What I bought recently...

The past few months have been quite crazy, but I managed to still go shopping ;)

Yesterday I went out with my bestie Cherise, we went shopping and then had a nice meal. It's so nice to see and have a catch up with her, we have THE best times :)

I bought quite a few things, which I wanted for ages and I just never had the time to scoot and get it.

This is the FIRST time I ever bought something for Kiehl's (sad but true) and I always pass out when I go into Kiehl's, its soo lovely in there, it makes you want to buy everything!
I bought the 'Olive Fruit Oil Nourishing Conditioner' in the smaller size (75ml) which was about £9 and 'Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 in Mango' which was also £9. The lovely lady was giving me a sample of practically everything that I wanted to try! One thing I have to mention is that the products are a littlepricey at first look, but I haven't tried the products so at the moment I cannot say whether it is value for money.

I decided to get a hair product because I am beyond OBSESSED with looking after my hair. I really want it to grow as I have a wedding in my family coming up and my hair just does not grow :( I only wanted to buy the lip balm but when I went in the shop, this caught my eye, so I will keep you updated on how they pan out (excuse the pun!).


I bought two rings from Republic which I LOVE! I always wanted these types of ring. You can wear a simple outfit and wear these kinds of rings as a "statement". I personally think it will be the perfect summer accessory. Here.

Nails: Essie 'Bermuda Shorts'

I went to Paperchase as well, which is the first one in my area, so woohoo! I am obsessed with this shop now. They have the cutest things in there, some stuff just made me smile :) I got a book, where I can write all my thoughts and general malarky in. Its divided into 4 sections and I have dedicated one area to hair and skincare brands that I want to try as there are soo many! But, the nicest thing I found was this 'Checkerboard Pass Case', which was £4 (bargain!) and I will use to hold my Oyster card and my University pass. Look how nice the inside is. As soon I saw this, it was sold, my friend also bought one! Ahhh it's the little things :)

And I also  received my delieveries for stuff that I have ordered online:

My red wallet from Asos. It was on sale here. I absolutely love it. Its bright and red is my favourite colour, even though I am a 'safe' buyer, meaning that I buy everything in safe colours such as black and neutrals, so this wallet was a big step for me!

I got a few things from The Body Shop, a shampoo, a facial moisturiser, a body scrub and a lip product that I am really disappointed about :(


Anyone been shopping this past month? Any good finds?

Winter Shopping! (any excuse to shop!)

Winter is my favourite time of year, I really do wish I was a winter baby! I love the cold and being snuggly and hot chocolate before bed (yep I got a cup sitting next to me! Ha!)

I went to the Stratford City Westfield properly for the first time on Wednesday. (By properly I mean I did some mega shopping!)

So, onto some of the things I got...

•  winter jacket, £44.99 Link (this link shows the black colour, I got the khaki one! And its cheaper now! DAMN IT!)

Well, this is actually a parka and I wanted something warm and comfortable. I found this baby in New Look and my bestie was like "you are not getting any black clothing, EVERYTHING you wear is black", which I hate her for saying but it is true, I love black, it is such a sleek colour! I guess I have to step out of my comfort zone sometimes, so I got the khaki version! *brave*

• two scarves, £5ish each

I also got these scarves from New Look because they are really nice, they are not wool, but they look like wool and they are not itchy like some scarves, which is not nice. I got the grey one and I loved it sooo much I went and got the tan colour one to match one of my bags. For this price you definitely can't go wrong and it does keep me warm. The weather is around 4 degrees celsius, which is really cold, but I love it! ;)

Top- Tan
Bottom- Grey

• a bag, £14.99

I needed a black bag, so while I was in New Look, I picked up this beauty. It looks like leather but it isn't (sneaky!) and it is HUGE inside, even though it looks smallish, I can practically fit everything I need (my whole room sometimes!) You guys should definitely have a look. I am going to get another, that is how much I heart it.

Beauty :)

I also got a few pairs of skinny jeans from Dorothy Perkins. Some of their jeans are actually quite nice. I just got basic blue ones, nothing fancy! :)

Random lovin'...

Music wise I am loving Rihanna's album and Drake's album, seriously good stuff. I have to try and control myself to not sing aloud on the train. And I am loving 'It will rain' by Bruno Mars! It is constantly on replay! :) His voice is incredible, so soft and just ahhhh. 

Also, the geek inside me has to recommend watching BBC's 'Frozen Planet', if you haven't already watched it. Its AMAZING! It's about nature and the natural behaviours of animals. I am wowed by how amazing the world actually is. It is finishing this week, but you can catch it on BBC iplayer. 

Happy December btw! How is your winter shopping going?

Shopaholic!

That is exactly what I AM becoming! 


The two most important things a girl needs after food and water are clothes and nail polish.
And I made sure that that is what I did! We always need necessities ;)


For clothes, I bought one of those smart blazers and two  simple tops all from H&M. I am really impressed with their Autumn/Fall clothing range, it is soo affordable, current and there are some beaut. pieces! 


Dorothy Perkins have a nice shoe collection and so I bought some flats for everyday. I got a black pair (which I did have to wear into and it HURT :( ) and a pointy tan-ish pair, which are really comfortable! :) They were like £16 each I think?! BARGAIN!!!

And I got a bit nail polish crazy!!! And really excited! LOL!
I had a few No7 vouchers (kindly given to me by my sister!) and thought that 'I can't let them go to waste' (LOL, any excuse to buy nail polish!) So, I purchased colours from their recent colour collection. Trust me I do not need ANY more nail polishes....I have soo many to use up, it is kind of becoming a joke... But sooo WHAT!!! :)

(L-R) Tangy, Jammy, Pinky Pure, Cheeky Chops, Peach Melba, Black, Hologram.

When I bought Pinky Pure 160 by No7 I thought, this won't suit me...but I am pleasantly surprised.. I think it looks okay. I feel a bit Barbie-ish but Barbie is cool, right?! :S This is what it looked like on (excuse the messy nail application!) I was soo excited to get this colour on!

FYI: No7 have changed the formula and brush for their nail polishes (for better!-thank God!) I was actually really impressed with the colour, application and how opaque it was. Well, there was one exception... Pinky Pure 160. It is a nice colour ( I love it!) but it was a nightmare to get on... It was streaky, quite watery and I had to put 2 thickish coats. It might just be my bottle... But do let me know if you had the same problem...

I also managed to get my hands on Barry M's Nail Paint in Hologram (No. 244). I was looking for this basically everywhere for months and I found it in my local Boots! *YAY*!!! I will be using this EVERYDAY!!! I really love it. But I did find it hard to get all the glitter specks on my nail evenly. Practice makes perfect! ;)


Ohhhhhhhh anddddd I almost FORGOT...I can't wait to watch Kim Kardashian's Wedding on E! tonight....waiting to watch this for ages!  ;) (yep, you got it right! I'm a reality TV/Kardashian whore!) Its on at 9pm!


Hope you are having a good weekend!
