Hello my lovelies,
On Friday a package from the wonderful Shop Dixi appeared through my letter box. I have been in York over the weekend which is why I didn't post this on the day. 
I bought 2 Midi rings and I love them both! please check out their website www.shopdixi.com. 
I really like everything they have in at the moment. 
First of all can we just take a moment to appreciate how cute their packaging is.

The first ring I got was the 'Silver Wishbone Midi Ring' which was £8. 
This is so cute and dainty. 
I definitely intend on purchasing more.

The other ring I got was the 'Plain Band Midi Ring' in Silver this again was £8.
I also really love this because of how small and dainty it is again.
 I also want to purchase more as I think it helps to tie an outfit together.

Anyway I hope you're all having a great week!
Much love <3

Hello my lovelies,
As you might know in November last year I went to Italy with a group of lovely people. 
I know this post is a bit late seen as though its January but I just got some of my pictures developed from my disposable camera. I think that this was a really good idea and I wish I took more photos because they look super cool! I absolutely loved Italy and everyone I met. I hope to go back soon, so here are my pictures.
My gorgeous friend Joanna came to Italy with me you can see half of her face here after an abomination of a selfie but i like this picture despite its obvious flaws. This is from when we were on the plane which btw took longer than anticipated!
This is a better photo and I think it's from when we landed in Italy. This is Joanna you can see her properly now! 

This photo is from when we went to Pisa. I really liked Pisa and we met some lovely girls just from them photo bombing one of our pictures which frustratingly I can not find.



Here are some more photos from Pisa. I really like the way these look, sort of old and vintagey.
These are the girls I went with and I really enjoyed my time there. Thank you to my lovely hosts and everyone who helped us whilst we were there! 
As I said I hope to go back very soon and I think I will really enjoy being in such a beautiful country some more.
I hope you're all having a really good week! 
Much love <3

Hello my lovelies, 
Todays post is going to be my January wishlist.
As it's the time of the sales I am hoping to do some shopping so here is what I hope to be purchasing.

1. A smock dress. These are perfect from Winter through to summer they can be worn with thick tights and big chunky boots or no tights and a cut-out shoe. I really like the print on this one from Boohoo and for £18 you can't go wrong! 

2. I really like long t-shirts that can be worn as a dress or as a top over leggings. This one from Missguided is so lovely! The pattern detail is so simple but adds so much to it. It comes in Black or White but to be really honest I want it in both. It costs £16.99 which again is a great price.



3. The last item thats a dress I promise! This is also from Missguided and again I think it's a really nice edgy piece. Both for Winter through to Summer. Again it comes in black and white and again I can't decide! These are also £16.99


4. Topshop have some really lovely chunky cut out boots and you all know how much I love a chunky boot so these are just perfect for the warmer days! They're £42 but look like they'd last a long time.

5. This little number is from Newlook and I absolutely fell in love with it! It's just a simple faux leather backpack but I think it looks great! Very simple but looks like it would be super handy! It is £17.99.


6. This one is a bit more on the pricey side. It's a powder from Chanel called Poudre Universelle Compacte Natural Finish Pressed Powder. The reason I want this is because I worked out how much I've been spending on powders and I normally have to by at least 2/3 a year not including if it breaks so I thought it would be better to get one that lasts, as I know a fair few people who have this and it has lasted them years, then buy a new one every 5-6 months when I hit pan. The price ranges from £29.50-£33.
  
7. This last item is another high end product I've been eyeing up for ages it's the YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in Rose Opera. The colour is a really nice deep rose pink and I really like the texture of these lipsticks as well as the packaging. The prices range from £11.75-£24.50 at  Debenhams. The picture below is not of the shade I mentioned above.

I hope you're all enjoying the January sales as much as I am. 
I also hope you're all having a great week! Thank goodness it's the weekend! 
Much love <3

Hello my lovelies, 
I thought that maybe I would do a perfume collection post. I don't have a lot of perfumes and I am most definitely not bragging, I just thought it might help/interest some of you so you can see how I store it and which ones I have.


So as you can see I have a set of 2 drawers, I use the top on for my daily makeup and underneath I have my earrings and a couple of necklaces. I just put my perfumes on top because I thought they looked pretty and I don't have much room for them anywhere else.

