Boohoo Wishlist

Hi lovelies

Hope you're all well. So as its only a week until pay day I find myself more and more online shopping or rather browsing haha. 

Lately I've been loving Boohoo's collection and I've made a Wishlist that I thought I would share with you. As you know I'm currently trying to lose weight and become healthier which I think is key no crash diets or anything happening (I'll update you on Wednesday!) So I don't know whether to buy them once I have been paid or wait a while as I want them to still fit after like a month or so!

So here are my top 4 (random right I should have just done 5 haha) Boohoo picks :)

I love this dress and I love the bell sleeves  on it- gives it a nice 70's vibe. It also comes in white and rust. I think I would personally get it in the rust colour.

Another dress with interesting sleeves. That again is the reason why I like this dress and I love the pattern- which is unlike me as I'm normally all in black haha!

Omg these shorts- amazing! I love the lace detailing and I think these would be perfect to dress up or dress down. They also look really comfy.

Last but not least this t-shirt dress. I think these are perfect for every day wear and easy to throw on and still look nice. I also like the fact it has drop arm holes (is that what it's called haha) it's just a nice little detail! Again this comes in more colours but I probably would get in black- surprise surprise!

So these are my top 4 picks from Boohoo at the moment. Let me know what you're loving from Boohoo and if you like any of my picks :).

Primark Haul- June 2015

Hi lovelies,

Sorry it's been a quiet week blogging, I got back from glamping yesterday so haven't had a chance to post anything but seeing as I had a day off today, I thought it was the perfect opportunity! 

So I've been loving Primark lately and yet again, couldn't resist a few bargain buys! Has anyone else been loving Primark lately? I think their jewellery collection is amazing at the minute! Also, as I have joined a new gym I did treat myself to a couple of 'gym appropriate' products haha. I've seen so many reviews on their sportswear collection so I was a bit let down when I went into my local Primark and there wasn't much left and everything they did have that I liked wasn't in my size :( first world problems! I will just have to be quicker next time they release new sportswear as they did launch the new collection ages ago, so my own fault really!

So anyways here is what I bought this month....

I'm loving tops like this as the warmer weather starts and I absolutely love the colour of this one. This was such a bargain at £8 and is so comfy on.

I love jumpsuits for days when you just want to be comfy so I'm always looking out for other ones to add to my little collection. I really like how this one is cropped as I don't have any like that so when we have some hot days (hopefully soon) this will be perfect to wear. It's got a lovely pattern on, has an elasticated waist so gives you a nice silhouette and is super stretchy which makes it soooo comfy! This was a bargain at only £8 too!

Like I said I'm loving Primark's jewellery especially the chokers they have in. Out of silver and gold I'm definitely more a silver sort of girl so when I saw this and for only £5 I thought I would treat myself!

Yes another necklace- I definitely don't need anymore for a good while! Although I have just said that I prefer silver, when I seen this necklace I had to have it! For some strange reason I'm loving pineapples at the minute and so does everyone else seem to be, they're everywhere! For only £4 I thought this little beauty would add a fun element to any outfit.

Shoes are normally my thing that I love to buy and I probably have too many but I can't resist them! I haven't actually bought any sandals this year, well that's a lie I did buy a pair but they don't fit so that doesn't count haha. It's crazy but I've never had a tan pair of sandals!!! So when I saw these for only £12 I thought I should add them to my collection. I'm loving the fact they tie up and I can't wait to wear these out!

This was an impulse buy as I was waiting in the queue. I needed a water bottle for the gym and this does the trick! It did have one of those stick things in it that you can freeze to keep your water cold but I just took that out. Not much to say about this really.

I bought these sports socks for two reasons. First, because all of the socks I own at the minute I can only find one of, so I'm having to mix and match haha! And secondly because both of these packs have a cushion sole so I thought because I'm training for the Race for Life I'm doing a lot of running so I thought these would be good for that. In the first pack you do also get a grey pair which I have already worn and I would definitely recommend these- very comfy! Both packs cost £2 each- slightly weird seeing as 1 has 2 pairs and the other has 3 pairs in but whatever!

 

Finally I though this was a good buy as it's meant to be made out of the quick dry material and seeing as I sweat a LOT when I'm at the gym/out running I thought this would come in handy. I hope it works but for £5 you can't complain! 

So that was everything I got this month and I should probably stay away from Primark for a little while haha! 

Hope you've enjoyed this little post and I'll be back tomorrow with another one- promise!

