OOTD: SUMMER PICNIC

Hello everyone!

Feels like such a long time since I have posted my outfit! However the other day, I was wearing an outfit I loved in a beautiful location and I couldn't resist! 

DANIEL WELLINGTON CLASSIC PETITE BONDI WATCH

Hello Everyone!

Long time no see but I've got a really lovely post for you today. Ever since I was little, my dad has had a thing about watches and always put a lot of thought and effort into which ones he buys. And because of this, I have also become someone who really likes a good watch and keeps an eye out for beautiful and sophisticated designs.

WHAT'S IN MY BAG

Hello everyone!

It feels like absolutley ages since I have done a 'whats in my bag' post - and I have seen a lot of them around  recently which has made me want to write one! Also, I got a new bag recently and I wanted to share it with you.

ALL OF MY 2016 FAVOURITES

Hello Everyone!

I feel like there are so many blog posts that can be done around the new year, and I really just want to do them all. I apologise if you've seen a lot of these sorts of posts recently, but I have quite a lot to say so didn't really want to skip out on it!

There has been so much that I have loved over the past year and it's going to be hard to get it all into one blog post, so know that if they made it here, I absolutely love these products and they are definitely worth the buy! I also wantend to put a little twist on it by incorperating beauty, fashion and lifestyle into this post rather than just beauty. Enjoy!

BEAUTIFUL NECKLACE FROM 'STATEMENT MADE' JEWELLERY

Hi Loves!

The other day, I was sent a gorgeous a necklace* from the lovely Stephanie at Statement Made Jewellery, and I really wanted to write a blog post about it a I have officially fallen in love with it, and all the jewellery that she has to offer!

A JUMPER TO MATCH THE SEASON

Hello Everyone! 

As you can probably tell, I'm really starting to get into the autumnal mood and starting to try and make my self look as much look like an autumnal tree as possible (if you missed my autumnal makeup look you can see it here). And now for the first post of November (the best month of the year, because it's my birthday month), I wanted to show you this gorgeous autumnal jumper from H&M. 

Fashion: Bomber Jacket's love

Hello everyone! 

I feel like every blogger right now is absolutely loving that it is autumn and I am more than happy to jump on that band wagon. As much as I love summer, when it comes to fashion, autumn is just the best. Today, I wanted to talk about my favourite staple of the autumn so far; my bomber jacket. 

I got this khaki one from boohoo, and I am so in love with it. Not only is this jacket actually warm (yes, i'm looking at you stylish but impractical leather jacket), it goes with pretty much all of my wardrobe. 

Fashion: Autumn Favourites

Hello everyone! I really wanted to share with you some of my favourite fashion staples. At the moment I'm really liking the 90's vibe (and really channeling my inner Rachel Green), and as you can see a lot of the items I've picked are over sized and denim.

Fashion faves october by yasminanicole featuring a bomber jacket

Topshop blue dress
£54 - topshop.com


I absolutely love pinafore dresses as they make me feel like i'm 5 years old again. The 90's baby in me is all over this with wearing it over an oversized sweater with tights and boots. I find them so adorable and wintery.

MANGO pink sweater
£58 - mango.com


And here is a gorgeous over sized roll neck sweater that i absolutely want. I think that not only will this be warm and cosy, but it just looks so cute. I also love the baby pink colour as it's so girly and pretty.

T By Alexander Wang bomber jacket
£590 - farfetch.com



Bomber jackets are by far my favourite jackets for this time of year. I obviously will never be able to afford this Alexander Wang jacket, but hey a girl can dream!

Topshop high rise jeans
£66 - topshop.com



How cool are these ripped jeans? I think they are so edgy and the perfect statement piece for this time of year!

New Look bib overall
newlook.com



I'm also obessed with dungarees! Much like the pinafore, I find this just the epitome of 90's cool. I love wearing these with gorgeous crop top and big hooped earrings. 

