Much like with makeup I enjoy being savvy when it comes to clothing! For me, there's nothing like grabbing a bargain or finding good value pieces.
My favourite online shop for this is without a doubt ASOS. I've had a premier delivery account for 3 or 4 years running now because free* next day delivery is amazing and I often browse for bargains when I have a free minute or can't sleep - it's a habit, but a good one!
Walt Disney Vintage Style Donald Duck T-Shirt (£5.99)
I think most Disney lovers own at least one piece of themed clothing. For me, that's always pyjamas and t-shirts. One the whole I go for the cute factor, shopping at Primark mainly, but there's something about vintage Disney that looks more grown-up and put together. The listing includes a few different vintage-style designs from Donald to Mickey, in various colourways. Something a bit different to the standard Disney tees around!
Aristocats Floral Phone Case - Fits iPhone models (£4.95)
As you may know, I do love a cheap phone cases from eBay! This disney themed cover caught my eye in particular as it's just so darn cute with the floral and cat mix. Plus you don't often see Aristocats merchandise! Not the cheapest phone cover on eBay but still a bargain at under £5.
The Face Shop Disney The Little Mermaid Sheet Face Mask (£2.58)
Although pretty rare on eBay I managed to track down a lovely sheet mask from The Face Shop, who recently collaborated with Disney! I've already tried the Snow White whitening face mask and loved it, so I'm sure this hydrating mask with The Little Mermaid theme will be just as good. The sheet mask sadly isn't Disney themed in any way other than the packaging but The Face Shop is a good brand and the novelty of it along with the cheap price makes it worth snapping up if you're a Disney fan!
Inspirational Disney Quotes A4 Print (£3.50)
I absolutely love coming across crafty sellers on eBay that are offering something handmade at a reasonable price! This seller (view her other amazing prints here) may have created the cutest and most uplifting Disney themed print I've come across. A4 in size and available in 4 different colours, however, she does state you can get in touch if you want something slightly different. Perfect for pinning up, framing or giving as a gift!
Alice in Wonderland Cushion Covers - 9 designs (£2.46)
Again, another none-typical Disney find that is more sophisticated and stylish. Slightly more Lewis Caroll than Disney these Alice cushion covers come in a wide range of designs and would be perfect for anyone that loves the book. Really unique and quite expensive looking.
Alice in Wonderland Floral Embroidered Handbag (£13.99)
Sticking with Alice in Wonderland, I came across the cutest handbag! Very on trend with the floral embroidery and again with quite a grown-up feel to it. This comes in both white and black and includes a gold chain strap with a matching gold hardware clasp. Featuring Alice and the rabbit along with floral embroidery this looks like a lovely detailed bag.
Beauty and the Beast Toddlers Jelly Pumps - 5 styles (£7.99)
If only my feet were tiny! I seriously wish these wonderful jelly flats came in adult sizes! These are just the most gorgeous children's shoes I've ever seen, perfect for toddlers and babies. From Mrs. Potts adorning the front in both white pearl and rose gold or Belle's rose in pink, black or yellow, these are all just perfectly designed. Love, love, love!
Bambi Dream and Wishes Mug (£8.99)
Not a total bargain at just under £10, but if like me you collect Disney mugs then this may be a tempting one to add to your collection! A beautifully shaped mug featuring a sketch-style Bambi, along with little stars and clouds. Really well done with such a feminine dainty design.
Vintage Alice in Wonderland Mover Poster - A4 or A3 (£3.94/£7.94)
This was the listing that made me decide I needed to put together an eBay Disney Finds blog post! Finding something unique and for such a cheap price is what eBay is all about for me. This is such a lovely reproduction print of the original Alice in Wonderland poster from 1951 that when framed (Ikea and The Range offer a huge range of cheap frames) would just look amazing. If you haven't of guessed, Alice in Wonderland is a favourite of mine so I'm very tempted with this vintage movie poster bargain find!
The Little Mermaid Style Necklace (£2.50)
Technically not Disney but it may as well be. This is such a lovely cheap necklace that would make a lovely gift or a little treat for yourself. With a silver finish, this surprisingly looks less kitsch or child-like than a few other eBay listing I came across. Another a fab bargain!
