New handbag OOTD….

I'm not really a handbag person….I have a couple of handbags and just rotate between them depending on what I'm wearing. So when my handbags all started breaking on me it was time to replace them and I was seriously picky. It only took me a few months to decide on the perfect bag! 

I found this little beauty in Aldo and had been lusting after it for a while before I finally said 'yes! you're the one!'. 

Dress - Boohoo

Denim jacket - Sportsgirl (Australia)

Bag - Aldo

Watch - Asos

Necklace - Forever21

I'm even tempted to go back for the black version!

Everyday eye look featuring Rimmel Lash Accelerator mascara..

More often than not I find myself reaching for the liquid liner to do a winged-out cat eye look which, combined with big thick lashes, I've found myself rocking on a day to day basis. Having ran out of my favourite mascara (Benefit They're Real) I reached into my stash (and trust me it's a big one) and pulled out my next mascara victim; Rimmel Lash Accelerator. 

I thought the wand seemed a little plasticky at first so wasn't intending on being too impressed but the thin want and short bristles make for perfectly defined lashes from corner to corner, and makes bottom lash application a dream. It take a lot of coats (this took about four) to reach my desired lash thickness, and a lot of time and patience, but the results are so worth it.

I used the Shu Uemura eyelash curlers first, then applied multiple coats of the Lash Accelerator mascara. I used a wash of coral eyeshadow across the lid and liner the top lash line with the Topshop liquid liner, and used Soap & Glory smoulder kohl liner in the waterline. 

Has anyone else tried and loved this mascara?

Top five current lipsticks....

Here's my current top five, most worn and most loved lipsticks from over the past few weeks...

Left to right:

Maybelline colour sensational vivids in 910 Shocking Coral: More of a pink than a coral but lasts all day and is lovely and moisturising.

Revlon lip butter in 080 Strawberry Shortcake: moisturising, pink, glossy, easy to wear. What's not to be in love with??

Topshop Whimsical: a gorgeous peachy colour that, although slightly drying on the lips sometimes, has been matching by winged eyeliner look perfectly with a slick of gloss over the top. 

Maybelline colour sensational in 135 Make Me Pink: a bit of a lilac pink shade, this has been my favourite colour teamed with a brown smokey eye.

Maybelline colour sensational in 109 Rosy Dream: makes up the dream team with a dark smokey eye!

Clearly seem to be loving Maybelline lipsticks recently!

What lipsticks are everyone else loving right now?

It's all about me me me....

I am LOVING this weather so much....quick picture of my outfit today which does, of course, include some coral as I have too much of it in my life right now, it's be far my colour of the moment....

My cardigan was from my H&M haul last week, and the dress is Primark from ages ago that I hadn't got around to wearing yet. 

I popped back into Superdrug (again) today and in amongst all my usual brands I came across Me Me Me which, it seems, has had an overhaul and looks fab! The packaging is very Benefit-esque but it’s a fraction of the price and some of the products were great. I only picked up a couple of things from their range, to see what they were like really as I’d never really tried them before.

Firstly I picked up this lipstick which comes in a really cute little cardboard package, and is such a beautiful moisturising coral colour. It’s really strong and pigmented, is really long lasting and probably one of my favourite lipsticks I’ve ever bought (apart from Mac Saint Germain obv).

I also bought their blusher in coral, which is packaged exactly like Benefit blushers, and I have to say with a similar finish. Again, as with the benefit blushes, I don’t like the brush at all. It’s pointless, is rough on my skin and doesn’t give a very even finish, but other than that this blush is lovely. This is my first coral coloured blush I’ve ever tried and, due to my absolute obsession with all things coral at the moment, I’m not disappointed! I've got the coral blush on in my OOTD picture above. 

Bank Holiday Pt 1....

Has been just as I'd anticipated. Messy.

Thursday at work I wore my H&M shorts with my new Primark top and shoes. I absolutely had to get this top it was SO cute!

Thursday night was full of wine, vodka and lots of laughs with the girls:

(l-r) Steph had her new Forever 21 dress on with tan shoes from Evans and a belt borrowed from yours truly. Kellie had wedges from New Look (her dancing shoes apparently) and flowery shorts from H&M (short envy). Sarah had her new dress from Zara she bought in Birmingham, and her gorgeous mary jane heels from New Look. I wore my River Island flowery skirt and 3 year old River Island wooden heels that are still going strong today!

On Friday I went into Leicester shopping with mum and dad, and went out for dinner (I'll be honest with you, I only went for the free food!!) I did buy a new handbag but that's only because I didn't have a bag to go with the above outfit so I went straight to River Island to buy a new one (disappointingly didn't have one I liked so ended up in H&M for a HUGE tan number that I'm a bit in love with for the bargain of £25!!) 

Anyway I wore a maxi dress from Primark, tan sandals from New Look and a plaited tan belt that Mum had free on a pair of trousers!! I went a bit over board on bangles that are all a mixture of Primark and New Look, and my feather earings from Topshop. The sunglasses were from a random show in New York that I LOVE! Absolutely classic shape, will never date. 

On Friday night I went to a party with Steph but kept is casual with my new Jeggings from Zara, a white crop from Topshop, and my amazing coral wedges from New Look (thought I'd test drive them on a night where I didn't have to be up all night dancing, and I have to say they were a success!!)

Got it all again tonight as well....another night in HTC with Steph...now what to wear....

Sunshine makes the world go round....

What a beautiful day!! I got out last years Primark sun dress and had LOADS of complements on it!

Hair in a topknot just because it was a lot easier, but thought it worked well with the dress.

Treated myself to some new wedges (the sun makes me want to buy wedges don't know why?!) and some feather earings, all in my new fave colour: coral! Can't get enough of it atm, might even go paint my nails coral tonight actually! 

Shoes and earings are both New Look, £20 for the wedges and £3 for the earings. Hope this sunshine stays out so I get a chance to wear them soon!

Also, song of the day is, without a shadow of a doubt, this:

 Mainly because it is JUST how I feel right now, it was the perfect soundtrack for driving home with my shades on with the window down. Boys are shit. Fact.
