Missguided wishlist




Ive just been browsing through every online shop possible, as I always do, and I thought Id do a quick blogpost on all the things I want from missguided. If you havent been on their site before I recommend you do, they have some lovely stuff! They do some really nice pieces that would be lovely this party season and hopefully if santa brings me a few pennies for christmas ill be placing an order from missguided fairly soon.

I love rose gold and skater skirts so when I saw this skirt I fell in love, even though I hate getting my legs out this skirt is to beautiful not to wear and at a bargain price. The Tartan jacket is my cup of tea and would be perfect to chuck on everyday for sixth form, even though im meant to have a dress code I dont normally follow it! I also love the frilly crop top, I find it would look cute with high waisted jeans for that effortless yet made an effort look which everyone loves.

This is just a quick post because my outfits have been boring lately, ive just been wearing the same knitted jumper and scarf paired with my trusty h&m boots which are perfect for the English weather. (If you click on the names of the item it will send you straight there)

Mini MUA haul & review.

Matte foundation ~ £2
Brow kit ~ £3.50
Eye primer ~ £2.50

On the MUA website and currently in stores, MUA are doing 3 for 2 on there products which is a absolute bargain considering how cheap the prices are anyway. I don't have a decent MUA counter near me so I thought i'd purchase a few things off there website, I brought a foundation, eye primer and a brow kit. 

Foundation: There are only 3 shades you can choose from which is a disappointment because the foundation is actually quite good. I have oily skin so the foundation doesn't last very long but neither do my other high street brands so It wasn't a shock. I chose the palest shade because its winter and im rather pale right now, I was lucky that this colour is pretty much a perfect match. I think that if your on a budget or are considering trying it them do, because you probably wont be disappointed, for £2 you cant go wrong.

Eye primer: I havent yet tried the eye primer out because I don't wear eye shadow often, but if anyone has tried it them comment below what you think!



Brow kit: I love this little brow kit, It comes with 3 different colours which should be perfect to mix and match to make your own eye brow colour and a gel that you can use after to keep them in place. I need to buy an angled brush to use it with because i find the small one hard to use but it'll do for the time being. Overall this is my favourite item and I would recommend this to my friends.

Again I apologise for the terrible photos, Ive got to wait till christmas for a new camera.

Tartan Tuesday


jeans ~ topshop
denim jacket ~ next
scarf ~ h&m
shirt ~ newlook
jumper ~ primark 
shoes ~ primark

I know in my last OOTD I was wearing nearly exactly the same but I couldn't resist showing you my new tartan scarf, I love it! I think everyone should have some tartan in their wardrobe.

I apologize for appearance  I have no makeup on & my hair was rather windswept because I took these photos as soon as I got back from sixth form, I also should be getting a new camera for Christmas so after that the quality will improve lots but until then these blurry photos will have to do! 

I've had my blog nearly a month now & I really love having one, I might only have a few followers but I just enjoy writing about things I love & just generally having something to do, I don't know when my next post will be but until then thanks guys:D

week in photos #1

me and my bestfriend for halloween / new dressing table / christmas next month woo / restoring my computer to factory settings / cosy fire / obsessed with nutella / casio watch and topshop bracelet / barry m nail varnish 

Its been a boring week but my highlight was dressing up as the 118 men with my bestfriend, I really suit a moustache & afro! My dad brought me the most beautiful dressing table ever which im in love with & its officially christmas next month, is anyone as excited as I am? My mum restored my computer to factory settings without telling me so I lost everything which brought a tear to my eye, Ive lost 4 years worth of photos & I cant find the memory stick which has some of the photos on them!:(

Its become freezing at night so I love getting cosy infront of the fire to keep me warm on these winter nights, Ive also re-discovered my love for nutella (if youve not tried it before go buy it please!) - Ive also been wearing my casio watch everyday  & painted my nail in ' barry m - colbalt blue ' which I love but wish was more vibrant!

Tuesday morning rush OOTD

parka ~ newlook
shirt ~ newlook
jumper ~ primark
jeans ~ topshop
bag ~ primark 
shoes ~ converse

It was back to sixth form for me today, & as usual on the first day back I was running late so I quickly chucked this outfit together, its freezing in the mornings walking so I need my trusty parka to keep me warm & my converse for comfort. I took this photo when I got back so the lighting is terrible (because winter is coming) & my hair is a mess (because I couldn't be bothered to do it) I hope you like it!

