Hello all, it has been some time since I last did a travel post so I thought I would just include some of the places I would love to visit. I have been fortunate enough to go abroad every year since the age of about 3 therefore I caught the travelling bug very young. 

Hopefully within the next 5 years I can cross a lot of these out and add new ones. These are probably the 20 places that I would love to visit at this moment for all different reasons. At the end of the summer the one I will be able to cross of is Italy and I'm super excited to go there as its the one place in Europe I have dreamt of going for so long. 

I think out of all of these the two places I would love to visit the most are Japan and Australia. I have family in Australia and for so many years whist I was growing up it was always that one place I wanted to live. From what my family have told me Australia is an extraordinary country and I can't wait for the chance to visit. Alongside that Japan is also a place where I have wanted to go to for ages I have heard so many talk about how amazing it is and it has made me want to go so much more. 

Where are some of the places you would love to visit? Let me know. 

March Beauty Wishlist

Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow - £49
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick - £23
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat - Pillowtalk - £16
Laura Mercier - Tinted Moisturer - £34
MAC - Pro Conceal and Correct Palette - £35
Prep & Prime Highlighter - £18.50
Charlotte Tilbury - The Fallen Angel Luxury Eyeshadow Palette - £45
By Terry Ombre Blackstar - Misty Rock - £29
NARS - All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation - £32

Going through my blog I realised I hadn't done a beauty wishlist in quite some time. In a dream world I would be able to afford all of these however in the student budget world I can probably afford one... well a girl can dream. 

This beauty wishlist seems to have a Charlotte Tilbury theme running right the way through it. I'm so desperate to try it because I currently have nothing and so many people have mentioned how amazing it is. I think if I buy anything from it right now it would have to be the lip cheat as I currently can't afford a lot more. (I'm going back to New York in June and I all my money is going towards that.) The one I want to try more than anything is the Filmstar Bronze and Glow but I can't quite bring myself to pay that much for a bronze and highlight considering the amount of bronzers I already own. 

Another one that I have been after for ages is the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturer, I'm hopefully going to buy it when I'm in New York. I have never really been a fan of Tinted Moisturer but my skin is pretty clear right now and I think it will be great for when I go to Italy in the summer.

Right now I'm trying not to buy any MAC products because I currently have quite a few although these are two products I have heard so much about and I'm dying to try them out. The Pro Conceal and Correct Palette is one that I have heard so much about, although I'm not sure I can justify the £35. Although if I got it I know I wouldn't run out of concealer for quite some time. The other MAC product is something that I heard from Tanya Burr and at £18.50 I think I might pick this up sometime this month. I love the fact that this can be used as a concealer and highlighter, multi use products are my favourite. 

By Terry Ombre Blackstar is another one I have seen so many people talk about but again the price is pretty steep for an eyeshadow stick. Although I think these must be worth the hype because I have seen people with four or five of them. Finally I couldn't end the wishlist without NARS' new foundation. I was tempted to pick between this one and NARS Sheer Glow. I have never tried a NARS foundation and I'm really eager to try this one out, I've heard a lot of good reviews on this foundation especially from people who have similar skin-type to me. 

What is on your beauty wishlist? 

Beauty Trends 2014

2014 is drawing to an end so here is a round up of some of the beauty trends that made their mark throughout 2014. 

1. That Kylie Jenner Lip.

There is no doubt that this was the number one beauty trend of 2014. I think nearly every girl in the beauty blogging world was trying to find their dupe and overdrawing their lips to somewhat look like Kylie Jenner. When Kim Kardashian let Sam & Nic in on Kylie's famous lip the M.A.C website sold out almost immediately. While I have Kylie's Soar lipliner I still haven't been about to get my hands on Whirl. I have attempted to overdraw my lips but I think most of us have come to the conclusion that there is no way that we were going to look like the infamous Jenner youngster without looking like a duck. I think we'll leave the overdrawing to Kylie.