Adidas Originals athletic shoes
£34 - 6pm.com


Gotta love the classic adidas shoes! These are so comfy and casual and just make any outfit look instantly cooler.

4 Essentials YOU need in your flight carry on

Hello Everyone! 

Long time, no blog I know, I've really missed keeping to a schedule but unfortunately I have been so busy! Hopefully things will calm down a bit now and I can get back to normal. Today's post is all about what is going in my carry on bag for my holdiday (which I am finally leaving for tomorrow! Woo!). This year my boyfriend and I am flying out for a city break to Prague in the Cheque Republic and I am so excited! It's a place neither of us have been to before and have heard really good things about, so hopefully it will be an amazing trip. I will most definitely posting some pics on here so keep your eyes peeled!

1) Books and magazines 

These are an absolute must for me! One of the most important parts of a holiday are to be able to relax, and the best way for me to do that is by reading. I love Cosmo and Glamour, they're some of my favourite magazines and they're also one of the best prices out there (who knew that cosmo was only £1 now?!?!). Mags are great for when you mindlessly want to flick through and read about fun things like fashion and beauty. I also have to have a book and at the moment I'm reading 'If you're not the one' by Emma Forte which is a really great girly. easy read that you can really get your nose stuck into. I find them so useful in a carry on because you can often have a lot of waiting around when travelling and this just passes the time so well!

2) Important bits and bobs

So obviouusly in my carry on I have to have my iPhone, charger, earphones (you can't go through a flight without music) and my purse. Pretty standard but you definitely can't forget any of these items!

3) Glasses and contact lenses

If you're blind as a bat like me, you'll know that you HAVE to have a backup way to see when travelling. I always carry spare contact lenses in case one falls out or they become uncomfortable, my glasses, in case I get tired and want to sleep  on the plane and a pair of sunglasses because there's nothing better than stepping off a plane into bright sunshine and popping your sunnies on - it really gets you in the holiday mood!

 4) Toiletries

 Obviously you can only take a certain amount of liquids onto an aeroplane so you really only need to bring the essentials in your carry on. I bring a face wash and moisturiser, in case I feel gross after a flight, or before a flight if it's quite a long one. I also HAVE to take my tangle teaser because my hair would look extremely awful by the time I got off the flight if I just left it. It's always good to carry a compact mirror just in case too, both for my contact lenses and make up.

5) Makeup

Again, with make up you only want to be bringing the essentials, and to be honest, who can be bothered with a full face of make up on a flight? I just bring foundation, a small eye shadow and contour palette, eyebrow kit, mascara, eyelinee and a nude liquid lipstick. It's also good to carry your makeup in case your main luggage gets lost or anything like that. 

So there we go! That's what I carry in my bag on a plane! What do you like to take with you?

Fashion: Dreamy Watch From 'House Of Florrie'

Hello everyone! So I've never really been the biggest fan of jewelry. I find that it can be a bit too much and some people really over do it. I normally prefer pieces of understated jewelry that normally aren't too expensive (seriously it makes me feel sick the amount some people spend on it!). Having said this, one item of jewelry I am always happy to spend a bit of money on and properly spend time chosing is a watch. I think they are the perfect addition to any outfit and they come in so many styles that there is always on for any occasion.

The other week I was contacted by House Of Florrie asking me if I would like to try one of their gorgeous time pieces, and I could pick any of them from their range. So I took a browse on their website and wow - oh - wow, I was absolutely blown away. 

They have a really good range of watches in different styles and colours, with mesh chains, more chunky chains, leather straps, as well as interchangable straps. I decided to go for the Eleanor Rose Gold pearlised pink one with a white face and rose gold hard ware and a pearlised pink strap. I absolutely fell in love with this one as it's so girly and pretty. I think that this one will go with loads of my outfits particularly over the summer where I wear a lot of white, creams and browns and neutral colours. ( I think I might do an outfit post styling some of my summer neutral outfits... comment if you would like to see!)