Winter Wishlist



leggings~river island
top~missguided
  coat~riverisland
shoes &necklace~ASOS

Heres a few of the things that are on my wishlist this winter, the disco pants are identical to the American Apparel ones but much cheaper! I really want a pair but cant afford to splash out on real ones.

The coat or 'coatigan' as its called on the website is just a fun jacket I would be able to just chuck on most days & still look like ive made an effort, river island are doing lots of these style of coats in loads of different patterns so go check them out.. theyre a bit pricey though, this one is £65 so when youre only get £10 a week then its just on the wishlist for the moment.

The boots from asos are a perfect flatform for the winter &im in love with them, Id do anything to be able to have them, better get saving up then! Also I love the cross necklace from there, its just simple but thats what makes me love it.

Kate Moss' lipsticks




I popped into boots earlier to check out Kate Mosses new matte lipstick collection & I ended up buying these two colours, a pale nude pink for everyday use & I was very brave & brought a plum deep red colour, even though I was brave to buy it will I be brave enough to wear it? These lipsticks cost £5.49 each &I'm sorry the swatches aren't the best, but I recommend you go check out the new collection, she also has a nice red colour which I might go back & buy! Let me know if you've brought any of her new collection or think I should be brave enough to wear the dark colour...

blue my mind

BLUE NAILS


This H&M nail varnish in 'Blue my mind' may chip very easily but just look at the colour! Its a bright blue that brighten ups any outfit your wearing, I especially love wearing all black & just having this pop of colour on my nails. Maybe if I invest with a brilliant top coat it may make the polish last longer, if you have any recommendations please let me know, also if you know any other bright blues that are available on the high street please comment below:)
Thanks guys xo

topshop

(Backpack £36)
(Denim Shorts £34)
(Tee £16)
(Denim Jacket £55)

Just been casually browsing on topshop website worshiping all the clothes I can not afford and I found these four items that I have fell in love with, The little bagpack is so cute and the denim jacket is to die for, I need to win the lottery!

Tag:10 secrets

TAG: 10 Little Secrets 

1- What is one product that makes you feel like a million dollars?
In all honesty I never really feel like a 'million dollars' but something that makes me feel the closest to that is a bright lipstick, for example number 19 from Kate Moss's lipstick collection is a pink/red/coral colour that smells wonderful and feels just lovely on the lips!

2- What is your skincare secret? / A passed down skin care tip?
I have terrible skin, its oily, very red and very spot prone. I have tried so many products to try and improve it but nothing works, so if you have any magical products that could help me feel free to tell me! One thing I love is a good exfoliator, but some are just to gentle on the areas I want more toughness on, so what I do is use a clean toothbrush (not one I brush my teeth with obviously) and scrub my nose and chin to help get rid of those pesky blackheads!

3- Share your hair care secret?
Its not really a secret but using as little heat as possible on your hair works to keep it looking healthy, and when you do use heat make sure you use a decent hair protectant spray.

4- What is your biggest diet rule?
My diet inst the best really, I don't eat healthy enough! Obviously a healthy diet means your skin and hair will be healthier to, even though I eat far to much junk I never drink fizzy drinks only ever water or squash. I don't really know how much you should drink a day but a litre or more is what I usually drink.

5- Any workout tips?
Oh dear, this is not really a subject I know alot of. The only exercise I do really is the 15 minute walk to school and back, Id like to exercise regularly and tone up but I'm far to lazy to travel to the gym or anything really...

6- Which perfume is your secret weapon?
My favourite perfume right now is Lady million by Paco Rabbane! I love it, at first I thought it was far to strong but the scent grew on me, I now love it and always get people telling me I smell nice which is always a plus.

7- Show us a clothing item of yours which always turns heads?
In all honesty, I don't have one. All my clothes are old and boring! I'm in desperate need of new ones but my pocket money just doesn't stretch that far:( 

8- What is your most treasured piece of jewellery?
None of my jewellery items have any personal meaning to me, but my grandads old casio watch that my mum gave to me when he passed away is sentimental, thats the only item I would really be devastated about if I lost it.

9- Who is your style crush?
I love so many peoples style, Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato always look amazing and many of the youtube gurus I watch have AMAZING fashion sense. For example Sammi from 'beautycrush' and Jess from 'sunbeamjess' who I would recommend you check out!

10- Tell us something we dont know about you?
Really you dont know anything about me at the moment, but something you wont know is what subjects Im studying at sixth form. Im doing Maths, Chemistry, English Lit and Media Studies. I started in september so have only been there for 6 weeks.
