Fudge Urban Beauty Collab

Hey girls, asif its march already, where has the time gone? Im writing this post to share my new found favourite hair products which I was lucky enough to recieve from the lovely Sandy at Pz Cussons Beauty...

My new favourite hair brand is Fudge Urban, which I recieved a lovely package of goodies consisting of 4 of their amazing products, I had briefly heard of the brand before but had never tried out any of their products so this was exciting for me..

Pretty Little Secret Lingerie Collab

Its nearly valentines day and whats better than recieving the most beautiful valentines package from a lovely lingerie brand...

In collaboration with the lingerie brand "Pretty Little Secret" , I was lucky enough to recieve a beautiful lingerie nightwear bodysuit from their valentines collection to feature on my blog. If you girls are after the perfect lingerie or nightwear for this valentines then be sure to check out their website and social media pages... 

I recieved the "Lucy Teddy" which is this beautiful lace detailed bodysuit with a cross over back detailing. The red colour is the perfect nightwear attire for valentines day and the lace detailing gives it the extra stunning racy look. If you prefer a different look to red, the "Lucy Teddy" is also stocked in black too, which is also beautiful..

I recently came across "Pretty Little Secret" on instagram and noticed their beautiful range of lingerie products, especially with valentines day around the corner. It was so nice to speak to the lovely owner Zoe Butterworth about her brand.. Seen as though there are so many lingerie brands, its lovely to find out what makes the brands special and I asked Zoe what her inspiration was to start up "Pretty Little Secret"...

"My inspirations of starting up was because I basically want every girl to feel amazing and comfortable in their lingerie, I know how uncomfortable I have felt myself, so I wanted to build a brand to help all women to feel amazing... The same way I do now with these pieces. I have got some of them myself and it has given me a confidence boost, it really helps."

I was really happy to recieve this bodysuit as I totally agree with Zoe about the amazing confident feeling that comes with nice lingerie, I think lingerie is one of the favourite things every girl loves to purchase!

The "Lucy Teddy" which I recieved is £15.00 which includes free postage and packaging, which is really good price as some lingerie prices are really high, and for the comfort and quality of this, I would highly reccomend buying girls, if your after the perfect nightwear bodysuit..

Or if your after a lingerie set or other nightwear products, there are plenty to choose from on their page, all at really good prices...

Hot-Mess Wishing

Hey girls, anyone else been totally crushing over HotMess? This is soo not ideal when Im "trying" to save my money up but I cant stop stalking the website and instagram on the gorgeous new collections, I literally want everything... 

Ive put together some items which Im totally loving and urging to get from the new collection, this crushing will probably grow so much more when the "BabyMilk" range is launched; anyone else see the photos of the unbelieveable models on the shoot, depressing or what?

I literally cant stop eyeing up these stone colours, how perfect are they? Ive had my eye on these zip knee leggings since I first seen them and I cant wait to eventually buy them, perfect outfit is these styled with the white roll neck jumper, which Ive seen on a few bloggers and they look amazing together.. Ive also spotted this suede one shoulder dress which is available to pre-order, I love it, I just need somewhere to go as an excuse to purchase it! 

1. Stone Zip Knee Leggings

2. White Roll Neck Top

3. Stone One Shoulder Dress

 Next, Im totally pink crushing.. I dont tend to go for pinks usually but these colours are adorable. Im a total lover of jumpers so all of these I love.. The roll necks are perfect for a cold day with the zip knee leggings and this off the shoulder jumper dress would look perfect with some high knee boots..

1. Off The Shoulder Jumper Dress

2. Multiway Jumper

3. Roll Neck Top

This colour has to be one of my favourites at the minute, especially to end the winter season in style. I love the matte bronze leggings, especially the leather look, which is one of my fave looks at the minute. These biker style leggings with either of these jumpers will look perfect.. Im also totally loving bronze/beige coloured trainers at the minute, I cant stop crushing on them, they would look amazing with these outfits.

