Tanya Burr's book signing and shopping haul

Well hello to you my reader chums! I attended Tanya Burr's book signing and finally got the chance to meet her. I've been watching her videos for years and it was really surreal meeting her in person.

If you're a big Tanya Burr fan or love reading a shopping haul, here is my full experience of Tanya Burr's book signing.

I'm genuinely really enjoying Tanya's book, it has such sweet personal touches and I love all the tips she gives about makeup, skincare etc.

Since security was quite strict about pictures, it was hard to snap a quick one before actually meeting her. However, I'm super happy I had a conversation with Tanya.

Tanya Burr's book signing and shopping haul

Since I was in Bluewater and am a bit of a shopaholic I couldn't resist picking up a couple of bits. Here is a full look at everything I bought.

Bluewater shopping haul

Mac's Russian Red lipstick

I'd like to point out its my first ever Mac lipstick and I'm extremely happy to finally have one. I thought as it was Valentine's day I would treat myself! The colour itself is dark red, perfect for a statement red lip, I can't wait to start wearing it!

Dragon's Egg bath bomb

I obviously had to make a trip to Lush to stock up! I picked up one of my ultimate favourite bath bombs which is Dragon's egg. I adore the smell to this, it reminds me of lemon sherbets and orange sweets. The scent is so strong that when I leave it in my room, it lets off a beautiful aroma around the room.

Honey Bee bath bomb

I haven't tried this one out before, however, it had a very similar scent to Lush's golden egg which was around at Easter time, one that had a gorgeous smell. I'm definitely into the bath bombs with sweeter scents!

Topshop clothing

The top I bought, I've had my eye on for a while now because I love the detailing. I never picked it up before as I would always stop myself, although yesterday I gave in and bought it. Usually I'm not one to wear green (or many colours really), I tend to stick to monochrome and neutral items.

Despite that, I love this top, I think the shade of green/teal is beautiful and the lace detailing really adds to the overall look. One thing I admire about Topshop is the fact they have a petite range. I'm quite small/ thin and sometimes find it hard to get my size in general clothing stores. Therefore it's lovely to go into a shop where they have a section which caters to my size. This cost me £22.

Forever 21 clothing items

Every time I go to Bluewater or London, going into Forever 21 is a must. I love how there's something for everyone and how the shop caters to a variety of styles. The first clothing piece was these black skinny jeans. I'm one of those people who always stick to denim jeans and therefore wanted to push the boat out a bit and get a pair of black jeans.

I also picked up another pair of the denim high waisted jeans as they are oh so comfy and I get a lot a use out of the pair I already own. Both jeans only cost me £12 each which I think is a bargain!

Another item I picked up was this oversized cream jumper. It's a tad longer than a usual jumper and is the softest thing. I think it's going to be perfect for a chill day or just with jeans and boots for an ultra-casual look. It's quite a light material, ideal for the upcoming spring months! For only £7, I think that's a proper bargain for a versatile piece.

The last thing I purchased from Forever 21 was this slouchy, stripy top. I was on the hunt for a stripy crop top and tried a selection on, however was unsuccessful, yet when I picked this up and put it on, it was extremely soft/light and I loved it. Even though its not the crop top I was going for, its still the pattern I wanted and as its slouchy, I can wear it for a lot of casual occasions. I can either tuck it into skirts or pair it with shorts and jeans! This was £9.
