With the sun shining, this month is getting better by the day. The endless shopping trips that are killing my overdraft, the drives to the seaside and my best friends 21st is stopping me from the reality of the endless uni work I have to do.

Digging the dungarees!

The sunshine is here! Finally the weather is starting to slowly get better and I'm so excited. Summer is about the sunshine, BBQ's, being with friends and of course the copious amounts of alcohol and beer garden sessions. Though with summer must come your new summer wardrobe, que dungarees. As a child everyone used to own a pair of dungarees but with the 90's being one of the key trends for this Spring/Summer, be sure to have your pair! Whether short or long you decide, here are a few of my favourites: Nilda short denim dungarees £26.99 Miss Guided   Hillary lightweight dungarees in candy pink £19.99 Miss Guided      Light acid wash short denim dungarees £35 River Island   Black smart dungarees £40 River Island   MOTO Clean denim pini dress £36 Topshop A twist on the typical dungarees, big for this Summer. Paisley dungaree playsuit £42 Topshop With a variety of different: prints, textures,lengths and styles there is a dungaree for any oc

Topshop sale items; I'm sorry overdraft

Image
So it's come to that time of year when the end of season sales have started to appear, and this is the time my overdraft takes a beating. I didn't even realise that the Topshop sale started yesterday, but with delight when I strolled into the store I saw what to me was heaven, though to my bank card was pure sin. I started to pile items upon items onto my arms till I slowly started to refrain myself and only buy the items I liked the most or I had been wanting for a while. Here was my outcome:  Mickey Mouse Crop Top- £10 Patterned Denim Shorts-£25  Purple Velvet Dungarees-£25  Blue Dress £10 Grey Dress with Black Lace Collar -£18 The dress I've been wanting for ages! I've brought some nice things for the summer and items that can be worn for both day and night. I didn't do as bad as I first thought, but there are so many other items I wish I had purchased. Maybe I'll have to pop back... What do you think to the sale?

Home is where my heart remains; my 21st

After counting down from September the moment finally came for my 21st birthday! I was annoying everyone with me telling them day after day how many days and hours was left till the big day, but when the day finally came I couldn't of asked for a more perfect day.The boyfriend came round at half 11 as he wanted to be there when it was finally my birthday-soppy but very cute. Then the rest of the morning was spent with my mum as she FINALLY had a whole day off, so it was nice to have a catch up. Later at night I went for a meal at Toros, which is a steak house in Rothwell which is absolutley beautiful. I especially recommend the Strawberry wine! I went with my closest friends and family and was surprised at the end with a homemade Chanel handbag birthday cake which was delicious. I was then whisked back to town where I was ushered downstairs to see my friend had organised a suprise birthday party with a few of my favourite people, cue me walking in when One Direction was playing-

After one of my best weekends at home it was time to do the tedious long journey back to Southampton. I celebrated my 21st birthday on the Friday and my hangover is still lingering over me- I have my friends and family to thank for this with them buying me a dirty pint. I wanted to wear something comfortable for the journey but also try some of my new clothes out. Oversized Baseball Top- Topshop Spiked Necklace- Primark Blazer- Primark Leggings- Topshop Coloured Metallic Socks- Urban Outfitters All Star Trainers- Converse I love this Topshop top, its so versatile and can be worn with absolutely anything day or night! They now do it in black as well, I may have to purchase it.

Oh if you could see me now..

This is a totally different post to what you would expect from me, this is something more personal to me. Everyone has that one song that is really personal to them and has a special meaning. Music is a way for people to escape from their own problems into their own little worlds, although you can use music as a way for you to relate a song to an issue. I've been in love with The Script now for years and I love the fact I can now have a weekly fix of Danny O'Donaghue on The Voice. "If you could see me now" is their latest single and I've totally fell in love with it, there's something so special about this song that really does touch me. It reminds me so much of me and my family and in a sense it gives me that sense of strive to make them so proud. I'm really close to my mum, sister and brother, they are my main inspirations and heroes in life. I've never met my dad before, neither do I know much about him either, of course I'm cur

Stiletto Nails

Image
If your a regular follower of my blog you know that I completely LOVE nails and anything to go with them; nail varnishes, acrylic nails or nail art to name but a few. Since coming home from university I finally got my nails done after 3 months without acrylic nails, it feels good to have some decent sized nails that I can try out different ideas on. But of course I love how elegant and nice they make your hands look, it may sound strange but I always think my fingers are slightly bent and having my nails done makes them seem straighter.. weird I know. When I first got my nails done they were done in the Stiletto style, which has been made famous by the likes of Rihanna and Lady Gaga. At first I was a bit scared yet excited when I had them done as they looked amazing, though they were slightly sharp, also I was worried to how I would adapt to them as it was as though I would scratch anything I came in contact with. After a few days I filed them so they werent as sharp and I found

Easter Bank Holiday Weekend

Image
Just a little bit too late, but I hope everyone had a lovely and relaxing bank hoiday weekend! I'm sorry if you pulled the short straw and had to work, I feel your pain. I can't remember the last bank holiday I had off, but with having a night club job I'm always free to do what I want in the days and then just busier later at night, however the late nights turn into you sleeping the day away and wasting your bank holiday weekend. Well that's what I did, after getting ridiculously drunk last thursday- it was my only chance to go out and celebrate of course- the days have seemed to murge into one. I do love my job I work in a good team and one of the best nightclubs in town- the atmosphere is always electric! Although with easter bank holiday comes the whole dressing up perlarva, however I agreed to dress up, but in a classy way. This is Vicky, Becci and myself bank holiday sunday ready for work. Becci did our makeup and our teeth on our bottom lip looked so realist

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara

Image
They say your eyes are the window into your soul and that they're one of the key interesting features on a face. I love eyes and the uniqueness of one persons to another, whether it's a different colour or shape. I always, without fail wear mascara as I feel naked without it, although it doesn't help that I have blonde eyelashes either! Normally I use about 5 mascaras to get volume thick lashes, but I wanted to be able to narrow it down to one or two, as it is quite expensive. I came across Rimmel's 'Lash Accelerator Endless' mascara and with the price tag of £7.99 in Superdrug it seemed like a bargain.  My eye before applying any mascara    After one coat   The final result I love the simplism of this mascara, how it merely takes two coats to get this effortless look. It didn't go all gloopy or come out to thickly either, it had a thin layer of mascara on the applicator to ensure you lashes were evenly separated and coated. I de
