WINTER FLORALS





最佳- primark
短裙- primark
cardigan - topman (stolen off my boyfriend two years ago!)
boots - just fab
ring - topshop
necklace - dorothy perkins

嗨,Lovelies!关于秋季/冬季的事情使我想穿裙子和礼服全部the time. Maybe it's because there are so many pretty winter florals and tartan ones out at the moment, or maybe it's because I refuse to accept that it's actually far too cold to wear a skirt or dress most of the time. Thick tights and boots are my heroes though, I love this pair that I got from JustFab lately, I think the little gold touches make it a little more girly and cute than your average pair of military boots.
对不起,缺少我的身体在这些photos, I took them yesterday and I was feeling pretty rubbish with a very bad sore throat/ headache/ all over body ache. Ahh winter.

希望您周末愉快!

PAINT THE TOWN RED - VASELINE








嗨,Lovelies!Recently, I was contacted by the fabulous people at Vaseline, to try out their newest Limited Edition Vaseline tin, 'Paint the Town', which is a red tinted balm. I was invited to join the Paint The Town Blogger challenge, to create a glam look using red clothing or accessories. They sent me this adorable little box with some red goodies inside to inspire your look, this included a pretty red nail polish, some red lip sweets, a cute red rose hairband to wear when your hair is in a bun, a £20 topshop voucher and of course, the Paint the Town tin!

Paint The Town is a gorgeous tint that gives a tiny hint of red to the lips, giving a little bit of colour for a subtle red tint, instead of a full on red lip. Taking this into consideration, I decided to put together three outfits using a Red Blazer, showing how adding just the one red item can add so much to an outfit, without going full on red. The first outfit is a more dressy outfit, with a white chiffon top, gold sequin skirt, the red blazer adds a pop of colour, making the outfit a little more fun, while still being quite dressy. The next outfit is a little black dress paired with the red blazer. This outfit is a little more 'office' appropriate in my opinion, the red adds just a hint of colour, while still being fairly formal and smart. Finally, I paired the blazer with this gorgeous floral playsuit from missguided, the blazer brings out the red in the playsuit, making it the feature colour in the outfit.

I would recommend this Vaseline tin to anyone who likes a subtle hint of colour without going full on red. It's perfect for work, school or just for any subtle, pretty look!

What do you think of these looks? Would you like to try Vaseline Paint The Town?

BIG CLOTHING HAUL, ASOS, TOPSHOP, RIVER ISLAND, PRIMARK + MORE







Hello lovelies! I hope you've all had a fab weekend, I'm suuper excited as we've finally got a bit of sun here in the UK, about bloody time! If you follow me on twitter or instagram, you'll have seen lots of photos of shopping bags and piles of clothes etc because something very exciting happened the other day. I wonStyle in View's#tweet2win competition and won £300! I'd chosen some items already in the competition but some weren't in my size so I decided to go for a few different bits and pieces instead. Style in View is a fab fashion search engine, definitely worth checking out if you haven't already. It makes online shopping so much easier having everything in one place! Anyway onto what I bought, I've linked all the items I can find incase you fancy a peek.

猫胡子T恤 -河心岛on ASOS- 我喜欢这款T恤,这是本赛季单色趋势的晶圆厂,但它也非常有趣且易于穿。好可爱!

Red Skater Skirt -ASOS- I love skater skirts, I think they're perfect for the spring/ summer time as they're so easy to wear. I particularly love this one with black and white tshirts.

It Girl Tee -Mango on ASOS- Little bit of a cringe at what this top says, but like I said, I love skater skirts with black and white t-shirts and I really like the style of this one.

Frill Ankle Socks - Primark - I love these little socks, I think they'll look fab with skirts and dresses in the warmer weather.

Red Vans* -ASOSc/oBST海德公园- These were actually sent to me and are the only item I didn't actually purchase but I seriously love these. I love them with the little socks and think I'll wear them to travel in when I go on holiday this year as they're so comfy.

White Cropped Tee -ASOS- I've always liked these kinds of tops but never thought I'd be brave enough for them, but I thought they'd look nice with skater skirts and high waisted shorts, particularly on holiday - so I decided to just go for it!

