Walk to the Woods

So me at Serena over at Serena's Life took a cute little walk into the woods. This is Ruff Woods which is about a 2 minute walk from our flat and it's so pretty. It's extremely peaceful as it's away from all the traffic and city life, just with the occasional dog walker wandering past. Most of these pictures are taken by Serena but I just thought I'd show you how pretty it is.

My outfit consists of my cherished Miss Guided duster coat, New Look boots and a hat that's actually from eBay for only £5! I'm all about those bargains.

I also filmed my Autumn Lookbook in these woods and loved it so will definitely be filming more here when the weather is a bit warmer!

Hope you like this post,

Christmas Presents and Winter Sales

So Christmas had been and gone so I thought I'd show you what I got for Christmas this year!

(This is in no shape or form me bragging about what I got but I just want to show some of my favourites)

I've also thrown in some of the things I've bought over the holidays too, although I haven't been shopping much.

So firstly I got this set of 10 Revlon Top Speed nail varnishes. I thought when I first saw these that they were an odd mix of colours as they didn't really match but I love them all individually. I think my favourites are the far right one called Royal Blue, the one next to that called Cloud and the one fourth from the right called Mistletoe. Most of these varnishes are glittery and I can't wait to use them all!

I also got some more nail varnishes from No7 in a set called Fingers and Toes. I can't wait to use all these pretty colours.

And finally I got this Barry M nail varnish which as you know is my favourite brand. This is one of the special ones with like metallic strips inside. I think this will look nice to spruce up a plain colour.

I bought these shoes in Tescos of all places! I never usually thought that Tescos would sell things like these but when I was mooching around the sale items a size 7 caught my eye and I was gutted that I couldn't find any others. But I kept looking and finally found the last pair which were luckily a size 6. They were originally £22 but I managed to bag them for only £7! Major bargain!

I actually bought this 'hat' in London before Christmas. I'd always wanted one and when I saw this one I knew I had to buy it. It keeps my head so warm and matches all of my clothes.

I got this perfume for Christmas too which is the Katy Perry Killer Queen one. I had the Lady Gaga Fame last year and absolutely loved it but I wanted something else. This isn't fruity or sweet, it's quite musky and 'sexy' if anything, and I absolutely ADORE the pretty bottle! It also wasn't expensive.

My mum bought me this book and I can't wait to get started on it when I have time!

I was probably mostly excited about the Real Techniques set that I also got. I'd been nagging my mum for it for ages but I didn't expect her to get a full set, only one brush. They're dirty already too because I've been using them non-stop but they're just so soft. Really good at applying make-up and I highly recommend them.

I also got these two MUA palettes. I think everyone knows that I've kind of started collecting them now but they are just so good. The colour pigment is amazing compared to the price of £4-6 which is insane for 12 pigments. I have many different ones now, mostly neutral so I was happy to get the bright sparkly one.

You can never have Christmas without the body lotions and scrubs. I got a Gok Wan set with a body wash, shower scrub and body lotion. I also got from the No7 set Softening Foot Balm and Revitalizing Hand Saviour. And then my best friend got me the chocolate and vanilla hand lotion which smells amazing!

I also happened to get two onesies. A red and cream candy cane style one and a Primark dinosaur one that matches my brothers!

I bought this playsuit today from Liverpool. It's a really pale blue colour which I didn't think would suit me because of my hair but I think it looks quite nice. The back ties up aswel which made me love it even more. It's also the first playsuit I've ever owned. And I have a feeling that this pale blue is going to be very in style in spring and summer.

This book is absolutely amazing. Written by two sisters, they list millions of different inspiration and ideas that can help you in your photography. I've been in a bit of a rut lately with my photography so this book has been great at helping me out with my ideas.

I also got other bits and bobs like hair stuff, scarves and a new hairdryer which I'm grateful for. With my money that I got too I'm going to buy two softbox lights so that I can make my videos a lot better with amazing lighting!

I love seeing what people got for Christmas and I hope everyone got what they wanted!

Update!

Wow it's been ages since I've written anything and it's not even that I don't have any ideas, because I have a page full of notes that I'm planning, it's just that I don't have any time anymore :(

I do photography and media in college so most of my free time is spent up working on my projects and I also have to squeeze my work in too. Luckily my new job is from home so I can choose my own hours but I still have to fit it in between college and things :( 

Hopefully I can do more blog posts because I want to start proper fashion blogging and reviewing. I also have lots of photoshoots like I'd like to share with you all too and loads of places that I'm going to in the future.

I am hopefully going to the Clothes Show Live in Birmingham in December and this week I'm going to the Vogue Fashion Night Out in Manchester which should be fun. Also because I have a job I can save my money up for these special events :)

Sorry for rambling but you will be seeing more from me from now on!

Stay Happy,

Sarah

Photo shoot

I'm really sorry that I haven't been on lately, I've kind of had a mental block, along with my videos too.

But recently I went out with my two friends

Tasha was an amazing model as always and even though she doesn't like bugs, she managed to keep a straight face when wasps flew around her. I also had Ashley on hand to help with the lighting which was a huge help.

It was a successful day!

Outfit a day Part 2- Holiday

So this is the second part of the Outfit a day holiday edition. This is from the last week of my holiday.

This day I wore my denim DIY shorts, white sandals and a aztec print cropped top. 

On this day I put my fringe back (normally a full fringe, the heat didn't do it any good though) and wore my white boyfriend t-shirt and a hemmed skirt which is longer mesh at the back than the front but with a small underskirt underneath. I also wore my white sandals.

On this day I wore a plain black vest top and a pair of patterned short shorts from New Look. I paired these with my white converse.

On this day we were going on a trip to Puerto Banus so I wanted to look quite nice. I wore a black bandeau top with a plain black maxi skirt too. I wore my white sandals because they were the comfiest.

I wore a necklace with angel wings in it and matched it with this angel wings ring. Other than that I wore a red shambala bracelet and nothing else.

Because of the heat and pool water my hair had been drying naturally wavy so I left it, added some salt spray and put it half up half down with a plain black clip quite messily.

For my make-up I did a silver and black smokey eye with red lipstick.

On this day it was my birthday so I wore this maxi dress with the skirt underneath because i =t was my favourite. I'd also just been shopping and bought this cropped top with the mesh at the top. I wore a pair of black toms underneath. I'd straightened my fringe too and curled the ends of my hair.

On this day I wore my black maxi skirt again with my white sandals. I also wore the same top as before but in red (I bought two)

And on the last day I wore my DIY denim shorts and my black lace backed top. I left my hair natural and paired it with my white sandals.

Overall I loved dressing up nicely to go out and I'm quite proud of the outfits that I made with the clothes that I'd brought. I also had an amazing holiday which I will probably post about soon.

Stay Happy
