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.

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?

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!

Fathers Day & Fashion Photography!

 

Hello everyone!

I have many posts to come but I need your help! I've been interested in photography a lot, especially linking to fashion so I need your guys opinions on things that I post in the future so just comment below for me what you think!

Anyway today was Fathers Day and we went out to Birmingham! We went to The Custard Factory which is an urban area where many graffiti artists make art and also there are some really cool vintage shops and office spaces! It was a lovely day!

There were some amazing photography spots which really interested me and my Dad! 

For my outfit I went for a classy chic style with a bright red lipstick and a classic bowler hat!

The pictures are taken by my Dad so that's a bonus!!

The glasses I'm wearing are from a vintage store in the Custard Factory and I fell in love with them!! My bowler Hat is from Boohoo.com and my blazer was from New Look!

I hope you have had a lovely weekend and Happy Fathers Day!

Love you Lovelies

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

New Buys: River Island Shoes

Hello Everyone!

So I have spent even more money! I swear I have a problem because I can't go a day without shopping or spending a little bit of money BUT I have wanted this particular pair of shoes for a very long time but could never afford them!

I went into my local river island and went straight to the sale and in the shoe I wanted in the last size for £15 from £45 were the exact shoes I have been wanting!! That last size was my size it was just like fate!

The shoes are very stylish and go with every outfit! I know they're not for everyone but I seriously love them with a passion!

They are the chunky cut out boots that look a little like this:

Have you got anything on your shopping list?

Love you lovelies

What I'm crushing on: Aéropostale

Hello my lovelies!

Right so short story! When I went to New York, on the last day we went into a shop called Aeropostale - I'm almost sure you might have heard of it if not it's a clothing store! Anyway I bought a t shirt from there and I love it to pieces! I regret not buying anything else as we don't have the shop In the UK! So anyway I went looking on the web and found that they ship to the UK! 

This made me very happy so I took a look and I managed to get a list and thought I'd share it with you!

Here we go!

I have the Aeropostale app and it's all in dollars so I do apologise if your British like me!

All of these accept the shoe is from the Bethany Mota range and it's just gorgeous! The red jumper is so chic and will be great in the cooler months but even in the English summer you could wear it so it's great! That is $19.99 which is really good! The next shirt along is very cute and I love the style! Once again good for summer as it's not to thick and would look great with shorts or jeans! It is only $8.99! The black blazer is a must have for every wardrobe! No matter what you wear a black blazer will go with it! That was $17.99! The dress is honestly adorable and will look good dressed up or down! This is $19.99! The Bow necklace will look super cute popping out of a shirt looking all fancy! It's only $2.99 so super cheap! And finally the shoes! I think these would be great for summer and I love the boho chic vibe they have and they are $18.00!

So I do apologise for the dollars but I know that in the uk it would work out cheaper! 

I may have a little spend soon! 

What do you like? Have you got anything from Aeropostale before? What was it?

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!

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!
