ESPAÑA.



 
About a week ago, I went on holiday to Spain and it was really fun and warm but unfortunately I'm not very tanned. My best friend owns an apartment there so she invited me to go which I'm very grateful for! It was also my best friends birthday while being there so we went to a place called MundoMar and I got to have a photo with a dolphin which was the coolest thing ever. Summer wasn't too good in England so everything that I purchased In the summer I got to wear now because it was so warm. We had a few beach days, some shopping days which was my favourite and some chill by the pool kind of days! The weather was amazing and I admittedly fell in the sea a few times, despite my best efforts not too.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

What I'm Crushing On: Topshop

Hello Everyone!

It's that time again! What I'm crushing on, but this time it's Topshop! Whenever I go to Topshop, there is always something that I want, but can never afford! So I can dream in this blog!

My clothing style is quite indie/grunge and I love it! In my crushes there is a pair of shoes as always and I'm probably going to end up buying them because I adore them so much!

Let's get started!


Martie Patent T Bar Geek Shoes £32.00, Soft Floral Shirt £32.00, Moto Dark Acid Tee Dress £38.00
Red Checked Treggings £28.00, Checked Tee £32.00, Moto vintage Borg Denim Jacket £58.00
Colourblock Crossbody Bag £65.00, TopShop Lip Bullet £8.00, Zig Zag weave Shorts by Boutique £100.00


Knowing me I will eventually buy these shoes, because I adore them so much! 
The floral top is very pretty but cropped, saying that it would look amazing with high waisted disco pants or jeans! I think the dress is absolutely gorgeous and would buy it in a heartbeat! If I had £38 spare of course! I love the Treggings so much, not sure if I would personally suit them but I still love them! I'm also in love with the checked top - would look amazing with anything high waisted especially disco pants! Next one of my absolute favourite things - the denim jacket! Oh my goodness just look at it! How perfect for winter though really? The fur inside looks amazing and just so snuggly! 

The bag and shorts are a little pricey for what I would pay, but how pretty are those shorts! Super high waisted and checked! The bag is another take on a satchel and I'm in love with satchels!

The colour of the lip bullet is just beautiful and would look great with any autumn/winter outfit!

So what are you loving from Topshop?

Love you lovelies
