Just a little two piece!

18:53pm
Hello everyone!
Happy Saturday! So we have made it to the weekend & yes I have a whole week off work next week. I'm not going away anywhere but I'm going to focus on some blog related things & have a week to myself to just chill & take some time out. So more than just a weekend off for me this week :)

This weekend the weather has definitely changed. It's become so Autumn like. It's just miserable. Horrible wet weather. I want the sunshine back! For the summer I saw several cute two pieces but I will admit I can be very self conscious about my body. Yeah I might be a size 6/8 but to me I hate my stomach! I hate any piece of clothing that puts it on display & im also not a fan of my legs. I'm not sure as to why I just don't like them I feel they are disgusting. So if I can help it I won't get them out. I tend to stick to jeans or for nights out I stick to leather pants or a jumpsuit so it's all hidden. But two pieces look so cute! Perfect for a summery outfit which could be wear during the day with flip flops or dress it up more for a night out with a pair of heels. Either way they are pretty much a perfect outfit choice so why have I not tried them before?!

I come across a page on Instagram Casey's fashion closest & instantly fell in love with the pieces she had to offer! A pair of pleat culottes, which I have to admit I am a fan on the culotte look recently. They look very classy teamed up with a pair of heels & cute top & accessories! Anyway another thing that caught my eye was a floral two piece. Which was out of my comfort zone! It was a skirt & crop top with both straps & off the shoulder straps. So perfect for the summer! The colours were bright but not too in your face. I fell in love! Not only that but the lady who owns the business was so so kind & helpful when I messaged her & like I have said before I love a place that offers such friendly customer service! Not only that but I got talking to Karlene & found out more about her business! Karlene is only 31, she was fed up of retail jobs & was made redundant so she signed up for the princes trust in January & signed up for a business course. By May she had set up her own business in her own living room! That definitely shows determination & I think takes courage. It's not something everyone would do but if you put your mind to it you can do anything!

I have to say after trying to outfit on after it arrived I liked it more on than I thought I would! I can be so fussy sometimes but the colours & print won me over! Not to mention the price! This is in the sale at Caseys fashion closet for just £10! Such an amazing price I think. That on its own is a seller. I definitely will be purchasing more items from there I know that. 

Definitely check out Caseys fashion closet at:

Have a fab weekend!

Time to go out out

20:18pm
Hello everyone! 
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend whatever you was up to! 

So this weekend after a few weekends of staying in trying to get through a couple of things I decided to brave it & go out out. For those of you who don't know what out out means it basically means going out to like a club as opposed to just going out for a few drinks at a pub. I use the phrase quite a lot I have to say. 
Anyway I said to myself I can't shut myself away for ever I need to dress up & go out & forget things in my head for a while. So I did but I won't go into how that ended....

During the week I was hunting through all my favourite websites & Instagram pages trying to find something to buy to wear it Saturday night. I will admit I can be pretty fussy. I'm not really a dress kind of girl, I really hate having my legs out. I seriously hate my legs. I don't feel comfortable at all having them out. I don't like short things whether it be dressss, skirts, shorts or playsuits. I seriously love playsuits lately but I always have to be careful because I don't like them when they are too short that your bum hangs out. To me that's just a no no. Talk about standards... 

Anyway as you can see by that as I'm pretty fussy I decided I wanted a nice jumpsuit. They are perfect! They cover your legs, yet they are classy & comfortable to wear. Only problem is when you need the toilet! That can be tricky! Just try not to have to go too often. Some people aren't keen on them because they say it's like wearing a onesie or your pyjamas or something but I really don't think so! If you can the right fit, colour or pattern & style they can look so nice. They definitely are on my list to purchase more of! You can get causal ones for day time wear or more dressy one for evenings. 

After looking about on all the websites I came across one of my all time favourite sites boohoo! I could easily spend a fortune on there! I find the prices so reasonable & you can always get offers on delivery charges or find discount codes to save some pennies. After all who doesn't like saving those!  I looked through on there & they had some lovely outfit choices I was spoilt for choice but I chose one which I immediately fell in love with! It come in a choice of different colours but I chose rose. Nice colour pink, not too pale & perfect for this time of year & not to mention the colour goes with my skin tone & hair colour. So that was that sorted. 

Next I wanted a nice pair of shoes. As you can probably guess just like clothes I am fussy with shoes. I will admit I am not the best person to walk in heels I never have been & never will be. So I have to find a heel that isn't too high & it also solid & not a tiny thin heel. At times this can be nightmare because all you get about are thin heels or platforms & they are no good to me because I can not walk in them. I wanted something different, something not black & nothing too high. Yes that's difficult to find. 

