OOTD: Not-so-lazy Sunday

I've been getting lots of sweet comments about my outfit posts both on here and on my Formspring recently, so I'm trying to make a conscious effort to remember to take photos of what I've worn and post them on here for you. I always feel so self-conscious when having my outfit photos taken for me haha, my sister always laughs at me! This is just what I'm wearing today, I've been out for lunch with my Dad, brother and sister, and then to food shop haha, nothing fancy ;)

Style Notes: Festival Chic

Micro Trend: Festival Chic

The summer season is finally upon us, and with it comes the now-famed British music festivals, in all their muddy, sweaty and fashionable glory. Ten years ago, the only essential items for a music festival would be a tent, trusty wellies and of course, your wristband pass. Even though the likes of Reading and Glasto have been around for many years, it is only in recent years that a micro-trend now known as Festival Chic has fully developed. Even mentioning the word "festival" now immediately brings about images of Peaches Geldof, Fearne Cotton, Alexa Chung and Pixie Lott, each with their eclectic, quirky styles.

Summer dresses teamed with colourful, patterned boots, long socks, an armful of bracelets, a straw hat, denim torso jacket, oversized jumpers, cut-off micro mini denim shorts, headbands, khaki coloured vests, men's belts... The list just goes on. Gone are the days where no-one cared what you looked like for 3 or 4 days of music madness, replaced by the unspoken festival uniform, designed especially to look casually undone.

So let's take a look at some of the best ensembles taken from this year's Coachella festival in California, while we wait for this year's festivals to get into full swing:

What would be your essential pieces for a festival this summer?

If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it...

As many of you must already know, I'm somewhat of a magpie when it comes to jewellery. I am possibly the ultimate Jewellery Junkie, and have a slight penchant for long necklaces and charm bracelets in particular. I went through my jewellery wardrobe while unpacking my things the other week, and own 5 charm bracelets - how I've managed this is a spectacular feat in itself!

Although I've never been a fan of costume jewellery - preferring something dainty and elegant - cheap and cheerful statement necklaces from the one and only Primarni keep sneaking their way into my jewellery wardrobe as of late!

More recently however, is my discovery of rings. I never used to be a fan of rings at all. My fingers are quite small and it is often hard to find rings that fit me well, added to the fact that I am the biggest klutz ever, meaning that I lose absolutely everything, it just doesn't make for a good affair -____- Lots of high street stores are offering beautiful cocktail rings lately, and I've seen so many stock images that show gorgeous pieces, so I've been busy working away at a ring collection to rival my extensive necklace and charm bracelet collection.

My current offerings:


Some of my favourite places to pick up pieces like these include:

• Eclectic Eccentricity - an online boutique full of jewellery with 'inspired kookiness'. Lots of vintage inspired pieces.
• Rock 'N Rose - I only discovered this brand about 2 or 3 weeks ago, and I'm completely in love with their pieces. I'm even more encouraged by the fact that Pixie Lott also shops here ;)
• Lunacy Boutique - I love their quirky jewellery and accessories, especially this toast ring, how adorable?!
• And of course, not forgetting my beloved Accessorize, Topshop and Miss Selfridge ;)

What kind of jewellery do you tend to opt for?

Review: Lush Whoosh! Shower Jelly

Just a quick review on another of Lush's shower jellies. This is the second shower jelly that I've tried, and is already a contender for one of my favourite Lush products of all time. Also, while we're on the subject of Lush, hotfoot it to your local store, or send your mail order now, because a little list of products to be discontinued was recently published :( Among these was my beloved Candy Fluff dusting powder, which I have now stocked up on :D

Whoosh Shower Jelly

£2.45 - 100g

(image taken from lush.co.uk)

This smells unbelievable, very citrusey and summery. The description on the website says that it is "excellent for overcoming jet-lag or general fatigue", and I would like to add that it is also excellent for overcoming ridiculous proportions of heat! I freeze this product, and it is even better frozen than left normally. As with other shower jellies, you crush a tiny bit of the product into a shower puff and lather up as normal. It leaves my skin tingly and refreshed, and smelling like grapefruit! The other only thing I would mention is that it isn't moisturising at all.

Hope you're all well! Thank you for 183 followers ^_^

Haul + Rock 'N Rose Surprise!