Minnie Mouse T-Shirt - various colours (£4.69)
A simple Minnie Mouse tee here that isn't anything new but comes in 4 different colours and is pretty cute if you ask me! Featuring a cute looking Minnie hiding behind her signature polka dot bow this should appeal to most Disney lovers! As the eBay listing is international I would suggest sizing up due to generally smaller sizes.
If you're a fellow Disney fan let me know what you love here!
I think my favourite finds have to be the original Alice in Wonderland poster and the incredibly lovely Beauty and the Beast jelly shoes... even if they are children!
Fee xo.
A pretty sign that would fit in any room and quite a nice size at 36cm long. This could just be decorative or be uses to hang necklaces from. Really lovely. The seller also sells a huge range of the prettiest wedding/party supplies and other nice decor pieces.
Treat Yo Self Gold Cushion Cover (plus other designs) £2.72
I absolutely love coming across listings of amazing cushion covers. These are so affordable and come in 11 designs. Perfect for using with your own cushion inserts or picking up a few for under £3 from Tesco. My favourite design has to be 'Treat Yo Self' however the listing has a gold palm print design which I have my eye on!
Moroccan Gilded Hurricane Lantern £6.99
This may just be the nicest looking tea light holder I've ever come across. Very authentic looking and unique. Lovely to display on a shelf or sideboard or outside with a tea light candle during the summer months.
Gold Flower Spoon (lots of designs) 99p each
I'm all about bargain finds like these! Totally unneeded but oh so pretty for tea, ice-cream, soup, you name it! I think my favourite has to be the rose gold sunflower 1 design. Available in 8 different designs in rose gold, gold and silver.
Gold Wire Ball Fairy Lights (battery operated) £4.99
eBay has the widest range of fairy lights imaginable and although it's was tempting to share with you some novelty lights I was drawn to these dainty wire ball lights that can be manipulated to fit around anything due to the wire cable. These would look amazing anywhere!
120 Gold Polka Dot Wall Stickers (£4.99)
Vinyl Wall stickers are such a clever idea to dress up a wall, especially if you rent. This large pack of polka dot stickers come in over 20 different shades including gold and copper. Perfect for an office or nursery I'm thinking.
I Can't Adult Today Mug (£7.75)
Not such a bargain, but something I was drawn to none the less, because this is me most days! I'm a collector of mugs in general and love the tankard style of this one. I also like the addition of the gold foil lettering hence why it had to go in this eBay finds post.
Gold Key Design Jewellery Stand (£7.99)
Another gold decor piece I love the look of here. This could either be for jewellery or in fact keys I'm thinking. I already own a jewellery tree and have to say they are a very handy thing to have opposed to a jewellery box where necklaces and bracelets become a tangled mess.
Gilded homeware fits into all style of decor from classic silver to gilded gold and of course on trend rose gold - which finish do you prefer?
Fee xo.
Happy Easter everyone, whether you celebrate it or not I hope you're all having a lovely weekend!
If you are new to my Weekend Links series, which you most likely are seeing as I only start this series last week, then welcome! This is just a fun little series I decided to start to share any links and loves with you that I've had over the past week.
This week I've been...
If you read Makeup Savvy often then you will know that I love cheap phone cases from eBay. Actually, I just love eBay! What's not to love?!
I'm always cautious about starting a new series on my blog, let's just say I don't have the best track record and have been known to forget about them a few blog posts in. But the idea of a relaxed post each weekend where I can share blog posts I've been loving that week, and basically whatever else I want, is something I hope I can stick with!
I hope you enjoy this new laid-back link series!
This week I've been....
Today I fancied changing it up a bit and talking cheap stationery supplies!
I may keep it quiet with all my makeup talk but I'm a total stationery addict. Actually, I take that back... I'm just a pretty notebook hoarder. I literally can't help myself! So today I thought I'd share my favourite places to shop for cheap but stylish stationery.
Apologies in advance if this makes your bank balance a little lighter!
