LIEBSTER AWARD

Friday 27 September 2013


I woke up a couple of days ago to find out that I've been nominated for a Liebster Award by Kelly over at Dream In Lace. I've enjoyed reading her posts on Paris and Milan fashion week. Give her a read if you haven't already!

WANT(S) OF THE WEEK | RIVER ISLAND AND NEXT

Thursday 26 September 2013


I've seen Lily Pebbles, from What I Heart Today, wearing this jacket and I fell in love with it instantly. It's £35 from River Island and is ideal for this inbetween weather we're having at the moment. Styled with black skinnies, boots and a plain top underneath or thrown on over dresses, this jacket is bound to look effortless with whatever you wear.

THE AUTUMN TAG

Wednesday 25 September 2013


I've seen this tag on lots of blogs, most recently on Blue Bow. I love all things Autumn so I thought I'd give this tag a go! The only thing I dislike about Autumn is that I'm always ill when it comes around. This year is no exception (I'm currently in my Hello Kitty onesie as I write this).

LIFE POST #4 | SOUTHAMPTON WEEKEND

Tuesday 24 September 2013

This weekend I had 4 days straight off work so I went to visit my boyfriend in Southampton. I'm feeling really ill at the moment so hopefully this will be a good post for y'all to read :)

Friday


Me and the boyfriend
After arriving in Southampton I sat in on some of Sam's seminars for his editorial team. He runs his student magazine so has been busy training them for the year ahead.

NOTD | BARRY M MATT WHITE

Friday 20 September 2013


I always use the same nail polish - coral, purple and black. For my weekend in Southampton I wanted something completely different. So white it is! I accidentally bought a corrector nail polish thinking it was white. I'm a little silly haha.

WANT OF THE WEEK | KIMONO BLOOM V NECK CAMI

Tuesday 17 September 2013

Topshop (yet again, I know I'm obsessed) have some great tops in at the moment. I bought a black one when I went to Devon and it's really comfortable and shows the right amount of cleavage. They do camis in a range of different colours but I love this one. It's £26 - a tad more expensive than the other ones but the print is Autumn inspired and very pretty.

HAUL | WEEKEND TREATS

Sunday 15 September 2013

Next weekend I'm visiting the boyfriend in Southampton, and catching up with my old housemates and closest friends, I'm so so so excited to see everyone again! I thought I'd buy a few new bits before I go, why not eh?! Today started off as just getting my haircut but turned into a bit of a shopping spree with my mum - my favourite person to go shopping with.

Excuse the quality of some of these images, the lighting isn't very good at this time anymore!

FOTD | WORK MAKE UP

Saturday 14 September 2013

So I'm not the best person at make up. I use really old stuff and I'm missing concealer but I still thought I'd do a FOTD to show you what I wear. To be honest, I don't wear much unless I'm going out, I like a more natural look.

WINTER IS COMING

Friday 13 September 2013

So you all may have noticed the change in the weather. It's pretty much time for jumpers, scarfs, coats and boots. I usually hate Winter weather but this year I cannot wait for it to arrive! I love cosy evenings in with my onesie on, drinking hot chocolate and watching a Christmas film.
In preparation for winter, and the topic for my first winter post, I've bought a winter coat. I always leave it till January to buy one, as that's my birthday and I have money. But by that time all the nice ones have gone. So this year, I've been prepared and by prepared I mean popping into H&M for a look and finding the most gorgeous coat!

REVIEW | AVON NAIL ART DESIGN STRIPS

Thursday 12 September 2013


A few weeks back, I wrote a post about ordering the nail art strips by Avon. They are £4.50 per strip so I decided to get two: Mosiac Flowers and Racy Lacy.

LIFE POST #3 | THURLESTONE ADVENTURES

Wednesday 11 September 2013

It's been a few weeks since my last blog post because I've been busy at work and seeing my boyfriend before he goes back to university. But now I'm back with lots of ideas for posts, which I can hopefully keep up to date with. Fingers crossed!

A couple of weeks ago, over bank holiday weekend, I went to Thurlestone in Devon with my boyfriend and his family. It took about 7 hours to get there because of the huge amount of traffic coming out of London but we got there in one piece on Saturday, ready for some sunbathing, swimming and dinner.

Thurlestone Hotel

After a little bit of exploring and getting comfy in our lovely room, it was time for dinner. But I had a bit of a nightmare with my evening wear: my white playsuit was more see through than I initially thought and my black dress had a stain on it. So I put on my mustard coloured skirt but managed to stain that in the process of getting ready. I ended up wearing my back up dress. I didn't take any photos that night, for obvious reasons!