So, as I'm sure everyone in the bloggisphere is now well aware, this weekend has been beautiful for weather in England (have I really resorted to blogging about... the weather?!) Hope everyone's had lovely weekends in the sun! I spent Saturday sunning in the garden with my sister, and reading a book with my iPod, such a typical thing to do :) And I am proud to say, I even managed some tan lines!

Today I went into town with my sister (again :p) to help her pick things to spend her birthday money on. I bought a Vitamin E Face Mist and Facial Buff from The Body Shop. I hadn't actually realised how long it'd been since I had a proper look in The Body Shop, I always walk past it and kind of forget that it's even there...

Let me just say: the face mist is absolute genius in this weather, I kept spraying it on my face to cool myself down and top up the moisture on my face. The product claims to "soften and refresh", which it definitely does! And it was £7 which isn't too bad either ;) I also highly recommend purchasing the facial buff. I used it tonight to work in my facial cleanser, and it leaves your skin feeling SO clean, because it works the cleanser right into the skin. :) £3 - bargainous!

Then we (by we, I mean my sister and I!) bought disposable cameras and got snap happy in the park by the town centre. I'm taking them to get developed tomorrow - so excited to see the results!

Also, my Rock 'N Rose delivery arrived today. I was so excited! It came in a pretty package also, and with a little custom 'Rock 'N Rose sweet :O Such a cute touch! Here's my little order, a Scrabble ring! <3

Finally, please click and follow Masie's new bloggy! Her old blog got deleted recently, and she's had to start over again, so regaining her old followers would be a good start for the new blog! Masie is such a sweetheart too, follow follow!

Lots of love,

XOXO

OOTD: 24° Heat!

Aloha my lovelies! How gorgeous was the sun today?! Just a quick OOTD, seeing as I haven't posted one in a while :) I tend not to plaster my blog with photos of my un-photogenic self... I wore this to go shopping and then to laze around in my garden, basking in the lullly 24°C sunshine :) I had to edit these photos for the colouring because I'm a massive fail, and had the wrong white balance setting on my camera. Fail.

Heart print playsuit - Topshop - £25 (£22.50 with student discount, lovely jubly!)
Pearl and chain necklace - Vintage - £5
Black ruffle sandals - Primark - £12

Gossip Girl - "Last Tango Then Paris"

As promised, here's another Gossip Girl episode fashion guide installment! The season three finale came out yesterday in America (and on Wednesday for UK viewers, ITV2 at 8pm ^_^) and it was absolutely amazing. I was worried that it'd be a crap ending, considering the entire season has been a bit up and down in terms of quality. But eee - this has GOT to be one of the best episodes ever :D I'm sorry in advance if there are some spoilerish parts to this post, I've endeavoured to keep spoilers to a minimum.

I'm going to start with my personal favourite, Blair Waldorf, again, after a slight mishap in the wardrobe department last week with that ugly, dumpy ballgown, Blair is back to normal with a dainty floral dress as her main outfit throughout the episode. Teamed with a gorgeous mane of brunette curls, quirky bright heels and then an olive green coat with scarf and arm-length gloves, Blair is every inch the grown up Upper East princess.

Oh Little J... I would probably still like you if you didn't have such horrible, horrible extensions. I much preferred Jenny circa short 'edgy' hair. But seriously, her outfits are getting okay minus the extensions. Take this little minidress and jacket combination ;D And finally- I seriously don't understand how J manages a 180° turn on her emotions by the end of the episode o____O"

Serena has a multitude of adorable outfits in this episode, my favourite being the outfit she wears while in Blair's wardrobe with that gorgeous statement costume necklace. However, Serena in a hat? Not my favourite look. Sure, she is going for a I-haven't-showered-and-need-to-leave-the-apartment-now look, but in other seasons and episodes, she's pulled the look off perfectly sans ugly hat.

And to finish: Blair. I adore your coat and need to steal it now. :3

XOXO

Just a few things...

Just a quick odds 'n ends post! I've just spent a pretty long time unpacking my suitcases, full of clothes, accessories and shoes, from my Uni room, and I've come to ask myself: WHY oh why do I have so many clothes?! Shopaholic Syndrome has returned once again. I don't even know how I fit this amount of things in my wardrobe! I'm planning to take a 'capsule wardrobe' to Uni with me next semester, and am finally getting rid of a lot of unworn/never worn pieces.

