Spring favouites.



I know a lot of people do monthly favourites, I for one love to see what my favourite Youtubers are loving for inspiration and recommendations, but for me I'm too committed to change it up every month. I've decided to bring together all the things I have been loving this season. My everydays and the things I've almost used up. This will be an on going thing through at the year so I hope you enjoy my seasonal round ups.

I think I'm going to start with a thing that represents a lot of other things. I have been loving reading 'The F Word' by Lily Pebbles. I don't always buy Youtubers books, because I'm not always interested about the subject even if I love them as a person. And if I bought every book that a youtuber brought out then I'd be a little poor. However, 'The F Word' really intrigued me. Female friendships are amazing. I know I rely on them everyday from my best uni friend to my sister. They are are not given enough credit, so a whole book to celebrates this is fantastic from my view. And you can't go wrong with some fun anecdotes on how she met her friends. They're pretty funny and I'll go into it more in my next book review post to round up my reads.  But this book also represents how much I have loved reading this year. I have really kept with it and I am determind to finish a New years resolution. Plus, keeping you updated here makes me wants to do it even more, because I don't want to have write in a post;"I failed". We can do this!


Okay, don't judge me but I got my eyebrows plucked for the first time a few weeks ago. The idea of someone plucking my eyebrows into oblivion has always put me off because I love my thick eyebrows and I'd look silly with the classic 90s look that other people can pull off. My uni best friend was the person I put my faith into. (See, female friendships are amazing) and poor her. She had a job making my brows look presentable, but she achieved the impossible. I am now far from Yetty land. But the thing that makes them presentable for the outside world is the Benefit foolproof brows. My brows are thick, but sparse so I use the lighter shade to fill them in. I love them! I think this is perfect for a brow novice as the powder is so natural and as long as you don't go in too heavy handed and its super easy. None of this precision faff stuff. I've never been this happy with my brows and I now 
depend on this product which speaks volumes. 

Winter is the time for many things. Jumpers and hot chocolate, but for me its the coming of the dry skin plague. I moisturise intensely  until the cows comes, but still those cold dry days will get me every time. I got this Lush moisturiser as a Christmas presents and I finished it last month which was so sad. This is a creamy moisturiser that is full of hydration and perfect for sensitive skin. I lathered this on everyday and it left me with soft moisturised skin. I've said the word moisturise too much, sorry. Anyway, I have been so impressed as a dedicated user of heavy duty coco butter. I definitely want to get more next winter.

On to style favourite. I've always been a little wary of trousers because I though for some reason that they wouldn't suit me, I don't know why. I bought these Asos Cigarette Trousers because they were navy and highwaisted so I eased myself in with my safety nets. I wear these every week! They were exactly what my Capsule Wardrobe was missing and the amount I wear them shows this. How did I live without these for so long?! They feature on my Instagram, so pop over there if you want to see how I style them, especially the Insta highlights that I have saved. I am going to do a whole post about them soon, because they deserve a whole post. Nothing sums up classy and chic like cigarette trousers and I am honestly obsessed with them to the point where they really need a wash, but I want to wear them again. I can't let go!

The last two items are a but random, but they deserve to be included. the first is this little cute postcard from Paperchase which represents how much I loved International Women's day. People really loved my Girl Power Post which made me so happy and humble. I have really learning how to feel confident about my self and have healthy view points. I have worked really hard and I'm excited to celebrate myself and all my amazing girlfriends who inspire me. Current affairs at the moment are miserable and very intimidating, so if we can learn to stand together and love each other then bit by bit we can make a positive contribution to the world. 

The second random thing is very random, so i'll keep it short. I am planning on doing a whole post on my house plants, (Yes, I am 70) about where I get them from and how I keep them alive. To be hoest I'm surprised I have kept them alive and that I've only had one casualty along the way. Minute of silence for the succulent I over watered.....My Swiss cheese plant has brought me so much happiness, because its beautiful and it represents a little achievement. (That its not dead). I know these are really popular at the moment, but I don't mind because they should be. I'm thinking about naming it so I'd love to hear any suggestions. 

And thus rounds up my Spring Favourites. I'll check in again in a few months with my next round of favourites, but for now here a few of my favourite blog posts from this year if you fancy a read. 














New Old shoes; 70s Asos shoes.


 I'm really trying to branch out in fashion. I do tend to stick to the same type of style as you know if you've seen any of my previous post, so I wanted to go for something new. I really love the 70s style from looking at people like Alexa Chung; I know that the 70s trend as been a while and I have been going along with the suede skirt that I really love, but I wanted to do more. However I get nervous that I will do something and look ridiculous as most people do at some point in their life.

When I saw these shoes I was really excited, because I knew they would be the thing to get the ball rolling. The shape of the shoes is nothing like I have ever had before and also the colour is gorgeous and really wearable. Even the heel makes me think of ABBA and Lava Lamps. The quality is just fantastic as they are from Asos. As much as I love Asos I would love if they came from a cool and hipster vintage shop on Brick Lane, but we can't have everything.

