Drinking tea and burning incense

I spent most of yesterday sipping on tea and eating till my hearts content. It was bliss. I took my sister  out for lunch (she's the biggest tea drinker around) and to find a candle shop I'd been meaning to go in. The Yankee Christmas scents were in and I couldn't stop myself from smelling every single one. It got me so excited for jumpers and scarves, even though I was wearing sunglasses.

I stopped myself from buying any scent that reminded me of winter though, as that collection was already building up in my drawer and I wanted to enjoy the warmer weather while it was still around.  Near the candle shop was my local Boyes store. Now I love going in and pretending to be all crafty, wanting to buy material and beads, but having nothing to make. I sometimes go in for skincare products that are pretty cheap or if I fancy some glue on nails for a night out; but this time I found incense sticks! Now I love these, so much so, that I was close to tears when I lost my wooden holder and ended up improvising with a small pen box. At £1.29 I ended up buying two sets of sticks Exotic and Erotic (sounds weird but they smell amazing) and went home to find a holder on Ebay.  Whilst in Boyes though, I found that they sold a few Sally Hansen gel nail colours for £1.99! I know gel takes a lot longer to put on than regular polish and I can never manage to keep it neat for two weeks, but I loved this colour (Griege) and wanted to try it out. I'll put it on as soon as I can but here's some photo's of what I bought...

With the warm weather, I decided to wear a dress with a cut out back and team it with a white strappy crop top I got from Ebay. I thought they'd look really cool under razor back tops and dresses and by themselves with shorts or skirts on holiday. Here's the link to them and I'll put a photo up soon.
