Hi dolls!

My bestfriend bought me tickets for the musical Wicked! And it was amazing!! Honestly, if there are people thinking of going I definatly recommend it.

We started off with drinks in a little bar down Cardiff Bay called Salt. It was so lovely and the cocktails were so nice.

For my outfit, I wore a topshop midi dress and a missguided fluffy white jumper. I wrapped up nice and warm because as you can see by the picture it was pretty windy!

Other news! I've decided I am going to vlog my trip to paris!! I am super excited to start video bits and bobs from my life and if you like them hopefully make them a more frequent thing!

Love,

A little Instagram update/general update!

So I haven't really been getting up to a lot these last few weeks, so it's been hard to do blog posts! However, I ordered a tripod and it came in the post today, which for me is small steps into blogging regularly and taking good photos for you all.

I am going to Disney Land, Paris at the end of April and am really considering vlogging it for my non-existent YouTube channel. Let me know if you'd want to watch something like that!

Apart from that, I haven't got much to catch you up on...

Pretty boring really.

For my bestfriend's birthday in October I bought her tickets to see a show. But in the process we thought we would treat ourselves.

We went to Cardiff, as that's where the show was, and we went for cocktails before the show began. We started off in Peppermint, which in Cardiff is a little bar that does cocktails. Whilst we were there we had nachos which were amazing. If any of you are ever in Cardiff, definatly check it out in there, it is so relaxed and has such a cool vibe. Then we moved to TGI Fridays, which if any of you know, do some of the best cocktails! My cocktail was called summer peach and it had peach sorbet in, it was so nice! 

When we arrived at the concert, I didn't realise how good our seats were! We were literally a few rows from the front. I didn't know many of the songs as it was a Fleetwood Mac tribute thing, but my bestfriend loves them. Even though I didn't know many songs, the concert was still really good and I had a really good time.

Overall, I had a really nice night out with my bestfriend!

Hope you enjoy posts like this,

Hey beauties!

I went to Cardiff on a night out the other week and forgot to post my OOTN!

I bought this lovely dogtooth/ish pattern playsuit from boohoo. Considering the price of £20 I was surprised that it fitted so nice.

In the past I have bought things from boohoo and not been thrilled with the quality, but buying this has chanced my mind, it fitted in all the right places for me and the fabric was really flattering.

I also bought the belt from boohoo and again I really love it. As everyone knows I love black and gold so this belt was perfect. 

I paired this outfit with some H&M wedges, which are the comfiest things ever!! And a primark clutch which was a bargain of £3!!! 

My hair was also my Bellami hair extensions, by far the best hair extensions I have ever bought! (Highly recommend).

Hope everyone is safe and well!

Love,

I feel like I haven't really been in the 'zone' when it comes to blogging this year!
I made it a New Years resolution that I was going to try harder, but life just seems to be getting in the way.
But seeing as the rain is pouring down and I have contracted an unknown rash, I can't really leave the house. This is in my eyes that is something/someone telling me to blog (even though I should be doing school work, oops).
I haven't really got much to tell you, my life recently has been pretty average...
However, I have a lot of things planned in the next few weeks and hopefully you will be seeing that on this blog very soon.
So I thought I would quickly show you what I've been doing with my day considering I can't really leave the house.
For starters, I should be doing school work but I feel like I can quite safely say, that is over. Really what I have been doing is cwtching up (welsh term for cuddling up) on my bed reading Cosmo, with some candles burning, bliss...
Hopefully the weather will be getting better so I can do some more OOTD's. Recently I have been either working or in school so I dont have much spare time to go out, which means I don't really wear any other clothes than uniform, which sucks!! I have, however, been online shopping so hopefully a haul will be up asap!
Anyway, I should probably stop procrastinating and get on with my school work!
Adios Amigos,

I didn't really know what to expect when I got this Body Shop smokey eye palette. I have never really tried any Body Shop makeup before. 

This palette was only £10 so I thought as it was a bargain I would pick it up.

For starters I really like the packaging! It is really sleek and compact, so it would be easy for travelling. I also really like the fact it has a big mirror so it is again easy for travelling.

The colours in the palette are also really beautiful. They are really natural colours so you could wear the day time or add a bit more of the darker colours for a more dramatic effect.

I also really like the fact that this palette comes with good size brushes. Normally in cheaper palettes I don't use the brushes and chuck them away because they are normally harsh or break straight away. But these brushes are really good quality! 

The actual eye shadows in this palette are really well pigmented. The colour pay off is really good considering the price. Obviously not in comparison to some of the more upmarket eyeshadows, but for what is £2.50 per eyeshadow they are defiantly worth the money.

I also really like the fact that they have a diagram on the back of the packaging. If you are new to makeup and wanted to try out a smokey eye, this product would be perfect for you. And of course that fact that Body Shop don't test on animals.

After trying out the product, the only criticism I have is that there is quite a lot of fallout product when applying, but I think that is only a minor issue when you actually think of the price and the pigment quality.

I actually tried this eyeshadow for an everyday look and swept the lightest colour all over the lid and put the dark brown on the outer corners and abut through my crease. 

Overall I am really happy with this product and will defiantly be trying out more Body Shop makeup.

Do you have any recommendations of what makeup I should try next?

Hope you are all safe and well,

Hey guys!

I went out with a friend last weekend and thought I would show you a OOTN.

I absolutely loved this outfit and thought it was so chic and classy.

The black and gold theme is right up my street and I basically wear it everyday.

The jumpsuit I was wearing was from Zara, it is so lovely and fits really nicely. I never think of going into Zara normally as I always had the assumption that their clothes were only for 'skinny Minnie's'. I was so wrong because as soon as I went in there I found loads of stuff that was really flattering, including this jumpsuit!

I kept this look simple and just wore a few gold accessories. This was my Fossil rose gold watch (which I wear everyday), a simple gold necklace from Topshop, (which I am loving) and some black open-toe stilettos with a gold heel from Fashion Union (which again I absolutely love!! But 100% do not recommend the website, which is another story...)

Also a little mention, I am obsessed with my hair extensions at the moment. I recently splurged on some Bellami hair extensions. They have literally changed my life. (A little but over-dramatic, but I love them so much)! My hair has never looked so healthy, thick and long. They are a bit on the pricey side, but as I wear my extensions on a regular bases, for me, they are worth it. If anyone is unsure whether to get these and has had their eye on them for a while, I definately recommend them! 

Recently, I have also purchased a Mac pigment in Vanilla, which is so pretty, but I will hopefully be getting a makeup post using that soon! 

Hope everyone is safe and well,
