Back to December: High Street Favourites #9

Good morning! ♥

I've been in such a good mood recently and I can't think of a reason why, but all I know is I hope I can stay like this during the next few weeks! I think it could be me getting into the festive spirit, I started my Christmas shopping and the thought of buying presents for other people and the look on their face when they open them has got to be one of my favourite parts of Christmas! Everything is starting to come together and I know that as soon as Christmas is over, it'll be the New Year and the thought of the unknown makes me extremely excited, these past 12 months have been some of the most exciting, upsetting, craziest times of my life and even though a lot has changed next year will bring me new and more exciting things! So a lot to look forward to.. roll on 2015!!

I haven't done a high street favourites post in a few weeks but I'm back now and I have a bajillion ideas running through my head for new blog posts and oohhh it's just very very titillating!

High Neck Jumper - New Look
Gem Drop Earrings - BANK
Floral Jacquard Top - Miss Selfridge
Ankle Buckle Strapped Boots - Miss Guided
Sleeveless Crop Top - Topshop
Tartan Scrunchie - BANK
Metallic Croc iPhone Case - Topshop
Black Bandeau - Miss Selfridge
Black Leather Backpack - River Island

Any blogger knows one of the key colors for A/W is that gorgeous dark green and the high street is on point at the mo, especially New Look with that gorgeous jumper that I may just have to treat myself to! 
Happy Reading..

Gift Guide #1: Gifts under £15 for her!

Nothing like a double blog post on a Sunday evening!
Told you all I'd be over-doing it on the Christmas posts this month..
If like me and you're completely and utterly hopeless with finding gifts for your friends then this post will be incredibly helpful (i hope!) Last year I was helped by videos from the lovely Fleur De Force, I literally bought near enough everything I saw on her videos for my mum, dad, sister and some of my friends so maybe, just maybe I could help you lot if you're a bit stuck on what to get! The majority of these I'd class as stocking fillers (mostly for beauty lovers) which to me, I think are so much better than one big present.
BONUS: they're all under £15 so nothing too pricey!

Mini Nivea Treats Bauble - Superdrug
Mushroom Mug - Topshop
Essie Duo Kit - Boots
'The Jolly Lippy Lolly' - The Body Shop
Lipstick Pyramid - Topshop
Revlotuion 144 Eyeshadow Collection - Superdrug
Soap and Glory Bauble - Boots
Zoella Beauty Bag - Feel Unique
MAC Lipstick - MAC
(yes I know they're £15.50 but still, 50 pence can't hurt!)

So there you go. Fingers crossed I've helped a little if any of you were getting a bit stuck on what you can buy for a friend or family member! I know I'd be so happy if I received these as gifts!

The Winter TAG!

Am I the only one who wouldn't mind waking up to a view like this on the 25th?
Seeing as it's nearly a whole month.. yes A WHOLE MONTH until Christmas Day I thought I'd get myself in the festive mood and do a little winter tag! 

 Top 2 Winter Beauty Essentials

Well I'd have to say a really good hydrating cream for my face, I get awful dry skin in the winter and probably a little pot of cherry Carmex, dry lips are one of my pet hates!

 Top 2 Winter Fashion Essentials

Definitely a sturdy pair of boots which aren't going to send me flying on the snow and a woolly over-sized checked scarf, they're so autumnal!

 What shoes do you ten to wear the most in winter?

My boots! They're just so comfy and you can get away with wearing a pair of fluffy socks underneath them.

 Favourite Winter Accessory?

Probably my beanie with a little fur bobble on top! (little tip - Topshop have got the cutest hats in this year, take a look; I got this one!)

 Favourite Winter Nail Polish

Probably a dark red, navy or khaki!

 Hot Cocoa or Apple Cider

Definitely hot chocolate with mounds and mounds of whipped cream and marshmallows!!

 Favourite Winter Candle

Mmmmm I bought a mulled wine one recently and it just smells amazing!

 Have you ever gone ice skating? Are you any good or do you FAIL miserably?

I've only ever been 2 or 3 times but i'll be honest, I kicked ass! I'm yet to fall over but that could definitely change this year aha!

 Does it snow where you live?

Sometimes but it's always before or after Christmas so we never normally have a 'white christmas'

 Have you ever made a snowman?

'Do you wanna build a snowmannnn..?' haha yes! but mine are always awful, they seem to end up with a head that's bigger than the body!

 What holiday do you celebrate?

Christmas Eve Eve, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day! 

Any excuse for a party really..

 Favourite Christmas Song?

'Merry Christmas Everyone' by Shaken Stevens!

 Favourite Christmas Movie?

ELF ELF ELF ELF ELF!!

 What is your favourite Christmas treat?

Probably a selection box! 

 If you were to ask Santa for one thing and you were guaranteed to get it, what would it be? (even if you don’t celebrate Christmas)

Realistically a new camera but ANYTHING.. i'd have to say enough money to live in the US and start a career over there!

 Do you have anything fun planned for this winter?

Umm considering I'm working non-stop over December I'd say no but I'm hopefully going on holiday just after new years so I'd say that's exciting!

Hope you've enjoyed this tag!

