I'm lusting after...


1) Superdrug Effects Cool Blonde - I've just ombred my hair (pics to come soon) and the ends are quite a brassy orange so I've been desperate to get this to tone it down a bit but it's sold out online AND in my local shop!!

2) Matalan satin plunge bra - I adore this bra, I think it's gorgeous and I love how Matalan has pictures of people wearing the bras. Creepy as it sounds, I like to see how boobs look in a bra before I buy (especially if I'm buying online).

3) Topshop blush in Afternoon Tea - Honestly? I just want it for the name.

4) Virtue Queen of Hearts stacking ring - I got one of the Virtue stacking rings for my birthday last month and I love it and unlike Pandora they do sizes small enough for my stupidly skinny fingers. I REALLY like this one but considering it's a heart, I don't think I can really buy it for myself. Might have to give the boyfriend a nudge!

5) Suede effects chunky cut out nude wedges - These wedges are from the Ebay shop I did a blog post about; Hidden Fashion. I think these are the perfect "I'm now 18 so need some clubbing heels that won't kill my feet" shoes!

6) Soap & Glory Mist You Madly - I got the body butter in this scent in a big gift set for Christmas about 3 years ago and it's the best thing I've EVER smelt so I've been meaning to get this ever since but always forget!

7) River Island Tshirt - My go to item at the moment is a boyfriend fit tshirt and the saying couldn't describe me better, I just wish it wasn't £15... can I really justify spending that on a tshirt that has such an ironic slogan?

8) Superdrug Hot Cloth Cleanser - I've read such good reviews of this cleanser and people have said it's as good as the Liz Earle one but I've been waiting for it to go on offer before buying it because for a Superdrug own brand product I think it's quite pricey (£5.99). It's half price at the moment so will have to make a trip to Superdrug soon.

9) Revlon Urban - Finally, I saw swatches of this nail polish on someone's blog and it reminded me how much I love really dark nail polishes, I think they really suit my pale skin. It's not exactly a summer colour but I can see myself living in this in the autumn/winter.

ASOS sale haul

Oh dear. ASOS sale + 10% student discount + free delivery  = too much temptation!!!
 I've been wanting a new purse with more card slots in because my current one is quite small and whilst I really like it, it only has 2 spaces when ideally I need 4 or 5 ideally so when I spotted this River Island purse for £6 (from £10) in the sale I thought I wouldn't get a much better deal! I quite like the simple design BUT
 the inside is a horrible leather look shiny red mess! On the asos website it shows one picture of the inside of the purse and it's black which is really frustrating and it also feels quite flimsy and the popper on the front is quite difficult to do up which would be a pain in a rush so I'll probably send this back even though part of me loves it! :(

Recently, I've been going through an oversized/boyfriend tshirt with skinny jeans or jeggings phase and asos sells the best oversized tshirts!! The tshirt on the left is by Vera Moda and was £8.50 from £12. I'm a bit obsessed with stripes and I've been searching for the perfect staple blue and white stripe top and I think I've found it!! It's got roll up sleeves and a pocket on the front (which I'm not too keen on actually). 
 The second top is a peach washed tie die effect top that I didn't actually get in the sale but it's now reduced so thought I'd include it. It's now £10.50 from £18 and I've worn this a lot!! Unfortunately the rolled sleeves have become a bit unrolled in the wash so I need to sort that somehow but I love it! 
The third top I've been after for months so as you can imagine I was a happy bunny when I saw it in the sale! It was £8 from £12 and again like the other two it's quite loose and oversized. It's almost box shaped which made it quite difficult to tuck one side into my jeans but still, this is probably my favourite item at the moment!

Ebay finds!


I got both of these on Ebay. The one on the left is from topshop and was about £5 and the mon cheri top is from River Island orginally and was part of the autumn/winter range which was reduced in the January sales. I was so desperate for it but by the time I realised it was in the sale my size had sold out and they didn't have it in my local shop. Luckily, my lovely boyfriend saw it on ebay and paid £20 (!!) for it. I love wearing both of these with my jeggings and high tops. They're my two favourite tops at the moment.


The dress on the left is a dark green jersey skater dress from New Look which again, I got off ebay for about £5. I love dresses but never have anywhere to wear them but this ones quite casual so I convinced myself I needed it because I'd wear it all the time which I doubt I actually will! The chain print skater dress is from Miss Guided originally but I got it from a local woman closing down her shop for £5. It's not really my kind of dress and the chain print isn't seen very often any more but for a fiver I couldn't help myself!


This cardigan was off ebay, originally from New Look and was also about £5. I love it so much. It reminds me of spring/summer and i can't wait to wear it. I love the multi coloured flecked detail and even the buttons are cute!!!