I vividly remember the day I uttered the words "Do you think my anxiety could turn into Schizophrenia?". I remember where I was, even the weather, and exactly how I was feeling. Utterly trapped. I guess that's when I knew I had to do something about the state of my mental health.
That was 3 days after my first experience with Dissociation/Derealisation (explanation here) and nearly 7 years ago now, which seems an eternity ago yet like only yesterday. It was the most hellish 3 hours of my life and I could only describe as feeling totally disconnected/detached from my body. I remember not recognising myself in the bathroom mirror, and at that stage of drunk where you don't want to be drunk anymore. The problem: I wasn't drunk. I'd woken up suddenly in the early hours of the morning with a total unknown self of being and thoughts of 'What if this is it? What if I'm actually going mad?'. But I wasn't going 'mad'. Dissociation, although extremely unsettling can happen to anyone, especially those suffering from anxiety or extreme stress and thankfully doesn't last long. It's now something I wish I'd been aware of and believe it needs to be talked about much more. But that's a whole other blog post!
That's when I decided to do the 'right' thing; I took myself off to the doctors. Actually no, it took me months and numerous attempts. Even then I remember my sweaty palms and increasing heart rate as I sat in the waiting room wondering if I should just forget it and buy a book on mindfulness from Amazon instead. Another side note: There's probably going to be a lot of side notes! I joke. Actual side note: This isn't a story about how I cured my mental health problems with medication and therapy through the NHS (although that is an option and a good one for many) but a journey of discovery & kindness.
Guilt-free shopping! One of my most favourite posts to put together! All eBay items below include free delivery and no taxes are ever incurred. Happy shopping!
1. Cactus/Succulent Keyring 99p HERE
Okay, how cute?! If you are loving the cactus trend then you may want to snap one of these up. I went for two as I couldn't decide which to go for. These look well made from the thicker metal ring and the extra accessory next to each plant is just adorable. I'm sure I will be picking up a few more in the future as Birthday presents. One of my favourite finds here!
2. Set of 4 Eyeshadow Blending Brushes 99p HERE
I own 3 sets of these eyeshadow brushes now because they are just fab for the money. I use them for blending out eyeshadow of course but also as concealer brushes and I can say that they're soft and blend product well. Ideal if you want extra eye brushes but without the cost.
3. Floral Design Post It Notes 99p HERE
Quirky stationery is always fun so when I came across these I knew I had to include them. These floral memo pads come in 8 different designs and would look nice on any desk.
4. Metal Animal Hair Grips 99p HERE
Another favourite find here! This listing includes the most gorgeous detailed hair grips I've ever seen. From origami designs to detailed animals there's a wide range to pick from. I also really like these geometric tortoise hair clips along with this set of 2 gold bee hair clips which I decided to buy.
5. Silicone iPhone cases 99p HERE
It wouldn't be a 99p eBay finds post without including a few phone cases. If you have followed my eBay posts for a while you will know I'm slightly obsessed when it comes to 99p cases - I just can't get enough of them! The listing includes 30 on-trend designs that fit nearly all iPhone models. They are also made from silicone which means they are easy to take on and off but still protect your phone well.
6. Heart-Shaped Powder Brush 99p HERE
An ultra cute makeup brush find here! Very kawaii/sailor moon inspired I'm feeling and something I couldn't resist snapping up... again! Made from cruelty-free nylon fibres the brush looks soft and well made and I can't get over the soft lilac handle with the pink!
7. Dainty Pineapple Necklace 99p HERE
Often jewellery can be a bit hit and miss on eBay but look well enough and you can find some bargain gems. This is stunning miniature pineapple necklace that doesn't look tacky in the least... well for a pineapple necklace at least!
8. Set of 2 Cactus Pens 99p HERE
I featured this set of three pens in my last eBay bargains post and I'm also waiting for my delivery of them. A total novelty buy and pretty ridiculous but that's the point of them!
9. Cactus Enamel Pins 99p HERE
Keeping with the cactus theme I came across these amazing plant pins. Enamel pins are very much on trend right now and could be worn on a bag or even a shirt or sweater. I'm very tempted to pick up a few to wear on a plain black sweater now.
