Hello bloggers!
Sorry I've been super quiet recently, I haven't been feeling to great and university work has just been piling up! I didn't know how hard second year was going to be, and I've only been back for 4 weeks now.

I was wondering what you'd all like me to post about next? I have something in mind, its the new Bleach London products that have just come out recently, or if you guys and gals have any suggestions of what you'd like me to post let me know and I see what I can do! :)

What's in my bag tag!

Hello everyone! I hope you have had a fantastic weekend! So i've decided to do the whats in my bag tag, because it looks like fun, and if i'm honest, I keep faaaaaaaaaaaar too much stuff in my bag! But then again the bag I use daily is a pretty big bag, so i've gotta fill it up!

Jeeezzz I wish my webcam was better but can't really complain! So heres my bag! Its pretty big and I use it daily for university.

Well the first item I see or items should I say are these:

I always have carried hand gel around with me where ever I go since when my grandad was in hospital (he's fine now don't ya worry!) So it's just a habit to use it a lot and I just feel it cleans better then just using soap and water after going to the toilet! Then next to it is my color boost lipstick! I take this EVERY WHERE with me, just in case I want to add a bit of colour to my lips whilst i'm out, but then if I just want to use a lip care product I have my carmex moisture plus too, because my lips get chapped easily in the winter and I hate having sore lips! So i've always got something on me that I can just shove on quickly! 

The next item is a pen. I always have a pen on me again its just a habit because of being at university so I always have one in my bag! Never know when you're gonna need a pen! Trust me, have you ever been in those situations and its just like ahhh damn, yep I use to get them all the time so I carry one with me all the time! 

Next is a hair brush, because I have a fringe and I hate it when its windy outside and it messes up your fringe, in fact my mum brought this hair brush for me because I use to ask to use her's all the time and she was fed up of going in and out of her bag for me to use it! It's only a tiny brush which is great so it doesn't take up as much room! 

Then there is my purse! Can't not have a purse in your bag, and this is a pretty big purse too, probably just up the most room in my bag, but then again at least its easy to find when I need it! This purse came from urban outfitters a while ago now, I use to have a pauls boutique one but the zip broke on it! Which i'm still sad about now because I loved that purse! But this one isn't too bad I guess, but it will never replace the pauls boutique one! 

Ahh then we come to my keys, if you're like me and a person that loses keys all the time, then you'll understand why I have all these key rings on them! And for a start it helps me find my keys easier in my bag if I just feel for the key rings! I have an S for my name, Robert Pattison, a voodoo doll! Jessie from Toy Story and then Harry Potter! 

The next item's are body spray and a foundation stick. I carry body spray around with me every where because i'm a dancer and I hate the thought of smelling bad! Like I think I have a phobia of it! So i'm constantly carrying around some kind of perfume or impulse, but impulse always seems to be the one that I find in my bag! The next is the new foundation stick that has just came out by maybelline. I only use this as some sort of conclealer for under my eye's when i'm looking a bit more worse for wear, normally after a night out and I have an 9am lecture the next day, and I also don't like carrying around a big make-up bag, so I just take this with me to help just touch up throughout the day! 

Next are my pink headphones, because I HATE getting the bus and not having music to listen too, i'm always listening to music whatever i'm doing, music is a rather big part of my life being a dancer and all, so i'm constantly listening to music, and it always just brightens up the day a bit more, and also when i'm feeling a bit antisocial I can just shove my headphones in and not listen to anyone. I also hate the feeling going out and knowing I don't have headphones on me so I always keep a pair in my bag, even if I do end up going out with more then just one pair! Then I also carry around soft mints, because you never know when you're gonna start feeling a bit peckish throughout a lecture or seminar. I know that when I eat these they just make me feel 10 times more hungry then before but I guess I just carry them around in case I eat something that I know is going to give me a smelly breath!

Ahhh my Gok Wann glasses, so that I am able to see the board at all times in lectures and seminars, also when i'm at home and driving I need them to be able to see where I am going, I just keep them in my bag because I know that if I didn't I definitely would forget them every time I leave the house! 

And last but not least is a mirror, because every girl needs a mirror in their bag! I hate when I don't because I then end up using my iphone camera as a mirror and everyone just looks at me as if i'm taking a selfie of myself on the bus! And also my bus pass! Because I can't go anywhere without that! Otherwise I wouldn't be going to university. 

