Helloooo!

I have now finished uni - wahoo! 

And moved house - wahoo!

Unfortunately that means I lack the internet right now :-( It is due to be installed next Saturday - which cannot come quick enough!

I have several posts I am ready to write as soon as I get the chance. I may take my computer to my boyfriends one night this week to do it... 

Anyway, I have enjoyed reading the blogs of all my lovely new followers :-) and I look forward to being back full time! 

I hope you are all well!* 





*p.s. I do apologise for the large amount of exclamation marks haha

OOTN & FOTN: Goodbye My Friend!

This outfit and face of the night I believe is my first ever - wahoo! So go easy on me ;-) I'm not as stylish as others nor am I the best at make up but I try. 

I actually wore this look last Saturday night but I completely forgot I took photos of it before I went out! It was two of my friends birthdays and one of them also moved to Scotland the day after so it was kind of his leaving celebrations as well. It was a fun night and I'm glad I got a little bit of fun before revision started (not that that is going well - argh). 

This outfit was actually put together by my friend Lucy who featured the items in a blog post on lonely wardrobe. We literally went shopping together the day after she posted about it as I HAD to have it. Unfortunately we had to get a different top though as the one she featured wasn't available in our Dorothy Perkins :-(


Top - Select £8 LINK
Skirt - H&M £7.99 LINK

You can't really see it on properly so here is a  (sort of) better picture:


Definitely get the right size top for you. In the store I thought the top looked a little on the small size so sized up but when  I got it home it was huge! I spent all night pulling it up so you couldn't see my boobs - not that that really helped as it is sheer. 

For the skirt I would say try it on but probably size up also. If you're anything like me and Kim Kardashian, with voluptuous bottom halves, you'll find that although it fits at the waist it won't across your legs. And the way it falls at the front means you risk your vajayjay being exposed!


 I went for blue and gold with the make up. You can't really tell because of my glasses but when my eyes are open it looks like a really nice hint of blue in the crease/corner. I have no  idea where my make up is right now as I'm in the process of moving house but to the best of my knowledge this is what I used:


  • Sleek Storm Pallette - Gold and a couple of the Blues.
  • L'oreal Telescopic Mascara
  • Collection 2000 Eyeliner
  • Benefit Coralista Blush
  • MUA Primer
  • Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation in Ivory
  • MUA Shade 7 Lipstick


I would love to see some of your OOTN! Leave me links below :-)

What's On My Kindle?

I've had my Kindle for about 7 months now. My Mum bought me it for my 21st birthday as a part of my present and I absolutely love it. I was never sure as to whether I wanted one or not because I'm a huge book lover and going round charity shops and book fairs has always been a hobby of mine. But I have no regrets! I am so in love with this little machine now and I have read so much more than I used to.

I keep mine in this pink 'leather' case which I bought from eBay - LINK - I couldn't find the exact one again but that is pretty much the same one, for the same price.


At first I kept it in a silicone skin inside a sleeve but the case is so much more protective. I don't know why I still keep the silicone skin on but for some reason I do. It actually keeps it more secure within the case anyway so win-win. 


I tend to keep a collection on my Kindle for books I've recently read. I like to keep my goodreads account up to date but sometimes I forget to for a while. Keeping this collection helps me to go back and check I've put everything in. 


I've read both these triologies within about two weeks - woops! They were both really good and super addictive reads. I can definitely see the obsession with both!

I have about 70 books stored on here ready to read. As you can see below, these are the next few I'm set to read. A mixture of old and new with the odd classic thrown in there. 


I'm constantly looking for new and interesting reads and going on book hunts is an old favourite of mine. My boyfriend doesn't enjoy it so much though!

Add me on Goodreads if you're on there - LINK

I'd love to hear any book recommendations you could give me down below :) 
Also, if anybody knows of any online book clubs, let me know! Now I've finished uni I have so much more time for reading and would love to get involved with a few clubs.