Coral Box Pleat Skater Skirt -河心岛on ASOS- I really love the colour of this skirt, it's quite thick so I was worried it'd make the hip area look a little bit wider than it really is, but it's not too bad and it's such a pretty colour I think it can be forgiven!

Striped Top -河心岛on ASOS- I'm going to just say it, I bought this because I saw Taylor Swift wearing one similar and I loved it so much. Perfect for the monochrome trend and I love it with these kinds of skirts.

Red Skater Dress -ASOS- I really like t-shirt dresses like this, this one is a little bit longer than I'm generally used to but I'm sure I'll get over it! I love the bright red colour of this, I can't wait for the warmer weather to wear this.

Blue Lace Dress - Miss Selfridge - I bought this dress for Darren's Mum's wedding, which is late next month. I love the colour and the fit and I think it's perfect for a summer wedding - provided we get the summer weather at the end of May!

Black Crop Top -ASOS- This is exactly the same as the white but in black (obvious), I thought I'd get this in a couple of colours and black and white tend to go with everything.

Aztec Skirt -河心岛- The link I've done for this one is actually an ASOS link as I couldn't find it on the River Island website, but I actually got this in the sale in River Island for £10, so it's definitely worth looking in your local store if you like it! I love the style of this skirt, I particularly like how it looks with the cropped black tee too.

Polka Dot Bikini -Topshop- Me and Darren booked a holiday to Majorca a few days ago so of course, in holiday mode I had to buy a new bikini. I love the style of this one, it's underwired so it has a lot of support which I like. I'm not particularly chesty (at all) but I do like a bit of support from my swimwear none the less!

Nude Bow Flip Flops - Primark - I love these. They were only £2.50 in Primark which I think is bloody amazing, I really like the nude colour too as they'll go with pretty much anything.

White Sandals - Primark - Another Primark bargain at only £4, I love the little sparkly bits on these, they're super simple but I think it really adds something to them. I love white sandals with tanned feet too!

Phew! So that's it, hope you enjoyed this post! What's your favourite thing that I got?

'SALES' HAUL





Bag - £37.99 -河心岛
Make up Bag - £3 - Primark
Secret Admirer Lipstick - £8 - Topshop
Wave Goodbye Lip Stick- £7 -Topshop
Lipgloss Set - £5 (now down to £3!) -Topshop sale
Canvas Set - £2 - Primark sale
Reed Diffusers - £1 each - Primark
Cushion - £5 - Primark
Shorts - £12 -Topshop sale
Bra - £4 - New Look sale
内裤-£4.99New Look
Kate Moss Perfume Set - £13.30 -Boots sale

因此,如果您在Twitter上关注我,您会知道我今年的销售运气不佳。并不是说我曾经做过,我总是拿着圣诞节的钱,最终购买了所有全价。但是我以为我会告诉你我得到的,至少如果您喜欢的话,全价位仍然有库存!我已经链接了上面可以找到的所有内容,寻找粉红色的单词。
我去过一个新包solong and I looked through every single sale and finally just gave in and bought a full price once. I'm so glad I did though as this one is just lovely, it's fantastic quality so I don't think £37 is a bad price at all. I always like to start the new year with a new bag, nothing feels like a fresh start quite like a tidy handbag, wouldn't you agree?
I also bought yet more topshop lip products. Yes, I know but shush they're amazing. I also love primark make up bags, I don't like to spend too much on make up bags as they just get so grubby all the time. I thought this one was a useful one to put in my bag as it's not too big and it almost matches, which is a bonus.
As I've mentioned before, I'm planning to set up a mini salon in my house and I've decided on a pretty pastel colour scheme with a sort of retro feel - hence the 50s style canvases. I couldn't believe these were only £2 in Primark! How could I say no? I thought the cushion went quite well too, I'm not sure where I'll put this, probably on my massage table or something, but it was so cheap and pretty I knew I had to find a place for it somewhere. I'm loving reed diffusers lately too. My sister had one in her room at uni and it smelt beautiful. I'm going to have one of these out at all times in my 'salon'!
I think these little red topshop shorts will look fab over tights and boots while its still cool and if I fancy a darker outfit in the summer months. Also, the underwear might be a bit too much information but seriously £4 for this bra. I had no choice but to show you all. I was slightly confused and disappointed that the matching knickers weren't on sale, but £8.99 for a set as lovely as this isn't bad at all. New Looks underwear sale was pretty good in my store, it's just a pain to find matching sets.
And finally, I picked this perfume up in boots on a bit of a whim, but I love it! I've always loved Kate Moss' perfumes and this one is just lovely. It's a nice soft sweet floral scent, great for during the day. I am spectacularly bad at describing scents but you can look this up online if you're interested.

