Wedding OOTD

Hey Lovelies, over a week ago my parents got married after 25 years of being together, it was so surreal I never thought they would after being together for so long. Anyway I wanted to do an outfit post because I loved the dress I bought, I didn't include pictures of my family because I didn't know if they wanted to be on here.

This dress is from Debenhams and was on sale for only £50, the blazer was from Missguided for £18, I wore some black heels that were from Matalans ages ago and my bag is from Primark.

I love the one shoulder design and the pattern of the dress, I think it is really elegant and the blazer gives a splash of colour to the outfit, so it's not all dark and it's a nice smart blazer that I can wear for interviews and it's a nice colour.

I kept my makeup quite minimal, I used pinks and browns on my eyes but really blended it out and had winged eyes, peachy cheeks and a everyday neutral pink lip.

The wedding was really magical and such an amazing day and me and my sister got to be witnesses and sign the registry.

What I Got For Christmas 2014!

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day and had an amazing Christmas and got some lovely presents. First off I want to say in no way am I bragging, I'm extremely grateful for all the presents I got and I love these type of posts and I wanted to share with you, what I got.

I've done these posts in the past and people seem to enjoy them so I decided I would share with what I got and I didn't know anything on what I was getting.

I got these three different hand and nail cream from one of the schools I work at which was very sweet of them, it's by Apothecary Hand Care Collection and one is lilac and sage, one lemon and fig and the other is elderflower and rhubarb. From a friend I got these cupcake bath fizzers they smell so nice. Then from a neighbour I got this body butter and sugar scrub set from Marks and Spencer. My sister got me the Zoella Fizz Bar, I've not tried any of Zoe's range and I love baths so I'm excited to try it. I got too different candles one from my mum and dad which is the Simply Home Yankee Candle in Christmas Treats and it smells so nice. The other candle is a Yankee Candle in Happy Christmas which also smells amazing and was from a child I work with which was so sweet.

I got this box of amazing goodies from the lovely Chelsea, it included a Dry Shampoo, 3 in 1 Cleansing Water, Carmex, Collection Mascara, Makeup Revolution Lipstick, Yankee Candle, Nails, Necklace, Press Powder, Tangle Attack, Face Mask and Samples, Brush and a small Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser, which I didn't expect and I'm so grateful to her for getting me this.

I got this Fearne Brush Set from my Mum and Dad which are really nice and I'm excited to use and I don't have many brushes. I got this Be Enchanted Star Light, Star Bright Colour Collection which is such a nice little kit that I got from a neighbour, it has eyeshadows a couple neutral shades,  a green, greys, blue and purple shades, two pink blushes and four lip glosses it's such a cute little palette. I got the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle from my parents I've wanted this from ages and I'm so happy I got this and I'm excited to use it.

There was two nail polishes from Binky in Purple Shimmer and Red, they are both gorgeous shades and will be wearing them, I got these from my parents too. I got this Dolce & Gabbana Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipstick in Natural from my sister I didn't even know Dolce & Gabbana did makeup till I got this. My mum and dad got me the Rimmel London Day 2 Night Mascara, I've tried this mascara before and I loved it then. From the lovely Alessia I got this gorgeous Nars duo in Kalahari, I've only ever tried a blush from Nars and I loved it so I'm excited to try this duo and the colours just look so stunning and the sort of shades I would wear, I'm so grateful for this gift.

These two tops were from my mum and dad and there both from New Look, one is a black lace top and the other is a grey jumper with 3/4 sleeves, that is light and lace detailing on the bottom, there both really pretty and my sort of style. I got different pairs of socks I got some more black ones and some big thick cosy long socks, our house is always the place where socks go missing so I always need more. Then I got a few pair of new silky pants.

To start off with I got three different sets of PJ's, the penguin and cat PJ sets are both from Primark and they are so soft and comfy, looking forward to wearing them. The stripped ones are from New Look and they are thin PJ's, these were from family. This is a black and white blanket but you can wrap around yourself but it doesn't have sleeves, it's hard to explain but this is from New Look and it was from my sister and I never knew about these till I got one. Then I got this dressing gown from my mum and dad, not sure where it's from but its burgundy with polka dots and isn't too thick and so soft and comfy, I love it and I wear dressing gown's a lot of the time.

I got some jewellery too, I got two different pairs of earrings from my mum and dad, a pair is from Wallis that are silver with beads and the other is from Matalans and are gold with orange and a pale white stones and both are really pretty and I don't have many dangly earrings. The watch was from my sister and is from New Look it's pink and rose gold with diamantes, it's a lot like a Michael Kors watch but cheaper and I only have one watch that I wear. Then I got this big mug from my friend that has a hot chocolate mix and a little whisk.