Well I hope you enjoyed seeing all the random bits and bobs I keep in my bag, and maybe in the next few months i'll do an updated version to see if anything has changed, or if I keep the same old boring stuff in my bag!
Maybe you guys should do the tag and we can compare how much similar stuff we have in our bags! I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend and enjoy the rest of the week.

Let me know what you think I should do for my next blog post!

A Rather Late August Favourites!

Hello fellow bloggers!
This is my first ever favourites blog post, and I didn't really choose the best month to start one as I have sooo many favourites so this blog post is going to turn into an essay! So I hope you're ready to do some reading!

I'm first going to start off with my River Island cut out ankle boots. I've been looking around for a decent pair of cut out ankle boots for a while now but I didn't want to end up spending too much money on a pair, for example I looked at a pair in Office shoes, and they were around £80! I mean I fell in love with the Jeffery Campbell cut out boots with the gold buckle the minute I saw them! But seeing as they're around £175 I would of been to scared to wear them out! So then I came across these whilst looking online one day! I instantly fell in love, they were what I was looking for and for only £45! Still a bit pricey I know but definitely a difference from the Office ones! They're also super comfy, I took them to Amsterdam with me and walked for miles in them! If you are looking for a pair of cut out boots that are comfy I would definitely recommended these, even though they have a heel it feels as though you're just wearing a pair of creepers!

A perfume I got this month was Bombshell from Victoria Secret! I got this whilst in the airport coming back from Amsterdam, as we had a few hours to kill we decided to go around all the shops, and as soon as I sprayed this perfume I couldn't turn away, I just had to buy it. Although this is the body mist, it still smells exactly the same as the perfume itself, was just A LOT cheaper then the actual perfume in a bottle, and still lasts as long! I only paid around £20 for this! 

This item is definitely a must have if you enjoy having the beach matt look with your hair! I use to have a different one to this and i've wrote a blog post about this item before, but I must say it's sooo good, and also smells a lot better then my other salt spray too! I Also find with this got2be beach matt spray is that it doesn't make my hair feel greasy, which you think it would because after you spent the day on the beach in the wind sand and sea it makes your hair feel horrible! But this product doesn't! It's super good and gives your hair a lot of texture and nice little lose curls in your hair too. I find its best to spray this item in after you've dried your hair with a hairdryer and it's little a little bit wet because then you're able to style your hair more! It's also a lot cheaper then like the number one hair brands out there that have their own salt spray but I feel this is better then most of them! 

Ahhh now these shoes! They only came today in the post from ASOS, I got this because I saw CutiepieMarzia from youtube bought them in one of her recent hauls and they just looked super comfy! I'm not normally a heel kinda girl, but I feel I'll be able to wear this more often then I would wear heels. Because they're not too dressy and are definitely my style of shoe! They were also only £30 off ASOS and definitely worth it if you're not into heels but wanted to try them out for once, because of the think heel they have on them makes them easier to walk in! Also they're platform so the heel isn't as high as you think! Which definitely makes them easier to walk in!

Now this item, well what can I say! I've recently dyed my hair blonde over the summer and I've been penciling in my eyebrows for a while now, and as my hair has gotten lighter i've found it hard to find an eyebrow pencil that won't look silly with my hair colour! So whilst I was in boots a few weeks ago and looking at their make-up section they have I came across this beauty in the Soap and Glory section. It's not an eyebrow pencil I have used before, as one side is like a felt tip if you say, and the other side is a pencil, so you're able to use the brow tint to colour in your brows and then use the pencil for shaping the eyebrow! I use to be terrible at drawing my eyebrows on but since i've gotten this i've found it a lot more easier to blend and shape my eyebrows, and this one is specially for people with blonde hair, and my brows now don't look silly! 

The next item is perfume, I got this perfume from Bodyshop and it's called White Musk Libertine. I've had one similar to this before from Bodyshop and it was such a nice smelling perfume, wasn't too over powering but still left a nice scent on you and your clothes! It definitely has a nice musky smell to the perfume, I just can't describe how nice it smells! If you're looking to try out a new perfume I would recommended in you buying this! Its just soooo nice!

Ahh another recent buy is my Topshop tartan purple skirt. I uploaded a picture of this a couple of days ago and I happened to be able to wear this skirt this weekend! It's just soo nice and comfy and definitely a different kind of tartan to the usual red that you see which is what I LOVE about this skirt! Although at the moment i'm finding it hard to style with items, but I have a few tops and jumpers in mind that I think will go with this skirt!

