ASOS: Shoes I'm Lovin'

Today as I was browsing through ASOS and particuarly their shoes section I came across these four beautys that I thought I would share with you, and add a little 'what to wear' with each pair. Currently I am feeling very inspired fashionwise with my journey into University approaching I have begun working out my personal style and now that I can wear what I want whenever I feel a lot more inspired to wear new things and colour.

Update #2 - Photo Diary and my Future

The last month has been crazy busy and I'm the type of person who has plans - maybe - once or twice a month so it was definitely a shock to the system having things to do, places to be and people to see. 

It all began at the end of July when I flew to Nerja, Spain with my family for a couple of weeks in the sun. The area was beautiful, we took a trip up to the mountains to visit the small town of Frigiliana and visited the beach a couple of times. In particular I enjoyed the relaxation and had plenty of time for things I don't normally get to do such as reading. 

Chocolate Marble Cake

Last night was a big occasion in England as 'The Great British Bake Off' returned to our screens and we were graced with the blue eyed beauty's Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry and the comedic accomplices Mel and Sue once again. The night of jaffa cakes, genoise and lemon drizzle has inspired me to get back into the baking act and I thought that I would share this with you. Maybe this will become a bit of a weekly thing, who knows.

Chocolate Marble Cake

I wanted something a bit chocolatey and thought a marble cake would be a great place to start, from what I remember the last marble cake I made didn't go quite to plan. Fingers crossed for this time!

A Summer's Walk

Here are a few photographs that I took this morning on a walk around my local area using my iPhone 5s...

Benefit Gimme Brow: Review

As I am going away on holiday next week I wanted to pick up a few magazines to read by the pool and on the plane, sifting through the countless glossy mags on offer I came across Glamour which was rapped in plastic and had a free gift included! You may have guessed from the title but it was the Benefit Gimme Brow, mine is in the shade 5 - deep but they did have the other shades (3 - medium and 1- light) on offer, you would just need to have a hunt around for them. 

The Uni Haul #1

In my last post, 'Preparing for University', I discussed how I have begun the tedious but important task of purchasing items for September when I plan on moving to University. Here is my first little haul...

Preparing for University

If you have read any previous blog posts of mine then you will be aware that I plan on attending university in September, I thought that I would write this post to help any of you that plan on attending in the future or like me will be starting this autumn, these are going to be my tips and tricks to making the process run smoother.

Update #1

The last few weeks have been a bit... let's say quiet since finishing school, I have been stuck at home due to the bad weather (yay, England) and haven't really had a lot to do except watch TV and eat a lot of bad food.

The Chanel Espadrilles Dupe

In the last couple of months I have seen sooooooo many instagram photos and blog posts showing off these Chanel Espadrilles, but (!!) I also discovered a much cheaper alternative for those of you on a low student budget like me...

The Rimmel Nail Polish

If you have read my last post then you will know that I was clearing out my makeup drawers, whilst I was at it I sorted out my nail polish collection too and found that I have a large amount of these Rimmel London polishes. I picked out a few to show you...

My Top 5 Drugstore Mascaras

I was clearing through my makeup drawers earlier, throwing away the two year old, dried out mascaras and the... lets say dodgy foundations and realised that I have five mascaras that get used the most often. These five are all available in Superdrug or Boots and won't break the bank, especially if you are on a student budget like me.

The Line Up

The Skincare Repurchases: La Roche Posay and Superdrug Naturally Radiant

In the last couple of days I have repurchashed two skincare items, one a calming cleanser and the other a miracle moisturiser, and I thought why not share them with you? I do love them after all. 

I'm so happy to have this back in my life...

One Rainy Afternoon

If you've read my first post then you will know that it was a rainy day, I even took a break from writing that post to go outside, in the rain and once it had stopped, to take some photographs. I was really happy with how some of the photographs turned out so I thought that I would share them here...

How pretty are these flowers though?

Take Two

As I write this I have sunken into my sofa, dressed in my comfiest pyjamas and fluffy dressing gown, a steaming cup of tea at my side, what can I say, I'm British. In the comfort of my own home listening to the rain - that I not too long ago escaped - hitting the window I have finally decided to give this blogging malarkey another go...

I took a brief... 30 minute... break from writing this to take photographs in the rain
