Aaaand relax...


 
This must be the most stereotypical girly thing to do but after a really long cold day there is nothing more I love doing than lying in a hot bubble bath candles. I definitely think candles can help you relax and unwind, even in your room at night time, they look pretty and romantic.
 

Yummy Blueberry


 
 
 
The Alberto Balsam shampoo and conditioner is a must for every girl to have. This shampoo smells gorgeous and does loads of different smells, my personal favourites are blueberry and coconut.

I don't use this as my main shampoo as it doesn't specialise in hydrating my hair and moisturising it unlike my other shampoo I use but I love putting this on as a second coat to make my hair smell lush and as its only £1 on offer at the moment in Supermarkets you really can't go wrong!

Classic Denim


I have been looking for a pair of denim jeans for ages, I have a light pair a dark pair but I just wanted a normal denim pair, skinny and tight yet still shows off my shape. I found this pair in Miss Selfridge for £40. They are expensive but they have a offer on all their jeans putting them to £30 and then student discount on top of it so I was very chuffed. They are a high waisted pair which are PERFECT for me as not only do they fall down, get lose they keep my shape and suck it all in and if i want to tuck in a shirt or a top they're highwaisted so I can. Brilliant purchase.
 
 
 

Rock Chick

 
The leather skater skirt is a definite must in the winter wardrobe. It was one of my favourite items of clothing as you can wear it out with a shirt, hat, boots and frilly socks or a classic tee. It's a lovely skirt as it really pulls in at the waist enhancing your waist and puckers out quite a bit, if you are looking for a classic skater skirt Topshop is the one for you but if your wanting something more eyecatching and unique I think this is the skirt. This skirt is from H&M for £19.99.
 
 

Barkin Playsuit

 
 

This is one of my best bargains I have ever purhcased. This gorgeous Topshop playsuit was in the sale from £48 down to £20! I love this playsuit so much for so many reasons, it is great to wear spring time or winter time with a leather jacket and black tights. It's a lovely fitting as it goes out on the legs which can make it look like a dress. The peter pan collar looks lovely with it too and the cute dogs on it. It's a playsuit you can dress with other things such as I have a black leather skater skirt so the playsuit can be seen as the top to the skirt.
 
 

Halloween - Scary yet Stylish



This halloween I went quite creative and wanted to think out of the box. I had a party to go to and I didn't want to spend lots of money on a outfit so I created one myself. I went as a dead mummy (first picture) I brought a beige long vest top/dress from H&M for £4 and cut the staps so it was a boob tube dress. I brought some bandages from Tesco and wrapped the bandages around my dress, arms, leg and head and then brought some 95p blood and squirted it on. It was cheap yet still looked great.

My second outfit was for work, I didn't want to go as over the top so I decided to go as a dead fairy. I wore a black off the shoulder tight tshirt from H&M - £3.99, a black skater skirt from Miss Selfridge - £12.99, ripped up some black tights and added some fairy wings. I also had a sailors fancy dress outfit which had a tutu skirt so I put that underneath the skirt to make it more big and look more cute like a fairy. I searched for inspirational makeup styles and with some liquid eyeliner drew around my eyes and added some red lipstick. I thought it was a very cute.
 
 

2 4 1

 
 
 
 
These were some items I picked up today in Superdrug. They had 3 for 2 on all make-up items which was brilliant as I needed a few things. My first picture is Collection 2000 red lipstick which is only £2.99 which I think is a bargain, they do lots of different red shades and is perfect for a night out. I brought some Eyelure false eyelashes as they are perfect for my eyes as they are the right size, a good price and so many different styles they can fit any occasion. I went for the ultra black false affect as these are for night outs to make my eyes stand out. My last item Barry M nail varnish which I couldn't resist. I have every colour of Barry M nail varnish as it's cheap and just perfect if you are like me who likes to change their nail colour every 5 seconds or have rainbow nails. I think this is perfect for the winter season/christmas as you could put it over a base coat of red or black and make it look glittery, perfect for christmas parties etc.
 
 

Cleanse, Tone and Moisturise



I always was torn between what beauty products would be the best for my face but also at a cost friendly price as I am a student but Simples Cleansers, Toners and Hydrating Light Moisturisers are the best products for me. They are cheap ranging at about £3 from Boots or Superdrug. I like going to Superdrug as they always do deals such as three for two which is really good. They don't smell or irritate my face as I have quite sensetive skin. They have 0 alcohol products, all goodness and make my skin feel so soft and healthy it's amazing.
The best way to get out of this product is to use it in a routine, twice a day and the same way. I always wash my face with normal soap then leave my face damp and with cotton wool pads start with the Cleanser and in circular motions rub all over my face to get rid of the excess rubbish in your poures, I do cleanse twice - once with a make-up wipe and once with this lotion as I don't feel the make-up wipes get rid of every last bit of make-up which cloggs up my skin. I then leave it on for about 20 seconds, then either with your hands or another cotton wool pad with warm water damp your face then wash off after with cold water to close your poures back up. Pat your face to dry. After about a minute, put the Toner on your face in circular motions, once it feels your face is so tight it can't move put on your Moisturisers rubbing it into your face and neck. If your face still feels tight put some more Moisturiser on.

