Favourite Outfits!

Not too long ago I did a Boohoo haul and not all of these clothes are Boohoo but most them are. These are just a few of the outfits I've been wearing lately, some going out ones and some more casual! (Apologies for quality, they're all off my iPhone)

This first one os mostly Boohoo. The top is one of the ever so popular tie up tops, although this one is a bodysuit and also a halter neck so has no back. I've been so weary of these because I don't like getting my boobs out and I didn't feel like they were big enough to look nice in something like this but I tried it anyway. From Boohoo I also bought a pair of them stick on bra things and they actually work really well! I've just ordered another pair. This makes me so less self conscious and they stay on all night too! The skirt is also a Boohoo find and it's just a cute floaty skater skirt that you can match with anything! The boots are just ankle boots from New Look that I wear on most nights out!

This is one of my all time favourite outfits. Both are from Boohoo and the top is a cropped top with the thick chocker attached. I'd wanted one of these tops before and finally found one that I could still wear a bra with! The skirt is panelled with glitter and it looks so cute but the glitter literally gets everywhere, I've still got it all over our couch! I never usually get to dress up as elegantly as this so I loved being able to dress up.

This top is from Boohoo and again I wore it with the stick on bra. This is also a bodysuit and goes much lower than the other one but I'm not sure which I like best! I paired it with just simple denim shorts that I've had that long I can't remember where I got them from!

This outfit is just another combination of the previous ones but I love this s one the best. It's cute and girly but also elegant at the same time! Also the same shoes again!!

Another Boohoo find is this backless dress. It has a high neck which you can't really see in this picture so from the front it looks like a plain dress but then you see the back is open. You could wear this with no bra but I've got into the habit of wearing it with this pretty sports bra just be a bit more interesting! 

This casual kind of outfit is just my fave printed pants from Select with an off the shoulder top from New Look tucked in. This necklace is so pretty that I bought two, in different colour, off Boohoo! I wear them a lot!

Lastly is my fave pants again (I try not to wear them all the time!!), just a slouch top from Asda and my new bralette from Hollister. I fell in love with these immediately because they're so pretty and can be worn under anything. I also bought one in cream that has kind of a star pattern on the back!

So they're just a few of the outfits I've been wearing lately, I like taking different pictures of my outfits, most of them are all on my instagram! Hope you enjoy,

OOTD University!

So I've been wearing this outfit quite a lot lately, it's comfy, warm and practical for the weather in England right now. I thought I'd start doing more OOTD so you guys see what I wear on a day to day basis.

My top is just a long sleeved tee from Select that I wear with most things. The pants are from Select too and I wear these so much. They're high waisted and really flattering. I like the fact that they're patterned too because it just make the whole outfit more interesting.

My boots are new from Boohoo and they're similar to the brown ones I had before but I needed new ones anyway. These are so sturdy and comfy and I now wear them everywhere. 

My jacket is actually my new favourite thing! I got it from the Asos marketplace and it's a real Levi's denim jacket. The person who sent it me had problems with the postage and didn't send it until a week later. So nicely she refunded my postage. I love this jacket so much, it's warm and comfy!

And finally my bag is from Select. I use this for uni now because it fits so much stuff in. I think it will be great too for the summer/festival season because of the frills.

Hope you like this OOTD, I'll hopefully be doing them a lot more!

Stay Happy

Boohoo Wishlist #2

It's here again! 

The next series in my Boohoo Wishlist is Boohoo Boutique. This is the nice night time clothes or luxury items that everyone wants! So let's get into it!

(I apologise for the bad quality picture, I don't know how to get it better!)

So the first item is this pair of shorts. They are the Boutique Mya All Over Hand Beaded Shorts for £15 and I actually own these shorts! I thought I would add these because I absolutely love these shorts. I think they look so much more expensive than they actually are. The beading detail is so nice and even though I don't have the matching top it still works with loads of things. I usually wear them on a night out with a cropped top and heels because it looks so elegant. 

