TOURING & SHOPPING |ParisDay3

Shirt: Primark

Dungarees: COW Vintage

Choker: Ebay

Backpack: Carolina Herrera 212 VIP

Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters

Monday 11th August. Bonjour! We all woke up, got ready and by the way how good is my eyeliner game- I did that with my NAKED Palette Mirror so it was hard! We went to breakfast at an amazing Café where I had Nutella on French Toast, YUM! Again we went to many places as we did the hop on hop off tour bus - even though we didn't get off the entire time! We caught the Metro to the Champs Elysees and had a coffee. Im sitting with my dad in case you didn't know! Im absolutely in love with anything remotely like overalls/dungarees hence my outfit! They're so comfy! I actually bought some Chocolate from Laduree which was delicious. Notre Dame was one of my favourite places to be, it was so big and amazing I had to take a few moments to take it in. I bought many things but I stuffed it all in that black Backpack. Some things I got were a White Tennis Skirt from a vintage store- similar to the American Apparel Tennis Skirt. Also a T-Shirt that has some Paris Landmarks - how cool. Also I got a jumper and other little bits for friends!

Paris isn't just the City of Love but the City you fall in love with.

COW VINTAGE

 

         Skirt: COW Vintage, £10

           Dungarees: COW Vintage, £20   

          

Hello Lovelies! That's right you guessed it I went shopping and bought more clothes! For a while I have wanted a pleated skirt and I'm not normally a big fan of leopard print, but this skirt just looked really good on the hanger and being slightly big headed it looked good on me! I thought for £10 it's such a good price and for Vintage, which is my favourite, I couldn't resist! Dungarees are my thing right now! I tried some on in Urban Outfitters and just fell in love but they were out of my price range! I knew that COW sold them so when I came I saw them in my size for £20 and immediately bought them! They are quite over sized which I love as it gives a 90's feel to the outfit!

 

I'm going to Paris for a few days, so there will be many outfit posts coming including these items of clothing!

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

Winter Warmth!

Hello everyone!

So it's winter here in England and many other places around the world and that means it's very very cold! At night time I get rather chilly and layer up a lot! I sleep with lots of blankets on just to keep myself warm!

So I thought I'd share with you what I do to keep warm and I'm going to give you my little tips on how to stay cosy in these winter months!

When I get in from school, I like to make a hot drink! I'm the type of person that doesn't like to wear proper clothes when there's no need to, I like to be comfortable, so as soon as I come in and have my hot drink I put my pyjamas on and chill out! When I say 'chill out' that means messing around on my phone, tweeting my socks of! 

Talking about socks, cosy slipper socks are a must have! If your feet are warm, your body is warm! I tuck my bottoms into my socks and put these cute bootie slippers on!

I don't just wear my pyjamas as that doesn't keep me too warm but what I do wear as well is a dressing gown or a fleece poncho! For Christmas I got some cosy keepers! This is a Minnie Mouse style fleece poncho which I just throw on over my pyjamas or even clothes and it keeps me snuggly! I also got this pink and white hooded dressing gown which feels amazing!

Keeping yourself busy also helps you stay warm! If your doing something you won't notice being cold! I don't necessarily mean go running to get warm because I'm very lazy in the winter and going out in the cold to get warm doesn't make sense to me so I potter around in my room, on the computer, or reading! I love reading a lot and lying in bed while having a read is quite relaxing! 

I always try and write when I'm not doing anything and I really enjoy it!

 

Having a cosy room makes you feel cosy too I feel, so I have little fairy lights around my bed and it makes my room look so pretty!

So what do you do in your room, or in the winter when it's too cold to go out?

Love you lovelies!

The Liebster Award!

Hello Everyone!

I'm a bit off topic today, but I've been tagged by http://beautybyeden.blogspot.co.uk/ to do this! Thank you very much by the way! I've read the whole of her blog now and it's so good! If I were you I'd go follow it!

With this tag, you're meant to:

- List 11 random facts about yourself

- Answer the 11 questions provided by the blogger who nominated you

- Choose 11 more nominees and ask them eleven questions (they must have 200 followers or less) - and obviously let them know they've been nominated!

Right, I think I'll just go with it then! My 11 random facts! I'm not the most random of people!

1) I can do the alphabet backwards in under 4 seconds!

2) I cannot walk past Starbucks without buying something! Oopsy!

3) I'm the only person in my family who has blue eyes!

4) I was born on the 9/9/1999 at 9:49

5) My ringtone never changes, it's always the Mission Impossible theme tune!

6) I've been to America 4 times - Florida three times and New York Once - America is my favourite place!

7) I go to a lot of concerts! They're like one of my favourite things!

8) I crave pancakes 24/7, but never actually eat them unless it's pancake day!

9) I want to live in London!

10) I cant stand it when people walk really slow and drag their feet!

11) I get into my pyjamas straight after school unless I'm going out! Better to be comfy!

Now for Eden's Questions!

1) How many pets have you had? Names and other info.

    I've never had a pet! I've been deprived of having one as my sister and Dad have reactions to them!

 2) Favourite day of the week?

    I'd like to say Saturday! But during school Tuesday's are my favourite!

3) If every makeup brand bankrupted and you could only save one, which would it be?

    Oh my goodness! What would I choose, there are so many! I'd have to save Rimmel London, because I use it most!

4) If you had to move anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I'd move to New York, USA because there's so much to do and different areas that range instead of it all the same!

5) Favourite Book?

I have loads, but currently 'Let It Snow' by John Green, otherwise 'The Fault In Our Stars'!

6) First watched YouTuber/Blogger?

I have a lot that I started watching, but the main two on YouTube are Zoe Sugg (Zoella) and Tanya Burr! 

