This is just a quick message to tell you all MERRY CHRISTMAAAS!
I was up at 8 o'clock this morning opening up all my presents and can I just say that I have been a very lucky girl this year! Sometime this week I will make a post on what I got this year and hopefully you can all tell your presents too!
Hope you have a very, merry Christmas and stock up on all your delicious food!

winter // christmas essentials.
As you are aware Winter and Christmas are creeping around the corner, and we need to be prepared for what is to come! I have a list of items and products that are going to make the rest of the year cosy and sweet.
candles
Everyone needs a Christmas candle for when they have just got in from a long day at school or work and they just want to sit there and relax. I find that if I am doing homework, having a candle on in my room makes me feel a lot more chilled out and relaxed, oh and I cannot forget having a candle on in the bath... h e a v e n.
A Christmas mug
You have to get yourself into the Christmas, festive mood by having a warm cup of hot chocolate, or tea or coffee in a Christmas cup / mug.
A pair of warm, comfy boots
Now you cant let your feet get cold over the next couple of weeks, so having a pair of practical but stylish pair of boots is going to do the job. If your like me and you have a dog, taking your dog out for a walk is going to get really cold soon so you have got to be warm and prepared.
Again warm, comfy jackets
I am probably pointing out the obvious here very much like before, but you have to get yourself a big, warm, snug jacket for the Christmas period. I always used to go out in small coats and jackets (totally thinking about whether the jacket goes with those jeans, or if it matches that top) and would totally regret it as the day goes on, so getting yourself a coat that is going to keep you warm is essential, who wants a cold during Christmas?
Fairy lights
This isn't so much an essential but I just adore them, having fairy lights around your room really adds to the cosy, dark nights in, there super cute and I just think that every room needs some!
Lip care and skin care products
This is a big essential for this time of year! Keeping your skin and lips hydrated seems such a pain, very much a lot of the time I cant be bothered, or I don't have the time! But I have really seen the importance recently in keeping your face and lips hydrated and smooth. The cold weather will probably drain you out, so giving your body a little bit of luxury is needed!
So that's all for my winter / Christmas essentials, make sure you follow me on twitter and bloglovin', all links are at the side of my blog!

october favourites.
Recently I haven't been posting in a while, well when I say a while I mean
Enough with me rambling on and lets begin!
over a month, but I have just been in one of those moods where I just cannot get round to do it. But I've also been so busy with school that I have had no spare time, and the time that I do have I just want to chill and relax.
And well I have had a collective haul planned but I just never got round to uploading it, and well it got later and later and well I am here. Now I was going to do an October favourites but many of the products and clothes were going to be featured in both posts, so I thought I would scrap the collective haul and just go with the monthly favourites!
Enough with me rambling on and lets begin!
The first thing is this really cute collar top from Topshop, I have been lusting for one for a while and when the opportunity came up for me to get a new top I had to get one! Its navy blue, even though it looks black, with small white love hearts! Not going to lie I do feel a teeny bit like Zoella when I where it, and this is priced at £32 which is rather reasonable and expected from TopShop!
My next monthly favourite is these cut out boots from again, Topshop. There is a mad craze about cut out boots recently and I really wanted a good pair of autumn / winter boots. So when i saw these I was just like these are the ones, and can you believe it that the first time I wore them I got not one single blister, I was amazed to say the least. These were £45 and I think that price is so reasonable for what they are worth!
Then oh...my...goodness, how beautiful is this. I really wanted a warm, winter coat that is going to keep me warm through the winter months, and I started my search for a parka jacket and could not find one that I fancied the look off, and then well, when I saw this featured in one of zoellas videos I was like Ive got to get it! Now for some of you the hood might be a little over powering and too much for you but for me it's what drew me in! But what the greatness about this coat is that it's going to keep you extremely warm throughout the winter as inside it is layered with fur which my goodness is so cosy and soft! It is at a price of £95 which for some may be a little to pricey but if your looking for a reliable, warm winter coat then this is defiantly the one!
Then finally, I picked one up, some baby lips moisturising lip balm from Maybelline in the shade pink punch! I generally cannot get over how soft and smooth it is on your lips, I literally cannot stop myself sometimes and I have to force myself to put it down! I picked one up which had a hint of colour as i always like to have a little colour on my lips when I go out, but I think that I want a plain one for me to go to school as I am not aloud colour on my lips!
It wasn't really a long post today but these are really the only things that I wanted to share with you all from the month of October! Oh I hope everyone had a great Halloween too and got lots of sweets, I know I did!
Sorry again for the lack of posting but hopefully I will find more spare time to do more exciting posts for you all!

Fashion, rule #123
The other day I was lying in bed, bored out of my brain so I wondered over to my bookshelf and had a look at some of the books I had, and having a skim through them all I pulled out this beauty:
Victoria Beckham:- that extra half an inch, hair heels and everything in between
Now don't' get me wrong this is a old book and I've had it for years but yet each time I read it still engages me and inspires me even more!
Its all about fashion and Victoria Beckham's way off life, now I am not going to be describing to you what the book is about but what I am going to be on about is what I have taken from it.
'Whether you have £20 to spend in Topshop or £2,000 to spend at Gucci, looking good isn't about the money, its about style and style never goes out of fashion' - Victoria Beckham
I am not some expert in fashion and I have no qualifications on what's hot and what's not but I have a passion for fashion (oh look it rhymes) and I've been lucky enough that I can experiment with different types and styles of clothing.
I have many different fashion tastes whether that be boho and Indie or girly and sweet, in my opinion its great! If you can swap your style then go for it! So these are just my 3 fashion rules that I think help me with fashion!
Rule #1 - Don't feel like you are pined down to one fashion taste, go out and explore different styles and tastes, you might surprise yourself.
Be extra unordinary, something that you see in a shop you might think is a bit too dangerous for you, pick it up and buy it, what else is there to lose?
Rule #2 - Go for something that is out of your comfort zone, make heads turn but for all the right reasons.
Then finally, you will probably hear this phrases in some cheesy school club or some kids party but I am just going to come right out an say it...
Rule #3 - Have fun (and be yourself)
Fashion is a way in which you can show you individuality and personality and you need to show that off. Fashion may stress you out at times, deciding what to wear for your upcoming party or if you don't have enough money to buy that gorgeous skirt. But at the end of the day if you have a spark for fashion then have fun with it!