What I got for my birthday 2015

Hi lovelies

Hope you're all well. Sorry I didn't post last week just had a lot of stuff going on and at the beginning of the week it was my birthday!

Now that I'm officially 23 everytime I think about it all I think about is Blink 182's song 'What's my age again?' and the bit where the lyrics are 'nobody likes you when you're 23' haha. Makes me quite sad actually... I'm getting old!!!! 

Anyways one of the great things about your birthday is the pressies you get! So I thought I would show you some of the things that I got for my birthday. Now before I do, I just want to say I'm not doing this post to show off or brag about what I got, I know some people like posts like these and I know I do because I'm a little bit nosey!!! So here's what I got.....

H&M Bucket Bag

I asked my mam and dad for this because I needed a new bag (well needed might be a bit extreme haha!) It's just such a lovely shape and I like how you close it with a tie. I got this nude peachy colour as I always get black bags and just fancied something a little different.

Necklace 

Sorry I have no idea where this is from and I think it's a bit rude to ask! My brother got me this because he knows that I love me a statement necklace. This is beautiful and it's that nice gold that doesn't look cheap or brassy if that makes sense!

Jayda Ethic Necklace by Smashglam

I got this off my lovely boyfriend, I have to say I did ask for this. I had seen it on fellow blogger Sophie Hannah Richardson and I fell in love with the necklace. It's by an online company called Smashglam and all of their pieces are beautiful, I want them all haha! I would definitely recommend you checking them out though! I'll link their website here! 

MAC Amber x9 Palette

Another one from my boyfriend and yes I did give him a little hint about this palette! Since I have blue eyes I tend to wear a lot of ambers/coppers/orange eyeshadows to try and make them stand out a bit so when I saw this palette I thought it would be perfect! I am going to do a review on this palette either this week or next week, so keep an eye out for that but so far I'm loving it! 

Jimmy Choo Exotic Perfume

I've never had this Jimmy Choo perfume before only Flash but it smells lovely. It's very florally so if you like that in a perfume you should give it a try and I love the packaging- some things never change haha! 

Champneys Citrus Blush Mini Treatment Collection

I love this brand so when I opened this I was so excited! So in this you get the body scrub , shower gel, body lotion and a body polisher (that's what they call it I don't know if that's the actual name of those things I don't know what they're called haaha big sponge type thing :))! I can't wait to use this!

Benefit Do the Bright Thing

So as you can probably guess by the name this kit includes things that will give you brighter, glowy skin. I used to be all about that matte life but I have to say I am starting to like a little bit of dewyness, dunno what's got into me! So this is perfect for helping me achieve that effect. In this you get the That Gal Primer, High Beam, Dandelion blush and a little brush (it's so cute), a mini They're Real mascara and a mini Bad Gal eyeliner. I love Benefit's products, or at least the ones I have tried anyways, and I can't wait to try these! I will be doing a review on this too but I haven't tried it yet as I don't want to waste the products on just a normal boring day, does anyone else think like that about things?!

So I did get a few other bits and bobs like chocolate and wine but these were the main things. I'm very lucky to have such lovely family and friends that spoilt me and I had a lovely day with them.

I will be back this week so make sure you come back! I'll talk to you soon!

Primark Haul- May 2015

Hi everyone,

So I was a bit naughty yesterday and did a little bit of shopping even though I'm meant to be saving money! However, Primark is really affordable and have some great bargains so I couldn't resist and I didn't actually spend that much! 

Most of the things I picked up are for my holiday and although I already have more than enough it's always nice to have a few new bits.

So here is what I got :)

Palm Springs Swimsuit £10

I've never wore a swimsuit on holiday before I normally wear bikinis but I loved the colour of this one and the low back is lovely.

Blue Frill Swimsuit £13

I really liked the colour of this one, I feel that blue suits my skin tone and this one also has tummy control so if I'm feeling bloated one day I can still feel great in this. 

Black Bikini- Top £6 Bottom £5

I couldn't resist this one! I love anything with cut out detail and 'caged' detail. I had seen similar ones to this and has to get it- such a bargain for the price too! The bottoms are slightly high waisted, they come up to just under the belly button.

Playsuit £5

I picked this up as I think it will be a good cover up while on holiday, if I'm going to the beach or for a drink during the day can just though this on and for £5 you can't say no!

White Off The Shoulder Top £5

I'm really loving the 70's trend and wanted to investment in a nice off the shoulder top. They had this in a lot of different colours but I preferred the white one. I really love the detail on the sleeves and on the bottom of the top.

