I seemed to forget about these images until I found them on a memory card recently! Clearly these were taken a few weeks ago before Britain's weather decided to stop making up its mind any more, however I thought I would share them with you anyway! This outfit had a few of the classics in it. A classic white shirt paired with a classic red lip - we'll thank MAC's Ruby Woo for that. I really enjoyed wearing this as it is very casual but made me feel 'put together' at the same time. It would be lovely if the sun could show it's face for more than 5 minutes so I can please where this outfit again - thanks.

Taking exams is just a part of life, but it can be a very stressful period in time. Whether in school, college or uni - exams can sometimes leave people feeling a little fragile, and I think it's best to take some 'me time' in order to do the best you can! I'm a believer in that if you look after yourself, you can achieve far better. 

I'm one of those people who is very optimistic when it comes to summer. In the UK if the sun comes out for more than about an hour in a day, the population basically goes into 'summer mode' and we all start heading out for picnics and wearing refilling through our wardrobes for a bikini that fits - but the frank reality is it's probably about 10 degrees. This is where my wardrobe also begins to alter as I see sun and will immediately throw on a frock, and when someone says 'are you not cold?', I simply reply 'No' - even though secretly I am. This is because summer has to be my favourite season and you can wear beautiful dresses like this one from Zara without having to worry about tights or coats. I think putting a jumper over a dress like this would ruin it as you just wouldn't be able to see the beautiful pattern. Therefor, I for one am bloody looking forward to summer!

Spring feels like a time for new life and new beginnings and changing your make up look from winter to spring can be so good. Forget heavy winter foundation and go for light, dewy bases which give you that 'lit from within look'. Rimmel Wake Me Up does the job well here. To conceal any blemishes etc. then use something light weight but with a good coverage such as Miss Sporty Concealer. Then your going to want a pop of colour on the cheeks and Clinique 'Iced Lotus' blush is perfect for a highlighty blush look.  For eyes your'rem going to want to keep it simple and a sweep of MAC 'Honey Lust' eyeshadow and lashings of Benefit They're Real Mascara will make your eyes look effortlessly chic. Then it's the brows. I like big bold brows and for that I just fill them in using a matte brown shadow like Natural Collection 'Crushed Walnut'. Finally the lips. You're going to want something light and girly and for that the Maybelline Baby Lips in 'Pink Punch' is perfect as it gives you some colour whilst keeping your lips moisturised. Et Voila - your new spring look is complete!

Hi there internet - long time no speak...

I'm aware I've been a bit M.I.A at the moment, but I do have a very good reason! As many of you will know, in the UK (i'm not sure if this goes for the rest of the world - let me know!), the period between about April and June is exam season. This is obviously where people who are doing  GCSE's, A- Levels and Uni all sit exams (duh...!) and it appears its my turn to do so. This means that blog posts have been a bit few and far between at the moment, and will continue to do so for a month or so. I will be trying to schedule posts to go up for you all but unfortunately studying has to take pride of place at the moment *sobs*. I hope you all understand and I am very much looking forward to my exam free summer in which I can post till my hearts content!


Company Blogger Awards

For the first time I've entered my blog into the Company Blogger Awards 2014 under best teen blog (under 18's). I'm not expecting to do very well but I would be more than overjoyed if even one of you votes for me. I believe you can vote internationally so if you would like to do so just go here or click the image below and enter your email address and my blog URL. It would mean the world and I really appreciate all your support!

Seeing as I haven't done a favourites I'm a while, I thought I would share with you all a few of the things I have been loving recently.

After hearing Essiebutton sing the praises of MAC 'Plumful', I decided to pick it up and give it a go. It is a really pretty pinky purple colour that I think would flatter a lot of skin tones, but looks particularly nice on us pale gals. It is a lustre finish which I have to say has to be my least favourite of the finishes that I've tried, so it means that it is very moisturising, glossy and quite sheer. The colour can be built up or just worn with a quick swipe. As it is a lustre it doesn't last very long as it just wipes off the lips when you eat/drink etc.