2. The long bob. 

This is the most sought after hairstyle of 2014. So many of us have been cutting our hair to just about shoulder length. The best thing about this hairstyle is that it is still long enough to make us look feminine yet not having to do too much to maintain the hairstyle. Alongside us bloggers the world of celebrities have also been after this hairstyle this year with people from Beyonce to Scarlett Johansson taking the chop. 

3. That contour. 

Another Kardashian trend is getting that contour spot on. Kim Kardashian is probably the most famous of the Kardashian clan for her contour and its not hard to understand why. There has been numerous videos of how to highlight and contour like Kim. She is the ultimate person for getting them cheekbones spot on. Judging by how much effort her make up artists put in its not hard to understand why. Maybe by the end of 2015 we'll be as good as her. 

4. The Cara Delevingne Brows

For the past year we have been drawing on our brows to make them more defined and give ourselves the HD brows. However Cara Delevingne started this trend in 2013 although it didn't officially take over till 2014. Gone of the days of the non existent brows its now all about the filled in big brows. This is one trend I'm certainly onboard with. I've always had quite big brows so now I don't have to worry about looking like the odd one out. 

5. A Cat Flick Eyeliner

The cat flick eyeliner is one that Alexa Chung is known for and its easy to see why, her eyeliner always looks the exact same and is always on point. Throughout the year we have been making our way through; liquid, gel and pencil eyeliner to get that cat flick on point as much as Alexa has hers. The cat flick is great because its one that is suitable for any eye shape. The cat flick can be bold or simple perfect for any look. 

6. The Coral Lip

Throughout the summer we were loving that coral/orange bright lip. Surprisingly there was a orange that went with every skin tone. We were ditching the nudes and red's and going for something a little bit different. It started at the Spring 2014 Fashion Week with everyone on the runway sporting it. It then left the runway and hit the high street and eventually hitting the majority of people's make up bags. 

7. Natural make up 

2014 was the year of the 'no makeup, makeup look.' Gone of the days of the full heavy face of makeup now it is all about the natural look. A light base and very little eye makeup can make someone look fresher faced and younger. I see this trend heading towards 2015 as well. 

Will any of these trends continue throughout 2015? 

My Christmas Wishlist

Ysl Black Opium - The Perfume Shop
Black Brooklyn NYC jumper dress - River Island
The Hunger Student Cookbook- Amazon
Coat in a wool blend - H&M
Naughty Stretch Thigh High Boot - Office
Dr Martens 3 Eyelet Shoe - Office
Purple Fluffy Knitted Tunic Jumper - River Island
 Rose Golden Luxury Set - Zoeva

Lorac Pro Palette - Nordstorm

Now its December I feel as though its an apporiate time to write down my Christmas Wishlist. This list seems to have a winter theme running right the way through it, the reason for that is because i'm spending New Year in New York, eeeek. Therefore I needed a few more winter essentials that my pay  packet wouldn't quite stretch to. Along with my winter essentials I have thrown in a few things I have been lusting over in the beauty world. I know what you are wondering... why is there a cook book, its kind of a joke I go to university next year and I cannot cook therefore (hopefully it might help me.) Whats on your wishlist this year?

That Beauty Christmas Wishlist

No clue what you want for Christmas? Here are my top beauty favourites for Christmas. 

1) Nars Virtual Domination Cheek Palette -  £45. This cheek palette includes two limited edition blushes 'Sex Fantasy' and 'Final Cut' while also including the much loved 'Deep Throat' blush. Along with that it also has the 'Miss Liberty' highlighting blush and Nars most loved 'Laguna' bronzer. If you bought each of these products separately it would cost you a whooping £117. 

2) Rose Golden Luxury Set - £55. I think these might be the most stunning set of brushes I have ever laid my eyes on. The eight most essential brushes you will need to make your make up look amazing. It includes the well known brushes such as the '102 Silk Finish', '127 Luxe Sheer Cheek' and the '227 Soft Definer'. Separately these would cost you £68 saving yourself £13! 

