Work Experiece Outfits


Hi Ladies. A few weeks ago I went on a work experience placement to a local newspaper. I had a really wonderful time and loved every minute of it. I took a picture each day of my outfits, as I wanted to share it with you- and I haven't done a fashion post for so long! Excuse the bad quality of the photos, they were taken on my iPhone! I hope you enjoy the post!

Fashion & Beauty Haul | Topshop, New Look, Boots & More


Hi Ladies. I have been doing a spot of shopping recently. This shopping is a mixture of things I bought in Cambridge with my friend Lauren, and the rest is a few bits and bobs I picked up after work yesterday. Some products are things I needed to repurchase, and others are just a little treat!

Miss Selfridge LOVE Crop Top
£18
 
I saw this top online and really liked the look of it, and when I tried it on instore, I knew it would be perfect to wear with high waisted shorts to the one day festival (Fusion Birmingham) I am going to.
 
Topshop Heart Shirt
£38
 
This is a classic shirt. Whilst it was pretty pricy, I know I will get a lot of wear out of it, as it will never get old. Also I thought it would be great for my upcoming work experience at my local newspaper.
 
New Look Striped Bodycon Dress
£12.99
 
I've got a party on Friday, and I loved this dress. Its so simple but yet flattering. Its also very modest, as it is just above the knee. Being 5:11, dresses can sometimes look incredibly short on me!
 
Office Bow Pumps
£25
 
I have been in desperate need of new shoes, and I adore this pair. They are so pretty and will really spice up a plain outfit. I really love the big statement bow too.
 
New Look Floral Pumps
£9.99
 
These were a complete bargain, and I have already got a lot of use out of them. I love wearing them with a simple white dress. They are so pretty, and great quality for the money.
 
New Look Statement Necklace
£4.99
 
I bought this to go with my dress for the party, and I love the combination. Kayleigh has got me into statement necklaces, and I know this one will not be my last!
 
Accessorize Earrings (was a pack of two)
£8
 
These came as a pack with a pink pair in too. I knew I wouldn't wear both of them as they are too similar, but I have been wanting a blue pair of earrings like this for quite some time now. In the end, me and Lauren paid half each, and now we both have a pair!
 
Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector in 05 Candy Shimmer
£17
 
These little beauties have been all over the blogosphere recently, and I have been lusting after them. I finally thought I would bite the bullet and buy one, and I can safely say, I have not been disappointed. Expect a review very soon!
 
Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation & Concealer, Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, Bourjois Cream Blush in Healthy Glow
Foundation: £8.99, Powder: £3.99, Blush (offer) £6.99, Concealer: £5.49
 
These are just some bits I have been needing to repurchase. I was fast running out of foundation, concealer and powder, so I bought my favourites. I also bought a cream blush as they look really lovely.
 
Korres Plum Lip Butter
£7
 
I remember looking at these in one of my favourite shops Oliver Bonas, way before they were popular in the blogging world. I hadn't got round to buying one until now, but I'm so glad I did. They are really lovely and effortless to wear.
 
Topshop Lipstick in Macaroon
£8
 
This has been on my wishlist for a LONG time. I love Topshop lipsticks and this is a perfect summer colour. Next on my list is Infrared. The infamous bright orange!
 
St Moriz Self Spray Tan
£2.99
 
I bought this as a quick fix when I can't be bothered to fake tan (and that's a lot of the time). St Moriz is raved about a lot so I thought I would give it a go.
 
So there is my recent purchases. I have gone a bit crazy recently! I make myself feel better by saying its for the good of my blog!

Cambridge Wishlist

 
Topshop Floral Lace Crop Top, Topshop Spot Print Skater Skirt, MAC Satin Taupe, Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector, REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask, Bourjois Cream Blush 02, MAC 217, Topshop Macaroon Lipstick.
 
On Thursday, one of my best friends and I are travelling up to Cambridge for a couple of days for some sight-seeing, shopping and to visit her brother who is currently studying at Cambridge University. I've heard some mixed reviews about shopping in Cambridge, and having never been myself, I'm not entirely sure what is there, but I have devised a wishlist never the less!
 
Last week, I was in town with my friend Holly and we had a little try-on session in Topshop. I put together this little duo, and really loved the way it looked. The Floral Lace Crop Top and Spot Print Skater Skirt went really well together, and are classic items of clothing that are never going to be out of fashion. I have had my eye on MAC Satin Taupe for absolutely ages but have never got round to purchasing it. I cant wait to pair it with MAC Naked Lunch as the combination is well known for being one of Tanya's favourites. The Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector's have made quite an impact on the blogging world, and I for one have buckled under the hype and really want to try one. Judging by the pictures I have seen online and swatched instore, I think Candy Shimmer is the shade for me. If you haven't heard of the REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask you must have been living under a rock because every beauty blogger and their dog has been raving about it. I am hoping it will tackle my blemishes and leave me with the glowing, radiant complexion I lust after. Another product raved about of late is the Bourjois Cream Blush. I think 02 Healthy Glow will be the shade I will go for. I have never tried MAC brushes, and I intend the 217 Blending Brush to be my debut into the world of MAC brushes. It is used in so many makeup tutorials on youtube and looks as though it applies eyeshadow effortlessly. Last but not least is Topshop Macaroon Lipstick which looks like a beautiful, easy to wear colour for summer.
 
What is on your wishlist?
