Gosh I can't believe that this is actually the first little DIY I post on here! One DIY in eight months of blogging is a bit underwhelming really but I think as it's now autumn, my favourite!, and the festive season is drawing closer there will be a lot more crafty things on here! Today I wanted to show you the little things I made (and picked up) to make my room look cosy and autumnal and maybe a little halloween-y.

It's that
time of the year, where Starbucks brings back the pumpkin spice latte! I always
really enjoyed a cup of steaming hot pumpkin spice latte on my way home to keep
warm and because I have a massive sweet tooth. Recently however I read an
article about Starbuck's hot beverages and the kinds of ingredients they put in
there (without disclosing them!) which - to say the least - put me off their
flavoured coffees a bit. Basically it shouldn't even be news to me that a sweet
coffee from Starbucks isn't the healthiest option out there but only now did I
really think about it. However the craving for pumpkin spice latte was real, so
I had to do something about it! And that's why - with some googling and testing
things out - I found myself a recipe that's super quick and easy and at least
as delicious as the one from Starbucks (with the benefit of knowing all the
ingredients in my drink!)

It's time for yet another haul on this blog! It must seem like I never stop shopping seeing that there have been quite a few hauls and product reviews up recently! I promise however that this is not the case, I just recently been to Italy and when we went to Verona and I set eyes on a Sephora store (we don't have them where I live..) I just had to go in right? The thing with Sephora is that you don't just go in - NO - you go in, spend ages in there looking at absolutely everything, pick up a few things and spend quite a bit of money in the end. But you already knew that didn't you? I've been in town with my brother that day and he thought I'd never ever leave the shop again.. oooops. Anyway, enough of the rambling I just thought I'd show you what I got.

Hello you lovely lot! If you read my last London Diaries post you'll know that I went a bit wild at Twinings the other day. For all of you tea lovers out there I thought it'd be nice to share what I got and how I like it. I also got a pack of the much talked about Teapigs liquorice and peppermint tea, which I was dying to try ever since I heard Estée from Essiebutton talk about it in several of her vlogs. So I'm just gonna add this in here even though it's not from Twinings because I did pick it up on the same trip to London recently!

If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you might already know that I spent the long October weekend in Italy with my family. We stayed in a cute little town in the Dolomites on the shores of Lake Garda and went exploring Italy from there. Three days and loads of pizza, pasta and gelato! I thought I'd share with you a few holiday snaps today.

I've heard a lot of people talk about Burberry's new fragrance release 'My Burberry' and have been wanting to give it a sniff ever since. So when a couple of days ago I went to Italy for a little weekend trip and stumbled across a Douglas shop in Verona I was right on it. I got a little tester thing and even though I liked it immediately decided that I would see how good it'll linger on my skin during the day and see whether I'd still like it a couple of hours later. I can only recommend doing this if you've got the time! So I left the shop and gave the fragrance a little trial period. A couple of hours later I could still smell 'My Burberry' on my skin and I still quite liked the scent of it so I obviously went back and bought it. I also felt like I made an incredible bargain as it was all of two euros cheaper than it would have been to buy it in Germany. Win win really :)
