Oufit- Aztec Print Crop Top & Black Midi Skirt

Oufit- Aztec Print Crop Top & Black Midi Skirt


Long time no see outfit posts! This is a few weeks back to be honest when it was sunny in London. Didn't get around to posting it until now because I was busy moving and working!



I just realised everything I am wearing here is from New Look, omg. That's a bit weird. Okay I like New Look's summer clothes.

What do you think of this outfit & what's your favourite summer look? :)

♥ Gold Chain Necklace & Peplum Top

New Look Gold Chain Necklace & Peplum Top



I had forgotten to show these pieces of clothing that I got when I met lovely Nicole from Nicole's Beauty & also got some beauty goodies like the Garnier Scrub, Purple La Colors lipstick & eyeshadows from the same brand, see this post here. Lately I had become a little obsessed with finding a chunky gold necklace like the one above, I really wanted the "plasticy" chunkier one. But after finding so many options in New Look I settled for this as it was a little different, with the tiger, I was about to say- I suppose it's a leopard or something. 

My blog was definitely never a fashion blog, nor was it intended to be but let's just say when I started blogging, I posted more outfits than beauty items. Only reason I don't is because I just don't shop a lot anymore. Can you believe that lol, I have to force myself to go shopping more.






About a year late on the peplum top trend but I thought this was a great every day top (and it was cheap). Same goes for the jeggings. 


What are your most recent fashion purchases? :)

♥ Mini Autumn Haul- Two Boots

I don't kow about you all, but I always struggle to find "autumn boots". So as soon as I find some that I think look decent, I'll just buy them straight away.

There is a shoe store in Sweden called "Skopunkten". To be honest I don't think I ever bought shoes there when I lived in Sweden, I used to think they had quite cheap looking kind of shoes. However, I wen't there when I was shopping with my little sister hoping I might find something okey since I knew they always ( I think) do a 3 for 2 offer. Thankfully I found these two boots and got my Lil sis another pair (don't worry guys she was given £100 to shop for anyway lol).


These two were about £30 each which I think is a really great price for what it is..

Which ones do you prefer?

♥ EOTD, FOTD & OOTD :)

Hi Everyone, just thought I'd let you know my camera (compact DSLR) has broken down and is sent to repair, in the meantime I will use my iPhone 4s camera, photobooth or an old compact camera.

Moving on lol, today was my bestie's 20th birthday and I went to her birthday dinner.

Even though this was just a quick look I really enjoyed doing a proper make up look, it's been way too long.  I used eyeshadows from my ELF palette and brushes from Real Techniques and Boots N7.


For my face I used NYR Organic Bronzer for contouring and their eyeshadow hibiscus as a high lighter for a nice glowing look. On my lips I am wearing my favourite Sleek Pout Paint.


Isn't it funny how one EOTD can look so different in different light, angles and cameras. This last Instagram pic is taken with my iPhone camera.


Last but not least, my outfit. I am wearing. This is not really news but I love chunky golden jewellery! These pieces are both from Portobello Market, at different times though.


 || Blazer- H&M || Dress- Bershka || Bag- Zara || Golden Collar Necklace- Portobello Market || Golden Chunky Bracelet- Portobello Market || Grey Lace Wedges- H&M (I think, they're not mine) ||

What do you think of this make up look and the outfit?

♥ Stripes and Tail Hem

As usual this London weather suddenly decided to go all summery again and I have really been enjoying it. This is an outfit from a few days ago. I just bought this jacket which is a dupe of the Zara jacket that I've been wanting to buy for about half a year. Stingy as I am I thought it was too expensive and I was over the moon when I discovered this dupe from Primark.




I forgot to take a big with my jacket and bag so this one was taken with my iPhone.
Loving my new jacket!

♥ Zara Shopping

Some of you might know Zara is my favourite clothing store. I started working there two months ago and since then I actually haven't bought anything from there. That was a conscious choice since I'd probably like to buy 80% of their clothes- I obviously can't, so I kind of stayed away and made sure I just bought stuff I really need.