Then I got some chocolates and sweets, I have eaten some of them but these are some that's left. I always get chocolates/sweets at Christmas which is great but I love chocolate so much that I'm going to gain quite a bit of weight. I also got some money too.

The biggest surprise was on Christmas Day was finding out that my parent's are getting married after being together nearly 25 years they are now getting married and me and my sister are going to be witnesses. It's not going to be a big wedding but I'm so excited!

What did you get for Christmas?

OOTN- Dark Night

Hey Lovelies, hope your having a nice weekend, I've not been too well but I still wanted to get a post up for you. A few weeks ago I went out for my sister's boyfriend birthday and I thought I would share with you my outfit and I haven't done an outfit post in a while.

This dress is from Select and I got it 3/4 months ago and is was really inexpensive I think it was £17.99/19.99 and its simple but pretty, it's got floral lace detailing on it and I love lace and floral patterns. I just paired it with my heels from Matalan's, there not too high and are easy to walk in and so I love wearing them. I kept the look simple with just some black oval earrings and my silver ring. For my makeup I went with a smokey eye and kept my cheeks and lips natural.

I love this outfit because it's simple and not too dressy and is perfect for just going out for something to eat at a restaurant or on a date and it isn't too much but it still looks like you put effort in. I think we all love a good black dress and it's ideal for this time of year.

What's your favourite black dress you own?

Autumn Wishlist

Hey Lovelies, I hope you've all had a nice day, I thought I would do a wishlist I haven't done one in a while and there is a few things I want ready for Autumn.

First thing is boots, mine got wrecked from Winter so I need some more and I love boots for Autumn and Winter these are the Black High Biker Boots from New Look and they are £24.99 which is a good price for boots. I chose the black ones they also have tan ones but black go with everything.

This is the Cameo Rose Black Boucle Zip Front Jumper from New Look and its £17.99, I don't have many jumpers and I need warmer clothes for Autumn and Winter. The other top is also from New Look and is the Grey Fine Knit Split Back Top and is also £17.99 its long sleeved and I liked the split back so it will be perfect for Autumn because its not too thick and long sleeved.

Then there is the Tanya Burr Lip Gloss in Vampire Kiss this is a deep red and for Autumn, this is the time when I love wearing darker lip colours so this is perfect and the lip glosses only cost £6.99 I'm yet to try the Tanya Burr lip glosses but I've heard so many good things about them, so I definitely want to try them.

Next up is a MAC Lipstick in Hang Up, I love MAC lipsticks they are one of my favourite brands for lip products there always pigmented, long lasting and not drying on the lips. I chose Hang Up as it is a dark deep berry shade lipstick and I love dark shades for Autumn. It is a cremesheen so it will be creamy and moisturising on the lips. MAC lipsticks are £15.50.

Lastly is this Aztec Print Jersey Onesie and its from Matalan, I don't own a onesie and I really need one so I can be kept nice and warm at night. This aztec print is really nice and I also want to find an animal one either I think there really cute. It's only £12 which is a good price.

Do you have anything on your wishlist for Autumn?

Summer OOTD and FOTD

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day. Today I'm doing a fashion and beauty post, I haven't done an outfit post in ages so I thought I would and I love this outfit.

I mentioned this dress in my fashion haul, this dress is from Dorothy Perkins for £10 and its a lovely peachy colour, its a thicker material but its still alright for Summer. The accessories I wore were a floral necklace from New Look this was to add something to the dress and earrings from Wallis. Then I just wore some sandals and these were from BHS that I got ages ago.

I kept the makeup simple and nothing too dramatic. I just applied my foundation which was Bourjois Healthy Mix and Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation and Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and Rimmel London Stay Matte. 

For my eyes I applied shade 1 which is a Maybelline Mono in Gold Diamonds all over the lid and shade 2 into the crease and 3 on the out corner but I blended it well these shades are both out of the MUA Undressed Palette and then used a champagne shade for the highlight under the brow bone. Then I applied mascara which was Maybelline Falsies and Benefit They're Real. For my eyebrows I just filled them in with a dark brown eyeshadow and applied clear mascara over the top.

Then I slightly contoured on my cheeks with the Sleek Contour Kit and applied the NYC Blush in West Side Wine on my cheeks and highlighted with the highlight from the Sleek Contour Kit.

Finally for lips I used the Bourjois Color Boost in Peach on the Beach to finish the look.

