GRWM: Everyday Look ♡ Spring Edition

Hey everyone! So today's post is a bit different because it's my first ever video post! I've been wanting to start a Youtube for agesssss but I've never had the courage. So, for my first video, I opted for a bit of an easier one, a 'Get Ready With Me' video so I didn't actually have to speak! I'm not a fan of speaking to a camera so this one was simple. So, short and sweet, here's my GRWM video! All the product's used are listed below. Please let me know if you like this video so I can make more and please do subscribe to my channel here. Enjoy!

My Fave Spring Colour: Rose Gold

Hi everyone! Rose gold has slowly slipped back into my selection of favourite colours. I love channeling this pretty, feminine colour in my look whether that's in my wardrobe or on my face. I find rose gold such an elegant colour and can soften up any look.

Starting with these lovely beauties for my feet. These are the 'Fraggel' shoes from Dune London (also available in tan and white) and they're the perfect summer sandals complete with a metallic rose gold coating and a block heel. These shoes are perfect for garden parties in warm weather and glam up your outfit.

Also, to go with the shoes is this amaze Michael Kors watch. I actually got this a few years ago so I think this model's quite old but there's loadssss of others to choose from! Rose gold wrist candy is a treat.

Rose gold packaging on makeup is so pretty and defo reminds me of spring. To make it even better, the makeup inside it is amazing too. I would show you inside the packaging but I have a little sister who just loves to destroy all my makeup so it's a bit of a mess. But, basically, the Benefit 'Sugar licious' contains a cheek tint, highlighter, blush and lipgloss to create a delicious look. The Ted Baker contraption is a pink blush. Finally, the Naked 3 palette (my favourite palette) contains lots of pink and brown eyeshadows. If you want me to do a tutorial using the palette let me know!

What colours are you channeling this Spring?

BAG OF THE SEASON | SPRING 2015 ♡

Hi everyone and happy Friday! I'm so sorry to all you readers for the lack of posts. I've been dealing with some personal issues so therefore haven't had the time, nor the motivation, to write anything. But now I'm back and raring to go! Today I thought I'd do a post showing my new 'it' bag of the season! Duffle bags are so in right now and I'm loving my River Island one. It's a gorgeous taupe/grey colour with gold accents. It's not too small and it's not too big either so it's perfect for everyday use. To top it all off, it was only £35 from the Asos website and you can get 10% off if you're a student - bargain or what for a fab bag?!

SPRING WISHLIST ♡

It's officially Spring! I've so been looking forward to this season because there's some amazing things in the shops right now. I usually prefer AW clothes to SS but this year I've spotted some gorgeous pieces. I'm really loving pastel pinks and blues mixed in with some crochet and fringing. Soft, airy materials are what I want to be wearing this season - perfect for those sunny days. So here's my spring wish list - let me know in the comments if you spot anything that will be going in your wish list and also, if you've made one of these, send me the link and I'd love to take a look!

Casual Evening

I never post style pictures of myself and this post is a prime example why. I have no idea why but I just look so awkward when I'm in front of the camera! No matter how much I try, I am not photogenic in the slightest. Anyways, I really liked my outfit this night so I thought I'd post it. The dress code was smart casual so I went for some casual jeans and added some heels and a cute wrap top. I will try and post more outfit pictures in the future but I'm not promising anything!

Top - Miss Selfridge £22

Jeans - Topshop £38

Shoes - Dune £69

5 key pieces you NEED this season

Although the weather still may be gloomy (well, it certainly is in the North East), Spring is just around the corner. I can't wait to just slip in to a dress, some sandals and go for a picnic already. Well, if the weather does brighten up, anyways. If you're lucky enough to live somewhere that actually has decent weather then this will be on your agenda. Say farewell to turtlenecks and boots because winter will soon be long gone. Here's 5 key pieces you need this Spring:

1. The Boho Dress

Probably my favourite piece that I'll be living in this spring. As seen on the Chloé catwalk, boho chic  with a touch of vintage is so in this season. Floaty, ditsy dresses are what it's all about. 

Millie Mackintosh Collection £65

Asos £36

2. The Suede Skirt

Add a touch of 70's to your look with a retro, suede skirt: versatile and stylish. Pair with some sandals and you're good to go.

Miss Selfridge £65

Mango £44.99

3. The Heeled Sandal

Need a shoe to go with your skirt or dress? Look no further. Zara's SS sandals are on point this year. Seriously, they're killing it. Here's just a few to tickle your fancy but head over to Zara.com to see more!

Zara £39.99

Zara £49.99

Zara £29.99

4. The Denim Dungaree

If you can pull these off, not only am I 100% jealous of you, but these statement pieces are perfect for spring. If it's warm, wear with a bandeau and a cute pair of flats, or if it's a bit nippy - layer it up with a t-shirt underneath. The possibilities are endless with a dungaree.

Urban Outfitters £45

Asos £45

5. The Fringe

Funky, fresh and fabulous - bring edge to any look with a fringe or tassels. Give an added 70's vibe and look amazing - perfect for festivals. How gorgeous does Tamara from TheGlamandGlitter look in her fringe skirt from Supertrash.com ?! 

Skirt: Supertrash £90

H&M £7.99 (BARGAIN)

They're my Spring key pieces, what are yours? Let me know in the comments!

Mini Beauty Haul

Hey guys! Recently my makeup supply has been running low so of course, that means time for a top up, so I took myself to the shops for a few beauty bits and bobs. It's not much as I didn't need loads, but I picked up some of the essentials to keep me going.

The first thing I picked up was the Sleek Precious Metals Highlighting Palette from Superdrug. I haven't actually tried this yet but I've saw a lot of Youtuber's use Sleek so I thought I'd give it a bash. I'm running super low on highlighter at the minute and I thought it'd be nice to get highlighter creams rather than liquid for a change.

Whilst in Superdrug, I spotted this super pretty MUA nail varnish in the shade 'Apricot Candy'. The colour just reminded me of spring/summer so I had to have it. It was only £1 as well so why not?!

Who can resist a 3 for 2 offer on Rimmel products? Certainly not me. I've used the powder for years so I picked another one in the colour 002 Pink Blossom. Usually I get translucent but I had to get the next shade up because I broke the last translucent one in the shop (oops)! Yep, never try carry too much! I'm also a huge lover of their mascara's so I got the new Scandal Eyes Xtreme because they always make your lashes so long and thick. Since it was 3 for 2, I had to choose something else so I got the Match Perfection concealer in shade 010 ivory. I've tried the Match Perfection foundation before and loved it so I thought I'd give this a bash instead of my usual Collection concealer.

Finally, I bought the Mac Pro Longwear Foundation in the shade NC15. I've used the Mac Studio Fix foundation since Christmas time but it ran out and a lot of my friends use the Pro Longwear foundation so I just went for it. I really love the coverage of this foundation and it definitely stays on for ages. Mac is my number one for foundation right now.

So that's everything for now. Do you use any of these products? Let me know in the comments below.
