AND THE FESTIVITIES BEGIN...

Hat: Primark

Rings: Bershka

Dress: George @ ASDA

Coat: Primark

Shoes: Doc Martens Original

I went to a Christmas Market in Worcester today ad it was lovely! Everywhere was decorated so Christmassy and every one was so joyful! I'm extremely excited for Christmas so going to places like this makes me rather happy. I had my Christmas music playing all day in my head and I was looking out for gift ideas while at the markets! We stopped at a Costa Coffee and I had the tastiest Orange Hot Chocolate ever! I felt so Christmassy and warm while drinking it I must say. I did pick up a few things for myself! I got a heart shaped Slate board where I can write notes on. I got a pair of earrings in the shape of Christmas Wreaths and I finally got the butter bear from Lush because obviously I can't go shopping without buying something from there!

NOVEMBER PLAYLIST.

Hello lovelies! So I've decided to make music playlists per month! I thought I'd share with you my on repeat songs of this month! The arctic monkeys will forever be my favourite band and this is from their album 'whatever people say I am, that's what I'm not'. I have to say that is my favourite album! The song is so relatable to life! Swim deep are from my own city so automatically I love them but their music is so good! Jake Buggs voice will never grow old, I love him. Everyone knows my love for Ed hence the sneaky song I have thrown in their and finally The 1975, their music is so incredible!

POLAROID.

 

 I've always wanted a polaroid camera. I still haven't got one. But I have found the best thin g ever where I can get loads of polaroid's! I was reading someone's blog and they mentioned 'Polagram' and it has been my addiction! I wanted to share this with you as I know many people love polaroid's but can't afford cameras and film like myself! I ordered a range, pictures from my holiday, from my Instagram and just people I Love (Alex Turner, Alexa Chung and Jake Roche from Rixton). They are going to look super cute on my wall and I just love polaroid's!

BANANAS.

 

Ingredients

 

1 Banana

Half a cup of Milk

Half a cup of Ice

Caramel Syrup/Flavouring

 

I've recently wanted to start sharing with you recipes and little things I like to make which are quick and easy. This week I decided to make a Banana Milkshake. There are thousands of recipes which use other ingredients but mine is very simple and super quick! This recipe is for 1 Person but you can just double the ingredients for more. Now I know everyone pretty much knows how to make smoothies/milkshakes but its abit different and something you can do anytime!

 

Firstly, you need to chop your banana up and throw it in the blender. While your throwing things, the ice and milk need to go in there too! You don't have to add Syrup if you don't want to, honey is another good option too. Any flavour works but the Caramel just gives it a little more taste. Whizz it all up and your done! Pour it into your favourite cup and enjoy. If you want, you could add cream too it- I didn't but you could! I just sat down with my drink and did some blogging!

I hope you liked this post- if you want me to make anything please comment below and I'd be happy too!

OOTN: Gavin Degraw Concert!

Hello Everyone!

So long time no speak! First off im so sorry, I really have no excuse BUT heres a post now and its a very exciting post!

So for those of you who have very good taste in Music you may have heard of someone called Gavin Degraw! He's a musican/singer from The United States in New York and has come to Europe for his Make a Move Tour! Today is the 26th February which is his first date in Europe and im very happily going tonight! Its starting off in the UK which is where I am!

So to show off my excitement and not annoying the parents, I thought id tell you about it I my blog- well my outfit anyway!

So im going quite simple and not really dressed up, quite casual!

So for my outfit I have a checked shirt around my waist because it looks swaggy! No I'm only joking well... If inside I get a little chilly I can just pop it on!

But I wore that with black jeans and a top that says style is fashion! With my converse!

I really love black jeans and they go with everything so that's even better! Checked tops are my favourite things at the moment and I've worn mine a lot already and I only got it last week!!!

The concert was incredible! Afterwards we stopped behind and met Gavin, I held his hand and basically had a moment of complete fangirling!! 

Here are some pictures of the concert!!

This is the moment I met Gavin and held his hand!!

He got so close to us it was amazing 

So I hope you enjoyed this blogpost and there are many to come! I have them all planned out and ready!

Do you know Gavin Degraw? Are there any concerts your going to or have been too? Comment below, I'd love to hear about it!

Love you lovelies

Weekend OOTD!

Hello everyone!

It is indeed the weekend! That consists of two days which means two outfits - clever counting laura! I'm going to show you two outfits and I will hopefully inspire your outfit choices!

So on Saturday I was a little dressy but fashion is a statement not a style, fashion does not have to be worn casually nor outside the runway! So it does not matter!

Shoes: Top shop, Necklace & Rings: Primark, Bracelet: H&M, Frilly Socks: Primark, Dress: Primark!
So this outfit looks quite classy, old school but also very modern! I love it and wear this probably too much but it never gets old and seems to look different each time!

Sunday! On Sunday I went to the Pub with my family and its so lovely in there! It also has a very good WIFI connection!

Jumper: ASOS & eBay, Necklace: Primark, Boots: George-ASDA
So I wore jeans with this outfit but I left the bottoms out as you could pair it with leggings, jeans or even a skirt! My jumper is quite oversized so its very very comfortable and its my favourite jumper ever! The boots are just a must have for every outfit- they're so comfy! For me comfort is key so I like a lot of things that make me feel nice!


What did you do this weekend? Anything fancy or did you just chill?
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!

New Years Eve: Hair, Make Up & outfit

Hello Everyone!

Happy New Year! I hope you've had a great year and an even better one to come!

So firstly makeup - as my main outfit is Black and White - so I've gone for a Bright Red Lipstick and Winged Eyeliner as a statement to the outfit! 

These are the products I used:

The Kate Moss Lipstick is in 107 and it's my favourite, I use it all year round! The Mascara is Maybelline: 'The Falsies' and this is also my favourite Mascara, I love it to pieces! 

I don't use Foundation too much, but I like to keep it natural anyway, so I used a Tinted Moisturiser by the Natural Collection at Boots. 

I use the Rimmel 'Stay Matte Powder' as it's my favourite and I really recommend it!

I kept my hair simple by just straightening it with a quiff. 

So the best bit my outfit!

I really like wearing Black and White at the minute! I'm not a bright colour person if I'm honest!

My trousers are from Primark and they were only £5! Such a bargain! I will probably live in these trousers now! I love them so much! 

The top is also from Primark and it was only £8! My boots are from New Look and were £24.99!

So what are your plans for New Year? Do you have any resolutions?

Happy New Year!

Love you lovelies!

MUA Cosmetics Haul!

Hello Everyone!

So, a few days ago I ordered some bits and pieces from MUA Cosmetics! Today the products finally arrived and I thought I'd show you what I bought!

I wanted a statement Lipstick and I certainly got it! I bought two Lipsticks, one in Pouty Pink and the other is Scarlet Siren!

I ordered a Blusher in Shade 1 - not sure why they don't have colours, but it's a Pinky-Cream colour! Of course I need something to apply it with, so I bought a Blusher/Contouring brush!

I've needed a new Eye Liner for ages as mine is a Liquid Liner, but it takes me forever to apply as I struggle with it! I found a felt eyeliner and im in love with it! It is so easy to apply and lasts a long time!

Finally, I didn't buy this, but I wanted a eye shadow palette and my friend bought me the Dusk 'till' Dawn Eyeshadows! They're so beautiful and great for Christmas and New Years, or just in general!

Here are the products!

Have you ever tried MUA? If so, what's your favourite product?

Love you lovelies!

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!
