Five Friday Favourites

Another very productive week done! I can't believe that tomorrow is the first day of September (and exactly 2 weeks until my birthday!), I had my spring haircut today and my hair is so much shorter and feels so much lighter. I get my hair cut on average once a year always around this time just in
time for Summer.
I submitted a job application on Tuesday for a job that I really want, so I am praying that I get an interview. I also might have an interview for a Christmas casual position next week, I had a phone interview on Wednesday and if I'm successful I will have an interview on either Tuesday or Wednesday. I am trying not overthink it all and just giving it to God and that he will open the right doors and opportunities for me.
I only had half a day of class on Wednesday as my lecturer was sick, which was a welcome surprise especially considering how wet it was. I came home and printed out all my assignments that were due the next day and just relaxed, I know could've used the time more productively but sometimes you just need to do nothing and recharge.

I am after a new quilt cover and I love this one but the price and the fact that it doesn't come in a double is what is making me hesitate! I know I could buy a quilt insert in queen size but I just don't know if I can afford it along with the cost of the cover. My plan is to keep an eye on it online and pray it goes on sale soon and then get a new insert if it does go on sale. It's the only quilt I've seen that I really love since I've started looking, so decisions decisions!

Onto Friday Favourites:

To All The Boys I've Loved Before - I was intrigued by the movie ever since I saw the trailer, though I hadn't read the book (I actually just bought the book this past week to read) I had heard good things about it. This film was a really good and I loved it, it was a great feel good movie and I already have plans to rewatch it in the near future. I love a good rom com and I am glad that they are finally making a comeback.

Maybelline Color Drama Lipstick in Red Essential - it's only been in the past year or so that I have been brave enough to wear red lipstick there was just something about it that was intimidating. I started wearing a red lip tint first as it wasn't as bold and in your face, but I finally took the jump and decided to try and actual red lipstick. I love the Maybelline Color Drama Lipsticks (if they ever discontinue Minimalist I will be not be happy!), they have great staying power, are moisturising and the pigment is amazing. When I decided to take the plunge to buy a red lipstick it made sense to go with a type I liked and I picked Red Essential which is a nice dark red and it's not too bright. A trick I use is to wear it over a tint so that way if any does rub off it's not really noticeable.

Tote Bag: Cute (Kikki K) - as soon as I saw this bag I knew I needed it. So today (Friday's are my retail therapy day) I bought it and its even cuter in person! It's a good size, sturdy and it's super cute and fun, I have no idea what I will use it for but it's a great size that I know I will use it on a regular basis (study stuff, road trip snacks, books …).

Enamel Pin Quote: Cute (Kikki K) - because I like things to match, I knew I had to buy this pin when I bought the bag. Enamel pins are on trend at the moment and I love how they can add a fun element to everyday outfits. I have been wearing this cat pin on my jacket and people also comment how cute it is once they notice it. I love how this pin is a quote but its still super cute and fun, I can't wait to wear it.

Porcelain Bowls 2Pk: Wonderful (Kikki K) - I like to have places where I can put all the odds and ends in my room that I come across and I have quite a few jewellery dishes which are great but when I saw these bowls I knew I could find a use for them. I actually only kept one (the butterfly one) and gave one to my sister. I really like how classic the design is and the gold rimming, they won't look out of place in your kitchen (they are food safe) or your bedroom which is great.
