MY FAV ASOS FINDS! ❤


Hi Guys!

We all know that asos.com is one of the best places to do you online clothes shopping and with Black Friday coming up what better time to do it! The only thing is there is so much to choose from you can be on there for hours, so I thought I would make it easier by showing you a few of my favourites that you might like too.

T-shirts


I'm loving slogan tees at the moment, they're such a fun way of expressing your style.

Knitwear



Every girl needs a chunky knit cardigan in their wardrobe for winter, personally I am a fan of grey or dusty pink/purple.

Dresses



I have always been a fan of shift and A-line dresses and the shirt dress trend is one not to be missed, it's one of those styles that looks good on everyone.

Shoes



If you're going to make a statement, what better what to do it than with shoes. Show off your personality with a pop of colour or a soft suede (faux obvs).

Bags



Black bags go with everything, and these two are super cute for everyday use.


That's all for now, remember to look for pieces that can be styled in several different ways to get the most use out of them. Don't forget to take full advantage of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals guys!!

Please let me know your favourite ASOS finds in the comments as I would love to see them :)

MY HALLOWEEN OUTFIT


Hi guys!!

I am so so excited to go out this Halloween it's such a fun holiday and I've decided to wear something a little different this time. Rather than going for the standard character dress up I have decided to wear some 'Halloween-chic' style clothes that I found online on ASOS.com.



Here's the over sized tee I'm going to wear as a dress cause hey why not! When I was telling my mum about this she did not get the pun or find it funny at all, but personally I think it's great! £18


I'm going to pair it with these tights, I was drawn to them because of how cool the bats look on the sheer background, I think it looks really effective. £8



As for shoes I am not going to wear these exact ones but a similar pair that I already own which I bought ages ago. These ones are very cute though, I wanted to go for just a simple heel because I didn't want to take away from the rest of the outfit and make it look too busy. £25


I have an obsession with tassels at the moment, I realise they are not for everyone but I just think they are so fun and pretty. Plus you can obviously use this for other occasions not just Halloween and black goes with everything so you basically can't lose! £18



If you felt like adding a fun accessory and a little bit of glitter to your outfit then this spider phone case is definitely one to consider. It's all about seasonal accessories right now I love it! (for iphone 5 only in this design) £8


Then just add a few sparkly black/grey jewellery pieces and you'll be golden! All items were from ASOS.com, a truly amazing site that I have been using for years.

So that's what I'm going to be wearing for Halloween, hope you enjoyed reading about it and that it's given you a few ideas if you haven't got anything already. If you have I would love to know what you're wearing please leave a comment about it!

There will be more posts to come soon, see you then!

I GOT A NEW SHIRT + LIFE STUFF


Hey guys!!

Look I got a new shirt isn't it pretty!? Well if I'm honest we were doing a food shop in ASDA and when I spotted it my lovely boyfriend offered to get it for me. :) I just adore the pattern and the rose gold button detail, plus when I tried it on it was super comfortable and soft material. I was wearing black leggings at the time which I thought it looked alright with but jeans would have been a better option for me personally.

I rarely go to ASDA so I hadn't taken the time to have a proper look at the George range before, but now that I have I love it! I will be sure to check out their range more regularly, most likely online purely because the store is not that easy for me to get to. If you like the pattern but want to make it a bit more girly then they also do it in a shift dress which comes down to the knee. They also had lots of extremely cosy looking knitwear which I was tempted by but as I recently got my wraps from M&S it was probably best that I wait for a bit! Besides the next thing I want to buy is some slippers because I live in bed socks when I am walking around the house but it would be nice to have something a little more shoe-like you know?

Here's some close up pics of the shirt:
 (This one shows the lovely pattern)

(This one shows the gorgeous rose gold buttons, sorry my iphone 6 camera won't focus properly... my iphone 5 was better!)

This shirt cost £14 from ASDA, if you are from outside of the UK they will most probably have the same range in Walmart.


Life update:
I know I have been neglecting the blog recently and for that I am really sorry! It's just down to me being too tired to write anything, but as I have a day off today I thought I would catch you all up. Plus I am currently suffering with a cold so constant sniffling, achey eyes and headaches are also occurring. However much like Gloria Gaynor I will survive! I have some melon slices and vitamin tea to get the old immune system working again (hopefully).

