Holiday Essentials!

I guess you could say Summer is pretty much over, with schools and colleges going back the Autumn term begins and the trees changing their colours. But for me? I'm still holding on to two more weeks of sunshine and beach days In Italy where I'll be flying to tomorrow *screeches with excitement* So I figured it would be perfect to show you the things I'll be taking away with me.

Everything here is going in my hand luggage can just about fit it all in one bag! I've got my two toiletry bags, one is for my basic beauty products and then the bigger one is just for the extra toiletry things you usually bring with you when you go away. I then prefer carrying a small bag around with me especially when I'm on long days out and exploring places I'd rather not carry around a huge bag on my shoulders. This cute black and studded bag is perfect for carrying the main every day essentials.
I'm currently reading 'Fangirl' although I've started reading it but have stopped myself so I can save the rest for while I'm away haha! I'm sure I'll find a lot of time to relax and do a bit of colouring in my new colouring book, takes me back to my younger days! I'm really excited to take away my DSLR with me it'll be fun to play around in a new change of scenery! I also bought myself a disposable camera as you may have read in my last post (also takes me back to my childhood)
Then of course gotta take the Ipod, phone and sunnies!

Toiletry Bag 

S&G hand gel (Smells amazing!) 

Travel sized tangle teaser 

Brilliant Brunette Shampoo 

Travel Sized Dry Shampoo 

Protect & Shine hair spray 

Dove Deodorant Pomegranate

Floss 

Threw the eye shadow in there because it's a little too big for the smaller bag! 

Nail Polish remover 

Baby Lips 

Lasting Perfection Collection concealer 

Revlon lip stick 

Lip balm (apple package) 

Instead of foundation I decided to take some BB cream instead because it's much lighter on your skin. 

Hope your all having a good week! There may not be any blog posts for two weeks or so because I'd like to stay away from the internet as much as I can (watch that fail) haha but I just wanted to focus on the holiday and try and take myself away from everything for a little while and just have a nice long break. May do a few update posts while I'm there, we'll see! 

But until next time, I'll be back soon!

Patterned tops & Sparkly shoes!

Tops - Zara 

Jeans - Primark 

Shoes - New Look 

I used to shop in Zara a lot of the time but then suddenly it became something that I was never really that fussed with any more. The other day I popped in there and rummaged around for a while until in their sale section I came across these pattered Tshirts. They look very similar but each has something different and unique about them. I absolutely loved the cute patterns and the colours. 

Again with New Look it was a shop I used to go into quite a bit but there was something about it I didn't really like any more. To be honest I think it's always a bit of 'hit or miss' with me. But I do know that they can do some really great shoes in there. I have been looking for some new shoes for so long, and something like this was exactly what I had in mind. I wanted something different to what I usually go for but I wanted comfiness too and this pair is definitely both! 

These have turned out to be my favourite pair of shoes, I just love them! They are sparkly, they just don't look it so much in the pictures. At first I wondered if sparkly was maybe a bit tacky? But I love sparkles because the pink shade wasn't so 'in your face' and tasteful I thought these were just more casual and pretty. 

In the sun they sort turn into a metallic pink and extra sparkly! Me personally I love them! Perfect for my holiday coming up!

OOTD - Comfy and casual

Shirt - H&M

Bag - Forever 21

Watch - Primark

Skinny Jeans - Primark

It's mostly a chill day at home today apart from popping out to the shops. But I thought I would sneak in an OOTD post mainly because I am very proud of my new bag I bought from Forever 21 and I haven't been able to blog about it as of yet!

I absolutely love those cute little bags that just about fit the essentials you need in, me personally although I do have big bags I don't usually like carrying them around in places that I don't really need a big bag for. I like to have something light on my shoulder. Forever 21 is always a hit and miss with me, I find that I have to really look in the shop to find something that catches my eye. I came across this bag in the accessories section and I believe it was about £17 or so? I just think it's super cute and I think it goes perfectly with a casual outfit but it also smartens up an outfit that little bit more.

This shirt always reminds me of Christmas and the autumn/winter time because of the colours. But It's actually one of the most comfiest tops I've got, I mean pretty much all of my tops are comfy because that's what I tend to go for. But I just love the material and how soft this shirt is. But it's also not too hot to wear when the sun is out. 

For my trousers I'm just wearing typical skinny jeans which I bought from Primark quite a long while ago actually and they have lasted really well! 

And then you may recognise this watch which I talked about in a previous post of mine I'm still amazed at how cheap it was,  but that's Primark for you eh? I love Silver jewellery but I'm a gold accessory lover!

Hope you all had a good weekend! Until next time...

Things that I have been loving

Stripy Top - H&M

I do love me some black and white stripy tops especially stripy ones! It always makes me feel a bit 'French' because to me it's like a classic French style. I also think the gold buttons on the side add a really cute touch to it and also makes it look a bit smarter. But I think with this top it's something that you can either wear with a casual look or you can definitely smarten it up! 

Shorts - Forever 21 

I was debating whether to buy these shorts or not but I didn't want them to be left in the shop with no new home to go to so I decided they should belong to me, ha. I probably wouldn't wear the top and the shorts together maybe a bit too much? but the shorts would look great with a plane/simple top. The material is a little bit more thicker than usual so this is definitely something you can wear in the winter as well as something for the summer. 

Sunglasses - Primark

£2 for sunglasses? sounds good to me! Me personally, I often have trouble finding sun glasses that actually look good on me, these don't look much better than any others I find but they're smaller which is what appealed to me I actually like the design too! I have an annoyingly small face and usually most sunglasses look too big on me and I end up looking like a fly. But I have to say I do love these! 

Purse - Primark 

I wanted to get a bigger purse because all my small ones never fit all my lose change so I thought a bigger purse would be easier, I love the colour too! 

Tangle Teaser -

Long story short, I'm just glad these were invented! 

Collection concealer & Collection Eyeliner

Both of these products have been a long term love of mine, have used these over and over again.

Apple Lip balms - Primark

I have never tried any of Primark's beauty/make up products before so as I went past that section the other week I thought I would have a little nose around and noticed these super cute lip balms. I've used them every day since I purchased them. I haven't actually used the 'apple' flavour yet but I can imagine it smelling so good, this cherry flavoured one defintely smells amazing. My lips have been feeling so soft lately because of these.

Watch - Primark 

I swear this post isn't sponsored by Primark, I just went a bit mad in there not so long ago. I've been looking for a gold watch for quite some time, and I just love the design. £2.50 for a watch, not bad eh?

Lastly I've been loving this creamy eye shadow I purchased a while ago, It's a perfect colour for this time of year! 

I think I better stop there because I can see this post getting long. Hope you've all had a good week, I'm sadly working over the weekend. What things have you been loving lately?

Polaroid Picture Fun.

To me there's something really special about Polaroid pictures and Polaroid camera's. I find them so unique and fun to have. I recently purchased some Polaroid style photo's from Polagram which is an app you can download on your phone and get some photo's delievered to your door. I do actually own a proper Polaroid but I usually use that for special occasions and there's photo's I had taken from a normal Camera but thought they would look cute in a polaroid style.

Another thing which I love about Polaroids is the fact that you can write on them, I think it adds something extra to the photo's.
I decided to stick them up above my bed because my walls looked a little bare there. I love how it's turned out and will probably end up continuing to add more photo's as I go.
