Valentines Day Inspiration

With Valentines day fast approaching at the end of the week i have been spending so much time looking at inspiration on pinterest (nothing new there really!). It seems odd really that im not actually much of a fan of the big day and never have been,just some flowers and a card will do nicely! I just think it has become so commercialised and i think there shouldn't really be a specific day to share the love, it should be everyday for sure! When i lived in Finland last year their concept of Valentines was spot on, it was more about spreading the love and showing that you care about your friends which is something that should be done more! But regardless to this whatever you are doing and with whoever i hope you have a lovely day, James and i will probably just stay in with some food and a film, i am far more excited for LFW the next day and spending the weekend there! Anyway, here are some of my favourite ideas for Valentines, i hope you enjoy!
Setting the scene

Get creative

OOTD | Shop your stash

Cardigan - H&M Top - Charity Shop Skirt - Primark Tights - Primark Shoes - Primark
Yesterday i managed to find my outfit that i am going to wear to LFW for next weekend eek! It took more or less the whole afternoon but it was definitely worth it and i am soo excited for next weekend now, it has always been my dream to go  so i am literally shocked that i was even invited to a show after only blogging for half a year! Are any of you going to LFW too? Please let me know, i would love to meet some more lovely bloggers this year!
Anyway, i have seen a few bloggers doing a shop your stash post now and i think its such a great idea! If i could wear brand new clothes each day regardless of money then i would, as many of you probably would to! Shop your stash is about looking in your wardrobe and putting together something from what you already have. Its such a good idea and i often forget about what clothes i have lurking at the back of my wardrobe or crumpled on the floor! You probably recognise a few of these items from my previous outfit posts but the Swallow top i am wearing has never been worn and i bought it back in the summer. I don't know why I've not worn it before because i love the cute peter pan collar and it makes an outfit look quite smart and this would be a great look for work. The top actually came from a charity shop for a mere £1.50!! I have never had much luck with charity shops but i also ended up getting a leopard print Topshop cami for £1.50 which were both unworn! I never knew this before but the sales assistant told me that charity shops are given shops old stock completely for free! Such an amazing thing to do and it means that charity shops are definitely worth a look as you never know what you will find as well as the money going towards a good cause!
I hope you enjoyed my shop your stash post! If any of you have done a post like this leave your link below! I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
What do you think of this outfit? Do you like the shop your stash idea? Do you shop in charity shops?

Loreal Paris Mega Volume Miss Manga | Review

I'm not usually a person who finds a perfect mascara and settles down to using the same one again and again. I love trying out new releases and seeing how different one mascara can be to another as technically they all do the same thing, although they claim to do extra things such as extra volume and extended lashes.. My high end favourite has to be Benefit They're real but i am yet to find a good drugstore version until this one! I had a £1 off voucher for cosmetics in Boots which isn't much but every little helps when you're a student so i decided to pick up the Loreal Paris Mega Volume Miss Manga that i have seen reviewed widely across the blogging sphere recently.

I love the packaging that it comes in, the contrast between the black and pink side is perfect and its really simplistic. I purchased this at the cost of £8.99 from Boots in the colour black, but it can also be bought in violet and turqouise if you're feeling adventurous, I've personally never been able to pull off a coloured mascara!

 Before

After

Onto the product itself, the wand is fairly standard so nothing new there, the wand is so soft to brush onto your eyelashes, some mascaras i have used have hard wands which pull against your lashes so the softer bristles is a thumbs up from me! The wand perfectly covers all of my lashes and the smaller end is great at covering the inner and outer lashes which are sometimes hard to reach areas. I am so impressed with the end result (which you can see above) and i think it makes my lashes look much longer, and most importantly the lashes don't look clumpy or like spider webs! This has definitely become my new firm favourite at the cheaper end of the spectrum and i actually prefer it to Maybelline falsies which i have repurchased before!

What do you think of the result? Have you tried this mascara before? Whats your favourite drugstore mascara?

OOTD | New Look buys

Jumper - New Look T-shirt - New Look Jeans - New Look Necklace - New Look Coat - Zara Boots* - Bank
Hi everyone, i hope you all had a lovely weekend whatever you got up to! I have spent my weekend revising for an exam today which is why there hasn't been a new post in a few days! Anyway, as i mentioned in a previous post i won £100 New Look vouchers in a blog competition so this is why i am practically wearing everything from new look in this outfit! I am in love with all of New Looks spring range, especially their Love Label section which has so many nice pastel coloured clothing and which is so cheap! This heart t shirt i have on underneath is really oversized,they didn't have my size so i just opted for a size 10 as i love baggy clothes. Its going to look really good in the summer over the top of swimwear or just with skinny jeans as well! I also had to purchase another kind of fluffy jumper, i will never get enough of fluffy clothing and i love this pastel jumper addition to my wardrobe!
What do you think of this outfit? Do you like New Looks spring range too? What shops are your favourite for Spring/Summer clothing?
