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

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,

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.
