London Haul

Hello,

So, it's been like a thousand years since I last even looked at my blog, and I apologise to all my lovely followers who have probably been like "so...this is great."

♥But GOOD news. I went to London today and of course went crazy, and I did think of you guys, so I took some photos of the things I bought and I am going to share them with you.

BEAUTY

♥The above is the beauty selection. I went mad at Topshop because I swear the London store is the only one to do makeup and it's not everyday i'm in London so I wanted to get all the things I needed whilst I was there.

This is the "Browzings shaping kit" from the Benefit range. It is quite expensive £23.50, but if you like doing your eyebrows dark and notice that pencil rubs off and goes all patchy then I would highly recommend this. It lasts all day and doesn't smudge, the actual product lasts a long time too so it is worth the money.

These are two of the 'BarryM' blushers that I purchased in Topshop. I usually get 'Coralista' from Benefit but I want to try other colours and see if I can create different makeup looks. It doesn't actually say what name these blushers are, but on the back the orangey shade says BL7 and on the pink shade it says BL2. They are really pigmented and last a while and I thought it was good because they are only £4.50 each.

This is a Topshop cream highlighter, contouring and blush set. It doesn't have a name but if you go looking for it in Topshop, you will definitely see it. I thought it would be really easy to have it as a set because it's small and I can take it anywhere. i.e ( on the plane, or a train journey). It's just handy and the creams I just apply with a foundation brush or my finger and blend. It's about £12.50 which is not expensive considering how many parts it comes with.

From left to right. the first lipstick is called 'see sheer' by MAC, £15, the second lipstick is '111 Kiss of life' from the Rimmel Kate Moss Range, £5.49 and the last lipstick is Infrared from Topshop, £8. They are all really pigmented and last all day which I love. I have really got into lipsticks this year and I will have a beautiful collection by the end of the year :)

♥Some other things that were in the main beauty photo that I didn't elaborate on:

- benefit's 'the POREfessional'

- the 'real techniques' makeup brushes

- basic eyebrow brush

- the vintage cosmetic company 'nancy' fake lashes.

CLOTHING

♥This top is from forever 21 and it's a lemony bright colour and a polyester sheer fabric. I loved it because of it's different colour and the scalloped collar.

 ♥I liked this top because of the torn effect on the sleeves and the tie-dye effect. I think it would look really nice tucked into some shorts or disco pants or whatever, but I like the mint colour because it's girly.

♥I liked this top, again because of the mint colour and because it is a crop. I love that you can wear it with basically everything and it wasn't that expensive either.

♥I was drawn to this top because of it's luminous, bright yellow colour. I thought that it would look really good with a tan and again it's a crop (which I love). It's different to other tops because of it's colour and I like that.

♥I also picked up these cute salmon, coral colour socks as I was waiting to pay. I love how cute and girly they are and I think they will look good with skirts and dresses.

♥Lastly, I also did buy some black disco pants in Topshop, but the photo didn't come out great and well, you all know what disco pants are. And I got some high waisted black swimsuit bottoms, because I know they'd give weird tan-lines, but I think they are super feminine and they look really cute on. I also got one of Lola's cupcakes, of course. :)

♥In Victoria's Secret I got two bikini tops, with cute frills at the top, black and a teal/green colour and some panties...but I think taking photos of that and putting them on the internet is a bit weird and well, they're personal. ;)

Thanks for reading this blogpost and I hope you enjoyed it.

Please, comment, share and follow :)

ALSO I got a new camera :DDDDDDDDD yaaaaay, super happy. It's a canon EOS 1100D and I love it :) Just wanted to share my happiness ;) It also means, the quality of my photos will get better and I'll probably be posting more. Byee:)

Edgy and Quirky

Yo, 

♥I'm so sorry I haven't posted when I said I would. I've been super busy and I just haven't found things to post about, I will hopefully be doing a post when I go to London on Thursday, so you will be getting more posts!

Anyway, the reason i'm doing a post today, is I have been doing a lot of research and I've been inspired to give you all a fashion post. Sorry, if you don't particularly like my fashion tastes, and you don't enjoy this post, I hope you can take something away from it :)

♥So, I have taken most of these images from the Lookbook. I'm sure you all know what that is, if you don't, its a website where people all over the world, give an OOTD and you can look at them I guess? It's about being inspired by real people in affordable clothes and not magazines: http://lookbook.nu/

I love this outfit so much! I have pretty similar clothes to this, and I wear it quite often. It's comfortable and looks good too. I usually wear it with my Docs and sometimes 

a hat too.

I loved this outfit, because it's girly and elegant. Obviously, for slightly warmer weather, but you could wear tights  with vans, or brogues or Docs again and if it's cold, a baggy cardigan or in my case, my fur coat:)

I love the socks pulled up because it gives a vintage kind of look, and it gives the outfit an extra edge. 

If you cover up the socks, you'll know what I mean. ;)

I like how this person has put a top, over another top. It pushes the pattern on top out and looks cute.

I love the tights, because they make your legs look thinner, and again create an edgy look.

