Pinky florals

For me i think this summers colour is pink. I cant get enough even though im not particularly pink person especially not one who wears pink patterns. That really goes against my usual plain blue and grey colour palette, but I've decided not to be so boring.

I borrowed this scarf from my lovely sister and im glad I did as it rained most of the day when we visited Gunby Hall which is a beautiful National Trust property in Lincolnshire. I hoped the floral scarf would make my simple quite predictable outfit.

This outfit is predictable because I always seem to wear this trench coat in blog posts however i am redeeming myself by wearing a colour that isn't blue. Yay, finally. I always associated pink with little girls as its the colour I wore most as a child even though my parents didn't want to enforce gender stereotypes I would always choose pink. So when i was going through my early teens pretending that I was all grown up I tended to avoid pink because "mum, I'm not 7 anymore"...blah blah blah...other stupid things i said as a twelve year old.

Another thing about this outfit is the denim skirt which look quite effortless and also hides how worn that white shirt is. When I love something I really do love it to death.Hopefully wearing more summery colours will give a new life to my wardrobe.

Do you plan on wearing anything new this summer?

It's my birthday!

Just a little post today as today is my 17th birthday. I have been a very lucky lady presents wise and I am so grateful yo my amazing family and friends who spoiled me. I'm excited to be able yo start learning to drive soon and that I can move on from being 16. The age of 16 brought personal difficulties and I don't that found it hard to be 16 but that the last year has been hard and and a little heartbreaking sometimes. 

But I faced it and am currently dealing with it so today I can celebrate getting through another year. Anyway I just wanted to say how grateful I am to the people who have helped me. And thank you to anyone who reads my blog. I love you all!

Review: Benefits's They're real mascara.

I've been meaning to do this review for a while now, but I haven't quite round to it. But today I have the day off so I decided to faff around with flowers which is very production I know, but hopefully these pictures look pretty. I haven't done a close up on my eyes like reviews usually do because my eyeliner wasn't on fleek and I didn't want my poor skills to reflect badly on the amazing product. These things always seem to cheer me up; maybe because they are highest and are that bit more special or the fact that my eyes go from boring to Hello! 

I'll start with the mascara. This mascara is defently not a subtle products. It makes an impact by thickening and darkening lashes. (Trying not to quote the packaging) but I do love the statistics on the box as I much more likely to be convinced if they have statistics. Im a sucker for them. When used the mascara for the first time I expected the applicator to be big and thick like other volume mascaras but it was surprisingly average, but I think that just improves the application so you don't over load your lashes with clumps.
And it lasts all day but the only negative I have is when I tried to get it off I had to really rub my eyes which isn't ideal. It could have been my cleanser that wasn't up to it though.

The eyeliner. I was a little more interested in this product as I've never owned one that has that kind of applicator. I don't know how to describe it, so it's like a pen but at an angle is the best I can do. Again like the mascara it lasts all day and doesn't smudge when you rub your eyes!
I rubbed my eyes in a exam I had recently and spent the whole time trying avoid eye contact with the invigilator because I thought I'd smeared black all around my eyes, but in the end my eyes were still on point and i just probably looked very suspicious in the exam hall. Typical me.
However I would say that it takes some practice to get the hang of the different applicator, but once you get it right you will look amazing!

What products make your day?

Je ne sais pas ce que je pensais

Well I've done it. I've given in to a fashion trend. This is one of the last trends that I thought that I would go for. I mean I'm not 6ft and I'm not a beanpole in size. Why on earth would I go for short think trousers when my legs are already short and thick?! But I did it. I've decided that sometimes life is too short to care about what people think, so I went out and got these high waisted culottes from Primark. I think they were about £10 (don't quote me on that) which is a bargain.

I knew that I had to have high waisted ones otherwise my legs would look so short and they are short anyway, but I think that they don't look too bad. They have elastic around the waist which I appreciated after going for a scrumptious afternoon tea in a beautiful village in the Lincolnshire wolds. The whole tea shop is so vintage and cute which was wonderful as we were celebrating my Mum's birthday. So the culottes served me well in everyway. 

I've had this stripped top for a long time because you can't go wrong with a classic stripped t-shirt. Pairing the navy blue culottes with a stripped top made me feel a little Parisian so I couldn't resist a red lip which is very unusual for me. Everything in the outfit is from the marvellous Primark except for my trusty Accesserize bag. (I really need to control my navy blue addiction.) Well techniquely the shoes are not navy blue but dark blue in my defence and you may be able to see my faded Henna on my feet if you look carefully.

I would recommend trying some culottes even if you thought they weren't for you because I love wearing them now even though the thought scared me and my little short legs.  So if you want to wear something just go for it!! 

What things do you put off wearing?
