Simplicity


DRESS - SO IN FASHION // FLATS - TOPSHOP


Earlier this week I was sent this goooorgeous dress from So In Fashion, a lovely site with lot's of in trend pieces. They have lots of midi dresses which are to die for!! I also love their Pinafore which is a cheap alternative for that Topshop one which was in a while ago!

If I'm honest, I wouldn't necesarily always pick this dress out and I was a bit wary when ordering it but after recieving it and trying it on, I actually really love it! The print is super pretty and the velvet effect gives it a bit of an edge. I can see this working perfectly with a splash of neon as monochrome and colour seems to be a big thing right now! I don't know why, but as soon as I tried it on I felt as if I were going to a wedding.. it just has that kind of feel to it, which is great considering I have a wedding to attend this July!

I'm Loving.. Studs

STUDS

JUMPER // LEATHER JACKET // BLACK SHORTS // GREEN SHORTS // SHOES // BAG // BRACELETS // BRALET

I'm currently questioning myself why I haven't yet made this post. I am very disappointed in myself. STUDS GLORIOUS STUDSSSS. I just love them. Anything with studs on, you can guarantee I'll love it. I currently own studded shorts, shoes, boots, shirts and a bag.. maybe even more. I think they are such brilliant simple pieces of detailing, and give a bit of a punk/gothic look to anything and everything. If you ever get bored of an item of clothing, all you have to do is buy a pack of studs off ebay for practically nothing, wack 'em on and bam, a brand new, unique and personalised piece. Do you have any obsessions like I do with studs?

Just give me a reason

T-SHIRT - PRIMARK / LEIGH JEANS & STUDDED FLATS - TOPSHOP / CHAIN - BOOHOO

Apologies for my 'I'm so totally unimpressed' look here, I'm still attempting the 'I'm a model and I'm werkin it baby' look that so many beautiful bloggers pull off! I know how controversial these tee's are but I think they're just a bit of fun and I loved them when they first arrived in Topshop, but I'm very glad I waited because Primark soon bought them in for a lot cheaper (of course!). I'm considering never buying anything again from shops like Topshop and Zara until it comes into Primark, ha! They're cheap and cheerful and can be easily styled.. perfect for when I'm being lazy!! I absolutely love Topshop jeans, and can't wait to get the Joni ones next winter, hopefully! I've never found any that I've been happier with. What's your favourite place to shop for jeans?

Avon Haul


You know those times when you just crave a beauty haul? I have those feelings nearly every month. My nan gets the avon magazine regularly and always hands it to me and mum to have a look and nearly every time there is something I want. This time I got the Mocha eyeshadow quad which came with some gel liner and mascara. Being a girl who's very much a make-up noob, I wanted to try a cheap and cheerful lip product, so I got a light pink lip stick (this was defo a bad colour choice!!). At the time I was experiencing some serious spot troubles so I chose the spot treatment. And finally, my nails are atrocious at the moment, they keep peeling which I think may be because of the lack of sunlight they get, I can't leave the house without some colour on them, so I bought a gel strength base coat and a peeling and brittleness solver! Let's hope they work!

Would you like to see any reviews on these? What's your fave Avon product?

DRESS - TOPSHOP / JACKET - NEW LOOK / BOOTS - BOOHOO

I took this photo while taking all my other OOTD's to schedule a while ago and because I'm a lazy slob I couldn't be bothered to put any tights on. So just to say, I would definitely wear tights with this dress if I were to wear the boots! This midi dress was one of my favourite Christmas presents. I sent mum out to get it just before Christmas to give to Santa and I'm so happy she did. It's in my favourite colour maroon and gives a much older and more sophisticated look rather than letting the flesh hang out! I also love the fact you don't need to add anything to it. I tried pairing it with a necklace, but it just ruined it! I always moan about my outfits being far too simple, but in this case, simplicity is key!

Ebay Wishlist #4

SHOES//BAG//SUNGLASSES//JUMPER//CROP TOP

So many of my current favourites in one wishlist, arghh!! Let's start with the obvious one, the shoes. Studs/spikes, that is all. Secondly, I am loving these designer fake tops/jumpers at the moment, like the popular celine tee and rottweiler jumper dupe. I hate it when people try to wear expensive brands and act like they're real but it's so obvious they're fake, whereas this trend puts a whole different twist on it. I just adore the vintage shades, my brother has my dads very old ray bans which are similar to these and they're just SO gorgeous! I find myself stealing them every summer. Have you found any ebay bargains recently?
