That kind of luxe just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz.

OOTD #29

Hi everyone, I thought I'd share my outfit for a shopping trip on saturday, I'm loving tartan at the moment!

I'm so sorry for the lack of posts this week, I have been so busy with school and everything. 

Earrings- River Island 

Top- Primark

Jacket- ASOS

Bag- Matalan 

Watch- Olivia Burton 

Jeans- Primark

Converse- Office 

As soon as I saw this top in Primark, I knew it had to be mine! I actually wish it wasn't a crop top (weird I know!) but it means it's not very practical for winter, no one wants a frozen, middle, so I think I'll have to wear this with skirts in the future. Anyway back to the top! I love the colour combination of red green and purple, it's actually really festive :)

I decided to wear one of favourite nail polishes for this time of year, H&M's `Blue my mind` with an accent nail called `Ocean` from a brand called La Femme Beauty.

My trusty white high tops went perfectly this outfit, all  though they are definitely not very white anymore!

My watch was also, as always, on.

I love these earrings, they are just really dainty and not like any of my others. 

Please excuse my ghostly face and skin, it is at war with me at the moment. 

I'm not at school today, the teachers are striking, so it's great for me!  I'm just using today to catch up on things really :) 

What do you think of this outfit? What are you up to today? 

October Primark haul.

Hi everyone,

 last Saturday I went on a trip to primark to get a few things for autumn, I didn't actually see a massive amount that I liked, but they did have some things that I loved! 

First up are these tights which I bought for halloween to wear with this dress.

They're meant to be over the knee, but on me they ended up being just below, however I'm sure they'll still do the job, they were really cheap as well so I can't really complain! 

Another legwear oriented purchase were these socks; 

These are so cute and I already know how I want to wear them, hopefully I can "rock my keds and tube socks" ;)

I've finally got round to buying a new pair of black jeans, my zara ones have seriously faded!

These are in the Topshop `Joni` style and are so comfy.They were a snip at £10 as well, I need to get a few more pairs I think! 

This is one of my favourite purchases of late, I've been looking for a velvet skirt for a while and I finally found one!

The colour is so rich and for course it feels really luxurious being velvet. They also had this in a bottle green and navy so if red isn't your cup of tea I'm sure one of them would be! 

If you read this post, you would have realised that I have a lot of love for tartan at the moment, hence the next two tops. As this is a monochrome piece, it is going to go with so much, and also, it's got a collar! 

The other top I picked was this cropped one; I love the high neck and colours :) I've tried this on with the jeans and it looked so nice, so expect an OOTD soon! 

Finally, I bought some new earrings;

I've already worn these non stop and I love the stud design :) 

So that's what I bought in Primark!

What do you think of these items? What have you been buying lately? 

Don't forget to enter my giveaway!

Trend #1: Graphic.

Hello everyone :) I thought I would start a new feature here on the old blog, in the form of my favourite, current trends! 

Topshop leopard dress / Topshop Andy Warhol crop, / miss rebel daisy jumper, / Topshop denim skirt / H&M kitty flats,  / Make me chic heart glasses

Now I love a good graphic print, (see here, here and here!) and it looks like the highstreet does too. The secret seems to be bold colour and eye catching prints. Topshop have this down to a T, but H&M have some fab offerings; would you look at those Charlotte olympia-esque flats! This is such a fun, youthful trend, I think we all need a piece in our wardrobes :)

What do you think of this trend? Are you a fan of any of these items?

Be a cartoon heart.

OOTD #20

Aloha everyone! This is my twentieth outfit of the day! It seems like a forever ago that I posed really awkwardly and my sister clicked away, it was only in march  :) Also sorry for the annoying blur going on in these photos, its that blumin' sun's fault!

Earrings-Republic
Top-Primark
Pinafore- Primark
Converse- Office

I've been wanting to wear this crop top and pinafore combo for ages but I never got round to it until this weekend. However I did end up having to change because I was just boiling. On that note, how amazing has the weather been lately! I seriously hope it stays like this for the summer holidays *crosses fingers*
 Anyway, back to what I'm wearing, I'm hoping it doesn't look cheap because I'm wearing practically all Primark! Personally I think it looks really cute, I was definitely trying to channel my inner Ariana Grande! I love the pattern on this crop top and I think the long sleeves make it perfect for pairing with a pinafore, but because it is cropped you have a little bit for your side showing, rather than it being completely covered.

 I decided my faithful Essie Action would look fab with this so thats what I went for in the nail department;

For earrings, I picked my little unicorn/ pegasus ones :)

My not-so-white-anymore converse also feature! I think these look super cute with this outfit and keep it nice and casual. 

