Sorry....:(

I know that I haven't posted on here in a while and by a while I mean a LONG while!
I'm really sorry it is just because I have been  SUPER busy with revision :'( . However my exams are finally over *does little celebration dance* so now you can expect lots of posts to pop up including my spring shopping spree post or spring haul, I haven't decided what to call it yet so you will have to deal with the suspense.

Bye for now

Spring/Summer Bags!!

I love all things springy or summery! I have found a few of my favourite bags that are new this summer and put them together or you! Enjoy x

So first is this lovely daisy backpack. The daisy pattern reminds me so much of summer and is just so cheerful. I actually own this bag, I think that it is really good because it fits so much stuff in it and is great for school. I also comes with a detachable IPad case so it's a win win situation!
£35.00
 
Next is another Accessorize bag, which I personally think is really cool. Get ready for the big reveal....
It's just so quirky and modern. It is great because it could be used for a casual outfit or a more dressed up outfit, to me it's perfect!
£25.00
 
I'm hooked on the Accessorize website. To. Many. Nice. Bags This bag is so adorable! It reminds me of lemonade, for obvious reasons, and seems like the perfect size for Holliday essentials.
 
 
£22.00
 
This Topshop pineapple bag is a perfect bag for hand-luggage or days out! Being a backpack makes it really easy to wear and also really comfy and the pineapple print is beyond words. Sorry about the blurry image :0.
£34.00
 
That's it for this blog post because I don't want to bore your socks off, I hope you enjoyed it!
Have a nice spring :)

Accesorize 'Lovely Day' Eye Palette

This eye palette contains some amazing colours for every season. It includes summery creams and pale blues, to wintery navy shades and greys. It also has some really a shimmery gold and copper which are great for autumn and definitely my favourite shades. As well as these shimmery shades it also has some great matt shades.

I personally think that the picture on the website doesn't really show all the shimmer that well so here is a picture of my rather damaged palette.
Sorry for the rubbish photography

It comes in at £10 and with 32 different shades I think that's not to bad and it would be a great gift.  The only problem is that it is quite flimsy and the colours can may smash but apart from that I love it and definitely recommend it.

Winter Coats



It may be well into winter now but that doesn't mean winter coat shopping is over! I love buying new coats for the winter as they are so cosy and warm. Right now I have a blue Duffle coat, like Paddington bear :). I got it from Matalan, basically because I couldn't afford any other shops, it is really warm and has tartan on the shoulders, I will put a picture and a link underneath. It only cost £45 which is actually quite reasonable for a coat that will last me 2-3 years. Unfortunately they don't do the coats in a UK size 4 or 6 so I had to get an 8 which is quite big on me.
(sorry about the scary model) I has really cosy lining on the leaves and at the front. I can never manage to do up the top toggle without strangling my self, its probably as I am small.
Matalan Duffle Coat
As you can see from my coat, I love Duffle coats, there just so cute and I always feel like Paddington bear when I wear them.  So have found a few more duffel coats below.
This one is from ASOS and is £85. I love the Tartan on the sleeves, it also looks the perfect size :).
ASOS Coat


This coat  is from Topshop and is very similar to the ASOS one. This one cost s£89 pounds but has the benefits of a high blend of wool.Topshop Coat
This Zara coat is slightly more pricey than the others, £109 but it does have the advantage of being a lot shorter and therefore more easy to wear and style.
Zara Duffle

I also love parka coats especially Topshop ones , they just look so warm and cosy. I am a big fan of coats with fluffy linings and furry hoods. Below you will find some more winter favourites of mine.
Here is a really nice casual parka from Topshop (no surprises there)  It costs £78 which is an OK price for Topshop. If I could afford it I would definitely buy it.Short Parka Topshop
Here is another Topshop Parka with a super fluffy hood, it costs £95. It looks really warm for winter and detachable lining.
Long Parka Topshop


This parka is slightly more on the edgy side with the Black sleeves. It is a good price, £55 and is from the Boo Hoo website. 

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed my rather long (for me anyway) post.

Happy shopping ;)

Natural Collection Spot Cover-up

 The Natural Collection cover-up is a great alternative to a normal blemish stick. It is a green colour meaning it cancels out the red of a spot and leaves an even tone where you can then apply your usual cover-up. This is only £1.99 which is a very reasonable price considering how effective it is. It also has a very nice creamy texture which makes it easy to blend. I usually find that it lasts for up to 4 or 5 hours which is a good amount of time if you are intending to wear it to school.
 Underneath are some pictures of the product :)
It is a good small compact size (roughly 5 cm tall).
Here is what it the actual stick looks like....
.....and finally here is a swatch of it on my hand.

Overall Thoughts on the Product

I think that overall it is a very neat, well priced product and it is also very easy to use. I was not expecting such good results from such a little product!
4/5 stars.
Below is the link for the Boots web page on the green cover up stick.

Winter Socks
Since it is almost officially winter I have decided it is time to bring out the winter socks. Here are a pair of mine I bought recently, cough*September*cough, from Matalan for £6.00. They have special grippiness on the bottom to stop you from slipping and they also have a soft fluffy lining to keep your toes extra toasty in the winter months.

Minus a pom-pom :(
