Barry M!!

Mini gold casio- ASOS

So i thought id give the crackle effect Barry M nail varnish a go... I went home for the weekend and my mum had bought the gold glitter nail varnish and the crackle effect... i copied what she had done as she was going to a wedding and wanted something different to do with her nails. I have to say i absolutely love love love this effect. I never thought i would but its fabulous. All i did was applied two layers of the gold glitter nail paint by Barry M.... waited for that to dry and applied one layer of the black crackle.

I do love the Barry M products i have a few of the pastel coloured nail paints.... this is a great change to mix up my look.... and it matches my watch :D.

P.S. please excuse how short my nails are... they got quite long so i had to cut them :(

If your like me and are a bit reluctant to try the crackle. I would definitely give it a go :D.

Anniversary

Peterpan collar blouse- Miss selfridge

So yesterday was mine and Joe's one year anniversary woop woop. We went for a lovely meal at Tino's in preston you should all try it, it was absolutely gorgeous.

So this is the outfit i wore to our meal... i teamed this shirt with my high waisted black skinny jeans from asos and my black ballet spiked pumps from topshop. Shirts like these are absolutely perfect for meals out where you want to look classy but casual... I usually wear a white strappy top underneath this because the material is a little bit sheer. 
Its one of my most favourite items to wear because it can be worn with almost anything... i sometimes team this with my high waisted black pleated skirt from zara.
Because of the collar and the bow you dont really need to accessorise the neck of this shirt so i just wore my pandora charm bracelet and my mini gold casio watch to accessorise just a little bit. I also added my black and gold clutch bag from River Island just to add that extra bit of class.

OOTD!

Heyy everyone... today is another freezing cold rainy day in preston so i thought i may as well start wearing all my winter clothers. I cant wait to buy some more of the new A/W season!! Im just popping in to town today and i have a few meetings at uni so ive just gone for the most warm, cosy, casual look you could ever find.

Demin shirt- Topshop..... Navy blue chunky knit jumper- ASOS

i wore this with my superdry fleecy boots from BANK.. they are the best boots i have ever bought,... ive had them for a year now and they are still going strong, they have never ever leaked on me either so my feet are always cosy and warm in the winter.

This kind of outfit is perfect for days like today.. i didnt add any accessories to this outfit today apart from my mini gold casio. With an outfit like this there isnt really much need for accessories, a gold spiked chain under the collar of the shirt would have look fabulous.

What are your favorite winter warmers?

Night out!

Hey everyone sorry it has been a couple of days since my last blog... Ive been super busy getting back in to the swing of uni life... oh the joys of work.
 So tonight i am going out with a few of my flat mates and thought i would share with you my outfit of the night.
 I had an absolute nightmare deciding what to wear... typical girl i hated everything in my wardrobe.

Pink cross bracelet- *Raspberry Grape..... Silver cross chain bracelet- Another of the old vintages i found in my mums jewelry box... White strappy top- Primark..... Pink pleated high waisted skirt- Topshop.

Tonight i just went with quite a simple but girlie look,... This pink skirt from topshop is my all time favorite... when i cant decide what to wear it has never let me down and goes with just about anything. I finished this outfit off with my black lita style boots and pink frilled ankle socks from topshop. 

You can never go wrong with a plain white strappy top... they go with just about anything and can be that simple addition to an outfit. I picked this one up for about £3.00 from primark.. cant beat a bargain.

Boy london!!

Boy London oversized tee- Asos..... Mini gold casio- Asos.. Pink cross bracelet- *Raspberry grape

My boy london top finally arrived... i have been waiting for this beauty to come for ages and finally its here woop woop.

I absolutely love this tee... Im not doing much today apart from popping in to town so i teamed this top with my black riding pants and flat studded ballet slippers. The sleeves are longer than they appear in the picture because i rolled them up to give that extra casual look.

Does anyone else love boy london?

OOTD!!

Hey everyone sorry i havent been blogging much recently this past week has been so hectic and a little bit foggy shall we say.. Im all settled in back at uni now and getting back in to the swing of uni life.
  Today is my first day back actually in uni so i thought id give you all an outfit of the day.... Its absolutely freezing, horribly windy and rainy here in sunny old Preston ( The second rainiest city in britain may i add), so i thought i would go for comfort and warmth.

Pink chunky knit jumper- Topshop..... Denim shirt- Topshop..... Riding pants- Topshop..... Black flat studded ballet pumps- Topshop.

