Benefit 'They're Real!' Push up liner

Im not a beauty blogger, and beauty products are not something I massively venture into. I normally stick to the regular foundation and mascara and thats about it. However this eyeliner has literally changed my makeup routine forever. Benefit have just released their new eyeliner to go with the UK's number one mascara, 'they're real'. The eyeliner is a gel liner in a pen. the tip is flexible, meaning getting the perfect flick is so easy. I found that I can wear it for a whole 9-5 shift at work with no budge which is something I really look for in an eyeliner. To remove, Id 100% recommend using the they're real makeup remover, it literally removes the liner with one wipe. I am going to have to buy the full size after using up the tester sized one. 
I also got a little spoiled and got my eyebrows tinted and waxed by the lovely girls at benefit. A week later my brows still look fab and the best they've ever looked. Thank you to the benefit girls in Hereford Debenhams for the brows and lovely evening! 

Have you tried using this eyeliner yet?

Minty Fresh

Dress Topshop | Bag Accessorize | Shoes La Redoute 

So I haven't blogged in forever and have felt completely out of it. I have finished uni and started a proper job and gone on holiday, so I have been so tired and busy I haven't had any time to sit down and blog. However I am hoping to get back into the swing of things and make use of this gorgeous weather we've been having. 
I just came back of holiday then went to a wedding a few days after so I needed to have my outfit ready and prepared. As it was a summer wedding I decided a dress would be prefect. I was unsure initially if i wanted a jumpsuit or co-ord but this dress decided it for me. This beauty is from topshop (its in the sale now too!)  I found it in their prom section but think its prefect for weddings too. The style is prefect for my shape and the length is suitable for my height. I absolutely love the back detailing on it - It looked even better with a tan! I was initially unsure about wearing mint but with a bit more colour than my normal pale self but it looked lovely. I struggled massively on the bag and shoes to match this dress but decided on this beautiful mint clutch from accessorize and black heels from La Redoute. I think the whole outfit works so well together and I loved wearing it. Im hoping I will find another occasion to wear this dress but doubt it'll happen for a while. In the meantime, I will be happy knowing its sitting in my wardrobe looking pretty. 

What colour are you loving at the moment?

Patterned Jeans

| Jeans H&M | Top Asda | Shoes La Redoute* | Sunglasses Primark |

These photographs were taken 2 weeks ago in Southampton and I was hoping the weather was going to get back like this. Luckily the weather was just as nice this weekend which was so nice. After my first full week of work as a full timer, I needed the weekend off to relax. I spent it with my boyfriend which was lovely. We went for a meal, into town and a little walk through the countryside. 
This outfit is perfect for those spring/summer days where you want to look fashionable but be comfortable. These jeans are such a lovely paisley print. I absolutely love the detail on it. I wore this with my asda cami top which was such a bargain at £5! I finished this outfit off with my gorgeous La Redoute sandals. I love how they look with every outfit I style them with. This was such a perfect outfit to wear over the weekend and was so comfortable too. 

What did you do this weekend?

Asos Leather Dress

| Dress Asos | Shoes Newlook | Necklace Topshop |

I took these images last week and i am dying for the weather to be like this again. Im hoping this weekend the sun will come out so I can go out and enjoy time off work. This week has been super crazy for me, I finished my three years of uni, moved back home and started my new job. 
I absolutely love this dress so much. I have always been scared by the leather trend but my friend Emma bought this and after I saw the leather material and how it looked on, I knew I had to buy it for myself. I really love the asymmetric style of the dress at the front and the flattering little cut outs at the back. I love how it looks teamed with the pop of colour of the necklace and shoes. I seemed to be able to wear this necklace with everything and it matches and completes the look. I think this outfit is perfect for my holiday possibly with sandals or lower heel.

Sandals for Spring

| Jumpsuit Newlook | Clutch Accessorize | Shoes La Redoute* | Sunglasses Primark |

The weather has been so lovely recently and I am planning on enjoying myself in the sunshine for my last week at uni. With the weather being warm I decided it was time to bring out my jumpsuit that I have been dying to wear for a while now. I bought it from the petite section of newlook but I think they have quickly sold out, It fits my 5"3 frame perfectly. I was kindly sent these heels from La Redoute and I really love how they make my outfit so much more summery and classy. The heel is the perfect height for the day and can easily be worn during the day through to the night. I can wear these shoes with so many of my outfits I am actually shocked, i've never really had a day heel before but I am warming to the idea of it! I teamed this outfit with my beautiful clutch from Accessorize, its just the right size to fit everything I need in it. I cant wait to wear this outfit on my holiday which is fast approaching, only 61 days and I have nothing besides this outfit sorted and planned!  

