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,

Stay Happy

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

Spy Love Buy Wishlist

So this is the first wishlist of a few because I've been doing lots of window shopping at the minute for Autumn clothes! So there will be a lot of wishlists on here soon. 

The first one is from Spy Love Buy and I'm in love with pretty much all of their shoe collection but these are my favourites.

Firstly are these tan coloured heeled boots that have my favourite cleated sole on them! I fell in love with these soles when they first came out and I still love them just as much! These shoes are also only £32.95 with free UK delivery which i think is amazing for the quality of shoes that they look! I think these will look perfect with a pair of boyfriend jeans and a leather jacket in autumn and winter.

Next are the cute little black dolly shoes. These remind me so much of my old school shoes and I never thought they would ever come back into fashion, but I find myself really wanting a pair! I think these will look so cute with a pretty girly dress or even a pair of leggings and a cute flowy shirt! Also can be worn with nice frilly socks in autumn and winter when it's colder!

And on the bottom are a pair of patent black boots. I recently bought some like this but not as low, so I've been looking for some that I can wear out shopping instead of really high ones for a night out! I really like these shoes and I think they'll look nice with any kind of jeans or leggings and a nice leather jacket for autumn,

And last are these knee high boots that I fell in love with as soon as I saw! I've wanted knee high boots for so long but didn't know whether I would pull them off so I'll have to try some on this autumn. There was a girl in college that wore a pair of these regularly and I never asked her where they were from but I'm so glad I found a pair! That's why they're on my wishlist. I think they will look great with jeans tucked in and cute quilted coat in the colder weather.

So that's my autumn wishlist from Spy Love Buy and you should check them out because I'm obsessed with their shoes at the minute!

Stay Happy
