Pattern clash alert featuring Barry M and Maybelline

Image
Finally after all the stress, late nights and the lack of sleep my first year of university is complete! YES! To say I'm relieved is an understatement but I still have to await my final grades to see if I've made it into my second year. Although after returning back home now for the summer it feels so strange, especially not being: woken up at different hours of the night from the noise, the fire alarm going off or people coming in from a night out. It's silent, pure bliss what anyone wants- but it is so surreal. Unfortunetly I wasn't able to pack everything into my three suitcases I brought home, they all contained clothes and jewellery, so my nail varnishes were left behind. Que me buying more- my addiction for nail varnishes gets worse and worse. Here are my latest nail varnish purchases:  Maybelline Color Show Polka Dots in Speckled Pink  Barry M Pink Sapphire Glitter  Barry M on the thumb and ring finger With patterns and neon being a big trend for ...

OOTW-Week 10- "I need your love, I need your time"

Image
It seems the sunshine is here to stay, finger crossed- with good weather comes the excitement of summer finally beginning. Although with two more big assignments left I'm not thinking about summer just yet otherwise I'll go off on a tangent and avoid the amount of work I still have left. With only a few days now till the end of first year it's clear that summer is just round the corner for me. But before that the uni work NEEDS to be done, so maybe I should switch off Hollyoaks and continue where I left off. Here are my favourite outfits of the week: Top Left : Black off the shoulder dress worn as a top from Asos , Cross necklace from Primark , Blazer from Primark , Distressed boyfriend jeans from Primark and Brogues from New Look . Top Right : Mickey mouse crop top from Topshop , Checked treggings from Topshop and Heels from River Island . Bottom Left: Laced collared dress from Topshop Bottom Right : Black midi dress from Boohoo , Denim jacket and trainer...

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 du...

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?
