Zara Knit And Tartan Scarf

Zara Knit And Tartan Scarf 

Another quick outfit post today. I really wanted to share with you this jumper that I picked up in the Zara Sale this weekend. Zara is on of my all time favourite shops and I can never go inside the store or on the website without finding at least five things that I love! I managed to spot this beautiful white knit in just my size. For me a white jumper is such a staple as it can go with everything, especially coloured jeans. And this one is really flattering as it is tight on the sleeves and looser on the body and it has this beautiful lace detail along the top of the sleeves. 

I kept the palette of this look really neutral with some dark denim jeans, and grey satchel bag and this lovely vintage tartan scarf I got from Clothes Show Live. I accessorised with this little necklace from Accessorize that adds some detail to the outfit and of course my watch. And after the December party season I have been loving nude lips, especially this Revlon one. 

As it is still pretty cold in Manchester as I jacket I wore my Zara fur gilet as it compliments the other colours, adds some texture and means I am still able to show off the beautiful lace sleeves.

Space Party Galaxy Makeup

Space Party Galaxy Makeup

Last night I went to a huge space themed party held by my university to celebrate the end of exams. I didn't really know what to go as and I didn't want to spent a lot of money on a crazy costume. All I did know that what I just wanted to take the opportunity to wear a lot of sequins and glitter!

I ordered a little black sequin dress of Ebay for £10 as my costume and then I was just going to do some really cool makeup to dress it up. I probably spent hours in total scrolling through pinterest and WeHeartIt for inspiration on space themed makeup. But in the end I combined a few different looks and this is what I came up with. 

The makeup look I went for was a galaxy swirl/black hole around just my right eye. I started off with a white eyeshadow and did a white swirl under my eye to my cheekbone and then under my eyebrow to my nose. I then gradually darken the eyeshadow for the rest of the look from silver to grey and then to black. I made sure to really blend everything out so that the gradient looked smooth as it faded out. I then applied some Barry M glitter dust over the swirl, concentrating it on the white eyeshadow. Finally I used a Collection silver liquid liner and a glitter liner to draw on a few stars of all different sizes. 

For my left eye I just did a bit of a smoky eye in similar colour with the black and silver. I also decided to wear some pretty long false lashes from Collection for about £3. I don't often wear fake lashes but these ones are pretty simple to put on and I love how they look on a night out. 

On my nails I wore the silver Rimmel Space Dust which I thought was pretty fitting and kept with my glittery theme. 

Hope you liked this different kind of makeup up post! So happy that my exams have finally finished and I can't wait to get back into a routine of blogging more often. Speak soon xx

Casual Tuesday Outfit

Casual Tuesday Outfit 

 For me this is the ultimate comfy casual outfit. Nothing says off duty like leggings, a loose fitted denim shirt, converse and a beanie. Today I am basically just in my room revising and maybe going out to the library later so I just want to be comfy.

I love this really pale denim shirt that I picked up a while ago from Republic. It's slightly ombre as well so it is basically white around the shoulders and darker at the bottom. The fit is sloutchy and loose but still flattering. I also love that it is a bit longer at the back which means I can wear it with leggings and my bum is still covered. I don't really feel comfortable wearing jeggings with a short top as I don't find it as flattering. 

I kept colours and jewellery quite neutral with my everyday gold watch and a beautiful delicate gold necklace from Accessorize. Also think my new phone case is looking pretty cool with this outfit! 

I'm totally obsessed with my fur bobble beanie that I got for Christmas. I love the colour and the oversized bobble and it's perfect for hiding all my bad hair days! 

This would be my perfect lazy day outfit and to go out I would just pair it with a parka coat or something. Hope you like this little outfit post, haven't done one in a while but I really want to get back into it. Speak soon xx

The Best Surprise Ever

The Best Surprise Ever

. 

On Saturday night I was on the phone to my boyfriend Jack who is at university in Durham. The last time that I saw him was New Years Eve which I know isn't too long ago but with him going skiing, my exams, then his exams and university life then next time I was going to be able to see him was Valentines Day. Not because I am a soppy Valentines Day person (although I do like all the pink heart decorations and the chocolates!) but just because that was the first weekend we were both available. 

After another long day of revision we were just chatting on the phone as I thought he was walking back from playing squash. Then he told me to look out my window and surely enough there he was standing in the dark holding a bunch of my favourite flowers. I can't quite explain to you the shock and happiness that I felt in that moment and when I ran downstairs into his arms. It was like actually being in one of the many romance films that I love to watch! Being a good 2 or 3 hours away by train and not having loads of money being students we don't get to see each other during term time as much as either of us would like. But seeing him every 3 to 4 weeks is what keeps me going through the stress of uni work and missing home sometimes. 

He stayed for Saturday night and then left late on Sunday evening. We stayed in bed and watched Netflix in the evening and then on Sunday we had a long lie in, went for brunch at my halls. In the afternoon I dragged him along to see The Theory of Everything as I have wanted to see it for ages but all of my friends had seen it so I had no one to go with. If you haven't seen it I really recommend it, it's a lovely film with some of the most amazing acting I have seen in a long time. We also went out for a quick dinner at Bella Italia and then I took him to the station. 