Have you had much luck in the sales?

WINTERLICIOUS TAG

圣诞节快乐!
我在YouTube上找到了这个标签,并认为它看起来很有趣,所以我会尝试一下!让我知道,如果您执行此标签,我将所有标签标记!

1) Favorite Winter Nail Polish?
Deborah Lippmann Razzle Dazzle, it's a gorgeous wine red glitter, so festive and pretty.

2)最喜欢的冬季唇部产品?

目前,我喜欢深红色,现在我还没有最喜欢的红色,但是我一般都喜欢红色。

3) Most worn Winter clothing piece?

Definitely my furry jacket! I wear it all the time and with一切。It's so cosy and warm, but still looks really lovely.

4)最磨损的冬季配件?
This would definitely be my dark red new look beanie, or knee high socks. I love them!

5) Favorite winter scent/candle?

I'm not too sure on this one, I love my Banana Nut Bread candle, but I don't think you can beat the smell ofChristmas,If you know what I mean. Christmas always smells like a bakery mixed with cinnamon, spices and pine. Weird, but I'm almost certain everyone will know exactly what I mean!

6) Favorite Winter beverage?

At the moment, mine is the 'Low Calorie Mocha' I showed inthis post. It's so simple to make!

7) All time favorite Christmas/Holiday movie?

It's got to be The Holiday for me. I watch it every single year. Though I also love Elf, of course!

8) Favorite Christmas/Holiday song?

This this this. DUH!

9)最喜欢的节日食品/待遇?
This might be boring, but it's got to be advent calender chocolate! They're so tiny and cheap and probably the crappiest quality chocolate ever but it wouldn't be december without it! Me and Darren got super childish ones this year, so the chocolate is only the crappiest!

10) What is your favorite Christmas Decoration this year?
Definitely the little sparkly deer Darren bought for me, she's so cute! The pink Sparkly bow hanging above is a very close second too. I just love a bit of glitter!

11) What's at the top of your Christmas list?

As a lot of you might know, I'm a beauty therapist, so I've asked for a massage table and beauty trolley so I can set up a mini-salon at home, which is suuuper exciting! I'm also hoping for some new make up but other than that I'm not really too fussed. I've been so busy buying other people's I forgot about myself a bit!

12) What are your plans for the holidays this year?

I'm spending Christmas day with my Parents, my twin Sister Hannah, my Boyfriend Darren and my Grandparents, which will be lovely. I love having family around at Christmas, it wouldn't be the same without it!

I hope you enjoyed this post, definitely do this tag if you'd like to and let me know if you do!

I HEART FALL/ AUTUMN TAG

我喜欢这个标签,最近我看到它在YouTube上浮动,所以我想我将其带到旧博客。秋天是我一年中最喜欢的时间,所以这个标签非常完美!让我们开始!

1. Favorite Fall lip product?
I'm honestly not very brave with lip products and while I do love a good red, my favourite lipstick in the Autumn time is nude. I find some pinks a little too summery but a nude in the autumn is fool proof. My favourites are the two in the photo below, Topshop Nevada lipstick and Collection 2000 Powder Puff Matte Lip Cream. They're just gorgeous nudes, Nevada is more your typical nude lipstick while Powder Puff is a more natural 'my lips but...nuder?' matte colour.




2. Favorite Fall Nail Polish?
As I'm training and practicing as a beautician, it's actually not practical for me to wear nail polish right now which is a little bit sad really! But when I do paint my nails in the Autumn time, I love Sally Hansen Iced coffee, again, while I love reds, I do still wear colour in the Autumn and red doesn't go with everything. This polish is more of a warm nude and it just looks fab with everything which is great!





