In The Navy

         

                                                                  Bag: Primark

                                                            Shoes: Dorothy Perkins 

Just thought I'd share two of my new favourite things at the minute, as you can probably guess I'm a bit fan of navy! Firstly I got this bag from Primark this is a navy and white zig zag print and I just fell in love with his as soon as I saw this! This can be a clutch bag or this comes with a strap inside that you can also use which I think will be perfect for summer. This is also quite big inside which is always a bonus and I picked this up for £10 I think it's a Bargin! 

I got these shoes from dorothy perkins these say there black but I think it's slightly a navy blue colour when put with ethier colour I think it looks that colour and these have a white base but it isn't very thick which I think is good I think these were around £22 but I managed to get them when they had 30% so I got them for around £16 which I think is such a good price as I think they look quite expensive! 

I'm loving navy at the minute, let me know what your loving.

The Tuck Shop

                                   

The Tuck Shop is a sweet shop based in Manchester selling American sweets and the good old Traditional sweets. They have recently launched there new website so I thought id talk you through the website.

I would recommend buying from this website (I'm not being payed or sponsored to say this) I  honestly think they have such a good selection of sweets available including my favourite american sweets: M&M's, Cheetos, Skittles and Twizzlers and my favourite Traditional sweets:  Pear Drops, Sour Cherries and Bon Bons.

The Tuck shop has a very simple and easy layout that is easy to navigate around, the menu system enables you to select the type of sweets you are looking for e.g. American or Traditional where you then are shown a number of different options within these categories such as Cereals, Hard sweets, Soft Sweets and Soda.

On the right hand side of the website there is then a simple navigation bar as shown above where you can login or create an account, checkout, view your basket, view your account, search the website and change your currency.  You are also able to pay via PayPal which is always a bonus. 

Overall I would recommend order from The Tuck Shop as there is a wide range of treats for everyone and can browse the website very easily.

Hangerworld Review

                       

 I was very kindly sent a couple of products to review by Hanger World Ltd. Hangerworld offer a wide range of different hangers including: space saving hangers, childrens hangers, garment covers, home storage and accessories. 

(Left to Right) 

Black & White Polka Padded Hangers 

These come in packs of 1,5 and 10 and start at £4.50. These hangers are satin fabric and even have a little black bow on them! I think they are super cute I love them!  These are perfect for hanging dresses!

Wood Tie & Scarf Organiser 

 This can be used for ties or scarves so obviously I used this for my scarves. I think this is great because I can never find somewhere to store all my scarves! This has six hooks that are able to spin around allowing easy access. This is £5.65

Space Saving Vevlet Clothes Hanger

This is a black velvet hanger that is usually used for suits as you are able to put tie, pants and jacket on this hanger so is perfect for men or even womens suits. This is also space saving so is perfect for those who haven't got a lot of storage space. 

Solid Beechwood Clip Hanger

This is a simple hanger for skirts and trousers, this has adjustable clips making it perfect for anyone! This comes in packs of 1,10,20,30, 50 and 100 ranging from £2.95- £84.95.

Solid Beechwood Top Hanger

This hanger is a basic hanger to have but this has a non slip grip on it meaning this is good for that one item that will never stay on the hanger! These come in packs of 1, 10 or 20 and start from £2.50

Tanworx

       

I was sent this tanning foam by the lovely Mono Skincare! 

I was sent this in Fair to Medium which is the perfect colour that looks very natural and doesn't look orange at all! I applied this with a tanning mit which helps to keep this even and the brown foam makes this very easy to apply as it's very easy to see where the tan is being applied, so one of the best things about this tan is it's easy application. 

This tan is also very long lasting and dosent rub off at all, so this is perfect for those who don't want to keep re-applying the tan. Also this dries very quickly so is good for those who are very impatient like me! 

Overall I think this tan is so good! I would recommend this to anyone. This is avaliable in two colours fair to medium and dark to very dark. Tanworx also have a number of other tanning products avaliable. 

This is avlaiable to buy from Monu Skincare :

Veronica's Snack

        

Veronica Snacks is a company based in Ireland. They aim to provide healthy snacks that are still super tasty! These are now avaloable in a number of Tesco stores, so you should be able to pick them up. 

They have a number of different flavour avaliable including: sour cream & herb onion, Barbecue, Tomato & Spanish Paprika, Roat Garlic and Mixed Herb these are all organic and gluten free.