So basically this whole outfit was from topshop.... what can i say im a tophop kind of girl.

Because its quite cold today i thought i would go for a bit of layering.... this is always the way to go on cold british winter days. You cant see very well in the picture but the leggings i am wearing are black with patent down the sides for that extra bit of style... i love leggings like this because they add that bit of something extra to your everyday leggings. These ones from topshop are really thick and perfect for winter.

Pink is my favorite colour so i love to wear something pink each day, hence the pink dip dyed hair :D

Do you have a favorite colour that must be worn each day?

Shopping!!!

Hey everyone sorry i didnt blog yesterday i had such a hectic day.... I moved back in to halls at uni so i was shifting stuff around all day getting all hot and bothered.. trying to still look fabulous but that never happens does it. 
I didnt even have time for a cheeky little update during the evening... I was finally reunited with my boyfriend and two best friends chels and jade!!! woop woop. So as us uni students do best we got dolled up and on got on those drinks.... lets just say it got quite messy and i now have extremely sore feet and and quite tender head. It was such an amazing night though.
As us girls always do.. i currently dont like anything in my closet so i went shopping today :).... Thought id share my purchases with you.

Black peplum top- Topshop.... Flat ballerina slippers- Topshop..... Lita style boots- Saints and sinners.

I just had to treat myself to some new clothes... I was in desperate need of some new ballerina slippers.. i have the same ones above but in white and as you can expect, they are absolutely destroyed so why not buy some new ones :D.

I couldnt resist buying these lita style boots at only £25 !!!! what a bargain... If only i could afford the real Jeffery Campbells... Oh my life i would give my arm for those.

I also bought some boring cleaning items but no one needs to know about those :D

I will get a picture of me in these soon!!

Maybelline pulse perfect mascara!!

So i thought id share with you all this new mascara i tried... I have really sensitive skin and eyes so i have to be careful what i use and over the years i have found that Mac and Maybelline are the only brands i dont have a reaction too.

Usually i go for the Maybelline mascaras that give the false eyelash look and today i thought i would try a different style. I have fair hair so naturally my eyelashes are very light and it is on a very rare occasion when i am spotted without mascara on....even in the gym :D.

I picked this mascara up for abour £3.00 for an ebay seller.... always looking for a bargain.. anyways i thought as it was cheap i may as well give it a try and the verdict.... I absolutely love this mascara!!!

It is quite different to other mascaras as it has a vibrating brush, you hold a button in as your putting it on... the vibrations separate and elongate your eyelashes giving a gorgeous wide eye look. No clumps or anything... its absolutely amazing.

I would definitely recommend you try this product :D

Trip to the zoo !!

Today me and my boyfriend Joe had a trip to Chester zoo.. I was super excited because i've never been before and i have to say it was such an amazing experience. 

Please excuse my expression on this picture.. i was acting scared haha, and my hair it was freakishly windy so i ended up pushing it back with a headband to keep it out of my eyes :D.

So this is my the only full picture we got of me today.

It was a lovely sunny day but still quite cool so i went for a summery yet warm look. Once again a blazer smartened up a casual look :).

Blazer- Topshop..... Off the shoulder oversized top- Topshop.... Sky blue skinny jeans- Topshop. Sunglasses- Miss selfridge.

I finished this look off with some converse from Schuch and my brown contrast satchel from River Island.

I just realised that my outfit mainly consisted of topshop items today.. But who doesnt love topshop :D

The giraffe was my favourite of the whole day.. i never realised just how large they are in real life, it was absolutely amazing. I decided i want one as a pet..... sadly i couldnt fit one in the car or my handbag so i had to settle for a keyring :D.

If you have never been to the zoo you definitely have to visit chester zoo, it took me and Joe four hours to get around the whole park and see all the animals ( that was with just one small sandwich break :D ). Its not too pricey either, as a student it was £15.00  each, Joe paid though lucky me :D.

Sorry my post hasn't been much about fashion today i just had to share my experience today with you all.... thats how amazing i thought it was :D.

P.s i have to tell you all i found my way from chester zoo too Formby without any sat nav and from Formby to Wigan without a sat nav, i was very proud when i got home alive :D.

Hope you have all had an amazing day.

Let me know your thoughts if you have been to chester zoo or anywhere similar.

OOTD!

Today im not really wearing anything special.. its a sunny day but still cold so i went for a summery look that still keeps me warm.