3. Favorite Starbucks Fall Drink?

I honestly don't really like the hot drinks in Starbucks that much, I know, right? Wanna kill me? Me too. I love the cold cream frappuccinos but my favourite drinks in the autumn time are from another coffee shop called esquires. They do THE best hot chocolates in all different flavours like hazelnut, honeycomb, gingerbread, white chocolate, mint etc. Me and Darren went in there most days while we were at college and I'm sure we'll go in there whenever we're in town this season too.




4. Favorite Fall Candle?


这是一个随机但这香蕉Nut Bread one I found in TK Maxx last year. I'm about half way done with it now which is quite sad as I'm not sure if you can still get this candle, I'll have to look into that. It's honestly the loveliest scent ever, if you don't like the smell of banana you'll definitely hate it but to me it smells like a warm banana nut muffin, which I think is just lovely.

5. Favorite Fall Scarf or accessory

My favourite accessory is definitely this read bobble beanie that Darren bought me. I've only had it a few days but I don't ever ever want to take it off my head, it's so cute and keeps my head SO warm. I also love the knitted headband I got in cambridge a couple of days ago, it's a bit different but I love it!




6. Haunted house, haunted hay ride, or haunted corn maze?


正如所有英国博客作者所说的那样,我不知道什么是鬼屋或玉米迷宫,所以我认为我不能回答这个问题。尽管我去过英格兰的奥尔顿塔(Alton Towers)的一个鬼屋,但我哭了,就像合法的哭泣一样。我讨厌那些你走过的东西,人们跳出来抓住你,你知道吗?无法处理,太真实了!!!

7. Favorite Halloween movie?

I don't really know about a specific Halloween movie but one of the scariest films I've seen recently is Sinister. That was seriously jumpy! I won't ruin it for anyone that hasn't seen but it's honestly so creepy, music can make or break a film and this film seriously hadthe我听过的最令人毛骨悚然的音乐。而且,恐怖的孩子是最糟糕的事实。





8. Favorite candy to eat on Halloween?

我实际上从来没有做过窍门或善良,但是我最喜欢的糖果是诸如软糖熊或软糖蠕虫之类的东西。我喜欢那些天然的糖果糖果,例如蛇和东西。我是这样的孩子!




9. What are you dressing up as for Halloween?!


奇怪的是,万圣节实际上是我的和达伦的“周年纪念日”(感到奇怪的是我们没有结婚!)不过,这会很可爱,很高兴告诉人们我们的周年纪念日是万圣节!



10. What is your Favorite thing about Fall?
I love so many things, the leaves, the weather, the way everything looks outside, the fashion, but most of all it has to be the build up to Christmas. Anyone who says they don't love Christmas is lying, fact. When all the lights come on in town and there's a santa's grotto and lush bring out their christmas stuff it all just feels so magical! I love shopping for presents with my family and friends and boyfriend then sitting down for a hot chocolate (from esquires!).


So that's my fall/ autumn tag!
I tag YOU so if you've done this or are planning to do this, do let me know in a comment, I love reading them!

LITTLE CAMBRIDGE HAUL

As promised yesterday, this is a haul of some of the stuff I bought yesterday. I bought a couple of other things but one was for Darren and the other is a surprise for someone so it can't be included. It's not a very big haul but I'm so pleased with what I got I just couldn't wait to show you all. You may notice a slight colour theme, tell me if you spot it ;)
我打算做一些圣诞节购物,但并没有真正找到很多东西,所以我希望我和达伦能回到剑桥,或者可能在下个月的其他地方去一些圣诞节购物!尽管我必须说,虽然伦敦有一些令人惊叹的商店,但我确实在圣诞节期间有些压力,所以我们必须拭目以待!无论如何,漫步让我们进入拖船。
jumper - h&m skirt - new look (generation 915)

