OOTD / Shopping Haul!

I had a long week and was feeling a bit down so as always I took to the shops!!

So let’s start with my OOTD, I hit the Trafford Centre last night with my cousin Jade, we shopped for around 2 hours and I totalled up a bill of about £100, but it felt so good to do a bit of retail therapy and I got a few new outfits! Below shows my outfit for today, I got my jewellery from forever 21, my top and jacket are from the fantastic Primark, I love the jacket, it’s really summery and the pattern really stands out, it’s nice and thin as well!

Jeans are my worst enemy, I generally stay away from them because I can never fit in them, but I have been dieting for around a month now so I thought I would be brave. Low and behold I found the perfect pair!! I weighed myself this morning and I have lost 1 Stone so I’m a very happy bunny!!! I love the acid washed look for jeans at the moment, this pair I found in new look. My sunnies I came across accidentally, I nipped in Next to pick up some perfume because I love the Gold perfume, and as I was stood in the queue I spied these gold aviators they were sparkling singing ‘buy me, buy me’ So I did!! Lol.  Finally my sandals, these I picked up in Wynsors a couple of weeks ago but they match my outfit perfectly!

I hit Tesco to get all my beauty products because I had run out of literally everything! I always get the same make-up as you can see from the picture below, I love my simple wipes because they don’t dry my skin out, I also picked up a simple day cream and a night cream which I used last night and this morning, I will write a little review about them next weekend when I have had a good week of use of them and can tell how good to my skin they are!! 

My hair products are John Frieda Go Blonder shampoo and conditioner, I use these all the time and would recommend these to anyone who bleaches their hair as it really conditions my ends and keeps my hair in good nick! I have used the conditioning treatment today and my hair is so soft, I will also do a full review of this in a couple of weeks as it’s only the first day I have used it I can’t really judge, but Tesco have them at 3 for 2 so it’s a great bargain!! My body products are Vaseline Cocoa oil, this is amazing, I discovered this about a year ago, I use it after shaving my legs and it leaves them so silky smooth it’s amazing!! The Garnier lotion is a hint of tan one, I've never used it before so I will also review this when I've had a good few goes out of it and see how the tan looks!

Have a great weekend everyone! Peace & Love xx

R is for Rings...

So this post is a tad late but its bank holiday and I’ve been enjoying myself relaxing, making some jewellery, catching up with my mum and dad after they arrived home from two weeks in Thailand and then seeing my little sister and going to the cinema! So as you can see it’s been a busy one! I have only just got home so I’m going to keep this one short and sweet as I’m running out of steam today!!

Rings are something I have grown to love, I’ve had many over the years but never seem to keep hold of them, I struggle with finding rings as I have quite big hands for a girl, average for my size/height but compared to small girl hands mine are obviously bigger. I have no idea what ring size I am, I just try them on until I find one that fits!! I have put together an image as always for you guys to see what my favourite five rings are!

The top left set of rings is one I got from Primark a few years ago, I have been lucky with the as they don’t turn my finger green and I haven’t had an allergic reaction to the metal!! Bonus! The one to the right of that is a present I got from my aunty Michelle for my 21^st birthday from John Lewis by Dyrberg and Kern and this is like my go to ring as its simple but sparkly and it goes with everything and anything!! The middle skull ring is my newest addition to my rings; it was one of my eBay £1 bargains! The bottom left orange oval ring was a gift from my mum and dad from the V&A in London, obviously with orange being my favourite colour I try and match this ring with as much as I can!! And finally my blue glass ring, this is probably my favourite as it is so unusual, this was also a gift from my parents from Malta.

These beauties are ones I have spotted on the Boodles site, I am in love with these and hope that one day if I'm extremely lucky I will one day get to wear one like these... A girl can dream hey! ;)

Anyway, that is me done for the night, I need my beauty sleep, stay tuned this weekend and I will try and fulfil your blog reading needs… ;)

Happy Good Friday and enjoy your Easter bank holiday!

Peace and Love xx

Retail Therapy, Me Time

Okay so I have been feeling a bit down over the past couple of days so I figured it was time for some retail therapy and me time! There is no better pick me up than treating yourself…I started my afternoon getting my nails done at USA Nails in Stockport, then I had to pick up some birthday presents and a mother’s day present for my mama bear! I did great with these but I can’t post the gifts until they have opened them because they read my blog! 

I then got to treating myself, I started in Blue Inc. as this was where I picked my brothers birthday present from, I got a new ‘twisted’ beanie and a gorgeous night sky dress. I moved onto Primark then, I always get really random things when I go in here and as I didn't need anything other than new black socks you can tell! I got socks, and thinking of the dress I had just bought I got some black tights for it and then a silver pointed statement necklace, I'm loving jerseys at the moment so I couldn't resist this vest! And the sunglasses were £1, that’s right £1 each, so I had to buy 2 pairs of course!! So here is my haul…

Nails £15

Blue Inc: Dress £5, Twisted Beanie £6

Primark: Vest £6, Necklace £3, Socks £3, Tights £2, Sunglasses £1
