LDN🇬🇧

On Saturday I came down to London to visit family. Knowing I'd be out all day, travelling through London, on & off trains, I thought I'd dress up for the occasion (use it as an excuse to wear my new dress).

I absolutely love this dress, I've seen many celebrities & bloggers wearing it & just had to get my hands on it before they all sold out! The pastel colour totally fits in with the current colour trend & the original print gives it an interesting edge.

I chose to use my plain black Zara bag so the attention wasn't taken off the dress, keeping it the main focus point of the outfit. This bag is great for travelling as it has a lot of compartments & it's is also very versatile.

I also paired the dress with these great black canvas lace-up Chelsea boots. They're lovely & chunky & I love the height of them, I wore them for around 5 hours straight on Saturday and felt NO PAIN (win)!

Summer Inspiration & Flatform Love

With summer approaching (or what we in Britain believe we can call summer), I thought it was about time to whack out some summery accessories.

Flatforms are undoubtedly a huge trend for 2014, ranging in height and style. I picked up these classic white, double buckle flatform sandles last July in the Topshop sale. I think they're a great statement piece to any summer outfit & the colour white is so popular in the footwear world at the minute.

My Mad Fat Diary, has really helped in bringing back that classic 90's dress sense. The round sunglasses I have picked out really capture the 90's trend, with a slightly modern twist, with the larger size of frame. 

I love this gold chunky eagle necklace, such a Topshop classic. These came out in a variety of colours, but I thought gold would be the most versatile for most of the outfits I would be wearing it with.

LUSH Christmas Bath Essentials Still Going Strong!

During the Christmas period, it was safe to say I went a little LUSH crazy! It's an illness that can't be helped, I challenge you to enter a LUSH store with out leaving with a serious dent in your bank account. Especially with the magical limited edition Christmas products on offer. My absolute favourite bath bomb must of been the 'Luxury Pud Bath Bomb'!

The colours and the smell was just divine!  I loved it so much that I went and bought two more & I now eagerly await December so I can get my Christmas pudding bath bomb fix.

I still have a few of the bath products left over from Christmas & ONE of the Luxury Pud bath bombs. Yet I am adamant on not using it as it gives off such a strong scent that it fills my whole bathroom!

Long live the Christmas Pud! 

Florida Beauty Haul

So a few months ago I went to Florida for two weeks on a family vacation. I had been working hard for months & saving up all my wages so I was able to splurge whilst I was out there, and boy did I!

Going out there, I had a few items that I wanted in mind, such as; the Urban Decay 'Naked 2' palette and a MAC eye shadow palette.  

The reason I bought so many expensive items was due to the fact that makeup is slightly cheaper in America because of exchange rate.

The real bargains were the products I bought from 'Walgreens', it's a very large & popular drug store over in the US (quite like Walmart).

 I spent hours in that store & I mean, HOURS. There were just so many interesting products in there, items that I have never seen in this country & needless to say, the makeup selection was HUGE!

To give an example of price differences, I got my hands on one of the EOS lip balms for around $3/4 & have just noticed that they are now on the Topshop website for a whopping £7!