Bloggers: Danielle Kimberly - I found her on Instagram and she has such a good blog! Then the obvious ones are Tanya and Zoe! But I read and watch a lot of people!

7) Have you ever dyed your hair, if yes what colours?

I have, but only half my head! Kind of dip dye, but more subtle and blonde!

8) Favourite place to go?

In the UK, London, it's amazing! But from around where I live, Birmingham is really good for shops! Just in general, shopping is my favourite place to go!

9) Summer or Winter?

A lot may disagree, but I prefer Winter! It's all cosy and cute! Plus, Christmas is in Winter, so really it's a win-win situation!

10) Favourite Quote?

Its a long one ok! This quote is from One Tree Hill!

 "You ever look a picture of yourself, and see a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other peoples life have we been in? Were we a part of someone's life when their dream came true or were we there when their dream died? Did we keep trying to get in? As if we were somehow destined to be there or did the shot take us by surprise? Just think, you could be a big part of someone elses life, and not even know it."

11) Anyone you'd swap lives with for a day?

There's just so many! Probably for a Boy/Man Louis Cole (Fun For Louis) as he lives an adventure and looks amazing! For a Girl I'm going to stick to YouTubers I think - Zoe Sugg! She's absolutely gorgeous and has an amazing life from what I can see haha! Also I want her hair!

Festive Day Out!

Hello Everyone!

So today I visited a few garden centres with my family! Normally I hate garden centres, but when they're all dressed up Christmassy I actually love them! Walking around the little decorated rooms makes me rather excited, it all looks so festive!

There was a cute little farmers market that we went into and it had a lot of things I quite liked and maybe picked up!

For my sister and I, I bought some little cute cookies that we cold hang on the tree and eat on Christmas Eve! Just a little treat for us! We also had a look at all the fresh items and as I was looking around I found Macaroons which look delicious!

Finally there was a Yankee Candle shop and of course I couldn't not stop to smell everything there! I adore all the Christmas Scents and I wish I could have bought loads of candles!

I have lots of pictures for you to see so take a look!

 

 

 

 

 

 

All the Festive Treats look so lovely and I could have spent lots, but obviously I didn't!

Are you looking forward to Christmas? I know I am!

Love you lovelies!

Outfit of the Day: Trip to the Theatre & Birmingham German Christmas Market!

Hello Everyone!
Yesterday, I went to see Miracle on 34th Street at the Theatre! It was so good and I really enjoyed it, just in case you were wondering! After the theatre we also visited the German Christmas Market and it is huge! It smelt so good and looked so pretty at night!

I decided I would dress up a bit and show you what I'm wearing! If you have read previous blog posts you may know that I love tartan and the other day I took a trip to Primark and bought one of the very popular tartan collar dresses! There are so many different colours but I went traditional and got the red one!

I was actually super warm because this dress is quite thick and the tights I wore were the super cosy tights from Primark!

Dress: Primark. Leather Jacket: Punky Fish. Boots: New Look. Bowler Hat: Boohoo.com

This is my beautiful sister and I on the Ferris Wheel in the German Market!

What's your Favourite thing at the German Market? Tell me in the comment box below!       

Love you lovelies

Lush Cosmetics!

So today I went to the one and only Lush!
Lets begin with how good it smells! I have always wanted to buy something from Lush as I had seen people rave about it!

When I went in I knew I wanted the 'Candy Mountain' and I saw it straight away! Did I get it? Why yes, yes I did! 
I wanted more than one item because I'm such a greedy person *wink wink*, I kept looking for other ones and my eye always seemed to catch the melting snowman! So I picked it up!

I could have bought the whole shop, it's just that good!

Here are the products that I bought:

This is so cute and will smell amazing when used!

How scrumptious does this look though, really?

The packaging is so nice!

Love you lovelies!

Personally, my family stay in pyjamas for presents and then get dressed up around midday for the rest of Christmas!

My mom, it's time for me to treat her, because she works so damn hard all year round :)

The Sweater Weather Tag!

Hello Everyone!

So, it's Autumn in England now, which means Sweater Weather! I love Winter and Autumn, as it's so cute and frosty and wonderful!

I'm just going to get started!

Favourite Candle Scent
Probably Caramel Apple Spice or Honey Spice, anything like that! 
I love Yankee Candles!

Coffee, Tea or Hot Chocolate
Tough. But Hot Chocolate all the way!

What's your best Autumn memory?
Penny boarding with two of my best friends! 

Which make up trend do you prefer? Dark Lips or Winged eyeliner?
Definitely dark lips; I love both, but I think lips are more of a statement and you can change the colour up! 

Best fragrance for Autumn
For perfume definitely FCUK, they're so nice and Wintery! But for a home fragrance, I'd say a cosy caramel scented candle!

Favourite Thanksgiving food
This question is difficult, because, well, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Britain; but if we did, probably Turkey :)

What is Autumn weather like where you are from?
I'm from England, so it's very cold and frosty with all the leaves on the ground, but quite cosy indoors :')

Must have Nail Varnish this Autumn
The Maybelline Colour Show in 103:Marinho. It's a lovely, dark and autumnal colour!

Football games or jumping in leaves?
Definitely leaves, you can watch a Football game all year, but you can't jump in leaves!

Skinny Jeans or Leggings?
For me Skinny Jeans, but Leggings are super cute with a Jumper and Boots!

Combat boots or Uggs?
Combat boots all the way for me!

Is Pumpkin Spice worth all the hype?
Personally not in my opinion, but it depends on your preference, it's very strong scent, I'm not keen!

Favourite Autumn TV Show
F.R.I.E.N.D.S

What song gets you into the Autumn spirit?
I don't have many - just Christmas songs, to get me in the Christmas spirit leading up to the Holidays!

What's your favourite thing about Autumn?

Thank you so much for reading!
Please follow and come back for more!

Love you lovelies!