Pink print headband- Topshop.... Lady print tshirt- Topshop... Light pink skinny jeans- Zara.... Beige turn up sleeve blazer- Topshop.

As you can see its just a simple casual look.. im not really going anywhere today but my boyfriend is coming for a few nights as i dont get to see him that much in the summer its nice to look causal and presentable at the same time.

Adding a blazer to almost any outfit creates that casual but classy look. I have a few blazers but this is my favourite one and goes with just about anything.

I hope you all liked my look... Please excuse the quality of the photos. Im in serious need of a new camera.

P.S ive got a job interview at outfit on saturday so fingers crossed everyone :D

Night time!

So as you saw earlier today i posted my outfit of the day.... well i ended up going for a meal with my mum so i just wanted to show you guys another way of wearing the sleeveless button up shirt i had on earlier.

Headband- Topshop.... Sleeveless coral button up shirt- Miss selfridge..... Oversized blue chunky nit cardy- Coco Boo boutique.... Black skinny jeans- ASOS.

So for my look tonight i just added the headband to my hair to give that playful look.. i am absolutely in love with these oversized bow headbands at the moment i think the complete almost any look.. especially with curly hair.

Wearing black skinny jeans smartened this look up just enough to make it fine for going out to the pub for a meal in. 

It was a little chilly outside tonight so i added my chunky nit cardy for comfort and style. I picked this up from a boutique i found in Preston during my first year of uni. I shop there regularly and find some great bargains and usually one off pieces. 

I finished this look off with some shoes i got years ago from henleys .

Light blue pumps with bow top- Henleys.

I have had these shoes for years and never worn them, i found them during a clean out and think they are a lovely summer plimsole.

Hope you liked my evening outfit.

Hey everyone...
So this is my first outfit of the day... its been lovely and warm here today so i thought it was time to take advantage and wear some summery clothes... it made a nice change from all the wintry stuff i have been wearing recently.

Sleevless coral button up shirt- Miss selfridge... High waist shorts- Topshop.... Necklace- this was actually my mums from when she was a teenager, i absolutely loved it.

I often wear the coral shirt with my sky blue skinny jeans from topshop and converse.This is a great summery look that's both causal and smart. The high waist shorts also go well with tights for those cold British days. I bought the shorts with a pink chunky nit oversized jumper from topshop, making a warm winter look.

I hope you all enjoyed my very first outfit of the day :D

My favourites of the summer!

Heyy my lovely bloggers 

So i thought my second blog of my blogging life will be one on beauty and what my favourite beauty products have been for the summer.All you girls who aren't blessed with naturally tanning skin will feel how i feel on the topic of fake tan... Its a saving grace!!!! I do love the instant tanners out there however over the summer i like to feel i am getting a gradual tan so i tried this....l'Oreal paris sublime bronze tanning mist for fair skin. I absolutely love this product its so easy to apply and dries instantly without any streaks. It usually develops over night and leaves a lovely healthy glow. I usually apply it every other day to maintain a lovely colour, it doesn't leave that tell tail smell of fake tan either so its absolutely perfect for summer and winter. It does come in different shades for those of you who are blessed with darker skin :). Its not a bad price either, i picked this up from sainsbury's for about £8.00 i think. My second favourite of all time is this..Maybelline dream sating liquid airwhipped foundation in light porcelain. This is my all time favourite foundation.... i have very sensitive skin along with it being very fair and i found that this foundation was the only one that sits very light on your face, covers up all blemishes along with adding a small amount of colour... not too much no one likes an orange face. Unlike most foundations this one lasts all day... only needing a small touch up for the night if you are going out. It doesnt clog your pores up and is easy to take off.I usually get this from superdrug as there is usually a 3 for 2 offer on maybelline so i usually pick up a few other products.I definately recommend this for anyone with sensitive skin or anyone who is looking to change their foundation. Its also perfect to wear on holiday as it doesnt sit heavy on your face and doesnt melt off with the heat.:DI have recently just tried this powder..Maybelline affinitone powder.I usually just apply one lot over my foundation base just to take away any shine i may have. I found this off an ebay seller for around £3.00... always love a bargain ... i absolutely love this product, it gives a lovely soft finish to your face with the effect of being airbrushed in real life.I will upload a picture of my makeup when it is done with this soon.:D

              These are just a few bits of my summer favourites i picked up the other day :D. Enjoy guys                                      Any queries feel free to ask :D xxx
