Well hello to you my reader chums! A couple of months ago, Tanya Burr released her book Love Tanya. I bought a copy, where shortly afterwards book tour dates were released meaning I ended up with two copies! ( you can see the book signing here.) Over the past few months I was quite busy and therefore didn't find much time to read, however after finding the time to sit down with this book, I finished and thoroughly enjoyed it. Initially, I wasn't too sure what to expect because I usually read fiction novels, yet this was such a refreshing and happy read.

Well hello to you my reader chums! Today I have a good old clothing haul to share with you. Yesterday I went on a shopping trip with my best friend to help me pick out items for the holiday we're going on in the upcoming month. There were still some things missing that I hadn't got for the trip and I took full advantage of buying the bulk yesterday, in the trusty Primark! I got 2 things in other shops, however the majority is from Primark!

 Lets get into the haul:

I already have a couple of bikinis, however I wanted to get 3 in total since most of the holiday will be spent near the beach and pool. I would never of thought to look in Sports Direct for swimwear, however Danielle suggested it and we went to have a gander. To my surprise we found the cutest, blue gingham bikini from the brand 'SoulCal & Co' which is stocked in the store Republic. I absolutely adore the print, fit and colour of this and can't wait to get lots of wear out of it! There was also 50% off, meaning I got it for around £13!

Well hello to you my reader chums!

This day two years ago I finally took the plunge and created my blog, DellaLovesNutella. I remember thinking about it for a good while and never had the confidence to do it but thought one day 'if I don't do it now, I'll never do it'. I then sat at my laptop, created my design, and wrote a post. I think back to how hesitant I was about publishing it and took a while to press it! Initially, I had no idea what direction I wanted it to go or what on earth I would write, however after the flow of posts began I gradually gained my own voice, style and knew what kind of blog I wanted it to be.  

Over these two years, I've grown a lot as a person, with confidence and happiness which I feel like my blog has been apart of, it has grown with me. This little space on the Internet is mine, my space to share my love of beauty, fashion, and the incredible moments I've had. To me, when I post fun adventures or important days it's like a diary. I can look back at them in a few years and read what I did that day and the excitement I felt. I love that I have this area to capture moments and am able to share/write whatever I wish.

Being part of the blogging community is such a lovely feeling because everyone is super supportive of each other and I always receive the nicest comments. Reading comments is one of my favourite things to do and I always see those same people who constantly post positive things. To those people and the many others that have read and supported by my blog, I want to say a BIG THANK YOU! Writing my blog is something that makes me extremely happy and when I see people enjoy these posts it gives me the biggest smile!

'DellaLovesNutella' is one of the best choices I've made and I'll never look back. The name describes me perfectly, if you didn't know I do actually have an obsession with Nutella. Also, my real name is Daniella and everyone calls me Della which is how I came up with 'DellaLovesNutella'.

I hope to always continue writing and expanding this blog. In the future, I'd like to write more inspiring posts, carry on with the same love of beauty/fashion and create more posts on books.

Well hello to you my reader chums! Now spring has begun, I thought I would share with you my go to lip products for this season. The majority are fairly new finds and one is a favourite old discovery. For me when we transition into spring, its all about quite fresh makeup, pink lips and more brighter shades for the lips also. I've got a variety from quite subtle to very bright lip choices, here's all the products:

Well hello to you my reader chums and a Happy Easter to you all! 

Yesterday for Danielle's birthday I treated her to tickets for the musical, Jersey Boys in London. As we were heading there in the evening for the show, we thought it'll be a good idea to take advantage and head to Oxford street beforehand. I've never been to Oxford street before because when I go to London, I usually go to Westfield or a shopping centre for a shopping trip. 

We arrived in London around lunchtime and our first stop was Topshop. I was rather taken aback by how big it was with all the snack places and counters included in one shop, it was like a mini shopping place! Whilst having a good old look, we discovered this Easter photo booth and thought it'll be a nice memento to take home with us. As you can tell we weren't ready for the first picture, however, I'm obsessed with how all the others turned out! It's super cute and a lovely thing to have. After this, we had a browse in a few other shops, picked up a couple of things, and headed to the restaurant for dinner. We booked Pizza Hut in advance and underestimated how big  Oxford Street was because it took forever to find.