1. Taupe Boyfriend Jumper

2. Matte Bronze Biker Leggings

3. Taupe Grandad Knitted Jumper

Last of the trends which Im loving is the shark/grey colours. The zip knee leggings in the shark colour are a perfect substitute to the stone colour. Both of these jumpers styled with the shark leggings would give the perfect look and a similar but different approach to the pink outfit styled. 

1. Shark Zip Knee Leggings

2. Grey Multiway Jumper

3. Grey Boyfriend Jumper

If I purchase any of these sometime soon, they will sure be featured on my instagram account:

Blue Vanilla

Hey everyone, just a short post today showcasing my christmas outfit..

Isnt it so tough to find the perfect outfit for christmas day? I struggled so much when I was trying to find an outfit. I had bought some black leather pants from River Island so I had half of my outfit ready, and I was really fancying a mustard coloured top to style with them, the problem was that I couldnt find the right one anywhere..

I came across this beaut top from Blue Vanilla and I adore it, its one of my new favourites, and it was even better that I ordered it with standard delivery and it came the next day!

Although I loved my outfit, I am soo annoyed that I couldnt get some really good photos to blog with.. I literally took so long to get ready on christmas day, my parents were waiting on me for ages; which explains the really bad photos as we were in a mad rush.. Even though the photos arent the best, I just had to blog this outfit, I love it.

I was really suprised when buying this top, it was meant to be around £25.00 including postage, and at the checkout it discounted my price by around 15% which made my purchase £19.00, so I was really happy about this, and the fact it was delivered next day was amazing!

The material is also perfect and such a nice fit, I reccomend this top if your looking for the perfect mustard colour!

Top: Blue Vanilla £22.00

Leather Pants: River Island: £45.00

Christmas Beauty Bits

I hope youse have all had a lovely christmas and are looking forward to the new year! I wanted to write this post to share my favourite beauty bits I recieved this christmas.. Im also looking to purchase some new cosmetics if anyone has any suggestions?

First of all, I will start with these absolutely amazing make up brushes.. I usually use the Real Techniques core collection, however when Ive tried these Lancome brushes out, they are the best ones I have used yet, theyre so smooth and high quality. I would reccomend these to anyone, theyre amazing.

Festive Glamour

Hey girls, wow its been so long since Ive written a post, Ive missed blogging! Ive literally been so so busy and havent had time to blog! I thought I would write a short post about my weekend outfit which I wore on saturday, which is so glitzy and glam, I love it!

I would usually post this onto my DaintyLou Boutique blog, however as their website is closed over christmas, Ive took the opportunity to showcase this on my own blog..

This dress is my absolute favourite at the minute, Ive had my eye on it ever since I modelled it in the summer, and seen as though I needed a saturday night outfit, I jumped at the chance to purchase it, and even better that I got it on sale for £9.00.

Balmain X H&M

Im sure its not just me thats totally crushing on the Balmain X H&M Collaboration, and even better that it launches in 4 days! Ive been browsing the collection and have put together some looks that can be created from mixing and matching these beaut pieces..

Im looking at the collection as though I am going to own the majority of it, when In reality, its soo unlikely: 1. Im saving and 2. The last H&M designer collaboration sold out within a half hour.

A girl can only dream...

 This black and gold look is perfect, because this fitted top has so much detail with the embellished braiding and the gold trims, the rest of the outfit only has to be minimal depending on the look your after. However I love this full look, so these black silk suit trousers are so well paired. Along with the leather strappy sandal heels and the gold jewellery addition.

 Fitted Top: £79.99

Silk Suit Trousers: £59.99

Strappy Heels: £119.99

Gold Ring: £12.99

Gold Cuff: £49.99

"Fashion Fades, Style Is Eternal" - Yves Saint Laurent

I was lucky enough to take part in a trip with Teesside University to the amazing Yves Saint Laurent; Style Is Eternal Exhibition at the Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle last night, So I wanted to share my thoughts on the exhibition with you guys!

