The summers beginning to leave the UK now, i'm not sure whether i'm happy to see it go or not.. but it was like we never really had one tbh. George & I took a trip up to London to watch The Lion King at the theatre as I got tickets for my birthday, so exciting! Favourite film ever.
Because of the unpredictable weather we always seem to be having, and Autumn starting to set in I thought it only wise to whip out the coats. This is a newbie for my collection and i'm over the moon with it. I'll mention everything down below.
p.s The Lion King was incredible.
Way back at the beginning of March i had a bit of a girly spark, and really wanted to change my make-up up a bit. Now i wish i could say i was good at makeup, but honestly i'm pretty basic, and opt for the same 3 things everyday, and even then it's not the best outcome. For this i didn't see the point of splashing out on high end products, but to experiment with the more affordable stuff first.
I'd heard about the company 'ELF' from watching 'voussontbeauetbelle' YouTube where she constantly raves about it for it's quality yet affordable price. So i thought i'd check it out where, amazingly they were closing down so they had a mahuuusive sale on! Great timing?!
Therefore, yes i went spending mad.
{L-R}
Misty Haze;£1.25- Mod Mauve;£1.25- Bubble Gum Pink;£1.00- Skinny Jeans;£1.25- Fairy Dust;£1.00- Golden Goddess;75p
Ah so i went a way out of my comfort zone here as i never wear lip products, but seeing as they were so cheap whats the harm in trying?! (really i just want to look like Kylie Jenner)
{L-R}
Lip Balm Tint in Grapefruit;£2.95- Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick in Flirty & Girly; £1.18- JLGS in Tiki Torches; 89p- JLGS in Coco Loco; £1.18- JLGS in Sangria Starters;89p- Lip Balm Tint in Nude;£1.48- Conditioning Lip Balm with SPF in Blissful Berry;£2.77- CLB in Mellow Melon;£2.77
{L-R}
Zit Zapping Concealer;£1.48- Eyelash Curler;78p- Bronzer;£1.75- Eye Roll On Refresh; £1.98
I'm so glad my girly spark came to me when it did i mean look at them bargains. Who knows maybe i could do a makeup look post...... highly doubtful.

Motel Rocks had a 70% off sale a couple weeks ago and obviously I had to look as firstly; i'm a sucker for a good bargain, secondly because I have a huge love for Motel Rocks but my bank balance doesn't. Unfortunately I was a little late to the sale & the most popular items had sold out in my size but I managed to bag a couple bargains!
The first things I came across were two bralet style bikini tops both for £12 (originally £22) I had to get these as soon as i saw them basically because they have yellow flowers on them, which are my two favourite things. I plan on wearing these under loose vests/t shirts at Glastonbury which i will be attending this year, lets pray for nice weather!
My final purchase was the black crop top which was also £12 (origanlly £22). The back of this top was what really caught my eye as it's a cut out design. Thinking of pairing this with a pair of high waisted black jeans.
Black is best.
Here's what the back looks like, how cool and different is that!
(Jeans Topshop)
Definitely going to get a lot of wear out of these items this summer, please do more sales Motel Rocks :)

But i'm fully aware not everyone will be doing so, therefore I raided my wardrobe and put together what would have been my go to outfits whether I was going out for a posh meal, or even if I was hitting the town with my girlfriends.
Black & white two layered feather print playsuit with open back;
Motel Rocks- £45
Wore this on New Years & i'm in love with it, need to find an excuse to wear it again!
I know Motel Rocks can be a little on the pricier side but in my opinion it's definitely worth it, especially when you know you'll get a lot of wear out an item. PLUS you do get a £10 voucher when you sign up to their newsletter & they always have offers going on!

Now if you're like me & are not always a fan of showing your legs off (either wear tights) OR do what I do and wear some funky trousers or a full length skirt
For example:
Black crop top- Missguided
Floral Maxi skirt with zip & slit detail- Miss Selfridge
Black crop top- Missguided
Patterned trousers- Missguided
haha i ran out of ways to pose at the end.
Black crop top- Missguided
Printed trousers- Missguided
Those trousers are only £8 at the moment what a bargain!!!!
So there we have it, me awkwardly attempting to look cool in my bedroom... Hope these ideas inspired you in some way. Maybe not for valentines but even for a date night or a night in town, whatever you're doing have a wonderful time and if you're lucky enough to have a valentine I hope you get spoilt rotten!

Take care,
