Lips Haul

Hello lovelies, today my lips got spoilt! Only a few purchases but things i've been wanting to try nonetheless. 



First stop was Topshop, at the moment they are doing 20% off so I did very well to keep myself in the makeup section and not even look at any clothes! (I genuinely have a shopping problem). But I have heard good things about the topshop makeup and especially the lipsticks so I decided to give them a go. There are so many lovely colours, the same goes to the nail varnish, and I spent ages trying to find my favorites (my friends tried on like 3 outfits in the time it took me to choose) I finally decided on the one from the lips section and I turn around to see more choices of colours of the sheer lips. So obviously I had to indulge in both. I wanted quite light colours as I have a few dark, and I picked a really sweet colour called 'macaroon' in the lips (so it also sounds delicious) which is a lovely pink shade, and then a slightly more orangey pink in the sheer lips called 'play with fire'.
These both retail at £8.00 but as I had 20% student discount I think they were about £6.40 each.








Next I ventured into superdrug, I was actually looking for the new Zoella products to have a little nosey, but it seemed that that superdrug was rubbish and didn't have any! However these little gems caught my eye. I have a few of the baby lips collection but i've actually not tried these before, and they were £2.99 each but with a buy one get one half price offer on. It was a tough choice to just choose two but I settled on 'Cherry Me' and the 'Strike a Rose' from the electro collection. Sticking to the pinkish theme i've carried with my lips on this blogpost.


I'm really impressed with them all to be honest and I can see my collection growing very soon!



Thanks for reading guys,

Top Swimwear Picks

Hello lovelies, Today i will be sharing with you my top bikini's I love for this summer as my wardrobe is seriously lacking in these items of clothing.








My first choice is this very cute watermelon print bikini with high waisted bottoms. I really like the look of the high waisted bottoms but if you don't they also have regular bottoms. This bikini is from New look and you can get it for around 25 pounds depending on what bottoms you want. Watermelon print is adorable at the moment, along with pineapples, they would look equally as cute on a bikini.












This one is from Topshop and has another similar bralet style, and i think this is really flattering for any body and bust shape, and i really love the patterns on this. The reason i am mainly going for darker colour bikini's so far is because i am a milk bottle, typically english and don't tan in the slightest! Although i love white bikini's, i think they look so classy... I just can't pull them off, which upsets me greatly. This bikini is £34.00 and you can buy it from here. They also have a very similar one in a reddy burgundy colour which is also very nice.









Moving on to a swimsuit now, i don't think this picture does it justice at all. This pattern is amazing and i love it and although it doesn't look it on the mannequin, i think it would be really flattering. This one is from River Island and is a limited edition. This is £30.00 and you can get it from here online.















Another one from New Look again, and this is in the Kelly Brooke line which i know fits me really well and is really flattering. Plus the pattern is adorable. And thats around £30.00 from here.

















There are so many others i could post on here but not enough time i'm afraid, but these are just a few of my faves for summer '14. As i will be purchasing a lot of these i will let you guys know how they are.

Get the Festival look

Hello lovelies, 

Now as summer approaches, its getting more and more into the festival season! So i am going to share with you some of my faves for this years festival season.




Now, firstly it is essential to have some kind of flowery head piece! I actually purchased this one from Misguided for only £3.99. This is a look that not many can pull off when not actually at a festival, so good on you if you can!

It's just a really simple headband that will make you feel summery and at one with the festival! You can get these at pretty much any high street store and online at the moment as everyone will be stocking up for whichever festival takes your fancy.







Another favourite accessory of mine for festivals is some crazy sunglasses! I personally love these heart sunglasses as they are super cute and just fun. You can get these here from ebay for as little as 99p! Bargain. 




When it comes to what to where, there is either the classic denim shorts and a tshirt which i did every day last time i went, but this year i wanted to explore dresses to wear and what better than a floral dress to make you feel summery!



For festivals, I am obsessed with the daisy pattern at the moment, and i loved this little skater dress as its so simple to just shove on with a pair of wellies! This dress is again from Misguided for £19.99.















With the usual denim shorts i found the cute little bralet which would go with basically anything, if you wanted to add a floral kimono or all sorts. And this is on Ebay for £16.99, here.

