It's been so long 'Hello October'



It's the middle of October and I realised I hadn't blogged since Summer! The last few months have been pretty crazy and I started working full time recently which is making me feel like I have no social life or me time at all. I'm hoping I will be able to adjust soon and be able to do the things I love again out of work like going to the gym, spending time with my boyfriend, shopping and seeing my family. All these things were so easy to do before and now I just feel drained and a tinsy bit down about it but I know its early days and everything will work out.

When October came I did a huge clean out of my closet as I didn't like or wear most of the items I'd been holding onto for years. I thought new job, new wardrobe! But I won't be splurging when pay day comes around as I want to get my driving lessons and also saving up for Christmas! I think this year I'm going to start shopping for presents early November so then it's less stressful and kind to my purse. 

So... Onto what I'm loving so far this month. I could seriously go mad on make-up which reminds me I need to get my HG Nars Laguna bronzer again... fave for the past 2 years! I have got my eye on the Urban Decay ammo palette I think the colours are gorgeous and they look a lot more exciting than my Naked eye palette. I'm not sure whether to ask for this for xmas or treat myself yet. 

Tonight I had been browsing shops online and I have put some outfits together that caught my eye there's a bit of a mix from Topshop and Hollister... the first two outfits I'd wear on a daily basis and the third is for a more classy, girlie, day look : ) 

I particularly love the red top and brown riding boots, perfect for Autumn.

I know this is a short post but you can definitely expect more from me. I have quite a few ideas for posts and reviews so do keep checking your news feed ;) I've got a new camera so I'm hoping that I will be able to make my blog more personal by having lots of my own photos. Fingers crossed they will be good quality or at least better than my old phone ones.
I hope your all having a lovely weekend, I'm currently relaxing with my cat and going to catch up on the Vampire Diaries oooh exciting! 

Ciao for now

Summer bits & bobs


A small mix of different items that are right at the top of my wish list right now. I absolutely love the skirt but as I'm saving for my holiday and exam fees, it is quite pricey at £37. I really want it but I will just have to be careful with my money. I plan on buying lots of holiday clothes from H&M this year, I love it in there and are not so costly. The bag is a dream as of now and the ray bans I'm looking for a similar pair but at a lower price.   

Bikinis I have been really disappointed with the ranges in shops this year. I feel like they think no girl has boobs! Very pretty but mostly all I've seen have been bandeau's. I have been slacking with my summer body plan and do need to exercise and eat more healthy as I have found a lovely bikini in the Geri Halliwell collection at Next, its gorgeous, light blue and floral. But it does seem to cling to my love handles so lots of running is on my agenda for the next 7 weeks! Ahhhh.

Hope you are all well. Now I plan to relax all night cuddled up in bed, catching up on pretty little liars and blogs. Oh and here's a little exciting news I'm going to see The Saturdays tour in December! Cannot wait :D

Have a good night!

My favourite Saturday ♡


♡  Mollie King ♡ 

Well... this isn't a secret for those that know me, but I think Mollie from The Saturdays is amazing and I love her! I'm not usually a big fan of pop bands and usually take no interest and listen to a wide range of music but The SATURDAYS I just love, girlie and good sing-alongs. Its like when I was in my young teens and I was Reese Witherspoon's biggest fan ( to me I am haha), obsessed with legally blonde scrap books, posters, movies the lot! & That's how excited I get when anything is Mollie related... it maybe sad, but makes me very happy! She's always glamorous, stylish and bubbly she's the perfect idol and truly inspires me. I have heard today that the tour dates have been leaked and they are perfoming in December. I can't wait to get hold of the tickets, hopefully I will be able to get them as there is only one date available for Manchester. I can't wait to see Mollie, I think it will be a surreal experience but so exciting! I'm bringing my boyfriend along with me as I am going to batman live with him so it's fair, he will love it haha.
