1. Ooft I flippin' love these! I like the fact that they have the gold around the toe and heel and the cut out sides. I think they are really cool and would add edge to an outfit without being to masculine! I'm in love!

2. I think this is a pretty style, it would make a nice style to take from day to night. With some curls left to frame the face this is a gorgeous look!

3. CRONUTS. Croissant dough cooked like donuts. They look amazing! Apparently they queue for hours in NYC to get these bad boys, I want to see what all the fuss is about!

4. Aha such a funny quote! I think I find it so funny because I totally agree with her! If I found a little blue box and it was a key chain when I was expecting an engagement ring I would flip! Who's with me!?

5. Love this look! Sophisticated but glamorous! Gorgeous!

The 90's Tag!

Hey everyone! 

So today I thought I'd do my first tag on here! I thought the 90's tag would be a bit of fun! I originally saw this on Zoe's (Zoella) channel with Tanya Burr, so thanks girlies!

Lets get started!

1. Favourite Disney Film?

Definitely Beauty and the Beast. If I could be Belle I would! I adore her iconic dress but even more so her red velvet coat with white fur trim, oh lord I do love that outfit! I love every song (and probably know every word of each!) and I would watch it daily if I had the time! I also own a Belle doll that comes with me to and from Uni each term! I love her very much and what makes it worse is I got her not that many Christmases ago because we bought one for my little cousin and I loved her so much I had to have one too! *realises she should probably end the essay on Beauty and the Beast* Moving on!

2. Favourite Music Artist?

Spice Girls. I was a super fan! There is a family video somewhere of me dancing round the Grandparents kitchen singing STOP! I knew know the whole routine and still crack it out at parties to this day!

3. Favourite Candy/Sweeties?

I don’t know if I have a favourite! I loved dip dabs and fruit salads! I was also partial to a chewit or two, but I remember I got a packet as a well done after a Ballet exam and in the car on the way home I chewed one and my tooth came out! Don’t know that I’ve had one since then! haha

4. Favourite Game (Board Game, School Game etc)

I loved Frustration! I think I had a lot to do with way you rolled the dice, popping the middle section, what a good invention!

5. Favourite McDonalds Happy Meal Toy?

Most definitely the mini Beanie Babies! I had a massive collection of normal beanie babies and the mini made a lovely addition! You don’t get such great toys in Happy Meals any more, I do feel sorry for today’s children!

6. Favourite Book?

The Glitter Girls series, that was mini chick lit at its best! They organised sleep overs and schools discos and things and I so wanted to be in their group!

7. Favourite Clothing Store?

Tammy was great, their shops looked so cool, but then they went into BHS and the appeal decreased. I think New Look too, but I’m sure I just went wherever my Mum took me!

8. Favourite NickJnr Show?

OK, so an American question. I’m going to change it to Favourite CBBC show! I loved Tracy Beaker, anything that had real people in to be honest, I have never been a fan of cartoons!

9. What would you watch when you got home from school?

Umm I went to after school clubs and things a lot but Art Attack was a good choice. I also remember ‘My Parents are Aliens’ was on at around that time of the day!

Hope you all enjoyed that! It was fun reminiscing about my childhood! How many of you are 90's kids?! If any of you fancy having a go at this then link you version in the comments! I love to see your responses!

Pins of the week #1!

Well hello again everyone!

Today I want to start a new little series on here. Pins of the week!

I am completely obsessed with Pinterest! I could just spend hours soaking up everything it has to offer. I thought it would be nice if I shared my top 5 pins this week, my 5 favourite things I've have pinned this week!

http://www.pinterest.com/pin/468655904943955415/

1. I am stuck in a bit of a hair rut at the moment and I am trying endlessly to find something I like the look of. I'd like to go a a caramel brown colour but not blonde. Argh I don't honestly know but I do love her hair (and her outfit!)

2. Ooh cheeky! ;) I just loved this quote! Totally agree!

3. I just adore this kitchen! Love the colours and cute accessories! I fantasise far too much about what my house will eventually look like! Anyone else have a home obession?!

4. Well would you just look at these! I am definitely getting into the Christmas spirit and when I saw these a melted (see what I did there?!) I will most definitely be making these bad boys when December rears it pretty little head!

