Top Ten Things in My Wardrobe

I have SO many clothes in my wardrobe and I found it near impossible to choose my favourites! But here are my top ten favourite things in order.

10. Paper Pork Pie Hat

Number 10 on my list is my pork pie hat. It's really cute and playful to wear in the summer with a little dress or shorts and a top. I first found this when I saw one of my friends wearing one and simply had to buy it. There were loads of different colours but I decided on this rather natural straw colour. It was £10 from Topshop when I bought it however now it is £22. I really recommend it!



9. Pink Hollister Hoodie

This is my all time favourite hoodie! Its really snuggly and warm and it's one of my favourite brands Hollister. I love wearing it in the Winter! I bought this in America and I can't find it on the Hollister UK website but I'm sure there are similar Hollister jumpers out there! The only downside of this was the cost as Hollister things can be quite expensive however I have definitely got the wear out of it!



8. Bird T-Shirt

This is a really cute t-shirt! I love the light pink colour and the little birds are really cute. The t-shirt is quite short but not quite short enough to be considered a crop top and has a really wide scoop neck which makes it look really nice. This top was from New Look however I can't see it on the website any more.




7. Red Skinny Jeans

These are great! I love the red colour of the jeans its kind of a burgundy colour. The jeans are a really light denim and they aren't heavy like some other jeans. They were from Primark and they came in so many colours I had to restrain myself from buying more. They were also quite cheap which was a bonus!




6. Light Denim Shorts

These are my favourite shorts ever! They're so so cute and I love light denim so these are perfect! They go with almost everything as they are so simple and they are really fun to wear in the summer. Even though you don't see the lining I think the pattern is so cute and I absolutely love them! They were from Primark and they were around £5 I think so I bought some other pairs too! I also have them in a darker denim and a purpley-bluey kind of colour but my favourites are these ones.



5. Mickey Mouse Top

This top is so cute! I love the light pink colour and also the subtle pattern on it. The Mickey Mouse on it is really fun and I love wearing it to remind me of the summer! I bought this is Disney so it has them extra special memories for me! I love it!



4. Blue Diamanté Shoulder Denim Shirt

Number 4 on my list is my denim shirt! I love this one! I was first a bit sceptical about buying a denim shirt as I felt they weren't very 'me' however I'm so glad I did! I love the diamanté shoulder detail as I think it glams it up a bit however it is still very casual. It can be worn with so many things including wearing it double denim! It was £19.99 from New Look.



3. Black Lace Up Ankle Boots

Everyone should own some of these shoes! They are so so versatile, comfy and just plain perfect! I love the simplicity of them as it means I can wear them with every outfit! They can be dressed down or up with ease. They are so comfy and I really recommend them to anyone as they are really on trend right now! They were £17.99 from New Look.



2. Swallow Print Peter Pan Dress.

 This is such a cute dress! The gorgeous swallow print paired with the nipped in waist and peter pan collar really is amazing! Its so light and just beautiful! I love the navy blue colour and I think this dress is perfect for summer. This really deserves number 2 on my list and I just love it! It is £12.99 from New Look.



1. Red Skater Skirt

Number 1 on my list is my Red Embroidered Skater Skirt! I loved it so much. It buttons down the front and the cute embroidered pattern is so beautiful! I can wear it with so much stuff and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone! I basically live in it! It comes in so many colours and was £18.99 on boohoo.com which I believe is great value for money! 



Thank you for reading my wardrobe favourites post! See you again soon - Stay Beautiful!

What's in my make-up bag?

As a huge fan of all things beauty-related you can tell I have a make-up bag full to the brim! Here I'm going to share with you a few things!

This is my make-up bag! Its really cute and it holds quite a lot. I don't know where i got it from or how much it was but if you do some sleuthing you might find it! 



Rimmel Clear Complexion Powder - 021 Transparent

I love love love this product! It gives really nice light coverage and is quick and easy to pop in your handbag for light touch ups throughout the day to minimise a shiny face! It lasts for around 5 hours. I bought a powder puff from my local chemist for around 50p and it fits nicely in the top for ease of application. The product was was £3.99 from Boots. 



Collection 2000 Colour Intense Trio Eye-shadow - 11 Mocha Choc

This is a great product! I have had a lot of use out of this product as I have owned it for a long time. It goes onto the eyelid easily is blendable (I think that's a made up word!) and it is also crease resistant. It was only £2.99 from Boots so it most definitely wont break the bank either! The packaging has changed slightly since I bought mine but you can still get it. There are also other colour palettes to choose from.



Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash - 1 Xtra Black

This is a great mascara! It gives a really thick and black coat with just one application and can be enhanced with 2 coats. It can get a little clumpy at times and if you don't like thick brushes then I wouldn't recommend this product for you however I love it! It was only £1.99 from Superdrug so it's a really cheap product to simply slip in your handbag for daytime touch ups as well as being great for going out partying!





Revlon Just Bitten Lip-Stain and Balm - Passion

I find this product okay but it's not my favourite. Its quite a bright pink colour and it can look a little bit overpowering and it doesn't go with much however sometimes it can look very pretty when worn with the right things. I also own this product in 'Gothic' and although that sounds like black it's actually a rather pretty bright red! I like the products very much because they stay on your lips for a long time even after eating, drinking etc. but the colours are slightly garish. One of the really good things about this product is the balm on the end! It makes the finish on the stain really great and you will always have it with you! The packaging and colour names have changed since I bought this and I think the colours are slightly better so maybe I will have to invest in some as I love the product otherwise! They are available from Boots for £7.99. 




Collection 2000 Fast Stroke Eyeliner - 1 Black

I love this product! It goes onto my eyelids so smoothly and its neat little nib makes application SO simple and easy. Its also really great for creating little flicks and other cute details on your eyes too. Its doesn't come off however if you rub your eyes frequently it can smudge a little although I think you can just about make it through the day! It comes in a really strong black colour and is £2.99 from Superdrug.



Collection 2000 Cover Up Stick - Light Translucent

This product is one of my least favourite products in my make-up bag. In my opinion it doesn't go onto the skin very well and looks clumpy and out of place on blemishes. Its quite stiff to apply and I don't think it is a very good product. I bought it at Boots but I can't see it on their website any more. You can, however, get it from www.collectioncosmetics.co.uk for £1.99 in three colours honey beige, natural beige and light.


L'Oreal Paris Infallible Brush - 125 Natural Rose

I love this stuff! It goes onto my skin really nicely and cleanly and gives a really good coverage. It doesn't feel heavy or sticky and lasts for the whole day. There are a number of colours and they match lots of different skin tones! I don't wear foundation a lot but I do really enjoy wearing this product and I really recommend it! This product is £12.99 from Boots.

I hope you enjoyed that little peek into my make-up bag! Until next time - Stay Beautiful!