Feel free to do it on your blog ♥

Girls on TV: High Street Favourites #8

Bonjour!

I dont know why I thought I was French for a second there but HELLOOOO.. 

Back again with the 8th installment of my high street favourites (ooohhh), I can't believe I've been writing this blog for only 6 months, it feels like it's been a hell of a lot longer than that & the response i've got from it is so lovely so thanks a bunch for that!

Moving on, I didn'y actually have a theme for this weeks edition of my favourites but I just really fancied these things and I thought why not share them with you all, so here goes..

Before I even put this collage together I had no idea everything would be black and white haha, just shows I love me a good old bit of monochrome!

High Neck Top - River Island
Black Messenger Bag - Forever 21
Statement Necklace - Topshop
Striped Bardot Top - New Look
Cable Knit Jumper - Topshop
Fedora Hat - Forever 21

Heart Jumper - Topshop

Rose Gold Zip Boots - H&M

Are you loving monochrome this week? Let me know in the comments!

The Perfect Winter Boots!

First of all, apologies for the lack of posts recently..

Secondly, ITS FINALLY BECOMING WINTER!! 

I don't know if any of you can see how excited I am through this post by the amount of capital letters and exclamation points I'll probably be using but I am seriously so happy that the temperatures dropping, the hats and scarfs and coming out and soon.. the Christmas markets will be here! HALLELUJAH :D

My favourite thing to change around autumn/winter is the fashion.. now we all need good sturdy pair of shoes that aren't going to send us flying! And luckily for you all, I've found them in none other than Primark for a good old £15! They are seriously so comfy and also, they give a little bit of height and best of all you can wear them in the day time as well as the night time.. what more could you want? heelllooooo..

I'd say the only bad thing is that they may not be waterproof but who needs dry toes when you've got slipper socks to throw on under them? JOKES. 

So, all joking aside.. I bought them recently so they should still have them in stock!

Happy shopping! Let me know what your go to shoes are for the winter.

Back To Uni: High Street Favorites #7

Short and sweet post for you today..

For some of you more my age it might be time for you to go back to uni and we all know what that means.. NEW CLOTHES (eep)

Lucky yous!!

Unfortunately for me I don't go to uni so I don't get the perks of the NUS card, student lock ins and an almighty student loan, I don't know whether to cry now or later. But for those of you that have just got their loans, don't buy books.. buy clothes haha! Do it for the people like me that have to slave away for £5 something an hour (I weep)

So I thought I'd base this weeks high street favorites on a few things I've been looking at over the past few days!

Enjoyyyyy....

Turtle Neck Striped Top - River Island

Leather Jacket - Miss Selfridge

Box Backpack - New Look

Grey Crop Top - Topshop

Flatform Boots - Bank

High Waisted Jeans - ASOS

Faux Fur Hat - New Look

Hope these help you with an idea into what your want your uni wardrobe to include!

Happy shopping sweeties..

My Autumn Staples 2014

Hello again beautifuls!

Wellllll guess who's back! This time with my autumn staples for this year. This post was inspired by a recent shopping spree (oopsy) when I went it into Liverpool City Centre with my cousin. I may of slightly ventured into the shops on Church Street and picked up a few things for my a/w wardrobe! eeeepp

My first staple is definitely polar necks. Now, I don't mean the polar necks that are wrinkled around your neck and come up to your chin. I bought this gorgeous ribbed striped top from Forever 21 for a wonder £10.50 & I absolutely love it! It's slightly cropped so I've decided on wearing it like the model >> with some high waist black jeans or maybe a black skater skirt, black tights and a pair of ballet pumps. I think this style of top is going to be huge this season, I mean you can never have enough stripey tops and polar necks in your life can you!? 

If you want this for your a/w wardrobe, get it - Here.

My next staple has got to be a good old sturdy pair of boots! I've been searching the high street for a proper pair that won't break the second I step out the door and also ones that will go with practically everything! I come across these little beauties from New Look, sadly I haven't bought them yet but come my next pay day they'll be mine *cue the evil laugh* 

Now they are plain, but I can definitely see them bringing an outfit together! If you fancy buying them for a delightful £29.99, get them - Here!

Well you're going to need a new bag for the new season, it's only right! I find myself around autumn/winter looking at over-sized slouchy bags to go with my baggy top, skinny jeans and my 'I don't care, I'm cosey' type of look. It's hard to find a bag that you won't get annoyed carrying round which is the case with most bags :( 

Which is why I'm still searching for the perfect one. Don't you worry though, oh no! I've got my eye on what I think is a perfect bag for autumn/winter and that is this b-e-a-utiful tan bag courtesy of River Island! The best thing is, it's only £32, and for me.. that's a bargain! If you're searching for a new bag and want this one, get it - Here!

If you don't own a baggy jumper to help you through the cold months then you're doing this whole thing wrong! Now it is hard to find one that won't irritate you and make you want to pull your birthday suit off which is why I always go for a ribbed knitted jumper that won't make me itch! I've been looking at this one for a few days now and decided that it's definitely one for my winter wardrobe. The color is on point and it would go so effortlessly with a pair of black skinny jeans and those black boots! 

