Bad Blogger

Hi everyone,

I have yet again been on a what seems like long hiatus, I have recently moved house and everything is still up in the air. My life seems to be going at 100mph and I can't get my head straight and I don't get to find the time to actually sit down and blog. At the moment it's 11.48pm and I've decided to tell you all why I'm not blogging at the moment.
I really do appreciate everyone who has stuck by me whilst I haven't been posting and I promise that when I get my head screwed back on and get a proper routine going again, I will start getting back to my regular posting self!

So what's actually been happening with me?

Well I moved house around about three weeks ago, and it has been a complete change of lifestyle for me. My new house, is completely different from my old one, I have moved to a place which has a 40 minute drive to work, uni and my friends houses.
So...everything is a bit of a mess, I don't seem to have time to just sit and blog or pop into town to see the latest bits hitting the stores. Window shopping basically. I am working full time for the summer, until I get back to uni in October, which is nice, but I can't wait to jump into my third and final (SCARY) year. I have so many ideas floating around in my head which I can't wait to tell you all about, all I'm going to say now is it's very exciting. Well I think it is anyway.

Please bare with me as I try and find my feet in my new area and things will hopefully get back to business as soon as possible. Oh and as soon as I buy myself a computer chair.
Thank you all again!

Primark Autumn Winter collection

Has everyone seen this amazing collection from Primark? I could not believe my eyes when I recently saw the photos of the grudgey winter style file. 
I couldn't be more in love with certain pieces in the collection, which include leather look skirts, tartan, dark geometric shapes and lace. I can't actually pick my favourite piece, they are nearly all amazing. They seem to have gone in a more 'Topshop' direction with their styling and colour palette. 
Here are a few of my favourites from the look book, dark and sombre with a hint of glamour. 
What do you think? These are due to hit Primark in the next coming weeks, along with some amazing accessories.

Peel off Nails? - Review


When I saw this nail polish in John Lewis Oxford Street, I knew I had to get it, mainly for the colour. It is gorgeous, just the right kind of blue, it's called 'on the blink' and cost £6. The basic principle of this nail varnish is that you can change your nail varnish as quickly and as often as you change your underwear! 

The main reason I bought this was the colour, but I also wanted to know how well it peels off, sounds silly right? Well as I'm working full time I like to paint my nails often, however I also like them to stay on all day. So this nail polish has it's positives and also it's negatives, like most nail polishes.

The positives is that the colour is gorgeous, it dries relatively quickly and is nice and shiny. Another thing that could be considered a positive and/or a negative is that is comes off within hours of wearing it. This nail polish isn't great if you want to wear it all day without it starting to peel off, however it's great if you like to change your nail colour a lot but don't always have nail polish remover left/around. 
It would be great on holiday, as I don't know if it's just me but I don't like to take nail varnish remover as it may leak in my luggage. So this would be brilliant, as you could paint your nails on the plane, but take it off again later if you wanted to use a different colour. 
I found that 20 minutes into starting work it had already started to come away from my nail, which was very annoying as I didn't have the polish with me! (Rookie error)
I wouldn't recommend this nail polish if you like having the same nail colour for a few days, but other wise the colour is gorgeous and it is really easy to apply. So definitely go for it, the colours are amazing! I wish they did the colours in their usual range of Topshop nails (please Topshop, please!)

Has anyone else tried this range from Topshop, what did you think?

Summer Breeze - Outfit


I had a day off, so I thought I would enjoy this sunny bank holiday, unfortunately I don't have many summer clothes. I went instead with a simple white tee (Neppy Tee - Topshop), my Jamie jeans (Topshop - £46), a Primark tweed blazer (£14) and my cute black wedge/flatform sandals. 

I went into town to get my hair cut at Rush in Southampton, a hairdressers I really recommend! They added a treatment to my hair, which has made it super soft and it feels so light, along with taking some length off. I really love it. 



I took these photos outside in my garden because it was such a lovely day. 
The necklace I'm wearing is an old purchase from Topshop, one of my favourite. 


The wedges were £19.99 in New Look, and I love them, they are so cute and go with a lot of outfits. I have painted my nails with a Topshop 'Peel off nails' range, in On The Blink. Review coming by the end of the week. 
Hope you all enjoyed your bank holiday weekend!
