Summertime Feelings

Summertime Feelings

I am officially on my summer holiday now! And I think my exam went pretty well too. Since finishing my exam it has been so busy though. I went to Pizza Express with the girls straight after and then we went on a night out with everyone. And the day after I went shopping and decided to treat myself a little bit! It was sunny, I was happy and some money was spent! So I thought that I would share with you what I bought. 

H&M is one of my favourite places for really affordable fashion, and I always seem to find something there that I like. This time I found this beautiful white floaty skirt which I think will look so pretty with so many different tops and be great for showing off a tan!

Obviously I ended up in Zara but this time despite trying loads of different things on I didn't manage to find anything that I absolutely loved. Until I saw this scarf as I was about to leave the shop. I have a bit of a problem when it comes to scarves as they are just my favourite. I have a whole section in my wardrobe for them all colour coordinated, and there is probably about 60 (no exaggeration!). 

But this was the only one left that I could see in the shop so there was no way that I could leave it behind! It's so beautiful and soft and can be worn in so many different ways. I like to just drape it around my neck which is how I wore it when we went to dinner then evening. 

I also went to Topshop as there were two things that I knew I wanted to get. The first was a Topshop lipstick in the share Be My Baby. And I am actually wearing it today and have just taken some outfit picture so if you want to see this lipstick then wait until the post tomorrow. I also picked up some of these beautiful temporary tattoos which I have seen on so many people. Some people love them and some people hate them, but I think that with a bit more of a tan in summer they will look so pretty. 

I also picked up a lipstick from Rimmel in the shade 38 which is a lovely natural everyday nude shade that I can tell I am going to get a lot of wear out of. 

Yesterday I packed up all of my things and moved out of my halls forever. When I go back to university in September I will be living in a house with all of my friends! I managed to fill our whole people carrier with all of my stuff! And it basically took me 4 hours just to unpack everything! 

So today I am heading of to the Capital Summer Time Ball and I am so excited! Such a great way to start off my summer holidays. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. Speak soon xx

Nearly Summer

Nearly Summer 

So my university exam is today. And I'm nervous! I'm one of those silly people that gets so worked up about exams to the point where I feel sick. I've done a lot of revision and to be honest my first year doesn't even count, I just need to pass. But I still didn't manage to get to sleep until nearly 2am because of nerves. Does anyone else have this problem? Or an solutions? Maybe I just need hypnotherapy!

Anyway, I just wanted to show you the cutest Good Luck Card that I got from my boyfriend yesterday. I love making people cards, especially him and now he has started making cards for me too. There is just something so lovely and special about getting a handmade card that you know someone has really thought about. 

And in case you don't get the pun my surname is Penney! 

Also last night (stupid timing) was my halls formal dinner for the end of the year. I didn't really manage to get any good pictures of myself but I did want to show you what I wore. I've shown this dress on my blog before last year but I still love it. How pretty is this bow back? To me this is summer, pretty and feminine. 

So in a few (horrible) hours my exam will be over and I will officially be on my Summer holiday! I'm going for a meal with the girls afterwards and then I think we are going clubbing! No idea what I am going to wear yet but I'll try and take some outfit photos. 

So I'll see you on the other side! Bye! xx

Happy 1st of June everyone! It's basically summer and I can't wait, the weather just a has a bit of catching up to do! Feels like I haven't done a monthly favourites in ages as I missed last month due to a lack of camera. So I'm excited about the things that I have to share with you today. 

Leopard Print Slip-ons

Firstly I need to talk about my new shoes as they have been the most exciting thing I've bought this month. I had seen a lot of this slip-on style shoe and I really loved them and then I started to see some leopard print ones on other blogs and Pinterest and I just thought they were so cool. I'm hardly adventurous when it comes to fashion, although being a fashion student now that is something that I am trying to change! But I have loved putting outfits together with my new shoes this month. They look great with black jeans and a plain white shirt or top. I also wore them with a little beige skirt and a denim shirt earlier in the month. So despite what my boyfriend thinks about these (he hates them!) I absolutely love my new shoes! 

Nivea Hydra Care Lip Balm

While I do like Vaseline I find that after a while it get very drying. This lip balm from Nivea is one that I always come back to as it is just so moisturising and lasts such a long time. I can put it on before bed and still feel a bit of it there when I wake up in the morning! It's such a great one just to carry around in your handbag and it's a stick which means it's more hygienic on the go. Also I can't remember exactly but I am sure it is a bargain! 

Jojoba Oil by Naissance

I started using this oil after experiencing very dry nails and doing a bit of research online for solutions. I got this bottle from Amazon for about £5 and I've had it for nearly two months and only used about a quarter. I like to just massage this into my cuticles whenever I remember, usually a few times during the day and then before bed. I've also started using this occasionally on my skin if it looks dry or dull. It's so moisturising and really sinks deep into the skin leaving it feeling really smooth. 

Rimmel Extra Super Last Mascara

One of my friends from my course always has such amazing lashes so I finally asked her what mascara she uses thinking it would be an expensive one. So when she said it was an old, cheap one from Rimmel that they don't advertise any I was so excited! I picked this up at the beginning of the month and wasn't concentrating and got the brown/black one! But as I'd already opened it I started using it anyway and I love how natural it looks. You do have to scrap a bit of the excess back into the tube, like with most mascara. But this is a perfect everyday, natural looking mascara. And for less than £5 you can't go wrong! 

Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Eye Pencil - 005 Nude

This is something that I had wanted for ages but always seemed to be sold out in every Boots I went to. I only picked it up just over a week ago but I have worn it everyday since and know I am going to continue wearing it. It's amazing for reducing redness and making eyes look more awake. And the fact that it is nude and not white makes it look a lot more natural. Definitely recommend this. 

Accessorize Gold Necklace

Don't think that they will still be selling this exact necklace as I have had this for a while, but I have been loving very delicate jewellery lately, particularly this gold necklace. It's the perfect way to dress up a really simple outfit and I think that it looks so classy and effortless. 

Ted Baker Body Lotion

I forgot I even had this until I got home a few weeks ago and saw it in my cupboard. If I am honest as far as a moisturiser goes there are probably better ones. But this smells so amazing! I don't know how to describe it, but trust me, it smells good. I loved using this after a bath when I was having a bit of a pamper. I also think Ted Baker body lotions or scrubs or something would make a lovely present for someone, or just as a treat for yourself!

If you have also just written a May Favourites post then link it down below in the comments as they are on of my favourite things to read and I love finding new blogs to follow. Lots of love xx

Today In Pictures - 31/05/2015

Today In Pictures - 31/05/2015

Tomorrow I am heading back to university for my exam on Wednesday. I'm kind of nervous but also really looking forward to seeing all of my friends again! 

So today was mostly just revision but while I was packing for tomorrow I also had a little bit of a sort out in my bedroom. When I come back I am going to have twice as much stuff and I have no idea where it is all going to go! Love how pretty all these pastel Essie nail polishes look on my shelves. 

I love it when you kind a new combination of clothes that you have never worn before! It's like a whole new outfit but without having to spend any money! Today I was wearing a white V-neck jumper with a thin denim shirt underneath. 

I love the details of the collar and the sleeves that shirts give under jumpers. I think that it looks preppy and smart but is also perfect for unpredictable weather. I paired these with my new black Zara jeans which are just so comfy and I can't stop wearing them. 

And finally I accessorised with my favourite gold necklace right now. I love this delicate flower detail and it goes perfectly with my gold watch. 

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Speak soon xx
