Another OOTD!

Hope everyone is well ! I have another OOTD, as I particuarly liked what I was wearing today, and I wanted to show off my new sneaks ;-) I love them so much ! They are so white and shiny, I swear any person that stands on them and/or scuffs them from now on will have hell to pay!

Top- Primark

Leggings- H&M

Nike Collected - Footlocker

Chain- Muse (but it was also in Topshop- same brand)

I am literally never going to be out of my new Nikes, they are so comfy and definitely my new favourite items for hanging out in :). My leggings were a bargain from H&M and were around the 12.99 mark- perfect if you get bored of the standard black/brown leggings, that might I add, I have a million pairs of!

I also went and got my ears pierced twice more yesterday ...ouch ! I don't care what anyone says, it still hurts! I also treat myself to a new cuff/chain earring from Topshop...

 

Pretty cute I think :)

Bella Sorella

I think I have a new obsession with Lydia from TOWIE's shop Bella Sorella. It has sooo many cute things to buy! Recently on Twitter they were advertising a signed Bella Sorella bag from either Lydia , Debbie or Arg and two cookies in the shape of either a dress, shoe or handbag. I had to get one as it was only going to cost me £12 .... bargain!

I got my parcel the other day and I was very impressed.....

I opted for the Lydia signed bag and the cookies in the shape of a dress and shoe :) how pretty are they!

Not only this, they have lots of other lovely little things to buy as well, I cant wait to order my plaque ....

I think I'm going to opt for the 'Dreams' plaque although I love them both :) They also have clothes that Lydia has worn/been seen in that are really nice ! These are £13 incl. P&P :)

OOTD

So I've never done one of these before but this is my outfit of the day :-) I had to do a presentation at uni so I thought this would be an appropriate outfit for the day :).

I think wet look leggings are one of my all time favourite items of clothing and I would live in them if I could. They keep you warm and go with more or less any outfit!

I changed my shoes for night time as I was going out for drinks afterwards and needed to dress it up a bit!

Top- Miss Selfridge

Wet look leggings- Miss Selfridge

Shoes- Topshop

Watch- Michael Kors 

Please excuse my limited amount of make up, I had a long day and my eye make up had worn off by this point ! *hand over face*

I love these shoes and this is the first time I had worn them, they are pretty new in Topshop called 'Sultry' and you can also get them in red (although its more of an orange colour to me) and black. They also have some other ones similar in nude and black called 'Supreme' and they really are what they say they are! They have a much bigger platform and are beautiful, however I am already really tall so I would just look like a giant!

Beautiful, but not practicle for me...I would definitley be risking breaking my neck in these! However if you need the extra inches and have mastered the perfect platform walk these could be the ones for you!

What do you think of these shoes?

My Hair Necessities

I'm one of them girls that is obsessed with big, long hair and I dislike my hair unless it fits this description! I am not very high maintenance with how I keep my hair but I do have a routine of how I try to keep my hair in good condition and looking BIG :) so here is how I do it...

I only wash my hair once or twice a week because it is quite coarse and thick. Therefore it's more dry than shiny, meaning it takes longer to get greasy. It's important whether you have greasy hair or not to try not to wash it everyday anyway, as the shampoo and conditioner take away all your hairs natural oils that keep it looking healthy.

Try to leave it for 2-3 days and use Batiste Dry Shampoo (its regularly on offer in Superdrug!) or a cheaper option- talcum powder, to the roots of your hair if you cant stand not washing it and wanting to keep it fresh.

I'm not a professional hair expert so I'm just going by what I've been told by professionals, and fortunately it seems to work. My favourite shampoo and conditioner is Clynol colour care, which  really doesn't fade your colour (if you have coloured hair) and keeps away split ends. I understand that Clynol isn't the cheapest of shampoo's so when I run out of my huge bottles and don't have time to get more before the next wash (like now!!) I use Aussie Hair shampoos (usually the colour mate ones) which leave my hair smelling gorgeous and feeling thick.