(You'll start to see a theme in my posts that through winter I loves me my black skinnies!)

Where else are you going to find a good quality jumper that won't cost you an arm and a leg, why.. none other than Topshop! Get this jumper Here for £38 :)

Last but not certainly not least, probably my favorite part of an autumn outfit.. a good old dark lipstick to tie it all together! I've currently been loving 'Twig' by MAC (I wrote a review here if you'd like to have a nose) but it's not dark enough for my liking! Last year my favorite lipstick for this season was probably 'The Damned' or 'Inhibition' by Topshop so if I fail to find one that matches those, they'll be getting re-purchased for this year! Now normally I don't really suit berry type of colors and red-ish tones but I'm trying my hardest to step out of my comfort zone but it's definitely proving more difficult than I thought! My mum always says.. 'stick to what you know'.

Let me know your autumn/winter staples below!

XOXO: High Street Favorites #6

Hi againnnnnn

Apologies for the lack of posts but I have been a tad busy! 

Sadly, I left my work *sad face* but this means on wards and upwards.. and I really can't wait. Anyway, onto the 6th installment (I think 6th) of my high street favorites yaaaay!

Now that I have a whole week off I'm planning on spending the majority of that spooning my quilt with some sweets, a laptop, a unhealthy amount of Chuck Bass and a million online shopping baskets full of new clothes - I literally couldn't be in a happier place! 

Leather Bag - ASOS

Tartan Scarf - River Island

Orange Wrap Crop Top - New Look

Ripped Jamie Jeans - Topshop

Floral Purse - River Island

Yellow Clutch - Vintage Styler

Pink Stone Earrings - Topshop

Mint and Cream Earrings - Vintage Styler

I definitely think accessories are going to be the biggest part of a Autumn/Winter outfit this year, especially earrings like these and bright clutches like this gorgeous one from Lydia Bright's collection!

Let me know your favorite a/w accessories!

Autumn OOTD #1

Well the weather today was pretty miserable for the duration of the day but that only means one thing in my head.. AUTUMN. 

Fricking Autumn hkdlsflskhs

Anyway, I was only talking a few days ago to my friend about clothes for this season and how much I love going shopping for jumpers, boots and a new tartan scarf haha! 

I know I'm a tad behind on this whole 'coat trend' but I've wanted this since the days I set my eyes on it & I couldn't be more happier now that I finally have it in my wardrobe waaaahhhhh

The first two photos don't really do this top any justice! I don't think I've actually ever seen a top like this anywhere in England, I may have not been looking hard enough but so far.. still nothing! I bought this on my jolly holiday to Fuerteventura in June and I literally haven't had it off since I got home, it just goes with everything! Me personally, I love pairing it with my pair of Mom jeans from Topshop and my converse or some sandals!

So my outfit - 

Coat - Zara

Top - Stradivarius

Jeans - Primark

Shoes - Converse

Keep your eyes peeled for more OOTD's coming soon!

Bye now! xxx

*Autumn Days*: High Street Favorites #3

Hello there beauties!

Back again with the third installment of my high street favorites! (oooo) 

I've realized that this is starting to become a weekly ritual just because I spend so much time online and looking at clothes (how exciting is my life?!) I find myself choosing my favourite things from that week and putting them into my overly priced basket that just keeps getting bigger and BIGGER!

As it's coming to the end of Summer, how depressing.. I've starting looking at clothes that I can wear for Autumn.

Fun fact of the day: I LOVE AUTUMN. I love jumpers and wool coats and boots.

But because Summer isn't completely over, well hopefully.. This weeks favorites are a mix of both!

Floral Culottes - Topshop

Fluffy jumper - River Island
Floral Shorts - Very (Love Label)
Printed Shirt - Zara
Leather Boots - Zara
Floral Co-Ord - Top & Shorts  - New Look

Just a note to whoever brought culottes back into fashion, THANK YOU!!
Let me know in the comments what your favourite things to wear in Autumn are :)

A/W Wishlist

Its makes me sad to say but summer's nearly over *queue the tears*

BUT. That can only mean one thing.. Autumn & Winter and NEW CLOTHES!

(I just had to make that bigger for the emphasis!)

So I thought I'd do my first A/W Wishlist seems as all the high street companies are starting to bring their collections out, eeeeeep!! We all know what this means: over-sized coats, baggy jumpers, autumn colors and Christmas of course.

I decided to search online for a few bits and bobs that I could buy to start off my A/W wardrobe and well I wasn't disappointed. 

I found these little beauties which I'm just dying for!!

Oversized Jersey Coat - Topshop

Black Boots - ASOS

Paisley Cami Top - River Island

Floral Crop Top - Topshop

Cropped Jumper - Topshop

White Structured Coat - Zara

I tried to choose my favourite item out of all these but I just couldnt! If I had to choose 2 they'd probably be the two coats, I absolutely adore them! This post has made me so fricking excited for Winter now, it's my favourite time of the year and I just can't wait to sit in my house with a cuppa or hot chocolate watching Home Alone aaarrggghhh!

Thanks for reading,

Bye now! xxx