It has been back to revision today, but after a perfect day with Jack yesterday I feel a little more motivated and I just can't wait to get my last exam over with on Thursday. I still can't believe how lucky I am to have a boyfriend who would go to all that effort to surprise me like that! He really is amazing! 

Hope you all had a lovely weekend and Monday hasn't been too hard on you! Speak soon xxx

New Phone For A New Year

New Phone For A New Year

Just before I came to university I was due a phone upgrade, so just before I got the train up to Manchester to went to get my new phone. I have had and iPhone 5 for the last 2 years and I think I would struggle to work any phone other than an iPhone now! I was lucky enough to upgrade to an iPhone 6 which I now love. It is bigger than previous iPhone models and a lot thinner but I can still fit it in pockets and it's just as easy to use. After a lot of standing around and staring at all the different colours I finally went for the gold one. It's a really pretty pale gold that I think looks really classy. Although the silver is just as pretty.

As soon as I got back to Manchester I got straight online to order myself some cases to protect my beautiful phone! I ended up choosing a selection from Ebay for about £2 each! So far this is the only one that has arrived and I love it! I've seen this quote a few times before and it's so fitting now that I am a fashion student! Can't want to share the other 2 with you when they arrive either. 

Having previously had a phone with 16GB and constantly having problems with storage and have to delete everything to save space I decided to go for a bigger memory. I now have 64GB so I don't think I am going to be filling that any time soon. Although I did add a lot of music and all my old photos and it's surprising how much space that takes up! 

Quick sorry for the lack of posts recently. I'm currently in the middle of my first lot of university exams which is getting a little stressful! But this time next week they will all be over, so expect a few going out outfits next weekend! xx

Spencer Hastings Inspired Outfit

Spencer Hastings Inspired Outfit

Recently I have been watching A LOT of Pretty Little Liars. It finally come on Netflix about 2 weeks ago and since then my life hasn't been the same! It's a really great show and if you liked Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, 90210 etc then you should definitely try and watch it. I've just started Season 3 and I'm totally hooked! And while I could talk for hours about my theories and who I think A might be it's the fashion that I really want to talk about. 

Like most of these kind of TV shows the fashion is really on point. Each of the girls have a really individual style that really shows of each of their personalities. And while I love them all for me I find Spencer's style most wearable and easiest to replicate with items I already have in my closet. 

For those of you who haven't seen PLL and don't really know what I am talking about Spencer is the "smart" one in the group. Her style is smart, tailored and very preppy. So I put together my own every day Spencer inspired outfit. Hope you like it. 

A simple ponytail can be made to look a whole lot smarter with a little hair bow. This one is really cute and adds a little pop of colour to a simple outfit. 

I paired this lace collared and cuffed shirt from ASOS with a slouchy 3/4 sleeved cardigan from H&M. Then I kept it simple with some smart dark wash jeans and my new leather boots. 

I am so in love with these boots at the moment. I've wanted a pair of smart brown boots like this for ages so when I saw these in the sale in my local shoe shop I knew I needed them. Being real leather they were still quite an investment but I know I'll get a lot of wear out of them and if I look after them they should last me years. 

I kept my jewellery very understated with my gold watch and simple studs and my makeup very natural as I love how Spencer uses makeup to enhance her natural beauty, not hide it. 

Hope you liked this post. I love taking inspiration from other people's styles recreating them myself. Let me know in the comments below what you think and as any A theories! Although keep in mind I've only just started Season 3. No spoilers please! xx

Born Pretty Store Lip Products

Born Pretty Makeup Lip Products 

Last month I was given the opportunity to try out a couple of lip products from the Born Pretty Makeup line. They have an amazing website that sells everything a girrl could ever want from makeup, to clothes to handbags to adorable stationary. Plus the prices are absolutely amazing and they have free shipping world wide! You can check out their website here. 

The two products that I picked to review were this Tutu Lip Exfoliating Gel and this beautiful pink lipstick. The lip exfoliating gel is so easy to use, you just put a little bit of the product onto your finger and then massage it gently into your lips. And after you have done you can just wipe it off with a tissue. What I really love about this one is that it's really gentle and the exfoliating beads are really fine, as at the moment winter has left my lips feeling very sensitive. 

The Tutu lip exfoliator left my lips feeling so lovely. It not only exfoliated but also moisturised and as you can see from the picture left my lips feeling super plump. This is a great step to add into your rountine every now and again as it really preps your lips for a product, especially if you are going to be wearing a matte lip product. You can pick this one up here for just over £2!

It took me a long time to pick out a colour of these lipsticks as they had so many lovely ones which you can have a look at here, In the end I went for shade 05 a beautiful summery pink. Yes, as soon as Christmas and NYE are over I'm already thinking about summer! This lipstick is really nice and glossy and worked even better after I had used the exfoliating lip gel. It's a really pretty natural color so I think that this would be a perfect shade to pair with a smoky eye  look. 

I am in love with this beautiful pink shade and I know that it is going to be such a staple for me in summer. 

I hope that this little product review with introduce you to an amazing new brand and you will go and check out their website. Born Pretty has huge discounts on nearly all of their products already but they were also kind enough to give me a little discount code to share with all of you. To get 10% off your order you can use the code PENH10. Hope you enjoy scrolling through the lovely website. I've literally just spent the last hour adding so many different things to my basket that I want to try out!
