On Sundays

Boyf and I sadly ended up having to chamge our plans so we have been chilling and trying to make the most of freedom! I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and here are some things I've been loving lately. 

The Olympics has brought out some great photos. This one of Usain Bolt and this one of Jess Ennis Hill are brilliant.

This video of Trump supporters is ridiculous.

How jazzy is this song called Karina?!

Pantone cafe!

I cannot get enough of Rosie's Instagram.

Although Summer is quickly leaving us, I loved this post for Summer reading.

Do you have runner's knee? I certainly do!

M&S have got a huge sale going on right now.

Have a great weekend!

On Mondays

I know, I know what you're probably thinking. She doesn't normally post about Mondays? But seeing as July saw me quite absent from the blog, I thought we might as well shake things up a bit! 

A lot has happened. 

July saw me move back home, watch the boyf graduate, graduate myself as well as fill my days with anything at all. I have read numerous books. Cleared through old magazines like there is no tomorrow. Celebrated birthdays. Eaten way too much food. Met new people. Organised my beauty collection (I do not need anything.)
Now we are over a week into August (already!) and here is a Sunday-meets-Monday post for you, filled with the things that I've been loving lately.

I (finally!) bought this plate and the matching cup from H&M.

I am absolutely loving Bear's Den and Blossoms music wise.

I am currently in a phase of trying to make bendy rollers a thing.

Mac Velvet Teddy. Enough said.

These M&S glasses are my new favourites.

After seeing the poster at tube stations, I've just watched the trailer for Wiener-Dog; definitely on my must-see list!

I recently acquired a Jack Wills rucksack; their bags are so en pointe.

It's the Olympics! I'm finding Google the best way to keep up with it all.

I am really appreciating having started my One Line a Day Diary last year; reading back what I was doing is really really nice.

This Boots Time Delay moisturiser is my new favourite.

If I wore glasses, I would definitely buy this Paperchase case.

It took me a half hour at least to unsubscribe from Apple Music; unsubscribe today from everything you're accidentally paying for!

The Garnier Ultimate Blends Collection have been the cause of me receiving a fair few comments on the condition of my hair lately; the Honey Restorer is the way to go!

How was your July?!

On Sundays

Happy Sunday everyone! I have quite a few updates today! I had my last exam on Friday and have now completely finished my degree! Boyf and I then ran 10K this morning in the Two Castles Run; it was wet and cold but we did it! (I didn't beat my personal best, but I still did it!) Here are a few things I've been looking at this week:

This Blake Lively hair and make up how to. 

I went on a bit of a blush binge and got this and this (the Nars!)

This photo coincidence is insane!

I sort of, only partly, forced Boyf to watch Crazy, Stupid, Love last night. David Linghoggen! It's such a good film!

I'm really intrigued by this Candle Subscription Box.

I really like this dress; so many colours! 

We are going to try New Blood tonight; have you seen it yet?

Have a good week!

This time next week I will only have one exam remaining and then I am finished with university! It's been a bit of a slog to power through these last few days, however visiting three different coffee shops has certainly helped! 

How has your week been? I hope more fun than mine! 

Meanwhile, here are a few things I've been enjoying from around the web.

My sister and I mean to do one of these every year. This year will be the year! (I'm definitely tempted by the make your own stationery one (p.s. did you see this?)

I really want to read this over the summer.

After reading this article, I now really want these (K obviously!)

The boyf and I watched this the other night. So cute.

Currently living in these shorts.

It was Eurovision last night!

Have a good Sunday!

On The Met Gala 2016

Every year the Metropolitan Museum of Art hosts 'The Met Gala'; an annual fundraising event for the Costume Institute. Every year this means that on the first Monday of May we see dozens of glamorous red-carpet looks, all under one theme. This years theme was 'Manus x Machina: Fashion in the Age of Technology'; a theme that focused upon the ever growing debate as to whether Fashion counts as Art. 

This year however, I just feel a bit underwhelmed by the fashion. The make up saw some great looks but some of the fashion was just a bit too much or a little weird. Don't get me wrong; there were some gorgeous looks. Adriana Lima for one. Maybe my hopes were just too high this year!

Check out some of the looks below.

Poppy Delevigne in Marchesa.

Juno Temple in Erdem.

Wendy Dong Murdoch.

Rita Ora in Vera Wang.

Emily Ratajkowski in Prabal Gurung.

Misty Copeland.

Taylor Swift.

Nicole Kidman in Alexander McQueen.

Adriana Lima in Giambattista Valli Haute Couture.
Mindy Kaling in Tory Burch.

Emma Watson in Calvin Klein.

