Kimono Loving!

Hi Lovelies,

It's just under 2 weeks until I got to Turkey and see my other blogging half Wonder of Freedom! (she left on Monday). A Kimono is an item that I'm defiantly taking on holiday with me as they are perfect with a pair of shorts or as a bikini cover-up. Me and Kirsty both have this Kimono and only just realised one day when we had met up.

A beautiful sunny day in July means I have to have a pair of sunglasses on my head or over my eyes! Mine are from the kids collection of Ray Ban's for £100, I did buy theses four years ago so they won't be available to purchase.(sorry!)

My frosted Sekonda watch bought by my grandparents 6 years ago (I need a new one) I would love a Mini Michael Kors!

Outfit Details

Kimono: Primark

Jeans: M&S

Shoes: Primark

Cami: Primark

Sunglasses: Ray Ban 

I absolutely love this Kimono the tassels and the print is so elegant and perfect for a Summers day!

Thanks for Reading Lovelies!

Make-Up Routine!

Hello Lovelies!

Welcome to today's post! As you can see my photos are a little different today as I have used my MacBook's Camera with the effect ''Plastic Camera''. Anyway enough of me blabbering on about the photos, lets talk about what todays post is actually about. So I am going to show you my basic make-up that I apply when I'm off school. It's also the Summer Holidays which means I can wear make-up pretty much every day.

Any lets get started on this tutorial.

Okay so I first start off by removing any eye make-up that I forgotten to take off the night before (oops!) I use Clinique's Take The Day Off for Lips and Eyes*. I love this as in one swipe its all off!

I then use toner to get rid of any dirt that has clogged up my pores, swiping on my face, neck and behind my ears. I get Clinique's Clarifying Lotion in a 2 ( for oily to dry skin )

My Go-To moisturiser is Dramatically Different from Clinique. I suffer from sensitive skin which has been a battle since I was young, over the years I've tried so many creams and they work for a while then my skin gets used to it and wants something stronger. I found that Clinique's is amazing at £27 per bottle it's a little pricey but you get what you pay for. I only use a pump if this each day and this does me perfect for the duration of the day!

Eye Cream is a must have in my make-up bag as I suffer from puffy and dark circles under my eyes. A quick blob under each eye makes me look more awake. Teen Vogue recommend the All About Eyes from Clinique.

Next I always apply concealer to my skin as I feel that I can hide my dark circles and blemishes, again this is by Clinique and its called ''Airbrush Concealer'' at £18 it's quite pricey! I get this in Shade 04 Neutral Fair.

I really don't like using liquid foundation as I find it's not as natural and it can make your skin look shiny. So I prefer to use a power foundation as it hides any oil that may be on my skin, this foundation is from Clinique as I have sensitive skin. This is the lightest shade! £23

Afterwards I just put some brow gel on just to set them!

I then pick whatever eyeshadow I fancy that particular day, today's choice was L'Oréal Paris' Chrome Shine in the shade ''Brown Silver''*

Lipgloss is applied my favourite is a Barry M lipgloss in the shade Bubblegum! (Free with a can of Impulse)

All Done!

Thanks for Reading todays post lovelies!

See you next time

What Shoes am I Taking on Holiday?

Hello Lovelies,

Welcome to todays post on shoes! We all love shoes and I'm going to share with you which ones that I'm going to take to Turkey - which I'm going for 2 weeks this Summer!

I think it's important to have some good shoes on holiday as you need to be comfortable to be able to relax.

I am takin 8 pairs with me, I know seems a lot but I'm taking them for different reasons.

This first pair I'm going to travel in as they are going to match my outfit, these shoes are from Primark - £4

I was wanting a pair of Espadrilles and didn't really like the straw sort of bases so I found theses ROXY ones in TkMaxx last year, they have a flip-flop bottom and the cotton is very light, perfect for warm weather. I can't remember the price but about £10 I think

This is the only pair of sandals that have lasted since last year, as I've grown out of a few pairs. These are just very basic perfect for plain outfits. Primark (2013) - £4

These slip ons are so easy to wear as I can style most outfits with theses perfect! Primark -  £4

This season pool sliders are in so I went and bought myself a pair of basic gold ones. I used to hate these when I was little thinking that they were clumpy and awful, I love them now! I bought these from TkMaxx - £7.

I now own 3 pairs of Converse which I love! So the other week the Office sale was on. Well when sales are on I had to get them at £35.

All of the shoes that I'm taking are flats but I need some heels/wedges, I purchased this pair in New Look's Sale last year for £15, perfect to dress items up.

My last pair are some Havaianas that I picked up this weekend in TkMaxx for £10 which was a bargain compared to the £25 price tag, perfect for the beach!

So thats all, you now know that I love TkMaxx for shoes!

I've Been Drinking Watermelon

1/2/3/4

Hello Lovelies!

One of SS14 trends is a watermelon print!

It's so bright and fruity making you look even more tropical than you really are. We start off with some cute realistic looking shorts from American Apparel. It's a little bit pricey at £54 but I'm sure that they are a good quality pair of shorts. If you just want a small amount of fruit, a phone case if for you. I love this and think its really pretty to add to an outfit! A clutch is all you need for a variety of outfits. Available in orange and lemon! H&M's bag is perfect for the beach!

Hope you like todays post.

White Converse!

Hi Lovelies!

Today's post is all about one of my favourite pairs of shoes. Which are my white Converse! I love these shoes as they go with anything really. I can wear theses with some smart trousers to make it dressed down. Today I am wearing them with some blue shorts and a long sleeved Wonder Woman crop top. My shorts are from Next and my crop top is from Primark!

                                  

Don't wear them without socks like I did! I've ended up with blisters :(

I also love the contrast that white converse give. For example the grass makes them look so much more whiter and cleaner. 

That's all today lovelies x

Hello Lovelies!

Todays post is a few items I've spotted on eBay and like. 

1 is a crop top and shorts in a cute floral patten,

2 is a blazer and trousers or a skirt which are very popular all over the High Street.

3, I love it! Its so retro and will go with anything, the gold chain is perfect to carry it!

4 Lately I love statement necklaces but they seem quite expensive on other websites this one on eBay was about £3 with free P&P!

Hopefully I may get my hands on these products by the end of July for my holiday!
