A week or so of outfits 3#

So hi...

Been a while since I put out one of these hasn't it? kinda been forgetting to photograph outfits, just due to exam and revision and all that malarkey, as such there's a little less than previous ones but enjoy.





Definitely liking my outfit choices a lot more recently, The end of summer has really seen myself stop caring about others opinions and starting to buy and wear things I really like just for myself and own sense of style. And I like it.

Summer Hopes & plans 2015

So hi...

List type posts are so satisfying to write, I don't know why but It's just so simple and it makes me happy making lists. Seriously you guys should see some of my notebooks, list central (there actually will be a little look into my notebooks on Saturday 23rd) Anyway, to the point of this post, Summer is nearly here, though the change of warm sun the rain recently makes summer seem so far away... But for me it is well and truly here. I finish my last exam today and tomorrow I head back to my home town and it's officially the beginning of my Summer. As my year so far I feel has gone pretty damn well I'm hoping to have a very active and exciting Summer to continue my good year. I have a number of little things I want to do, some actual activities and other just general aims I hope to achieve over the whole of summer.

- Get a Summer job (Multiple if possible) -I've actually already got a small cleaning job thanks to my sister but I really want to get a lot of experience and work for savings.
- Aim for £500 towards savings - this is related to the job thing as obviously I need a job to earn money for my savings but I'm really hoping to get at least £500 for my car savings.
- Boost creativity - Not exactly Summer related but I'll have a lot of time to do this over Summer. I really hope to get back into drawing and painting, as well singing, thinking even to return to the old Youtubes.
- Get my Dress making on. - May have mentioned this before but I really want to get a hang of dressmaking, patterns and all. So over Summer I'm really looking forward to learning sewing and creating my own clothes, Also Considering to learn knitting or crocheting. 
- Get outside - Little more typical but I want to make a really strong effort to get out and about at least 3-4 days a week, whether that's with friends or just exploring things on my own.
- See the Uni people - Really want to stay in close contact with my friends I've made at Uni, They really mean a lot to me and It'd suck to not see them all Summer, Luckily we've already got a few plans and ideas which is super nice.
- Work on my Health and Fitness game - Already a work in progress this one but Summer gives so much opportunity to work on my self and own confidence and health. I've had a good head start the last few weeks of Uni and really hoping to continue this and as mentioned in the Instagram post I've put up I want to lose a bit of weight.
- Volunteer If I can for a concert or festival - This is a kinda random one I think would be amazing for experience and would just feel amazing, I obvious favourites to volunteer at would be the likes of Reading, Glastonbury and Download. But even a small time one would be super cool.
- Host or Attend A BBQ - Because how could you go the whole summer without having a BBQ?? that's right, you couldn't.
- Become more of a morning person. - I'm a super night owl. Honestly I have always had a super bad sleeping pattern, I'm one of those strange individuals who manages much better on smaller amounts of sleep. I wake up earlier and feeling better on 4/5 Hours sleep than I do 8+ hours sleep. But sleep is important so I want to try get myself up in the mornings as well as get a decent amount of sleep.
- Travel As much as I can - I'm not really talking abroad travelling here but just getting out of my home town, there's so many little places to do around Luton and even London is just up the road, So I wanna go and explore these places a lot more.
- Do want I want and be more adventurous. - I've gone through quite a few changes this year, I've really been able to 'find myself' and feel a lot more confident. A small example is my new piercings, I've wanted them for years, but worried so much about others views that I held back, now that I've got them I feel so much more confident and like my personality is being expressed better. I'm planning to continue this, say ye to more, Not worry about other others opinions and not be put down.

That's the whole of my little list of things I wanna do over the Summer this year.
What plans and hopes do you have for summer this year?

Those Statement Necklaces

So Hi...

I've always been into my necklaces, maybe because I feel like necklaces can look good no matter the size, It's easy sprucing up of an outfit. So along with this I'm a big fan of pretty statement necklaces to add a little more sparkle to a plain or casual outfit. Because of this love I'm got a tiny little collection of my to go statement necklaces which I thought I would show off.
 This first necklace is definitely my favourite, It's also probably the first proper chunky statement necklace I ever got, to the point that I don't remember where I got it from or whether I bought it for myself or it was a present, so it's a pretty old one, but It's such a bold statement piece. I always get compliments when I wear this necklace out and it makes an outfit look so much more flashy and add a little of a grunge feel to an outfit.
 This simple gold statement necklace was actually only £1 in a local store called 21 in Perry Barr along with the leaf one below which was also £1. What a bargain for a statement necklace! I love this necklace because it's super plain but at the same time paired with a plain black dress for example it makes such a difference and add so much to an outfit.
 This necklace as already mentioned was £1. It's another gold one and makes me think of Greek goddess for some reason, Also makes me think of a poison ivy as an outfit. It's such pretty looking and I love the details of the leaves.
 This is a super gothic looking necklace and I absolutely love it. It's the sort of necklace that looks absolutely amazing with shirts underneath the collar, So pretty and stylish looking.
 This one is a very cutesy necklace that I imagine I'll wear loads in the summer with pretty little summer dresses and play-suits. I think it's also a good choice when I wanna go extra girly looking on a night out or for a cute but smart outfit, I like that it looks like flowers/petals, or maybe that's just me.
This last one is a probably one of the plainest out of the lot and I surprisingly got it from Asda but It's a super sophisticated necklace and it makes me feel very grown up and lady like when I wear it. The woven detail is gorgeous as well.

