July: Lately I've been Loving

So many things I've been loving in July!

My pretty Bewitched Accessories purse my mum got me at the House for an Art Lover Shop. I just love it.

Shay & Blue Watermelons* an amazing scent which I absolutely adore. See my review HERE.

I've got quite a storecupboard of homemade jams and chutneys. Love making them.

Been loving using these products from OSKIA - sheer luxury. See my review HERE.

I came across Lesley Williamson Photography on Twitter and seeing as the above saying is my all time favourite I knew I had to pick up a card. There are also brilliant coasters which I'm buying soon! See the shop HERE.

The very talented Emily at Fleurelle Illustrations painted this gorgeous watercolour for a header for the @CraigentinnyTel twitter. So pretty I got it framed and it's now hanging in the kitchen.

We thoroughly enjoyed Savour 2 earlier in the month and enjoyed delicious cakes from Bostock Bakery and Zukr Boutique. Want to visit both again...and soon!

Last Sunday we had a delicious lunch at The Scran & Scallie. If you are around Stockbridge in Edinburgh I highly recommend it. The fish pie was delicious as was hubby's steak pie and my pudding simply summer in a glass (champagne jelly with summer fruits and sorbet) yum!

TARDES by CARNER EdP this was the perfume I fell in love with this month from Bloom Perfumery July Sample pack - see my post HERE. It smells truly gorgeous and full size is on the wishlist (in fact I might be tempted to pick it up in October when I visit the shop).

June: Lately I've Been Loving

We spent a rainy Saturday afternoon in Tonic having a few cocktails. I fell in love with the very delicious Porn Star Martini - so delicious I had to have two! It contains Stoli Vanil, Passionfruit, Caramel & Lemon served with a shot of Prosecco on the side - yum!

I enjoyed a fab afternoon tea at the Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh (formerly The Caledonian Hotel) with my mother-in-law. It was gorgeous. If you are ever in Edinburgh I'd highly recommend!

I read Eeny Meeny by M J Arlidge and I can quite honestly say it is one of my favourite reads this year. Super creepy I raced through it. Matthew's second book is out in September - I seriously can't wait!

We spent a great afternoon at Savour - a foodie event organised by Sharon at Bite Magazine. We ate delicious food and drink.  

I especially enjoyed a pulled pork roll from The Hanging Bat, the delicious jams and chutneys and a cheese platter from The Edinburgh Larder, Pickerings Gin (served with tonic & lemongrass), Zukr Boutique (super delicious luxe teacakes), smoked salmon & gravlax from George Campbell & Sons  and the refreshing and fruity Idun's Elderflower Cider.

June's Souk Souk Beauty Box has been my favourite box...ever. It could have been made for me - I simply love it!  See my mini review here.

I tried the newly launched Dahliana Wildflower Youth Serum* and simply adore it - you'll see it's already a firm favourite (and halfway done!).  See my review here.