5. I love this little bit of photography as well as the actual shoes! I need a pair of mint green Converse in my life! Who doesn't?!

So there you have it! Just a little of what I've been loving this week! You can find the rest of my pins here!

Maybelline Baby Skin!

Hey guys!

Hope everyone is well. I am hating this miserable English weather, it's 3.52pm and I am in bed under my duvet trying to forget about the grey skies outside! So in an attempt to cheer up this dreary day I have been doing to beauty investigations and looking at the new releases for autumn.

I came across this lovely...

So I really love the baby lips from Maybelline so when I saw this I was suitably excited. 

This new addition to the 'baby' range promises to prime the skin and fill in enlraged pores etc etc. I do suffer from increasingly large pores, particularly around my nose and I am always looking for something to help! I currently am using the Benefit Porefessional and its OK but I probably wont repuchase after it runs out. If this does the same job then it will be a welcome addition to my collection as presumably it will be cheaper the Benefit's offering!

Its currently out in Asia and your guess is as good as mine as to its release in the UK but I will be sure to update this post as soon as a release date is announced!

Whats your initial thoughts on this? Will you be rushing to buy it on its release day? Let me know down below!

Stila 'In The Light' Palette

Hello Everyone! 

I'm back into proper blogging mode and I am going to start with the loveliest palette ever! 

Stila 'In the Light'.

Apologies for the slightly rubbish swatches but you get the gist!

I seriously love this palette. Every colour is super wearable and you only need one palette to create a multitude of different looks! My most worn shades are 'Sin' (The champagne shade in the top left of the palette) and 'Sunset' (also on the top row, the bronze shade). Together the make a lovely shimmery every day look. I also love 'Bubbly' (first on the left on the bottom row) as an inner corner highlight! With the addition of a Black (Ebony) it means you can create a subtle smokey eye with black power liner for a softer look.

The addition of the smudge stick in damsel, a chocolate brown, is a lovely extra. I love this for a more defined everyday look and use it on my waterline and lash line depending on the look I want to achieve.

This palette is SO versatile! I have used every shade at one time or another and love each and every one! 

At only £25 I think this is such a bargain, the shadows are buttery and pigmented and I love them!

Watch out for a post coming soon about my first MAC quad! I am excited to finally own some MAC shadows but they are going to have to do a lot to stand up to these bad boys!

Have you tried this palette or any other Stila products? I'd love to know down below! Also, would anyone like to see some shots of these shadows in action, I think I might do a eye shadow look book type post showing just how versatile these are!

A little catch up...

Hello Everyone! I really hope you are all well!

So, it's been almost 2 months since my last post *slaps wrist*. I feel a little out of practice so I thought I'd just ease myself back in today with a little catch up and explain to you all why things have been so quiet!

Firstly, my laptop broke. Its all been very annoying and stressful. I had had this laptop for a year now, I bought it to start uni with. It has broken twice in this time, both times it being the motherboard at fault. What a great piece of machinery it is! I don't want this post to become a moany one but if anyone who works for Currys PC world is reading this, I was deeply unimpressed by your service. I know that it was sent to HP for repair and they are probably more at fault than anyone else but the customer service I received was anything but good. Really I'd like to be able to buy another, or ideally be given one for all this inconvenience, but a student budget just doesn't stretch that far. Lets all cross our fingers for no further problems!

Other than the obvious problem of no resource to be able to blog from! I also lost a lot of the photos I had ready and edited to go into posts and so this has slowed me further!

In other news I did go on holiday to Portugal and had a lovely time chilling in the sun! 

 A Beautiful View!

Me and the sister.

I have previously mentioned that I started a new job which I am LOVING! It has really motivated me as it has confirmed I really want to go into teaching after uni and it has given me even more of a goal to aim for!

Have you noticed a new look here too?! I'm really pleased with the new design and I feel ready to get back into blogging with a lovely new design and lots of posts ready to go!

What have all of you been up to over the summer? I want to here all about it! I really look forward to creating a lovely community here and want it to be a place of conversation! Do let me know what you'd like to see here too!
