OUFTIT POST: MONOCHROME TROUSERS


Trousers : George at Asda*
Jacket: F&F at Tesco
Vest : Primark 
Bag: New Look
Sandals: Primark
Necklace: Charmed Ivy

I've been after a pair of trousers for awhile so it was kinda spooky when these came in the post last week. They are just what i've been looking for,  I wanted a nice smart/ casual pair of trousers that are comfy and easy to wear. 
They are a nice stretchy material and they are quite thick. They have a nice textured feel to them and the pattern is really nice and modern.
They are part of the Limoncello range from George and they look fab with a bright yellow cami or top. I decided to pop on a black vest and my favourite bright pink jacket today. 
I think it works really well and would be perfect for a day out shopping or at the office or if you were going out for dinner, such a great day to night outfit. 


You can buy the trousers here for just £14 and check out the rest of the Limoncello range here

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE: QUIRKY GIFTS

MACAROON ERASERS: SMIGGLE* // BATH PUG PLUG- TESCO* // NUTELLA: SELFRIDGES // SLIPPER SOCKS- PRIMARK // MEOW PURSE: ALPHABET BAGS 

I thought i'd put together some quirky gift ideas. My gift guides have been predominantly beauty based so I thought i'd show you some different gift ideas, First of all these should be on the top of any bloggers christmas list, MACAROON ERASERS! These are available from Smiggle for £4! which is such a bargain! They are so cute, such a lovely stocking filler. Next is the Pug Bath Plug, this retails at £5 again such a bargain. Everyone has gone crazy about pugs recently so this would be a great gift for a pug lover. There's a girl at work who adores pugs so this is going to be a perfect gift for her! I know i know the Nutella again, its just such a fab idea! I picked myself this amypyt one, i've also got my little sister one. She loves Nutella so whats better than a jar of Nutella with your name on ! Socks! Everyone loves socks! You can't really go wrong with socks. Clint bought me these really cute penguin ones from Primark. The Meow much? Alphabet purse is sooo cute! I love absolutely everything off the Alphabet Bags website. They have the most cutest make up pouches and purses. 


CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE FOR HIM

HARD DRIVE: SAMSUNG* // RITUALS SHOWER GEL* // RITUALS  MOISTURISER* // PACO RABANNE 1 MILLION AFTERSHAVE // CHAMPNEYS SPORTS THERAPY GIFTSET* // THE BLUEBEARDS REVENGE AFTERSHAVE* // PHILLIPS WET OR DRY SHAVER //DESKTOP POOL - TESCO*

Here's the latest post in my festive series, it's the gift guide for men. I think men are tricky to buy for so I thought i'd put together a few gift ideas. First up, I thought i'd include this Samsung hardrive, my dad has a hard drive already but it's really hold and doesn't have that much memory, this Samsung one has 1tb of storage and its really lightweight and portable. Next up, who doesn't love some luxurious bath and shower products, this Rituals shower gel smells amazing, it's designed to cool the skin so it's great for men who need a cool down after work or a session at the gym. Another Rituals product is this moisturiser, I always get my dad a moisturiser as it's something he wouldn't bother buying himself. It adds hydration to the skin and lasts up to 24 hours, its lightweight so soaks in really fast. My dad has asked for a bottle of Paco Rabanne 1 million aftershave this year, it's very rare that my dad will specifically ask for something, I picked this up over the Black Friday weekend, it was a bargain at £36 for the 100ml bottle. The Champneys sports therapy is a lovely giftset to give this christmas, Again the products are ideal for men who don't buy themselves skincare products. Inside theres a facewash and a moisturiser. I got my dad this Phillips wet or dry shaver earlier in the year, it might actually have been last christmas. It was on offer, I think it was like half price! I think every dad or husband needs a shaver. They are so easy to use and so quick, great for when men just want a quick fix. A fun little gift for any mans stocking is this desktop pool game, it's a fun addition to the office/ workplace. It's only a fiver so you could even get it for a secret santa gift or just as a little extra gift for someone. 

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE 2014 - FOR THE KIDS


This is the first post in my Christmas gift guide series, I'm going to be putting together a gift guide for her, for him and a sister/ friend gift guide. These will be a mixture of beauty and non beauty products. There's also a few products I want to mention more in depth so I will feature these in individual posts. So first of all here's a few ideas and gifts I think will be great for the kids! There's a range of prices so theres a gift for any child. First of all I picked up these Go Create kits from Tesco, I picked up a Snack Tube Princess Desk Tidy one which you Recycle Tubes into Princess Turits and another one where you can turn bottles into pets, they were in the bargain corner for about £1 but you can pick them up at Tesco, they have Christmas ones and more expensive ones where you can make a bangle or a bag, perfect for any creative child.  Despicable ME is so popular with both boys and girls and is making a come back with their very own Minion film. This is a super cute squirty bath toy, you submirge the minion into water and squeeze him and water comes out of his mouth, I picked this up in Primark for £3, it will make a great little stocking filler. The personalised Nutella is great! It's perfect for all ages, even adults love abit of personalised Nutella. At £3.99 I think it's a really thoughtful gift for someone who likes Nutella and again at only £3.99 a great stocking filler for the kids, its avaliable in store at Selfridges You may have seen my blog post about the Smiggle event I went to recently, we were kindly gifted a few items and I've included a couple in this blog post. First of all the pin art star which is a great gift for all ages, its great for those creative and curious kids! At £10*it's again very affordable!




