Festival bound...


Hi there! Here we have an outfit ready for the Summer.  Get me to a festival!!









Kaftan // River Island // £40
Joy Division vest top // H&M // £7.99
Levi cut offs // Charity Shop
Shoes // Ebay // £22.99

Firstly I wasn't sure whether this was classed as a kaftan or a kimono? I actually cannot find this on the website so can't check! I went with a front opening kaftan! 

I love this outfit so much! The detailing on this kaftan really is incredible.  Even better close up! I have a bit of a love/ hate relationship with River Island.  Sometimes I will find something (like this amazing kaftan) and I will fall in love instantly, other times I walk in and find everything awful! I thought I would style it quite casually.  This would look equally as great bare legged on the beach somewhere....unfortunately I had to settle for Wales.  

P.S 

If you have a second and are feeling generous please do nominate me in the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards! In Best New Fashion Blog.  I would be so grateful! If you click the button to the right it will take you straight to the voting form! Thank You!

Fashion NonSense UK // The London Necklace

After getting a Twitter follow from jewellery company Fashion NonSense, I (as I usually do when people/companies follow me) immediately checked out their website.  On there I fell. In. Love.  If you are a fan of quirky pieces that will really make you stand out then Fashion NonSense is the site for you! So when they contacted me then sent me this beautiful necklace I was literally over the moon! 


London necklace // Fashion NonSense // £11.50

The necklace itself is extremely well made with the cutest little charms all with a London theme! I'm not a fan of charm bracelets generally, I find them annoying when going about my business! So a charm necklace is the perfect compromise for me! 

The website is full of necklaces, bracelets and rings. Here is another of my favourite pieces! What I like, is that nothing on the site in my opinion is overpriced and the delivery is free when you spend over £20!

What do you think of the necklace? Will you be checking out Fashion NonSense?

P.S

Thought I would try something a little different photo wise too! I hope you like it!

The one with the Primark Zara dupes.


Shoes // Primark // £12.00
Leggings // Primark // £6.00 

This blog is fast becoming a shoe blog!! But today on a quick scan of the latest Primark shoe drops (I live in Wrexham we get everything last!) I found these beauties! At only £12 I snapped them up straight away.  Recently I have become slightly obsessed with patterned leggings, never thought I would hear myself say that! Cannot wait to style these with my array of jazzy leggings!!

Bargain cut out shoes!


 Hello lovelies! Quick post here to tell you about my new shoes! These were purchased on Ebay for a bargainous price! £22.99 to be exact. They were from this Ebay seller and I have to say I am, over the moon with them! They look great on and I will be doing an outfit post with them soon so keep your eyes peeled! 

P.S 

I got a new camera can you tell? Here's to clearer pictures on my blog so you can see all the detailing more clearly! Wooo!

Review // Maybelline Color Show // Polka Dots

Hello there lovelies! I bought these nail polishes a couple of weeks ago in Boots after randomly coming across them in my daily perusals of the make up counters (I work across the road from Boots, sooo not good for my bank balance!).  Before I picked these up I had never heard of them or read a single review, crazy as they are immense! I was so impressed with these nail polishes that I got one in each colour! 


Maybelline Color Show Polish // £2.99 // Boots

How cute! The speckled effect is so popular right now and Maybellines version is a fab addition to the array of speckled polishes available the illamasqua polishes immediately spring to mind!!

What do you think of these polishes? Have you tried them out?
 Please do let me know!

Smart prints...

Hi there! Here's a quick outfit post for you! I entered this in a recent competition with Clothing at Tesco and won a cool £75 worth of vouchers to spend online! Amazing! So look out for my haul as I went slightly over the £75 in the end! Three new pairs of shoes anyone!! Enjoy!





Skirt // H&M // £12.99
Shirt // TK Maxx // £12.99
Necklace // H&M // £5.99
Earrings // Primark // £2.50


I fell in love with the print on this skirt instantly! It's such a great colour, cobalt blue is literally my fave colour EVER. Yes, EVER. This skirt would look equally as great with a pair of sandals of flatforms and a simple tee! I thought I would add a bit of interest with this neon lime nail colour I got from Next! They have some amazing nail colours in there I might try out a few other bits from the make-up range when I'm in there next! 

Love this necklace too! It's a bit twisty so I am always rearranging it, but I don't mind as it's lovely! Primark have some amazing stud packs in at the minute I bought this entire pack purely for the little triangle studs! The rest were just a bonus!

What do you think of this outfit? Do you like wearing prints? How will you be rocking prints as the weather warms up?

Polka what...

Hi there! I hope you are well! I have jumped on the ripped denim bandwagon, a few stops too late but ah well, better late than never hey! I've wanted some for ages but have never found a pair I really liked at the right price.  Then I spotted these in H&M, well I actually spotted them weeks ago but I thought they were too masculine for me.  Sounds crazy I know but they look different on the hanger! I bought them on a whim and now I love them.  Except I picked up the wrong size! A baggy crotch is never a good look is it ladies, so I shall be swapping them tomorrow! Thought I'd do a little post on them with my new spotty tee! Enjoy! 




 Polka Dot T-Shirt // Divided Red @ H&M // £7.99
Jeans // H&M // £19.99
Necklace //H&M // £5.99
Bag // Primark // £8.00

Bit of a H&M love in here! Ah, it's my genuine favourite highstreet shop with Primark coming a close second! The quality of items from H&M really is something else, I've got tops and dresses I bought around 8 years ago that are still going strong! So I like to get my jeans from here too! In fact here's a link to a previous post in which I am wearing H&M jeans! They are a really good fit! 

This polka dot t-shirt is a right bargain.  It's huuuuge. This is a size small! If you shop in Divided Red then I am sure you will know sometimes you have to go a size up as the clothes are so small! This I would stick to your usual size unless you like the really over-sized look! 

I love this bag! I've been on the hunt for a new 'black, goes with everything can fit the kitchen sink in' bag and this one is perfect. I was a bit unsure when I saw it in the shop but when I got it home I literally thought it was the best thing since sliced bread! It's a really nice material, faux suede on the side and faux leather front and back.  The little padlock is remnant of designer bags and doesn't look cheap or tacky! Brilliant! 

P.S 

If you are feeling kind and you like what I do then please please could you nominate my blog in the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards 2013? In the Best New Fashion Blog category! I would be so grateful! You can vote for mine or indeed any of your favourite blogs right here!