Next is the Boutique Pam Patterned Bodycon Dress and I absolutely love this dress. Although it might clash with my hair I love the patterns and especially on the hem of the dress. I like the conservative top part too, not showing off any chest because that's usually what I go for. I think this would look great at a christmas party of something like that and it's only £35.

The middle one is actually a coat and I do have one similar to this that I've started to wear constantly. This is the Boutique Orla Collarless Wool Coat for £40. These duster kind of coats are so unbelievably warm and on trend at the same time. They can look great with a pair of jeans and a scarf on a day out but also with a dress and heels on a night out. This coat is definitely one of my essentials.

Next is the Boutique Aura Mesh Grid Full Midi Skater Skirt for £20. I have one of this style of skirt already but I hardly wear it because it's not the kind of thing I'd wear on a night out clubbing. If I was going for a really nice meal or to a christmas party I would love to wear one of these skirts. I love the elegant look of them with heels and they really emphasise your waist which is always great. These are such a nice style of skirt to have in your wardrobe.

And lastly in another dress. It's the Ariel Boutique Lace Crochet Bodycon Dress for £30. I love the contrast between these two colours and how the lace pattern stands out against the dark background. The high neck is also suitable for me and the way the lace is around the waist makes the eyes drawn to their showing off your waist. This is also another dress that would be perfect for a christmas party!

Hope you liked my next wishlist, I have much more planned!

Boohoo Wishlist #1!

So if you guys know me well, you'll know my all time favourite shop is Boohoo (online shop). So because I have no money I thought I'd do a wish list of all the things I want instead. I looked at the Boohoo Brands because they kind of put everything together into similar things so if you're looking for something in particular it really helps. 

So the first Brand is called Boohoo Blue and no it's not all blue clothes like I assumed! There is lots of denim and most of the clothes are very tom-boy-ish which is my style all over. This is my favourite brand ever!

The first item is a checkered shirt. Every girl needs a shirt like this in their lives. It's so versatile, and you can pretty much wear it with anything. I mainly wear mine with jeans or tucked into a cute skirt, but also wrapped around a dress to add some extra edge. This shirt is the Fiona Oversized Longline Checked Shirt which is a great steal at £15. Also very good for Autumn/Winter to layer up over your clothes.

Next is a pair of jeans. I'm absolutely in love with boyfriend jeans at the minute, especially the ones with huge rips in. These are the Gemma All Over Ripped 7/8th Jeans for £25. I've bought a pair of ripped jeans from Boohoo before and I absolutely love them! I sometimes wear them casual with a simple t-shirt and converse or you can dress it up with a nice cropped top and a pair of boots or heels. 

Next is a denim jacket which I think are perfect for Autumn because it's a jacket but you don't need much of the warmth, unless you live up North like me! This is the Mia Oversize Boyfriend Denim Jacket for £25. This can be worn with anything and it's not just for Autumn, this jacket can be worn all year round with pants in Winter and dresses in Summer. 

The next is a denim skirt that have become very big this year. I currently own a black one that I wear with so many things. I can wear it casually for my lectures but I also wear it when I go out at night. This one is the Elise Denim Button Through Mini Mid Blue Skirt for £15. Again it can easily be dressed up or dressed down so I think this is an essential.

And finally is a shirt dress which have become so popular recently. They're lightweight and easy to wear with anything. You can go casual with leggings or jeans underneath but they're also so easy to wear on a night out too. This is the Sophia Stripe Shirt Dress for £20. But these dresses are so popular now you'll be able to find any style that you want pretty much anywhere. I highly recommend having one of these in your wardrobe!

So that's all the clothes from that particular brand on Boohoo that I would want to get, too bad I'm a pretty poor student. This is just the first installation of this, so I will be doing other brands too in the future so look forward to that!

Stay Happy,

Sarah

Boohoo Wishlist!

As you all know one of my favourite clothing stores/online stores is definitely Boohoo.com and I recently booked a girls holiday for the summer so my thoughts immediately went to summer fashion and I got really excited. So I thought I'd share with you guys my fashion inspiration for this summer.

