Fashion | I'm feeling blue Topshop

Hello, 

I thought I would do a brand focus blog. 

I am loving Topshop at the moment, particularly all the BLUE pieces. 

I thought I'd gather together all my favourite items together into a sort of look book.

Sometimes it's so difficult to know where to begin when you walk into a packed store, or begin to browse on the internet. 

I hope the items I have selected help give you an idea about what's in store at the moment, and some inspiration when it comes to putting pieces together. 

There is 2 full outfits here; and the accessories can mix and match together. The earrings go particularly well with the bag and the silver necklace would look great with the shoes. 

The plain top would work great with the shorts as they are a busy print. The simplicity of the top allows you to layer necklaces over the top. 

Chunky Sole Heels £46

Bleach Floral Mom Shorts £32

Crop Overlay Dress £65

Scoop Neck Vest £18

Disc Earring £6.50

Blue Brood £6

Luggage Bag £34

Sodlite Necklace £12.50

River Blue Sunglasses £16

Haul | H&M

Hello, 

So I don't usually do a lot of shopping in H&M; perhaps a couple of pieces each Summer, usually for a holiday. However this year I have found myself in there several times, and have LOVED what's in store. 

I have made a haul video, which is in no way showing off, but an opportunity for you to see some of the pieces that I picked up, and a chance to see what's in stores at the moment.

H&M is really great value; I'd say sometimes the prices are similar to Primark (you just have to look carefully to find some bargains). My go to store for Summer is always Topshop, but this year I am working with a tight student budget and I think I have managed to buy at least twice the amount in H&M. 

Here is a link to my Haul Video. 

Please  like and subscribe if you like it; I am still quite new to Youtube!

Beauty | Mac Maleficent Collection

Hello, 

I am so so excited about the Mac Maleficent Collection. 

It combines 3 of my great loves: Angelina Jolie, Disney and Mac. 

Mac has brought this iconic villain to life, ready for the release of this Summer's epic new film. 

The new disney film has inspired a limited-edition colour collection, in specially designed packaging, which for me, really makes the collection. 

I intend to buy the whole collection, but to start me off I have bought the nail varnish in 'Uninvited', the lipstick in 'True Love's Kiss', and the lipgloss in 'Anthurium'. 

The packaging is so amazing! Each item has 'Maleficent' printed on it in a fantastic font and the iconic wings. I think I'll also keep the boxes as they too have the design printed on them. 

I've just applied the nail varnish and it looks lovely. It's a great neutral tone with a subtle sparkle. 

The lipstick and lipgloss also have a subtle sparkle to them. They are both highly pigmented and such a delicious red! I will do a make-up look with them soon, so check back!

Beauty | Neutral & Mature Make-Up

Hello, 

So I went to see 'Miss Saigon' in the West End, which was absolutely fantastic by the way, and I wanted to go for a more neutral and mature look (not sure why, just fancied it!)

I blow-dried my hair roughly and loosely so it looked as natural as possible. I always think it looks better this way, though sometimes I find this look difficult to achieve - it either ends up too casual and messy or overly straight. I'm happy with how it turned out on this particular occasion. 

I wore a very simply pale eyeshadow (No7), but still emphasised my brows. I used my Bobbi Brown brow pencil in 'Blonde', as it creates a softer, more natural look. 

I did my base as usual (Mac foundation, Mac Mineralise Powder, Mac Bronzer and Mac Blusher), but used extra highlighter (Benefit) to create a light and airy feel. 

I then used Mac lipstick in 'Faux'. I bought this colour for my graduation, as it is quite similar to my own lip colour and I didn't want anything which would stand out too much. It's perfect for when I want to create a simple, clean look. 

In the photos I am wearing- 

Necklace: Primark

Lifestyle | What's in My Bag?

Hello, 

I have just started making Youtube Videos. 

I love shooting them and the editing process afterwards. 

At the moment I am just making videos for fun and as a hobby, but you never know where these things end up. 

This is my first proper video on my new channel. 

I hope you all enjoy it. 

If you have a Youtube Account it would be so great if you could like/comment/ subscribe. 

Thanks.

Lifestyle | Milkmaid Braid

Hello, 

Today I was inspired by the beautiful Zoella. 

She recently did a blog about the 'Milkmaid Braid' and I decided to give it a go. 

I thought my hair might have been too short for the Milkmaid braid, but it worked wonderfully. 

The plaits didn't quite cross over at the top of my head, but with some careful pinning, it all stayed put and looked rather pretty. 

All you need to do is divide you hair in two sections and do two 'regular plaits'. Then secure them. I then secured mine with a 'no snag' transparent hair ties from Primark. You then literally just pick up the plait and pin it to the sides of your head. It takes a bit of work making sure the pins are hidden, but the whole look didn't take me any more than five minutes. 

A great, quick fix for your hair.