Again, I love the denim, and I think this outfit would look really good with 

a denim waistcoat or leather jacket on top, preferably black ;)

When I first saw this photo, I thought it was Florence Welch. Lol. I love the scruffy look that jumper offers to this outfit, but the brogues and long skirt create a feminine and casual look but also slightly quirky. I am jealous to say this outfit does look good on a ginger. :(

Simple. This outfit is so simple, but so cute! I love the peppermint jumper and the torn jeans. If you notice, she has a white collar poking over the top of the jumper and the hat literally tops it off. You don't have to always go all out on an outfit, because something like this can look simple, but really effective at the same time.

I don't like the leggings. Saying that now. I love everything else, the oversized coat, the cute jumper. Maybe if it was plain leggings, or some denim shorts it would look really cute! But i liked the layering idea and again, simple, but edgy.

♥I really love the indie/grunge/edgy kind of look at the moment. Despite the fact, I have recently been going for feminine and cute. A total inspiration of mine is Miley Cyrus. Especially now she has cut her hair, she dresses so nicely, and she has become even more awesome!

I hope you guys have enjoyed this blogpost!!!

Primark Haul!

Hellooooooooooooo internettt ;)

Primark Haul :3

♥I would like to share with you some of the things I bought from Primark recently. I know a lot of people do not like primark for various reasons, however I like how cheap the clothes are and yet of the same quality as some other expensive stores. As much as I love Topshop, I don't wanna spend £50 on a dress I can get for £15 in Primark.

So, here we go:

♥The first item I bought was this flowy, cream polyester shirt with frills over the shoulders and a small collar. 

♥There is a soft mesh piece at the top on both sides with small white polka dots. You could wear this with a high waisted skirt, or leggings. Or even a little cami underneath. I think its quite cute and feminine.

♥Here is a close up photo of the top of the mesh:)

£8.00

♥Next I bought another shirt, this time without sleeves, but with a white collar and hanging ties.

♥I really like this shirt, because its not polyester, it's like soft viscose drapey, flowy kind of fabric. It hangs really well. The collar however is polyester and has a sparkly sheen to it which thought was really cute and girly.

♥I thought that it would go with a high waisted skater skirt, or disco pants, or even underneath a jumper with the collar and ties sticking out as detail.

♥The next item was also a shirt, similar to the one above, but black with a white collar and a stripe down the center of the front and gold metal tips on the points of the collar. £6.00

♥I liked how the back of the top, was slightly longer than the front so it would cover your bum if you wanted to wear it with just leggings or disco pants or whatever.

♥The gold collared tips add some detail to the top which I think is essential and I really enjoy wearing this top under jumpers with the collar poking out the top because of the gold tips. I also have this shirt in a khaki green with a black collar and black stripe. £6.00

♥I then went over to the skirt/dress area and I bought a black and a khaki textured skater skirts for only £8.00 each.

♥Sorry for the bad photo, but I did manage to pick up the textured look it has. It has an elasticated waist and comes with a belt, but I never use the belts they provide. 

♥I just thought it would look cute with some tights, a shirt or a jumper and some boots or brogues. 

♥The last item I bought was a midi plain grey bodycon dress. 

It looks horrible on the hanger, so I found a image of it on the internet for you to get an idea of how it fits on the body.

♥It's very tight fitting, and is so comfortable. It ends just a bit below the knees it can be very elegant or casual.

♥The material is very soft and I thought it would look good with some Docs or a collar necklace or even a bowler hat. 

I just loved the ideas it brought and I cant wait to wear it!

♥Thumbs up for a headscarf and for how long my pixie cut is getting!!

Bye and I love you all :) Please leave comments and thoughts and if you have any questions i'll be happy to answer!

2013 Current Trends

Hello Beauties, 

♥So people have asked me to do a post about fashion, and what's trending for 2013 and the type of things I like to wear and what stands out for me.

As we head towards Spring, Shabby Chic will be entering fashion.
This here, is a subtle taste of feminism.

♥I personally, really love it when girls look feminine and cute.

Jumpers frequently go in and out of fashion. Luckily at the
moment they are in fashion and I love them
Currently people are dressing them up with shirt collars from
beneath.

♥I also completely love the new skater skirts that have come into fashion. They make girls look more feminine and can either make an outfit look smart or casual depending on the accessories or shoes you pair it with.

Here we see a skater skirt
in a casual light with knee-highs
and a tee.

♥The makeup trending at the moment seems to be natural and simple. With the complete opposites of orangey/plum to nude lips.

♥However. It seems that red lips are going to be the talk of Spring and lip liner to give the lips a fuller look.

♥Also girls. As much as you love your hair, very short hair is in fashion. I'm in luck with the pixie cut I got last year. I love it to pieces, but I do miss my hair occasionally. But. It is what is trending especially wavey short hair. 

♥Short hair highlights and emphasises your features. It also gives the illusion of having smaller face. BUT do not cut your hair unless you have the correct face shape, you will be left with a disappointment.

♥Very 20's. I know.

NAILS.

♥It would appear that the colour for the year 2013 is emerald.

This would go with anything and many clothing items will match this colour so you wouldnt have to worry about clashing.

Type of outfits I wear:

Hope it inspired you guys. Sorry it wasn't much. I shall post some more soon.

Comment, follow and ask.