I decided to take my new lipstick for a spin (which I blogged about it here) and I think makes a great contrast with the light denim and monochrome going on! 

I for one cannot wait for it to be the holidays, blogging will be very high on the agenda I can tell you :) I went to Alton Towers (if you don't live in England, it's like a huge theme park) on Sunday and it was so fun! I'm not really one for rides but I went on the Smiler which is like the scariest ride there so I was very pleased with myself!

Don't forget to check out my giveaway! 

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?

Haul part two.

Hello my lovelies, it's time for the second part of my haul :) 

The one place I really wanted to visit on my most recent trip was (as ever) Topshop, I tried on a few sale items but they were all too big or just looked weird which was annoying because they had some really nice stuff , so I ended up just picking up two things, but I'm head over heels with what I did buy!

Now this first thing is pretty weird for me; I'm not a fan of leopard print at all, to me personally it just looks tacky, it's something I would never wear, but I seriously love this top!

Topshop strappy red leopard crop top- £10.00 

I think it's because it's not too leopardy, and I love the contrast between the black, white and red. It's a crop top, yes I know, another one, but  I can see myself wearing this all through the (all be it currently non existent) summer. This was only ten pounds as well which I consider brilliant for old Topper's! I must say this whole blogging thing is making me much more open to try things; neon, chains, leopard, what's next I wonder! 

The other thing I treated myself too in topshop was a new lipstick, which is not out of the ordinary at all :p 

Topshop lipstick in `Rio Rio`- £8.00

It looks much more pink in this photo than in person- sorry! 

I decided on the shade `Rio Rio` which I have been eyeing up for a while now. It's a really lovely read and not like any of the others I have in my collection; It's much more orange toned and bright than my other shades, so I love it, it's defo my new baby :). 

I also went to Lush to stock up on a few old favourites; This Yuzu & Coco bubbleroon was the first thing I ever bought from Lush, and I think it's probably the one I love the most!

Lush Yuzu & Coco Bubbleroon- £2.95

If you have never tried this then I urge you too! It smells amazing, I'm not really too sure how to describe it but it always reminds me of white chocolate and general yumminess!

I also decided on `Space girl`;

Lush Space girl bath bomb- £2.10

I love this bath bomb! It always reminds me of palma violets which is just fab :) I also adore the little pink bits of glitter, I mean what's better than a little bit of sparkle in the bath?

I bought these two things when I was in Wales (but I forgot to photograph them last time, doh!) so strictly speaking they shouldn't been in this haul, but I still wanted to show you them.
I bought this tanning mitt for obvious reason, I hope it does the job.

Primark fake tanning mitt- £2.00

I will be sure to report back as and when I use it, which I think will be this weekend as my legs are a pale embarrassment at the moment!

 I've never tried any false nails before, but I couldn't really say no to these considering they were only a pond in Primark, I have no doubt you'll see them in an OOTD soon :).

Primark false nails-£1.00

I'm not entirely sure about this next purchase; I sort of bought these on a whim in Republic and as I'm not one for drop earrings at all I'm not really sure how I feel about them!

Miso at Republic turquoise drop earrings- £3.00 

I do like them and I think with my hair down in a sort of wavy fashion they could look really nice peaking out, you will see how I get on with them if they appear in an outfit post I guess! These were only £3.00 in the sale so it's not like it's going to break the bank if I can't make them work, but I just thought it would be fun to experiment :).

Next and last stops for me was superdrug ( not Boot's I hear you cry, not this time, my bestie is doing her work experience in there, so I went to keep her company :p) I bought some more of my V05 heat protect spray as my current one has almost run out. I love the smell of this and it does a great job of protecting my hair and always leaves it feeling super smooth afterwards.

V05 heat protect spray-£3.69

The V05 range was on offer for two products for £5.00, so I decided to get a new hairspray, I'm not really a big hairspray gal, but I used some of my aunt's one of this last weekend and it left my hair so soft and obviously held my waves really well, so I thought it was time to buy some! 

V05 hairspray-£3.05

The last thing I picked up was the Sleek Contour kit;

Sleek Face contour kit- £6.49

I'm really sorry about the awful quality of this photo, for some reason I can NEVER get a good picture of  Sleek packaging! 

I have been wanting to try this little compact for the longest time, but whenever I went to superdrug it was always out of stock or I would have already spend all my money! However it is now part of my collection and I love it :)  don't want to go into too much detail on it because I'm thinking of doing a review of it so stay tuned for that!

So thats what I have been buying lately and I now have no money again, as per!
I have however started picking up bits for my 50 followers giveaway! I can't tell you now much 50 followers (or as it currently stands 51!) means to me so thank you :)

What do you think of my recent buys?
