Recent buys!

I have recently been spending quite a bit of money on things that I tell myself I need. These are some of my favourite recent buys. 


I have wanted a cap for a while but haven't been able to find one I really like. I wasn't willing to pay over £20 for one as I know I wouldn't wear it all the time. Then I found this one in Matalan! At a very reasonable £12 I popped it into my basket feeling very happy with myself. I haven't worn it yet as is has done nothing but rain since I bought it, but hopefully I can wear it soon. 


I bought this top from Urban Outfitters in their fabulous sale. Not only was it a sale item but I also managed to still use my student discount card! For £9 it was definitely worth it, and its so soft! 


This is my favourite item that I have recently bought. I bought it from Topshop for £26 and I thought that was a great price. Its so comfortable and soft and you can dress it up with heels and a clutch bag, or dress it down with some tights and chelsea boots. 


This item is my bargain item. Originally from Topshop I thought it was going to be quite expensive but at an incredible £7.99 I couldn't resist. I bought it from The British Heart Foundation charity shop and my mother keeps trying to steal it, which means I have to wear it all the time!



I am not really the one to celebrate Halloween, I much prefer Christmas and New Year but I couldn't resist buying this munchkin pumpkin when I saw him. He is the tiniest little thing but I think he does the job. 


Finally I would like to wish everyone a Happy Halloween! I hope you all have fun trick or treating and dressing up!

Today, we wear pink!




Blazer: H&M - Top: Republic - Trousers: Topshop - Shoes: Matalan 
I don't know about you but I LOVE this outfit! I love the pink and the green and pretty much everything about the outfit. I bought the trousers last summer from Topshop and I adore them. They are so comfortable, the only issue is, I don't have a lot of tops to go with them. Go shopping I hear you say? That is just what I plan on doing when I go back to University in May!
Also, can we please take a moment to admire the detail of this lovely pink top! I'm not going to lie, the first time I wore this top, I put it on back to front. I soon realised and now wear it quite often.

A little bit of sunshine




Blazer: H&M - Shirt: New Look - Leggins: Topshop - Shoes: Matalan
It is sunny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) So I haven't shown you my new shirt yet so I thought I'd show it to you today. I love it! It is comfy and it looks good with jeans, leggings or a skirt. Today I wore it with my thick leggings I got from Topshop which are also amazing! I think this is going to be my new favorite outfit so you will be seeing these items a lot. I don't usually wear my hair up but it was rather warm to say its still February. Summer will be here soon and I can't wait to go shopping!!!!!  :)

August Favourites!

Moisturiser: Garnier Match at Boots - Jergens body moisturiser: Free with Magazine - Shoes: Matalan - Jeans: Baxter at Topshop
Hey there!
So I am sorry I haven't been posting much recently. I have been back at uni for just over a week now and haven't really done anything worth talking about. However, (and I know this is probably a bit overdue) I thought I would share with you some of my August favourites. Most of these items have not featured in my previous posts as they are relatively new.

Moisturiser: I have been using the Garnier Match Moisturiser for just over a month now and recommend it to everyone. This particular moisturiser is the 24 hour hydration illuminating light lotion. It is tested on sensitive skin so it is available for anyone.
Body Moisturiser: This Jergens body moisturiser I got free with the Marie Claire magazine (I think). I have heard that Jergens are quite good and so far I have no complaints. This particular cream is the ultra healing moisturiser that heals dryness.
Shoes: These shoes have featured in my previous posts quite a bit as I adore them. I bought them from Matalan in the sale and wear them all the time.
Jeans: Now, these jeans have to be my best buy ever! Originally priced at £40 in Topshop I was delighted when I walked in and they were the last in my size and only £10! I tried them on and they fit perfectly! They are now the second pair of jeans I own from Topshop and I am sure they will be loved just as much.

I hope everyone who is back at school is enjoying it, and those who are going to be starting University soon are looking forward to it.

