Spring OOTD

  

shoes- Adidas 

socks- Caldezonia 

Parker- M&S (but ages ago, sorry)

Dress- h&m

Necklace- Accesorize 

Hiii again. I love this outfit and I have been wearing these items paired together a lot recently. I really like the look of the bun/ top knot with a patterned flowy dress and white chunky shoes. I would never normally pick this type of dress off the shelf, but I decided to be brave and try it on and I think it really suited me! I love the small details; three-quarter sleeves and fastening at the back with a single button. They all contrast quite nicely- especially when adding the khaki, faux fur hooded coat (for when the sun goes in, which seems to be happening a lot). The long silver chain with a beaded heart ties the whole look together.

I hope you enjoyed reading this. Until the next time!

A few recent purchases

Black high waisted jeans- Topshop

I bought some black jeans from Topshop, and they are AMAZING. The material is such good quality- really soft but stretchy, and they are so well made and comfortable to wear. I think the rip in the knee adds a sense of grunginess. Ergh, there is literally nothing bad to say about them.

'The falsies' mascara- Maybelline

I didn't actually buy this that recently but I just wanted to mention it and say how much I love it! It's not at all clumpy and gives an even amount of coverage over the eye lashes (that sounded weird).

Necklace- Accesorize

These necklaces join at the end by the clasp (two necklaces in one basically), and I absolutely adore it. I love how one is longer and the charms are so petite and subtle. I think the reason I love it so much is that I don't really wear huge amounts of jewellery, as I wear small bracelets and necklaces, but I like things that have a touch of colour, so this is perfect!

Glow bunny- Urban Outfitters

This really sweet and I think it would be a lovely thing to add to a bedroom, especially as it glows (maybe instead of a candle?).

 Sunglasses- Topshop 

Aaah... When I saw these on Zoella I loved them straight away. I think the pretty pale pink colour and the cat eye edges could really add to a supposedly bland outfit.

Top- Brandy Melville

The monochrome colours of the shirt go really well together and (I'm not just saying this) the material is sooo unbelievably soft. I reckon this top, that necklace and those jeans that I mentioned earlier would go really well together.

Wall/ laptop stickers- Brandy Melville

Finally these stickers. I think these would add a teenager feel to any room. I have put them on the raised frame of my bed to make a plain white surface look a bit more interesting.

I hope you enjoyed reading this. Until the next time!

Jar of happiness

Hiii guys. I had this idea a couple of weeks ago and thought I should post about it! Basically (as you can see from the title of this blog post) it's a jar of little slips of paper of things that make me happy. I thought it was a really cute idea for whenever I was feeling upset or a bit down, I could just take out one (for example, have a bath or listen to some music) to make me feel better.

I hope you enjoyed reading this. Until the next time!

A day trip to Brighton

Hii. Yesterday my family and I went down to Brighton for the day, just because we love the little lanes, and the pier (and you have a chance of meeting Zoella, Alfie and to be honest most youtubers). Anyway... I decided to take pictures of these things (not including the youtubers... damn it) and write a post about my day out to Brighton.

I'm not going to go into to too much detail about what I was wearing because this is not an outfit post but I went for the 'comfy to walk around in but warm' look.

 We first walked around the lanes and went into a few cute looking shops.

 (btw I dont know these people but I bet they are glad to be included in my blog post! ahah...)

 I just took a couple of artsy pictures, well mabye not a couple... quite a few, but I got a few odd glances from the shop keepers and just local people wandering around...

 There were so many cute shops with cool stuff in them!

I then dropped into the Bluebird Tea Company and I bought a strawberry lemonade iced tea. It sounds over the top but trust me it was delicious.

 I also found this awesome graffiti as I wandered down a lane.

We didn't actually go into ChoccyWoccyDooDah but the cakes in the window were amazing and from watching Zoe's vlogs apparently the hot chocolate is good too!

 Then we walked through this park next to Brighton pavilion (probably pavilion park...) and the sun came out! It was suddenly really hot which is strange for Feburary.

We then went to 'The Chilli Pickle' for lunch, a delicious Indian restaurant quite close to the pier.

I got a lime cooler and a Masala Dosa, they were both amazing.

Before I went on any rides I popped into Lush (and Paperchase) and bought a couple of things.

Then we started walking to the pier and went into a little arcade, which ended up telling me my fortune by the date of my birthday?! (not sure it will be entirely true...)

After walking on the beach for a bit in the direction of the pier we finally came to the pier and the view was absolutely beautiful!

Then we went on a couple of rides, like log ride (getting absolutely soaked), bumper cars, and played some games, like tin can alley. I also walked past a Fortune Teller but after my foretold 'future' from the arcade I think I'd had enough for one day.

 We ended the day with an Italian vanilla ice cream cone and walked back to the station.

This is the station...

I really enjoyed my trip and I recommend anyone who lives in the UK should go and visit!

I hope you enjoyed reading this. Until the next time!