First is the long floaty dress because I'm obsessed with these right now. I actually already bought one like this in the middle of winter so I think that's a definite problem with me. I think these would look perfect at a barbecue or even more perfect on a beach. This particular dress is the Sofia Grey Print Wide Sleeve Woven Maxi Dress which is £25. I like the fact that the sleeves and bottom of the dress are sheer, so I wouldn't be too hot in them really.

The next one along is the the white lace shirt, although I do love the shorts too, I'm just not sure what they are but I think the shirt matches well. It's the Natasha Organza Lace Shoulder Panel Oversized Shirt which is £20. I've really been loving shirts lately, baggy thin ones that would be perfect for the summer weather and for holidays.

Next is a bikini that I've absolutely fallen in love with. It's the Hawaii Push Up Tropical Print Long Line Bikini which is also £20. I love the colour and print of this bikini because it's bright and summery. I also love that it's a high waisted bikini bottoms because I think they're more elegant although it's not the best if you're looking to tan as you'll have a high line on your belly. Another thing that makes this perfect is that it's a push up bra because I'm not that comfortable with my chest but I think this would make me more confident whilst on holiday.

Lastly on the top line is a bracelet/ring. It's the Renee Floral Gem Hand Harness which is only £5. I really liked this pretty floral harness and can imagine myself wearing it for a meal out when I go on holiday. I really want to start wearing more jewellery this summer and I've been loving the boho style gold and silver jewellery.

First on the bottom line are the Rach Round Frame Sunglasses which are only £8. I feel in love with rounded frame glasses last year and so I've been looking for another pair for the summer this year too. I like these from Boohoo because they're quite different with the line going through the top. I'd love to get these or maybe some that have a thicker rim because I think they suit me better. 

Next is the Lara Fringed Tassel Rucksack which is only £18. I can imagine having this at a festival this year because of the fun tassels and the practicality of having a back pack at a festival. I think a back pack would be good on holiday too if I'm going for a day out or to the beach and just for summer in general. It looks big enough to fit a lot of things in too.

Next is the Eliza Mock Croc Ankle Strap Peep-Toe Block Heels which are £30. I've been looking for some of these heels for so long. I wanted some with a block heel that weren't too high for when I went out cause I'm tall enough as is it! I also love the buckle on the ankle strap because then they will stay on my feet when I'm dancing.

And lastly is a dress that I'm not sure how it'll look on me but I love how it looks on the model. It's the Mariah Woven Short Sleeve Column Maxi Dress and it's only £15. I think this would look really nice for a barbeque or something like that with a nice pair of boots. I think it would also look great at a festival with a nice pair of combat boots and a ruck sack.

All of these things got me so excited for summer/holiday/festival and I can't wait to be able to buy all these clothes and can't wait for the sun to start shining again!

Which of these is your favourite?

Boohoo Haul!

I've been very naughty lately and did a huge Boohoo Haul with my christmas money. But I did get a lot of bargains in the process!

I did a video here where I show you what all the clothes look like on and I'll explain them here in this blog post!

Boohoo Haul

The first dress is the Hannah Printed Off The shoulder Dress. I love the fact that this is off the shoulder, a few of the clothes in this haul are. I also usually buy just simply plain black clothes but this time I wanted to go for something different so I chose this patterned one. It was also only £8 instead of £15 so it was a good purchase.

The next was another off the shoulder dress, the Rita Off The Shoulder Bodycon Dress. It's similar to the first dress but it's a lot tighter on the body instead, making it a less casual dress. I also got it in black because that's pretty much all I wear! This was only £10 but I think it's a great staple piece to have in your wardrobe.

Next is one of my favourites, the Kendall Cage Sleeve Detail Dress. I would never normally buy a long sleeved dress but I love the cut outs on the sleeves. It's not a tight dress which I like too because it makes it more casual. This was only £15 too and I'd wanted it for ages so I finally bought it for myself.

The next is very different from my usual taste. I'm never one for bold prints because my hair is quite fussy so I thought it wouldn't suit but I took a chance. The love the fact that it has open sleeves too because it just makes the dress more interesting. This is the Callie Open Shoulder Floral Shift Dress and it's only £6 instead of £15 which is a big bargain.

