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!

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?

What's on my playlist?

Hey all!

Listening to music is one of my favourite things to do, I am constantly with my headphones in jamming away to my favourite songs and drifting off into a world of my own. I love being nosey and seeing what other people listen to so I thought I'd share with you what I've been listening to.

I should add that my taste in music is actually quite random! I'm very into my country music and a lot of pop and alternative. I honestly just tend to listen to music that makes me happy, I couldn't care less if it was popular or not. There's a lot of songs that are way out dated now but I still listen to them because they bring back good memories and there's a lot of songs that I used to listen to when I was about 10 that I still listen to now because they just simply make me happy.

Delicious fruity frozen treats!

Chocolate coated strawberries & Chocolate coated banana with a little peanut butter

To me there's nothing better than having frozen fruit on a hot summers day, of course Ice cream is great! But at least with these it's a little healthier. They're so simple and quick to make. 

You can use any fruits you like but I went with strawberries and banana's. It's strange because I don't like strawberries but I love them frozen and espcially covered in chocolate! 

I used two types of chocolate. For the strawberries I used Galaxy and for the banana's I used cooking chocolate. 

Chop up your banana's and place them on a sheet of greese proof paper. I didn't put peanut butter in all of mine because some people in my family don't like peanut butter, very weird! (not that I'm calling you weird if you don't like peanut butter... ) But if you do choose to use peanut butter just spread as much as you want on top of the banana. Melt your chocolate and literally just either dip your fruit in the heavinly chocolate bowl or use a spoon to pour the chocolate on top of the fruit. 

Then leave them to freeze over night, and while your sleeping you'll be dreaming of those tasty treats you'll be having the next day! 

A while back I came across Ingrid Nelson's video where she made those Banana treats and have been loving them ever since!

Hope you enjoy them! xxx

My bag essentials

There's always certain things that people keep in their bags and so I thought I would share with you what I keep in mine. Usually I use different bags depending on what I'm doing, a lot of the time I use my tiny shoulder bag that doesn't keep many things in so often I'll keep my 'must haves' limited like I'll keep my phone, my purse and that's pretty much it. But If I use one of my bigger bags that's when I can obviously keep a few more other essentials in there.

I love to keep some sort of perfume or spray especially in the summer when it gets hot and sticky and no body wants to be smelling of sweat!

I then sometimes like to keep a snack of some sort because you never know when you could get hungry and it's always a good idea to have a little something you could munch on in your bag. Cereal bars are always handy because they're not too filling and they're not hugly unhealthy.

I always like to keep a few lip products with me I can often get quite dry lips so it's always nice for me to carry around something I can quickly and easily apply like those baby lip balms which I just love!

I'm pretty boring when it comes to my hair and I most of the time have it up in a bun or a pony tail because for me that is the quickest way of doing it. So I keep a few hair ties and hair grips with me in case I need to re do my hair.

Ipod/headphones
I don't know about you but I find it rather boring when I'm walking on my own so it's a perfect time to listen to my favourite songs and makes journey's a bit more interesting.

I usually like to keep some wipes in my bags too (Even though they aren't included in the picture) but It's always so handy to have some on you!

And that's pretty much my bag essentials! What do you like to keep with you?
