Life in Instagram: June 2016 ♥

Here’s my latest monthly instalment of life in Instagram! Enjoy..  Instagram: victoriajane6 Snapchat: victoriajane6x   Here’s a rather generic photo of my delicious burger and some yummy fruity cocktails. These were captured on a trip to see my favourite Stokies Terri, Charl and Lily for Charls birthday a little while back. We went to Newcastle Under Lyme for some drinks in a really cool little bar called The Ten Green Bottles Co. We then went on to a couple more bars and somehow ended up having a sit down meal at 2am at an Indian restaurant.  The burger is from…

Life in Instagram: April 2016 ♥

Here’s my little Instagram run down for the month, but I’m now also on Snapchat! So add me on both 🙂 Instagram: victoriajane6 Snapchat: victoriajane6x Next time you pop into Boots check out the clearance shelves and the Soap and Glory section! I found a few S&G bits reduced to clear and they also had Burts Bees reduced too. The mini body wash was reduced to £1 and the big fragrance mist was only £3.50!  I won this pretty white dress on Facebook from Little Mistress and I love it! I think it’s going to be perfect to wear in…

Carboot Sale & Charity Shop Buys ♥

So carboot sale season is officially over for me now until April next year. I have had another pretty good run this summer, finding quite a few little bargains! I thought I’d do a little run down of the things I found over my last few trips, and also some charity shop finds too.  We’ve had a new trader at my local carboot sale recently, that has boxes and boxes full of make up testers and samples. He sells them all for £1 each and so I’ve treated myself to a few concealers and lipsticks from him, all brand new!…

Carboot Sale Bargain Buys ♥

I went to my first carboot sale of the year last week and although I was selling my own things, I also had a wander around the other stalls. I bought quite a few bits with my pennies and I’m really pleased with my bargain carboot haul! So here’s what I bought…  If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know that I have a tonne of cushions on my bed including another fox cushion as well as a family of owls. So when I saw this excellent condition cushion for only £1 I knew it had to come home with…

Royal Albert Free Afternoon Tea Tour ♥

Last summer I was invited along to one of the afternoon tea events held by Royal Albert in London. I went with my Mum and we had a fantastic time! I did a blog post here, as I took a few lovely photos of the afternoon tea event. It involved a lovely floral van serving cups of tea and juice in their finest china. They also served little cakes and macaroons under a cute marquee lined with ditsy bunting. I’m quite excited to announce that they are running the event again this year! So if you’re in London on any…
