August Favourites

Hey Guys,

Firstly, I must apologise for my absence during August, I had so many things going on and I was on holiday so I took a break for a while, but now I'm back to regular blogging! I thought I would share with you my August Favourites, including beauty, fashion and a little bit of lifestyle!

Red Ankle Boots- I'm in love with these boots! I only bought them in the last week and haven't had a chance to wear them because the weather has been so lovely! But I'm just adding items to my winter wardrobe and I can not wait to wear these. I wear black skinny jeans and dresses a lot, and with my basic clothes I tend to keep to black, grey and white and then accessorise with coloured shoes, necklaces and scarves.  I keep going into my wardrobe just to look a them! they are from Marks and spencer (which I know might surprise many of you, and they where only £45, get them before they go).


SensatioNail- Im really happy that I get to blog about this product, its amazing for people who like to have gel nails. Obviously being quite good with beauty I find nail varnish really easy to apply so this kit was perfect for me, not only does it save so much money I love the flexibility of changing the colour and not feeling guilty about spending the money on a new set. The starter kit was £70 I think but worth every penny! The kit comes with everything you need, including one colour of your choice (however you do have to buy the removal kit separately) then you can just buy the extra colours you want individually. The finish is amazing and they last just over 2 weeks.  I would definitely recommend this product if your good at doing your own nails and your fed up of paying each time you go to get your nails done!


White Bedroom- I'm in love with my new white bedroom (this would also explain my absence haha), the picture above isn't my bedroom but it follows the same theme. All white with a white and charcoal feature wall and an all white bed, I have added accents of  dusky pink to the room as well to give it warmth. It feels light int the summer but cosy in the winter! Im going to do a blog post of my finished rooms soon!

I will be back soon!

The Uni Wardrobe

Sorry this weeks blog is a bit late! I have been so overloaded with uni work I haven't been able to blog, but I have finally managed to grab the time to sit down and write! I thought I would do a post on my uni capsule wardrobe as without a few key items (some of which are above) I know I would find it very difficult to decide what to wear! As you guys already know I'm a big fan of simplicity, I like pairing simple basics with more expense and colourful accessories. So I thought I would take you through the items in my wardrobe that I couldn't live with out at uni.

1. My leather jacket is without a doubt the most valued item in my wardrobe, I wear it almost everyday to uni but also when I am going out in the evening. When I was deciding what type of leather jacket I wanted I knew I wanted it to last forever, so after saving I opted for a Whistles jacket as I know their quality is outstanding, I have definitely got my value for money and have warn it to death!

2. My Michael Kors watch I have had for almost 2 years now and still love it just as much as when I  bought it, it goes with every outfit and adds a classic edge. I have always worn watches so wearing one everyday is a must for me! The tortoise strap also works as a great accessory.

3. I havent had my long black Topshop bandeau skirt for long but have found it really useful since buying it, I have worn it out in the evenings with heels but can also wear it in the day with a blouse and boots.

4. You already know how much I love statements necklaces, so I had to add one to my capsule wardrobe!

5. lastly, these are the two most worn items in my wardrobe, my maroon jeans and my navy and white t shirt! They go with everything and never fail to give a classy look. I wear the top with necklaces or colourful scarves and the jeans go with almost any top.

If your struggling and find you don't have a capsule wardrobe, when you go to buy something think of all the possible outfits you already have to go with it and only buy it if you can think of them. Start with basics and then add more colourful pieces. Especially for a uni girl, comfort and style and two things that can be created! 

Spring Refresh

Like any girl when I was invited to my friends 21st party I was instantly excited at the opportunity to buy a new dress & didn't consider wearing one I already had. However, recently I have been trying to make a conscious effort  to re-wear my clothes and spend money on accessories rather than on a new outfit. Having always gone by the motto of mixing expensive items with cheaper ones, my wardrobe is a mix of expensive classics with cheaper statements.

So I thought I would share with you what I have decided to wear and how I have refreshed my look. So firstly as you can see I am re-weraring my classic Whistles dress in cobalt blue, having been a fan of whistles fashion for many years I absolutely love the cut and colour of this dress. Very flattering as it comes in at the waist and falls just above the knee, it also a jersey fabric so very comfy and is detailed with a long gold zip at the back. I have matched the dress with a statement necklace that I have recently purchased from Zara- I absolutely love Zara jewellery, especially their statement necklaces which are right on trend this season, I get many compliments of my staple necklaces. The navy/ Grey colour of the stone ties in perfectly with the dress and at £22.99 it wasn't a bad price! I have also paired the dress with my black platform wedges for office which are a staple part of my wardrobe and are so comfortable! I have finished of the look with my Rimmel cerise lipstick in 002 to add an element of colour blocking to the outfit.

So if your not sure what to wear this weekend go through your wardrobe and see what you can add! Have fun experimenting . . . . . . . .

Picture taken from Mulberry Facebook page

Being a religious mulberry fan myself, I constantly find myself lusting over the latest products and constantly checking the website for the latest designs. So when I saw Kate Moss pictured with the bag in the summer, I knew instantly it was love!! I then spent days searching the website, but found that the Willow bag still hadn't been released.


When I saw earlier in the week the bag had finally launched I felt I needed to share it with others. Although slightly out of my price range as a student (a girl can always dream!) my appreciation and understanding of a beautiful handbag is something that I have always had. A quality hand bag makes and finishes any outfit. My love for Mulberry is in its traditional looks and the subtlety the brand carries.

This bag in particular caught my eye, not only is the bag elegant and sophisticated, but the front is also detachable and is transformed into an evening clutch instantly ! Very versatile and great Designing.
Im sure you will all be checking out the website now!  . . . . . . .