Looking through my Instagram on my news feed scrolling through I come across public desire I have heard of them before but never have I purchased anything from them. I logged on to their website & was so in love with the shoes & boots they sell! They do such a selection of different styles, colours, types of heels. So looking through the I came across the Rhys block heels in light grey faux suede. 
They were the perfect heel, not too high, a colour that's different than black but yet would go with a lot of things. The style was just cute. I had to have them! Not only that but they were in the sale! £14.99!! Such a bargain for such a cute pair of sandals!
At the moment public desire have a sale on & oh my there are so so many nice shoes! You need to check it out but to not blame me for the hole in your purse that it burns! 

When they arrived I loved them even more! They fitted true to their size, they were comfortable, looked exactly like they did in the picture where as some places don't always & they looked even better on. I definitely am sold on public desire. Not only that but they included a 20% discount code for me to use on my next order! That's definitely asking for trouble! 

Definitely make sure you check them out! I paid extra for day delivery & they arrived no problems at all & well packaged. The 

shoes are even individually bagged within the box. 

Anyway here are some pictures of my outfit all together :)

Not more make up...

18:05pm

Okay so I've had these bits a little while now & I keep meaning to post about them but have I erm no!

My mind gets sidetracked else where what with everything going on at the moment & I just forget.

So here I am now. Better late then never though right? 

When I went to Oxford I went to my favourite place there Bicester shopping village. For those of you haven't been you need to go! You are missing out! If like me you love your designer labels & shopping this place is so for you! 

One of my favourite shops is the cosmetics company store.
If like me you love make up, or any cosmetics for that matter this shop is totally a must for you! They sell all designer named cosmetics at cheaper prices! 

So for me when I go in here I go for a make up haul! & yes this time I did! I think I have an obsession with buying new lipsticks I have so so many but yet I always still need more. Is anyone else like that or is that just me? 

This time I found a colour which caught my eye & a brand I have heard good things about but never tried before. Bobbi Brown. 
The shade I got was: 

Pink gold shimmer (7) - Like it says in the name it's a pinky gold shimmery colour. Perfect for with a tan & for a natural everyday make up look. This has now become one of my new favourites. It's so subtle yet lovely colour. The texture is not to heavy either on your lips it's so nice & light & soft. 

Then the other items I got were all Mac of course! 
I picked up: 

Highlights (lipstick) - This like the Bobbi brown lipstick is a shimmery colour but this one not so much with a pink shimmer to it it's more or just a golden glow which is another perfect shade for everyday wear & also with a tan during the summer. I think both the shades of lipstick that I picked are perfect summery colours which is why I wanted them as most of the shades I have are more darker colours which to me are Autumn/winter shades. 

Feel the fever (Eyeshadow) - This is a colour I don't think I would of normally picked out but my mum found this colour for me & I have to say I love it! It has a purply tone to it but yet it's pigmented & glittery. So you can build the colour up so its more darker purple or you can have it less & have it glittery. So for a night out its a perfect colour! 

Bouffant veluxe pearl (Eyeshadow) - This is a lovely everyday subtle colour. It's a pink frosty colour which is perfect for any time of the day. You can use it to highlight or for all over the eyelid. Either way I love this colour the most I have to say! 

Lipsticks: left - pink gold shimmer & right: highlights 

Eyeshadows: left - feel the fever & right: bouffant veluxe pearl

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend!

Treats,Treats, Oh & More Treats!

Hello everyone!
Happy Mothering Sunday to all you yummy mummy's out there! I hope you have all had a lovely day. I know I have with my family. I don't know what it is about days like today but it makes me so full of love! I cannot contain it aha. I am very blessed to have my family that much I do know. I cannot wait for one day when I get to celebrate Mother's Day with a family of my own but I am a long shot away from all that yet. But hopefully it will happen. Anyway let's not have a downer...

I decided yesterday that it had been way too long since I had been shopping for myself so I took myself & one of my best friends shopping. I wanted to haul through primark really I will admit but I came out of there so VERY disappointed! I was expecting to find so much & be able to show it off to you all but I'm sorry that has just not happened. Much to my disappoint. I think it's because it is very much between seasons. They have all the summery stuff out & let's face it I refuse to be buying dresses, summer tops & bikini's when it is still so cold! I cannot bring myself to do it just yet. So my thought of coming out with a big bag just didn't happen. All I purchased was a cute pair of tie up flat shoes in a rust colour & some fluffy bed socks because let's face it we all love a comfy warm pair of socks to lounge about in our pyjamas with. Right?

The shoes are so lovely! I fell in love with then instantly. I'm not one for heels I will admit. So I tend to stick to flats all the time. They are more comfy & much better to drive in. Well they are all I can drive in to be honest. I have seen cute tie up ones before & was in two mind whether on not to purchase them but when I saw these I had to. I love the anything in the rust kind of colour. They go with so many things & they aren't just the usual black. Although they did have them also in black & white & black snakeskin which I do wish I had purchased as well now but never mind I have so many shoes. Maybe next time? These shoes were a bargain at just £8!! Yes that's right £8!