I hope you enjoyed the post and what's your favourite outfit and look to wear for summer?

Fashion Haul

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day. Recently I went shopping and bought a few bits so I thought I would share with you, what I got.

First up is this peach dress this is from Dorothy Perkins, it's quite a thick material so it will be better for Spring but still nice for Summer. It fits really nice to my shape and I love the colour and it was only £10 which is such a bargain.

Next up is this purple pencil skirt that is from New Look it was £14.99, if you've read my blog for a while you will know purple is my favourite colour which was a reason for me buying the skirt. This skirt is also smart and I can wear in Autumn as it is a thicker material.

These high waisted shorts were also from New Look and were £19.99, I have a few pair of shorts but non are high waisted so I wanted to buy some. These are really soft material and fit so nicely and will be great for Summer.

This pink vest cami top was from also from New Look and was £9.99, this was also to go with the high waisted shorts and it's a nice outfit for the Summer. I love this detailing on the bottom of the top it's really pretty and the material is really soft.

Last up is this dress from Primark, it's a gorgeous purple shade, I wanted it in blue but they didn't have my size but I might go get it in blue too as it's only a £5 and is such a bargain and you can't go wrong. I love the design of the dress and it's T-Shirt type material.

Have you bought any new clothes recently?

OOTN- Out On The Town

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a great weekend, yesterday I went out for my friends birthday and I thought I would share with you my outfit, I haven't done an outfit post in a while and I loved this outfit that I wore, so I thought I would do a blog post on it. I didn't have enough time to take pictures on my camera so this is just of my phone but the quality isn't too bad.

The dress is from Jane Norman and I got it about a month ago in the sale for £25, so that was a bargain and I just love this dress it's tight fitting dress and hugs to my body perfectly. My shoes are from Matalans and I got them a while ago so I don't know if you can still get them, the heels aren't too high and they are easy to walk and quite comfortable so I really like wearing them.

This dress is perfect for nights out and it will fit petite and taller people, I'm quite small at 5'2 and my sister tried this dress on and she's a lot taller and it fitted her too. The dress hasn't got too much going on and I just think it's really sleek and elegant. 

The only accessories I wore with this dress was earrings, I could have also worn a bracelet but with this dress I didn't think I need to many accessories as the dress was the main focus of the outfit.

I hope you enjoyed the post, what is your favourite dress to wear on a night out?

Spring/Summer Wishlist

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day, today I thought I would do a wishlist, I've only ever done one and it was months ago so I thought I would do another one and this time for spring/summer.

I'll start of with clothes and these are all from New Look, if you know me New Look is one of my favourite clothing shops, I mostly shop there as I always find something I like and it's at a reasonable price. The first top is a Pale Blue Daisy Broderie Shell Top that is £14.99, I really like the colour of the top, which is perfect for spring/summer and I like the design and this will be nice to wear with leggings. The shorts below are Black Floral Print Crochet Trim Shorts at £12.99, if you know me, you know I love floral print and I have quite a few floral dresses but I don't think I own any floral shorts and I think these are really pretty and you can wear a vest with them. I always wear vests and shorts in summer and these shorts will be really nice to wear.

The other top is a Cream Floral Print Peplum Cami at £12.99 as I've said before I love floral and this has nice pale colours on and will look nice with shorts or leggings. The other shorts are Black Geo Print Runner Shorts at £12.99 these are simple and plain type of shorts but if you pair this with a bright orange or pink vest I think it will look really nice and stand out.

Lastly the Tanya Burr Lips and Nails Range, I am yet to try her range but I've heard great reviews and all the shades that have come out look amazing and I now really want to try them. There is a variety of shades that will suit all the different seasons but I just picked out a couple that will be perfect for spring/summer. The Nail Polish is in Bright and Early and it costs £5.99, this looks like a corally pink shade that I always think looks great in spring and summer. For the Lip Gloss I chose Aurora that is £6.99 this is a pink shimmery shade that I think will look lovely over most shades of lipstick and is a good colour for all year round, I also think Picnic in the Park looks amazing it's a pinky corally shade. I think all the names are really cute too.

Do you have anything on your wishlist, let me know.

Summer Ready-Holiday Bikini's

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day, I thought I would show you the bikini's I have bought and one that was sent to me for my holiday.

Image from Google and then I've edited it.

This polka dot bikini is from Matalan's and it's £5 for the top and £5 for the bottoms, I couldn't find the bottoms so I just looked for orange or blue bottoms to go with it and found these orange ones to go with them and it's summery colours, it's a bandeau bikini so you can wear it with or without the strap.

