OOTD: Casual brights.

Yesterday the sun was shining so bright! It was amazing, finally London was getting a sprinkle of summer. I met up with a friend I haven't seen in a while and went shopping and out for a quick dinner.

I decided to wear bright colours as knowing England I probably wont be able to do so for a while!

Top - H&M

Leather Look Skirt - InLoveWithFashion

Black Frilly Socks - Topshop

Jordan 5 Bright Citrus

I also wore a black leather jacket on top for when it got a little chilly later in the evening. The bag I carried was the Orange Zara bag featured in my earlier blog post about the Beyonce concert.

This outfit was perfect, comfortable enough to shop all day and look stylish! It's also the first time I had EVER worn my Jordan's out ... In fact they're my first pair of Jordan's!

Fresh Scents.

Hey guys,

Lately I've been obsessed with finding things to decorate my room with. At the moment its a very girly yet sophisticated pastel pink with a cornflour blue accent wall, I adore these two colours together, I find them really calming after a long day of work or shopping!

To give my room an even more sophisticated, almost grown up look I've been looking around for little decorative pieces, i.e vases, photo frames etc.

I was looking at candles and naturally I went straight to Yankee candles, EVERYONE loves Yankees! Luckily they had and offer on: Medium 2 wick tumbler candles for £10. It was exactly what I was looking for, I love 2 wick candles. They did have a limited selection (about 20 candles) so there wasn't heaps to choose from. I was looking for spring time scents, floral, fruity, ocean like; I love matching scents to the current season.

I came across 2 scent's that I thought would be really interesting and fit perfectly with what 'should' be spring/summer.

This first candle I got was 'Vanilla Lime'. It's a perfectly balanced mix of the two flavours so it doesn't smell sour or cake like. The perfect amount of citrus. Also vanilla is one of my all time favourite scents for the home.

The second, and probably my favourite scent is the 'Waikiki Melon' flavour. Oh my goodness, I absolutely detest eating melon so I was a bit sceptical about this candle but as soon as I took my first sniff I fell in love. Probably the sweetest melon scent. Also has this slight floral undertone to it. Vibrant and energising, the best smell to come home to.

What I love about Yankee candles is that they're not overpowering, the burn well (you don't get the dip in the middle where most the candle is left of the sides) and they last pretty long. Although they are a little pricey I think they're great value for money!

I've been alternating scents each day so they both get a fair use.

I really want to smell the 'Pineapple Cilantro' scent that Yankee do, I can imagine it being almost edible.

What scents do you like to burn in your room or home?

Hope your boudoirs smell amazing like mine! x

Skincare Regime.

Hey readers. Yet again it's been about 2 weeks or more since my last post, I'm sorry! Working 2 jobs back to back has left me with no time to myself :(

Alas here I am, posting, about how I've been able to keep my face looking alive and well, while I actually feel like a zombie.

About 3/4 weeks ago I decided it was time to introduce a skin care regime into my daily craziness. A friend of mine introduced me to Liz Earle products a few years back so I immediately went to look at those products. After having a good ol' chit chat with one of the staff she recommended the 'cleanse and polish hot cloth cleanser'

I got the cleanse and polish hot cloth starter kit as I had never used it before. 

The kit contains: the hot cloth cleanser. 2 muslin cloths and it comes with a handy travel bag. 

The actual cleanser is superb, it has a nice calming scent to it. It has a pump nozzle so I just pump some of the product onto my fingers (foam/creamy consistency) and rub it into my face and neck. It rubs in clear. Almost like cream just with a bit more shine.

I then get my muslin cloth and dip it into some hand hot water and begin rubbing off the product. The muslin cloths help to exfoliate my skin. Instantly my skin feel smoother and look well moisturised. 

Once I've washed my face I use the Liz Earle instant skin boost tonic. 

I just swipe this all over my face and neck to help lock in moisture.

I do that morning and night everyday, it's really helped the condition of my skin. It used to be constantly dry now it is the complete opposite. 

What I love about these 2 products is that they're for all skin types and they're easy to use, no mess at all!

For moisturising my face I use Nivea Q10 products.

Nivea Q10 is an anti wrinkle range, although I don't have any wrinkles or lines you can never be too young to use anti wrinkle cream! The consistency of these creams is rather thick which is great for people with drier skin. They're extremely moisturising, once I put it on I don't need to cream my face again for the day, which is rare for me!

The only reason I didn't get the Liz Earle moisturise cream is because I already had the Nivea creams. I look forward to trying it soon though!

The combination of these products work great for me and finally I've found a skin regime to stick to and that works!!

Happy reading xx

Bow Down for Mrs Carter.

Terribly sorry, so much going on with work and an attempted social life and holidays!

This will just be a really quick post for now.

So Sunday 5th May 2013, a date I will never forget for the rest of my life ... I WENT TO A BEYONCE CONCERT!

I'm literally sat here spazzing as I type, I can't even begin to explain how amazing the show was! Beyonce is a true performer and a spectacular artist.

At work we have a V.I.P box in the o2 arena, I was lucky enough to win 2 tickets in the ballot, so I took my concert buddy and good friend along with me.

My outfit for the night was pretty simple, yet perfect for spring.

Blazer - Forever 21

Camisole - Topshop

Patterned Trousers - River Island

Shoes - Forever 21

Bag - Zara

I'm completely obsessed with this bag! I really love the bright orange against the plain canvas of my camisole and blazer, it makes it POP.

The trousers from River Island were great to wear to the concert, they are quite loose fitting, so I was able to boogie the night away. I opted for simple white canvas flats with a few diver studs on them.

No jewellery, I'm still trying to get used to wearing any!

Our view from the suite was AMAZING! 

Although we were pretty far back the Queen was directly in front of me! That black platform in the middle was like a mini stage that she also came on to. I barely took any photos as the lights were directly in front of us, making it difficult to capture anything.

After the show ended we stayed a while in the suite to just reflect on what just happened, we were crying! literally, we had tears streaming down our faces. We were completely and utterly mesmerised.

I spent £40 on merchandise! A little much but I thought I may as well, when am I going to get to see Beyonce live in concert again!?

BOW DOWN B*TCHES!!

P.S. I have a HUGE haul to post, like, ridiculously humongous. I may even do a post about my Holiday to Turkey 2 weeks ago. Look out for them soon!
