G O L D INTERIOR INSPO

29 April 2015


I love interior design. But I am a huge lover of the white walls, shabby chic furniture and added a spruce of colour here and there. As you know, I love Pinterest, which again, if you haven't got... you need to go and sign up right now and starting pinning! It is a great source of inspiration. 

But lately, adding to the love of white, is gold! It just adds a hint of warmth as white walls or white furniture can make a room become quite cold. I have attached images below from my Pinterest which I have found are good examples of the interior design I am currently loving.

FAVOURITE FRAGRANCES

21 April 2015


Like my mum, I am obsessed when it comes to fragrances. Not quite like her actually, I take it back. She has way too many! A whole cupboard full, some not even opened yet because she can't bare to use them until another bottle is finished. It is quite funny, bless her.

Anyway, this post as you have already seen is a selected few of my favourite fragrances. I won't go into detail as to why each fragrance is my favourite, it is SO hard to describe a scent, am I right? However these fragrance are strictly my favourite purely because I love pretty smelling scents. They remind me of the summer, they have a fruity scent to them also, which is something I always make sure a fragrance has. I also fall in love with the bottles!

So the favourite fragrances are as followed; 
1. Ralph Lauren ; Big Pony #2
2. Thierry Mugler ; Alien
3. Marc Jacobs ; Daisy
4. Chloe
5. Chloe Roses

What are your favourite fragrances?

BEAUTY THINGS I SUCK AT

8 April 2015


I don't know about you, but I am not good at everything when it comes to make up. Sure I would love to be perfect at it all, but then I would learn any new ways of doing it. So below are my tell tales of the beauty things I do suck at. 

1. Eyeliner, I think quite a few girls have a love/hate relationship with this product. It doesn't matter if its pencil, gel or liquid it is one of those things you have to duplicate on the other eye and it could become a hack job - easily! I have found that gel eyeliner works easiest for me as I have more control over the brush, and a top tip is also to use sellotape as a guide! Without that tape though, my eyeliner does not stand a chance for looking the same!

2. Nails, eugh. I absolutely hate painting my nails. It is boring! It is messy! And it is smelly!!!! So dramatic I know, but I seriously can't stand it, and I don't want to pay out to have my nails done by someone else either so I do simply leave them. I also have to have them cut short too. I'm not a girl with pretty nails.

3. Blusher. I love blusher but I actually do a shoddy over the top look if I'm not careful. I pack too much on the brush and just dive straight in there with an end result - a clown. I tend to stick to the bronzer until I've mastered being careful with blusher!

4. Lipstick, I'm terrible at apply bright lipstick, every other shade is fine! But if it is bright, bright pink, red... whatever I have a real melt down. I definitely have to use a lipliner otherwise I've got the product feathering everywhere.

What beauty things do you suck at?

BEAUTY HAUL

6 April 2015


Good afternoon!
I hope you had a lovely Easter for those who celebrate it! I decided to treat myself as I start my new job tomorrow and I feel genuinely happy lately, so why not?

I went into Superdrug, which I don't really do, as I am more of a Boots gal! However Boots was shut today and I was desperate to buy ha! I've needed a new sponge, since I happily gave my one away to my younger sister and never repurchased one! I picked this up for £5.99 which is pretty good in my opinion as they last for ages!

I noticed this Superdrug still stock the Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser which I have been looking round for, however I opted for the Naturally Radiant one this time which I believe was half price at £2.98! I love skincare and I am hoping this is good to use!

Next up is Kate Moss lipstick shade in 35, she has recently released some new shades, which I need to get my hands on! I only noticed this one in stock, however I will be purchasing them as I come across them. This was £5.49.

I adore Collection's Cream Puff as they are so cheap at £2.99 you can't go wrong! I plan on wearing this with a subtle pink lip liner for a cute nude look.

I'm not very adventurous with concealers, I normally stick to what I know,  but I noticed this, and I know the foundation is good, so I have high hopes for this Rimmel Lasting Finish concealer -     
£5.49.

Finally I wanted to opt for a different powder, I have never changed my powder... ever. I have always stuck to Rimmel, however as the weather is getting warmer, out comes my oily skin! Which does suck! But I'll give this a go and for £3.99 you can't complain.

Have you tried any of these products?

RAINY OOTD

3 April 2015




I hate the rain. I hate the cold, my favourite time of year is Spring, but it has its downfall when it comes to the spring showers and that is currently what is happening. It just makes outfits hard to style! That's my opinion. You have a nice outfit, yet you have to put that thick coat on, the one with the fluffy hood, because nothing else will do, not even an umbrella with the winds that we have to face!

I went for something simple and casual with a little bit of girly with the lace on the top! Outfit details are below.





Top; H&M
Jeans; Primark
Belt; H&M
Shoes: Vans - Office


What is your rainy day choice of outfit?

PINTEREST MONTHLY LOVING

1 April 2015


I love April, it is my favourite month, not because it is the month of my birthday, but I really feel like Spring is so apparent and I can't wait to be welcomed by the warmer weather! If you don't already have Pinterest, I strongly recommend that you go get it! It is a life saver for inspiration and becoming bored when you are having to wait around. 

Follow my Pinterest here

1. Office Inspiration, I love looking at such clean spaces. I don't know about you, but I can't work well with distractions, even clutter around me. So to have a clean and simple environment to blog in, it is a perfect remedy for my inspiration and a more motivated mind!

2. Messy hair and comfy jumpers! As it is Spring, it is time to start introducing the subtle and soft colours back into the wardrobe, I know my statement colours have been black, grey and white recently so I think I need to make that start of changing! As for the messy hair, soft waves and messy fringes, just appeal to me so much! I always go back to a full fringe, but for now as the warmer weather is creeping in, it is time to grow it out so I don't add to being hot!

3. Pretty bags and sunglasses. I can't wait to get my sunnies out and treat myself to a nice new bag. If you still are loving all the black, white and grey trends, treating yourself to a new bag with a hint of colour is just an exceptional way to make those simple colours softer and welcoming to Spring!

4. Have you noticed the pink theme yet? I love baby pink this month so far, and it is only the 1st of April! I love the skirt and the white really bring out her tan! Everything about it is so inspirational, now we just have to wait for the warmer days to ditch the tights and show off the tanned up pins!