This bikini was sent to me by Sports Direct, here's a link to there Ladies Swimwear and they have a huge sale on at the minute, I decided on this purple bikini because it's my favourite colour and I like these type of bikini's and same as the last one it's a bandeau so you can wear it with straps or not. This bikini is by Goldigga, the top was £5.00 and bottoms £5.99 here's a link to the bikini if you want the same one.

This bikini is also from Matalan's and was £5 for the top and £5 for the bottoms, luckily there was both the top and bottoms. This is also a bandeau like the rest just so you can wear it with or without the straps, these type of bikini's are easier when your on holiday to not get tan lines from the straps. I like that is multi coloured and very vibrant so it will be nice for summer.


I think there's a sale on in Matalan's so you will be able to get bikini's for cheaper.

All of the bikini's are a reasonable price and really nice for summer.

Hope you liked this post and I've not done this type of post before.

Collective Haul

Hey Lovelies, sorry for not posting for the past few day, I've been busy with college work but I've almost finished all my work so when it's done I will be blogging more often.

I haven't done a haul in a while and I've been buying some things over the past few weeks and I thought I would show you, I always like reading hauls.

Fashion

I'll start off with the clothes I bought.

These two dresses were from New Look they were both in the sales and the floral dress was £12 and the other dress was £9, there both great prices, I love wearing dresses in the summer time and these are both perfect. If you know me I love floral type of dresses and I like these type of dresses that are shorter at the front and longer at the back these are better for me because I'm small and maxi dresses are too long for me.

This vest top was from Internacionale and was £12.99, it's quite see through and I love the pattern on the top. It's perfect for Spring/Summer time.

These are all from Primark, another dress told you I love dresses, I saw this dress on Kayleigh's- Couture Girls blog a while ago and she looked gorgeous wearing it and wanted it too, she has a great blog so go have a look, I went in a few Primark's in my area and they didn't seem to have them and then I found it and it was also on offer at £5 which is such a bargain for this dress. The top was £6 and is an aztec type print which I think is great and it has nice detailing on the back. The skirt was £8, it's very summery and I love bright colours for summer, it's a gorgeous orange.

Beauty

I had a £5 pounds to redeem on my Debenhams card and their was 10% off at the time so I didn't want to miss it. So I got MAC'S Woodwinked eyeshadow and Mac's Creme Cup lipstick, Woodwinked is a shimmery goldy brown shade and Creme Cup is a natural pink shade. The eyeshadows are usually £12 and lipsticks £14 but it cost me nearly £19 for both which I think is a great price for MAC.

I've wanted to try a Nars blush for ages but they are quite pricey but in the end I decided to get one, I have the shade Douceur it's browny pink. It cost £21.50 from ASOS.

 I got both of these from Boot's I was just looking at lipglosses I wanted to get a new one, I don't have that many and I've got back into wear lipgloss, I got the Rimmel London Stay Gloss in Non-Stop Glamour it's a pale pink with gold shimmer in, when I was at the tills in the clearance was this Maybelline New York eyeshadow in Chocolate Chic at £2, it's just a matte brown shade.

Have you bought anything recently let me know.

Jewellery Review

Hey Lovelies, sorry if your getting a bit bored of all the reviews that I have been doing recently but my next post will be haul.

My friend Jade her Grandma makes this jewellery and I just wanted to tell you about them because they are really cheap and you can get it to the style you want, just so you all know I paid for these bracelets and I'm just trying to help my friend out and these are my honest opinion.

This is just a normal Shamballa with black and white crystal beads, these bracelets are great for everyone because they are adjustable to fit everyone, you can ask what colour you want for the bracelet and they only cost £5 and then however much my friend will be charging for postage and I know Shamballa bracelets can be a lot more expensive than that.

Shamballa bracelets are very well known and in fashion and I thinks it great that you can get them at a reasonable price.

Most bracelets they do are Shamballa with different beads and colours.

This was the first bracelet I got and I love colourful bracelets so this was perfect, as you can see these are some of the colours you can get for your bracelet and this was also £5 so it's really inexpensive and you can ask what type of beads and colour you want so I think it makes it a bit more personal.

Here's some of the pictures I took of some of the other bracelets she has.

You can find her facebook site here, just get in contact with her if there's anything you want and she has lots of pictures of the different jewellery she has, the jewellery is mostly bracelets but there is necklaces, earrings and rings and if there's anything you want making just let them know and they will try to get it done for you.

The jewellery is from £1 to £7 so it's great value for money.

Hope you go take a look.