Baggy Jumpers






Jumper: Edinburgh Woollen Mill - Jeans: H&M - Shoes: Matalan - Necklace: New Look
Hello dolls! I hope you are all enjoying this lovely weather! I took these pictures about a week ago when I was still at home. Since taking them I have come back to uni so haven't been able to put them up til now.
I was in the mood for winter so I decided to wear my green baggy jumper with a pair of jeans. At first it looked a bit boring so I added my eagle necklace to spice things up a little. I love this outfit mainly because the jumper is so soft and comfy. A definite must have this winter! 

Hope everyone is well!

Visit to Towneley Hall




Hey dolls! Sorry I haven't posted on here in a while, I have been so busy. My 4 year old cousin came up to visit us so we have been busy trying to entertain her. The other day we went to Towneley Hall in Burnley and it was so beautiful. These are just some of the pictures that I took whilst going round. 

Skirt: Topshop - Top: F&F at Tesco - Cardigan: New Look - Shoes: Matalan


Due to my not posting on here as often as I used to, I have decided to try and do an OOTD post to encourage me to post more often. I thought this one would be a good post to start of with as it was such a lovely day out. 

I hope you are all having a lovely week!

Coral and Green?








Cardigan: New Look - Top: Topshop - Trousers: Topshop - Shoes: Matalan - Earrings: Primark 
 Hello Lovelies!!!! So it turns out that I really am a techno-moron! Just when I think I understand something it turns out that it wasn't what I thought or that I hadn't done it properly. Thanks to my lovely sister though I am back on track! (Until the next time)

So I am loving these trousers that I bought from Topshop. Aren't they pretty!?!? When I was in the shop I had no idea what I was going to wear with them, but at £22 (£19.80 with 10% student discount) I just couldn't say no! I tried on a few things and decided on another Topshop item, my coral colour strap top and my cardigan from New Look. I wasn't sure if it looked right or not so I thought  I would let you decide.

To take our pictures, my sister and I decided seeing as it was a nice day to go to our little local park. The first picture we took under this huge tree which is why it is a bit shady. It is a lovely little park to take pictures or go for a walk so we thought we would make the most of it.

I hope you are all well and are having a good week so far. I am going back to uni in a few weeks so need to make the most of being at home. Anyone starting uni or going back this September?

Drip drip drop little August shower!






Jumper: Ark - Skirt: Primark - Shoes: Matalan

So this is probably my new favourite outfit!I bought it from Manchester the other day (see post here) and I absolutely love it. At first I didn't know what to wear with this skirt but when you look closely at it there are some lovely colours worked into it.

As you may know, I am a massive jeans person. However recently I have been trying hard to wear more skirts and dresses. So when I put my jeans on the other day I felt really strange! I don't know about where you guys are, but up here in the North the weather has been very wet and windy. I am a bit weird in that I love the smell of the rain and love listening to it when I am going to sleep.

Hope you are all doing well and are enjoying your holidays!

Comfort outfit




Cardigan: New Look - Cami Top: Topshop - Jeans: H&M - Shoes: Matalan

Today I opted for comfort over style. I wasn't going anywhere nice or doing anything in particular so I decided to wear my jeans, top and cardigan. Even though it has been wet and windy lately, it has still been warm. 

This top from Topshop was £15 and probably one of my favourites. I love the colour and the fabric and how it matches with pretty much everything I own. 

In other news I am off to Manchester tomorrow! That means more buys and more posts!

Spread your wings!







(I'm not sure why this picture has gone funny :( )


Shirt: Republic - Jeans: Topshop - Necklace: New Look - Shoes: Matalan


Today I was feeling very happy and girly so I decided to wear this lovely blouse from Republic. I didn't want to wear it with my skirt as I usually do so I tucked it into my jeans. It looked a bit boring on it's own so I added my Eagle necklace. It is one of my favourite necklaces because it is so beautiful and it can be used to dress an item up, or make something look more casual. 

We have had some amazing weather recently. I was woken up the other morning by a thunderstorm. Unlike most people I adore thunderstorms so I went and made a brew and sat in my window watching it. 

I hope everyone is enjoying the weather too and are having a good week!
