MY IN-FLIGHT ESSENTIALS.

I am going to New York in 2 Weeks! The excitement is killing me. I feel a little immature admitting it but my favourite part before a holiday is packing! My mom used to buy me and my sister a few magazines and books and I even remember getting those little magnetic travel games- which if I saw in a shop now, i'd definatley buy some! Going on holiday is what makes me happy most. I cannot wait until I can travel the world! HOWEVER my excitement remains focused on the Big Apple and this will be the second time I've been!

1. Headphones and Chargers: Yes you can get the cheap in flight ear phones but they are terrible quality so I always take my own. You need your charger while your away regardless but don't pack it in your suitcase- you never know when you might need it. Especially in flight and in the airport.

2. Eye mask & Neck pillow: I only ever seem to be on long haul flights and comfort is key. Trying to sleep on an airplane full of people and flashing lights gets annoying so having a cute eye mask to cover up is very important. From experience, sleeping and just getting comfy in general is hard especially when you don't have a massive comfy pillow so a little neck pillow will make your flight that bit better.

3. Makeup bag: I like to call this my emergency makeup kit. It's not everything I use but it might make my face less of a monster when I step off the plane! I will also throw my Tangle Teezer in here because an 8/9 hour flight can be bad for your hair!

4. Sunglasses: What person doesn't take their sunglasses with them? Sunnies are nice to have especially after a long flight. You can pop big sunnies on and still look semi-human.

5. PASSPORT (and other vital airport documents): I think this is pretty self explanatory but it is a definite must for travelling so DONT forget it!

6. iPhone, macbook, ipad: Woah apple overload! I need my phone regardless of where i go so it is indeed thrown into my carry on. Recently I purchased the macbook pro! I think for editing blogposts and editing videos, its a must have! 

7. Money: The one thing I must must must take in my carry on is money! Duty free at the airport before hand is my favourite start to any holiday- especially at the MAC counter! Also anything on board you want to purchase is a perfect excuse to grab some money out of your bag!

8. Socks & a jumper: No matter what country you are heading to airplanes can get cold! I take my favourite pair of socks with a cosy jumper just incase!

9. Sweets& a drink: I never step on an airplane without some sweets! Of course you must purchase these after security but I always take some as it really helps while taking off! Airplanes sell drinks but for mad prices so either a bottle of water or some lemonade is great to keep you refreshed on board.

10. A book: Airplanes get boring! I'm not the biggest fictional reader however i do love a good book on fashion so thrown into my bag it will keep me busy!

I hope you enjoy your holidays

DENIM STRIPES.

 

90s Denim Jacket: Rokit Vintage

Striped Ringer Tee: Urban Outfitters

Ripped Jeans: Topshop (Joni)

Shoes: Vans Old Skool

Bag: Kanken

 

Whenever I find my self coming to write these blog posts I feel very self centered as all the pictures are of me.... but it is an Outfit Of the Day so I have an excuse! I really love this outfit because of how casual yet 'cool' it is. I recently purchased some Black old skool Vans and im in love with them! I remember seeing Rachel Green from Friends wear them and ever since, I've fallen in love and so happy I got myself a pair. This is also a new t-shirt in which I've been eyeing up for a while. After purchasing my Topshop Ringer Tee, I've wanted all the UO ones! My trusty black jeans are something I wear everyday because they're so incredibly easy to style! I wore this outfit to Gay Pride in Birmingham! I think it's such a good thing to support this because everyone should have equal rights - (deep message in the blog today!). It was such a good atmosphere filled with many characters and colour! I have also found a new favourite drink at Starbucks and that is the Iced Americano - AMAZING! One last thing! Ever since cutting most of my hair off, I've struggled to create different hairstyles that will work on my head! I know its very simple but the French Plaits I created today- I'm rather proud of! 

New buys: Topshop Shoes

Hello everyone!

So a fair few blogposts ago I posted about what I'm crushing on from topshop and some geek t bar shoes may or may not have popped in the list! 

I've wanted these shoes for absolutely ages, but I could never afford them! So as the weeks went by and the sales came, the shoes I wanted were only £10!!! I could not resist the £32 shoes I wanted for only a tenner! The colours in  black, burgundy and silver! I bought the silver ones because they are abit different but go with everything! 

They're very comfortable and my new favourite shoes! I seriously recommend getting them! 

Have you bought anything in the sales recently? What shoes are you loving right now? 

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