Festival season, in England anyway, in not exactly know for its amazing weather, and so us British girls need to be prepared! If you like to do things on the cheap, like myself (when i am a poor student with no job) I think a simple rain poncho will do the job and still look stylish... well as stylish as you can when you look like you are wearing a bin liner! But look around because you can actually get some really funny ones like this 'Egg fried poncho' here. 

Or if you do have a bit more money to spare, i really love the look of this clear raincoat! This would keep you nice and dry, not too warm and you still get to show off your outfit! This one is from Topshop for £40.00, but if you hunt around you might be able to find some bargains!
















As i am going to a festival this year i am looking forward to sharing with you what i am going to take!

Shopping Haul: Number 1

So, i've been spending more money yet again that i can't afford, and i regret nothing!






 My favourite purchase out of all these and probably the best bargain are my boots.

 Been wanting a pair like these for a while now, and they are actually only from Primark for i think it was £18.00! So i was a very happy bunny.









My second favourite, although perhaps not a bargain is this Kimono from New Look, for £24.99, which you can buy here. I adore this Kimono, its got great colours to style with and i love the tassels at the bottom. Also in this picture are a pack of earrings i picked up in the sale in Miss Selfridge for £2.50. I got these just for day to day wear and they have proved very useful just cause i can shove them in with basically any outfit and it will go.





Another thing i got from Miss Selfridge is this cute blue fluffy jumper, which is in the sale for £15.00! And you can still get that online from here. Also in the picture is a gold chain necklace, i really wanted one of these just to wear casually to make outfits look a bit more bold sometimes, I got it from Accessorize for £10.00, which at first i wondered if it was a bit much, but i am going to get so much wear out of it! And also from Accessorize i got a little ring pack, with rings and midi rings to start off my collection, as i will be buying more! I think they were £12.00 and you get 7 rings.




 Next, i got these sunglasses from Topshop, as i was in major need of glasses that actually kept the sun from blinding me! plus we've just had some amazing hot weather here in the UK, so i thought they were a necessity. I got them for around £14.00 with my student discount.











I was in need of some new pajamas also, and i only really got these for the stripy shorts but the shirt is also really cute. I got these from primark for £5.00!








And lastly, i went to see the one and only MCBUSTED! And it was amazing, and so obviously i got their tour shirt, which set me back £20.00, but so worth it!










So that concludes how much i have over-spent on clothes etc


Much love

Vampire Diaries 'Get the look'

Now as the season 5 finale is almost at its end, and we will all be watching on thursday evening (if you are lucky enough to be able to watch it in America) or for us English people, watching it online on the Friday at some point. So i've selected some of my favourite outfits from season 5.


Katherine Peirce



So Katherine Peirce is the character we all love to hate, and here in episode 6 of season 5, she is looking her usual bitchy but stunning self. This dress is sweet, so can be a casual summers dress in the day, but also on a night out or date night it would look great! I found the exact dress here, but could be a little pricey for some of you. I found a similar dress with the lace and floral print for a lot cheaper, but its up to as personally i prefer Katherine's actual dress.

Now for the Bag, you can't actually see it other than the chain strap, i imagine a little black bag with this outfit so i found this one here. But this is totally up to you as how you want to accessorize.




Caroline Forbes 


So this is from episode 8 in season 5, and its just a really simple flattering dress that can be made casual or fancy and i really like the pattern. Found the exact dress here from America. Now Caroline's necklace is pretty simple, found the exact one here, but its a bit pricey and i'm sure you can find something for cheaper like this one here, but i'll leave that mainly up to you guys! 




Elena Gilbert


I admire Elena (or Nina) because the outfits they put together for are actually really simple and casual, but she still manages to look amazing! This outfit i found a really similar top from forever 21, and i really love forever 21. Now sticking with the summer vibe, just paring this with denim shorts or a nice little flowy skirt would look great, again i will leave that up to you! 

Because this is such a basic outfit if you have a starting point (the top) its so easy to fit your style into it! So have fun with that girls.




Bonnie Bennett


 We all love Bonnie, but sometimes her outfits are a little... plain for me. However i really loved this top and although i couldn't find an exact match, i found this one very similar here. The exact necklace she's wearing i also found here.

Now for summer obviously just pairing this with shorts or something would be good. But in this episode she's wearing dark jeans and buckled boots. Ones like these, but feel free to look around to something you'd prefer!












With season 5 getting wrapped up very soon i am very excited to see what unfolds and i hope this gave you some inspiration to go find a new outfit! 

Much love
xoxo
