Small steps, they lead only to your heart

Happy Friday everyone! I have no idea where this week has gone, it went by so very very quickly and my exams are getting closer and closer. At the beginning of the week a friend and I went to stay with another friend who is studying at UEA in Norwich and had a lovely time. We went shopping, out for a few drinks and had a much needed catch up! I don't know if any of you have been to Norwich, it has some great shops and I was very surprised to see that Boux Avenue had just opened a store (us countryside folk need nice underwear too) so we popped inside and were blown away by their customer service, presentation, and the lovely products they had on offer. All of my friends ended up buying something, I got these and they were wrapped beautifully-


I couldn't resist taking a photo of the packaging before I opened my new undies! They also put scented petals in the bottom of the bag too. Have any of you been impressed by Boux Avenue too? We also spent a long time in H&M, their current collection is fabulous! I took a mountain of clothes into the changing rooms to try on and ended up buying this pretty sleeveless blouse-


It was only £12.99 and with my £5 voucher I had it was even cheaper, I also picked up this pretty flower hair clip at the till as I never normally wear that type of thing but I thought it would accompany the top quite nicely- what do you think? I fell in love with the faint flowers on the blouse. The blouse has a silky finish to it (and is also a little bit see-through!). Despite the weather probably not being quite up to scratch to wear this out by itself just yet I'm teaming it with coloured jeans and my cardigan or denim jacket. 

I also thought I would share with you a song I am really liking at the moment (and it's where the title for this post came from) by Jessie Ware, she's gradually getting a bigger name for herself and has a really different edge to her, give it a listen and let me know what you think :) xxx
