In this accessories haul I'm sharing all my latest jewellery steals with you guys! Most of the shopping I do tends to be in the sale.. what can I say I'm the original bargain hunter (Not David Dickinson)! The ring sets from H&M are great, they go with everything and I brought them in silver & gold. The gold set included a matte and shiny selection and the silver just shine but a vast variety of sizes. there great to mix and match and as you can see in my outfit posts I like wearing them with gaps between them and creating a different look. Both £3.99 a set I think there quite the fashion staple and a definite favourite.

 

Hoops are another fashion essential. Making a come back from chavy to hip, the bigger the hoop the better and these golden geometric hoops from Topshop were a sale steal at only £3.50 absolute bargain.. right!

 

So back to finger fancies this is the set of gold rings I'm talking above from H&M. The photo includes my jagged stone ring (previous outfit post) another Topshop sale bargain at £3.50. I love the triangle shape and the fake semi precious stone look. :)

 

Finally the fringed necklace from COS, one of my favourite shops. I don't often shop here as lets face it, its very dear but lovely so I'm picky with my purchases from COS. This necklace in the sale was just what I was looking for, on sale for £7 was £20-something quite the find. Its brushed silver so its a lovely colour and I love the noise it makes when it moves ever so slightly.

 

 So there are my recent accessories I've purchased, have you found any bargain jewellery recently?

SUNGLASSES-TOPSHOP

SHIRT-TOPSHOP

LEATHER SKIRT- VINTAGE

SANDALS- URBAN OUTFITTERS

NECKLACE & RING - TOPSHOP 

 

Happy Monday! I cant believe how fast the summer is flying by, before you know it I'll be back up north starting my 3rd year! Scary shit. This look is one of my favourites so far, that new shirt from the Topshop sale is an official favourite piece now! I teamed it with my vintage leather skirt, that was actually my mums floor length skirt but for a project a wee while a go I needed leather so I killed to birds with one stone, so to speak. Used the cut leather for my project and made the perfect real leather A-line skirt! Its one of the most comfortable garments I own and its one of my favourites too.

The shoes were a sale steal from Urban Outfitters and again I love them! There so comfortable and lovely to wear. I wear a lot of black as you may notice? Wearing all black is one of my favourite trends, always timeless, black can never look bad and everyone knows it slimming. :)

The jewellery were bargains from the Topshop sale, the 3 chain necklace was only £1.50 online... shocking I know. The ring also a cheap sale buy at only £3.50, Its got a beautiful nude rock type stone in the middle and in an interesting triangle shape, which is different and it also look like it can cause real damage.. which me and my sister found out, it can.

 

 Did you get any sale bargains?

 

Till next time :)

 

 

 



I WISH.

 

FLORAL CROWN - ROCK 'N ROSE | HOLGRAPHIC SKIRT - TOPSHOP | CUT OUT BOOTS - TOPSHOP | TOP - ZARA | JACKET - H&M.

 

So here are my current loves, Topshop, as always are featured. I have a very strong love - hate relationship with Topshop but I absolutely love this iridescent  A-line skirt from Topshop! So on trend and the styling possibilities are endless, This can be great for the end of summer or with a layered shirt & jumper combo for winter.

 

The cut out boots are a must at the moment. I love them and are seriously considering purchasing them! The only thing that worries me is the practically, living in Scotland for Uni, I face a lot of weather issues from snow, hail and heavy rain I'm not sure if these boots will keep me dry & warm.. but they are so beautiful I'm not sure I'll be able to resist.

 

The floral crown I'm lusting over is from Rock 'n Rose, if you've seen my previous post you know I was having trouble narrowing down my choice, but the verdict is in and I think the Lana crown is the winner! With a mixture of dark and light roses, it really is the perfect floral crown!

 

More loves from the high street include this high-neck blouse from Zara, you probably cant see but the print is angels and architecture, it reminds me of Magna Carta- Holy Grail art work, Jay-Z new album. With a distressed pink & red effect layered over I think It would look great with a leather A-line skirt. Finally This cardigan/jacket from H&M is last but definitely not least! I love a subtle Aztec print and this jacket looks warm and cosy, but fashionable. I love jackets with this cut, no collar and high neck, a classic look.

 

So there it is, my current wish list. What's on yours?

 

 

 

NAILED IT- GALAXY NAILS

 

 

 

 

 

 

Galaxy print has recently been a huge trend and I thought why not try out galaxy nails! For my fortnightly instalment of NAILED IT.. get the pun :) I thought I'd experiment with one of my favourite prints and see if an everyday, clumsy painter can re-create this look with minimal fuss.

 

Firstly I started out with Topshop- Lead, now I've never brought nail varnishes from Topshop until this month and to be honest I love them, great variety of colours and now I own several! So I just painted Teal as a base, I thought the blue and shiny hue would make a great galactic drop back.

 

Then using several different varnishes I created the stars. For my cluster I picked these nail varnishes: Barry M- 66 Matt white, Topshop Winter frost, Barry M- 161 Vivid purple, Topshop Aurora and for an extra sparkle Models own- Hedkandi Ibiza mix, but you can mix and match whatever varnishes you like.

 

Topshop Winter frost is a holographic nail varnish, the silver that you see looks great under lights as it glitters like no other, fabulous for this look. I created this nail art with the house hold tools of drinking straws (preferably disposable) and a sponge, this gets real messy so put towel or some paper down first! After my base coat had dried I poured my desired varnish onto a piece of paper, rolling the hold in the straw in it, then through the other hole blow through onto your desired nails.

TIP- if you want to create different looks cutting the straw to different lengths and distance from nail can enhance your look.

 

After I felt I'd created enough layers, I just went over the top with a sponge, softly dabbing the Barry M matt white over areas of my nail to create extra spacey depth. TIP- make sure you take the excess off your sponge by lightly dapping on towel or paper before applying to nails.

 

For extra glimmering stars I added a few drops of Models own glitter just to give it that extra starry night shimmer. Add a topcoat for extra protection from chipping and erosion.

 

So there it is, how I created my galaxy nail look. Have you guys got any tips for galaxy nails? I'd love to hear them.

I'm still shopping even though I shouldn't be! OOPS! My new loves refers to my new Topshop boot heels, with a slight peep toe, new leather smell and a platform wedge, who was I to deny myself to own these beautiful bad boys! PLUS they were in the sale, reduce to £30 and with a return of £10 and student discount a £17 total was just too irresistible! So there.. I've explained myself. :)

 

I also purchased the Benefit B.right skincare starter set. (review coming) £12.50 bargain! I'm looking forward to trying it out and seeing what products are for me!

ALL RINGS- H&M

 

 

So after being awoken by a thunderstorm this morning the sunshine has come out & its a beautiful day! So why not wear the shortest shorts ever, my DIY levis, once a pair of my mothers jeans successfully chopped & distressed to fit my needs! Levis are classic and are a wardrobe staple. 

 

This crop jumper is a perfect find, in the Topshop sale, its not often I wear crops but this jumper is the right amount of coverage and I love the lilac/grey hue. Teaming this outfit with my new trusty Topshop gladiators another sale find. thick soled and real leather I'm hoping they last me much longer than all my other sandals! (I'm very heavy footed & clumsy)

 

The rings came as part of a set and I love them, except the bigger textured ring this was purchased solo. I love these sets H&M are doing as you can tell I have the gold ones in my last post :)

 

This is one of my favourite outfits for sunny afternoons and evenings.

 

excuse the hair it really needs dying.. I'm considering a ginger/red hue.. what do you think?

 

until next time...
