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.

New Videos :)

I'm a proper trooper with two videos in less than a week! I think...

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!!

Stay Happy

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

Holiday Haul

On Tuesday I'm going away for two weeks so I've been saving up my money to buy some essentials to take away. I went to Primark and Shout in Manchester.
From Primark I only really went in for some things that I needed.







I really needed a new make-up bag so when I saw these perfect sized ones I had to get one. They were all in different colours but I grabbed this coral bag (£3.00).
I also picked up some handy tissues that were only 60p because my hayfever was pretty bad.
I also got a new purse because I'd been looking for one that could hold all my cards in. I love this plain brown purse, and it fits everything in (£4.00)
Then I picked up a cropped boyfriend t-shirt. I wanted one of these that I could just wear over my bikini by the pool or on a day out. There were lots of different colours but I chose white because its nice and summery (£3.00)
Then I grabbed a new foundation brush. I normally use a No7 brush but it's falling apart because I use it so much so I bought this new one. It's pretty and it also has a concealer brush on the other end. The brushes are so soft and really good at blending. (£1.50)
The last thing I got is a pack of several earrings. I needed some more earrings that matched so I can keep changing them around. I like these earrings because they're really pretty and so inexpensive. (£2.50)
I also picked up some white socks to wear with my converse. (£2.00)

Then I went into a shop called Shout. I love this shop because they have really nice things but they aren't very expensive.



I bought this skirt that is ombred blue and it's so pretty. I'd been looking for a long skirt for ages and when I saw this I fell in love with it immediately. It's nice and flowy, and see through but with a short skirt underneath. (£7.00)
I also got this cropped top. I'd seen this top in Topshop but it was way too expensive so when I saw a version of it in Shout I picked it up straight away! It's so pretty with a see through lace back. (£5.00)

So that's all I bought, but it's all I needed really. I can't wait for my holiday but I'll hopefully still be able to post whilst I'm away.
Stay Happy
