Denim Rules!

I'm going to go right out there and say it, I LIKE DUNGAREES! Yes, they may seem a little old fashioned and yes, even my nana took the mick when she saw me wearing them, but there's something about that screams easy-to-wear, classic chic with an adorable cuteness that means I can't stay away.

I've had such a busy weekend! It's been my best friend's AND my boyfriend's 21st birthday so there's been lots of cake and lots of drinks!

Hope you like this outfit, my lovely friend Andy took these for me a couple of weeks ago. :)

Double Leather

Forget double denim, I've gone for double leather! I picked up this skirt the other day and fell in love with it! When I want to wear it casually, I stick my favourite pair of Supergas with it, a plain tee and I'm good to go!

Do you like it?

It's sodding raining again outside (don't like shooting inside!). It's been so sunny lately and I finally go to take pictures outside and now this. Oh well, here's hoping it cheers up later on this week! I also don't know what's going on with my camera today - it clearly isn't in the mood!

A Hint of Pink

Summer is here (sort of) and so it's time to ditch those jeans and boots and bring out the shorts and whites!! The 'all white' trend is really popular at the moment, and trust me, I love it! However, I decided to add a dash of pink to my almost-white ensemble (mostly because I am really pale currently as I have not been out in the sun - white on white legs does not work for me!). I hope you like this outfit and happy 1st of July!!

Mandatory Zara Skort!

I know I know EVERYONE has one of these! BUT in my defence they are extremely comfortable and go with an awful lot. Besides, I'd thought I'd be a little different with the blue.

I managed to get a chance to shoot these extremely quickly today as the weather was nice. Less than a week to go till exams are over! YAY! (I have one today and I'm not excited). I hope you all have been having a lovely week, In the UK the sun has finally decided to show it's face (although it may want to hide again at the sight of my paleness!).

New in: Beauty

I'm really sorry about the lack of posts lately! I'm in the middle of exams :(. They finish next week so I should have plenty of outfit shots by then. I'm dying to post some I have some lovely new things to show you! (I did, in fact, have one done but accidently deleted it off my camera! Such a ditz) So in the mean time I thought I'd do a beauty post to review some of the new make-up and beauty products that I acquired recently.

Ok so I'm kind of developing a little obsession with Essie nail polish. I've only just recently discovered their wonder and I can't stop buying/using them! I was going to a party Saturday with the intention on wearing this lovely blue one but forgot to take it to work with me so went and bought 'lilacism' instead (Which was on my wish-list anyway). The blue one is called 'Lapiz of Luxury'.

They are amazing and they last for ages before chipping.

Next up are a couple of new Mac products. This is the "Superslick Liquid Eye Liner". It really is brilliant and lasts all day (it really hard to get off actually!). It has really easy application and the colour is thick and covers well. Worth the investment.

This eyebrow pencil from Mac is also fantastic. I have trouble finding a colour which complements my eyebrows as they are quite light but this darkens them without making it too obvious that I've used a brow pencil.

Finally there is the 'They're Real' mascara from Benefit. This is by far the best mascara I've laid my hands on! And for lucky Elle readers they are giving them away free in this month's issue. It is worth every penny and I shall be buying it from now on.

I hope you enjoyed reading and I promise I will try and get some outfit posts up this week (without deleting them by accident!).

 

Have a lovely week

Turqoise Obsession

I have recently starting buying Essie nail polish and I found this colour which I love so much it needs a post of its own! This will go perfectly with the all-white clothes trend and a pair of mint green trousers I'm planning on buying for the summer.

The colour is 'Turquoise & Caicos' and these photos were taken after a day's wear so they're still looking good with no chips so far!

Also, for those people that did include me in their Google + circles (all 5 of you! aha) I have a new Google account and I've added the new link on my profile.

Happy Tuesday!

Nails Nails Nails

So I didn't want to do two posts in a row for beauty but seeing as I can't do any outfit posts till next weekend I'll live with it for now.

I thought I'd share with you my new Essie purchase and a couple of my other favourite nail varnishes that I wear ALL THE TIME.

On Thursday I lost my Essie virginity, took the plunge, and invested in 'Tart Deco'. The brushes are a slightly different shape to the ones i'm used to using because they're a little flatter which actually makes it a lot easier to apply. They had some gorgeous colours which I can't wait to buy for Spring, I particularly like some of the green pastels (a good excuse to buy some mint coloured clothes). I think 'Mojito Madness' or 'Mint Candy Apples' might be next on the list.

Tart Deco is a great colour and i'm after matching jewellery to wear with it! It's quite bright and almost close to neon when two coats have been applied (the pictures don't do it justice!). So far minimal chips and I love the shine a good top coat gives it. So if you're wary of trying different brands of polish, i'd recommend you give Essie a try.

My favourite nail varnishes have to be the Le Vernis colours by Chanel. I'm a big fan and my absolutely favourites I cannot live without are 'Quartz' and ' Blue Boy'. Unfortunately I got told that Quartz was being discontinued so if you're a lover like me then stock up! I particularly like 'Peridot' as an evening version of Quartz because it has hints of green and gold (i'll do a post next week on that one because I need to steal mum's one!) and eventually i'll have to invest in my own Peridot. Although the colours for chanel nail varnish are absolutely fantastic make sure you put on two-three coats because they can seem quite fluidy (if that makes sense) and a top coat is a must because they are prone to chipping if you're not careful.
