Cute Buy of the Month: Grumpy Cat Pyjama Top

Asda Cat Pyjama Top - £6

Continuing with the cat theme, my cute buy of the month for May is this ever-so-cute, but true, grumpy cat pajama top from Asda! My friend sent me a picture of this top when she spotted it inside her local Asda and I knew I had to buy it! It describes me so well. But who doesn't love some comfort food and a nap??

It's very lightweight so it'd be a good pajama top to take on holiday with you or just for the summer and  the best part is it's only £6! You can even get free delivery if you have it delivered to your local store. Bargain!

The Perfect University Bag: Longchamp Le Pilage

Longchamp Le Pilage Large Shopper in Navy - £68 at Selfridges

With a lot of people at this time thinking about their upcoming first year at university in September, I thought now would be the perfect time to review this bag which got me through my first year of my degree. I bought my Longchamp Le Pilage last summer when I was in London in the hope it would be useful for university and I couldn't have been more right! This is the large size of the bag and it fits just about anything I'd need to lug around university with me - my (rather massive) laptop, folders, textbooks, lunch etc. It also folds down into a tiny little pouch when you're not using it so it's perfect if you're going to be living away from home and travelling back a lot as you can just fold it up and tuck it in your suitcase for later use. 

It is also very hard-wearing. When I bought mine my boyfriend cheekily commented that the straps wouldn't last very long but from all the junk I've carried around in it these past months, I can definitely vouch for its sturdiness! It also has shown barely any signs of wear - as you can see from the photos above it looks virtually brand new! It is also very practical as the inside lining is waterproof - perfect for klutzes like me who accidentally manage to spill coke all over the inside... oops...

Although it is a bit pricier than the average bag at £68 for the large size, I would definitely recommend the investment!

Are you heading off to uni in the Autumn? Have you started preparing yet?