This is also a very different pattern again for the same reason as it being too fussy but I really like this one. I love the mesh detail on the sides of the shorts and the tie around the waist because I think it gives me more shape. It's quite low down which is something I'd never usually buy but I thought I'd give it a chance and it doesn't look too bad. This playsuit is the Elissia Neon Floral Mesh Insert Tie Waist Playsuit and it was a huge bargain at only £5!

This playsuit is one of my favourite purchases of this haul. It's so plain and simple but I love it. The shorts are flippy and the cut of the playsuit is really flattering. It's the Ashleigh Turtle Neck Cap Sleeved Playsuit and it was only £8. I also decided to choose the berry colour for a change instead of the normal black.

This is dress was just for casual nights out as it's plain but still a bodycon. It's just a simple black dress but with a curved hem line which I think makes it just that little bit more interesting. It's the Taylor Curved Hem Roll Sleeved T-Shirt Dress and it was only £12. It comes in different colours but as always I chose black!

This dress is so out of my comfort zone it's unreal! For one, again it's patterned which I usually steer clear from but I just loved the shape of this dress. I must've been in a summer mood as I wouldn't wear this in the cold weather yet. I've fallen in love with this maxi dress though, which is a button down and also has huge splits up the sides. I can't wait to wear this dress in Spring/Summer. It's the Terri Paisley Button Through Maxi Dress.

The first pair of shorts I got were also something I'd never usually get. They're high waisted with kind of a geometric pattern on them. They're such a nice material and sit really well on my hips. They also fit in with my normal black and white theme. They are the Gail Grid Print Chiffon Skater Short and they were only £10 which I think is a bargain.

Lastly is this pair of flippy shorts that I think are quite casual so I've been wearing them to my lectures with tights alot but you could also wear them with a cropped top on a night out. They're also that lovely berry colour. They're the Ruby Plain Flippy Culottes and they were only £6 which I think is a massive bargain, I might even get more in the future in different colours.

So I hope you enjoyed this haul of Boohoo clothes. I don't think I'll be buying much now, my student loan is dwindling significantly. Thanks for watching/reading and don't forget to check the video out for this post!

I GOT A TATTOO!

So it's been a while but quick update, I got a tattoo!

For anyone that knows me well knows that I've wanted a tattoo for ages but just not known what to get. At one point I wanted a dreamcatcher or something to do with travelling but I never put my mind to it. But I soon found a design that I fell in love with and they're called Mandala's. Wikipedia describes them as a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the Universe and I do love that explanation. To be honest I just loved the designs but from doing research I've found loads of different meanings to them.

Here are some examples I looked at:

I absolutely fell in love with these designs. I think they're really pretty and I love the symmetry of them all. The last one was my favourite and I'd decided that I wanted it on my forearm. I wasn't sure how it would look though because I have super skinny arms so didn't know if it would look too thick or stupid but I tried anyways. 

I got my friend to draw up what I wanted, with elements from all the different pictures that I liked and this is what she came up with.

I absolutely fell in love with it straight away. She then proceeded to draw it on my arm so that I knew what it would like... in pen... that didn't come off for days.

Obviously it wasn't the perfect drawing but I decided that that was what I wanted to get. So my friend drew it up again and that was what I sent to the tattoo artist.

I went to Two Dogs in Earlstown because two of my friends had been there and highly recommended it. So I messaged them and asked when the earliest I could get an appointment for and luckily they fit me in about 10 days later on the 31st Jan. They said it would take 2 hours and cost me £100 which I thought was very reasonable for the detail going into it. So I agreed and asked them to redraw it properly, just without the thick line around the outside and then waited until it was time. 

On the day I was so nervous because I didn't know how I would react to getting a tattoo. They welcomed me with open arms and made me comfortable before they started. She transferred it onto my arm and then made sure I was fine with starting. I'm not going to lie but it did really hurt (I didn't cry) and obviously some lines hurt more than others, but it was so worth it. It did take just under two hours but the time flew by.

