May's Shopping Haul

This weekend was a bank holiday weekend in England so me and some family went on a shopping trip to Southampton, i only had a few things i needed to get for my leavers ball coming up in June, but of course if i was going shopping, i was going to shop well and come back with a few more items than i imagined, i bought some clothes ready for the nice weather, some new make up and few other bits too. 

First stop on the trip was primark as it is super cheap, and i think why buy it somewhere else when you can get it cheaper for a good quality here. I got a green midi skirt which is high waisted and has a flower pattern all over and fully lined underneath so it is not see through, looks really nice for everyday with just a black vest tucked in, or you could easily dress it up for the evening with some lovely nude heels. I got a black and white stripped swing dress, it has very thin thread straps, it hangs well as it is a heavier material. 

These little shorts are really thin material but i loved the bright pattern and will be great for relaxing around the house, but for taking on holiday to get to the beach and such. As well as clothes in primark i also bought a new lampshade as currently i just had a bulb hanging from ceiling, i picked up this paper sphere with a pretty floral pattern all over, as it is a light colour the light shines through really well.

Second stop on the list for clothes was newlook which i picked up a white strapped crop top, it has a cut out flower pattern over the top which is lined underneath with thin straps, this will be great for the summer over maxi skirts or shorts and will show of a good tan. I also couldn't resist the flowered scrunchie which a pale pink and a floral pattern again, it will look cute when wearing my hair but also fits over the top of a bun.

Lastly on the hunt for clothes was H&M where i found a navy blue cardigan, which is very basic but something i was intending to buy as it goes with a lot of things, and easy to put on when it gets a little chilly. Also as a surprise find was a little fitted shirt which is a denim blue colour and white birds on it, having sort sleeves means you wont get too hot in the summer, if England gets any sun, but you could wear with some jeans or even pair it with a nice skirt and wedges for the nicer weather. 

As i can not go anywhere without looking at makeup, i found a lipstick stand and couldn't resist, so i tried a matte purple colour, and it is one of my favourites, it surprised me for the good, the colour is bright, applies easily, and has a good lasting time.

Next was the hunt for some heels to go with my dress for leavers ball which was the actual reason for the shopping trip, i found a pair from the brand, Irregular choice in the shop schuh and fell in love with them as soon as i put them on, i will be doing more of a post on my outfit in another post, but these are very comfy and easy to walk in as they have a thicker heel and don't make me look too tall as i am already about 5'9.

Last but not least was the makeup purchase, i can't go anywhere without hunting down the mac shop or counter and with the new one in Southampton i thought why not, i got the pro longwear foundation which is a medium coverage but can be built up and has a matte finish, as well as the studio fix powder which works as a great setting agent and finishes off the look.

October Haul

The month of October has been and gone, I shouldn't wish the time away, but it means it's getting closer and closer to Christmas and my 18th birthday so I can not wait. But the point of this post is, during October I ended up buying quite a few different products and clothing so I wanted to do a little haul and show you all what I got. Now for saying I am mainly a beauty blogger and love all things make-up, I could not justify spending money on non-essential products last month as some new winter clothes were a must buy for the drop in temperature in the UK.

- Acid wash jeans - £22.99

- Navy blue jeans - £19.99

- Burgundy skirt - £12.99

- Stripped 3/4 length sleeve top - £9.99

- Flowered 3/4 length sleeve crop top - £9.99

Teal patterned dress - £14.99

Teal knitted jumper - £14.99

- Navy double breasted coat - £63.75

- Rimmel stay matte powder - £3.99

- Maybelline the falsies mascara - £7.99

- H&M nail polish - £2.99

You can probably tell that my two favourite colours this season are burgundy and teal, I absolutely love them. Hope you enjoyed xxx

Winter Wardrobe

As winter is close and weather is getting much colder, I've realised my winter wardrobe is not the best, so I thought I would put together a few different things to show what I'm liking at the moment and what I may buy to add to my winter collection. There are 3 different groups, coats, jumpers and warm leggings too.

I have not changed my coat in about 2 years as I don't really like wearing one, but as my parents keep moaning that I should get one I decided to have a search. This search was very hard as I am one for being very picky on the type of coat I want. In the end I found 4 that I don't mind too much, and for reasonable prices in high street shops too.

