A few days ago Mr Juicy and I went down to Southampton to visit family. While we were there, we had a day out in Portsmouth at the Gunwharf Quays Outlet Centre. I have to say it’s the poshest outlet center I’ve ever been to! It’s right by the water so it’s surrounded by lovely views. There’s also a bunch of decent places to eat. We decided to have dinner at Wagamas which is a really great place to eat out if you’re a vegetarian! There’s a tonne of tasty veggie options.
The first outlet I went to was Cath Kidston. I’ve been after a few Cath Kidston wash bags for going on holiday. I love the chintz-y floral patterns at Cath Kidston, and their wash bags are a plastic material which is easy to wipe clean.
Lace Stripe Wash Bag £12.00 (RRP £18.00)
Briar Rose Cosmetic Bag £8.00 (RRP £12.00)
Curve Nottinghill Make Up Case £6.00 (RRP £10.00)
How adorable are these little shorts? I love the anchor print. I think you can never go wrong with a bit of a nautical theme in the summer. There’s something very vintage cheesecake about it.
Blue Anchor Print Linen Shorts £12.99 (RRP 24.95)
These little high waisted, floaty shorts were from French Connection. I think they would look really cute dressed up for evening with a nice belt and a pair of heels, but could also look casual for daytime with flat sandals and a straw hat.
Summer Thistle Shorts £20.00 RRP £40.00
I haven’t been into a Body Shop for years, and I have no idea why! I could have went absolutely daft in this store. Luckily though, we were flying back up to Scotland with only hand luggage which meant anything over 100ml was a no go!
My favorite purchase is definitely the rose eau de toilette. It’s a dead ringer for the original Stella by Stella McCartney!
Atlas Mountain Rose Eau De Toilette £9.00, RRP £15.00
Pink Grapefruit Eau De Toilette £5.10, RRP £8.50
Satsuma Shimmer Lip Balm £1.20, RRP £2.00
Strawberry Stick Lip Balm £1.30, RRP £3.00
While we were down in England we stayed with Mr Juicy’s Granny. She was looking to offload some of her vast jewelry collection, so she let me have a good rummage around and I came away with the few bits and pieces that are below. I’m a sucker for that vintage look. She also gave me the little musical jewelry box. It needs a little bit of love but I think it’ll scrub up quite nicely.

I hope all of you in the UK are enjoying this *beautiful* summer weather we’re having. July had better be a scorcher to make up for this nonsense of a June!