And she also put white ink in the middle dots so that they stood out more. 

She then wrapped it up and I didn't touch it for a few hours. 

I also made sure I had some cream for it as I had to clean it with warm soapy water and then out cream on it. We bought Bepanthen which is just for nappy care because it was recommended. 

So I cleaned it and then put the cream on but it wasn't too sore, just when I touched it. Didn't stop me going out either!

Here is a picture of me with a funny arm because I was trying to show it off. The dress is new from Boohoo (haul coming soon) and the boots are from New Look.

So this is the finished look

I love the detail of it so much and I've had nothing but compliments off my friends and family, even my grandparents who weren't too keen in me having a tattoo in the first place. 

I found this picture on Pinterest that describes what a Mandala means to me and I know that when I look down at it, it's what I'll see.

I think the first three are more relevant to me than the others but that's what I'll think everytime I look down at it. And it's also unbelievably pretty!

Hope you all like this post, never really seen one like this before so I thought it would be interesting. 

Also hope you guys love my tattoo as much as me because I'm hoping to get more in the future, addicted maybe?

Thanks for reading,

Stay Happy

Autumn Lookbook!

So my newest video is my Autumn Lookbook including affordable clothes from Primark, New Look and Boohoo. I was so excited to film this video!

Check it out here>> Autumn Lookbook

So I'll get started on the looks.

The first one is a cute girly one, with the dress and the long socks, but also has an urban look to it with the checkered shirt and chunky winter boots.

The dress is a new purchase from Boohoo and it's a soft black material with a turtle neck to keep you warm. I've only worn it for this shoot but I've fallen in love with it immediately, I might even have to get it in different colours!

The shirt was actually given to me but it's bigger than my normal size so it looks baggy. I wear this shirt with most of my clothes, with the sleeves rolled up and it makes a great jacket. I do know that it's from New Look though where there are some amazing shirts at the minute.

The knee high socks are just everyday ones that you can pretty much get from anywhere. I think they're good with this outfit because you can keep yourself warm whilst also looking good. I think they look great with the boots too.

The boots are another new purchase from New Look. I wanted some winter boots for ages and fell in love with these ones. They're a bit pricier at just under £30 but I think they're worth it for the winter months because they keep my feet nice and warm and are really sturdy and comfortable too.

The next look is a more casual one that I'd probably wear to a lecture or to go shopping in. 

My top is actually from Primark and it was an incredible £3! So I bought one in black and grey. Even though they're cropped tops and look thin they actually keep you really warm. It must be the material they're made of.

My jeans are also from Primark and they're just plain black ones that were £7. I added the rips in the knees myself making them look more expensive than they actually are and I think that's a better idea than buying some with rips in. I've done this to a number of my jeans myself.

My shoes are another new purchase from Boohoo. They're chunky loafers that have quite a high heel on them but I think they'll go with a lot of my clothes and I can't wait to wear them out.

And lastly is my scarf which is also from Primark. It was only £6 and it's reversible, so each side has a different thing on it. I love the dark colours because I think they match my clothes the most. This is also one of the warmest scarves I've ever owned, I'm forever wrapping it round me when I'm out and even when I'm at home.

And this outfit is probably one of my favourites.

Firstly the top is from Primark again (I'm in love) and it's the perfect autumn/winter cropped top. The sleeves are long and warm and the material is super soft, I'll be wearing it a lot this winter.

And these jeans I'm also in love with. I've wanted a pair of boyfriend jeans for ages and I finally bought these ones from Boohoo with huge rips in. These are so comfy, and I feel I could wear them in the day but also if I was to go out at night with a really nice pair of heels. 

And lastly the heels I actually bought from Manchester Market in the Arndale. I shop there a lot for my shoes because they're not that expensive and they're great quality too. They're easy to walk in and they're really comfy too so I feel I could wear them for a full night out. 

And my last outfit was an unplanned one so I don't have any pictures but you'll know what I'm talking about if you've seen the video. This is my comfy outfit and I wear this every time I'm in my room or halls.