3) M.A.C Keepsakes : Face - £42. These come in either a natural face palette or a smoky face palette. They each include three eye shadows, one Iridescent Pressed Powder, a Cream Colour Base and two Lipsticks. These are so handy for travelling because they are so compact with all of your needs. The natural contains the lip colours 'Sass' and 'Eloquence' while the smoky face includes 'Evening Posh' and 'Petulance'.

4) Lorac Pro Palette  - £28.44. This palette has just become a lot easy to grab hold of here in the UK due to Nordstrom delivering here just in time for Christmas. This palette is incredibly similar to the Naked ones however if you're more of a matte kinda girl this is probably more for you. It contains eight matte eyeshadows and eight shimmer eyeshadows which is in comparison to the three matte eyeshadows in the Naked palettes.

5) Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot  - £29.50. I think this has all the blushers you could ever want. It includes the blushes; 'Dandelion', 'Sugarbomb', 'CORALista', 'Bella Bamba' and of course 'Rockateur'. Alongside the blushes there is the amazing benefit 'Hoola' bronzer and finally to add some glow to your cheeks there is the 'Watt's Up' highlighter. This set comes to the value of £65.94 therefore saving yourself or a massive £35. 

6) Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium - £55.35. This YSL perfume has been a bloggers favourite as of late. It has a sexy and spicy scent to it which is perfect for them cold winter evenings. The black bottle compliments the scent so well. I think this is going to be a popular one this coming Christmas.

7) Naked On The Run - £37. This is the newest one to the Naked collection however this time its a travel sized kit with everything you should need. It includes six brand new eyeshadows; 'Diva', 'Fix', 'Resist', 'Dare', 'Stun' and '5050'. Alongside that it also includes a full size Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss a bronzer, blush and a travel sized 'Perversion' Mascara. If you're planning on travelling throughout 2015 this might be perfect for you. 

8) M.A.C Keepsakes: Eye and Lip Palette £45. This set includes all the posh metallics you could ever want. In contains a stunning silver lip and eye bag. Which features its own little quad of metallic eyeshadows in some stunning shades. Alongside that there is also a mineralise lipstick in 'Dreaminess' and a lipgloss in 'Modern Romance'. Both which are gorgeous pink shades.

9) M.A.C Keepsakes Eyes - £32. All of these are actually sold out on the Mac website, so you might need to snoop around your local Mac counter to find one. These come in three shades Beige Eyes, Smoky Eyes and Plum eyes. They all include eight eye shadows and a double ended '213 fluffy brush' and '266 small angled brush'. The beige one includes 'Omega', while the smoky one includes 'Satin Taupe' and the plum one includes 'Taupeless'.

Hope you enjoyed this one! 

Coachella

It's every bodies favourite festival and lets admit that those of us who aren't going are just a little bit jealous of those who are. Coachella is known as the hipsters festival were the dress code is denim shorts, military boots and a flower headband. 

Here I have put a few things together of what most people will be wearing at Coachella and if the weather is nice enough where you are maybe you can also try out some of these styles. If there is one celebrity that will be hot on the trends and always is when it comes to Coachella it has to be Vanessa Hudgens, this year she is being paid $15,000 by McDonalds to attend. She will most certainly hit the trends and what she will be wearing is what you will be wanting to wear all summer. 

If you're missing out on it then you can watch the livestream here. 

Whether you are watching it from home or watching it live, I hope you all have a great weekend.

Hair Envy

I get hair envy from so many people, from people I see in the street to celebrities. There are even people that come into work whose hair I fall in love with. At the moment I have very dark brown hair with ombre caramel ends. I picked out each of these because each of these have locks I would dye for. 

In this I have the length of Lea Michele and Kim Kardashian, the colour of Naya Rivera and Demi Lovato and of course the style of Kylie Jenner and Alexa Chung. I think if I had to pick one of these hairstyles as my favourites it would have to have been Kylie Jenner. I love every hair style she comes out with, actually I love every style either of the Jenner girls have. Even though she is two years younger than me she is most definitely my hair icon. I am loving the length that she has at the moment and most certainly with the blonde showing through, however this girl is one that can also rock a fringe. I'm pretty sure she could turn bold and still love good. 

