My Spanish Vida

With the summer closing in and the days getting slightly cooler for some of you, or for me, that blasted air-con just keeps, well, blasting! The best thing we can chuck on, to keep our shoulders nice and cosy, is the good 'ol cardi! Who doesn't love a cardi?!

It's that time of year where the summer sales are in full swing and the autumnal clothes are starting to fill the rails. I love a bargain and I love sale shopping! (who doesn't?!) But, how many time have we picked up an item, because it's at a rock bottom price and then it ends up sitting in the back of the wardrobe never to be worn.  Even if it only cost a few quid, it's still a waste if its never gonna see the light of day! So, when it comes to sale shopping we need to start being a bit more savvy and logical, when digging through the bargain bin. 

As you guys know we've recently pur-chased a house in Spain, which is a complete blank canvas, with neutral walls and floor tiles throughout. We've had our stuff shipped over from the UK that's been in storage for the last 4 and a half years and now it's time for a major sort out! Tricky when we're only there a week at a time, but nevertheless it's all good fun! I've mentioned before that I've got the 4th bedroom as my dressing room. My dream has always been to have a walk in wardrobe and when hubby suggested, that I have one of the bedrooms as a dressing room, well, you can imagine my delight and huge smile across my face!

How absolutely, outrageously, mind blowingly gorgeous, are these Michael Kors strappy sandals??????!!!!!!! I seriously need these in my life, ASAP! Sadly though, they are slightly out of my price range.  I do reckon that they'd be an amazing investment, if you do have a little extra cash to splash!

So, yesterday wasn't the best day for me regarding all things blog and internet related! Mark was up mega early for work, so I got up too and made him his cup of tea while he got ready. I know I could of stayed snoozing away in the land of nod, but I think it takes the p*ss slightly, as I don't work and am completely a lady of leisure! Anyway, I am kinda ridiculously in love with the guy, so I like to do things for him! Awww.... So, with hubby safely off to work, which I will divulge more about his whereabouts in a later post for you guys! Winky face!

So, this weekend of mine was a pretty good one.  Lot's (and I mean lot's) of Krispy Kreme doughnuts  and a spot of shopping thrown into the mix! In celebration of India's Independance Day, Matalan were offering 25% off everything in store over the weekend! So, we thought we had to have a little look, be rude not too! So excited to be let free to shop and even though the week before we were in there ( here ) and picked up a few things in the sale, this time I did struggle.

Once again it's the start of another week and our weekend completely flew by! Friday for us turned out to be quite a stressful day! We had a bit of a lie in, but we were nowhere near ready to get up yet, but as we could hear a chorus of cat cries we thought we best! We headed over to the pool with intention of sitting out for a few hours, but we noticed a very questionable 'object' sitting at the bottom, so we decided to give the pool a miss and go and do our grocery shop.

How amazing is this Peasant Top from Forever 21!?

Following on from yesterdays  post , Saturday was again a bit of a 'jobs' day as we needed to get new tyres fitted on the car (the glamour! lol). As we had a few hours to kill before they could be fitted we headed over to  RAK Mall .  We've lived up in Ras Al Khaimah now for about a year and a half and have never ventured to this mall. To my surprise it's really nice and has much more of a modern feel to it then the other malls we usually visit in Ras Al Khaimah.

Another weekend gone! How was everybody's?  We had a fun one, very mall orientated! I think I'm gonna have to give you my weekend antics in two parts! We didn't see my friend in the end on the Friday. She was tired from her flight and probably got a better offer to go out somewhere else in Dubai, lol! So, Friday....