The exhibition gives you the great opportunity to take a look into the life and work of the French Fashion designer YSL. Im so glad that something like this has had the opportunity to come to Bowes Museum, as it is the first exhibition in the UK to showcase the work of Yves Saint Laurent, I would expect something as amazing as this to be showcased in London, so to have this so local is such a great experience and for anyone who lives near, I would highly reccomend a visit!

AW Fashion: That Fur Collar

Hey girls, Im trying to save up my money at the minute, which is the result of not many posts, seems as though I havent really got any new outfits to share (heartbreaking I know!), However this outfit is from a few weeks back on one of my shifts at DaintyLou Boutique, and I wanted to share this bargain leather fur collar jacket and one of the ways Ive styled it!

Ive been loving these jackets for so long, but I just havent been willing to pay the expensive prices that they are at retailers such as Topshop and River Island. This bargain was a gift from Matalan, which is one of the few places I thought to search, as I rarely shop there. Considering the price was a lot lower than high street stores, the quality is amazing and it is so comfortable to wear and style with anything.

As I was wearing this for work, I wanted to wear something comfortable but to still look nice. I dug out this black cold shoulder dress which I have worn about 2 times, and I added this brown belt (which is my absolute favourite belt at the minute). I wore this with some plain black tights, along with these beaut brown suede boots which Ive recently purchased and never seem to have off my feet!

I think the fur collared jacket just finishes off this outfit. Im loving fur at the minute for the AW season, so this outfit is one of my best for the upcoming months!

 

Fur Collar Jacket: Matalan £35.00

Cold Shoulder Dress: Boohoo.com £12.00

Brown Suede Boots: Primark £10.00

Brown Belt: Primark £3.00

Lashes and Lingerie

Hey ladies, so this post is a little different from normal as Ive never written a post on lingerie before, but Im really happy to be doing this one.. Your probably wondering what it means by "Lashes and Lingerie".. I was inspired by a New York based lingerie company called "Adore Me" and I seen various posts of this campaign and wanted to try it out myself!

At Adore Me, they believe that "lingerie is the most intimate expression of your style and shouldnt only be reserved for special occasions!"

I love to feel amazing in lingerie, and I am always buying new sets, I think every girl loves some good underwear shopping, I love lingerie to be comfortable, but to feel so flattering at the same time... 

Ive picked out some of my favourite lingerie sets from the Adore Me autumn lookbook and created some inital looks to match when wearing these beautiful lingerie sets..

 The first look I have created is from this beautiful white and pink lace set. I have decided to pair this lingerie with some natural/pink makeup, including the Mac Soft and Gentle highligher, The Mac Flamingo Lipstick and the In Synch Lip Pencil. I have also went for the Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics pallette for the eyes and I would use the light/pink tones to wear with this look. I have also chosen these stunning strap pink heels from Public Desire.

This next look, I have gone for a more dark and sexy look. I have chosen this amazing black and pink lingerie set, and I have chosen to add these beaut Public Desire knee length heels, along with a black clutch to give it extra. I also think this new YSL perfume is perfect to add to this dark lingerie look, Ive smelt the scent of Black Opium and it is lush! Ive also added this Mac Dark Purple lipstick to finish off the look!

This last look which I have created is for a more "pretty" and "cute" look, however also very flattering. I have chosen this beautiful baby blue lingerie night gown. I love the detailing on this and the design. I have chosen to create this look with these cute candy heels from Public Desire (youve probably guessed that I really like PD), along with this adorable baby blue flower crown. I also think that with a pale coloured outfit, its always good to have a nice tan, therefore Ive included my favourite false tan, along with my favourite bronzer. Its also always nice to have gorgeous long lashes, so Ive included the Dior Show mascara, which Ive tried out and I totally love!

I hope you love all of these looks and I deffinetly reccomend a look at Adore Me. Their lingerie is so beautiful! Im going on holiday tomorrow so I will be posting about it when Im home!

