A New Obsession....Mugs....Yes, Mugs!

Since deciding to move in with the Boyf I have picked up an odd obsession with Mugs. For some reason I cant get enough of them and keep thinking we need more and more for the new house but Liam now thinks we are getting a little Mugged out!! The thing is, I have a number of my own mugs and weirdly I can't stand anyone else using them lol. I don't just use my mugs for tea either I put pretty much any drink in them except alcoholic beverages which I drink few and far between. So anyway I got into this state of mind where I was thinking when people come round to the new house I am going to need new mugs so that they don't have to drink from my mugs, and on that note I thought I would show you my new BEAUTIFUL guest mug collection lol......and a few of MY mug faves ;)

 

Paperchase, like I didn't love this shop enough anyway. They had the most beautiful mugs at Christmas time. I saw them and wanted them but hadn't even discussed living with Liam when I saw them so at £6.50 a pop I thought its silly to buy these mugs for the family home when lets face I don't need them!! Anyway Christmas passed and then one day me and Liam just said yeah lets live together. Well my shopaholic side was getting in a very excitable mood at the thought of home furnishings lol. Anyway....whilst looking on the Paperchase website for planner refills I found my beloved Christmas mugs on sale for £3 each!!!! well obvs I had to buy them so I got two!! white, gold foil script ohhhh you cant beat it so on point for me!

 

 Next, I bought Liam the his and hers mug set for Valentines because I remembered him saying he wanted them for when we live together. They are taller than I thought but I still think they are super cute! I purchased these off Amazon and they were £12.

 

 

 

Now bearing in mind I already own several mugs, after the his and hers purchase Liam said that's now enough mugs for the house.....BUT I saw these in Sainsbury's and HAD to get them for guest mugs of course haha :)

 

  

 

The black owl mugs were a steal on sale at £1.25 each (now sold out) and I just thought they were perfect and then the heart mugs at £2.50 each are just so me! Pastel colours with cute slogans 'home sweet home' and my favourite slogan 'live, love, laugh. I think they are so pretty I just love them.

Then we have mugs I already have that are MY mugs and I just can't part with them.

 

 

My Rafael Nadal mug which my Brother-In-Law got me is my all time fave because I just Love Tennis and I am a big Rafa fan on and off court lol. And then all my other mugs have meanings too, the Love heart mugs were both off Liam on previous Valentines Days, Big Spender is a Jamie Oliver mug of my best friend and is a true slogan for me, the cup cake mug is off my mom, the tall lips mug is what I always use if I drink hot lemon and then the border collie mug reminds me of my dog Molly who we sadly lost so I could never part with it. Then of course Liam will be bringing his Peaky Blinder mug to the new house too.....I guess we will just have too many, I don't know I guess I will leave one at my parents and take another to have at work. Either way I could buy more I really am obsessed!

 

What do you think? Do any others out there have this weird obsession or any other compulsions?? comment below and share :)

Lou's Views - Ted Baker Tablet/Ipad Mini Case

I have had my Nexus 7 (reasons why I love this and chose this over an iPad coming up later) for 2 years now but its only recently after a unfortunate scratch (boo hoo) that I purchased a case for it. I don't know about you guys but for me searching for a case was tedious, I couldn't find ANY that I truly loved and wanted. Luckily whilst looking on the Ted Baker website I found this treasure!!!

This was just meant to be :) I didn't even type it in the search engine I just randomly stumbled across it. This is me ALL over. I frigging love it. Its so cute and it fits my nexus in perfectly. The material is so nice to hold, its a smooth patent design and you can get these in pink, nude and black. I chose this deep royal blue because for one blue is my favourite colour, two it definitely to me looked the smartest and most stylish choice and three the blue gem on the gold bow just had me sold!!! The gem is almost topaz colour just a tad lighter ad it has Ted Baker written very discretely underneath which you can read through the clear stone.

 

If you have read some of my blogs you will know that I am loving gold and coppers at the moment so the gold detailing on this just had me even more. It also features a really cute gold zip. This case doesn't open like a book and lay flat it just zips round and opens like a pocket, easy to just slide your tablet in and out. There is also a small pocket inside where you could keep other small bits and bobs maybe your stylus if you use one, that kind of thing. I got this for a bargain because it was on sale when I bought it, I think I paid around £17 for it and I believe it was originally about £32. I am tempted to buy another colour just because I love it so much but I am fighting the urges because I'm cutting down on unnecessary purchases hmmmm (who needs two cases if only one tablet??)

 

 

Oh the packaging was bang on too....cute!
