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?

OOTD | Clueless





Jumper - Primark
Skirt - New Look (Kids section)
Necklace - Primark
Boots* - Bank
I am totally in love with this plaid/tartan skirt that i picked up last week! I found this in the kids section of New Look and if you've seen some of my outfit posts before i have found some real gems hidden in the kids section and for a MUCH cheaper price. This skirt was £7.99 (omg) plus my student discount on top which is an unbelievably cheap price for skirt like this, i know similar Missguided skirts are about £20 , every little helps when you're on a tight student budget! I have seen loads like this in black and pink so i'm quite taken by the pastel mint colour running through the plaid.

After wanting one of the cropped Primark fluffy jumpers for so long but seeing that they were all sold out i'm quite happy that i waited as if you've been in recently they have loads of new pastel coloured ones which are so beaut! I especially liked the pastel yellow one as its a colour i really don't wear at all, but of course my store didn't stock it and i couldn't wait for it so i opted for this lilac number instead which really contrasts against the colours of the skirt but still looks good and it will look SO nice with white skinny jeans in the summer eek!
Thank you for reading! This is slightly off topic but i would be so grateful if any of you who have flown with Ryanair before could answer my really short survey here (Takes about a minute!) Any answer is significant and i would be so grateful! Thank you!

What do you think of this outfit? Are you loving the plaids and fluffy jumpers combo too?