Choker £5

This is absolutely amazing! I love chokers and this is so beautiful and a bit different to all of the other chokers out there at the minute. Cannot wait to wear this with the white top I bought!

I did also pick up a black maxi dress for £7 but didn't take a picture as it's just a jersey black dress with spaghetti straps- I'm sure everyone can visualise that :)!

I love going into Primark and just picking up random bits and bobs. All of this came to just over £50 which I think is really reasonable! They really do have some lovely summer things so would recommend popping in and having a look.

Much love,

BLOGMAS Day 23 Blogger Love December

Hi everyone,

Hope your all excited for Christmas seeing as it's Christmas Eve's Eve! I am so excited I love this time of year!

So I saw this post on Ellen Atlanta's blog and I really liked the idea of sharing the blogger's you've been loving each month. 

I think it's great to show the blogs you've been loving as its a great way for others to find new blogs and I think it shows your support for others doing the same thing as yourself. Seeing as I thought her post idea was amazing I thought I would copy and start this monthly post too, I hope she doesn't mind!

I'm not going to put a number on this and say each month I'll tell you my favourite 5 or 10 bloggers that month, it will probably differ the number of blogs I talk about, if that makes sense :).

Ellen Atlanta

I really love Ellen's style and her photos on her blog always look amazing!

Sophie Hannah Richardson

I love Sophie's individual style and her hair is amazing! Sophie also has a YouTube channel as well as her blog.

Jamie Genevieve

Jamie is my make up inspiration at the moment, her make up always looks incredible. Like Sophie she has a YouTube channel too.  

Love Laugh and Makeup

I have to say Sabrina's hair is amazing and she too has a YouTube channel. Her blog is beauty related which I love and she always has interesting posts on there.

Hope you've enjoyed this post and I would definitely recommend checking these bloggers out :).

Merry Christmas,

BLOGMAS Day 14 Floppy Hat Style

Hi everyone,

Eeeee not long until Christmas now!!! I'm so excited and I'm loving doing Blogmad, not going to lie it is hard making the time to blog every day but I am loving it! 

So I've wanted a floppy hat for so long and today I finally got one. I never know if  hats suit me or not. I love this hat but I don't know if I suit it or not but I thought I would share it with you anyway :).

This hat was £28 from Topshop and its so big and feels quite good quality so I do think it's worth the price. 

I think I'm going to try out more hats and next I think a beanie or bobble hat as my head and ears get really cold on these winter mornings! Let me know if you like this hat and if you like floppy hats too :).

Merry Christmas,

BLOGMAS Day 11 My Top 5 Youtubers

Hi everyone,

So today has been my day off and I've had a really lazy day! My favourite thing to do on my days off is too catch up with all of the videos on YouTube from people I have subscribed to. I love YouTube and think it's such a great outlet for people to talk and interact with people around the world who have the same interests as they do. 

I've wanted to do YouTube for a while now but I'm still deciding whether to or not as I know I would enjoy doing it but I know there are negatives that go alongside it, like most things really such as hate comments etc. Anyways I'm rambling now and going off topic haha so I thought today I would share with you my top 5 favourite Youtubers. I am subscribed to a lot more but these are my ultimate favourites :)! They are not in a particular order haha!

1) Beautycrush

Sam is a UK YouTuber and she has videos on all sorts of things mainly beauty and fashion though. I like her because she seems very down to earth and really nice and friendly :).

2) InTheFROW

Victoria is another UK YouTuber and she mainly does fashion and beauty videos. I love how she styles thing and I also love her purple hair it's amazing.

3) Shaaanxo

Shannon is a YouTuber from New Zealand and I have to say if I had to pick a favourite it would probably be her. I love all her videos not only does she introduce lots of new products she also tells her viewers about her tricks and tips for putting on makeup. She does a range of videos such as hauls, first impressions and reviews.

4) Grav3yardgirl

Bunny is an American YouTuber and I think she's hilarious. I always watch her if I need cheering up. She's so funny and entertaining and down to earth. I would recommend her channel to anyone who likes to watch a variety of videos.

5) Batalash Beauty

Sam is a Canadian YouTuber  and her channel is a beauty channel and she comes up with some amazing looks along with different members of Batalash. I love Sam's attitude to YouTube and I like how she just says and does what she wants and is truly herself. I would recommend her second channel too, Chatalash!

So those are my top 5 Youtubers! I'm sure you've probably heard of some of them. Let me know who your favourite Youtubers are and if any of my favourite are yours :)!

Also if you have any tips for starting up on Youtube let me know in the comments below, as that might help me make my mind up! 

Much love,
