In the eyes of mine...

Things that have caught my eye!

1. ♥ Riverisland Cream Tuck Stitch Belted Cardigan ♥ £38.00 ♥
I have been eyeing this tuck stitch cardigan for a while now as i think it would be great for the Autumn/Winter season, to keep warm and cosy and still look great. Not sure whether i would buy a different colour though, as my wardrobe consists of light coloured clothing. Not that, that is a bad thing.
2. ♥ Newlook Floral Palazzo Trouser ♥ £17.99 ♥
These palazzo trousers i have been waiting to come in to the teen section as i am quite short and don't fit in to the adults as there tooo long. :( So when i saw these i was like i need them!! 
3. ♥ Newlook Leather Fringed Mocassin ♥ £15.00 ♥
I tried these on in Newlook the other day but they didn't have my size sadly. So when i see them in my size i will definitely buy them. 
4. ♥ Riverisland Black Smart Belted Playsuit ♥ £40.00 ♥
I love this playsuit, i think it would be perfect to dress up for a meal out with a pair of classic black heels or just to wear casually in the day with brogues.  
5. ♥ Riverisland Light Beige Jersey Belted Maxi Skirt ♥ £25.00 ♥
Maybe for a bright day in autumn paired with a plain black shoestring vest to keep it nice and simple. 

Anything that's caught your eye recently?
Thanks for reading

Sunday Snippet

Wow these 6 weeks of  our summer holiday are going oh so quickly. It seems like just yesterday we were at school. *sigh*. Oh well i don't want to get to out of routine for school. <----Bit late for that one :/  Considering im not up to about 9-10 each day. I thought each week i would start to tell you a little bit about my week and maybe a picture or two. Don't expect anything to fancy though, five days out of seven i'm at school. Ill try to make it interesting though.

Aviator Sunnies ♥

River island £12.99

I'm glad to have finally got my sunglasses back. In the middle of june when i went on my holiday to turkey, i had recently bought these lush pair of sunglasses. I love them so much because they are a pair that actually suit my face shape :) Anyway on holiday me and my dad noticed a crack in the middle of the glass although i couldnt recall breaking them, and the rim of them hadn't bent. A few days later the crack was the length of the glass. All we could put it down was the sun and them being faulty. So when we arrived back of our holiday we took them back and just asked if we could refund them. Happily enough the did :) They had just said that they were faulty. So now i have these beauties back :) Not that its sunny at the moment though :L Sorry that its so shorts.

I apoligise for saying i am going to do more posts and never do. I could try and make excuses for this but i just havent. I now have a diary of when im going to do certain things so fingers crossed i will stick to it.

I hope next week brightens up a bit.
Have a good week :)

Any sunnies that your totally in love with? ♥

The falsies...Blackest drama

Hello,
So recently i purchased a new mascara from maybelline called the falsies volum express. From the mascaras Ive used previously from maybelline i have really liked them. I thought i would try this one out as i like full on lashes.This is only my first impressions on this product.

One thing this mascara does very well is holding up the curl all day long. Which i love as this means i also don't have to curl them. With an 8.2 ml of product i think that it is good value for money.


When i first opened the product and looked at the brush i was slightly puzzled at which side i should use. When i saw the diagram on the back of the packet that made it make much more sense. It also looked like there was way to much liquid on the brush, but I'm sure once i use more of it, it may become better. I will inform you on that at a later date. As this is only my first impressions.

After two coat of mascara.

As you can see one eye looks better than the other. I'm not sure why that is but its probably just how i have applied it. At the minute i still think it needs a bit more wearing in because its a bit liquidy. But apart from that i love it. And would definitely recommend it. :)

Have an excellent week :)

A beautiful summers day...

A beautiful summers day calls for me to get a summer dress out :)

Hello,
Hasn't this past week been warm? Well where i live it is.
I wasn't really a fan of this dress when i picked up. I planned only to wear it on my holiday to turkey which i went on. But typically i didn't because it didn't fit right over my bikini. As for the sleeveless jacket, i adore it. Although cause its sleeveless i only wear it on hot days because i haven't got a long sleeve tops. That will be next on my list. Again with these beige brogues i only ever were them or my navy blue espadrilles (which are uber duper comfy).


Dress Primark
Sleeveless jacket Newlook
Beige brogues Riverisland 



Thank you for every one who help me with the mac eye shadow i know put it on over a nude and primer :)
This week i plan on writing a lot more posts than last week, sorry bout that. 

Hope this week stays lovely in the areas that you live. 
Have a good week :)

Wellies

Hello,
I recently went to my friends house which is at a farm and i had to decide on an outfit to wear with my wellies (glossy pink) of course. Personally i am in love with wellies and love the whole festival look with floaty dresses, skirts and shorts. Sadly i have not actually been to a festival though but would love to go to one with my friends. I ended up going with a pair of high waisted distressed denim shorts, black tights, a red vest top, a cream short sleeved chiffon shirt with a peter pan collar.


So thats the look i hope you like it:)

I bought a mac eye-shadow a while ago from the airport in Gatwick. The colour i got was woodwinked a kind of bronzey brown colour which looked beautiful when i swatched it. I wore it on holiday and i loved it. I get back to the uk and put it on to find out that it transferred onto my eyelid a coppery orange colour. Is this because my eyelid are more pale now from my tan wearing off. Or is that just the shade its meant to be. I still think its a lovely colour just now what i expected.
I would have swatched it for you however when i went to do that, my camera would not focus at all so i could only get the pot and even the colours doggy on that. Typical, o well. At least i know its very pigmented as i managed to get it all over my camera. Think i need to give that a good old clean now :L. 
Anyway im off now until tomorrow. I hope you liked my post and enjoying the hot weather outside. :)
What have you all been up to?

1. OOTD Neutral

Hello Everybody, 
So i haven't posted in very long, well that's what it feels like but thank goodness that school has officially ended for the summer holiday now and i'm free to do what i want :D Now i have the excitement of having a lazy morning (if i don't go for a run) and buying all the new school essentials that i adore repurchasing year after year. I will probably do a few posts on that nearer to the middle of august, when I've had a time to SHOP! Okay so this is something that i wore to an evening of the wedding. The dress code was basically anything, people even turned up in jeans which i thought to be honest was a bit disrespectful.  


I wore: Newlook Tie Play-suit £27.99
Newlook Cream Cardigan £8 (Sale)
River island Beige Brogues £27.99
George Feather Earrings £5
Seed Pearl Bracelet Portugal 

So that was all i was wearing and i love this look mainly because of the play-suit colours and the style of it. I think its perfect, you can dress it up or down depending on the shoes and accessories that you wear.
That is all from me today and i hope you like this look :) You will hear from me tomorrow with another post hopefully :) I hope your weeks starts well and lets hope it stays hot outside this week. 
Have a good week :)