My hair style is kind of similar to Kylie's in the length of it. However I have a fringe that doesn't seem to be growing out. Now you know my style icon, who is yours? 

Christmas Party Season

Miss Selfridge Petites Tapestry Paisley Dress/Miss Selfridge Bardot Dress/River Island Red tartan collared skater dress/TOPSHOP Oriental Embellished Cami Top/TOPSHOP Tall Black Vinyl Pelmet Skirt/River Island Black floral print shirt pencil dress/TOPSHOP Palma Patent Dress/TOPSHOP Sequin Velvet Dress

This is most definitely my favourite time of year and I love an excuse to buy a new dress. These are some of my wants party wear. I think at this time of year it is important to look good but to still be warm. I have Christmas, New Year and my 18th birthday coming up, therefore I will be looking forward to buying a few new pieces, eeeekkk. 

However I believe that it isn't always a dress that is needed, this season I think a high waisted pencil skirt and cami top will look just as great and maybe straying away from the traditional party dress. Also if you are a fan of trousers and don't want to be too cold this winter, like myself - have you thought about trying a jumpsuit? 

I think when it comes to dresses or party wear, Topshop is where you are going to get the best. A lot of the wear on this list is from Topshop. My favourite individual piece has to be the black vinyl pelmet skirt, that I actually have I think it's jut the right length and I am loving the material. If you are struggling for something to wear this Christmas time, I hope this helped. 

Until Next Time

Christmas Wish List

Hello all, December is soon approaching so I thought it would be a good time to do my Christmas wish list. Here are a couple of things I have asked for this year and a couple of favourites. I will explain what I like about them down before. 

Michael Kors Selma handbag- This is by far my favourite bag by Michael Kors. I love this because it's a take on the classic satchel. I think Kors has done a good job at modernising this bag and making it more fashionable for the current market. This bag comes in a number of colours I think that my favourite is the Gommet black. I like it more than the black because I think that the studs make the bag more stylish. 

Michael Kors purse- Although his handbags are my favourites I do absolutely love his purses, I think for a designer they aren't particular expensive. There are so many purses to chose from is so many different colours, you're certainly going to find one to suit your style. 

Marc Jacobs Daisy - this was on my Christmas list up until this week. I manage to get this for free off one of my best friends because she works in the perfume shop (Thanks Olivia) I love the smell of this because it's so sweet and so refusing. I absolutely love all Marc Jacobs perfumes but this is by far my favourite. If you want a perfume to buy your sister, girlfriend, mum etc I think this is the perfect perfume. 

Platform Chelsea Boots - These boots are from Topshop and I absolutely love them, I think they are great because they are so sturdy. I really want these over normal Chelsea boots due to my height - I am very short, therefore these boots make me look slightly taller. I am also getting these because I get quite a big discount in Topshop due to where I work.  

Real technique make up brushes - I absolutely love Real Technique brushes which is why I really want to get these.  I currently only have the blush brush therefore I would love these to add to my collection. I know that these brushes are incredibly popular due to how soft they are. 

I would just like to say that this isn't about me bragging, I've just done this so others can get some ideas. Also I am writing this on my mobile so I do apologies if the formatting is very bad, I currently have no laptop due to it needing repairing.

Daily Makeup

If there is one thing that I love more than clothes than it's makeup, I have an obsession with high end and high street makeup. I tend to buy a lot of my makeup in Boots and Superdrug but I do occasionally splash out. This is makeup that you will tend to see me wearing on a typical day, it sometimes varies but this is what I tend to wear of a day or a night. 

Foundation - Studio Fix Fluid When I went to New York in 2010, I decided to try out Mac before then I had really trouble finding a colour with good coverage and one which wouldn't make me look orange. The makeup artists found my colour.. and I haven't looked back. I would recommend Mac foundation to everyone I know that it's a bit pricey but it's seriously worth the money I would never use another foundation again. 