I got the Roast Tomato& Spanish Paprika and the Sour Cream & Herb Onion I personally prefer the Sour Cream Herb & Onion as these are a light flavour where as the others are a spicier flavour and tomato definitely stands out. Both of these are lovely flavours and i would recommend these for a light tasty snack.

Ted Baker Nails

I was sent these lovely nail varnishes, so I thought Id review them as I think they are amazing. 

This duo called Ted's Sweet Shoppe has one sparkly polish called Champagne Sundays and one bright pinky colour called Sweet On You. Personally I love these polishes and think they are perfect for spring/ summer. 

Although I used two coats on this application, these are fine with just one coat. These also last a while and aren't easily chipped. 

Personally I like these used together as they make the perfect, cute combo.These are retailed at around £8.50 which I think is reasonable for two polishes. 

Let me know what you think and what your favorite spring/ summer polishes are.

Sheinside

She Inside Must Haves!

All clothes: Sheinside

Sheinside have always been a very controversial place to order from with bloggers. After my recent experience with Sheinside i would recommend them to anyone! 

Here is a collection of some of my favorite items at the moment, firstly is the mint coat. These have been very popular with bloggers and this is a fraction of the price compared to other shops, this is only £27 and it would be perfect for spring.

These tops are so cute to wear with leggings, i would say more for autumn winter but these would also work with leggings throughout spring.

This coral blouse is perfect for spring i would love to have this addition to my wardrobe, especially for as little as £12, this really is a bargain and would be perfect to wear with jeans throughout spring. 

The coco made me do it is a very popular top and is one of those items which you dont really want to spend alot on as alot of people wouldn't wear this after its "gone out of fashion" and for as little as £11 you wouldn't feel like your wasting your money. Personally id love this to throw on with leggings or jeans.

Elegant Touch- rapid dry for nails

Elegant Touch- Envy Wraps

Ciate- Base Coat

Ciate- Top Coat

This elegant touch rapid dry spray for nail is one of the best things ive ever bought, if your impatient like me then this will be your new best friend! This literally leaves your nails touch dry in about one minute and it doesn't smell too bad either.

I found these elegant touch nail wraps on sale in boots for 75p! So i thought id give these a go, I love the pattern and colour of these and I think they will be perfect in summer/spring.

I love ciate nail varnishes so i thought it was about time I try these top and base coats, so far ive been really enjoying using them. The top coat really does make your nails alot shiny and glossier and defintley makes your nail polish last a lot longer. 

Aloe Lips

Aloe lips

I was sent this by the lovely Laura Pinks at laurapinks.myforever.biz, they sell a range of healthy natural products, so I would definitely check them out.

This lip balm promised to be a moisturising lip balm which it definitely was, this was so soft on the lips! It also promises to soothe chipped and dry lips, it didn't fail to do this. I was suffering from dry lips at the time and this definitely helped them.

I would highly recommend these and I can't wait to try more of their products

Office Haul

                                                        

    Shoes: Office

These are the eavesdrop shoes, I purchased these before christmas I payed £48 for the black and got the burgendy in the sale for £26. I originally thought £48 was quite expensive for a flat pair of black shoes, but these have quite a thick sole and I can tell is going to last me a while! I'm so glad I bought these, they look so cute with skirts and dresses but also win jeans, I can imagine that some of the leather will come off but so far these haven't scratched. These are so so comfortable and I would recommend these. The burgendy ones are a sude material, these are my favourites as I love the colour! The only problem about these is that some of the suede has started to scratch and come off so I think ill have to get a suede cleaner. But overall I would definitely recommend these shoes! 

She inside haul

All items: she inside

I was very atphensive when ordering from sheinside, I always seem to see bad review and people bad experiences. But I took the plunge and order anyway and I honestly don't know why there's so many bad complaints, I ordered and my order arrived within 10 days of being dispatched. 

Firstly I ordered this dress, I order a size small and I would say this is about a size 6/8 so about the right size and I love this dress it looks exactly the same as it did online. I love how this dress has long selves as I think this makes this dress look a lot nicer, this dress has a almost textured feel to it because of the pattern in this dress. 

Then we ordered these tops/ blouses in cream and black. These only come in one size and this would suit a range of sizes depending on whether you wanted a oversized or fitted look. This is very see brought so would look perfect with a little top underneath and even with shorts in the summer. Personally I like the black best because it suits a paler skin tone more than the cream.

Finally i got this necklace, I love this I think it would be perfect when wearing any plain outfits. 

Overall I would recommend she inside all I would say is don't expect the quality to be perfect you get what you pay for. 

