My Autumn Wishlist

Hello my lovelies,
As you probably know I did a makeup wishlist and I thought to myself "hmm... Sacha you should probably think about clothes because they're important" so I decided to do a wishlist of everything I think is essential for winter and what I will be looking to purchase.

Fisrt of all is a parka! I have had mine for 3-4 years so it's really time for a new one I think, Zara do some really good quality parkas and I have my eye on these two in there

£89.99

£89.99

I also think that a tartan print scarf is perfect for the cold weather and they look great with most things because of the mixture of colours in them.

£19.99 - Zara

£20.00 - Urban Outfitters

Something I think is a huge staple not only for autumn but for all year round is ankle boots especially cut out boots I feel like they add some femininity to a solid piece.

£45 - Topshop

£44.99 - New Look

 Of course an essential would be a white tee and I really like this one from Topshop because of the shape of it and the mix of materials I think it is absolutely fab!

£30.00 - Topshop

I really like Topshop's Joni jeans at the minute they're super highwaisted and fit so nicely, I think that they will look really nice in a black with a light denim jacket.

£36 - Topshop

Last but not least I really think that frilly socks will look so good with cut out boots topshop do some really cute ones in hundreds of different colours or some patterned socks topshop again do alot of cute ones like this to!

£3.50/ 3 for £8

Again £3.50/ 3 for £8

I think these will look all look really good together or on their own and I think I will be wearing them all alot if I eventually buy them! I am going shopping on saturday with a friend (this is risky business) so look out for a little haul type post soon! I hope you're all having an amazing week!

Much love <3

                                           

What's in my make-up bag!

Hello my lovelies,
As promised here is my whats in my makeup bag post!

My makeup bag is from Cath Kidston it was a christmas present so I have literally no idea how much it was but it's a fabulous size and comes with a matching compact mirror! What more could you want! I use my make-up bag to hold all the essential things that I could possibly need in a emergency!

First off in my bag I keep a couple of lip products and honestly if you haven't tried babylips yet do yourself a favour and go buy one or two or even buy all of them! I have a little lipgloss and a powder I have my old nasty No7 in there at the moment because its already ruined so it won't matter if it gets bashed around a bit and another old brush.

If you know me at all you will know that I am super clumsy so I always have some plasters on me incase I have a moment. I am also quite emotional especially with Disney films I know but it's true so tissues for me is a must!

Finally I just carry around some bobby pins because I always seem to lose mine and some cotton wool bud things. I don't know why I have these they just come in useful quite a lot for different things, so are good to just have there incase.

That is pretty much it if I'm going out I might throw in a couple of other things but that is pretty much all I take with me on an everyday basis.
I hope you are all having a FAB week!
Much love <3

My Hand Bag Essentials

Hello my lovelies,

I'm sorry I haven't been posting as much this past week, it's been super stressful and I've been ill so please accept my apology! 

Anyway I thought I would share some of my handbag essentials  (I'm planning on doing a travel make-up bag one to in case you're wondering where some things are). 

So these are the main things in my bag:

Headphones-I'm always on public transport nowadays and because of where I live it's normally for a long time so having headphones is a must for me even normal iPod headphones.

Purse-I use my purse for everything it's like a little bag inside my bag, it has my ID in it and all sorts which I would've lost by now with out it.

Keys & Key Ring- I have a big key ring because I don't want to lose it in the depths of my bag along with all the rubbish from years ago. The one I have is something I found in a baby section in a little shop near me and is from 'jelly cat' I just thought it was super cute (when it gets dirty I can wash it to!)

Water- I think it is so important to keep hydrated and drink throughout the day because it stops you feeling ill and is also so good for your skin. 

Hand Cream- As it's getting into winter I think having hand cream is pretty essential so my little hands don't get sore and dry.

Snacks- I have a really bad habit of not eating if I'm out and about so I throw a snack in there to give me something to munch on. These are rainbow drops and I don't know why but I love them.

Lipstick- I always have a lipstick lose in my bag, its easy to get to and should be a colour that goes with everything! The one I have at the moment is 'Maybelline Colour Sensational Popsticks Citrus Slice (060)'

Body Spray- I don't really have to explain this. It's just good to have this so you can keep smelling nice through the whole day! 

Anyway I hope you are all doing well and enjoying your week!

Much love <3

My Music Favorites For Travelling!

Hello my lovelies,
As you will know I started college this week and yes that does mean even more bus journeys and longer days! As it is college I won't be there all the time and to get there lets just say it takes a while. During this time I have listened to so much music that I thought I would let you lovely people know what I have been loving recently! However first thing first is a little disclaimer this is just my music taste you can listen to whatever you want this is just a few of my suggestions... also get some good headphones!!

1. I know they have been everywhere but I feel like a mother I have been watching them on youtube and listening to them since forever! BASTILLE. They have released an album recently called 'Bad Blood' and I love it! It's just easy listening!

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/bad-blood/id584375368

2. 'the XX' These guys' music is so calming but has an alternative edge to it which I personally really like. It makes it its' own and makes it different. I have their new album 'co-exsist' on replay it feels like at the moment.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/coexist/id555642294

3. Bon Iver. I have only just started listening to this but honestly where has it been all my life! It is so calming and relaxing, perfect for early morning bus rides! Please do yourself a favor and listen to this youtube video of him live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9Tp5fl18Ho
I have the album 'Bon Iver' which I guess isn't the most inventive of names...

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/bon-iver/id436243980

4. Lastly I have been enjoying Ben Howard. I'm not sure why but I really can't get enough of it! The music is amazing and I love his guitar playing sounds silly but I really do haha! I really love the song 'keep your head up' I just think it's a real mood brightener!