I've never been a person to even smell the perfumes that clothing stores sell, but oh my! I've been spraying this in the fitting room and I'm in LOVE. It's Eau de toilette unfortunately (read my post on different perfumes here), but I feel that the scent lingers on quite well. It's £9.99 for 50 ml.

So I bought this one and didn't even realise it was on sale for £5.99I finally got around to buy this bag I've been wanting for soo long. Big bags are my favourites and  this is so cheap (£40)


The staff discount at Zara isn't that good but this was £40 in total for me which is a great deal :)

Do you like Zara? Have you tried their perfumes?

♥ Recent Shopping :) Make up+ Clothes

I just wanted to share my most recent buys with you. They were bought at four different occasions and they're all bought within a bit over a month.

These bright pink studded slippers from a shoe shop at Westfield Stratford which I believe is called Linzi. It's close to Forever21 at the entrence and they have tons of studded slippers, Lolita dupes and other "trendy" shoes. They were £25.


I bought these to wear for my graduation. Didn't want to spend a lot of money or dress up too much so I wanted to look for a pair of cheap, low heels- so I went to Primark. These were £12 I think.


We've all seen and bought these, sheer sleveless bright pink top from New Look. £15.


Floral print Bustier from New Look (Kids department, I believe), I can't remember the price.


These were bought at another time in my local hair shop, just two oils I did not already have, and hadn't  tried. Im sure you can see the price tags on them lol.


From the same hair shop I picked up this lip gloss, this really was just a spontaneous buy because I haven't bought a lip gloss in a long while, it was £1.5 and the ingredients were quite impressive with no Mineral oil but instead Jojoba Oil. 



These are my most recent buys from Monday. I don't use foundation, maybe once a month or less but I like to have one in case I feel I need it. So I decided to try this one from the natural brand UNE, there are no parabens, silicones or petrochemicals in these. Ingredients can be found on the website.£12, for this tiny tube.


My tea tree oil from Holland & Barett had run out and  I realised Superdrug randomly sells one essential oil, this one, for a really cheap price. I think it was £3 and I've never seen tea tree oil cheaper than £5 before.


I got obsessed with some vision I got into my head of baby pink see through glossy nail polish, I know Im crazy. Well so I had to get this.


I had to buy a watch for work since we're not allowed to carry a phone with us. I've been wanting this watch for long so I went and bought it. From Casio £35.





What do you think of my buys? :)
Do you have any of these?

♥ Blue Skirt :)

Hi Everyone! Today has been such a sunny day, if you're in London you know what I'm talking about :)

Hope the weather everywhere else was great too, this is actually my third outfit today. I always check the weather before I go to college but I thought it would be cloudy so I dressed in boots, shorts and a blazer. I was boiling! 

Then the weirdest and nastiest thing happened to me. I was in the University park/lawn with two of my friends. I felt something in my top, I look down- and on my chest is one of those big spiders with long legs! My reaction was to just kill it, IN my top. So yeah, let's just say I borrowed this white top off my friend.

Now to the point, I went to dinner with my boyfriend after college, so when I got home I swapped into this skirt because it was still hot.

Did anyone else experience this lovely summer weather today?

♥ Black & White and studded shorts

Here is an outfit I wore the other day! I love my new top but it's annoying the h*ll out of me since it's to tight over my chest. Everything else about the model is good except for that, and I chose a size 10 (Medium) so I don't think I should have that problem. Big minus.



Lol the way it "opens" over my chest, it looks terrible! I need to fix that asap.

♥ Usual & Unusual

Hello! I know a lot of you want to see more outfit posts, but it's so hard to find the time to take nice picture, or get someone else to do it.
But here is a little something I wore a couple of days ago



I also wanted to show this lipstick of mine which was my favourite before I bought the Sleek Pout Paint one (yes I know I always go on about that).

 This lipstick has such a strange colour, If you look close you can see that it kinda has a blue shimmer to it?


Anyway it's from NYC and I am sure it wasn't more than a couple of pounds.



Sorry about the moody face the misbehaving left collar.. :/

Now I am off to the hair shop and then Westfield with a friend I haven't seen it agen :)
