. I think this is my favourite outfit from our week away in Pineda De Mar, I just love this playsuit! I also decided to wear my new handbag again which I purchased a few days before in the town.

And that's all the OOTD's I have left from my wonderful holiday, but I'm sure i'll be taking loads more soon!
