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!

Spring Lookbook

So after quite a while with no videos I finally filmed and uploaded a new one!! I absolutely love lookbooks, they're my favourite thing to film and also watch on YouTube. So I decided to do 3 spring outfits for the upcoming sunny months. 

Here in England it's been warmer than usual so that's made me want to dig out the shorts and sunglasses so if it's not that warm where you are yet you could always put jackets or tights on with these outfits.

I thought I would go through my different outfits and where I got my clothes from and stuff in my blog instead of on YouTube so I can explain better.

Outfit 1- Casual

So for this first outfit all of the clothing is from New Look. A lot of the clothes in this are from New Look because there's a store at home and also where I live at uni, so I buy most of my new clothes from there.

The top is an off the shoulder one, which is a style I've always loved! I think it's a nice change to just an ordinary top and a bit more spring/summery because it shows off your shoulders. I didn't think I would like the stripes as much as I do, as I bought a second top like this (2 for £12) which was black but I still wear this one more. 

The jeans I got on offer at New Look, I think they were only £7. They didn't originally have the cuts in the knees, I did them myself but I think it just makes them look a bit different and edgier. 

And finally the shoes are my favourite things. I wear them most days because they are one of the comfiest pair of shoes I've ever owned. They also match all of my wardrobe which is handy and I love the 'Timbaland' feel of them even though I payed way less. They're pretty worn now but I think it makes them look a lot better.

Outfit 2- Spring Playsuit

This playsuit has become one of my new favourite outfits, I love everything about it. I think the pattern is very summery, whilst also being my favourite colour black. And the fit of the playsuit is great, with a tight upper half and then flippy shorts for the bottoms. I really like the top of the playsuit too and how it ties round my neck because I try not to show my chest off the best I can. And I just think the back is really pretty too. And the best part is that this was only £12 from Forever21 which I think is a bargain. I'll definitely be getting my money worth from this outfit. 

The shoes from New Look I've had for a while now and I think they're great. I don't like wearing really big heels as I'm tall enough as it is so these are good because the heel isn't huge and I don't end up towering over my friends. They're also really comfy, and can wear these all night with no problems. 

And finally I can't wait to wear this hat more often over spring and summer. It was a bargain from Primark and it just reminds me of sunhats that you wear on holiday or something you could wear to a festival.

Outfit 3- 

And the top in this outfit is actually new, this was the first time I'd worn it. I'd seen them in pictures online for ages and always wanted one of the tops with the slits up the sides. I think they look great with shorts underneath or even leggings in the colder weather. They just scream festival fashion so that's why I bought this one from New Look.

The shorts are from George at Asda, which is an English supermarket but I so love some of the clothes from George. These are white denim with small buttons on the sides and I think they match this top pretty well. 

And finally the shoes are another pair that I wear daily. I usually wear these on a night out if I'm not wearing heels because they're a bit high but also extremely comfortable. I think they'll be great again for spring and summer when the weather stays nice.

Lastly my sunglasses that I wear with these outfits are from Afflecks which is a collection of shops in Manchester. These are the first round sunglasses I've bought but I love this style and will definitely be buying more like this.

My earrings are just a simple set of silver hoops from Dorothy Perkins I think which I wear almost daily too.

And my watch is also from Asda and I just like the plainness of it because it's just simple black and gold with a leather strap. It was also a bargain at only £8.

So that's all of my outfits for the lookbook. If you haven't seen it yet you can check it out here.

I hope you enjoyed it and I can't wait to get back to the weekly videos again!

Also a huge thanks to Serena over at Serena's Life who helped me shoot the whole thing and take all these great pictures! Go check her page out!

As always stay happy,

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!

New Videos :)

Anyways my first one is a simple Lush and Primark Haul with a few things thrown in here>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrplfEI-KSA

And my second one is a list of all of my Summer Bucketlist, even though it's only April you have no idea how excited I am! >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8HrM11XR2Q

I also have a special gift...kind of...

If you've never heard of a website called 8 Tracks before then where have you been!? 

8 Tracks is a music website where you can listen to and make your own playlists with practically any songs you want. It's perfect to just plug in and listen too, and I've discovered so many amazing songs and bands that I didn't know about! You can also get an app for your iPhone and hopefully Android :)

So I made my own playlist of all my favourite summer songs right now that I thought I would share with you guys if it's sunny where you live and you're in a good mood. In includes pop/indie songs and I listen to it all the time. Also whilst your over there you can make your own account and save playlists you like, and comment on them. You can also make your own to listen to whenever you want!

So you can check my playlist out here>> wanderlust

Hope you liked it!!

Jelly Shoes!!

Okay so I'm just going to jump right in with these shoes because I'm too excited to even keep it in!

I saw this trend a few weeks back and I fell in love with them immediately! But when I looked then up I found out they were about £25 which is a little steep for me for a pair of rubber shoes haha

So I went hunting and managed to find some for £13 on eBay! (I'll put all the links below)

And I ordered them on Wednesday night and they came today!

So obviously these aren't the real Juju Jellies but they were inspired by them and to be honest except from the logo that would've been on the shoes, they look extremely similar.

So these are just plain black with a really small heel and cut outs in the sides. They also have a cute little buckle to keep them on your feet.

They bring back so much from my childhood because I used to have a pair of little cute pink ones and I loved them so much! These shoes are literally perfect for summer, and you could also wear them with tights or a pair of really cute socks if it's still chilly outside. 

I think these are so on trend at the minute and over the summer they're going to become more and more popular!

