I want to cry, I want to learn to love.

OOTD #19

Howdy!
It's time for another outfit of the day, I'm almost at twenty which is pretty cool :)
Sunglasses- Primark
Dress- H&M
Watch- Olivia Burton 
Bracelet- Topshop/DIY 
Sandals- Brantano 

I love this dress! I have worn it so much even though I've never shown it to you guys. It's perfect for hot weather and is just so pretty. Its mint, a skater style, has lace and a little sheer panel, so basically the best thing ever!


I painted my nails last night with my fave shade, Models own `Lemon meringue` :) 


I'm wearing my favourite sandals again! These are so comfy but also look really nice, I don't think I'll be wearing anything else on my feet if the weather stays like this! 


I think my watch does really nicely with said sandals, I just love tan leather! 


I also popped my little charm bracelet on, I'm trying to wear this a lot more because I really like it :) I thought the pink thread would go nicely with the mint as well. 


I'm wearing a new lipstick with this outfit because I'm becoming addicted  couldn't resist this Kate moss for Rimmel shade, well it was buy one get one half price ;)


I hope you're all having a fab day! Don't forget to enter my giveaway which is actually working now :)

We're not lost, we're just finding our own way in the world.

OOTD #18

Alright me lovers? Hope you're all well.
It was my Dad's birthday on Sunday, and we ended up just going for a really nice , relaxed picnic at a place called Wimpole, the weather was glorious and it was just a really lovely day :)

Earrings- Miss selfridge
Top- Topshop
Watch- Olivia Burton
Jeans- Republic
Anklet-DIY
Flats - Primark

If you read my last haul then you would have seen this top, I obviously couldn't wait to wear it! 

As I mentioned before, I'n not one for any kind of animal print, but I just love this little top! It's slightly cropped but with high waisted jeans its not really noticeable. It does have a lower neckline than I'm used to, but thats not really a problem for me! 

I decided to wear a pair of my Primark flats with this outfit because I thought the tan colour went really nicely with my top, and I love the little laser-cut details! 


I also found my favourite earrings! I lost one of these for ages but they have been reunited! 


My watch was also of course on :)


My makeup and was pretty standard today, but nonetheless just how I like it! 


I'll hopefully be picking up a few more bits for my giveaway soon, oh I can't wait! 

What do you think of my outfit?

Say you're sorry that face of an angel.

OOTD #17

Hello everyone! This is what I'm wearing today, wishing I was at Glastonbury but actually stuck at home writing a History essay. Boo.

Earrings- Accessorize
Hair bow- International
Top- H&M
Cami- New look
Skirt- Miss Selfridge 
Watch- Olivia Burton
Bracelets- DIY/Topshop
Sandals- Brantano

I love this top! I've been meaning to show it to you guys properly for a while now, so feast your eyes! It's such a pretty lilac and makes me feel so summery. Speaking of summer, where on earth is it! It's the end of June and I'm still having to layer up, today is the only day I've been comfortable enough (not dieing of cold) to not wear tights. So weather, sort yourself out please. Anyway! If I was going to Glasto, I think this little swing topnwould be perfect *sobs because it looks so amazing* 


I decided to wear my `biscuit` earrings (that's what one of my friends likes to call them anyway!) as I thought they look nice when I have my hair up, which takes me on to another accessory... 


My hair bow! Oh how I love this little clip, I think it just makes a simple messy bun a lot more interesting and so damn cute!

Sorry it's  wonky!

I also added these little bracelets to my ensemble; 


I made the rainbow one ages ago but I still love it, it just adds a bit of colour ya know? I also popped my little charmy bracelet on to keep with the festival vibel. 

I also had my watch on as ever :) 



I painted my nails last night with one of my favourite colours, it's one of the maybeillne colour show polishes in `Urban coral` and I blumin' love it! It looks really orange in these pictures but its much more pink, its so nice! *looks down and admires nails for a minute*


I thought I would whip out the old gladiator sandals for this look as well, I've had these for ages and I'm sure they will see me through another summer!

Of course I had to do my toes to match as well!

I hope your all having a lovely Saturday :) The other half of my haul will be up tomorrow so look out for that!

What do you think of my outfit? Are you as fed up with the weather as I am?

Half term haul.

Hi guys, I've got a little primark/ beauty haul for you today :) 


I went to Primark quite recently, so I just picked up a few bits , but I really like what I did buy :)

The first thing I spotted was this beyond cute pinafore! 

