OOTD: Heard You Were A Wild One







Shirt: River Island
Jeans: Vintage
Bag: Peacocks
Shoes: Nike Air Max 1s
Lips: Barry M '129'

Hi all,

It's ridiculous how many compliments I've had on this shirt. This is the first time in a long while that I have managed to infuse some interesting colour combos into my outfit. I love the jungle print on this particular piece - it really works for summer (and it's not flowery - bonus!)

Was feeling quite casual today, hence the slouchy jeans, trainers and just-washed hair. However, I always compensate with the make-up - I love this new lilac lipstick of mine (it always seems to remind me of Nicki Minaj!) It's got a very creamy texture, which is nice, but I do wish the staying power was a little stronger. Having said that, my trusty Lipcote came in handy once again.

Last day of summer!

Bring on Autumn...

Hi guys,

I felt like an urban Marie Antoinette today. It's the hair, you know? Once again, I had stepped into fashion a time warp and donned the sneakers, the jeans, the choker and the retro glasses. I love fashion from different eras; my Mum may laugh at my choice of trousers but at least I can appreciate what came before me!

I used to be a massive fan of jewellery and I think I am beginning to like it a lot again. I love layering pieces now - you can never wear too many necklaces or earrings. I also really love the jacket / blazer piece that I got from River Island. It's defo going to be one of my most versatile clothing pieces for the future because not only is it a neutral colour and incredibly comfy, it's quite light so I can wear it in autumn and spring.

Products I'm Loving!



1. Raspberry & Blackberry hand lotion by I love...

Guess what, guys? I loooove this hand lotion. I got it as a Christmas present last year, which was super handy as obviously we get drier skin in winter and this little baby works wonders to keep hands and fingers smooth and moisturised. But honestly, the smell is what makes this product amazing. The odour isn't artificial or sickening at all - it legit smells like berries! I say that with a shocked face but it's incredible how these magical skincare specialists can get it oh so right. I think it retails at £2.99 so it's very cheap. It's quite a large bottle too so it'll last you a long time. 


2. MAC Prep + Prime Natural Radiance Base Lumiere

This is a slightly more expensive product that I have been loving this summer! This serum works as a really good primer, so it controls oil and makes the application of foundation a lot nicer. It also has a lot of natural ingredients such as Vitamin E and Vitamin C, plus caffeine to calm the skin. I used this before I went to Lovebox and it kept my make-up perfect throughout the day, which was exactly what I needed as it was almost impossible to reapply or fix up my make-up during the hot daylight hours. Honestly guys, it gives you the most amazing glow ever! A winner for sure. 


3. Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Hardener

My nails have just started to grow really long but because they are quite flimsy I always find myself reaching for the clippers, much to my dismay. However, I started using this hardener and it is one of the best I've tried. It prevents chipping or breaking of the nails and although I usually apply it every few days, it really does do what it's meant to.





4. Collection 2000 Big Fake Ultimate false lash effect mascara

I tell everyone that I am most definitely not a make-up snob and one of the reasons why is because you can find a great many products that are very inexpensive and work just as well, if not better, than some high-end products. This mascara just proves my point. It was £4.99, has a great, fat brush and keeps my lashes looking phenomenal all day long. Unfortunately I picked up the brown / black version by accident but I was lucky because it's not noticeable at all and it might as well be black, haha. If you don't like huge, fake-looking lashes then this mascara may not be for you (it can be quite a messy business applying it!) but I personally love the doll-eyed look and was so chuffed that I paid so little for a fantastic mascara.

What are some of your favourite products at the moment?