I hope you all are well, as always would love to hear what's going on in your lives and any comments about this or my other posts will be very much appreciated. Follow me on Google+ for all the latest updates as a share everything on there. Thanks for reading!

WHATS ON MY CHRISTMAS LIST 2015 ❄


Hi guys!

So we are in the early days of October which basically means it's Christmas time right? I am one of those people who loves the holiday season (sorry if you find that annoying~) and I make sure I am prepared early! 

I am going to share some things I've had my eye on this season NOT so people know what to get me but just to give you a little inspiration of what to get your family and friends or even some things you might want to treat yourself to, I know I do.


1. The Benefit 'Party Poppers' Beauty Advent Calendar 2015
I don't want to ruin the surprise and give away what's inside but I'm telling you now there's a bunch of CLASSICS that you will LOVE. It's not a bad price either at £34.50 considering the contents is worth £79.17! This will be available to buy from www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk from 15th October.



2. The Naked 3 Palette by Urban Decay
I know a lot of you may already have this but I personally have never had the chance to try one of the Naked palettes out. This one caught my eye because it has some great colours to go in the crease such as 'nooner' and 'limit', plus 'mugshot' would look great with a dark lip. It's priced at £38 which to me seems quite a lot to spend on eyeshadow, but for a one off treat or present it would be ideal. It also comes with a good quality brush which is always a bonus! You can buy this from most department stores or from www.urbandecay.co.uk.



3. Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs
 A nice lady in Boots approached me and got me to smell a sample of this and I thought it was lovely. (I'm not one of those people who gets annoyed when people approach them because they are simply doing their jobs! Really bugs me when people are rude and ignore them you only have to say "no thank you"). Anyway I thought I would go back and get it close to Christmas because both the packaging and smell were amazing! You can get the 50ml bottle from Boots for £59 online and in store. Also comes in an EDT or EDP (Daisy Dream Forever) version.



There we have it, I will probably do a part two when I have spotted a few more things! But as promised here is a photo of what the nail polish mentioned in my previous post looks like on (its Field Day by Collection in shade 2. Peony):


Hope you enjoyed the post, let me know what you thought in the comments. :)
See you next time.

Autumn Fashion Finds ♡




Hey guys! :)

Autumn is my favourite month of the year, I just love how everything is so cozy. Warm drinks, woolly jumpers and cardigans, BOOTS, stepping on a crunchy leaf, collecting conkers and curling up on the sofa with a fluffy blanket. That's my idea of heaven. 

One of the best excuses to go shopping is when the seasons are changing, you have to be prepared!! Here are a few things I've spotted on my travels recently:



Faux Suede Zipped Wide Fit Ankle Boots with Insolia from Marks and Spencer £39.50
You've got to have a cute boot for autumn, they look great with jeans, thick tights and a skirt or even leggings. I always like to go for faux suede and leather because its animal friendly and WAY cheaper!

Tan Contrast Faux Fur Trim Blanket Wrap from New Look £24.99 (also available in grey)
Wraps are so on trend this season and this one is faux fur lined so it will keep your neck nice and warm as well as your body. New Look is one of the best shops I know for reasonably priced good quality clothes, and this item is sure to last you at least a few years.



Long Ribbed Twisted Yarn Cardigan from Zara £39.99
This is one for your day off when you want to feel your most comfortable, but still rocking a stylish look. Again it's easy to wear so you don't have to spend hours planning an outfit, just throw it on with a plain jumper or t-shirt and pair with jeans or leggings.

Burgundy Wool Fedora Hat by F&F at Tesco £14.00
For years I thought that I wasn't a hat person but then I tried one like this on and it looked pretty cool. I think it suits long haired people better because it makes a good contrast, but that's just my opinion! It's amazing how by adding just a simple accessory you can make an outfit seem so much more classy and chic.


That's all for now guys, hope you liked this post and it gave you some inspiration for future outfits! I may do a part 2 to this post as I'm always finding new things I love and want you to enjoy them as well. Leave a comment if you like, I would really like some feedback so I can improve my posts.
See you next time!