How have you been enjoying the sunshine recently?

Orange and Blue

 | Jeans Dorothy Perkins Petite | Top Topshop | Necklace Topshop | Heels Newlook |

It seems like it has been forever since I've blogged (I cant believe its almost been a month!) and I've completely fallen off the blog radar. I had no idea uni work could take over my life so much but unfortunately it has. With my deadline looming and a new job starting soon after, I've literally had no time to think of anything else. Let alone get time to go out and blog. However, I gave myself a much needed break earlier today and enjoy the lush weather we've been having recently - bring on summer! 
Ive been wearing jeans a lot more recently which is very different compared to my trusty leggings I wear every day. I find it super difficult to find jeans that fit as I'm pretty short, these Dorothy Perkins Petite jeans have been my staple denim for years now and I re-buy them every so many years. I teamed them up with this gorgeous top from Topshop, I absolutely love the colour and the flattering length sleeves. I think its perfect for those spring days. I also wore my amazing Topshop necklace which I picked up not long ago. I really love how it completely finishes off the look of the top and makes it look so summery. Too add height to my little body I wore these beautiful heels from Newlook. I love the chunky heels that make wearing heels a little more bearable. I love the colour combination of orange and blue, I think theres something really modern and fresh about it. I cant wait to wear this outfit more, possibly more with sandals for boots on those cooler days. 

What colour combination do you love at the moment?

Week at home and OOTN

| Top Asda | Jeans Dorothy Perkins Petite | Shoes Vintage |

I haven't blogged in a while, mainly because my final year of uni has taken all my time and social life. I have been busy job hunting and figuring out what to do with the rest of my life when I finish, no pressure! 
I went home for half term week which has been greatly needed, I love just being able to chill and not have to think about food! Tonight we are going out for a meal so I thought I would share what I am wearing. I picked up this cami top from Asda for only £5! I thought it was such a bargain I had to pick up a few colours for summer. I teamed it with my trusty Dorothy Perkins skinnies and these gorgeous vintage shoes. I think they finish off the whole look and make it look a lot more evening appropriate. They're so comfy and the perfect heel hight for a meal, obviously for a night out I prefer my massive 5-6 inches. They're not my normal height but I actually really like wearing them to make a simple outfit a bit nicer.

January 14


This month has been pretty hectic for me. After working most of the christmas holidays and not getting a lot of time at home, uni started again pretty quickly. I turned 21 at the start of the month which was such a lovely day. I went away for a bit to get away from uni, I felt like I was stuck there for so long! I did some well deserved retail therapy with my birthday money and relaxed. I also got a new phone which I have been loving using. My Instagram photo quality has drastically improved! The later part of January has been filled with finishing my dissertation which has been so tedious and long. Writing isn't my strong point so I struggled a lot with it. thankfully its done and completed which is such a relief. Now its onto my last project for the year then uni is done! 3 more months then I'm off into the big world. Obviously after my holiday to Portugal which is only 115 days away, not that I'm counting down or anything. Its my big motivation for finishing everything.

What have you been doing this month?

Feeling fresh, Feeling new

Jumper Newlook | Scarf Zara | Boots Uggs | Jeans Dorothy Perkins | Necklace Newlook

Happy New Year everyone! 

I cant believe its 2014! This year is such a big year for me I actually cant wait for it! Im turning 21, I'm graduating, I'm leaving Southampton to somewhere new (or wherever I can get a job) and I'm going on holiday to Portugal with the boy in Summer.
I thought seeing as its a new year, I would give my blog a little re-vamp. I like doing this every now and again, mainly because I get bored, but I'm learning so many things computery from blogging, I thought I should put it to good use. I really like how it looks at the moment and can see me keeping it for a while.
Excuse the set up at the moment - student accommodation isn't the nicest place to take blog photos.
This outfit is something i've been wearing loads since I got this jumper for Christmas. I already have this jumper in pink so asked for this colour to go with my collection (anyone else do that?) I absolutely adore this tiffany mint blue colour and think it looks so good with my jeans, which I need to wear more. I have been wearing my new Zara scarf with everything even if it doesn't match, lucky it matches really nicely with this jumper and jeans combo. I also tried it on with this statement necklace from Newlook. The jewels are slightly iridescent which matches the jumper perfectly.  I think it makes this outfit slightly smarter than my massive zara scarf. 
I cant wait to wear this outfit more and hopefully without a coat on when the weather gets a bit warmer! 

Did you get anything for Christmas that you cant stop wearing?
