My New Bag & Purse: Ted Baker

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to show you one of my most exciting purchases for a long time... I got a new bag! I am in love with every aspect of it, the colour, the size, the shape. It is my dream bag. I can't tell you how long I have been wanting a Ted Baker bag. I fell in love with a black and rose gold one but sadly they discontinued it.

I went into House of Fraser just to have a browse, and then I saw it THERE WAS A SALE! The Ted Baker bags were on sale and I was trying to decide between a black one and this one. I chose this one as the colour was just stunning and it would go with most of my outfits. Of course I had to look for a matching purse, I actually saw this purse on the flight duty free on the way back from holiday but luckily I waited until I got back as it was cheaper in store!

I think the bag was around £110.00, however I saw it reduced to £80 in store yesterday! The purse was around £50.00 I think but I can't seem to find them online, they were probably discontinuing them, hence they were in the sale. I am very happy with my new purchase and I am hoping this bag is going to last me a very long time!

Thank you for reading. Also side note, I can't believe I have reached 300 followers on Twitter! Thank you so much for the support, I love following bloggers so feel free to leave your twitter below so I can check it out!

What I Wore On My Holiday - Kos

Hey everyone,

I am writing this as I have just come back from a holiday in the beautiful Kos and I thought I would show you what I wore on some of the days. It was nice to get into summer clothes instead of being stuck in big jumpers like I am in the UK. No doubt I probably won't wear these again until I go on holiday next year!

White Crop Top - Topshop - (Similar)

Blue Patterned Shorts - Boohoo 

Sandels - Primark

Sunglasses - Primark

I wore this outfit on the first day as we were walking around a lot and discovering the hotel so I wanted to be super comfy!

Dress - Shein

Backpack - Primark

Sandels - Primark

I wore this outfit on an evening for dinner as there was a dress code (little did I know at the time it only applied to men) so I wanted to wear something a bit smarter but still keep cool. I am really impressed by this dress as I ordered it from Shein (an online company based in China) and the quality is really good! I do think you need to look at the reviews for the item of clothing before you buy, as it seems to be a bit hit and miss.

White Patterned Top - Boohoo
Bralette - Primark
Shorts - Primark
Flipflops - Primark

On this day we were mostly walking on the beach and we also rented some bikes to ride down to the town. I have to say these shorts probably weren't the best choice for bike riding, but hey it looked cute.

Pink Off The Shoulder Top - Boohoo 

Blue Jean Shorts - Boohoo 

Sandels - Primark

Backpack - Primark

On this day we went on an excursion, a tour of the island. We went all around the island and I wanted a cute outfit as I knew there was going to be lots of photo ops! Also I think this has to be my most favourite top that I wore, I just love the colour!

Thank you for reading! I would just like to do a shoutout to my boyfriend for taking these pictures and being very patient whilst doing so :')

Prom Get Ready With Me

Hey everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in ages but I've been really busy with exams, and now they are over I can get back to blogging regularly.  I have even been thinking of starting a YouTube channel! Let me know in the comments if that is something you would like to see from me :)

Now lets get on with the post...

This was for my sixth form prom and I have to say it was one of the best nights I have had in a long time, a meal and dancing with my friends! But to be truthful my favourite part of it all was definitely getting ready, and in this post I will show you the products I used.

Face:

I started off by priming my face with the Too Faced Primed and Poreless, this helped my makeup stay on all night despite me being really hot from all the dancing!

For foundation I used the Laura Mercier Silk Moisturizing Photo Edition, I used this to make my base flawless as I knew there would be a lot of photos taken. For my undereye concealer I used the Urban Decay Naked Skin which covered my dark circles really well but I found it clung to dry patches on my face so I used the Benefit Boi-ing concealer for any blemishes I had.

To set my concealer I baked with the Rimmel Match Perfection loose powder and used the banana shade from the Anastasia contour kit on the high points of my face. I then carved out my cheek bones and bronzed using the same contour kit from Anastasia, I love this kit as the variety of shades enables you to mix them to get your desired shade.

To highlight the tops of my cheek bones I used The Balm's Mary Lou-Maniser, I didn't use too much as I only wanted a subtle sheen to my face.

Eyes:

Next for eyes I wanted quite a dramatic look as it was a special occasion so I experimented and this is what I used.

Lid: Mac's Paint Pot in Painterly, a 'Luna' and 'Dawn' from the Makeup Revolution Iconic Pro palette and various other light silvery shades to make the shimmer more potent.

Crease: As a transition shade a used an eyeshadow by Mac in the shade 'Malt' and also below this but not on the lid the shade 'Stage' from the same Makeup Revolution Palette.

Outer corner: I used the shade 'Undone' from the Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics and then over the top and slightly on the lid the shade 'Primal'.

Inner Corner and Browbone; To highlight I used the shade 'Need' from the Makeup Revolution Palette.

Lower lash line: I used a mixture of 'Undone' and 'Primal' from the Naked 2 Basics.

Eyeliner: I used the L'oreal Superliner to create a small wing.

Lashes: For mascara I used the Rimmel lash accelerator and for false lashes I used the Eylure ones in 'Exaggerate 141'.

Lips:

For lips I kept it simple and opted for a dark red to contrast with my dress, I used the Primark lipliner in '9' (which I have heard is a good dupe for Mac's 'Whirl'). The lipstick I used was 'Brick-O-La' by Mac which stayed on really well and wore off to a stain by the end of the night.

The dress I wore is this lovely long grey one from ASOS which unfortunately sold out soon after I purchased it. I did have to get the dress taken up slightly as it was too long (it was from ASOS Tall) this enabled it to hang nicely just above my shoes so they were still visible.

My favourite part of my outfit by far was the shoes from Office, just look at how gorgeous they are. I did have to take them off after a while as they started to hurt my feet but pride is painful as they say!

The clutch was from New Look and I wore some Elegant Touch false nails in 'Hall of Mirrors' I just adore the finish on them, I think they gave a nice finishing touch to the outfit.

This is the final look, posing with my beautiful best friend Molly. If I had the choice I would definitely go back and do it all again!

Thank you for reading, let me know in the comments below if you had a prom this year and your favourite part of it!