Hope you've found some items from this little lot!
You can find one of my previous 99p finds posts here.
Fee xo.
Last week I placed my
So this is basically a haul of treats which I felt I deserved, haha!
However the first item is one of my most favourite blogger purchases in a long while and something I will be using daily, so I guess it was an item I didn't know I needed until I had it. Hope you like this haul... I really can't get enough of ASOS at the moment!
White Board Weekly Planner - £7.99 HERE
I've had this white board for a week now and can already say it's a blogger must-have! Ideal for jotting down your schedule or blog posts you plan to write. In the past I've always used a weekly planner notebook or pad but often things change, so for this planner to be wipeable is great! A really lovely design and size, plus you receive the 4 colourful magnets shown (the motivational signs are my own) which are handy for pinning notes and receipts to the board, or you could just use them on your fridge instead! Also thinking this would be great as a meal planner board for the kitchen. Really very impressed with this!
NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Tea And Cookies - £6.50 HERE
Having already tried 'Soft Spoken' for the Liquid Suede line and absolutely loving everything about it I thought it was time to pick up another shade. I went for Tea & Cookies as it looked my kind of pinky nude and that's always flattering to all skin tones. Just so soft and feminine looking on the lips and most importantly comfortable. A very flattering matte lip cream that everyone needs in my opinion!
Miss Etoile Trinket Dish - £5.00 HERE
I will hold my hands up and admit this was a totally unneeded purchase... but I couldn't resist the cuteness! I have more than enough trinket dishes now but ya know, blog props and all! But aside from this being the cutest design it actually makes a really good ring holder and it's totally inexpensive. Basically I'm not going to feel guilty for buying yet another jewellery dish! You can find the entire Miss Etoile range on ASOS here.
Clear Cactus Make Up Bag - £5.99 HERE
Another unneeded purchase but one I couldn't resist was this amazing cactus makeup bag. I mean just look at it! If you are loving the cactus trend at the moment then this is something you need to pick up - it's allow, it's payday after all. Although I haven't filled it just yet I can tell it will hold a decent amount of makeup and the fact it's clear will also be handy when looking for something specific. Perfect for any plant lover or beauty blogger I'd say!
Here are few things I'm also lusting after...
Top row L-R - Cactus Jewellery Tray, Valentine's Card (perfect to frame!), Peg Board
Bottom row L-R - Llamas Set of Drawers Set, Lottie Mermaid Glow (exclusive), Sass & Belle Mug

99p (4 styles) HERE
Aren't these just dreamy? Okay, I know they are only post-it's but they are magical watercolour ones and cost only 99p each! All four styles are lovely however the above two have to be my favourites which I've already picked up.
Muted Pastel Storage Containers
£2.19 (S,M,L) HERE
So these containers are supposed to be for food but scrap that, they are too pretty to store away in a cupboard! These would make perfect containers for stationery supplies and pens in my opinion.
2 Year Undated Planner
£13.26 (4 styles) HERE
I was on the fence whether to include these due to the price... but I decided to go ahead because I love the design of them so much! These are wonderful compact hardback planners that are totally undated so you can start it whenever you want. Each planner includes 2 pages of a yearly planner, 26 pages of monthly planners, 106 pages of weekly planners and 26 pages of lined pages.
Stone Effect Marble Notepad
£4.07 (4 styles) HERE
If you are into stone/marble effect then these notepads are for you! They come in a range of 4 colours which all look incredibly stylish. My favourite has to be the grey/pink combination! LOVE!
Unique Circular Post-it Notes
£4.20 (8 styles) HERE Planet style 99p (4 styles) HERE
I know, I know, the most ridiculously priced post-it notes ever! However for some reason I can't find them any cheaper on eBay, but knowing eBay listings these are still worth 'watching' as they will most likely come down in price. But you can find equally pretty planet design post-it's for only 99p at least.
Patterned Writing Paper Set
£3.49 (6 styles) HERE
If you are into writing handwritten letters then these gorgeous patterned writing sets may interest you. They come in so many lovely designs and include 4 sheets of paper and two envelopes per set.
