ALL AROUND PARIS.


















Denim Jacket: River Island
Pleated Skirt: COW Vintage
Jelly Shoes: Vintage Store
Black Top: New Look
Backpack: Carolina Herrera 212 VIP
Choker: Ebay
Sunday 10th August. Day 2. We literally went everywhere! From the Eiffel Tower, to the Louvre, The Champs Elysees and The Arc De Triumph! I loved exploring Paris and going to different places! We visited one of many 'Love Lock Bridges' where me and the rest of my family bought a lock and threw away the key. I put me and my best friend Lish on there which was pretty cool! Its very picture heavy but there's just to much to show! You can see me looking at makeup and that was in Sephora which I have already wrote about! We took the Metro to The Moulin Rouge and that was a sight in itself. It looked amazing at night and we had a lovely Starbucks outside it!
I actually sat on a lamp post outside the Arc De Triumph and also gained many bruises from stupidly jumping on it. I thought it was cool though (the picture not the bruises).
We did all sorts, so if you want to know about anything in particular please comment and ill tell you!
Paris is my Heaven.

SEPHORA | Paris Haul








 
 
Hello lovelies! I've now been to Paris! It was incredible, one of the most amazing places I have ever been too! BUT im not going to tell you too much as I have multiple blog posts that are coming in the near future to tell you all about it!
Anyway one of my main goals in Paris was to visit and buy something from Sephora. We do not have a Sephora anywhere in England so when I found out I was going to Paris I actually thought how good it will be to go to Sephora! If you don't know what it is, its a shop that sells high end make-up, Perfume, and has its own Brands! I purchased the MAC Powder at Birmingham Airport but they did sell it in Sephora so im technically not cheating! I got all Sephora's own brand of Bubble bath, Body lotion and fizzy cubes! The shop itself had an amazing atmosphere so even then I knew I had to buy something!

I can't wait to tell you more about my trip so keep an eye out and I'll see you soon.

Hello lovelies! Finally I have bought the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette! I've wanted this for absolutely ages and now I finally have it! As soon as it arrived I automatically took a photo of it and bragged about it on my Instagram! It's incredibly beautiful and the colours are amazing!
I feel that even the box is just too pretty and everything about it is just perfectly clear! The brush it comes with is amazing as it's very soft and blends really well! Now that I have this one I kind of want them all...
 
The Colours are (from left to right)

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!


Love you all!

What I'm crushing on: Urban Outfitters

Hello everyone!

So I think that I'm due a crushing on post! I love clothes so so so much yet I can't get enough as I need to save for my trip to Paris so I'm holding back! 

So I'm back to window shopping!

Here are a few things I'm loving from Urban Outfitters:




So I cannot afford one single item from this picture!! I am literally dreaming for all these things! I'm going to paris in august and need some clothes and these are the items I'm looking for! The hat is something that I wouldn't normally go for BUT a rapper called Lil Za who is friends with Justin Bieber wears them all the time and I just really like them even though I wouldn't suit it!!

The dresses are super cute and would look gorgeous with a pair of boots and a cute satchel! 

I need the skirt and shorts now! I think they will look amazing in the summer and could be dressed up or down!!

What sort of things are you looking for? Any spring/summer trends you are loving? 

Love you lovelies

My Current Favourites!

Hello Everyone!

I have started 2014 off loving a lot of things clothes to beauty products! I thought id share with you what im loving so lets get straight to it!

The first thing, which I got at Christmas, is this Clinique Cleanser! It is amazing! Before I'd never really used a cleanser I just used cheap makeup wipes but using this has made me realise how moisturising it is to the skin! When I use it and afterwards too my skin feels so much better and refreshed which is so good! I defiantly recommend this cleanser! 


This next item I also got at Christmas and its the Maybelline 'Falsies' Mascara. Its so good and really does give volume to the lashes! Its my favourite mascara from my whole collection!

These next two things are perfumes and I have had them for a while but these are my favourites ever! They are the 'Justin Bieber Girlfriend perfume' and 'Justin Bieber The Key' I ran out of the actual perfume bottles but short story when I went to see the 'Believe Movie' they were handing out free samples and my friend and I got about nine of each! So yes they smell amazing and don't underestimate the name! They are fabulous!

Im sure everyone knows the 'Maybelline Baby lips' but this one is my favourite and its in 'Cherry me'. I have found this is the most moisturising for me and works nicest! It is also slightly tinted so that's great for school too!  
 
 
The next thing came in a set from Seventeen but you can buy it on its own and that's this eyeliner! there's not much to say apart from BUY IT! Its brilliant and works really nicely!

Im sure you already know my obsession with these shoes but I had to throw them in! I love them, they're so comfortable and pretty! They go with everything so its great!

You may also know my obsession with Tartan! But yes these three pieces - two tartan dresses and tartan trousers- are just addictive to wear! They look amazing with so many different styled outfits and just are perfect! I've found that the trousers and the right tartan dress actually are very slimming and make your figure stand out so nicely!
 
 
So there we go 'My Current Favourites', I hope you have enjoyed this post and please tell me in the comments below what you are loving!
 
Love you lovelies!

Primark&Lush: Haul

Hello Everyone!

Happy New Year! So the other day I went shopping! My shopping list started as checked trousers and t-bar shoes but I came back with a little different! I didn't actually get any shoes as there were none in stock but I have ordered them online and should be here soon so that's very good!

So lets get started on what I actually did purchase!

The first place I went was Selfridges, there was a lot I wanted but I held myself back! Walking through the Bobby Brown and M-A-C section was like a dream! I have to say I took a peak at the mac lipsticks but held myself back!

Anyway I went to the Primark that is in Selfridges as it has all the 'posher' clothing there!
I picked up a Disney t-shirt which has bambi on it and its so so cute!

It is very comfortable as well! I've worn it so much already!

Moving on to the main Primark in Birmingham! I bought too items from here which we're lucky finds! I didn't expect to find them but I did! 

So I firstly picked up this satchel which was £9.00 and I've wanted a satchel for a long time now but they're quite expensive therefore this is a cheaper option but also looks the same as a high end one! I also bought some checked trousers which were £12 but when I got to the till she said they were only £5 which is a right bargain! I wore these trousers on New Years Eve so you can check my previous blogpost to see what they look like on! 



The bag is very spacious which is actually very helpful! It's also quite strong for such a cheap bag! I love it!

The next shop was Lush! We all know how much I love Lush! I could not possibly leave without buying something!

I firstly got this which smells like candy hearts, those sweets! 



This is called 'space girl' and I'm so excited for it!

The next one has quite a subtle smell but I'm not sure how to describe it- you will learn I cannot describe scents! 
But it looks like this and is called Pop in the Bath, Bubble Bar Slice!
There were different colours of it too (blue,pink&yellow) but I thought it would be interesting in the bath! It actually did turn out Green!

The next thing from Lush which I actually didn't buy, my sister got me this for Christmas and that is the very popular Snow Fairy Star Wand and looks like this...
 
It's got a cute little bell on it! I had wanted this for a while but they were always sold out as they are very very popular! It is reusable which is why I quite like it and smells divine! If you have smelt snow fairy- that's it!

So what products have you bought from Lush? Do you have any favourites?

Thankyou!

Love you lovelies!