The top is from New Look and it's just a simple high neck black top with no sleeves. It's so comfy and I can lounge around in it all day. 

The joggers I grabbed in the sale at Forever 21 because I haven't actually got a pair. These are lined inside so they're super soft and comfortable and they were also a bargain so I'm happy!

My favourite slippers are only £3 from Primark and they're the softest thing I've ever felt. They also have little sticky pads of the bottom so I don't go sliding down the corridor when I wear them.

The headphones that I wear in my video are some I bought from Urbanears and they're the Plattan ones in white. These have great sound quality which is great for editing or listening to music.

My dressing gown I've actually had a while so couldn't remember where I got it from but I've found out it's from a shop/brand called Camille which make super soft and comfy night wear and it must be good quality if I've had this one for a few years!

So that's all my outfits from my Autumn Lookbook.

If you haven't already, you can check it out here>> Autumn Lookbook

Thanks for watching/reading and let me know which outfit is your favourite?

Stay Happy!

Summer Wish List!

Today I've made this wish list of 11 things that I really want this summer. I go away on holiday with my girls soon and then I have a festival too so most of this is holiday/festival gear that I'm really excited about!

So here we go:

1. This first item I can't actually find anywhere that sell them at the minute. Forever 21 used to but they're all sold out. They are simply just lace halternecks that you wear under vests and t-shirts so you can just see the lace coming out under the top. I think these are super cute and I can't wait until more shops stock them. If you do know anywhere that sells them, let me know!

2. The next thing is the MAC Lipstick in Heroine. It's such a lovely deep purple and I've read loads of really good reviews about it and I love the colour. I think it would look really good on a night out. And this is £15.

3. The next thing I came across in Claire's because they have such a wide range of festival accessories at the moment. So this the Brown Dreamcatcher and Feather Arm Bracelet and it's £5.50. I think this goes on the top of your arm so the feathers dangle down. This just screams festival fashion and I love unusual jewellery with a passion so this is perfect.

4. I couldn't really find a real site for this item, but I found most of them are being sold on eBay. These are Leg Chains and there's an elastic that goes around your thigh, under whatever you're wearing and the chains fall down your thigh from there. I think these look so cute and I can totally see this being big this summer, like body chains.

5. The next items are 3 Barry M Gelly Nail Polishes from Boots. This is the pastel set including the colours Rose Hip, Huckleberry and Sugar Apple. I love Barry M nail polishes and these are the perfect colours for summer when you have a tan. These are also a steal at £3.99 each.

6. This is the Daisy Garland Headwrap and I'm not going to be able to get enough of flower crowns this summer. I think they're a staple festival piece, the bigger the better. But this daisy one from Claire's is quite subtle and I think it'll look really cute with coloured hair like mine. It is also only £10.

7. This is the Silver Head Chain from Urban Outfitters. Just like the leg chain I think these will become a lot more popular in summer and they're perfect for my middle parting now. I think they give the whole outfit a boho look which is perfect for festivals. This is only £12 too.

8. I really need to invest in a good shaver. I usually use disposable ones because they're cheaper but they're just not doing a good enough job anymore. So I found this one from Superdrug and it's the Gillette Venus Embrace Razor. It's £7.49 with multiple blades that last for ages. So I want this to keep my legs stubble free during the hotter months.

9. This playsuit is the Sienna Lace Plunge Back Chiffon Playsuit from Boohoo. I think the colour is perfect for summer and the lacy low back makes it more formal. But I also think this will look good on holiday. And it's only £20.

10. These shoes are my all time favourites right now. They're the Abbie Multi-Buckle & Strap Chunky Flats in white from Boohoo. I love these chunky shoes so much and I can't wait until I own a pair! They're only £25 too.

11. And finally these cute sunglasses are the Preppy Mirror Sunglasses in black from Urban Outfitters. Rounded sunglasses have definitely grown on me this summer as I wasn't too keen on them before. But I fell in love with these sunnies as soon as I saw them. And they are only £16.

So this is a wishlist of some of the things I think will look great this summer and I can't wait to purchase some of them.

Thanks for reading,

Stay Happy
