Pool Party!!!! That's this months theme, perfect for summer and the packaging on the melts are super cute. We have unicorns, doughnuts, watermelon etc! I genuinely love the packaging and how each melt has their own little emoji/icon. So what's in this months box?

- Beach Ball

- Watermelon

- Thai Lime & Mango

- Sweet Lime & Cedar

- Pomegranate Cider

- Pineapple & Raspberry

- Mango & Dragonfruit

- Lemon Curd

Now they all smell AMAZING, and before I even opened the box I fell in love. But for me, the most favorite is the Thai Lime & Mango it's fresh smelling AND has a super cute unicorn picture on the packaging. The pineapple & raspberry is another sweet but refreshing scent that I love, and of course watermelon which has a mouth watering smell to it.

As usual with the melt crowd, this subscription is just £10 including postage! Plus you get a 20% off discount code to use for the entire month, and some super cute smelling products. For me, the #MeltCrowd is a MUST have monthly subscription sign up with them on there website (http://www.flamingocandles.co.uk/the-melt-crowd/).

Pool Party!!!! That's this months theme, perfect for summer and the packaging on the melts are super cute. We have unicorns, doughnuts, ...

So recently Ted Baker have been having a HUGE clear-out sale with up to 50% off! Plus, me being me who is totally obsessed with bags had to make a small purchase. So about two weeks ago when the sale first started I ordered two items;

- Oriental Blossom small tote bag £65 RRP £109

- Entangled enchantment large shopper bag £24 RRP £40

Now the first thing I will admit was how disappointing I was with the packaging, in the past when I've bought items (especially the expensive ones) they normally come in a Ted Baker dust bag, or cardboard green/yellow box. Both the bags arrived in a large tall brown cardboard box (packaging) and inside where the two bags which looked lonely in such a big box. The bags themselves were in a clear plastic bag, like you get when ordering clothes off the likes of New Look. They of course then had the new wrapping around the bags, but that's it... No boxes, no dust bags, and if I'm honest I was shocked.

However, I love the two bags the large tote one I have been using for things like work/university to carry a lot of items in. And the smaller bag I have been using when out shopping, using the satchel strap across body. Both bags are stunning, I'm very impressed with the quality and would totally buy more (if I could afford).

So I thought my Ted Baker sale bargains where over, but no! I recently went to CheshireOaks Designer Outlet and visited the Ted Baker store (which pretty much always has a sale on). I saw so many beautiful dresses (ideal for my graduation but all the wrong colour), but I came across this stunning gem neck top. It was beautiful, just like all of Ted Baker's items and I was expecting the high designer price tag.

But NO! The top was in the sale RRP £139 reduced to £40 in the outlet store but then had further reductions and was only £24!!!!! WHAT?! They only had size 0, 1 and 5's but not many in the size 1, I tried the size 1 on in the store. The staff were so helpful and helped me decide it was a perfect size and bought it instantly.