I'll be opening my own little eBay "boutique" soon, because I have SO much to sell. Anyone interested? Everything will be going from as cheap as £1, so you may be able to nab yourself a nifty bargain! If you would prefer a blog sale, leave a comment/email and let me know!

Finally, I've started my hunt for goodies for my blog giveaway ;D It's been a long time coming, but I finally have the spare time to find pretty things for you, and I have WAY more than 100 followers now, so at 200, a bigger giveaway will be coming :)

Lots of love and cupcakes,

XOXO

Ins & Outs #6

Ins & Outs #6

INS:

♥ I had a pretty good last week in Southampton with the girls and flatmates. Highlights included: Cook block and third floor Magellan being true idiots and keeping my entire flat and myself up until 3am early on Monday morning. SO much drama, and apparently the flat below us had someone end up in hospital, eek.

♥ My parents' restaurant reached it's 2nd year of trading! Eee, so happy for them both, my mother was like a little excitable child and proceeded to ring me at 8am on Tuesday morning to remind me of the occasion.

♥ Family Guy and rose wine night with Heather was funfun. As was wasting lots of moolah in the city centre for clothes to wear to my last night out before the summer.

♥ My Topshop make-up order arrived! Love all the products I ordered except from the lipstick crayon in 'Vintage', not my colour at all sadly.

♥ Finding Pixie Lott's scrabble ring and ordering it :) Also, Pixie Lott's new video, how gorgeous does she want to be?!

♥ Had an amazing night out with the flatmates and fashion girls on Wednesday. So sad to leave :(

♥ It's been a good week for music - new amazing releases from Super Junior, Jay Chou, Wonder Girls and a few odd tracks here and there!

♥ I'm hooooome! :D

OUTS:

♥ My Topshop lippie not suiting me :( It is absolutely gorgeous but completely unwearable on me sadly. I may put this in some sort of blog sale soon.

♥ My room at home being unable to fit all of my belongings ^_^"

♥ I already miss my flatmates and girls :( Was so hard not to cry on Thursday morning. And I left my Kevin magnet on our fridge! I'm so sorry Kevin, I didn't mean to abandon youuu!

♥ My monster hangover on Thursday. I was sick about 6 times in the morning and didn't recover until late on Friday afternoon. Nice one Michelle, so damn classy.

♥ Lack of things to do at home. Damn.

XOXO

Oh Urban Outfitters...

Oh Urban Outfitters, how you love to tease me with your beautiful beautiful clothes.

I want my wardrobe to be the proud home of these pieces :(

NOTD: Gone Fishing

Long time no post :( During my little absence from Blogger, I have packed up my many belongings in my teeny tiny Uni room, had a ridiculously amazing but drunken last night out in Southampton, moved home and... received my Topshop make-up order. I know that by now, absolutely everyone has blogged about this range. So I won't post my reviews etc. as well... just a simple NOTD :)

'Gone Fishing' by Topshop Make-Up

I wasn't too sure on this colour when I first applied it, but it's actually quite nice. This is just with one coat which is always good. I also tried my Matte top coat nail varnish on my index finger, but no matter how I try, I can't capture the effect on camera >:( My camera shucksss. Matte nail varnish is slightly weird, but in a good way. It just looks like nail varnish minus the gloss. Also, word has it that matte nail varnish chips less easily = yay! I quite like it!

XOXO

Gossip Girl - Again.

Another post about my beloved Gossip Girl! We're now just a week away from the Season Three finale. Where has the time gone?! I suddenly feel an urge to spend my summer rewatching all three seasons in preparation for, what the cast have led us to believe through interviews, an amazing and shocking Season Four. Leighton Meester (aka Blair Waldorf, of course) and Taylor Momsen ("Little J", Jenny Humphrey) have both dropped hints in interviews about the season finale and hints about next season. Cue sheer excitement!

