NAKED 2

 

 

Hello lovelies! Finally I have bought the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette! I've wanted this for absolutely ages and now I finally have it! As soon as it arrived I automatically took a photo of it and bragged about it on my Instagram! It's incredibly beautiful and the colours are amazing!

I feel that even the box is just too pretty and everything about it is just perfectly clear! The brush it comes with is amazing as it's very soft and blends really well! Now that I have this one I kind of want them all...

 

The Colours are (from left to right)

Foxy

Half Baked

Bootycall

Chopper

Tease

Snakebite

Suspect

Pistol

Verve

YDK

Busted

Blackout

 

You can create amazing looks with this palette whether its for a night out or just a casual day! I love it.

CUSTARD

The Art surrounding the area is completely and utterly incredible!



This is COW Vintage - most amazing vintage store I've been in!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello lovelies! Its abit picture heavy but I just wanted to take my camera out and take as

many snaps as I could so that's exactly what I did! Today I went to Birmingham...again but I had quite a good, interesting time! So I'm a lover of vintage and creative things especially clothes and in a previous post I have been here and that would be called the Custard Factory! I went last time on a Sunday so a lot of places were closed and there wasn't really a good vibe... From people! So I went today which is a Tuesday and it was amazing! There are so many vintage shops selling clothes, vinyl's and furniture! There's the very infamous COW Vintage which is probably my favourite shop and then there's Urban Village Vintage Store and this sells clothes and vinyl records! There are restaurants, skate shops but the Coolest thing about it is the street art and creative decoration around the area! It's a great place for photography and I used it for that purpose today! There are different characters - by that I mean people's style! The way to describe it is cool! You should definitely go to The Custard Factory if your ever in Birmingham!

REVIEW: ALEXA CHUNG "IT"

 

 

 

 Hello Lovelies. My obsession with Alexa Chung is getting way out of hand. Ever since picking this book up in Urban Outfitters has literally changed my life. I don't think I've ever had so much love for a book. First of, even the front cover makes me smile as its so simple yet really effective. For any Fashion lover, or a fan of Alexa herself, this book draws you in and makes you want to read it over and over again. This wonderful pink book has everything from advice from her sixteen year old self, her role models, thoughts and just genuine writings.

This is quite an easy read but a brilliant one for that matter, I've probably most likely read this at least 10 times because its so good! The images are so cool too which is also very engaging as you like to see the meaning behind why that was put there or what happened at the time! Its quite inspiring to see how far she has come from being a sixteen year old and seeing what she does now. I like to relate myself to Alexa Chung, on a much lower scale of course! I highly recommend for you to read 'IT' whether your a reader or not! You will love it!

 

Love you all

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?

List of Loves - June Favourites! | Laura Ann

Hello Lovelies!

So I haven't done a favourites blog yet but I've wanted to for a long time but I didn't feel I had enough to talk about....until now! Lets just jump right in! Here are this months favourites!

The first thing is my amazing Penny Board! Last August, on the very last day in New York I purchased a Penny Board! I had really wanted one for a very long time but never bought one... until this holiday! I met two lovely workers called Ben and Byron who helped me out and I've never been so happy with a purchase (apart from clothes they're fabulous!) So this is my Penny!

 

 

The next thing I have been loving is this book: Alexa Chung IT! Let me tell you something, its incredible! Possibly the greatest book I have ever read EVER. The way it is written is so relatable even though her life is much more fabulous than mine, you kind of connect with it! I got it from Urban Outfitters for £16.99 which I guess is expensive for a book but its completely and utterly worth it!

 

The book shows up weird on camera because its a funny material so the lines are not actually there

I'm a complete shoe addict and its gotten quite serious as im stealing my sisters shoes now... We both love Converse and my sister has awesome ones especially these which are so funky and great for summer as they're really bright and colourful! I think these are limited Edition but I don't remember as they are from Florida in 2010.

 

 

 

Back to Books! Ever heard of John Green? Of course he's the author of many books but most popular The Fault in Our Stars! Although im not talking about that one- Paper Towns. Im reading Paper Towns and im addicted- not going into too much detail but its just as good as Tfios!

 









Next on my list of loves is a Kimono! The very popular, the very amazing Kimono. I think these look amazing dressed up or dressed down but I honestly love them! Mine is a very bright pink Patterned design from Primark for just £13!

This is me wearing the Kimono obviously!

I Went to the custard Factory in Birmingham the other day and there's this Vintage store that I fell in love with! I bought some Glasses from there and im now officially addicted to them! I feel they make an outfit abit different and they look very chic!

I could ramble on about a million more things but im going to leave it here... for now! Please let me know what you are loving and I'll talk to you again soon!

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