Holiday Shopping; The Best Type Of Shopping

Hey girls, wow it feels like so long since Ive last written a blog! So happy to be posting again! 

So last week I found out that my parents had booked us a holiday to Turkey for next week and I am so so excited, I cant wait to escape this unpredictable English weather!

I think all of us girls know what booking a holiday means, and this is deffos one of my favourite things: Holiday shopping!

I took a trip to the Metro Centre at Gateshead on saturday and I couldnt help myself to go shopping again on Sunday to Middlesbrough, and I thought I'd write a post to showcase a few things I bought!

(Plus everywhere has sales on since the summer is coming to an end!)

Heres what I purchased at the Metro Centre:

I think absolutely everyone starts their holiday shopping with bikinis, they are the ultimate essential, especially for the Turkish heat... I always get my bikinis from Primark, they always seem to have the perfect fit and they have such a variety of patterns and colours, and the other bonus is that they are mega cheap! I bought the lovely blue and pink set, along with these mix and match bottoms..

Blue and Pink set: Primark £4.00

Bottoms: Primark £2.00 each

Once youve purchased bikinis, your obviously going to need cover ups.. This pretty lace playsuit is also from Primark and is the perfect cover up, as it comes with straps and without (which is perfect because I hate tan lines!) I was gutted that they didnt have this in other colours!

Lace Playsuit: Primark £7.00

I set my eyes on these boob tubes in Miss Selfridge a few months back and have been meaning to get one, even better that they were on sale when I came across them again! The Miss Selfridge sale is amazing at the minute, I could have spent a fortune in there. I adore the cute prints on these!

Boob Tubes: Miss Selfridge £5.00 each

I have also set my eyes on these style tops and dresses for quite a while, as Ive seen them on various bloggers and have loved them! I came across this little red dress in New Look sale and couldnt resist. They also have various tops like this in the sale too! The tassle detail on this is perfect and the colour!

Red Dress: New Look £5.00

Another shopping trip, What I bought:

I purchased a new pair of one of my all time fave things, converse. I was going to buy these from the likes of Office or Foot Asylum, until I seen them in Sports Direct for so much cheaper! After 2 years of having my old ones, I was due a new pair, and I was so happy I found them for this price!

Converse: Sports Direct £36.00 (usually £45.00)

Another Miss Selfridge buy was these lush printed trousers which are a nice thin, airy material, perfect for a night out on holiday. Also in the sale. These are a bit big in size but I suppose thats what a sewing machine is for.. 

Printed Trousers: Miss Selfridge £12.00 

 

 I also picked up a few essential accessories. I always go for brown for some reason, the majority of my bags and accessories are always brown.. I picked up the first little shoulder bag from Primark, its little and compact and will fit just what I need in. I also got this brown bum bag from New Look, as its ideal to take out on holiday rather than carrying one. I was so happy I seen this in New Look as I was going to pay 3 times the price in River Island! I then bought a brown belt, as I was due a new one and I like the cute pattern on this one, from Primark.

Shoulder Bag: Primark £4.50

Bum Bag: New Look £6.50

Belt: Primark £2.00

I was rather happy with my holiday shopping. I got quite a lot for a low price. I then got home and realised I maybe didnt even need a lot of new things, but its always nice to treat yourself!

If your following me on instagram, I will be surely posting a lot of photos from my holiday and these outfits, so follow me to keep updated!

Call Me Pretty Collab: Part Two

Hey girls, I recently did a collab with a local boutique a few months back and Ive kindly been asked to blog for them again. The boutique, as most of you will have guessed, is the lovely Call Me Pretty in Norton. If you would like to read part one it is here.

I kindly got asked to go into the boutique again and photograph some of their beautiful summer pieces. I also discovered that they have a lot of things on sale for such good prices at the minute!

 One of the first items I fell in love with was these beautiful trousers which are Vero Moda, and the good thing is, because of the colours, they go with almost anything!