Concealer - Collection Lasting Perfection - The amount of concealers I've gone through in the last few years is unreal I think I've tried every drugstore concealer there is. I have only been using this one for a few months and it's absolutely amazing the coverage is flawless, I think this is as good of a concealer as you can get. It is also seriously cheap so it makes up for the costly foundation. 

Face Powder - Maybelline FIT ME - I have to say I really liked this powder to start with but I've recently gone off it. The powder gives you really good coverage and lasts for a long time on your face. The only problem I find with this is that it can make you look incredibly orange on a high tech camera. I spend a lot of time in front the camera (i'm a film and televison student) and when finally in natural light it can make you look really dark. Would anybody be able to recommend a powder that won't make me go so orange? 

Blusher - Nars Orgasm - This blush is quite frankly the best thing I have ever bought, I brought this in the summer when I was in America and although I think that Nars is incredibly pricey it is such a good blusher that I would definitely get it again, the colour is sensational and last's all day which I think is really great as very few blushers do these days. 

Eye Shadow - Urban Decay -Naked 2 - This is the only eye shadow that I will wear, it is quite literally the best eye shadow out. Again this is very expensive but I think it is most definitely worth it. The is a variety of colours that you can mix to get different combinations. Each of the colours are great and I use every single one of them. 

Eyeliner - Rimmel Eyeliner Pencil and Rimmel Exaggerate-Eyeliner - When it comes to eyeliner I don't think there is anyone better than Rimmel, I swear by these. The exaggerate eyeliner is great if you know how to apply it, if you're a beginner I wouldn't recommend this as it can be tricky to apply. The colouring of this is great as it never fades, also similar to the pencil the colour never fades and doesn't make you look like you have bags after a long day. 

Eyebrow pencil - Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil - I have always hated my eyebrows because they were so dark, thick and bushy, but after learning how to take care of them I literally swear by this product, I think that eyebrow are the most important feature to your face, good eyebrows can go a long way. This product is incredibly cheap and worth the money if they have your colour. 

Lipsticks - There are two types of lipsticks that I stand by - MUA & Rimmel - Kate. MUA are great as they are only £1 and for a day to day lipstick I will use shade 6, I think it's a great bright colour which lasts all day. For an evening or going out look I always go to Rimmel and I recently purchased Kate 107. This lipstick is rated so highly and I know so many people that have got it. I think these are a must have. 

Make up brushes - MAC Foundation Brush and Real Techniques Blush Brush - MAC brushes are very expensive but they are absolutely amazing I think that they are worth it if you want a brush that is going to last you a long time and still manage to give you excellent coverage. The blush brush is the only Real Techniques brush that I own, I would love some more for Christmas I think that these are amazing because they are so soft and smooth, they feel so nice against your face. 

Until Next Time

Urban Outfitters

I want to start off by saying sorry for not posting for 3 weeks but my life has gotten so hectic recently. I hope this makes up for it. 

This is my A/W favourites by Urban Outfitters. I am so in love with Urban Outfitters, I know a lot of people don't like them because they are too 'hipster' but I really love some of their items. My favourite item here is the black Chelsea boots, you can get Chelsea boots from most places but I really like these because of their thickness, they are such good quality. I love how they aren't completely flat either, it's great when boots like these have a little heel attached to them. 

If you couldn't already tell, I love the tartan print, I saw the tartan skirt along with a tartan pinafore when I went up to Bristol last week (their UO is so lovely, the staff are so nice) I really wanted to buy it but sadly I didn't have enough money, so when I get some money I am definitely buying it. A lot of places have tartan skirts and this along with one in Topshop is my favourite, I love the zip design on the front it's very flattering. 

The long pinafore is a favourite of mine because I think it's got to the point where the summer pinafores have to go away for another year so UO have designed this colourful long one which I think is great for the winter months. I think that pinafores are a bit of an alternative for a dress that not everybody wants to wear during summer. 

It annoys me so much that there isn't a Urban Outfitters where I live in Plymouth, the closest one is Exeter which is a good hour away. Anyway I hope this makes up for being so slow on updates, I will try and update some more when I get some free time. 