Anyway, the purpose of this post is to review the many, many outfits of episode 21, "Ex-Husbands and Wives". Am I the only one who really, really misses the exquisite outfits from season one and two? Season three's costumes haven't really appealed to me... Sure, there have been one or two beauties, but overall, I'm slightly nostalgic for the classic, sometimes retro-feeling, outfits in season one, and the outfits described in the books. (Once again, I'm a massive geek and I love it!) So, enough of my rambling! I've tried to use minimal spoilerish images, in case any of you haven't seen it yet ^_^

Firstly, Jenny Humphrey in all of her leather, studded and extensioned-out glory. I know that the rocker Jenny has caused much controversy in the Gossip Girl lovers world; I personally am not a fan of her extensions... but this episode was a good episode for J's hair. The stylists curled it and had most of it tied back loosely, which suited her perfectly. This scene was one of my favourites: a perfect combination of Jenny in her leather jacket, typical angsty face, those perfect curls! and her old Brooklyn apartment bedroom, albeit with new decor.

And for the back of her hair, which was pretty damn gorgeous!

Blair Waldorf. Almost always appropriate. I adore her little dresses, as you all well know! Best served with a fake simpering smile (see below image ;D) At the start of the episode, Blair doesn't fail to serve well with a selection of adorable fitted numbers. I miss her hair circa season one though...

But then, the episode progresses to another fancy ball, typical Gossip Girl style, and there are some SERIOUS wardrobe malfunctions. Firstly pictured below is Jenny again. True, she does look somewhat classy with her pretty up-do, overly smoky make-up, necklace and Chanel-esque jacket - until you see the huge ballgown she's wearing that completely drowns her! C'mon wardrobe, where are all the little black numbers you reserve for Jenny?! Then, Serena. Oh Serena. You are utterly beautiful. Yes, Blake Lively has a body to die for. That gold foil dress however. Not even Blake/Serena can pull that off!

Then we have Blair. How did she go from being so well dressed, to being shoved into this frumpy number?! I usually love fancy parties in Gossip Girl for the fact that Blair is generally in a beautiful elegant dress with a modern Audrey Hepburn twist.

And finally, a cheeky picture of Chuck Bass and Nate Archibald. For no particular reason other than they both look their usual dapper selves throughout the episode ;D Yum!

You know you love me,

XOXO

Sleek 'Storm' Palette

At the weekend, I finally got my hands on a Sleek 'Storm' palette after reading hundreds of rave reviews about it. And I was in dire need of some nice, neutral eyeshadows, which this palette provides lots of!

Firstly, on about 90% of the blog reviews that I've read about Sleek palettes, the main thing mentioned is that it is extremely hard to find. I walked straight into my local Superdrug, and sitting pretty in the Sleek display were about 10 of these beauties! They also had the Original palette, the Chaos palette and another one that I can't currently remember the name of. Get yourself to Southampton, we have lots ;)

Once I had had a little play around with this though, I was extremely happy that I'd spent just under a fiver on this beauty. There is a whole range of neutral colours (both shimmery and matte - I love a nice bit of sparkle as much as the next girl, but matte is always good!) and they are all really pigmented. I just can't help but wish that the eyeshadows came with names :3 I love a nice quirky named eyeshadow! Yes... I am kind of sad...

As well as the neutral shades, there is a plum eyeshadow, perfect as a powder liner for lining under the eye, to make your eyes appear whiter, and also a really nice navy eyeshadow, which is amazing used on a smoky eye to make your eyes pop and add depth. These two really stood out to me; I love creating a smoky, smouldering eye.

RRP: £4.99

These are just a few snappys of my pose-aholic self, procrastinating while I was supposed to be packing. My days in this little room are well and truly numbered. I don't like this fact much.

XOXO

"I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles..."

Thank you SO much for giving me a record number of 275 new blog visitors yesterday! It was so nice to log in and see so many people flocking in :) If I could, I would send each and every one of you a hug and a cupcake to say "thank you"! Also, if possible, please spare just a minute of your time to comment below, and tell me what you want to see more of/next on my blog. I keep having mini blogger's block episodes. Not fun.

Goodbye First Year

So, I'm currently sat by the safety-restrained window in my Uni room, watching the seagulls milling around on the roof, 'admiring' the lame, cloudy sunset, and wondering where in the heck first year went. In just four days time, it'll all be over and I'll be back at home with my family. I can't quite believe it's all coming to an end already :( It feels like just yesterday I was fretting about having to leave my friends at home and move 100 miles away to live with people I'd never met and start a course that I wasn't sure I'd cope with.