NOVEMBER WISH LIST

Olivia Burton Watch // Nars Virtual Domination Cheek Palette // F&F Roll Neck Jumper//
Topshop Check skirt with lace // Chunky Boots from Pretty Little Thing // Anastasia DipBrow 

With Christmas just around the corner i've been doing a spot of window shopping, i'm loving these roll neck jumpers right now. These ones from F&F clothing at tesco are a bargain at £8 each and come in a few different colours. I love this skirt that Llymlrs recently mentioned on her blog. I'm after a pair of chunky boots, these ones from pretty little thing are a little too high, I want something similar but not as high. The Olivia Burton watch is at the top of my wish list, I have 2 already but they have now released silver face watches!! All of my jewellery is pretty much silver apart from my watches so it would be great to have a silver one. The Anastasia dip brow is a product i've wanted to try for a while, i'm tempted to wait until I go to America to buy it. I'm loving the Nars Holiday Collection especially this gorgeous blush palette which is such a great value for money 

OUTFIT POST: FLORAL SKIRT AND PINK JACKET



JACKET // F&F // VEST: TOPSHOP // SKIRT: PRIMARK //
 SHOES: PRIMARK // NECKLACE RIVER ISLAND 










Just been spending today doing some blogging and replying to emails. Had a cheeky McDonalds for lunch and then went to take these outfit photos. I love this jacket which I picked up in the F&F sale for a bargain £12. It's the most perfect bright pink colour and it's just so versatile.  So far i've worn the jacket to work with a pair of black trousers, with a black skirt for date night with Clint and today with my midi skirt for a more smart/ casual look. I also got this skirt in the sale, it was a bargain at £5 from Primark I also have the pineapple version which you can see here. Primark Pineapple Midi Skirt


FESTIVAL FASHION WITH F&F


Dress : F&F* // Bag : F&F* // Necklace : Primark // Jellies : New Look* // Floral Head Band: DIY

It's been lovely and sunny today! I've had a lovely trip to the park for a picnic and thought it would be a great day to put together some festival/ summer outfit posts. My holiday is only a few weeks away so i'm getting very excited for that. This first outfit features this very cute dress from F&F, I love aztec patterns for the summer. This dress is so so comfy, I love the skater style. I think it's a very nice length just on the knee so its not too short. I like the short sleeves - it covers the shoulders from the sun which is great if your at a festival to prevent burning. I'm also wearing this cute crochet bag from F&F aswell which I think creates more of a festival / boho effect. I popped this together with a floral crown and my jellies. I think it works so well together and creates a very pretty look. 






 Playsuit : F&F* // Necklace : Primark // Bag: Zatchels* // Sunglasses : Primark // Floral Crown: Crown and Glory* // Jellies : New Look*

Another aztec pattern but this monochrome playsuit creates a more summery look. This would be perfect if your off to a festival abroad or even a festival like wireless which takes place in the summer. I have popped this playsuit on with a simple silver necklace and another floral crown. I think the pop of red looks great. I've got my Zatchels bag out aswell as its a great size for a festival. Playsuits are great if your going to get a tan, this sleeveless one will mean no tan lines. Make sure you pop some suncream on so you don't burn. This playsuit is so comfy and would be so easy to wear. You could easily pop on heels to dress it up or like me wear it with your jellies for a more comfy casual look.

REVIEW: Loreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 micellar water


 Loreal Paris Micellar Water - £4.99 Superdrug 

 I picked up the Loreal Micellar water because it was on offer at Superdrug for £2.50. It's currently on 2 bottles for £5 at tesco which is an equally good offer.

I haven't tried Bioderma so I can't compare but I must say I really enjoy using this micellar water.
Its a 200ml bottle for £5 whereas Bioderma is 250ml for £9.99

This is a really nice gentle micellar water that doesn't irritate my eyes or skin and removes all my make up including stubborn mascara's !!

Its a 3 in 1 micellar water so it removes make up, unclogs pores and removes impurities and tones leaving skin feeling soft.

It's really sensitive so can be used on eyes, lips and face.

I would really love Loreal to make bigger bottles of this product as I do feel like I use quite a bit of product and therefore it would be cost effective to sell bigger bottles.

I like to use this to remove my make up before I do a deeper cleanse or in the morning before I apply my make up as a toner.

Have you used any of the new Loreal range? I like the look of the new face oil !


My Bedroom






I've seen loads of these posts where bloggers do a post about where they blog from and decided that I wanted to do one too!
I do love my room (when its tidy) Its abit on the small side! but its cosy and warm and I get blog from here lol. The most important parts of my room are my bed and my wardrobe. My wardrobe isn't very big but i'm getting a build in wardrobe fitted soon so hopefully that will enable some storage.
My bed is very important because my rooms small so alot of things for example blogging or uni work gets done on my bed.
I Love Cath Kidston so my bedroom is very floral. My bedding is from Tesco! It was a bargain! I think every blogger actually owns this bedding. My wallpaper is off the internet my momma bought it for me! I just had to have it and I love it so much. I have alot of shabby chic style furniture and accessories in my room which I feel just tie my whole room together.
I love my mirror on my dresser it was from a carboot - I think it was like £5, i've seen similar ones on ebay for like £60 !
My big mirror on my wall was a present from my mom and i love it!
My dressing table was from a vintage furniture shop and my mom painted it white its really nice and i have a basket underneath which has loads of my beauty products in. Thought id include my in drawer organisation which I did the other day its just jewellery and hair bobbles and stuff.
I have loads of junk and storage boxes under my bed because I need all the room I can get haha

hope you like my room :)


Tesco Clothing




both tesco 

I posted the other day about what I should buy with my club card exchange vouchers and a few of you said I should defiantly go for this jumper which obviously I did. I also picked up this cute trilby hat with the little floral chain on it. Both came to the total of £20 which meant I didn't pay a penny :) Because I had £20 worth of vouchers. The jumper is such a lovely style and colour, I cant wait to wear it! I'm off on holiday next thursday and really needed to get a hat so when I saw this one I knew I had to get it :) 
What do you think ?
