Feeling fresh, Feeling new

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?

What I got for Christmas 2013

Happy New Year! Sorry I have been away from the whole blogging world recently. With Uni work and my job, I really haven't had time to blog about anything. Ive also not had anything interesting to blog about!

Start January, I will have more to blog about and will get back into the swing of things. Plus I have a lot of exciting things happening so plenty of OOTD posts will be up! I thought a good first post back of 2014 should be a "what I got for Christmas" post. Obviously this is not me trying to 'show off' or brag at all about what I have received this year. I am so super grateful and lucky to have been spoiled rotten this year! Plus I love reading these posts.

Firstly I got my trusty Lea Stafford hair growth products, I swear by these and they have really helped with my hair growing out. I also got some Gilly Hicks pj shorts which I have lived in since I got them, I love the tartan pink combo and the cute little bow! Getting Converse was such a surprise for me as I have always wanted them yet been too scared to buy the pink ones, I cant wait to wear these for sumer with little dresses and shorts.

I already have this Newlook jumper in pink as was so happy to receive it in this gorgeous baby blue colour, It matches perfectly with my new zara scarf! I love it so so much, even though my dad thought it was a blanket to start! Its so warm and cosy to wear. Another zara present was my mini office bag in burgundy. I have not stopped using this since Christmas, its just the perfect size for me.

Also from newlook I got this beautiful statement necklace which also matches the jumper really well, I cant wait to wear this on nights out or just to sparkle up an outfit. I was so happy and grateful to receive these next 2 gifts. I told my mum I really wanted the Lancome star mascara and she got it for me in a gift set with eyeliner and Bi-Facil makeup remover. I really love it so far and it makes my eyelashes look amazing! I also got the Enrapture jumbo waver which I really like using to make my pony tail more voluminous.

These last 2 presents were from my boyfriend. As my birthday is in a few weeks (I can't believe i'm going to be 21!) He decided to join the 2 together. I firstly got this gorgeous Swarovski necklace which I've had my eye on all year. My main present from him was this 2014 diary with unicorns on, he told me to flick through to June - A holiday to Portugal was written in! I am so lucky I cant wait to be relaxing on the beach in a few months time! 

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a safe New Year! 

I can't wait for what 2014 has in store.

What did you all get for Christmas? 

ZANTE13

| Jumpsuit Newlook £5 Sale | Crop top Topshop Shorts Primark | Crop top Newlook Shorts Primark | Bikini Topshop |

As you might of noticed, I was slightly absent the past few weeks. Last week I was lucky enough to go to Zante with my friends. It was a great time to be able to relax and enjoy the gorgeous sunshine! (it was around 30-40 degrees) I ate good food and had a laugh with my girls. I wish I could go back and i'm defiantly planning my next holiday for the end of summer now.

Are you going on holiday soon?

HOLIDAY HAUL

 The weather has well and truly put a downer on my mood, so as I'm home I thought I would take the opportunity to go shopping with my mum. I have been building up my little holiday collection for a while now and finally think I have enough. I think there's sill a couple more things I need either to arive or order then i'm done! 

None of this stuff is too expensive, I am going to Zante so I doubt any of this is going to stay decent for long. The majority of it has come from primark and H&M. I really love H&M for their basic range, its such good quality for the price too. 

As I put in my last post i've been trying to find some ray bans however found these pretty good copies from primark for £1. I can't complain however my mission to find cheap real ones continues! 

I also have stocked up on my mini toiletries, I don't really need these as I'm taking a suitcase, but I'm only going for a week so don't really need to bring massive bottles with me, plus I think they're so much more cute the smaller they are, just me?

I really need the sunshine to come out or i might just move to another country! 

Hope you all have a lovely easter

FEBRUARY HAUL

As I think I've mentioned in almost every post recently, I have been in super uni mode. Thankfully a deadline has been extended so I can relax a tad, but the majority of my easter break will consist of work, work and probably more work (so unfair) This month I have been able to do a little shopping in my breaks, mainly summer clothes because I'm so looking forward to a holiday with my girlies! 

| Jeans H&M £15 | Top Topshop £10 | Top Hollister £6.50 Sale | Bikini Topshop £30 |

I am really enjoying wearing these jeans, I think they're so different and super comfy! I think they're going to be a great piece to wear over spring with a white tee. The two crop tops are mainly to wear in summer with shorts but I have worn the grey one with disco pants on a night out which I really like. This Bikini was in a recent wish list and I'm so glad I bought it, the fit is amazing, I love the style and the colours are amazing. This is perfect for my trip to Zante! 

| Bag Social Discount £19.99 | Makeup bag TKmax £5 | Bourjois Paris Volume mascara £5.99 Offer | La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat £13 | Body Shop Born Lippy Watermelon Gift | OPI Nothin' Mousie 'Bout It £5 |

This bag I recently bought from Social discount Network, this site defiantly worth a look. I love the colour and style. It seems to go with everything I wear at the moment, and is a nice break from my massive Zara shopper bag.

This makeup bag was bought knowing I'm going home soon and holiday soon so i need a nice compact makeup bag to keep everything secure. I saw this in TKmax reduced and I really like the mock ostrich effect, for £5 you cant really go wrong. 

The mascara was on offer in superdrug and I bought it purely because it was cheeper than my normal mascara (soap and glory) however, It has become my new favourite. I really like the application and brush, my eyelashes seem to be nicely separated and fanned out. Im defiantly going to purchase this again. 

I have heard a few reviews on the Effaclar Mat and I'm hoping it works on my skin, I want perfect skin for holiday, fingers crossed! and finally this OPI nail varnish is beautiful! I bought it off Pasha's Fashion blog (HERE) blog sales she's got at the moment, its defiantly worth a look. 

Phew, that was a long post. Hopefully I'll be posting a few ootd's and reviews on these products soon. 

Hope you've all had a lovely week! 

SUMMER WISH LIST

Im off to Zante with my friends in June and I'm so so so excited! Im looking forward to no uni, sun and a week off. Obviously I am going to need a few new items for the holiday as I don't seem to have much for holidays. These few things are a staple for going away as they are versatile and practical.