I have had this one the longest as you can see it's nearly gone. This is a really nice scent it smells quite sweet when it's on and it is really nice when you smell it at some point during the day. It is a really nice scent and I love wearing it. It's called Apple Juice by Zara

This little cutie was a Christmas present from my lovely gran. It is perfect for in your handbag to freshen up during the day.I love the scent of this one it's a sort of sweet musk, I know I'm terrible at describing scents, I really love this scent and this is my second bottle, it's more of an Autumnal/Winter scent and I really like it. I'm not sure on the name on the box it said Nina Ricci Paris so I'm going with that.

This was also a Christmas Present but from my mama and dad. Daisy by Marc Jacobs, I love this perfume so so much I've wanted a big bottle for ages as I had a small tester before hand and went through it like water! I love this scent as it is quite a light and sweet floral scent. It is the perfect scent for anytime especially summer and I can't wait to wear it then!
I hope to add to my collection as I always like to switch up my perfumes.
I hope you're having a good week.
Much love <3

Hello my lovelies,
For Christmas this year I asked for some big chunky boots for when it gets snowy, so my lovely mama got me some Vagabond Libby boots. I absolutely love them! They are perfect for me and so easy to style! 
They are black leather sort of Chelsea boot style with a zip on the other side. They're so comfy and honestly didn't take anytime at all to break in. At first I thought they would be too high or too heavy but they're honestly not I've spent all day walking in them and have had zero discomfort.
They are a bit more on the pricey side but I know they're going to last me forever. My mama got these from Urban Outfitters but I don't know if they're still in stock however I think they're still on the Vagabond website and they're the same price aswell! They're just under £90 incase you were wondering :)


I hope you're all enjoying yourselves! 
Much love <3

Hello my lovelies,
I wasn't planning on blogging today but I ordered a couple of things from the wonderful Shop Dixi and they came today so I thought I'd share them with you.
I bought 2 necklaces that came together. They were the Treasure Island Necklace Set in Silver.
I really like how they aren't completely silver they look quite worn and I think it looks great.
The necklaces are different lengths so naturally I saw an opportunity to layer.

One of the necklaces is a coin and I think that this is really cute because it's quite detailed on the actual coin.
This is the longer of the necklaces but it's not too long so again I really like that.

The other necklace is a wishbone. I love wishbone jewellery I think it's a really nice looking charm for on a necklace.This one just fits like a normal necklace would. I think that it's a really wearable piece.

All together they cost around £14, which I think is really good considering I got 2 and they look great!
I hope you're all having a great day!
Much love <3

Hello my lovelies,
Today I thought I'd do a Favourites of 2013 post. I also just want to say I hope you guys had an amazing new year and I hope that 2014 is even better to you!
First product- is my Estee Lauder eye shadow palette. I'm not sure what this palette is called as I've had it quite a while so it's kind of rubbed off, so I'm sorry that's not very helpful. But anyway, I really love using this as an everyday palette because of the different combinations and that all the colours are very wearable. They are also super pigmented, which I love! I just think it's a great all round palette.


Second product- is my Soap&Glory hand products. I'm not a germophobe (I'm not sure what the proper name is) or anything but I do like having clean hands and something to use if they start to feel a but dry during the day. These smell delicious and work so well, I love them alot and will forever keep them in my handbag!
 Third product - is my Impulse Very Pink. This is my favourite body spray to use for during the day I especially loved this in the summer as it's quite a fresh scent.
 Fourth prodcut- is another summer product when I went on holiday to Spain in august it got so so hot but I still wanted to go sight seeing so I decided to purchase this. Honestly I love it it was so worth the money!
 Fifth product- these are my 2 favourite lip products these are just simple things not expensive but I really love them! I won't blab on about these because I've already done a post on them.
Sixth product- This is the foundation and concealer I have been using this past year and I really like them I use them all year round and sometimes the wake me up foundation can be a bit dewy during winter but I don't wear makeup alot in winter so I don't mind too much.
Last product- This is possibly my favourite product of 2013! I love Real Technique products and this is my faourite of the lot. It's the expert face brush and I just think it's amazing! It helps blend your makeup really well there are no smudge lines or anything like that!
Anyway I hope you guys enjoyed 2013 and you have an even better 2014! 
Much love! <3