Lip Care Collection

   

                                                  

This is my collection of lip balms, these are all my favorite ones.

Lush Santa Scrub- I purchased this at Christmas, I've always wanted to try one of the lip scrubs from lush but I didn't seem to like any of the other flavors. These scrubs are definitely worth a purchase, they really help to keep your lips feeling refreshed and unlike anything else I've tried really does scrub your lips.

Fruity Lip balm- this is passion fruit, I think I got this from Avon a while ago and I tend not to use this one anymore as I find I have more that keep my lips a lot softer, although this does smell lovely.

Body Shop- this lip balm is mango flavored, this is one of favorites and one I will be definitely re purchasing. It's one of the best smelling, it smells amazing! It also does leave your lips feeling very soft. 

Fereza- I bought this in the airport in Spain last year I love these they come in loads of different flavor and smells, the smells are amazing in these, they can be overpowering but this is my overall favorite smelling lip balm. 

Hot lips- I've had this one for a while and this is is strawberry flavored, this isn't a very strong scent but this can feel quite greasy on your lips sometimes because of it consistency.  

Vaseline- I don't think I need to say anything about this but this one is my favorite Vaseline there is.

Jelly Bean- this is the tangerine flavored, I know I've said this about them all but this really does smell amazing! It isn't very soft and doesn't really keep your lips soft but does smell amazing!

Balmi- this is definitely one of my favorite lips balms this is the strawberry flavored on and this is so so soft and I think is my overall favorite of them all as it leave your lips so soft!

I would recommend out of all of these balmi and the lush lip scrub or if your going away definitely keep a look out for the Fereza lip balm! 

February Favourites

Nail varnish: Ciate

Red Heart: John Lewis 

This month, I have definitely been loving these two items! 

Firstly the nail varnish, this is called miss mistletoe this came in my Ciate advent calendar and is sequins in the pot. This is red and gold sequins that gives your nails a really cute look and is perfect for putting on one nail on each hand. Usually you have to apply a nail colour first then pour the sequins on the nail and add a top coat over the nail. 

Secondly is this heart, I love getting all different hearts for my doors and to hang around my room, they add colour to any room and make any room look really cute! As my room is cream and red I thought that this would look perfect. John lewis do a range of different hearts and this one is almost like lots of little bells attached to it. The only thing about this one in particular is that he colour can tend to come off quite easily. 

Canvas Review

                                   

Recently I was given the chance to get a personalized canvas made by the lovely canvasdesignuk, I chose this picture of my and sister when we were younger because it's one of my favorites and really remind me of the typical us when we were younger! 

Canvas DesignUK if a really lovely company and are very easy to work with, they do a range of different sizes of canvas which all vary in price but are all very reasonable, I will leave all the contact details below. I am very very happy with the canvas I have received I absolutely love it and it is of really high quality which is hard to find with some companies! The canvas also arrive very fast which I didn't expect! I would highly recommend using this company and I will definitely be purchasing more canvases.

Favourite Necklaces

Left: Unamed Shop
Right: Primark

These are my all time favorite two statement necklaces, the first one on the left is exactly the same as the Zara Necklace only i didn't pay the same i only paid £10 for this and its the exact same! I got this in a shop near me so I don't know if anyone will be able to get hold of it, but if you wanted I could pick one up for you and transfer payment via Paypal because i know how cheap this is compared to the Zara necklace. 
The second necklace was £4 from Primark last summer! I love this necklace as this can make any outfit look smarter and more dressy.I also love this because usually with Primark everyone has it but this only seemed to be in shops for a week so I very rarely see anyone wearing this which is a  bonus.I wear these necklaces a lot and tend to wear these with plain t-shirts to make them stand out. 
Let me know if you would like me to get a necklaces for you and let me know what your favorite necklaces are!

Bargain Boots

Boots: Newlook

I've been wanting a new pair of boots for a while now and I was in the new look on Sunday and spotted these, I loved  these straight away and they soon where mine!

 These boots were £27.99 and they had a special offer with £10 off making them £17.99 and with my student discount I got these for £16, which I think is a bargain!

I think these boots come up quite big as i had to get a smaller size. The leather on these boots is very soft and they seem to be very comfortable and are definitely great value for money.