So if you want the link for the actual shoes you'll find it here

And the official Juju Jellies website is here

Mini Haul

So this is just a mini haul of the things I've bought over the past few weeks.

Some of them I've used and I might do a proper review soon.

So I needed a foundation that I could wear on a night out that was thicker than my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. This one got recommended to me and it's the Revlon Colorstay 24hrs foundation. So far I've loved this foundation because I got it on offer and it does amazing things for my skin! I'll probably do a full review of it soon.

My previous post is about this primer. It's the Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser/primer and it's my first primer I've owned so I can't really compare but I love the effect that this has on my skin. It really does erase my pores and helps my foundation glide on my skin and makes it stay all day.

I bought this new MUA blush because I wanted to try out different blush shades and this one is so inexpensive. This is in the colour Bon Bon and it's a pale pink colour. I love MUA blushes because the colour is so pigmented and they're a great value for money.

If you've ever seen any pictures of me before then you'll know I have quite thick and dark eyebrows but recently I've been doing them a bit thinner. I also used eyeshadow to see what it would look like to have them filled in and it makes such a difference! So I invested in this L'oreal Super Liner which has an eye brow brush, brown pencil, and then a wax fixer on the other end. I haven't used this yet but I can't wait to try it out.

I also finally got this Collection Lasting Perfection concealer that everyone goes on about. I needed a new concealer so I decided to give this one a try and see if I like it as much as everyone else.

I'm also new to this product which is gel eyeliner. I've only just mastered the liquid eyeliner to a good standard so I was also scared that I'd be really bad at this (I don't have a very steady hand) but I'm excited to try this out too.

I also bought this new brush. It's the Real Techniques sponge that you can use for foundation, concealer, powder and even blush. I'm trying to add to my collection of applicators so this makes a nice change to normal foundation brushes.

I also bought a new pair of jeans from Forever 21. I don't usually shop in there but when I went in I literally wanted everything in the shop. These are a skinny, distressed look jean, and they weren't expensive at all. I haven't stopped wearing them since!

I found this dress in a charity shop in town because I need a long dress for a shoot that I'm doing tomorrow. This dress feels so soft and it's such a lovely prom dress and it was only £10! A real bargain because I can use it in more than one shoot.

This is the lovely detailing on the top.

I also spent up in Lush too. I don't usually have baths that often but when I do I love to have nice smelling things. I bought this purple one which is the Phoenix Rising Bath Ballistic. It has little gold bits in too that I'm excited to see what it turns out like. 

I also bought this pale pink one which I have no idea what it's called but it smells a lot like the Bubblegum Lip Scrub and I'm in love with that so I decided to get this! I can't wait to use it.

So that was just a small haul of what I've bought recently. 

Do you have any of these products? If so what do you think of them?

Mini Haul

So a few days ago I went into Manchester, mostly to watch the new Romeo and Juliet, but I'd also just been payed so I did some cheeky shopping too! 

This denim pinafore dress is from Primark and I saw that they were clearing them out. I've wanted a dress like this for ages and haven't found one that I like but I loved this! The straps are leather look and it has little gold studs too. I thought this dress was a bargain for just £5, you can wear it with cropped tops for going out or a t-shirt for casual or even a nice jumper underneath for an Autumnal look.

I saw this cropped top to match the dress above and tried them on together. The fabric is really thin which is great for me because I get too hot pretty easily, so this is perfect. It's also long sleeved too which will keep my arms warm in college. This cropped top was only £5 too so it was a bargain and I've always wanted a long sleeved cropped top. 

These leggings were from a place called Shout in Manchester which is one of my favourite shops. They always have amazing things that are really cheap! I love the tartan pattern this year and these leggings were just shouting out at me. I know that they're pretty bright but they are a staple piece that I will just wear with a plain top and shoes. These were only £5 too!

This top is from Shout too. I've been looking for one of these tops with the almost spaghetti straps for ages and I finally found this one. Another plus with this top is that it's velvet and matches well with a lot of my leggings. This would be nice for something like a casual party. It was only £7!

I'd run out of my mascara so I needed a new one. My last one was the Scandal Eyes Retro Glam mascara. I did like this mascara but I don't think it's the best one I've had. I decided to go back to my old favourite with the Maybelline Falsies. This mascara isn't over expensive and I love the brush! I think I managed to find it for £6.

I wasn't particularly looking for anything in Topshop because I didn't have that much money left but when I saw this scrunchie I knew I had to buy it. It's a dark green velvet scrunchie with a small bow that has wire inside so you can manipulate it any way you want. I love this and will mostly use it when I put half my hair up. This was £4 from Topshop

I decided to buy some tights because it's now becoming colder. I needed a normal pair and then I saw these cute grey winter ones that are thicker. Hopefully I will get the chance to wear them in winter soon. I think these were £2.50/£3 from Primark.

I also bought some midi rings from Primark. These were only £1.50 and you get eight rings. I got these ones because they are all different colours and you can wear different ones with different outifts. There's silver, gold, rose gold and a dark grey that I was already wearing! I think these look pretty and aren't expensive.

Less interestingly I bought these hair clips for when I want to only put half my hair up. These were from Primark and I can't remember how much they were but I think they were under £2.

And finally from Primark I never fail to buy some new underwear. The top pair I bought because of the mint green colour that I'm obsessed with and the bottom are a cute purple colour with light pink detailing. I think these were about £1.70 each or something like that.

So that was just a small haul of the things I bought. Hopefully I will do more winter shopping soon because I'm looking for the perfect winter jumper. If anyone knows any nice ones, let me know!

Stay Happy
