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!

Photography | Bedroom Edition I

Hello, 

So I was messing around with my tripod and new lights and this photos sort of emerged. 

It's just me and my housemates having a laugh. 

I think I/We have managed to capture some lovely moments. 

The lighting changes throughout so apologies for lack of continuity, but I just love the sentiment behind these photos: carefree and a lot of fun!

Lifestyle & Photography | The Breakfast Club

Hello, 

Last weekend my mum came to London to visit. 

I decided to take her to 'The Breakfast Club' ...for breakfast (obviously). 

There are a few in London, but we went to the one in Angel because I had been before, and because Camden Passage (in Angel) is just so beautiful (see photos).

I had amazing French Toast with banana and bacon and my mum had a sausage sandwich. She had tea and a smoothie and I had a hot chocolate. 

Yummy.

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.

Beauty | Spring Beauty Look II

Hello everyone, 

This is my second 'Spring Beauty' blog post. I thought I'd post another as my look today was rather different. I went for quite neutral eye-makeup, but bold eyebrows and big red lips. I also left my hair to dry naturally and then added some Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray to add some texture. I will do a review of this spray soon. I used it for the first time today and think it is simply super. 

Today the products I used were:

Bodyshop Vitamin E BB Cream

I had to use quite a lot to get a good coverage, but it has lasted all the day. 

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Medium Plus

This is the powder I wear everyday. I should probably experiment with new powders, but this just really works for me!

Mac Sheertone Blush in Sincere

As I have said in a previous blog, this colour is so great. It is like a midway colour between blush and bronzer and just great for Spring if you don't want anything too heavy. 

Mac Sheertone Blush in Fleur Power

A really nice bright girly colour. 

No7 Eyeshadow in Starry Lights

I didn't even know I had this colour. It is a light shimmery gold and worked really well today by itself for a more natural look.
Maybeline 'The Collossal Volume Express' Mascara
I got this mascara in a drugstore in America. I assume they sell it in the UK too. It's super. It makes eyelashes bold and thick. 

Chanel Sculpting Brow Pencil in Brun

This pencil is great. It is quite soft so blending is quite easy. It has lasted all day on my brows. 

Mac Lipliner

It's always good to use a liner before applying lipstick, especially, I think, with a bright colour.

Mac Lipstick in Russian Red

This is my favourite Mac lipstick. It goes on quite matte and certainly sticks. I find that I don't have to reapply a lot throughout the day (just after meals and snacks!)

I am going to do a more detailed blog about The Bodyshop BB Cream, but I hope this look has inspired some of you to be bold with your lipstick. It's a great way to complete a look. 

Lifestyle | My Blog

Hello, 

I already have a mental health awareness blog over on www.rosiebrownfightingstigma.wordpress.com.
 This blog is specifically focused on erasing stigma associated with mental illness. Although this is my primary passion I also wanted to create a more girly blog which dealt with all the other areas of my life. 

Yes I live with depression, but yes I have lots of other passions and interests!

I have recently graduated from Cambridge University and am currently training to be an actor at Mountview Academy in London.

Sometimes life gets a little intense at drama school so it's nice to have a little personal space on the internet to explore and express my other interests. I am obsessed with reading and I love collecting vintage classic literature. I am definitely going to post some book reviews and recommendations. Obviously I love the theatre and anything performance related; I also love films and going to the cinema.

I like make-up, skincare and clothes. In that respect I am a girly girl. I am also a feminist. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Let's fight that stereotypical image of feminists as hairy, bra-burning women!

I have just bought myself a Canon 600D and want to learn how to take photographs properly. I will be posting blogs with a nice lot of photos in them; either of products or clothes I have bought or more general photographs documenting my days (kind of photo blogging!)
