Beauty Obsessions

Bondi Sands Tan
As a girl with naturally incredibly pale skin, I like to fake it till I make it. I've become obsessed with just becoming as dark as I can with fake tan without looking orange. I just feel more confident and summery with a tan, however I do envy girls who rock the pale skin look. I've tried quite a few fake tans, and I have to say Bondi Sands gives me the deepest most natural looking colour I've found. It doesn't smell too bad and it's really easy to apply. It's also not too expensive for a high-end ish tan at £15 for a 200ml bottle.

Exfoliating Gloves
These things have changed my life. Who knew the satisfaction that could be gained from watching all of the old fake tan and dead skin from (ew I know but wait until you've tried it...). They are better than any scrub I've ever used, and they only cost £1.Yes - £1.

Loreal Glam Bronze*
This is an odd product which I was sent by Loreal, and never would have probably bought myself - however I do really like it. It takes some getting used to but it is essentially a liquid bronzer that sets to a powder finish on the skin. It is quite warm in tone and can if applied badly look a little muddy/orange, but when applied right it does look gorgeous. It adds a beautiful glow and warmth to the skin. I find it's best applied with a beauty blender or contour brush for best effect.

Highlighter
It seems I've just become obsessed with highlighter in general recently. I love the healthy summer glow it adds to your face. My favourites have to be The Balm's Mary Lou-Manizer and Seventeen 3 Way Highlighter.


Life Obsessions

Whistles Phone Case
I've been on the hunt for the perfect phone case, and after weeks of searching I found it on Depop. It's by Whistles and only cost me £8. What a steal!

Peonies
You might be able to tell, but my favourite flowers are peonies. I've had a few bunches (my fave being the light pink ones) and have taken countless pictures of them as they are just so darn beautiful.

Orange Is The New Black
If there is one ULTIMATE obsession for me at the moment, it's this. It took me ages to get into as I felt a bit indifferent towards it at first, but now I''m just obsessed! I've finished all 3 seasons and am now desperate for season 4, however I feel it will be quite a long wait *sobs*. If you fancy a new series to get hooked to on Netflix, then give OITNB a try!

On the cheeks

MAC lipsticks are possibly one of my most treasured make-up items. I love them because they come in pretty much any colour under the sun and the quality is the best I've tried. I don't own hundreds, but I have what I would consider a cult collection of the best colours. I don't like to buy tons of colours which I probably wouldn't wear, so keeping it small means you wear all of them. I would love to know any recommendations of your fave Mac lipsticks so feel free to leave them below!

I should probably just have called this post 'how many more times can I wear an all black outfit and try and say something new about it.'  If you read my blog, you'll know that I wear all black a lot.  It's a fail safe. It's easy. And it almost always looks good. So I'm going to make it a short one as you don't need to hear me jabber on about my all black outfits anymore. One thing I will say though is 1. I'm in love with these new Nike trainers - they're insane. and 2. I'm also in love with this Diesel jacket. Blazers + Jeans = My new love. Enough said.

P.S - if you're in the Fulham/Brompton area I would recommend a quick visit to Brompton Cemetery (pictured).  It's peacefully beautiful and calm, rare for central London! 

Hello one and all, yes I am still here. Sorry I have been so MIA recently. Life just gets in the way sometimes and I hate that often my little blog gets neglected. *slap on the wrist for me*. However, I am back and have been busy taking pictures, doing things and recharging my creativity. A place that really got me back into wanting to blog was Columbia Road Flower Market. I went the other day and it was b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. If you don't mind the crowds then you'll love the amazing and eclectic mix of cheap and colourful flowers on offer. Even if you're not into the flowers there is an array of beautiful london houses, cafes and shops to gawp at. I highly recommend. One word of advice though is go early - that way you beat the busy middle of the day crowds. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day in London so I threw on one of my favourite new dresses. I'm so into the whole boho/bell sleeves thing - I love it. Paired with some boots you have yourself the perfect chilled sunny Sunday outfit.
