OOTD : Sunshine & Pineapples


Hat - H&M
Sunglasses - Ralph Lauren
Floral Tassle Kimono - New Look
Top - New Look
Ripped Mom Jeans - New Look
White Buckle Boots - New Look
Rose Gold Watch - Folli Follie

Hello you lovely lot :) I'm back again with another fashion based post, I'm finding them alot more fun than I used too you know!
With the sun creeping in and out of our lives at the moment it's a struggle to know what to wear from one day to the next which is a total pet peeve of mine!

As soon as I see the sun and I'm not at work I love being able to head to my wardrobe and pick out something fun and colourful. 
I am LOVING kimono's at the moment, I'm not overly confident with my body just right now so I find them so comfortable.
The 'mom' jeans are a pair I got in the sale a few months ago and I have really been enjoying owning and wearing something that isn't 'skinny' styled. 
Also how gorgeous is this necklace? The lovely people at Jewel Street contacted me a little while ago about their site and after spending hours browsing through everything I decided to go for this cute pineapple pendant from Florelli and I'm so pleased with it. I'm a big fan of gold and I know I'm going to be wearing this alot over the Summer, it's a great length too which is always good.
 I've been wearing it alot with my roll neck top aswell and it goes so well!

Do You Pinky Promise?

Daisy-Mae Jewellery Pinky Promise Necklace*

Do you pinky promise? ...
 Something I say probably more than I should being a 25 year old adult.
It's true I use this sign of a promise and trust with both my friends and my boyfriend (as much as he hates it!) all the time and have done for years.
So I fell in love with this necklace as soon as I saw it.

You may have spotted this on my Instagram earlier in the week, I've had it for a while now and worn it a good few times but haven't shared it with you guys yet ... naughty Kirstie!

Daisy-Mae Jewellery is a UK based jewellery company which was created over 2 years ago in April 2013. Daisy-Mae Martin handmakes the majority of the pieces and has everything from anklets to macaroon storage pots (they are adorable) on her gorgeous site.

The pinky promise necklace is only £4.50.... which I cannot believe. What an absoulte barry bargain. Yes, these aren't real silver but as a cute little statement to snazz up your outfit these are a total steal.
The chain length is 18in and you can see whereabouts it sits - here in my photo.
A perfect present for a bestie or maybe even a little treat for yourself, I for one am going to be heading back to this site when it's birthday and Christmas season!

My Dolly Bow Bow Wishlist


Dolly bow bow, I'm guessing you've all heard of it right?
 Well, if you haven't I'm guessing you're new to the internet or something!
Dolly bow bow is a cute, girly, kitsch and basically all round pretty website and webstore run by blogger and youtuber extraordinaire Kate Murnane!

I first stumbled upon Kate's YouTube channel probably around 4 years ago now and I immediately got hooked on watching her Primark hauls and favourites videos plus I'm not going to lie.... had some major hair envy going on! 
This girl loves shopping and has a fab sense of style so everytime I watched her videos I had mental wishlists so long they were coming out of my ears!

Since starting my own blog, moving out, working full-time etcetc my time for 'YouTube watching' seems to have dramatically decreased (I can no longer have 'watch the shaytards new video' in my morning routine boooo) but I always make sure I try and catch Kate's videos when she uploads them and her past few have been super heart-warming and sweet as she's had gorgeous baby Archie!

Anyway I've totally digressed there!
 I've always been a fan of Kate's website of the same title - Dolly Bow Bow, making a few orders over the last few years and after not visiting it for a while I decided to have a cheeky look this week after spotting Kate rocking a gorgeous necklace and I fell in love with so much on there!

So here's a little Wishlist of those bits I've been eying up, make sure you go on over and have a look for yourself and don't forget to check out Dolly Bow Bow's YouTube and blog, you won't regret it!


Double Heart Necklace | Pomegranate & Green Tea Candle | Perriwinkle Stone Bracelet | Evie Statement Necklace | Day Dreamer Floral Crown

My Festival Style & What's In My Festival Beauty Bag?

With festival season well underway and with Bestival (my fav) on the horizon I thought what better thing to do, in true beauty/fashion blogger style, than to share with you guys a cheeky Festival look and also my top beauty essentials for a Festival!

