Where I Buy My Clothes

Where I Buy My Clothes

It's been over three weeks and I'm really sorry for the delay but there were so many unexpected events I went to as well as going away again.  Anyway, it's end of the Summer Holidays for me now so school is starting really soon so I'll be busy with all the GCSE Preparation!  Lots of you have asked for fashion/clothing posts so here it is! xx

I tend to buy all clothing from high street shops apart from the occasional a bit more expensive clothing every now and again.  I buy statement clothing so that they are more versatile and easy to dress up and down.  I buy my jeans from Next as they always have a range of colors to choose from and aren't too pricey.  They last a long time too!

My mum recently bought me a leather biker jacket from H&M which I can't wait to wear for Autumn.  It's my first leather biker jacket so I'm not too experienced on that side :)

I buy any tank tops from Primark, mainly as they are cheap but quality is good.  I buy three tank tops in three different colors: white, grey and black so I can choose one whenever suitable.  I then buy any crop tops from New Look as they are so nice and have lots of new designs.

I shop in River Island, New Look and Hollister for the odd mixed up clothing item nearly every month so I can change my look.  I like to buy my Winter jackets from SuperDry as they last so long and are really cosy.  

These are all my go-to shops when I'm off shopping... hope you found it useful and maybe worth going to these shops to look around.

My New Favourite Makeup Must-Haves

My New Favorite Makeup Must-Haves 

I have recently updated my makeup bag and decided to write a post about it because there are so many products I also have in my makeup bag.  Some of them are drugstore products so are a little cheaper then others.  Hope you like this :)

NARS Blusher in Orgasm 

This is NARS latest shade in their blusher selection and even though it looks quite pink it gives a lovely healthy glow to the cheeks.  I really like the colour and it's quite a soft powdery kind - I prefer powder to the liquid kinds as it's easier to apply.  

Maybelline New York Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara

This really shapes my brows which is really good because my brows can look quite sparse so this helps to fill them in the most natural way.  It fills in small gaps and there's never clumps in my brows which is a bonus.

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

This gives a feminine light lash look which looks really pretty.  It doesn't smudge on my lids either so it makes the whole process quicker and easier.  But the main reason why it's a "must have" is because I don't have to curl my lashes before using this because it already has a formula to push-up my lashes.  

Eyeko Sport Waterproof Mascara

I can trust Eyeko as a company on their products because they are so good.  This waterproof mascara lasts really well so when doing sports it's the perfect beauty top-up to use.

Urban Decay Smoky Palette

Even though I don't own this product I tried it in a shop and my friend also has this and it works really well and has a range of 12 colours to create the best Smoky Eye.  It also comes with a two-sided brush which is extra useful.

Real Techniques Makeup Brushes

I love this brand when it comes to their brushes because they are so soft so don't irritate my skin and also look really nice.  I love the Bold Metals ones even though I don't own any... yet!

Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray

I use this dry hair spray every time I'm creating that beachy waves look.  It works really well and I use it all the time now - especially the fact it's Summer.

So these are the products that are a must-have and worth investing because of the quality of these gems.  Hope these help a bit and love to hear your feedback... maybe any tips?

I'll write again next weekend as I'm back again for my routine of blogging xx

My 9 Day Holiday in Italy

My 9 Day Holiday in Italy

It feels such a long time since I've posted anything which feels weird in a way but also a bit of a nice break.  I can't wait to tell you about my holiday... hope you enjoy this post xx

I stayed in Italy for 8 nights going around various places around Italy.  On the first 3 nights me and my family stayed in a hotel in the centre of Verona.  I love the busy vibes there and with so many high-end shops - it truly feels amazing.  Some of the shops there were Sephora, Gucci and a MAC Studio!  There was also a really yummy Italian Gelato shop which had so many different flavors from Tiramisu to Passion Fruit.  We visited the Romeo and Juliet balcony which was cool.  The hotel we stayed in was called Grand Relais Empire and was really clean and the staff were friendly.  I would recommend d staying there if visiting Verona.

We went to Caffe Monte Baldo for lunch in Verona and I think it's really nice inside but my favorite place to eat in Verona was La bottega della Gina even though it was really small inside the food tasted really nice and had a selection of pasta dishes.  

I bought some beauty products from KIKO Studio - nail polish, Super Gloss, eyeliner and hand fluid as small memories of Italy.  I bought my close friends some presents from KIKO as well as in Venice.

We visited Venice for a day but that day was extremely hot, maybe about 36 degrees?! It was also really busy even though it looked really pretty along the river.  

After the 3 nights we headed to a small B&B called Corte delle Muse near Lake Garda.  The lady running it was so friendly and welcoming I wonder about going back sometime!  Food for breakfast is lovely and the village is really pretty.

We ate in a small family-run restaurant which serves a wide range of Italian food.  On the next day we visited another small village called Salo right next to Lake Garda.  It has so many shops and cafes :)

The final hotel we stayed in was in the countryside part of Lake Garda and was a luxe Country House called Casino de Caccia.  It is amazing and rated really high.  There was a swimming pool, Jacuzzi and lots of parasols and sunbeds.  The rooms are really pretty and grand and really clean.  Honestly worth going there but is expensive...

We had dinner at the best restaurant we've had in the whole of our Italian holiday called Bella Vento and the food is just amazing.  My favorite dish was the pasta dish with small chopped mushrooms.  Normally I wouldn't touch mushrooms but this was different.  

The next few days we stayed chilling in the pool and also went to Gardaland which is a really cool them park.  

It was a truly amazing holiday and can't wait for next year's holiday!
Note:  These aren't my photos.

