Autumn/Winter wishlist 2019

We all know I love a bit of shopping! I popped into my local high street/shopping centre and found so many lovely bits in this year as well as things online. I absolutely love autumn time to me it's just cosy, grab a coffee or tea and either watch a film or go sit in a coffee shop and watch the day go by, that's if you haven't got anything to do lol.

I thought I would share with you all what pieces I am currently loving and potentially will end up buying!

My goals for April

I thought I would try something new to my blog it's not a totally new thing as I have read and watched things like this before. I do like the idea of having a goal or aims for the month something to work to. So without rambling on too much here are my goals for April

Read a book
I have a pile of books to read but I just find myself with no time to read but then I sit there not doing anything? So I am making it my aim to read more I used to love reading a book especially before bed. I have one ready that I'm excited to start Good Vibes, Good Life by Vex King, I know I won't finish the book in a month but who knows. Maybe when I do eventually finish it I'll update you guys on my thoughts.

Plan more/organise
Literally if you know me you know I love to organise and plan weekends away, blog posts etc but it has been slacking a little bit lately but I soon want to be back on track. I love my Filofax it is always with me as I tend to forget if I have things planned also I always have a notebook as well this is to keep any ideas down so I don't forget them. Also I have a few like weekly planners which are good for when I'm at home and have things to do. So next month I will be organising and planning more, it's like I have an obsession with knowing what's going on but believe me there is days where I will just go with the flow and not have anything planned and have the best times ever.

Clear/update wardrobe
This is going to be a struggle and I am not looking forward to this. For the longest I've wanted to go through my wardrobe and just be a bit cut throat and actually throw things away that I know I haven't worn and don't plan to wear! As I go through everything I will be looking to see if there is any staple items I need to replace or actually buy. I don't just throw things away in the bin I will often put items up on my Depop or give them to charity.

Spring clean
There is nothing more therapeutic then a good clean, open up the windows get some fresh air in, get some nice room sprays and just clean. There is now so many nice smelling cleaning products out there now and I've picked up a few tips from Mrs Hinch! I think I might do this after I have gone through my clothes and try organise things more.

Do you have any goals for April?

Primark gym wear

Over the last few months or so I have really got back into the gym and my passion for it is coming back. I have been going gym for the past couple years now and it initially to get fit and loose weight but after a while it became more to help with my anxiety and to try keep my mind off things and it definitely does I have noticed I am so much happier and feeling more positive about things although I still have some days where I do feel down but more time it's all good.

The one thing which is a must about leggings for gym is they have to be high waisted and a decent waist band which is slightly tight as there is nothing worse than having a them constantly fall down and your yanking them up in the middle of your walk or run on the treadmill! I like to feel a bit supported but comfortable at the same time. T-shirts/tops at the moment I am not where I want to be in my physical appearance to wear like the fitted tops so I just often pick up a baggy top sometimes even pick them up from the mens section I find them more comfortable.

A few new things for Autumn

After going through my wardrobe on my week off, getting rid of clothes I haven't worn in over a year and know I'm not ever going to wear again or even wear for a first time. I try to go through my clothes well everything at least twice a year and I either pop some items which have barely been worn and still have a lot of use left on my Depop Store (search JanayAndre) or I give them to charity. I created some space in my wardrobe and as I was going through it I realised I could do with some more tops to wear casually out and to chill.

Me and my mum popped into Matalan a couple times in the last week, we forget we have one in Ipswich because of the location. I only went in for a pair of jeans and bought more than I intended to, oops! I pretty much have two new outfits that I can mix and match. I have always found the materials used of a good quality and know that they will last.

New shoes and more

A couple of weeks ago I popped into town to pick up the L'Oreal matte foundation and to look for some pumps as the weather is getting a little bit warmer and not so much boot weather. A few other things were bought as well, things that I didn't intend on buying but couldn't resist. I like do buy a few things at a time instead of buying loads all in one go, one because buying loads mean achy arms and I need to find space to put the new stuff!

Shopping in Westfields

Last weekend we decided to stop by Westfields on Sunday on our way home from seeing Beyoncé on the Saturday. First thing we did though was have a cheeky Nandos, it had to be done (and we kind of skipped breakfast so we was hungry). Pretty much every shop we had gone into had a extra long queue, I have no idea why but everyone thought it would be a good idea to go shopping at that point. I did ideally want to pick up a few things mainly tops, as I seem to have enough jeans, skirts, trousers and leggins and I'm starting to think of late that I'm struggling to find tops in my wardrobe or I find myself wearing the same things on the weekends. There is not many (if any) stores that have plus size clothes in Westfields in Stratford but at the moment where I am loosing weight I am starting to find myself being able to shop in some of the "normal" high street stores which is a good thing and personally it makes me happy. I will never be skinny, partially because that's not how I am built and who wants to be skinny, like common really? 

Last couple weeks shopping haul

I have been a little naughty over the last couple weeks shopping when I don't really need to but that's what I love to do. Now that the season is changing I thought it was time for some change/update on a few things and I'm slowly getting out of the by everything in black mode. You may notice that H&M is a shop I'm slightly obsessed with but they are reasonably priced and always have what I'm looking for. You may think I've bought a fair few bits but this is just the beginning of change for me. So here's what I purchased in the last two weeks and there will be more to come !!

Catching up with some family

Yesterday I met up with my Nan I haven't seen her in a month which is not good but we decided to meet up in town get a couple bits and just have a catch up. We strolled through high street popped in a couple shops, I saw a few things I liked but I was looking for a blazer or pair of leggings or jeggings or jeans in a lighter colour (all I have is dark colours, mainly black!). I was happy to find a blazer, that I had been looking at online for a while, in New Look Inspire, I tried it on and it was perfect very comfortable and stretchy it wasn't the kind that made you feel restricted at all. I had to purchase it along with a grey and neon pink floral scarf, if you know me you know I love scarves! Also I had popped to Tesco's as I had no luck in the town centre with finding any leggings/jeggings and actually found some skinny jeggings in a light stone wash colour from the F&F section. I haven't got a picture of them yet but I'm sure you will see them soon on my Instagram, LOL! Later in the evening me and my Aunties, Nan and Cousin were invited to a friend of the familys for a few drinks which turned out to be a classic family get together. We all had such a laugh some drinks, dancing and talking about this summer. One thing that was mentioned, was about the Global Rhythm music in the park day that happens every year in Christchurch Park and this year its on 12th July from 1pm - 7pm. We had all been to last years and we all thoroughly enjoyed it but hadn't arranged anything between ourselves to take any food or set up a spot so we could sit instead of standing all day. We have decided for a few us to all make some food and make a day of it and have a picnic in the park and enjoy the music and hopefully it will be a beautiful day! So that is something I'm currently looking forward to in the summer.