Cute Cactus Gel Pen
2 for 99p HERE or 12 for £3.79 HERE
Another random non-needed purchase here! I mean for 99p how could I refuse?! Not much to say about these other than they are are cactus pens and look amazing and ridiculous all at the same time! Also for some reason you can buy 12 for a ridiculously cheap price.... though I only bought 2.
Cute Ice Cream Gel Pen
1 for 99p HERE
Keeping with novelty pens I couldn't resist including these super adorable ice-cream pens that for some strange reason I'm really impressed with - I think it's the pretty syrup effect! Although I definitely don't need anymore novelty pens I will had to get one of these. I also came across some lovely feather style pens here that you may like, again only 99p!
Hope you've found some new stationery bits here!
Fee xo.
£4.99 - multiple colours HERE
I think after all the indulgence of Christmas we are all aiming to get back to our normal eating habits and to drink more water. One of these compact bottles that can be used to infuse water with fruit is ideal for your handbag or taking out on a walk due to the handy wrist strap. If you are looking for a larger bottle for your desk or to make sure you drink enough throughout the day then these 800ml infused water bottles are another inexpensive option.
Silicone Foundation Makeup Applicator
99p HERE
If you hadn't noticed these strange silicone applicators have taken the online beauty community by storm in the last few months. They may look like silicone bra inserts but I promise you they aren't, in fact they are supposed to be the new way to apply foundation. I'm not fully convinced but for 99p it's worth a go! You can also find a UK seller of them here for £4.89 if you don't want to wait for international delivery!
Personalised 2017 Diary
No.4 (seen above) £6.99 HERE
If you are looking to get organised this year then what better way than to treat yourself to a personalised diary! I absolutely love this, and from having a personalised notebook before I can truly say you will cherish it and people will often ask you about it! Also you could even make this a personalised blog planner, though I would message the seller before buying to check if they can print your blog name onto the notebook.
Motivational Art Prints
A5 - £1.99 & A4 £2.49 HERE
I love motivational prints and having them dotted around my home really helps me to feel more positive. This UK seller has so many amazing affordable prints from Bible quotes to girlboss style motivation. The above is one of my favourites that I'm very tempted to hang in a pretty copper frame.
Stone Effect Silicone Phone Covers
For all iPhone 99p HERE
New year, new phone case I say! But then I would say that because I'm seemingly addicted to buying phone covers from eBay! These are my latest find and for 99p they are pretty damn amazing. I love silicone cases as they protect the phone, don't scratch and can be easily removed in place of a new cover. I've already pick up the 'Enjoy Every Moment' marble case along with a stone effect case and highly rate them for the price!
Weight Loss Countdown Plaque
£5.99 HERE
Lastly if you are aiming to lose weight right now I wanted to recommend a super motivational weight loss plaque. I picked up one of these from eBay last year and having a constant visual of how far I'd come really did help me! An odd item to include but one that is so helpful with weight loss, I promise.
Hope you've found a few bargain buys here for the year ahead!
Fee xo.
If you've clicked on this post then I'm going to assume you're feeling festive and looking for gift ideas! So no apologies will be given here for talking Christmas!
I'm currently sat admiring my Christmas tree, trying to resist eating more Celebration chocolates (the Malteser ones, obvs) whilst wondering what the heck I want this year for the past hour! As you can see I've fortunately come up with nine gifts that I'd absolutely love to receive, so hopefully you can get some ideas here as to what you put on your own list or gift to others!
Lush Tutti Fruity Gift Set
£11.50 BUY HERE
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas for me without a Lush gift set. I always have to be quite specific in which gift set I'd like as I don't have a bath and many of the sets contain bath bombs and bubble bars. However I always manage to find something and this year it's the Tutti Fruity gift set that contains Yuzu & Cocoa Shower Cream (this is supposed to smell like chocolate orange!) and Miranda Soap, both of which I've never tried before. Gotta love a pre-wrapped Lush gift set under the tree!
