Long time....x

So I haven't written a blog post in ages because I've been writing 25,000 words for uni, but I've finished uni forever now so no more distractions! 

On the shopping front, I've had quite a few purchases recently so I'll share a few of my favs below. 

This kimono is so beautiful, it's one of my fav summer pieces right now. It's versitile and the colours are so vibrant. It's from Quiz and it's the first item I've ever purchased from there. The quality is really impressive and the service I received in the shop was superb! Teamed this with a black bandeau, white ripped jeans and my new black sandals from Primark (pictured below) 

These sandals from Primark are a summer must have, and with a price tag of £8 their not exactly going to break the bank. Their really comfy unlike some sandals and don't need any breaking in. Wanting these in white but they don't have them in my local store! Definitely am item to add to the shopping list. 

Next...

This tropical print jumpsuit is amazing, I love it so so much I cannot explain. It can be dressed up for an evening out or kept casual as I have done here with sandals and a plain kimono. It's from Missguided and costs £24.99 but they have 10% student discount all year round. It's quite thin on the legs which I think is good as it's cool to wear and doesn't make you hot. The top part is quite big on me so I opted for a 10 rather than a 12 (my usual size). Really lovely jumpsuit and my first ever one in my wardrobe! 

Next is this eye catching kimono from Matalan. It's from the holiday section and costs £12, and it's worth the £12. It's this season and perfect for summer. I'm not going on holiday this year, like the past 13years however it is a really nice item for the English summer, teamed with ripped jeans or shorts with a cute top. I wore this to xscape at Castleford which is so fun by the way! It's really lovely quality, much better than Primark's quality and they also do 10% student discount if you have a matalan card... if you don't have a card it takes 1min in store to register for one. 

Finally.... 

These super cute dungarees are from Primark and only cost £9! I was so excited when I found these, I was in shock because the print is so pretty and dungarees are just all round cute! Wore this outfit for work and I got several compliments about the dungarees. They are really good quality and quite versitile. Wanting the weather to get warmer so I can wear these more! 

They are my recent purchases, not too many as I had a car accident so had to pay out loads :( anyway, I'm wanting to start doing outdoors pictures but I don't have anyone to photograph. Any ideas on this?

*Outfit post*

Here is my second outfit post. As well as putting together a lovely outfit, this is actually a want list for myself and with my birthday coming up, we'll see what happens over the next few weeks *excited*

Joni jeans / Lace top / Blazer / Boots / Bag / Necklace / Bracelet

Statement jewellery is still a must have this season and it looks as if statement boots are beginning to make an appearance in the fashion industry. I am loving these black patent cut out boots from River Island costing £45! They can be dressed with jeans, leggings, disco pants, dresses, shorts and skirts so they are very diverse. 

Topshop Joni jeans have an amazing fit and this acid wash pair make this outfit more unique. The mid blue colour Joni jeans are very popular right now, however this pair are absolutely beautiful. Now to pray that I get enough money for some Joni jeans and these boots for my birthday *fingers crossed*. 

Hope your all having a lovely weekend

H&M bargains!

So after starting my job at H&M, I now get 25% discount which has been too tempting! 
I'm always on the lookout for great make-up and smelly things so here are my H&M bargain finds from this week. 

The body splash is absolutely beautiful. The smell is gorgeous and lasts a long time. I tend not to buy body sprays such as Impulse because with using them several times a day, they run out too quickly however a few sprays of this and your sorted for a while. The smell is sweet but reminds me of flowers and a candle shop. For £3.99, this spray is a handbag must have!

I found this bracelet in H&M sale for £2! As soon as I saw it, I fell in love and purchased it, using my discount again *oops*. I find it's very difficult to put on yourself, I need someone to put it on and take it off as the latch is very tight however when it's on, it looks lush!! It'll brighten up any outfit and would definitely recommend if your going on holiday late this summer. 

The smoky eyes eye-shadow is so smooth when you apply it. I LOVE the colours, especially the golden brown. This palette is perfect for creating the smoky eyes look and for £3.99, this is another one of my bargains. The only down side to this is how you don't get an applicator however I have a trusty eye-shadow brush of my own. I wore this eye-shadow on Wednesday when it was really hot and it lasted all day. The shadow stayed in place and stayed really vibrant in colour. 10/10!

Lots of love
