Just a little post about life

I've not been too great at all with blogging lately, due to being quite ill and hopefully (fingers crossed I'm not jinxing myself here) I'll feel a lot better soon, preferably I'll be fine for the long coach journey to the cruise on friday (even the thought makes me feel a bit sick).

My nan brought over my camera today for us to take on holiday so I thought I'd just take a few pictures for my blog. They aren't about makeup beauty or anything like that they're just really pictures of my house and things that sort of express who I am. As well as my clothes for my holiday! enjoy.

How I'd style a recent Asos purchase

Yesterday I purchased this dress for my upcoming holiday and I thought I'd do yet another Polyvore post just to show how I'm planning to accessorize it. The only thing I actually own out of the items shown here are the lipstick which I think will be a beautiful contrast to the vibrant yellow, however I do have similar shoes earrings and a bag to wear with the dress. I plan to wear this outfit at night during my holiday hopefully with a tan! I can't wait.

Polyvore: A few every day products!

As well as using Polyvore for fashion I also noticed there was an opportunity to browse beauty items so I thought I'd do a post on a few of my every day make up products. Unfortunately I couldn't include other things I use because they weren't available on Polyvore but these are probably a few of the most important things I use. I love every single product shown here and other than maybe trying another mascara I can't see my every day make up routine not including these products for a very long time. I'm looking forward to doing a post about my every day makeup products when I get a camera but until then I just thought I'd give a little insight into my favourite make up products.

Laura Mercier Oil free foundation primer 

Bourjois Bronzing Powder

Revlon grow luscious mascara

Mac studio finish concealer

Real techniques stippling brush

Laura Mercier mineral powder foundation

L'oreal Super liner

A glittery nail day

I thought I'd write a little post about the nail varnish I'm wearing at the moment, I actually painted my nails last night with Essie's Ballet Slippers which was a bit of a nightmare because I am not the most patient person with nail varnish and it needs a few coats. Ballet slippers is a lovely colour though ,when you build it up, and becomes the most perfect baby pink kind of colour. (I actually bought mine in a pack of three from tkmaxx but you can buy it here for £5.95)

However, this morning after re-painting over the various smudges, I decided to add possibly my all time favourite nail varnish over the top. I'm not sure of the actual name possibly something like "iridescent pink" but it is easily recognisable if you're ever looking for it. The glitter in this nail varnish just transformed the look of my nails and made them look amazing (they're still a little messy but I feel like the glitter adds another dimension). I bought this from Superdrug for about £2.99, cheap as well.

It'd be really helpful if I actually could get a decent picture of my nails but I don't have a camera accessible to me at all at the moment, so you'll have to bear with me.

I'm not really a nail kind of person but I just can't resist anything with glitter and I really think it's a stunning combination.

Polyvore: A Summer evening

I really love Polyvore and just thought It might be interesting to post an outfit I've put together, featuring my favourite perfume Stella summer rose, and one of my favourite people/artists ever Eliza Doolittle, the rest are things I don't actually own but are the sort of things I'd usually go for if I was shopping. I went with a sort of deep berry theme, for something suitable for a warm summer evening (I'm wishing a little here).

A very rainy day (emphasis on the very)

                        So lately in England it has never ceased to rain, and I am not really that bothered about rain but it has been relentless and this is supposed to be summer? Anyway I can't really complain because soon I'll be off holiday with the sunshine, and the sunshine, and really I am just very excited about the sunshine.

If you've not noticed I have no idea where this post is going except it is a post about rain which obviously is a very interesting subject. I did actually venture out today (thinking that it wouldn't be too rainy as it's not been that bad lately) but no, I was wrong. I actually went to Bakewell with my Grandmother and Auntie but we didn't end up staying there long because of the terrible weather.

Anyway, rubbish about weather over now, I'm actually quite looking forward to writing a few posts about beauty and style and things like that but until I get a decent camera (or a decent camera charger for my average camera) I don't really have the ability to take some nice pictures for my blog so that'll have to wait a little while.

here's a song I like which is aptly named "rain".

Get to know me tag!

believe in myself
