I am seriously loving my time off school. I'm so excited to have the best summer ever!! I have a busy week this week of another birthday celebration and PROM! Not only am I excited about those, but the lovely Kate from kateswardrobex is designing a new blog layout for me! As much as I love mine currently, I feel like I need a change and refresh, and I want to go back to the simple, minimum layout look. I've considered changing my url to 'fashionsgreatescape' as I've had it saved for a while although I'm still not 100% sure what direction I'm going to be going in with my blog and I feel like if I make my url fashion based it restricts me to posting other things I enjoy like beauty and lifestyle. What do you think?

Revision free haul!

As mentioned in my OOTD post on Monday, recently I popped to town for a well needed shopping spree. I hadn't been shopping in something ridiculous like 5 to 6 weeks! It's safe to say I was shopping deprived!! Here's what i got..

CROP TOP, NECKLACE & RINGS - TOPSHOP // HEART RING - RIVER ISLAND // FOUNDATION, BLUSH & LIPSTICK - SUPERDRUG

I was super happy to find out the sales were on and I managed to pick up some beauties from Topshop, the crop top cost me only £8 and it was something I originally wanted when it was first released! I am a massive of Topshop jewellery but I'm a girl who would rather buy clothes than accessories and can never justify Topshops prices, so whenever theres a sale I'm straight to the jewellery stand! I first picked up these lovely simple coloured rings which come in silver, gold, rose gold and black, but for some reason the black one is way smaller than the rest! The other thing I picked up was this gorgeous necklace, it's a beautiful neon orangy pink rose with crystals and spikes. I also got a cute thumb ring from River Island, although I'll probably wear it as a normal ring!

Onto beauty, the main thing I went into superdrug to get was the much raved about Bourjous foundation! I also wanted to try out the cream blushes so I picked up one of those in Nude Velvet and lucky for me Bourjous were having 3 for 2 so I picked up a lipstick in Shade 10. It's a super bright red with a hint of orange in it, I'm not a massive lippy fan and this is way too bright for me, so it's definitely one that I'll just prance around the house in pretending to be Marilyn Monroe until I'm able to apply it properly and look average! I then went to boots and picked up another pair of fake eyelashes and a La Roche Posay Moisteriser. I'm not 100% sure on what one it is, only that it helps with redness! I realised as I went to find the link for this that I picked up a different one to the one I had planned to get! Oops! None the less, I'm loving it at the moment! Finally I got a Garnier Make-up remover and toner as they were on two for one! I've heard a lot of good things about the make-up remover so of course I had to give it a go myself!

Would you like to see any reviews on these things?

Summer loving

EMBELLISHED HIPSTER BIKINI - ASOS / ANCHOR BIKINI - SAINSBURYS

As Summer is approaching, it's time to find myself some new bikini's which will only have a week's wear because England doesn't get any sun, but nonetheless I need some! I tend to go with cheap and cheerful bikini's, purely by the fact I'll only wear it a few times, no-one will see me when I'm abroad and they'll soon be ruined by chlorine and suncream. I've decided to be a bit daring and buy some of these hipster style bottoms which are in this year, normally I wouldn't have bought some but this coral bikini from Asos was just too beautiful to ignore. I also got this simple anchor one from Sainsburys because it was cheap and does the job well! Normally I buy Primark jobbies because any make of bikini, expensive or not, will eventually discolour and stretch before long!! I also find H&M do a beautiful job!! 

Maybe I'll get drunk again

DENIM JACKET - ASOS // CHECKED SHIRT - RIVER ISLAND // LEGGINS - H&M // CONVERSE - OFFICE

Very tramp-like outfit post today, but weirdly I love it! This was from Saturday when I popped to town with Alice just to relieve myself from my months of no shopping as revision has been the priority!! I managed to bag myself a few bargains in the topshop sale and also got a few make-up bits including the much raved about Bourjous foundation! I'm thinking of doing a haul post sometime in the next week or so because I'd love to share with you what I got!

A little life update..

I'm always a little reluctant to do lifestyle posts as this is a fashion and beauty blog after all, but I feel like it's nice to keep all my followers updated with everything that's happening right now and these last few months have been very eventful so it's time to share!!

First of all, yesterday my summer officially began after I finished my final exam!! All 14 are over and done with and I now have 10 weeks of fun and revision-free! It's such a relief to be free and not having to worry or stress about anything now. I put a lot of work into my exams and I'm hoping for good results to get into Sixth Form, now it's just a waiting game!

Secondly, on Thursday I travelled all the way to High Wycombe to attend The Wanted's 'An Audience With The Wanted' event. As you probably already know (especially if you follow my twitter) I am a massive fan for The Wantd and have been for the last 3 years, I've realised now that it's not just one of those 'phases'. Both fortunately and unfortnately, I chose the life of a fangirl and I'm stuck with it!! Anyway, the night involved a question and answer session, a short film of the boys journey over the last 3 years and an acoustic performance. I was lucky enough to ask the boys a question and get a quick hug and kiss from Jay and Siva! Here's my picture, although it's pretty bad!

Siva, Jay (my favourite!), Me, Tom, Max and Nathan

This was my 3rd time of meeting the boys apart from Jay who I was lucky enough to bump into in Nottingham after one of their gigs last year!! I could honestly write so much about these boys because they mean the absolute world to me and have taught me many life lessons. It's strange how one boyband can mean so much to you, I never expected to be just another one of those many teenage fangirls!

I was a little naughty considering I went to that instead of revising for my Further Maths exam the next day, but hey, who even likes math anyway?!

As for what's yet to come, I have a lot of exciting things to happen! This weekend I'm celebrating my best friends 16th, on Tuesday I'm off to Westfeild to spend my birthday money, in 2 weeks I have my prom and then hopefully I have weeks of sun, sleep and just generally enjoying my time off! I'm especially excited for my prom, I'll definitely feature a post on here because I can't wait to show you all my dress!!

I hope you found that little update interesting, let me know if you'd like to see more lifetsyle posts on here! What exciting things have you guys got to look forward to?