Autumnal

Hat | Cape | Boots

I love Autumn. It is definitely my favourite season (remember when I was living in Madison and nobody knew Autumnal was a word?) I love the fashion, the cosy nights in, trees changing colours. If If I was still in America - Thanksgiving! 

So here is a little peak at some of my current favourite picks for Autumn! 

I have also been cheekily lightening my hair; so yes it does look a bit ginger here! 

What are your favourite picks for Autumn?

70% Meat and Potatoes, 30% Icing and Fluff

This was something which I read about here on WhoWhatWear and I just needed to share it!

'According to Kors: "70 percent of the clothes you own should be meat and potatoes. 30 percent should be icing and fluff—that's color, pattern, shine, and accessories. Too many women get the proportions the other way round, then can't figure out why they can't get dressed." '

Isn't this just great? Now I'm definitely going to find it easier to get dressed in the morning! 

What do you think?

Covered Knee Patches

This was something that I saw someone had the other day; she had glittery, sequin-covered Mickey, (or maybe Minnie?) Mouses over the corners of the knees of her jeans. And I really liked the idea; I wouldn't personally want the Disney theme, but the idea of having different colours, fabrics, or anything different over the knee I really like. 

I love the heart theme that seems to be going on with leggings at the moment. The chunky, rectangular block seen at Topshop is also kind of cool, and despite being bigger, it comes across as much more subtle. 

When I was looking up images for this, there were soooo many for children!! There were some really cool dinosaur ones that I would definitely love... 

I also love the fact that this is something you could easily do yourself! All you would need is some fabric, some shapes and some leggings, jeans, trousers, anything that has knees! 

It's like cool elbow patches, but less old man. Definitely going to be on the lookout for something like these!

What do you think? Are knee patches for you?

Autumn Haul | Video

Ohohoh, what's that? Another haul? Yes that's right my friends! I done another haul for you all to enjoy :) This one, in case you haven't already worked out, is all things which I have bought for the Autumn season, which is of course the best one.
There is also a ramble in the middle about my recent experience of hearing Michelle Obama talk...I'm not going to say anymore; I say it all in the video :')

And come on, look at that face in the thumbnail. Doesn't it just draw you in? 

If you want to head on over to my channel and watch the video, then just click here.

Barbie's 55th Birthday

Over the weekend my sister (who remember lives in Japan) went to an exhibition which was showcasing Barbie in order to celebrate her 55th Birthday!

And seriosuly...she looks so good in all these photos! My sister took them and edited them, so all credit to her. When she sent them to me I said how good Barbie looks; I'm jealous and she's a bloody doll! Even her make up is spot.on. Those eyebrows!

Aside from listing all of the features of Barbie's numerous looks which I am jealous of, I will leave you to just kepe on looking at these amazing images!

Which of Barbie's features do you want?!

Do My Boobs Look Big In This?

Let's face it, we've all said it. 'Oh I probably need to get fitted, but oh well!' And so we continue to wear bras that do not actually fit and that do not actually make us look as good as we think we do and that are not in fact as comfortable as we thought they were...
Wearing a bra can be a pain as it is, let alone if it doesn't fit properly; not to mention it could also be affecting the rest of your body more than you realise if you aren't wearing the right fit. Putting into google 'problems of wearing...', the first suggestion which comes up is '...the wrong bra size'. If that isn't enough to convince you to get fitted, then I don't know what is!

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley created her collection for Autograph in Marks&Spencer with a main reason being that women should be wearing the right things for their shape so that they can look they best that they possibly can (and who doesn't want to look like her?!) The only real problem with getting fitted and finding out you are actually a different bra size from what you've been wearing for the past four years is that you have to buy new underwear. The tragedy!

I don't feel that, as far as I have been aware, this topic is blogged about that greatly. Yet if '#freethenipple' gets ten tonne of coverage, but you don't completely follow through with it, then at least do so to a proper fitting bra!
Go and get a free fitting at your local M&S. You'll thank yourself later when you have brand new spanking underwear ;)

If you're still not convinced, then check out this Buzzfeed article on 8 signs that you're wearing the wrong bra size...and go treat yourself!

The Slogan Tee

                        T-shirt £7.99 H&M

This is a definite current trend that I am loving, the slogan tee trend. You also don't have to spend a fortune to get your hands on one!
For cat and fashion lovers, this is a definite must.

Will you be on this trend?

Ted Baker S/S14 - Can We All Just Marvel For A Minute?

Not to mention the bags...oh the bags!

The beautiful and elegant pastels colours, mixed with the classy and simple more dark colours has made for such a charming spring line. This suits so well to the Spring season with the blossoming flower patterns and the brighter colours. This is just what we need to bring us out of the Winter blues!

What are your favourite pieces?