But I've made it! Where oh where has the time gone?! I think Uni's made me a slightly smarter, lazier, more considerate and better cook of a person over the past eight months. It's surreal to think that I won't be returning to little Magellan 4A after next week, and I won't be able to complain about the loud cleaners/docks/seagulls/train/football stadium waking me from my precious sleep! It's even more surreal that in 2 years, I'll be moving out to face the wonderful world of work - eek!

pleaseletmestaylikethisforever.

Mischa Barton @ Dorothy Perkins

Mischa Barton. Actress. Regular celebrity in the ol' gossip magazine. Handbag designer.

I always doubted Mischa's designing skills, having not even seen her designs or collections, purely because I hardly ever have faith in celebrity 'spin-off' designers. However, I was forwarded a link on Facebook earlier by my friend, and I was pleasantly surprised by her collection for Dorothy Perkins!

Most of the bags, if not all, feature a signature Mischa Barton padlock, which is a really cute touch. And for a celebrity endorsed/designed handbag range, it is quite affordable, with prices starting at £30 and ranging to £85, many people are able to get their hands on these pieces!

These are some of my current favourites:

Hope you've all had sparkling weekends!

OOTD

Another mismatched post ^_^ Firstly: I'VE HANDED IN ALL OF MY UNI WORK! So so happy that it's all done and dusted and - eek! - I'm unofficially a second year University student now :O I can't believe how quickly this year's gone past! So in celebration of that, I went to eat sushi (nom!) and had a mooch around Superdrug.

I bought the GOSH Velvet Touch Eyeliner in Black Ink. I literally cannot find a decent pencil eyeliner anywhere! My Barry M ones are okay but they disappear in my waterline, no matter how much primer I use. I spent a good 15 minutes swatching different liners, and fell in love with the shadow liners at Bloom. Seriously. The taupe one is gorgeous! But £10 on a liner is a little steep for me at the moment!

GOSH Velvet Touch Eyeliner goes on so smoothly, I love it! I haven't yet worn it, but it is also waterproof, so I'm hoping the waterline situation gets solved soon. Also, my eyeliner loves to head South, giving me a nice black eye haha ;)

I was also tempted by the Sleek palettes after reading everyone's lovely blogs about the recent Sleek event. I couldn't pick which one to purchase first! Tonight I'm going to do my research and maybe I'll head out tomorrow to try one.

And finally, another OOTD for you to feast your eyes on! Blurred my face because I looked ugly :p

Top - Urban Outfitters - £12 in sale

Floral culotte shorts - Topshop - £28

Necklace - Vintage - £5

Tan plait skinny belt - Primark - £1

Hepwright's Vintage Clothing

As I wrote yesterday, today was the Go! Vintage Fashion & Homewares Market in Southampton. It wasn't all I expected, but I'm quite glad I went to have a look. I was also going to take some photographs but I didn't manage to, and there wasn't much to photograph anyway in the end.

The event was held in Soul Cellar, which is a bar. It isn't my usual kind of place to haunt, other than the occasional stand-up comedy evening that they host, and the venue is minature, so I had doubts about how much they would be able to display/sell there. When we got there, there was a table full of homewares, another of vintage jewellery, a shelf or so of handbags and shoes, and then three rails full of vintage clothing.

Nothing on the rails really appealed to me, so I scoured the jewellery table and ended up snapping these little lovelies:

Pearl and gold chain necklace - £5

Hat brooch - £5

I also saw an utterly beautiful beyond beautiful tan handbag, quite reminiscent of a Mulberry. I couldn't really justify buying yet another bag though, so I had to let it pass... :( All in all, still a pretty decent vintage event, you always have to delve in a vintage store for really good pieces!

And to finish, a sneaky OOTD! Self-timer because I don't have anyone to photograph me here in Uni halls...

