MAC REBEL.

Hello Everybody! This has got to be one of my all time favourite lipsticks. I'm in love with this lip colour and it is from MAC in the shade Rebel. I love how MAC actually name their lipsticks instead of just numbering them! So I got this colour for Christmas. I did get to choose it and it is actually a colour I've wanted for a very long time. It's quite a berry/pink tone which matches great with the clothes I have so I can wear this a lot. I wear a lot of monochrome and adding a bright lip to that really works. Also have you noticed, MAC Lipsticks smell amazing? Maybe its just me but they do! This colour is perfect for the winter months but I reckon its an all year wearing.

CHRISTMAS WITH LUSH.

 

Hello Lovelies. I know some people may say it's too early to start getting excited for Christmas but it is November and I think its perfectly ok to start preparing for the festive season! Lush is and has always been my favourite when its the winter and Christmas time! Everything seems so magical and fun and cute. I went into Lush the other day and got way too excited and thought I'd only get Christmas things! So that's exactly what I did.

The first thing is one of my favourites and I get it every Year and that is Candy Mountain! I love it so so much! I'm in love with the scent of Snow Fairy and this is very similar and of course I love the bubbles! A new one which I haven't had before is the Butter Bear. But he looks super cute and is amazing for your skin! Another one of my favourites is Luxury Lush Pud. This is just incredible in the bath and makes the most amazing colours! It also smells exactly like Christmas so it is perfect! Finally Melting Snowman! The cutest little bath melt ever! He's kind of missing an eye so im not sure about that but he is also amazing for your skin and is just super cute! I think it's safe to say i'm in love with Lush.

PARIS DAY 1.

DUTY FREE!

This is me, on the Plane.

I was attempting to be one of those super cool people who hold the Eiffel Tower... That's right!

 

Stripy T-Shirt - H&M

Mom Jeans- Urban Outfitters

Check Shirt- New Look

Shoes- Converse Store

 

Saturday 9th August. I got on a plane and flew to Paris... with my family! I wanted to share with you my trip as a memory for me but a story for you. My sister is featured on this post, you can follow her on Instagram. I was so excited for this holiday and it was truly amazing!

For the day of travelling and arriving, I certainly went comfy and casual. This is one of my favourite outfits that I wear all the time but thought it was suitable. I think Mom Jeans are extremely hard to pull off and I don't even think I pull them off very well but I think they look cool and are very comfy compared to the skinny jeans I normally opt for! Stripes are my thing, I have stripy jumpers, t-shirts and even dresses. Its getting out of hand! My bag is from Macy's in New York and it was a Macy's own limited edition last year! Converse go with everything and have always been in fashion so I obviously went for them! 

I Love it.

REVIEW: ALEXA CHUNG "IT"

 

 

 

 Hello Lovelies. My obsession with Alexa Chung is getting way out of hand. Ever since picking this book up in Urban Outfitters has literally changed my life. I don't think I've ever had so much love for a book. First of, even the front cover makes me smile as its so simple yet really effective. For any Fashion lover, or a fan of Alexa herself, this book draws you in and makes you want to read it over and over again. This wonderful pink book has everything from advice from her sixteen year old self, her role models, thoughts and just genuine writings.

This is quite an easy read but a brilliant one for that matter, I've probably most likely read this at least 10 times because its so good! The images are so cool too which is also very engaging as you like to see the meaning behind why that was put there or what happened at the time! Its quite inspiring to see how far she has come from being a sixteen year old and seeing what she does now. I like to relate myself to Alexa Chung, on a much lower scale of course! I highly recommend for you to read 'IT' whether your a reader or not! You will love it!

 

Love you all

SHEFFIELD

Hello Lovelies

I went to Sheffield! It was actually a rather pleasant day which at some points made me smile very big as a certain shop was found - which I love!

You might spot a little yellow shop which you guessed it! COW Vintage! Its my absolutely favourite! Everything in there I could buy, all the crazy styles and colours I actually like instead of my black white and grey tones!





In case you didn't know this a English Lecture inside a church at Sheffield University!

 



Can you tell its my favourite?