My other cheeky purchases were of course make up!
I love love going out & buying new pieces. But yes these new beauty's of mine are Mac cosmetics to add to my ever growing collection! I cannot resist it. But after all what woman can't?

I have had my eye on this blush for some time. Well it's more a highlight. I saw it used by several make up artists on Instagram & thought it was amazing! So I bit the bullet & brought it. It's called "soft & gentle".
The colour gives such a soft glow to the skin. Definitely gives me life! It's just amazing! & the pictures does not do it justice. It's hard to get a picture which shows it.

The eyeshadow I got is called sea worship. It's a lovely brown shimmery colour. Which I adore because they are such a nice natural colour. Nothing too harsh. Yet you can build on the colour of you wish. That's one thing Mac eyeshadows are great for. 

I nearly purchased another lipstick but I held back & was good. Maybe next time I shall aha. After all I really have no self control. Especially when make up is involved. 

Anyway, have a lovely Sunday evening whatever you are up to.

All about make up!

Hello everyone !
Like nearly every girl I love make up! I could not be without it or go out the house without it on because let's face it without it I actually feel naked! & I'm sure I'm not the only person who thinks that, or am I?
 I love Mac cosmetics they are one of my most favourite brands going but there is a brand I would love to share with you all that I have come to have an obsession with! Which is not only amazing quality, has a vast variety but also so affordable! Which yes makes it even better doesn't it?!
This brand is Make Up Revolution!

I have been using this brand for a while but recently seem to love it even more when I see the new items they keep bringing out! I first came across make up revolution when looking through Instagram. I came across a make up artists page &saw them using some of the products & immediately had to look them up on Instagram & online to find out more! Ever since then it's been lethal you could say aha. But cheaper than Mac though so that's how I justify it with myself. After all we all love a saving :)

I started off with an eyeshadow pallet & adored the colours! There are just so many to choose from & the colours are so pigmented in the palette I got! I was so impressed! That was just the start! Now 3 eyeshadow pallets later, several lipsticks, eyeliners & whatever else later I have now placed another order with them online which I have received & wanted to share with you so you can see just how amazing they are!


I am one for contouring like nearly every person out there at the moment so my first item I just HAD to purchase was the one blush sticks - one for contouring the other for highlight. I have tried using them & have to say they blend so lovely! The shimmer to the highlight is amazing I just love the colouring & texture to it as they are not at all heavy unlike some products I have seen. The contour isn't too dark & for me it suits my skin tone well as I am not really overly pale.

The lipsticks I have tried before & wanted to stock up on a few of my favourite shades! People have recently seen me wearing one of the shades & several have commented asking me what shade of Mac lipstick I am wearing, to find out that it's not actually Mac they are pleasantly surprised! My favourite shades are blindfolded, throne & legend. I love the dark & purply colours lately. So if you like those sorts shades you should definitely check them out!

This is me with the shade blindfolded on. It's such a lovely dark shade! Perfect for the dull Autumn/winter season!

From left to right: Blindfolded, throne & legend.
I really cannot get enough of the colours!

The next item I wanted to try was the brushes. I wanted something to use to help blend while contouring & also for eyeshadows. So I purchased the pro eyeshadow blending brush pro E103, the pro curve blusher & highlighting brush & also the pro eyebrow brush pro E104. This was so I could use it along with my Anastasia Beverley Hills dipbrow which is one item I cannot live without! The brushes on arrival I was surprised with just how good they were. I had ordered brushes off eBay previously. Especially for eyebrows but found after a little while they went funny & just didn't last. But I have been using the eyebrow brush for over a month now & it's still going strong & is the perfect shape & bristles for getting a great shape. I have definitely found a new favourite brush that's for sure so I will be sticking with it!


Another item is the focus & fix eye primer, for anyone who applies eyeshadow without using a
primer you do not know what you are missing out on! Get yourself a primer! I can always notice the
difference now with my eyes when I do & do not wear a primer. Eyeshadows stand out so much
better when wearing one. This primer is perfect & makes eyeshadows seem brighter & more intense. So definitely get yourself a primer if you don't use one you will thank me later :)


The last two items are pure pigments. I have a couple of pots of the Mac pigments & I love them. So I wanted to try these when I saw them especially as they were in the sale at the time for only £0.50! So you could not go wrong & I'm glad I got them. The colours are what they say they are on the pot pigments! The colours are gorgeous! I picked up a pinky & a browny colour which are most definitely the shades I go for.

First: Angelic & then indirect

I have to say indirect is my favourite shade! Such a lovely pigmented colour which is natural & not overpowering!

I cannot  wait to try more of the items make up revolution bring out & that I get my hands on but I definitely will be trying them! & I shall share them with you too :)

If  want the website it is: www.makeuprevolutionstore.com
Or check out there Instagram page where you can see more of the products.


Hope your all having a good week so far.

Take care