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/every-kingdom/id453454953

I hope this gives you some ideas as what to listen to.
Please tell me your favourite music at the moment to!
I hope you're all having an amazing week I'm trying to do a lookbook blog post of some outfits I have been wearing at college this past week, BUT it is proving rather difficult :(
Much love <3

My Make-up Wishlist

Hello my lovelies,

Recently I have been running out of all my makeup! My foundation needs chucking away and my blusher! It feels like I've lost alot of products that are quite essential all at once. I decided to let you know what I'll be looking to buy this time and why as it may help some of you with your choices to :)

1. Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation. This foundation has had some really good reviews. I also want to go back to a liquid foundation rather than a mousse one as I found it to be quite drying and very dull on the skin. I really like the look of this and hope it lives upto the expectation. BUT for £9 you can't go wrong!

£8.99 at Superdrug

2. Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer. I know what you're probably thinking. You haven't had it yet?! No I haven't I already had a concealer and thought I would continue with that but now its time for change so I decided to jump on the band-wagon so to speak and add this to my list of 'to purchase' items! 

£3.69 at Superdrug.

3. Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. This brush has been talked and talked about with beauty bloggers everywhere and alot of my friends have suggested it to me. It is meant to be used for applying and blending foundation. The brush is also super soft so that is an added bonus! 

£8.99 at Superdrug

4. This one is a little more pricey but I think you will be able to understand. Mac Lipstick- Russian Red.

I really love Macs' lipsticks they are really soft and creamy which I think is great because you know they won't dry your lips out. It has a really great colour and after swatching it it took ages to come off and I was wiping it with a wet wipe, which makes me think it will be long lasting as well! 

£15 online at maccosmetics.co.uk

5. This is the last one and it's not from a specific brand but it is these lip crayons that have been going round. I have tried a couple out and they are so so so nice its crazy! I have 2 brands which I know do them and that is Revlon and Bourjois. I have read a couple of reviews and think I will most likely go for Bourjois version as I have read a couple of reviews saying these last longer etc. 

Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon £7.99 at Superdrug

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain £7.99 at Superdrug.

What do you guys want this September I would love it if you let me know :)

I hope you're all having a great week and just remember it's FRIDAY!!!

Much love <3

Change

Hello my lovelies,
I'm off to college soon and I am very afraid! It will be so different and big but I know that I won't be alone and I am ready for the change but it doesn't stop you from being nervous about being in a different enviroment.
However due to this change I have made a big decision to literally just go with it! I'm going to say yes to more things stop being so awkward and start to be confident this year I am taking subjects that I want to do and that despite my lack of self confidence in myself on paper I'm good at them and I think I need to start believing in that! There are many ways starting at school or a different college etc could go but I think if I go with the right attitude then I will feel more comfortable when I get there.
So here is my challenge for you, think of a situation that you are scared or worried about right now and think about how you can do it whether it be a change in attitude or asking for help but I think we should all have a yes attitude because from my experience it has really helped me with the way I feel in myself and other situations.
I hope you all have a great start of term
You are all amazing and have no reason to be worried
Much love <3

Bloglovin'

Hello my lovelies,

You also get little update emails telling you who has been posting. It's honestly a really good way to have all the blogs you want to follow in one place :)
Hope you're all having a good week
Much love <3

First Dates

Hello my lovelies,

recently a couple of my friends have been having a couple of dates with their big time crushes and I think it is really sweet so much so I figured you guys might need a couple of tips or a little help with your outfit for such an occasion. Just a little disclaimer before we get going any items featured in this are pieces that I love and would wear for a date I am not doing product placement or anything :) 

Anyway...

Tip No1: Make sure you eat something before hand because you don't know when you could be eating again if it's a cinema date or if you're just hanging out. BUT if you're going out for a meal obviously don't eat this follows on to 

Tip No2: If you go for something to eat order what you like don't order a salad that you hate because you think it will impress him in my experience guys don't care what you eat but like girls who do eat what they want.

Tip No3: Don't wear lots of make-up if it's a first date just keep your make-up natural. Foundation, a little bit of mascara and some lippy goes a long way. Besides I highly doubt any of you need that much either.

Tip No4: Outfits. This is quite important but not for the reasons you think. You don't have to impress a guy on your first date by your outfit but you don't want him to think you haven't made any effort. I have come up with a couple of ideas by using polyvore to help you with your outifits 

Outfit Number 1:

Jacket-Topshop
Bow- Claires
Scarf- Zara
Bag- Cambridge Satchel Company
Boots- Topshop
Dress- Brandy Melville
Having your hair in a half up half down style secured with the bow would look really cute with this outfit and some slouchy socks with the boots would look super to.

Outfit Number 2:

Cardigan- Vila Brianna
Top- Topshop
Skirt- Brandy Melville
Socks- Topshop
Bag- Zara
Shoes- Converse

Last but not least

Outift Number 3:

Hoodie- Topshop
Top- Topshop
Jeans- Topshop
Boots- Topshop
Socks- Topshop
Lipstick- Topshop
Bag- Prada
I know this is a lot of Topshop but it wasn't intentional at all!

Finally Tip No5: Be yourself. Cheesy as it sounds it's actually very sensible, I mean would you want a guy to go on a second date with you when you weren't acting how you normally do? There's no point to it. Be yourself because you're the best version of you that you could be.

I hope this helps you a little bit :) but remember you can't start dating until your 16! (boys are smelly!)

Hope you're all having a good week and have enjoyed summer!

Good luck to everyone who's starting school/college/uni. I am bricking it!

Much love <3