And that's my little statement necklace collection, I have a huge collection of necklaces in general, Maybe I'll show it off in a blog post one day, though I wouldn't be able to talk about each one like this, we'd be here forever.
Which of these is your favourite necklace? let me know down in the section comments below.

My Favourite Summer clothes.

So hi

Showcase type of post today! Showing off my favourite clothes which I'll be wearing the most this summer. Unfortunately I have a super small collection of summery clothes but I have savings so Shopping trip may be in order once I return back to the home town (it's Luton if ya didn't know) But anyway, these are my pretty clothes that I like, yay.

This first dress is very holiday for me, It's the sort of dress I'd only wear in the dead middle of Summer where it's really hot and warm. I think I may have bought this for a holiday a while back. It's super colourful compared to the rest of my wardrobe but I do still love it.

 This next dress is actually my favourite dress that I own if I'm honest. I love the print and the lace on the top, even the cut is perfect. It's just the perfect style for my personal tastes and I back still wear it in winter with tights boots and a scarf which is a bonus!
This dress is super duper girly, It has layers underneath and it's very flowy and cute, I got this one from Clothesminded and I'm pretty sure it wasn't more than £10. I think it was £6/£8 IT has a nice cut like the last one and it's got a very cute but grown up looking floral pattern.



The last thing one is a play-suit and it's started a little bit of an obsession where I really want a whole load of play-suits. This is similar to my favourite dress in pattern. It's simplistic, not too much floral and it sits so nicely I feel. And cause it's a play-suit I can feel completely comfortable which is a little more annoying with a dress.

Make-up Revolution Haul Part 2

So Hi...


Part 2 of my Make-up Revolution Haul today and this is a pretty small one, and it also has a little bit of a theme to it. All base related products aiming to improve mover all make-up application.


The first purchases I made is the Pro-face mini brush set. These are pretty adorable little face brushes. I went for the mini set purely because it was cheaper and I personally don't mind working with slightly smaller brushes. The brushes themselves feel lovely and soft and I now want a little candle holder or something to use as a little brush holder for them that can sit next to the bigger brushes.
As well as the mini set I also bought a normal sized brush. I bought the F101 Face brush, just because I don't really have any brushes I feel are really suited for foundation application and It's about time I got one, It's a pretty looking brush and feels super soft and if we get along I may have to purchase a few more brushes from Make up Revolution but we'll see.

The other two products I got are both dedicated to making my make-up last longer and hopefully look better overall. the Pro Fix Spray is something I've been wanting for a while, but so far it has always been sold out in Superdrug. I'm gutted to say that this product was leaking when it arrived so I'm missing half the product but I am waiting for a reply from Make up Revolution about this. But I'm really excited about using it. I also got thr Ultra all day prime and anti-shine balm which I have high hopes for, especially with the anti-shine part. I always feel like my face looks shiny, It's a major issue of mine and although it probably doesn't look anywhere near as bad as I think it's still an issue. So I'm hoping this product will lessen the shine factor and give me a few extra hours of wear for my make-up.

And those are the odd bit's I got in my huge Make-up revolution haul, The biggie is going to be in part 3 with the spring collection set.

Primark Haul!

So hi...


I hope you guys enjoy hauls, This is my second ( after the Superdrug beauty haul here) and I have another one planned for a make-up revolution haul as I went a bit crazy on their site the other day. Anyway for now we're talking Primark, I have to say for a stingy student like me primark is just so good. Of course the quality isn't absolutely amazing but the products do last a fair while when treated kindly and they are so so cheap! so probably about 2 weeks ago me and my flatmates had a little wander around and I came out with £40 well spent.

First of all as a basic necessity I picked up some tights, nice and simple. Next I picked up this gorgeous multi-chain necklace! It's actually so pretty, It's like a statement necklace but at the same time it's so simplistic and cute, and i love the little part at the end of the necklace, It's just all round pretty.

After I picked up these cute floral slip on shoes, I'm recently really loving patterned slips on's and unfortunately primark was way too packed and messy for me to properly have a good look around the shoe section but I did get time to grab these in my size and get out of there, they are as expect don't have a super thick sole but they are definitely super comfy and great for when I really can't be bothered but still wanna make some effort to get about the day.

I also picked up a home item in the form of this super summery Duvet set, I seen it a while back on gabs from VelvetGh0st's Instagram and I immediately fell in love with it! I also found out it's reversible, one side is bigger multi coloured pineapples, while the other side is grey coloured smaller pineapples, two looks in one! amazing, It's currently on my bed sheets and it makes me happy.

Next is clothes where I surprisingly only picked up two bits, mainly because I just couldn't deal with being in there too long as it was hectic and I think my friends felt similarly. The first thing I got was this super cosy harry potter print top, which I'll be mentioning tomorrow so I won't talk any more about that!


The other thing I got was quite a risky purchase but it was only £5 so I didn't feel it would be much of a lost if I didn't like it.
It's this white playsuit with a pretty neon coloured Aztec print and I thought this would be great for the middle of summer on a super hot day when I'm out and about with a nice jacket and some cool sandals ( which is on my list to buy! )

And those were all my purchases from Primark recently! Though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't dying for anther cheap shopping spree, especially with my uni year nearing an end, I think I might treat myself!