First off is this light knit jumper, Darren actually bought this for me which was lovely of him. Its a very light knit which makes it perfect for layering in the Autumn/ Winter time. I loved this because it's great to wear when you're going out during the day, as it's thin enough to wear comfortably under a coat and won't be too hot when you go indoors.
The second and last item of clothing I bought was this red skirt - I know, it looks a lot like the one I had on in昨天的文章, I can explain. Don't tell anyone, but the 'skirt' I had on yesterday was actually a dress with the top folded under! I've been after a red skirt like this for ages now but found that a lot of them came up quite long on me and I like my skirts to be relatively short, not flash my undies short, but I just find a lot of skirts are an awkward middle length. So I headed to New Look kids section! The age 14-15 was actually still a little long so this is age 12-13!! Before anyone goes all lecturey on me, I think the age 12-13 is about a size 6-8 anyway as it fits me perfectly, seriously if you're a UK size 6-10 or possibly even 12, go to the new look kids section!! It's so much cheaper and they have some lovely bits.

headband - h&m hat - new look

I love the way people wear these knitted headbands in the winter and I think they look so cute, this actually keeps my head surprisingly warm considering it doesn't actually cover my whole head. I love that it has little sequins sewn into the knit, so cute!
Then Darren got me this gorgeous red beanie from New Look. I've been after a nice beanie for ages now, I was worried it wouldn't suit me at first but I tried it on in the shop and loved it! I put it on right away yesterday, there are photos of me wearing it inthis post因此,您可以看到它的外观。

Topshopnevada lipstick - mac hue

我在Topshop上得到了这种裸色的口红,因为我需要一个新的裸色,我非常喜欢Topshop的口红。我喜欢这个,我可能会在某个时候对此进行完整的评论,所以让我知道您是否想看到这一点雷电竞app官方下载。
我终于与心爱的色调唇膏团聚!我有几个空的,所以我回到了Mac,免费获得了!
hollister crescent bay body spray - lush snow fairy shower gel

These Hollister body sprays are bit expensive at £12 each but this smells so so amazing so I can forgive them. It is described as a watermelon, poppy and sugary woods scent. I definitely agree with this, it's so sweet and fruity, not particularly suited to the Autumn/ Winter time but hey ho! I find that the scent actually lasts quite a while on these compared to a lot of body sprays. They're just great to freshen up during the day.
谁不喜欢雪仙子,对吗?Lush的圣诞节东西是如此的可爱,我并不是真正的洗澡,我更喜欢洗澡,就像我喜欢浴缸炸弹,我真的没有发现太多用途!因此,Snow Fairy对我来说是完美的,因为我每天都可以使用它。它闻起来像糖果牙线和泡泡糖,它很漂亮!

What do you think? Have you made any cheeky purchases lately? Let me know!
Also let me know if you'd like any reviews of any of these products!

告诉我,钉子



dress -shikha london*
bracelet - dorothy perkins

First off, sorry about the lack of my head, I was out in the rain before taking these photos so my face was having none of it. That aside, let's all give our full attention to this fabulous dress shall we?
I was lucky enough to be contacted by Shikha London (linked above) who sent me a few gorgeous dresses (the others will feature in blog posts very soon) and this is one of them. This isn't actually one of the dresses I chose as this one was from their new collection but wow did they chose well!
我一直在关注这样的礼服and almost bought one so it's lucky I didn't!
As we all know,的时间接近,比w快得多e all realised, it's October which means next month is November, Christmas shopping month. I know, I don't know whether to cry or sing rudolf the red nose reindeer. But despite all the bad weather and mental shopping trips, it does mean party season! I think this dress would be an amazing dress to wear around Christmas and I'm actually thinking of wearing it on Christmas Day. It's such a beautiful colour, dark reds like this scream December to me and the gold spikes give it a bit of edge (and add to the christmas colour theme!) which I absoluteley adore. As much as I am a very girly girl, I do loves me a bit of an edgy, rocky outfit every now and again and this dress ticks all of my metaphorical boxes! ;)
I also want to take a minute to appreciate the quality of this dress. I have a lot of skater dresses and some of them are just so horribly thin with uneven hemlines and/ or loose threads all over the place but this one is just amazing. Thank you Shikha London, I very much approve!
