OOTD featuring Topshop and New Look

Since I bought my tennis skirt I've fallen in love with it. I thought I'd style it up for a night on the town first and love how it turned out. I'm glad I purchased it in white and it goes well with black accessories and creates great monochrome looks. 

September/October wishlist

1)Black ankle boots (£28)

It's that season again and even though I own a bunch of black boots, they are all quite high heeled, so I really want some smaller boots. These look perfect, the heel is only four inches so I assume they will be super comfortable.

2)Silver backpack (£19.99)

I am still loving the holographic trend and I think this bag is perfect. I am dying to treat myself when I have available funds so this will be my next purchase for sure. I think it'd pull together soo many outfits and it'll be handy for travelling back and forth on day trips.

3)Necklace coat hanger (£5.95)/Stand (£9.50)

Since I'm moving and I know I won't have too much storage space I really want some small items to hang my necklaces on. I found these cute pieces on amazon, so if I can't find any in my favourite home-ware store I'm sure these will work fine.

4)Daily chalk board (£40)

I saw this chalk board on Zoella's home-ware haul and just couldn't resist it. I am super organised and love making plans and notes so I think this would be a quirky way of doing so. It's a bit pricey but I might treat myself with my birthday money.

5)Mesh shift dress (£11.49)

You guys know how much I love mesh and I think the mesh panelling on this shift dress give it a really nice look. It's in the sale right now so hopefully I can give myself a treat when I get paid. I really need some basics for my wardrobe now the season's changing and think this would be a great staple.

6)Monochrome duster coat (£24.99)

It's time to go coat shopping and I'm always super picky with my coats. I really want a monochrome or plain jacket this time round. I still have my fur jacket and my blue boyfriend jacket so I'm hoping to get a duster coat to add to my collection. I'm going to Primark soon as they have such a lovely range.

7)Benefit they're real mascara (£19.50)

I purchased the eyeliner from this collection recently and am loving it. I will be reviewing it later on this month for you guys. Since the eyeliner works so well I thought I might try the mascara too.

8)Faux septum ring (£12)

I'm too much of a wimp to get my septum pierced and I'm not one for facial piercing these days but I think Lamoda's range of faux jewellery are wonderful. But pricey for me but I may have the chance to treat myself at some point.

9)Monochrome bag (£29.99)

I love monochrome items right now and I really want to add a bag to my collection. I currently have a bunch of clutches but wanted something larger for everyday use. I think this would be great for shopping or a evening out.

This wishlist is bigger than usual but since I'm moving I'm looking for both home-ware and clothing. I thought I'd make it both my September and October wishlist as I know I'm going to be poorer than usual with my move.

OTTD featuring River Island and New Look

I've been in Wales for the past week, hence my lack of blogging. But I'm back and I have a bunch of new outfit posts for you lovely lot. I'm sticking with outfits for the warmer weather for now and apparently we have a heat wave on the way so why not? I thought I'd start off with my favourite outfit, which I wore for a lovely date with my other half on Sunday. 

Tresemme Keratin Smooth Review

 Tresemme keratin smooth serum: £6.99 (Boots)

I thought I'd make a quick review on one of my favourite hair products. I am forever getting questions about my hair and I currently use La riche directions hair dye in shade rose red. Because I have slowly damaged my hair over the years, my hair gets super frizzy with lots of fly-aways. I've been trying to find a good product but have found products like frizz-ease to be absolute rubbish. Anyway I saw this product advertised on the TV and thought why not? I'm so happy I decided to try it because it actually works and has been a life saver. 

My Clockwork Castle Review

           Dainty Light bulb necklace: £4

Clockwork Key: £16

So I recently purchased these two beautiful necklaces from an independent store like my own. I having been eyeing up Kirsty's pieces after finding her shop on instagram. Her work is super original, and I haven't come across a similar shop creating pieces like those found on her store. I find many jewellery stores do have a similar range these days so it's nice to come across a unique shop. As you can tell by my necklace and the store name Kirsty creates many pieces using clock parts, as well as making varied handmade jewellery. 

OOTD featuring Nasty Gal

I purchased this lovely dress from Nicole at Vogue Mondays (link) and it couldn't be more perfect. Nicole is one of my favourite fashion bloggers and her style is impeccable so I follow her on depop to grab some bargains. Every girl needs a little black dress, and this has a stand out design. It's super simple to style so I threw on my cute pink heels and my go to clutch to add a pop of colour. 

Maybelline Colour Show Review

Maybelline colour show top coat - Boots (£3.99)

So I previously featured this nail design in my shellac post but I wanted to make a separate review. The nail art shown is super easy to create with Maybelline's new colour show range. The shade used is the street artist top coat in alley attitude, however they have a range of colours and top coats available. I really loved this design and kept topping up my shellac for weeks. 

The top coat consist of the blue and black shards so I thought I'd add the other products used. I topped up my shellac with Rimmel's nail polish (198 Azure) which was luckily a perfect match. Then I just added one coat of my colour show and finished off with Collection clear varnish. I love nail art and I'm always looking for quick and simple designs. I am a total novice when it comes to nail art so I usually get them done at a salon, so I'm super happy to have found Maybelline's new range. 

The varnish itself lasts ages, the shards stayed put rather well but I would recommend adding a top coat just in case. The only problem I had with the top coat was removing it. It was a task to get all the shards off and it needs a good buffer alongside nail varnish remover to get them to budge. Other than the removal I had no problems with the varnish and would highly recommend it. 

Once my nails regain strength and I can stop using shellac 24/7 I'm going to stock up on a bunch of Maybelline's top coats. It's going to end up as obsession I bet. All you nail fanatics reading should definitely add this product to your collection soon.

OOTD featuring Motel Rocks

I couldn't help purchasing a few pieces from the Motel Rocks sale last month including this dress. It's really simple to style and I love the reverse water fall print. The dress can be easily styled with black or white accessories but of course I went for white again. My wardrobe is being over-run with white recently. Considering I owned zero white items a few months ago its a huge change.