#1 Grey faux fur collar

#2 Berry textured frock 

#3 Tall navy fur collar

#4 South tipped reefer jacket

Jumpers are another thing that is low in my wardrobe, So I searched for a few different knitted jumpers that I can put on to go with jeans or skirts and layer up underneath to keep me warm. I found some great Christmas ones with designs on the front and some nice plain ones too.

#1 Rugby stripe sweater

#2 Grey penguin Christmas jumper

#3 Cable knit jumper

#4 Koala print jersey

Lastly I decided to look for some leggings, I have really got back into wearing these in the winter as they are great for keeping you warm with skirts or shorts if you don't want to wear jeans. I prefer things with patterns rather than plain colours so I found 4 different pairs each with a great pattern and some colour.

#1 Flower jersey leggings

#2 Monster comic print leggings

#3 Fairisle printed leggings

#4 Daisy and dots leggings

Do you fancy any of these yourself, or have you got anything different to show ? xxx

New Cute Outfit

Hey everyone,

 I have just bought a new outfit, well dress and shoes and I absolutely LOOOOOVVEE it. It's for no special occasion but found some in the high street sales when I was searching and just couldn't resist.

As I am on holiday the last week and this week too, this is going to be a simple post just showing you my outfit. It's super cute and I can't wait to wear it out one night, if I even get invited anywhere :(

I know the photos are basically the same but here is my outfit. A tanned laced floral dress, has three quater length sleeves and a low back to it as well. It is very girly and floaty makes you feel very pretty. The dress was from miss selfridge in the sale but I do not remember the exact price.

I then bought some nude patent heels from the shop Matalan, I think this is only in England, to go with it. They have a squared toe, with a court heel, not too high so they're very comfortable to wear. They were £15, not in the sale I'm afraid.

Sorry for the short post, but I hope you liked my little outfit. Stay tuned for more when I'm home from holiday. xxx

Shopping Haul

Hey Hey,

So lately over the past week I have had two different little shopping sprees, one from my trip to London, and the second in Bournemouth. I thought it would interesting to do a haul of all my buys, hopefully you will enjoy that, and will give you a few ideas and hints for outfits yourself. It's going to be split into 3 sections, clothes, make-up and other bits and bobs (:

For my clothes, In primark I bought a pair of skinny pin stripped ankle grazers, these are in a turquoise minty colour, I love these because they're quite a stretchy Jean material so super comfy to wear and great for everyday, the colour is amazing and really good to pair with other things, they are also just a perfect fit for me. Also from primark I got a denim pinafore dress, it's really cute, great for everyday wear and the length is really good as it is not too short. As well as a plain white t-shirt and a black vest top. Their basic range is really great as it is super cheap and the quality is not too bad, I always pick up plain vest tops here as it doesn't matter too much if they get ruined and need replacing in a few months time.

From New-look I got just a plain red crop top, this is to wear underneath the dress, the colour is really bright for summer and stands out underneath the denim, its a stretchy material so fits tight to your body. I also got a lilac purple crop top from republic to wear underneath the dress, the front is a normal round neck top, but the back is cute as it goes up into a bow at the back.

In a little shop called pull and bear, I bought the giraffe tee, I love anything giraffe so when I saw this I had to buy it, it is great for everyday wear and will go perfectly with my new jeans. This shop is great and I love it, I don't know many people who know about it, but would recommend it to anyone, it is pretty affordable prices too (this is always a plus).

My make-up purchases used up quite a lot of my money, but it was all worth it, for my cheapest buy I got a new make-up and travel bag from primark for only £4, the colour is really pretty with a nice little pattern on it. As for actual make-up, from MAC I got a new lipstick, in the colour impassioned, shown on the look in my previous post, it is a bright pink colour, lasts for a good amount of time and has a shine to it. Also from MAC I got an eye shadow in the colour gleam, it is a bronze colour with shimmer, its a really subtle colour but great for all over the eye lid for everyday wear if you want something which is quite neutral.

Also for make-up I bought two new brushes, both from the make real techniques, I got the expert face brush and the shading brush, they're really soft brushes so nice and gentle on the skin, the expert face brush is great for applying my foundation, it helps blend it into the skin really well. Would highly recommend these to anyone.

To finally finish this post (sorry if it is rather long) is my other bits and bobs, which really only is one other thing, I actually ordered this on-line but thought I would show you anyway. I have an olloclip lens for my iPhone, it is a three in one lens with a wide angle, fish eye and macro. It is a really good product, works well and comes out with some great final pieces. Down below will be a few images to show you and end this post.