I've currently really gotten into getting loads of different pattern and different looking legging's to the normal plain black legging's that I normally wear to just laze around the house in, or if i'm wearing a big oversized jumper and didn't want to put jeans on. So whilst I was on ASOS the other day I found these velvet black leggings. They're still black so it is more easier to style them with tops and jumpers but I thought the way the velvet gave them a different effect on the legging's made them more fun! They're also super comfy and I can't wait to start laying jumpers and t-shirts with these leggings! 

So I went to V festival this summer, I worked there actually and when I went out shopping for it I was looking for my normal hand gel I always get but then came across this Soap and Glory one! I'm not lying to you when I see this smells AMAZING!! Seriously all my friends that I camped with kept asking me to borrow it because they loved the smell! It's also nice to have a nice smelling hand gel to all the other normal hand gels out there, and because I bite the skin around my nails a lot (a bad habit I know) this doesn't seem to stink these cuts as much as my one I normally use, and also it just smells SOOOO good!

My next favourite is the Fuji instax mini 8, i've been thinking about buying one of these for a long time because when I went to V festival and Amsterdam this summer I took disposable camera's with me and once I got the pictures developed from these camera's I just loved how much better it was to have a physical copy then just having the pictures on your phone! I bought this camera in the box set they have on offer, where you buy the camera and then got 40 fuji mini films with the camera. Only when I looked into how much the film was to buy I found it was around £10-£12! Which I thought was pretty good! Anyway I love this camera and just being able to get the photo then and there, it's really easy to use and I can't wait to get back to university to use it with my housemates so then I can stick the pictures all over my wall! They are definitely worth buying if you prefer having a physical copy of something, and also they're just more fun to use then your Iphone because you don't know how the picture is going to come out! 

My next item I only bought last week. Its this super HUGE brown bag! I needed a new bag for university but didn't want to go around paying silly amounts for one! Because as you can tell i'm a student! So I went into this shop the other day with my Grandma that she always goes in, and a few weeks ago she bought a bag in there that she has fallen in love with now and this was when I first saw this bag. I didn't buy it then because I didn't think i'd be able to fill it all up! Anyway when I went home I was thinking to myself damn, I should of bought that bag today, it would of been sooo good for all my university stuff for when i'm back at uni! So the other day when I went into town again I was praying that they still had this bag in the shop, and luckily for me they did! So I automatically bought it and didn't think twice about it! They also had it in red but I thought the brown one was more practical and easier to put with clothing. Also may I just add it was meant to be £70, but I got it for £30! Bargain or what?! 

My last and final favourite for August is this cute white oversized jumper! Recently i've just been wanting jumpers which are quick and easily to throw on and aren't too thick, because if you're like me I don't like going out and getting SUPER warm in a pub or restaurant but it's still cold outside. Hate that greatly! So I was looking on ASOS Marketplace and found this cute little vintage jumper, and I didn't even pay that much for it either! Its nice and warm for a thin jumper and I think the flowers on the front of the jumper are really cute! If you're looking for nice vintage jumpers, ASOS Marketplace is definitely the place to go and look at! I'm always looking at their jumpers on there and its nice to see all the different variety of jumpers there is! And also no one will ever be able to get that jumper again! So that's always a bonus!  

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed reading my first ever monthly favourites! I know it was a bit long, maybe I should try doing a video or something next time, what do you guys think? If you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments and i'll try my best to reply quickly as I can :)

Topshop Lovin'

So today I was a bit more daring with what I tried on in Topshop! I automatically fell in love with this skirt! (It's soo cute isn't it?) I love the tartan pattern on this skirt and the colour is normally something I would not go for! But I thought I'd give it ago, I didn't go for the jumper though, thought it was far to girly for me! This skirt was £36.

Another skirt I also bought today was this one 

I've been trying to find a skirt for ages with one part of it longer at the front like the skorts they have out at the moment but I wanted it as a skirt instead. I LOVE this, it's also leather so can be worn casual or for if you was going out for a night on the town! And I do believe it was cheaper then what I thought it was going to be, only £32! I got the jumper as well, although I know it doesn't really go with the skirt! But it was super comfy and I love being able to start wearing jumpers again now that the weather is getting a bit colder! :) 

Much love! ❤