Love to know your holidays too xx

NEW: Working With High End Brands!

NEW:  Working With High End Brands!

I am so excited to tell you that I'll soon be working with some of the top high end brands which I cannot wait!  I know that one of the brands will be Dior and absolutely love this brand whether it's their makeup products or fragrances.  I'm also hoping to work with other brands but still not yet decided so any opinions would be amazing!

I will only start working with them after 10th of August after my holiday in Italy so I'll be trying to arrange everything as soon as possible.

The way I'm hoping it will work is myself advertising the very newest products and styles of Dior before a lot of bloggers and YouTubers which is a privilege. 

I've contacted them already and they said I'll just need to fill in an application and once that's confirmed they will be able to create a portfolio with their high resolution photos.  It sounds really cool and they have a lot of backstage events which I'll hopefully go to when I'm a bit older which they'll notify me with.  

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts about it and any brands you think I should work with too x

I'll post again hopefully this Friday but can't guarantee.

My New Favourite Summer Scents

My New Favorite Summer Scents

I'm really sorry for such a late post but I was busy :)

Anyway, I managed to write a post about my favorite Summer scents from having a bit of test and tryout with so many different fragrances over the past weeks.  I love the different kinds  of fragrances and have a few at home.  There are so many brands out there that I have not yet tried but I tend to go from Mugler, Jimmy Choo to Dior.  

I know my mum has a Dior and Chanel No.5 perfume so I sometime spritz some on before I go to a party out!

Angel Muse £45 by Mugler

This is my absolute favorite fragrance from this Spring to this Summer.  It smells amazing and I would really think it's worth investing in one of these.  I'm not too sure why I'm crazy about it but there's something that I just love about it.

L'Eau D'Issey £30 by Issey Miyake

If I'm honest, when I first sprayed some on it wasn't a fragrance I'd fallen in love with straightaway.  But the more I used it the more I started to like it.  It has lovely notes of flower blossoms and smells of almost light honey.

Black Opium £65 by YSL

Another of my fragrances I adore.  It has a really powerful strong scent which I really like.  I think Yves Saint Laurent really do some amazing fragrances.  I have considered buying a full bottle instead of just a small sample.

Live Irresistible £40 by Givenchy

With notes of rose pink flowers and an occasional scent of fruits, I think this perfume is perfect for the Spring season day and night.  I also like wearing it for the Summer x

Be Delicious £20 by DKNY

Love the strong scent of freshness even though it doesn't really smell like anything near apples as advertised.  It's perfect for daytime - especially in the early morning!  The price is much cheaper so would be a good option to go to :)

I'de love to know your thoughts and the scents you love!

My Summer Plan

My Summer Plan 

*I'm sorry if I don't keep up to date with my posts in the Summer Holidays as I do have lots of unexpected events but I promise to still have posts being posted as much as possible.  I won't be posting from 30th July to 10th August as I'll be away in Italy*

Every Summer Holiday me and my family go on holiday as well as visiting friends from London and also Kent.  I love the Summery feeling and cannot wait for this Summer as we're visiting my relatives and having a huge picnic in the big London Park with around 15 of us sat together.  

My friends are coming round so hopefully we can all go to the Cinema and also have a sleepover!

In the later days of August I'll be going to either Dorset, Devon or Bristol with my family.

I know my family are going to Italy at the beginning of August which is my main reason why I decided to post about this on my blog :)

Hope you enjoy it!

I'll be visiting three places in Italy for 8 days.  The first place I'll be staying is Verona which I cannot wait.  I'm hoping to visit the famous balcony of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.  I think the countryside would look really pretty and I know my parents want to do a wine tasting tour!!  

I'm so excited and hopefully walking in the center of Verona will be like I imagined.

On a few of the days my family and I will be doing day trips from Verona to Lake Garda to walk around the famous Italian Lake and eating out would be so cool.  In the evenings we've planned to go to Gardaland which is a famous Italian theme park open from 6pm to 11pm!

After that we'll have a day trip to Venice instead of staying there as it'll probably be really busy.  There are so many shops in this city so that's probably the place where I'll buy my souvenirs for myself and my 4 closest friends.

The classic Italian ice creams and gelatos is something I'd love to try.  I know both of my parents said it was amazing and had so many different flavors.  Overall, we'll be staying in 3 different hotels and I know the last one is posh and expensive... xx

I'd love to know what you're up to for this Summer!

Hopefully I'll have another post or two out for this weekend.

5 Steps to Getting The Perfect Selfie

5 Steps to Getting The Perfect Selfie

Some people just seem to be naturally more photogenic than others but there are tips to look amazing.  I used to struggle a lot with this but I've gradually overcome this and it's now much easier.  

Glitter and Shimmer

I always avoid and glitter or shimmery products on my face because they don't look great in photos.  Also think about a low SPF Foundation so you don't look ghostly pale in a photo.

Beautiful Shine

I think shiny, glossy hair that reflects in light can look really pretty.  I like to use a glossing hair product which is easily sold in many drugstores and provided by many brands.  Ones from The Body Shop are really good too.

The Lighting

When taking a photo with my friends, I always look for the best lighting possible.  Using natural light is the best and only very little times do I actually use filters.

Change Your Angles

Practice taking pictures from different angles, then look at the best one and remember to use that angle in future photos.  I found my perfect one was looking slightly to the right.

Up The Eyes

By adding eye makeup it can look really nice in photos.  Avoid any eye shadows as such but add black voluminous Mascara for that definition.  Curling your lashes is also a good thing to do.  Then add black eyeliner to the corners for a kitten flick.  It honestly makes a difference and is worth trying out.

Hope my top tips help as it's helped me x