Until Next Time

Topshop

Topshop by perksofbeingnaomi featuring western jackets

My favourite time of the year is when Topshop bring out their A/W line and this year I think it's better than ever. 

With the top trend for this autumn & winter being leather and tartan I thought I would show you my two favourite pieces from Topshop along with a few of my other favourites. 

The leather skirt is a from the MOTO range. I really like the skirt because it's a bit different, I'm not much of a fan of pencil skirts so this 'kilt' skirt is perfect. This style of skirt seems really popular at the moment with lots of different ones being on eBay. I think the only thing I dislike about this skirt is the fact that it isn't high waisted, but then again I have an obsession for everything high waisted. can be found here

These leather court shoes are from the unique range, I've never really looked into the unique range much because it's usually so much more expensive but since London Fashion Week last week I've found myself looking at it more. I loved the new SS14 collection that was on the catwalk, I'm positive that I now want everything from this collection. However I do love these shoes because while being your classic court shoe they are a bit more stylish and modern. can be found here

This floral satin slip dress could quite possibly one of my favourites. I love how the pattern changes to look like a top and skirt. It's such a flattering piece and I think it would look great for a night out. Floral is great for any season and this dress is an example of it. This is a statement piece this season. can be found here

Boyfriend coats are where it's at right now. The winter season is coming and I think that this is the perfect buy. You can get this coat in pink, green or yellow it is most defiantly something that will brighten up your wardrobe. If you're fed up of seeing nothing but black and grey in your wardrobe then this is the piece. The wool texture will keep you warm and be so comfortable that you won't want to take it off. can be found here

A long with the leather skirt another hot trend this season is tartan. Who doesn't love tartanWith it being not too cold at the moment it will later on and this skirt would be perfect with a pair of thick tights. Although similar to this there is a skirt in h&m if this skirt is a bit beyond the budget. can be found here

If you ask me what my two favourite types of jackets are I would respond with fur & denim and guess what we have here a winter denim jacket. I love this jacket so so much it's absolutely gorgeous. The thing I hate about most denim jackets is that they are great for summer but useless when it comes to the winter because they are so thin but this one here is the complete opposite with the fur to keep you warm. can be found here

Chunky black lace up boots are the one and these are no different, if you're not keen on the cut out boots then these are great to keep your feet warm. I love these because they have a platform sole which will give you a bit more height but they are still very casual. No boy will get in your way if you wear these shoes can be found here

Until Next Time

Favourites of the Summer

These are some of the things I have been loving this summer so I thought as summer is coming to an end :( I would do this post. 

1) Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash - After weeks of searching for some oil free face wash I finally found Neutrogena. Before buying this I had never used Neutrogena before but it will certainly be a re-purchase. Just to let you know, I have the worse skin in the world and this stuff is amazing my skin in now clear after using this for 6 weeks, so I mean if it clears up mine I'm sure it will work on anyones. I would recommend this if your skin is very oily (like mine) because it works wonders. 

2) Naked 2 palette from Urban Decay - As you know I brought this palette in America and it is literally the greatest thing I have ever brought, I love it so much. The colours are amazing the brush is amazing, everyone needs to buy this. 

3) Yves Saint Laurent Luxurious Mascara For A False Lash Effect - Is it normal to spend £24 on a mascara?? probably not but it's Yves Saint Laurent so who cares. I got this mascara ages ago but I absolutely love it, I personally think it's one of VSL's best mascara as they have been a bit hit and miss recently. If you're willing to pay this much for a mascara then I would definitely recommend getting it. 

4) Natural Collection Body Spray - I love these body sprays so much they are absolutely amazing, they smell wonderful and last for ages. These bottles are only £2 and I think they are an absolute steal everyone needs one of these and they won't break your bank balance. 

5) Miss Selfridge Petites Denim Pinafore Dress - I actually brought this just before the summer and I love it so much, I've worn it on so many occasions. I sometimes think that Miss Selfridge can be a bit expensive but I managed to get this for £20 as it was the last one in the shop. (shocker there is never anything usually in my size) Pinafores have been a massive hit for the spring/summer trend and i'm so thankful for that because I love it. 