Denim pinafore- £12.00

I've been wanting to jump on the pinafore bandwagon for quite some time, so I was really pleased to find this gorgeous denim one for only £12! I literally can't wait to wear it, expect an OOTD soon :p I'm also loving everything denim at the moment; jeans, shorts, skirts, shirts... 

Neon pink jumper- £10.00


I popped this beauty into my basket after being drawn by the colour from across the room! I'm not even a huge neon fan, but I just love this jumper. It feels like really good quality, and I just thought it would be the perfect spring knit, and looks very similar to one I saw recently in topshop for about 4x the price as well!

Raglan skater dress- £8.00


I love this dress! One of my favourite sporty styles is raglan/ baseball tops, so this was a winner from the start, add a skater skirt into the mix and I'm sold! I think this will look lovely with converse and pop of colour on the lips :)


I also bought some more hair-bands, I would love to know where all mine end up!

Laser cut slipper pumps- £8.00

I bought these little tan slipper-pumps because I've been looking for something like this for quite a while. I can imagine this will look lovely with a cream sleeveless shirt, blue jeans and a tan! I love the laser cut detail, as it just makes them a bit more interesting. Don't you think these look more Zara than Primark? I would have paid Zara prices as well!

If you read my post yesterday, you will know that I ended up buying a few beauty bits then, so here they are!


I've wanted this sleek blush in `pixie pink` for quite some time, and I've finally got my mitts on it :) To me its the perfect dolly pink colour, it looks a bit scary in the pan, but it applies like a dream and looks gorgeous on.

Sleek `Pixie pink` blush- £4.95

Yours truly wear `pixie pink` for just a subtle flush of colour.
I then headed over to the maybelline counter, trying to find a dupe for Essie's `Fiji`. I ended up buying `nebline` from the color show range, which I think is actually a little pinker than Fiji when on the actual nails , but it's a lovely shade nonetheless!
Maybelline color show nail polish in `Nebline`- £2.99


 I also decided to purchase `mint for life`, which is now on my toes! Its a gorgeous creamy mint which looks so nice with a tan :) 
Maybelline Super stay nail polish in `Mint for life` -£4.09



I've been really impressed by the quality of these polished and I'll definitely be buying more  in the future!

So thats what I've bought this half term! What have you been buying lately?

May favourites.

Hello dolls, seen as I'm being super efficient on the blogging front, a post everyday this week so far i'll have you know ;) I thought I would share my May favourites before this month even over. Now thats dedication for you. 



-Palmers gradual tanning moisturiser-

 I bought this at the start of the month, after feeling ashamed of my pasty body! This is the only gradual tanner I have ever tried, so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but I really like it. It smells divine at first, (just like all palmers products; chocolate!) however it does develop that horrendous old-biscuit-fake-tan smell. I would say its pretty speedy for a `gradual` tan, however thats fine for me because it means I don't need to reapply to frequently in order to really see the effects. The first time I used it the result was a bit patchy, but like everything, practice makes perfect!


-Mac Fix+-

I bought this in April and I have been using it almost everyday after setting my foundation with powder (Rimmel stay matte to be precise,) and it has done exactly what was promised; adds radiance, finishes make up. I have really loved setting my make up with this, because if it is feeling heavy, it fixes it (excuse the pun) straight away. To be honest probably isn't worth the £13.50 price tag, but I can see it being a lifesaver in the summer.

-Maybelline color show nail polish :`urban coral`-


I purchased this beaut at the same time as the tan, because I was just drawn to the brightness of the colour! I'm not sure if this range is new, i've certainly never noticed it if it's not, but I have to say I am really impressed by the colour range, and have since bought another (I will show you that later on in the week!) and the price, only £2.99! The consistency of these polishes is wonderful as well. I can't really comment on the wear time, because I usually change the colour before it gets a  chance to chip.The only thing I can fault this polish on is the spelling of colour, so American!

-No7 fanomenal lashes-



I love this mascara! It's really good if, like me, you don't like clumpy lashes, this definitely gives a more fluttery finish, which perfectly complements my eyeliner flicks!

 -Vera Wang Lovestruck floral rush perfume-


I don't know why I didn't include this in my April favourites, because I have been loving it since the day I got it! This to me is the perfect summer perfume, not too sickly sweet whilst still being very feminine. I also love the bottle, it looks so pretty sat with all my other perfumes :)

So thats what I've been loving this month! what's been in your favourites?