The price of the watches range from around £85 - £115 which so good for a really good quality watch. These watches are have genuine leather straps so they will definitely last and not ruin. 

I also loved all the deails that came with the package of the watch. It comes in this gorgeous patterented box with adorable little notes inside. 

I would highly recommend that if you are looking for a new, gorgeous watch, that you check out House of Florrie's website, there really is something for everyone!

Comment below what watch brands that you like, I would love to have a browse!

Fashion: A Love Affair With Boyfriend Jeans

Hello Everyone! 

Here's a new fashion post for you, today I wanted to talk about my current love for boyfriend jeans. I have to say for years now, I didn't think I could wear jeans that weren't skinny, and more specifically, Topshop Joni Jeans. I know, I know, so boring and so unadventurous! But as some one who struggles to find jeans that fit me decently and look good (I'm 5"2 and have literally the shortest legs ever), I had got into a habit with some jeans I knew that I loved and were comfortable for me. Without a doubt I still love joni jeans and they will always be a stable in my wardrobe HOWEVER I have been a lot more adventerous recently with my jeans and I am so glad that I have taken a bigger step to change it up. Last year on a whim, I saw these boyfriend jeans on sale on Boohoo.com and thought they were such a good price that it was the perfect time to try them out. I love how they are a really traditonal denim jean blue colour, as it's a colour that most people tend to forget about with white, black and various different other colours of jeans, but this is just so classic. What also drew me to these jeans was that they are highly distressed, which just adds an extra dimension to any outfit and makes it look more edgy and laid back. I wore this look whilst on holiday when on the beach and found these jeans were perfect as they gave a really lovely beachy, laid back vibe. Also, because boyfriend jeans look great rolled up, I didn't have to worry too much about the length. In this look I decided to pair them with a chunky black belt, a black leotard, brown sandals and a choker. I think this look is a great laid back summer vibe and slightly warmer for when Britain gets a bit colder (as it already has done, boo). 

Have you tried boyfriend jeans? Or are there any other style of jeans you think I should try in my attempts to be more adventerous? Be sure to give me a comment!

Fashion: Lazy Beach Days

Hello everyone!

I have been away for the last few days, so I apologize that I have only been managing to get one post a week, but I've been really busy and have quite a weak internet connection which sucks. However I have been having a wonderful and relaxing time and have managed to get some gorgeous blog photos here, which you will be seeing very soon! My family decided to escape for a few days to Camber Sands in East Sussex to a small apartment across the road to the beautiful sand dunes and beach. It has been absolutely lovely - we've been very lucky that the weather has been pretty good and warm for the UK, and have therefore been able to spend long days chilling on the beach. Today I wanted to write a post about my go to lazy beach outfit which I took some photos of in the gorgeous dunes yesterday.

First off with my hair: more often than not, if I am on the beach, I will want to get my hair out of my face to stop it getting tangled with wind, sand and sea and so that I don't have to faff about with it all too much. I absolutely love doing two french plaits, which I think look great as I have very long hair now. They just stop me from worrying all day as to what my hair looks like, as I know that it's going to keep and look super adorable all day. 

Next I decided to put on this little black choker with a small gold sun charm on it. I got this from Primark as I've seen so many people rocking them and I wanted to join the party. I think that it makes any plain outfit look instantly cool and more boho, which is great for a beach look... it makes my outfit more dressed up without going too overboard and compromising on comfort. 

My top is a plain black tshirt crop top from H&M a few years ago. I can't even begin to explain how often I wear this top, it goes with everything! Definitely something that you all need in your wardrobe..goes with skirts, shorts, jeans... the list is endless!

And finally, my cotton shorts are black with white patterned flowers on them, and little frills on the bottom from Primark. These are so comfortable and light, and great for lazing around on the beach all day. They don't ever feel too tight and are the perfect mix of casual and smart.