6) Urban Outfitters denim skirt - I also brought this in America as I stated on a previous post and I'm unsure of how much this costs in pounds but it was $50... so if anyone can work that out? I do think Urban Outfitters is overly expensive but their clothes are lovely so i'll let them off. I wouldn't usually spend this much on a skirt but I though hey-ho I'm on holiday lets go all out. If you have the money to spend then I would say go get it as it's one of my favourite pieces. 

7) Collection concealer - Before I confuse anyone Collection has changed their name removing the '2000' so now it's just Collection. This is my most used beauty product ever (other than my mac foundation) it's literally the best concealer out there. It's very cheap at just over £4 (i can't remember the actual price) it has the best coverage of any concealer I have used, high street and high end. It covers up redness, dark circles and scars and you get a lot of product so it's a winner all round. 

Until Next Time

Style Icons 2013

These are my style icons from the past year so I thought I would explain as to why I love them so much.

Alexa Chung - She is absolutely gorgeous, her hair is to die for and so are all of her clothes. She's very on trend and knows what looks good on her, I like that she is always confident in what she wears. Alexa isn't afraid to move away from traditions and go with something a bit more unique and different, out of all of these she is the best one for putting her own twists on individual pieces.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen - I have loved this girls since forever. When I was younger I would always get my hair cut like them because they just looked so great. I think that over the past few years their clothing has changed drastically but I also think that they still manage to look great in everything that they wear. The also have their own clothing line which is always dead on trend. If you ever want some style inspiration then look no further than the Olsen twins because they know everything about fashion & style.

Vanessa Hudgens - I loved all of her outfits at Coachella this year; the crop tops, matching shorts and top and the vintage sunglasses. Vanessa is great if you want some inspiration to show you how to rock a 'different' look. She's young and fresh so almost everything she wears is a hit. Vanessa also had the spring breakers weekly premiere a few weeks back and every outfit she wore was stunning, is there any look she can't pull off?

Naya Rivera - Being a fan of Glee I find myself watching back old episodes and I can't believe how much Naya has changed... in a seriously good way. She has a gorgeous body, if I can have her abs that would be great. In this picture the one thing you will notice is her legs, she rocks these shorts because she's so tall. Her style is a lot more current and full of designers and everyone loves a couple of designer pieces.

Demi Lovato - Damn this women has the figure literally everyone wants. Apart from being jealous of how gorgeous body i'm also jealous of how outfits as she looks great in everything. She makes sure that she is always showing off her curves in the best possible way and it lovely to see someone who is a real size look so amazing instead of it being all stick thin models.

That's it from me until the 18th. I will try my hardest to post something on the 18th as long as jet lag doesn't hit me too much. I hope you have a lovely couple of weeks and i'll speak to you all when i'm back.

No posts from the 1st-18th August

Okay so I'm guessing that you have already realised that i'm going on holiday next week to... America hence the theme. I will be gone for just over 2 weeks so I won't be posting while I'm away, however when I get back I will probably do a few posts on what I wore during the day and during the evening.

Now it's my third time going to America I've been New York and Florida before. I am visiting Florida again yay the last time I went to Florida I was 12 and didn't have a clue about fashion. This year I plan on doing some major shopping I plan on buying the Naked 2 palette by Urban Decay, Nars blush and Mac lipsticks (they are so cheap). I also want to do some clothes shopping now I know American Apparel is a must and Forever 21 is usually pretty good (although it does remind me of Primark). I was wondering what are everybodies go to stores when they are in America? Just remember I'm in Florida and not NY or California so it's not massive for Shopping. Although I am going Miami for one day, has anyone been please tell me what it's like?

On another note after just a month of starting this blog I'm now over 1000 views, thank you so much it means the world to me x x 

turquoise... love it or hate it?

This is the colour this summer that you're either going to love... or hate. I absolutely love this colour especially on the jellies. Although this colour is limiting what you can wear because of how bright the colour is. In my mind there is no doubt that this is the colour for the summer.
