Infinite Dreaming...

Photo from my Instagram

Just before christmas my good friend Angela, sent me this adorable bracelet.
Simple yet very beautiful.
She hand makes lots of lovely jewellery and to be completely honest, I want it all.

For this weekend only, you can get these little cuties for only £1.
That's dead cheap.
So, I suggest you go over to her website, Infinite Dream, and have a look.

Role Model.

 Original Picture: here

I had some creativity yesterday afternoon.
And a drawing of the ever so lovely Zoella came out of it.
Her youtube videos and blog posts are some of my favourites, and she gives some of the best beauty reviews and fashion finds.
Plus she has this completely adorable little quirky charm to her that you can't help but love.
Zoe's a role model to a lot of young women all around the world -including me.

In November, she made an incredibly inspiring video about dealing with panic attacks & anxiety, something which I deal with (but never talk about) That video made me love her all that more.
It made me realise that I'm not the only experiencing these things and helped me gain a bit more confidence and hope for my future. It also made me a bit more positive. That videos helped me an awful lot.
Definitely worth a watch.

It was really only a matter of time before I got out my paints and paper out and sat down to create something for Zoe.
I'm thinking of sending this out to her. But I'm not sure yet.
I'll keep you posted.

Review | Topshop Whimsical Lipstick

 Topshop Lips In Whimsical £8

Please don't judge. I am not the sort of girl that goes crazy for make-up.
I like it, yes, but I don't wear a lot of it. Mainly due to the fact that I don't actually know how to even put half of it on.
So, when I was doing my normal 1am online retail therapy via topshop, I was fairly shocked that I became incredibly intrigued by a particular lipstick. This one to be precise. 
I've never really worn lipstick. I'm a natural redhead, and with that comes ridicuously pale skin. 
Therefore, a lot of lipstick shades I've liked over the years have either made me look like a clown or so pale that I actaully look increbily ill.

However, after reading a ton of reviews I decided to try this one.
It's more of peachy coral colour rather than you're everyday nude pink.
Which is lovely because it means I don't look washed out.
And it's fairly easy to apply -it has a matte finish and is quite creamy.

I've never brought anything from the Topshop make-up line simply because I didn't believe Topshop would make decent make-up. but I've been pleasantly surprised.
I will definitely be trying other products from their beauty line.

Have you tried anything from the Topshop make-up line?

P.S- This is my first ever review. How did I do?

I Accidentally Went Shopping. Again.

Blue Shirt; New Look, Floral Tank Top; H&M, Black Bow Clip; Claire's, Rings; New Look.

I had a day off work today and I went shopping. 
Again.
Surprise!
I had quite a good day. Although I didn't do much, I had some 'me' time and it was just a very unstressful day.
Plus, I got some cute items whilst out.
The blue shirt from new look is quite different from what I usually wear, but I saw it and instantly fell in love.
The picture doesn't do it justice.
And I've been looking for a big bow hair clip for ages and I just found the perfect one from Claire's.


Also, if you don't already, watch Zoella on youtube. 
I've been obsessively watching her videos recently.
She has such great taste in clothes and make up and I've been very inspired by her fashion choices recently.
(maybe why I loved that shirt so much.)

Snow day.

Jacket; New Look.

I live in a small town on the south coast of England, so, when it comes to snow, which is very rarely, I love it.
I'm usually  a big grouch when it comes to winter. I hate how cold it is.
But when it snows, I'm a  very happy bunny.
I just love watching it fall to the ground. and it's so pretty when it's untouched.
It's good that i found this adorable little jumper whilst rummaging through a New Look store just before christmas.
It's so fluffy and warm and has these cute little ears which are currently making me feel like a polar bear in this weather.

Living Strange.


Instead of sleeping, I've drawing and painting. 
Its seems creativity gets the best of me at night time. 
But I like it. I want it to continue for more than a few days.
My heads flooding thoughts this week. 
I need to get them out on paper. But there's not enough hours in the night.
I guess that's what listening to 'Champagne Supernova' on repeat does to you.

Happy (Late) New Year!

Leather Jacket; New Look, Top; Boohoo, Skirt; Runway Splash, Bag; Vintage, Shoes; New Look, Bunny Ring; Temporary Secretary, Heart Ring; H&M, Necklace; Trade Show.

Happy (late) new years everyone!! I hope you all had a great end to the year!
I spent the beginning of 2013 with friends and family celebratinnng!
Awful outfit pictures, I know but I didn't have much time to have decent ones (plus that's what I posted on to instagram) 
Anyway I LOVED what I wore to see the new year in. The skirt is a dip hem style and, at only £8, was such a steal. The heels are basically the most comfiest heels I've ever worn and of course I threw my trusty leather jacket on to finish the look. 
The bunny ring I found on one of my favourite blogs/online shops, Temporary Secretary. Seriously, check them out because they sell some the cutest jewellery I have ever seen.  
I've done a bit of sale shopping today, so I hope to have a couple of outfit posts for you soon...