Rifle Paper Co Paradise Gardens 2017 Calendar
£26.00 Papermash BUY HERE
Each year I always receive a pretty wall calendar - my 2016 calendar was a lovely one by artist Rob Ryan (2017 version here). This Christmas I'd love one from the Rifle Paper Co, they just do the most stunning stationary and calendars. The only thing is I'm totally aware that £26.00 is pretty pricey so I'm thinking this may be a post-Christmas treat to myself in January when it's likely to be reduced in price. Side note - If I do pick up this calendar I will be totally using the illustrations as framed prints once I'm done with each month thanks to this creative blog post!
Calvin Klein Eternity Perfume
£19.00 for 30ml Amazon BUY HERE
Thanks to being a beauty blogger I have more than enough fragrances on the go at any one time, but again it wouldn't feel as Christmassy (totally a word) without a new scent to open and wear on Christmas Day. This year I've asked for Eternity; a scent I use to love and wear many many years ago. In high street stores I've noticed this is generally full price but online you can find it for quite a steal even at the largest size.
ASOS Metallic Silver Loafer
£12.00 BUY HERE
On a recent midnight ASOS perusal I came across these amazing shiny silver loafers. You will either love or hate these shoes, but I personally think they will look great with skinny jeans. They are also a total bargain right now as they're on the 'Outlet' section of the site reduced down to £12 from £20!
Pretty Iconic by Sali Hughes
£12.49 Amazon BUY HERE
Books are the perfect to give and receive at Christmas as we all have more time to enjoy them. To add to my beauty bookshelf and to read through on Boxing Day I'm asking for Sali Hughes' 2nd book; Pretty Iconic. This is definitely one for beauty addicts as it features cult beauty products through the ages and it all about nostalgia and recommendations. If you haven't already read Pretty Honest by Sali Hughes I recommend putting it on your own Christmas list this year - such a good beauty read!
Where Am I Now by Mara Wilson
£10.99 Amazon BUY HERE
Another book I will be asking for is this interesting looking memoir by child-star Mara Wilson who you will recognise from Mrs Doubtfire, Matilda and Miracle on 34th Street. I grew up loving all films that starred Mara Wilson and like many wondered where she went and what she'd done with her life. With tales of playing Matilda and I'm sure lots of other stories plus an update on her life this looks a really good read. I love an autobiography to read at Christmas!
Darling Magazine Subscription
From $4.99 per digital issue. Subscription options HERE
I recently came across Darling magazine which basically re-writes what a women's magazine is. The publications tagline is something like 'a magazine that will love you back' (I can't find the exact wording now! oops) and aims to be an amazing empowering read for the modern woman. With more content than ads (finally), a zero photoshop policy (finally!) and actual detailed articles and interviews this looks like my kind of magazine. The only problem is that Darling is U.S based and only sold in select UK stores that seem to be in London. However there is an option to buy a digital subscription or individual digital issues so that may be what I ask for. But first I will be asking my local WH Smith is they can order it in and what the price would be, as this is a service they offer for international titles FYI.
Beauty Bay The Essentials Makeup Geek Collection
£20.00 BUY HERE
I love a good beauty gift set at Christmas and having searched high and low for my upcoming Christmas gift guides I think my favourite sets this year as the ones from The Beauty Bay Collection. The range consists of 12 sets, priced from £18-60 and all come with a rose gold, silver or black pouch and a range of branded makeup products. The above collection of products is right up my street from the rose gold pouch to the three Makeup Geek shades ideal for a pigmented smokey eye. It also comes with a handy Z Palette that holds the pan eyeshadows. I've yet to try anything from Makeup Geek but have heard soooo many good things about their eyeshadows so I've love to start off my collection with this gift set. Just really good value for money!
Monki Bubblegum Sleepy Candle
£11.00 BUY HERE
Do I need anymore candles? Certainly not. Just this week I've had to designate an entire kitchen drawer for my candle collection. But when a candle is this pretty and bubblegum scented, mmmm, it's hard too resist - fingers crossed it has a good scent throw! I also love the cute little eyelash illustrations that decorate the white glass holder which make it seem more high end in my opinion. I'd be thrilled to find this in my stocking come Christmas morning!
If you've been struggling with present ideas then I hope this festive post has helped!
What gifts are you wishing for this Christmas?
