DRESS (WORN AS SKIRT), T-SHIRT & STUDDED FLATS - TOPSHOP / JACKET - ASOS


Definitely not sure on this outfit.. I saw somebody working a midi skirt and denim jacket at school a while ago and thought it looked great so had a go myself, but unfortunately I don't have a midi skirt and Primark didn't either, so I improvised! I chucked my favourite midi dress underneath but feel like maybe I need a skirt so I can tuck the top in slightly? I'm not sure. It's certainly fun experimenting with my clothes though, it's not something I do a lot!

I am officially on my Easter Holidays! Two whole weeks off to sleep, eat and blog. Oh, and revise for my 14 exams I have soon approaching :( Got some good news yesterday though, I managed a total of 49/50 on both of my Geography coursework pieces.. let's just hope I can live up to the family tradition and get my A* over all!

Hope you guys have a brilliant Easter, I personally can't wait to stuff my face with chocolate and crisps, I'm actually very surprised and proud that I managed to give both up for lent. Mum and I are making a super chocolaty dessert for Sunday.. anyone have any suggestions?

DORK TEE, DRESS & EARRINGS - PRIMARK / DISCO PANTS - ASOS / NAIL VARNISH & BRUSH - BOOTS / PRIMER & CONCEALER - BOOTS

I'm back from my revision/activity weekend away and on to scheduling posts again! I had so much fun while away, we stayed in a gorgeous Tudor home spending Friday, Saturday and Sunday revising and doing all sorts of activities like Archery and Blinded Trails. Although I wouldn't recommend opening a loft hatch when you're in a very old, creepy and possible haunted house!! But now it's back to work, work, work. I managed to get my Geography coursework done last week and on Friday I did my much dreaded French speaking exam and got an A! I'm just grateful I don't have to do it again! As always, I will apologise again for the lack of posts.. If I want a future I better start revising!!

The majority of these things I bought when I went to Westfield to buy my Prom shoes, eee! I wish I could show you them because they're gorgeous, but like my dress, I'm keeping everything under wraps until the night! I've already featured the disco pants in two OOTD posts and the dork tee is scheduled for one soon! I know a lot of people don't like these tee's but I love them, and for £4 I couldn't resist. They're simple, stylish, comfy and a fraction of Topshops price. I struggled to take a photo where I did the maxi dress justice, at just £16 I knew I had to buy it for summer. I love maxi dresses because I think they're so elegant and beautiful to wear at night, but are just as good in the day. I carried on my Barry M obsession and bought 2 more gelly's and 1 textured varnish. The earrings were simply a bargain. I got the brush because I wanted a proper buffing brush to apply my foundation and currently this one is great! I use the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation and seeing as the collection concealer was sold out, I thought I'd give this one a go. Finally, I bought the primer after seeing a few people buying various ones and deciding I should try some, review on this soon!!


I'm Loving.. Dungarees!

Saturday, 23 March 2013

1/2/3/4/5/6

I am totally in love with the current Dungarees trend. Although I already have myself a pair from last Summer, I think I may have to purchase some new ones. I think they're great with blouses underneath, but my favourite way of wearing them has to be with crop tops, it's such a casual look and reminds me a bit of a painter (?!?!), in a good way, of course. I also really love how you can get some to look super smart like number 5 which are perfect for office wear, I can see it working beautifully with a blouse underneath, a clutch and heels! I currently have a saved search for dungarees on ebay because you can find some gorgeous vintage ones for a fraction of these prices!

Review: The Body Shop Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask

Thursday, 21 March 2013


I love a good face mask, and I'm not really sure why I've only ever bought the one-use packets. Before Christmas I did a massive haul on the Body Shop website for Christmas gifts and a few bits for myself. This clay mask claims to cleanse skin and control excess oil by refreshing, clarifying and drawing out impurities. The product itself is quite thick but easy to spread over the skin and only needs to be thin. It smells lovely great too.You can instantly see all your pores when it's applied. It dries within 10 minutes to form a hard mask, some don't like masks that harden like this, I however, aren't bothered. After this time you simple wash it off with a flannel and luke warm water. It comes off fairly easily but can leave my flannel pretty dirty which can be annoying if it's just been washed. The results after using the mask is instant. My face feels soft instantly, doing a job any moisturiser would, and pores along with blackheads have disappeared or reduced. I use it once a week, normally only ever after I bath at the weekends.. it's when I like to relax and pamper myself! However it recommends you use it once to twice a week.

Overall I think this is a great product and does exactly what it claims to. My skin improves instantly. It is slightly more on the pricey size but I think that's purely because it's a tub and will last a good few months.

What's your favourite face mask?

Ebay Wishlist #2

Tuesday, 19 March 2013


CROPPED BOUCLE JACKET / FLORAL TROUSERS / FLORAL JUMPER / QUILTED SLEEVES COAT / BOW HAIRBAND / LACE SHORTS

The third of my Ebay wishlist's. I have been wanting one of this leather sleeve coats for a while now but I just think it's far too late to get one and I doubt I'd get enough wear out of it, however if I'm still dying to get one next Winter I've promised myself I will splurge out. I la la laaaarve this floral jumper, I've seen them around recently and they're just so pretty and look fab dressed up or down. I'm considering getting some bold trousers this Spring because I'm not usually 'out there' with what I wear and I don't like to stand out too much, but maybe I should start taking a few more risks!!