All in all I am super happy with this beach look and cannot stress enough how comfy it is!

Have you been on holiday this year? What's your go to beach look?

I really hope you enjoyed this post!

Fashion: Party Outfit Post

Hello everyone!

I absolutely love getting dressed up for a night out, it's one of my absolute favourite things. So when it was one of my friends birthday celebrations, I got super excited. Not only because we were all going out but because it was one of the first proper times seeing all my old friends since coming home from university from the summer. At the moment I am one hundred percent having a love affair with play suits. I don't normally go for red tones, but I really fell for this light burgundy colour. It buttons down and has lose shorts with a belt tie. I think that this not only looks so smart and classy, but a nice twist on a dress, which I would normally automatically opt for on a night out. I decided to pair these with slinky nude heels to keep this look neutral and fresh, as I am getting a bit bored of constantly wearing at least some sort of black - this outfit actually has none! This definitely makes it more summery. To go with this I styled my hair with loose waves and a glowey makeup look with lots of highlighter so that even if the sun isn't shining, I can at least pretend my face is reaping the benefits.

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed this outfit post! What's your go to outfit for a night out?

Fashion: Why Harem Pants Are The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Hello everyone! 

Today I wanted to talk about one of my favourite summer fashion staples, harem pants. These light, airy and baggy trousers are perfect for the warmer weather as an alternative for shorts if you don't fancy getting your legs out. They are also a great excuse to wear different prints, patterns and colours that you might other wise not feel confident enough to. There is such a range of different ones that you can buy! I got mine when I was in Turkey a couple of years ago and I love the bright and intricate prints. It makes it quote special as I know not many other people will have it! In my outfit I decided to pair my pants with a black cropped bardot top and some slip on silver shoes. I love this outfit because it's super summery and would be perfect for many occasions; picnics, bbqs, gatherings with friends. I also love wearing these when I travel because they are so comfortable and light which is exactly what you need when you're spending a lot of time on your feet.

Fashion: #OOTD

Hello everyone!

Happy Sunday, I'm back today with another outfit of the day post. I don't know about you but I absolutely love reading these. Getting to see what others wear in their day to day lives and get inspo for what I could wear is just fab. I am absolutely loving the fact that we are getting a bit of summer now here in the UK. I am lapping it up and making sure I make the most of getting my arms and legs out before we're back to rain and clouds again (which will inevitably happen soon). 

So for this outfit I decided to wear one of my favourite items in my wardrobe, my button up denim skirt from Miss Selfridge. I have been obsessed with these ever since they made a reappearance again from the nineties. They seem so girly and cute and a lovely alternative to wearing shorts all summer long. This one I picked up was an absolute STEAL from the sale last month at just £10 ( I was espescially happy because my sister paid full price for around £30 not long before, SCORE!)

Tucked into the skirt is such a simple but staple top in my wardrobe from boohoo. It is high necked and plain white, and goes with pretty much anything. I like the way that this style of top fits my body as it's comfortable and not too revealing whilst still accentuating my shape. It can be worn with skirts, shorts and jeans and be dressed up or down for any occasion - what more does any one need? I also feel that opting for a white top at this time of year instead of black or grey (my other staple colours) just makes the outfit so much more light and summery. 

Now for the main part of the outfit that I am absolutely obsessesed with - a khaki sleeveless blazer. Now first of all I'm going to make a bold statement: Khaki is my favourite colour for summer this year. Yep. Not pink, blue, yellow or any of the more bright colours you might associate with summer, but khaki. Firstly, it suits any skin tone, and will compliment you to make you look more glowy and tanned and summery (yay). Second of all, it just adds a bit of class and sophisitation to any outfit, and is a great pair with white or gold, which on holiday can be a gorgeous 'goddess' style look. This blazer in particular I think adds something extra and makes the outfit that more interesting. I topped off the outfit with my all time favourite chelsea boots that I've talked about a million times.
