want; floral blush



Oh my gosh, this tailored jumpsuit is just perfect! I love this stone colour + the how the fit is slightly masculine yet so ladylike. Reiss have really been excelling in my eyes lately, shame my student budget make these garments ever so out of reach, boo! Since winter's bitter rein appears to be coming to an end I've started to think of treating myself to a Spring time fragrance. Marc Jacob's are great at creating perfumes that bring back summer memories; I've not yet smelt this Sunshine Daisy but hoping it doesn't disappoint.

I've really been enjoying experimenting with eye shadow looks lately + have really fallen in love with this Benefit palette! I love how versatile this Topshop shirt is; it'll look great with a pair of patterned taper trousers like these bargain H&M ones, disco pants + even boyfriend jeans which I am strangely loving lately. Another Marc Jacob's beauty in the form of this rose gold watch, possibly a graduation present to myself... 

I see my style going quite ladylike recently, especially in footwear. As well as pointed toe courts, I am seriously lusting after these strappy sandals, especially as Primark have offered up a pair for just £12. I'm going shopping for the first time in a looong time Sunday, I'm scared for my bank cards sake eep!

barry m gelly hi-shine in lychee


I am loving nude nails at the moment! I'm normally a pastel pink kind of girl but neutral, sandy tones with a slick of glitter top-coat is my manicure of choice as of late. I've heard some rave reviews about the Barry M Gelly range so when I saw that Boots had a 'buy 2 Barry M Nail Paints get £1 off' offer on Saturday my inner bargain hunter took over. I regained some control + stopped myself at two but I love so many of the colours in the range so can see myself buying a lot more!

The shade I was immediately drawn to is Lychee, a gorgeous light, sandy, greige nude. This finish has an amazing shine + it dries so quick which is a major plus for me! I'm wearing three coats in the image above, mainly out of habit as it was perfectly opaque after two. Though I don't really keep the same nail polish on for too long; this lasted a night out + a day in London with no chips, impressive! I'm totally in love with these polishes; I already bought Prickly Pear but can also see me treating myself to some of the other brights seeing as we're Spring seems to be just around the corner, finally!

sunday post #027

spur of the moment at home dye job; the results first time round; surprise valentines roses; mexican night; sky on the way to birmingham; hotel la tour; hungover shopping trip in selfridges; amazing kurt geiger heels; thirsty fun; getting used to being a brunette; candles make me happy; bath time treats.

February has well + truly run away with us; I can't believe it's the first of March Friday, craaazy stuff! I've had a nice couple of weeks, even if I've probably spent a little too much time doing my own thing + not spending enough time doing university work, oopsie! As you can see from the images above, I've gone brunette! Bit of a change to the dark blonde + super bleach ombré that I was sporting a few weeks ago but I'm slowly getting used to it. My hair grows so slow I thought I'd give it a helping hand + lay off the bleach tones just while it gets past the awkward-shoulder-length-stage which it's been at for years now! I'm going to just leave it be for the time being + hopefully get some natural honey toned highlights put through it come Easter! Gosh us girls can blab on about our hair eh?!
