MY WARDROBE // Triangl bikini

I can't BELIEVE i've only just got round to writing a post about my gorgeous Triangl bikini that kindly got sent to me! I think it's because the weather has just been awful in England so I haven't been that motivated. This post is really just for me to write about the bikini and review it - i'm hopefully going to do a more professional post in the summer when the weather is slightly better and I can accessorise it etc. 

So, I got sent the California Coral bikini which is an absolutely gorgeous colour for summer because it's just so pink! I think the black outline that Traingl use on their bikinis are more flattering than other bikinis because they make your body/bikini look really structured and defined - if you know what I mean! The material feels really good quality and is comfortable on your skin, I like the material because it feels different to other swimwear and you can tell it's made of good stuff and is sturdy so you're boobs are going to flop out or anything! (Not that I have any boob to flop out to be brutally honest...) but anyway, i'm really pleased with the bikini and you guys should definitely make an investment for this summer - I understand that they are marginally more expensive than other bikinis from high street stores but it really is worth it because they are beautiful and are bound to last a long time! You can find my bikini here on the website. I've been asked a few times on my Instagram what sizes I chose and I got XS in both the top and bottoms and I find they fit perfectly. 

Let me know what you guys think on my Instagram or comment on here! Oh and apologies for the serious unprofessional photo but it's just to give an idea of what it looks like on x

WISHLIST // Monochrome

Hello lovelies,
Sorry I haven't posted in ages, just been so busy with school and work etc! I haven't done a wish list in a while so I thought I would treat you to some Missguided, Topshop, Public Desire, New Look and Shade London treats! I've got a bit of a confession, my style has really changed (or gone back to how it was before) these last few weeks so there's not sign of pastels in this post! I'm so sorry but come on everyone wears them now it's getting a little boring so I thought I would revisit the monochrome trend which I famously love and also promised I wouldn't buy any more of - that didn't last long! I guess I just feel more comfortable in less 'girly' clothes - even though I am the girliest girl you will ever meet! Don't worry I still love my pastels but this is more appropriate for me at the moment and I hope you like it too! Also i've bolded my favourites, enjoy x 

1. Retro print co-ord - link to the top here and the bottoms here

3. Black triangle V bralet - link here

MY WARDROBE // Nudes

Hi guys, i've been slacking and haven't done a blog post in ages and then remembered I got sent some lovely clothes from FD Avenue! You can find their website here. My favourite piece in this outfit is the fluffy pink cropped jumper - you can find it from FD Avenue here for £18.99. It's a perfect colour for Spring on the not-so-warm days and it's not too thick either so you don't overheat as these fluffy knits can sometimes be too hot. The skirt I actually got from Missguided and it was a complete bargain - £6.49! You can find it here and you can also get it in a variation of different colours. Again also a perfect colour for summer and so comfy - make sure you have some white pants that don't give you VPL though because it's really stretchy and kinda see-through haha! Also I think you should all admire my newly threaded and tinted eyebrows as I got them done today ;-) i've discover that getting your eyebrows threaded is one of the single most painful things ever! If you have any more questions or whatever just email me or comment! Enjoy x

SKINCARE // Liz Earle

So these are the products I use that seem to work the best on my skin. I have fairly sensitive skin so not many products work really well! Liz Earle is a naturally active skincare range and they are a Great British beauty brand - all the products smell gorgeous too!
 
The first thing I use is the Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser - the cheapest one is £13.25 but I tend to get the 200ml because it lasts longer which is £24.75! It is extremely gentle on your skin and leaves your face feeling really soft! You massage it into your face when it is still dry and then using the hot cloth (which you can buy here 2 for £4.25) you wipe it off and then to finish quickly splash your face with cold water to close your pores. Although I don't use it at the moment (but I have before) I would advise using the toner after cleansing your skin - you can get it here for £13.25 - this also leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed! To view all of the Liz Earle daily basics click here.
 
After doing this I use the Gentle Face Exfoliator and you can find it here for £14.00. I use this because my skin is slightly prone to blackheads and visible pores and gentle exfoliators are perfect for this if your skin is sensitive like mine! It also leaves your skin feeling really soft and moisturised. To view the whole exfoliator and mask range click here. Overall I would recommend Liz Earle products, even if they are slightly more expensive than high street brands, the products do actually work and are really good for your skin in comparison to products that actually target spots and blemish's - these can be way too harsh for my skin!
 
Anyway if you have anymore questions do not hesitate to comment or email me and please remember to follow me on Instagram! Enjoy x

MY WARDROBE // Amelia Jane London scrunchies

This week I received a lovely parcel of goodies from the girls at Amelia Jane London and you can find there website here - they sell womens accessories! They sent me a lovely selection of scrunchies and an adorable pastel pink pom pom keyring! I chose the pink scrunchie to team with this outfit - the midi skirt was from Primark - only £12.00 and is perfect for summer really light and 'swooshy' haha! The chunky mint green knit is from boohoo and is only £15.00 and comes in loads of different colours - you can find it here. You guys know where the nude top is from from my previous posts - look at them for the link! I look more chubby in these photos compared to usual but I promise you it's the jumper not me!

Anyway I am extremely grateful for my new collection of scrunchies from Amelia Jane London and please please please head over to their website to check out their products! If you have any further questions do not hesitate to email me - enjoy x

MY WARDROBE // Dogtooth and PVC

To be honest I have a massive dislike for these photos because it was too windy and freezing but I got all ready so we took them anyway! This outfit isn't exactly one of my favourites but this coat is! I got the coat from Topshop as "my winter coat" and it was £79.00 - I don't think they stock it anymore because I bought it a good 4-5 months ago but you can have a look! The skirt was also from Topshop and I got it in the sale a while back for £15.00 but you can find skirts like this everywhere for example Missguided here for £17.99 - PVC is very on trend this season but I want to get it in some paler/pastel colours for summer! American Apparel do some lovely PVC skirts like this but obviously very expensive! The top is from Missguided and you can get it in lilac and blue too and you can find the link to it on my "spring is on it's way" post. Ah, these boots were from New Look and you can find them here for only £14.99 in the sale which is good because I paid at least £30 for mine including postage! They also stock them on ASOS which is where I got mine from because they ran out of my size on the New Look website. You can find Chelsea Boots like this in most shops and they are perfect for summer because you can team them which either jeans or a cute day dress! 
By the way I apologise for how gross my hair looks in some of these photos because it was ridiculously windy so i'm sporting the windswept look (which I can't say is an attractive one)!  Remember to follow me on Instagram and email me for any further questions or enquiries x

MY WARDROBE // What I wore today

The rain finally stopped so we could go out and take some photos - bloody april showers! I guess this is just a post about what I wore today really nothing majorly special but just love the outfit and continuing with the pastels - pink and blue! You've probably noticed i've already done a post with this shirt but in Pink, this shirt was from Fashion Union and you can find it here in the sale for just £8.00 now - bargain! You already know where the jeans are from from my last post and the jellies are from New Look for £14.99 here and they also come in black and white, they're just perfect for summer and so girly! Also my nail varnish is just a mint green one from Barry M - it needs a couple of layers because the colour is pale! I really want the weather to warm up so I can wear my new skirts etc it's still a bit chilly and always raining - anyway remember to follow me on Instagram and bloglovin etc etc and watch this space for more posts soon with nudes and mint green! Enjoy x