I tend to stay away from shampoos and conditioners like Tresemee and Herbal Essences as I have been told they are quite 'plasticy' and don't really improve the condition of your hair, just make it shiny. However if you already have amazing hair and just want the shine then I don't see a problem using these shampoos!

When styling my hair I am an avid roller girl ! I have two must have hair styling devices, which are the Remington Pearl Wand to curl and heated rollers (a god sent) which I try not to use all the time as I know it's bad for your hair, but half the time I cant resist!


The Remington Pearl Wand is just £25.49 at Boots and I love it. I've been using it for a good year now and it creates amazing curls whether you want them big or small and still keeps your hair silky and soft.

The heated rollers I use are just Boots own, I'm not too bothered about expensive brands because these work really well and I don't really think there would be much difference spending more money. Again, these are just £22.99. I chose these because you get lots of rollers and I have a lot of hair! But I'd love to get some bigger rollers in the future to try.

I find that heated rollers are best to use when your in a rush and you don't want to wash your hair, but it still needs styling. Otherwise, I just use standard velcro rollers after I have washed my hair which work just as well, however they work best after you have blow dried your hair :)

Then whack in the extensions and there you have it big hair all round !

Girl Crush: Mila Kunis

So Mila Kunis is the new face of Dior alongside co-star Natalie Portman (who I also love) and I think she looks amazing!

Mila showing off the new Dior Handbag Collection

Considering she claims herself as still a 't-shirt and jeans kind of girl' she still manages to look glam in the spotlight...

Sporting this gorgeous lilac dress by Elie Saab in 2011 at the Oscars 

 Gorgeous Emerald Vera Wang Number at The Golden Globe Awards in 2011

Another Elie Saab dress with a sexy split at The Black Swan New York Film Premier 2010

So the girl next door can work the glam as well, I think Dior made a pretty good choice with this one. I can't wait to see the rest of the Dior shots they got of her!

My Topshop Spring 2012 Must Haves!

Topshop have just got loads of their new spring collection in and I have picked out some of my favourite key pieces that I think will look amazing this season...

Aztec Dip Hem Skirt

£38

**This skirt will look gorgeous with a plain boob tube or a cream/white floaty top, tucked in with lots of gold bangles and statement necklace.

Pleat Ponte Pencil Shift Dress

£46

**This dress is so sophisticated and perfect for cocktails with the girls, I have tried this dress on in store, and I must admit it is really flattering and gives your figure a great shape. I think the camel colour is perfect for spring :)

 Animal Drop Hem Dress

£38

**I absolutely love this dress and I had to buy it as soon as I saw it! I think it will look amazing on a summer holiday as well as a night out with the girls. I wore mine with statement gold jewellery and looks awesome with platform ankle boots or gladiators.

***Here is a picture of my friend Lois over Christmas, how gorgeous does she look!

MOTO High Waisted Jamie Jeans

£40

**I LOVE these! I love it when shops bring out all their pastel coloured jeans and these are perfect for everyday with a casual tee.

Porcelain Flower Print Corset
£30

**I think these colours look amazing with shiny blonde hair and would look nice with white skinny jeans or if your feeling adventurous some high waisted white hot pants and wedges- perfect for a summer BBQ :)

Paramount Peeptoe Ankle Boots in Black

£40 SALE!!

**I can't believe I haven't bought these yet because they are AMAZING! They are in the premium range and have gone down to just £40. Winning. These would look really nice with the aztec skirt I have picked out.

Paragon Zip Front High Sandals

£90

**Again these shoes will go with the aztec dress as well as wet look leggings and look really classy on.

Stud Leopard Corset Dress by Dress Up Topshop

£150

**Although this dress is a bit more on the pricey side, it is a dress that will stand out from the crowd and something completely different. I love the mixture of styles and colours with the floaty white leopard print overlay and the statement black corset underneath. Beautiful.

Animal Border Vest

£20

**At just £20 this is a bargain from Topshop and will look gorgeous with wet look leggings or some leather pants. Then as soon summer comes around snap them up with some denim hot pants and voila another outfit.

There is loads more to choose from online but these are my faves :)

Hope you like!