 



Absolute Essentials!



Thought this was pretty cool when I saw it!



Another awesome Vintage Store



I just find it completely and totally cool!

During this day, I also ate food but I took it in before the camera came out, so I give you my greatest apologies!

Have you ever been to Sheffield? Did you like it?

Love you all!

DREAMING OF VINTAGE

 
Hello Lovelies!

You may not have guessed it but this is an OOTD post! "Dreaming of Vintage" - So I went shopping as per usual and I just didn't see anything I liked - at all! It was ridiculous. I have a very particular, peculiar style, one that isn't everybody's cup of tea, its just I cannot afford it!

Im all about that Vintage/Grunge Style and just being different! People don't get it! However Primark today did! Now that is a sentence I never thought would get it BUT I really wanted a vintage style blouse and I found one which im completely in love with!

On Saturday Evening I went for a meal at a place called "The Grill" with some of my best friends for a birthday party/gathering style thing! I decided to wear my new top and this was it!

Shirt/Blouse: Primark

Black Jeans: Topshop

Chunky Boots: River Island

Watch: Urban Outfitters

Satchel: Topshop

 

I really liked my outfit and cannot wait to get some more clothes when I next go shopping!

What's on your shopping list?

List of Loves - June Favourites! | Laura Ann

Hello Lovelies!

So I haven't done a favourites blog yet but I've wanted to for a long time but I didn't feel I had enough to talk about....until now! Lets just jump right in! Here are this months favourites!

The first thing is my amazing Penny Board! Last August, on the very last day in New York I purchased a Penny Board! I had really wanted one for a very long time but never bought one... until this holiday! I met two lovely workers called Ben and Byron who helped me out and I've never been so happy with a purchase (apart from clothes they're fabulous!) So this is my Penny!

 

 

The next thing I have been loving is this book: Alexa Chung IT! Let me tell you something, its incredible! Possibly the greatest book I have ever read EVER. The way it is written is so relatable even though her life is much more fabulous than mine, you kind of connect with it! I got it from Urban Outfitters for £16.99 which I guess is expensive for a book but its completely and utterly worth it!

 

The book shows up weird on camera because its a funny material so the lines are not actually there

I'm a complete shoe addict and its gotten quite serious as im stealing my sisters shoes now... We both love Converse and my sister has awesome ones especially these which are so funky and great for summer as they're really bright and colourful! I think these are limited Edition but I don't remember as they are from Florida in 2010.

 

 

 

Back to Books! Ever heard of John Green? Of course he's the author of many books but most popular The Fault in Our Stars! Although im not talking about that one- Paper Towns. Im reading Paper Towns and im addicted- not going into too much detail but its just as good as Tfios!

 









Next on my list of loves is a Kimono! The very popular, the very amazing Kimono. I think these look amazing dressed up or dressed down but I honestly love them! Mine is a very bright pink Patterned design from Primark for just £13!

This is me wearing the Kimono obviously!

I Went to the custard Factory in Birmingham the other day and there's this Vintage store that I fell in love with! I bought some Glasses from there and im now officially addicted to them! I feel they make an outfit abit different and they look very chic!

I could ramble on about a million more things but im going to leave it here... for now! Please let me know what you are loving and I'll talk to you again soon!

The Chunky Shoe | Laura Ann

Hello Lovlies!

Right, recently I have been LOVING the chunky boot/shoe! I already have some chunky cut out boots which you may have seen on a previous blogpost but now they have become my addiction!

I've found this really amazing website that sells all the shoes I love for a very decent price! It's called Lamoda.com!  

These are my absolute favourites which might actually be purchased very soon!

The very first pair, which are white, are my favourites! They're kind of a brogue style and I think they will look cute with every outfit and they are only £20!

Now they're not all boots (obviously) and there are socks on there BUT I thought these shoes with those socks will look amazing and the socks are only £1.00 which is a complete bargain!

Each shoe would look great dressed up or down and yes they're not everyone's cup of tea but most definitely mine! 

What shoes are you really loving? If there are any websites that sell shoes like this for cheap let me know!