I can't wait to style these in a cool and new outfit. I think this year its all about incorporating the 70s in your style and not just trying to wear full on 70s, so I will be scrolling through Pinterest a lot. I was thinking they would look good with jeans, because getting in spring it seems more acceptable to wear opened toe shoes. 

Are you trying anything a bit different for a fashion trend?









Everyday Asos.


I love to show really simple everyday outfits on here in case it strikes a little inspiration which is something I love to get when reading other blog. This is a really casual outfit that I wear all the time. Last week my outfit was mostly Primark, but this week I wanted to talk about Asos.

Asos is a big love for me even though it's online, and I usually like to shop in person where I can try things on, but Asos is an exception. Their style and range is so cool! I love looking at their shoes and basically everything else, especially because they have a 70% off sale. I talked about my trench coat in my last post and I just have a simple polo neck top on from Nobody's Child. I love everything on Nobody's child as well. 

I am only 5'4 so I need my short jeans, which are not easily found in lots of shops. These jeans are comfy, affordable and short! I'm so happy that I bought them and while I was buying them I also came across a really cute headband. This is quite different for me, because I don't do a lot with my hair and this is not very subtle, so I'm quite proud that I just went for. 

I've already done a post about these shoes; it was at the end of last year and I raved and raved about them, but I haven't actually done many fashion post where I'm actually wearing them. They have defiantly lasted well since I wear them so much and threw places like muddy fields. (It wasn't the best idea I've had) 

Is there any shop that you love looking at?

Spring around the corner.




My sister and I love to adventure out and about, so we decided to do some outfit posts as I was wearing my new top from Boutique of Molly, which is perfect for spring even though it seems like spring is far away in this cold weather. 

                           


I think is outfit is very me, so I wanted to talk about it in a post. I was contacted by Boutique of Molly which is an online fashion brand that has a fab range of clothes to choose from. I bought this floral top with thin straps and a peplum design which is probably going to be my most worn item in spring. I know it's only January, but I like to think ahead. However even in January the pretty top was great with my leather jacket and favourite black jeans. 




The top is fitted in all the right places with the peplum flattering your stomach without it making it look bigger than it actually is. The pattern is so cute and flowery that it makes a simple and more mascurline outfit look pretty and feminine.



My other favourite part of the outfit is the robot bag from Accessorize. It's so funky! In 2015 my fashion resolutions were to wear more colour and to be more precise about what's in my wardrobe, but this year my plan is to have a few pieces that are really out there. The robot bag is a good example, because it makes a relatively normal outfit stand yet from the crowd. 
I would really recommend looking at Boutique of Molly's websiteas it's a cool and young vibe and also, because they are a relatively new website you won't be overwhelmed by the amount of clothes that others offer. I hope you have enjoyed this post.

Sparkle in winter.



Hello, I hope you are having a lovely day. I'm uploading now, because I had some technical difficulties with a card reader, but I have now resolved the issue. 
Last week I was scouring the internet as one does, because I decided I needed new shoes;  I asked my sister if I needed them and she said "you always need new sparkly shoes", so I went ahead and bought them,which is probably not true, but when I saw these I just knew that I would wear them all the time.

I was right! The black goes with everything and the style is really cute for every day and in the evening. Also, they are really comfortable which is a big plus for me as I have to do a lot of walking, so not getting blisters is a great thing. They were £25 and were completely worth it as I have worn them everyday for a week now to show that they really do go with everything.

I was afraid that the jewels on the front would not be totally secure, but the quality is unbelievable. However the fabric is satin which is not great in the rain, however they are really easy to keep clean and looking new. I would recommend these to anyone because Asos always gets it right. (You can tell I love Asos.) What are your favorite shoes?

My new autumn shoes.


 I am truly enjoying autumn and everything that comes with, but most of all I'm loving the fashion. I love the colours and comfyness of autumn clothes so I tend to keep to the same clothes. I really wanted to try something completely new.
I've been looking at some similar shoes on Asos but my sister came across these in Debenhams, so she very kindly bought them for me.

These leopard print shoes are not everyone's cup of tea and I wasn't even sure about them at first as I usually wear plainer clothes and avoid patterns. I decided to just go for it and push the boat out because I think fashion should be fun and a bit crazy. It should be who you are and for me that is crazy. 
I've been wearing these shoes for a week now and I love them even with the blister they gave me. They have made my black jeans and plain thin jumpers so much more interesting which is great in sixth form as I can express myself more now I don't wear uniform anymore.

I've never worn shoes from kurt Geiger before, so it was fun to try as I usually buy shoes from Primark as they get worn a lot! My feet no longer grow, do the only time I get get rid of my shoes is when they get ruined which happens more often then it should. I'm going to try hard to take care of these shoes because they were a present and I think they are pretty.

Have a lovely day.









 You can find them here at Debenhams.