 

Face Finity

 
 

Max Factors new foundation Face Finity 3 in 1 congestion was one of my latest buys as I had needed a new foundation and even though it is more expensive that what I usually buy £9-10 it is completely worth it. It matches my skin tone perfectly and covers up all spots, blemishes as it is a concealer at the same. It makes my skin feel soft and also stays on for a good couple of hours, it doesn't go patchy and I don't feel need to keep checking to top up every hour. 10/10 for Max Factors new foundation.
 
 

Camo

 
I have brought numerous amounts of coats/jackets this year. Khaki seems to be the most popular colour coat this year. I have a khaki coat yet I did want a jacket something more fitted and light, perfect as well for spring time something to keep you warm yet not to heavy. This jacket is from Villa for £34.99. This jacket does have the string to pull you in at the waist or you can leave it handing and casual. I love the gold style on the collar, it's simple yet effective. I really would like to buy some studs and design it a bit more maybe on the shoulders.
 
 

Asos Pretty Playsuit

 
 
Asos can do some really pretty playsuits and dresses and this playsuit is from there. It has a low v cut at the front and a circle back as their is a button connecting to the other side. This playsuit can be worn either ways personally. I like to wear the playsuit backwards as I like the low v back but then in the summer on holiday I am sure the V neck would look lovely the right way.
 
 

A Snug Winter

 
I am obssesed with knitted chunky over sized jumpers this winter they are just perfect with a pair of leggings or disco pants and converse for a casual day or sixth form/college/universirty.
 
The blue jumper is from Primark for £14 with suede pads on the elbow and its gorgeous. The colour is what attracted me most, they have a baby pink one as well which is lush. Blue is a colour which seems to be not popular in the winter but I love it, it looks fresh, frosty and icy.
 
The cream/white and burgundy jumper is from New Look for £19.99, I always get a big size so it's baggy. I love how it is a light material and falls really nicely on.
 
 

"Creepy Sick"

 
Nothing more I love than buying a pair of converses. Converses are my favourite shoes they are comfortable and just all around perfect. If you don't have any I suggest you invest in some. I have the white low ones, pink low ones and black high tops and really wanted the high tops but I thought seeing as I have the white ones just a different style I thought it was a waste of money but Republic sell Converses and for a week had 25%  off EVERYTHING so I had to invest in some. Best purchase in a long time they go with everything and love them more than anything.
 
 

Walk The Chelsea Foot Steps

 
Fair to say Chelsea boots are gorgeous. They are wonderful to wear in the winter with a dress and tights or a pair of skinny jeans and a leather jacket. They're not the best to wear for hours on end but for a bite to eat or a shopping spree they are gorgeous, I had to buy some.
 
 

Freedom

 
You can't ever go wrong with a Topshop sale. They're jewellery is the best and their sale prices are even better. I was really gutted that they had no necklaces left but was still really happy and can't wait to go back after christmas.
 
 

The Perfect Christmas Dress.

 
 
 
My H&M christmas work party was the best event I had been to for ages (probably because of the free bar) but trying to find a dress especially being me is the most sressful thing ever. I always find dresses when i'm least expecting it but when I am looking for something I can't find anything. This dress is from Rose in New Look for a bargain of £19.99! I loved this dress as it's black and white very simple yet the black skirt fell perfectly with the underskirt. Perfect with a black cluth and a classic pair of black 6.5 inch heels.
 
 
 
This was another dress I brought as a alternative from AX Paris for £29.99. I will wear this on other nights out though, the colour is goreous and warm and I love it's tight to show off your body. The studs add the rock'n'roll feel to it and would look great with a pair of black wedges or black studded heel boots and smoky eyes.

Feel Like A Princess

 
I am re-decorating my room and wanted my theme to be pink and white. The most girliest room ever. I love the vintage shabby chic theme and floral. This is my new white dressing table which makes me feel like a princess. I love sitting up to it with all my comparments doing my make up.
 
 
 
 

Pretty Lights.

 
I have a lovely metal shabby chic white head board and to make it feel even more cosy and as it's christmas I brought some fairy lights. I love how cosy and warm it makes my bed room feel.
