OOTD: 2 in a row!




Dress- Topshop
Necklace- Dorothy Perkins
Aztec Fringed Bag- River Island
Heeled Chelsea Boots- F&F @ Tesco

Hey guys, quick post just showing you what I wore out this morning/afternoon having a little look around the shops with my mum. I decided I'd take my new bag out for a spin. It's so spacious! I also wore boots... how stupid was I, my feet felt like they were melting in the heat. It's been one of those funny weather days today where it's warm but it feels/looks like it's going to rain and then the sun comes out and your back to square one. 
Anyway, keeping it short as I've got to get some stuff ready for tonight as I'm off out for some cocktails in town with one of my lovely best friends Bethan (I'm currently getting my grove on whilst I'm going through some outfit choices ;)). So, that will be lots of fun and I'll probably have another outfit post to show you guys tomorrow too. 

Have you guys got any plans?

OOTD: A leopard can't change it's spots


Dress- Topshop
Necklace- Primark
Belt (Not clearly visible)- Primark
Flatforms/ Wedges- H&M

First off sorry about the quality of the first picture, I don't know why it's so blurry when the rest aren't but it was the best out of the bunch. I was going to take the photo's outdoors but as soon as I got the camera ready it stated to hammer down with rain. But on to the outfit, I wasn't quite sure about this dress at first but it's definitely growing on me, I didn't know whether the colour would suit me as I've got nothing this colour in my wardrobe and I'm so pale. It's quite a stand out piece in all fairness and I really love the cut out detail on the back. I paired it with simple black wedges to match the black outlining the spots on the dress as well as a black and gold necklace (that I love) which I think compliments the dress quite well. In all honesty, I only put the wedges on for the photos as I've been in my slippers all day haha. I've been trying to get a lot done in the house, so I wanted to keep comfy. 
Anyway, I hope you've all had a lovely day and enjoy the rest of the night.

Weekly Update #11

What I've been up too...
LOL we bought a windmill for the garden! // Ice Jubbly // OOTD Post // Bought my sister a giant wall canvas for her room 
Got myself a new bikini set from the River Island Sale // New Lip Products and hair grips // Review of the Power Pouts and Lipstick

OOTD // Nails Post // Washed my car only for it to be rained on // Crushing over this Zara bomber jacket
My sister and I have been on a Misfits marathon // Big bag of stuff for eBay // Finally listing some // Need to sort out my shoes

Well this week started off really lovely with the warm sunny weather still with us but that hasn't lasted too long has it!? Well.. it hasn't here anyway. It's been hammering down!

There are currently 19 days until I leave for Mid Wales with my family for my dad's birthday. We're spending the weekend in a log cabin with a hot tub and all that. Cannot wait! and then there's 37 days until I leave for Malia in Greece with my girls! Too excited! So most of my time has been spent preparing for those and sorting through what I've already got and what I need to buy etc. 
I'm hoping to have a massive sort through everything in my room over the next few days in an attempt to clear some space and get rid of a few things. I already started yesterday sorting through a few bags so I think the shoes will be next.

Anyway, I hope there's still some sun where ever you are. Have a lovely sunday!

#9 Nails: Nails Inc Richmond & Models Own Blizzard


Under: Nails Inc- Richmond
Top Coat: Models Own- Blizzard


Recently I've been thinking about which nail polishes to take away with me on holidays and this combination is one I think would look great during the hot summer nights partying on the strip or on the beach. The sun setting and glistening over the iridescent segment in the Models Own polish would definitely stand out and look gorgeous in the light. I really love this combination and it looks sooo much better in real life.

What do you guys think?

New In #11 & Beauty #10: MUA Power Pout & Lipstick



So yesterday my mum and I went into town for a little look around and I came home with a few bits from Superdrug. I bought all of this out of my advantage card points that I've been saving up for a while as I had an email the other day saying that my points were due to expire so spend them before they run out. According to the woman who served me, the points do not run out, even if you've had an email and should still be on your cards regardless, but don't take my word on it- ask first! 
Anyway... I've been looking out for some orange and coral coloured lipsticks and knowing how cheap MUA's products are I decided to spend my points testing out their coraly/orange shades. Here's what I got:


MUA Power Pout:
MUA Power Pout: £3 each (On Offer 2 for £4)

First off were these Power Pout lip tint and balm lip crayons in shades #Broken Hearted and #Justify.
In all honesty, they're not as good as other lip crayons I've tried such as the Revlon ones as I feel you need to apply a lot for good pigment. They wear off quite quickly too in my opinion and although they do leave a tinted stain I don't feel like that bright intense pigment last that long, but if you don't mind topping up every now and then they should be fine for you. I wore it for around 1 hour and a half to 2 hours before I felt like I really needed to apply more. When applied generously is does leave you with a nice colour and shine that doesn't feel heavy or sticky on the lips. It's also got that same mint smell like the Revlon lip crayons too.
#Broken Hearted is a raspberry pink shade whilst #Justify is a red toned orange shade.


MUA Lipstick:
 
MUA Lipstick £1 each

Next up was this MUA Lipstick. I already own an MUA Lipstick in Shade 13 which is a gorgeous bright intense red colour and I love how great the quality of this lipstick is for just £1 so being on the hunt for the perfect coral/orange shade for summer I decided to give MUA's other shades a go. I picked up both Shade 15 Juicy and Shade 16 Nectar as they seemed like the colours that were the closest to orange. I am definitely not dissapointed, I LOVE these colours. I'm sooo glad I picked them up. Shade 15 Juicy is more of a peachy orange whilst Shade 16 Nectar is a much brighter shade of orange. These lipstick are very pigmented... like VERY pigmented. They apply so easily and glide on smoothly with lots of moisture and colour. Not only do you get the lipstick but if you twist the bottom off you also get the same shade only in a lip balm. How cool. For £1, they are amazing and dare I say it... even better than most of the more expensive lipsticks I've tried. I would definitely recommend trying these out for yourself!

OOTD: So wake me up when it's all over, when I'm wiser and I'm older



Cropped T-shirt- River Island
Necklace- Dorothy Perkins
Skirt- H&M
Sandals- Primark


Hey Guys, quick post today as I have loads to get on with. I wore a simple outfit today whilst having a nose around a few shops with my mum in town. I got a few bits of makeup from Superdrug and a bikini for the River Island sale which I'll show you all in another post soon. Anyway... Love this skirt and necklace but it's a real pain as it keeps twisting and doesn't look as good when it's not straight, other than that I really love the different types of coloured metal in it. Another note to remember: the sandals are gonna take some getting used to, I'm not sure if you can see but I had to wear plasters as it was the first time I wore them out today and they kinda scrapped the backs of my feet. Ouchie.

I'm off now to watch some tv with my sis and then I've got stuff to get on with. 
Have a great night!

P.s. The face really didn't feel like having it's photo taken today.

P.p.s. Has anyone seen the pictures of Wills and Kate with little baba. ahhhh! Too cute!