Black cardigan - Primark - £7
Dusky pink sundress - Topshop - £16
Hairclip - DIY
Charm necklace - Urban Outfitters - 9p (yes, you read that correctly!)
Satchel shoulder bag - Luella - £125

XOXO

An Update

I'm currently suffering from a serious bout of Blogger's Block. I feel like I have nothing particularly interesting to write about, so I don't want to bore you :) I'm also nearing the end of my first year at Uni, how scary does that sound?! Everything is a blur of nights in with ice-cream and DVDs, hand-ins for final assignments and this ridiculous portfolio work that I'm still working on. I will hopefully be able to show you my final pieces once everything is handed in and finalised.

Recently my fashion obsession has been summery sundresses. I've always loved the idea of wearing sundresses, a floppy straw hat (yes really!) and gorgeous Kurt Geiger sandals in the summer, but owing to the temperamental British weather, I've never had the chance to, nor the motivation to go and find these said dresses.

(photos from leightonmeesterweb.com)

Last Thursday, I went to Cambridge to visit my friend for shopping, lunch and general girly catch-up times. Cambridge is a tiny bit amazing for shopping and pretty garden/park views, if you haven't been already, you should definitely take a trip there! Florence (my friend) and I ended up trawling the huge three-floor Topshop, where I bought this simple but gorgeous sundress:

I've worn this with a tan skinny plait belt, a few simple bracelets, statement ring and black T-bar ruffle sandals, to my sister's birthday meal and celebrations. I also think this would look nice with black accessories and black 'gladiator' heels! It's literally such a simple garment, you can dress it up, down, (and all around) and it would still work! Oooh and it was only £16 - bargainous!

On Friday, I then went shopping again, this time for a dress to wear to a wedding. I love weddings and a good ol' excuse to get dolled up. I ended up choosing a Blair Waldorf dress from the Miss Selfridge for Gossip Girl collection. I know, I know, I posted an entry full of negativity towards the collection, but just as I said, once I had tried on a Blair, both Serena's and a Jenny, I was completely in love with the dresses! At £45, the dress did not come cheap, but the waist cinches in so well, and the ruffles are SO Blair Waldorf. What else is better than feeling like you're at a wedding on the Upper East Side? ;)

(photo taken from missselfridge.com)

As well as these two purchases, I've been on the search for a pretty playsuit or three to add to my currently meagre collection. While on this almightly search, I came across these little gems on Boohoo.com. I've never been a big fan of this website. In fact, I'll admit I hadn't even looked on the site before; I much prefer to shop at Topshop, H&M, Urban Outfitters, and other brands that are well-known etc. But having seen the most adorable little playsuits on Boohoo.com, I must admit, I am a little bit converted! £16 for a playsuit is incredible!

What are your staples for this summer? Any 'hidden gems' of websites that we should all know about?

XOXO

Film: Dear John (2010)

So yesterday was another emotional experience at the cinema. For my sister's birthday, we decided to go to the cinema and see Dear John. From everyone's reviews, opinions, etc. of the film, I had already attempted to prepare myself for major spillage of tears and all that jazz. Unlike with Remember Me, which I was NOT prepared for haha!

Even so, this film was pretty amazing, and brought about a lot of tears! I hadn't read the book beforehand (I really should start doing that, I always prefer books to films!) so I wasn't sure what to expect from the storyline, but it was executed really well on film, cutting from location to location. It was so cute and romantic as well! Oh and I spent about 99.9% of the film feeling extremely jealous of Amanda Seyfried's beautifully curled hair.

The story basically tells of John and Savannah, a couple who fall in love by chance over two weeks, until John is drafted back to the army. They write adorable letters to each other over twelve months, but then things go wrong. I can't actually even express how cute this film was, although the ending was a little bit abrupt, and could have been approached in a different way. I still adore Amanda Seyfried, and Channing Tatum was so good in the film! I've never been a huge fan of him, but this may just have swayed me!

Has anyone else seen 'Dear John' yet? What were your thoughts on it?

The Carnaby Shopping Evening

Just a quick post to share a shopping event with you all :) I'm probably not the first to post about this, or the last, but it's such a good event, I don't want my readers to lose out! Perhaps I'll see some of you there?

(image taken from http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23732975-shaftesbury-tourist-lift.do)

I've never been to this event before, and am extremely tempted to go! 20% off MAC, Benefit, David & Goliath and American Apparel? YES PLEASE! However, my final day of official Uni is the 12th, and I am supposed to be moving home on the 13th... Do I or don't I?

XOXO
