Book Nook Reveal ✨️ Or should we say Nooky Nook 🤭

When you have an empty space and the Husband suggests a book nook! Few dates at B&Q and lot's of scrolling on Instagram for Inspo 📝

I need a side table and a few other bits but what do you think so far?

Who else loves a girly shopping day?

The weather is changing and I am in desperate need to find affordable transitional pieces to layer which will see me through Autumn to Winter without spending a fortune 🛍

A pair of chocolate wide legged Adalae jeans was a must on the list so I can dress up or down 🤎

I downloaded the NEW LOOK app for outfit inspo and to create a wishlist before heading into store but couldn't resist trying on few other bits 🤭