Nail Varnish Storage

Storage: Ikea

I recently purchased these from Ikea, i saw these and thought they would be perfect for my room, these come in black and white and they also come in two different lengths, this is the smallest length as the longer one is a lot bigger.  I simply have two rows of nail varnish lined up. I put all my nicest and most worn at the front so i don't have to root at the back, this is the only thing i would say about these is you have two rows its hard to see the ones at the back. I  have put this above my dressing table and I plan on getting another one of these and putting it above this one as i still have some nail varnishes left and I think it would look better with more than one of these.
Let me know if you would like the name of any of the nail varnishes...

Models Own

I think like every other blogger i took advantage of the half price sale at Models Own, I bought six new Nail Varnish's. Firstly i purchased a navy blue called In The Navy as i have been after one for a while and there harder to find than you think, this is the only one i have tried out so far and it a lovely colour and lasts for a while but I would use a top coat. The next one is RedRedWine this is a dark burgundy colour so perfect for winter, the next one is called PurpleGrey and this is one of my favorites this is a gorgeous colour perfect for winter and autumn. Next is one of the new HyperGel colours this is called Naked Glow this one reminds me of my lychee gel from BarryM which i used so much throughout last spring so i thought id try this out they are very similar in colour but this one seems to be a thicker consistency. The next is called Strawberry Tart this is from the scented range and it seems lovely, cant wait to try this one out. Finally is Apple Pie, this one is also from the scented range and ive wanted to try this after seeing so many bloggers and yotubers raving about this last year so i definitely cant wait to use this one.

Let me know if you have took advantage of there sale.

Swatch Watch

Watch: Swatch

I bought this watch two years ago from the swatch shop, for around £30.

These come in a number of different colours, such as: Red, White, Turquoise and Mint you then also buy different watch straps which you are able to switch with your strap, ive tried to swap over my straps and this was difficult but you can take it into one of their stores and they are happy to switch it over for you.
Personally i think this watch because this is my favorite colour and i like the way the numbers stand out and is easy to see the number whereas this can be difficult on some watches.

I would definitely recommend this watches after having this for two years it is still in perfect condition with barley any scratches

My Two January Favourites 

Necklace: Topshop

Camera: Cannon Ixus

These have definitely been my two favourites of this month, this camera is very popular with youtubers as alot use this as this as there "Vloging" camera. Personally I use this for taking photos, I feel like this camera gives a very clear and crisp still image. This has a 12x zoom which i would say is also another great feature about this camera,  This camera is also very compact, it's very small and isnt very heavy so is perfect for taking out and about! I would recommend this camera to anyone whether it be for youtube or for still images. 

After wanting this necklace for a while i spotted this in the Topshop sale for half price for just £8 from £16 just before Christmas and ive been wearing it non stop since. Its perfect with any outfit.

Let me know your January favourites! x

Body Shop Moisturizers 

After looking for scent free moisturizer for a while, I came across this whilst shopping online at Body Shop, reading this product information this looked really good and seemed to focus on dry skin, which i have. I specifically used to get dry patches around my eyes alot. I  then read the customer reviews and they all seemed positive and said that it helped eliminate dry skin.

So when i came across a 50% off voucher code, i though id try these out, they are normally priced at £10 for the day cream and £11 for the night cream and after using this for about 2 months i would definitely recommend this to anyone who suffers from dry skin or sensitive skin as this is free from any scents, after using this I no longer have dry patches around my eyes and this leaves my skin feeling fresh and soft.

Let me know if you have tried any good moisturizers for dry and sensitive skin. 

Joules Fantastic Fizzes

Joules Fantastic Fizzes Whilst Shopping in Boots sale i spotted these on sale for £3,  although I hadn't seen any reviews before purchasing these seemed a very reasonable price so i thought i would try them out but I'm so glad i did purchase these, although i haven't used these yet the reviews look very good all stating that these smell amazing, so i cant wait to try these. 
There unique design makes these bath fizzes stand out, this comes with four 75g bath fizzes two pink bath fizzes and two blue. These are beautifully designed as they are all individually wrapped in soft tissue paper with the unique Joules prints making these perfect to give as a gift, these are also perfect as you can give one bath fizz as a small gift.

I will write a review of these once these have been tried but so far i cant fault these they come beautifully packed and were so reasonably priced. Let me know what your favorite bath bomb or fizzes are...

Spring/ Summer Outfit
Top: Newlook
Jeans: Topshop


This is my first fashion post on here, i will start blogging every week with different fashion, decor and beauty ideas for you all. Here is one of my all time favorite outfits, this takes me through spring every year. The perfect combination of light coloured high waited jeans from Topshop which take me through every spring as there perfect with bright coloured tees, this is paired with a white tee that i tuck in from newlook, this adds a different texture to this outfit.