Recently Folli Follie asked me if I would like to join their My Festival Style campaign. I am a huge festival lover as you may already know. Living on the doorstep of two of the UK's biggest I always love to spend weeks and weeks planning my outfits for the weekend aswell as my hair & make-up choices (am I sad? no! I'm a girl!)
So obviously this campaign was right up my street and I jumped at the chance to be involved, with millions of ideas for outfits flooding my mind I settled for this one - something I can hopefully wear to Bestival in a few weeks time (*praying*)
Hat : Primark
Sunglasses : Primark
Necklace* : Folli Follie
Dress : Fashion Union
Watch* : Folli Follie
Bag : ASOS
Wellies : Hunter

So with the sun shining and music on I've gotten in the funky festival mood! I love this dress, it is from Fashion Union but I managed to get it half price in a sale at New Look! It's super comfy and as much as I love the look of playsuits in the summer - they aren't always festival practical!
This hat is something I was a little nervous about buying, it's a little OTT for me but it was a total bargain in Primark and I actually really like how it looks! Hat's are great, especially when it's sunny and you're outside for most of the day - protect yourselves people! Wellies are essential.... as well as sunglasses!

Folli Follie were so so lovely to send me some gorgeous items to help perfect my Festival look! I think a watch is a must have item for a Festival, with bands on at certain times and meeting people left, right and centre - you need to know the time 24/7! Yes we all have phones but when you're in a crowd or in a muddy field you don't always want to have to delve around in your bag to find your phone! 
This watch is gorgeous, it is the Watchalicious Watch* (best name ever!) It's a super pretty rose gold (blogger fav right?) and I love that is doesn't look too bulky even on my tiny wrist! I have literally worn it everyday since receiving it, incredible quality and soooo pretty - I mean... look at it! 
And the necklace, oh I love the necklace! It is the Rose Gold Carma Necklace* and it's gorgeous I'm obsessed, it goes with so much, I'm proper chuffed with it! (Yes, I just used the word chuffed!)

Now, style part down let's hit the beauty bits! Even though, yes there may be mud, there may be smelly toilets - hell, there may even be sick - us girls still want our beauty products near us at all times right? Why should a Festival be any different?
These are things that I always take with me and use when heading to a Festival.
Floral headbands ..... a total obvious cliche choice I know. But..... they look pretty and can seriously hide a bad hair day! I love this red and pink one from New Look* and the baby pink one I've had for years, they finish off a cute outfit perfectly.
False eyelashes are a must have for me at a festival! No worrying about re-applying mascara all day, these make anyone look glam and you can go as big as you want at a festival, anything goes! My favs are 107's or 101's from Eylure.

Eyeshadows after a whole day at the festival don't always look the best (well on me anyway!) as much as I'd love to have some crazy mutli-coloured look I always stick to my trusty neuttals! The Naked Basics* palette is perfect for me, so compact and gorgeous shades! (I'm such a wimp when it comes to eyeshadows!)

Lip products that are a 2 in 1 are also up there with my favourite things to take to a Festival! The new baby lips electro are perfect, amazing colour whilst keeping your lips hydrated!
It get hot seriously hot and sweaty in all those crowds so the Liz Earle Skin Tonic Spritzer is perfect for keeping you feeling refreshed and awake, I love spraying this across my chest and up my arms!

You wanna smell nice during your weekend of fun don't you? Travalo's are a godsend. I have used these for years and they were just made for things like this! Pump your favourite perfumes into the handy tiny atomizer! As well as this why not get some testers to take with you aswell? The new Hugo Boss Ma Vie* is gorgeous (you got even put a tester into your Travalo!
Suncream is a must, protecting your skin and doubling up as a moisturiser too! For my hair Umberto Giannini's Backcomb In A Bottle* is fab for keeping all that mane how you want it and looking big, bouncy and fabulous, plus a dry shampoo is a must for a weekend of madness, I love this one by Aussie
Tissues, tissues, tissues, you will be using poratloos alot.... lots of drinks are to blame there and there isn't always loo roll so I have have a pack of tissues in my bag constantly..... just hide them when your in the queue otherwise every Tom, Dick and Harry will be asking you for one!
Back to talking about portaloo's and all those other grimey places you'll come across.... anti-bac gel will make you feel alot better about life!

So there you are, a little look at a festival wardrobe idea and my fav beauty bits to take with me! Thanks so much Folli Follie for getting me involved, I love anything to do with Festivals and I've found this so much fun!

Have you been to any Festivals this year? Going to any?

 Now I haven't done an outfit post in a long while and this post has me super nervous for some reason!

So here is a quick outfit of the day! Not too keen on how I look here but hoping you guys can see past the thighs and bingo wings on display!
I have only just started wearing blue jeans again, for years I have relied on black but I plucked up the courage recently and bought a new pair from New Look ready for spring/summer.



Cannot believe my puppy  marked my top with his paws!!! Ruined top & photo right there! Naughty dog! 

Top : New Look
Jeans : New Look
Shoes : Primark
Scarf : Local Store - Splash
Necklace : New Look
Hair : Dirty Looks Quad Piece (from my HK Extensions(*))