September favourites.
Here we go again another monthly favourites, time is literally passing by too quickly!! But never mind because it means that it nearer to Christmaaas, yes I have a uncontrollable amount of excitement for Christmas like I do every year, (come on I mustn't be the only one!) Stopping with my rambling on I have some really great items this month that hopefully you will love just as much as me!
For starters I am going to start with beauty favourites, so I picked this up the other week after living on crumb size amount for a while. Now all you beauty bloggers will know that this is probably one of the best powders around, the Rimmel London stay matte, long lasting pressed powder has been my beauty must have this month! I get the shade transparent just because I have pale skin so I don't want to over do my face with colour. This powder keeps natural shine under control which is great, so if you've just done P.E class and your just a little sweaty then you can dab some on and your good to go!
My next beauty favourite is the benefit high beam, I never used to wear highlighter until I discovered this. You apply it like you would nail varnish, so you stroke it on your cheek bones and then with your fingers rub it in creating a glowing look, it really brightens up your face. I got this in a benefit set but I am pretty sure you can buy this product individually, hopefully so because I will be making a re purchase once it has all ran out.
Going on to skin care, at the moment my skin is awful and has broke out with a load of spots, so my friend actually recommended this product to me so I went out and picked it up. The simple spotless skin, rapid action spot zapper actually did my face justice, now I didn't expect much from this as I do not with many spot cleansers but within a couple of days I saw rapid reduction of my spots. But the thing I love the most about this is that it isn't a cream that you apply with your fingers, there is a roll on ball. I recommend this product especially for people with sensitive skin as it is very gentle and smooth.
So I only have one clothes favourite this month and they are these jeans, when I was browsing round new look I came across these high waisted denim jeans. I have wanted a pair of dark jeans for the autumn time as it fits in more with the season, so when I found these they were the perfect colour and at a reasonable price, and then when I found out they were high waisted I fell in love even more. High waisted jeans I think are easy to pair with all kinds of tops and just make a pair of jeans a little more fancy.
Then finally is the Victoria Secret body spray, now I have mentioned this spray before in one of my older posts but I literally love it so much! I got this at the very beginning on September and it hasn't been off my skin for the whole month, everyday before I go school I spray this on and I smell divine. But if you do buy this body spray make sure you hide it, my mums a pest at always borrowing it and not giving it back!
So there we have it another monthly favourites, I hope you have enjoyed reading, feel free to comment below your September favourite links as I would love to check them out!

this and that.
So a couple of days ago Amelia, from intomyimagination.blogspot.com tagged me in this great tag post, at first I didn't really know what it was all about but when I read hers it made sense and I couldn't wait to do it. So if you are reading this now then I tag YOU.
Make-up:
1. Blush or bronzer? - Oooh that's a hard one, I would probably have to say blush because its always nice to give your cheeks a little bit of colour, but I do love bronzer for contouring! Overall though I prefer blusher.
2. Lipgloss or lipstick? - Definitely lipstick, lipsticks lasts on the lips a lot longer and gives a more polishing look!
3.Eyeliner or mascara? - Mascara 100%, as my eyes are so small mascara is essential in bringing them out and making them look fuller! Also I cannot apply eyeliner for my life, I always make a mess!
4. Foundation or concealer? - Probably foundation, my skin at the moment isn't at its best and you would have to use a lot of concealer to cover it all up, so you see foundation would be better as it essentially will cover more of those blemishes and imperfections.
5. Natural or coloured eyeshadow? - Natural eyeshadow for me, its easy to apply and doesn't look too much for just a simple day!
6. Pressed or loose eyeshadow? - pressed, loose is much more harder to apply and gets a little messy sometimes!
7. Brush or sponge? - I would have to say brush purely because I haven't used a sponge yet so I couldn't say if I like it or not.
Nails:
1. Opi or China Glaze? - Opi for sure, I love the finishing product on the nails!
2. Long or short? - I don't think I can say to be honest, I go through periods where I love having short nails and the way they look (Kim Kardashian always has short nails and they look fab,) but then when I have long nails and I add polish too them they look great too!
But both short and long nails only look nice if all your nails are the same length and filed nicely!
3. Natural or acrylics? - Natural just because acrylics ruin your nails a lot!
4. Bright or dark? - It depends on the time of year or season, at the moment I love darker nails as were in autumn/winter season!
5. Flower or no flower? - No flower probably, even though i do love nail art, simple nail polishes are always the best!
Body:
1. Perfume or body splash? - I have a mixed answer here, perfumer for evening events or more special times, but then body spray for school.
2. Lotion or body butter? - Body butter for sure, I love the texture and how it feels on the skin!
3. Body wash or soap? - I just go for soap normally, but if I get given body wash in a gift set then I will use that!
4. Lush or other? - LUSH.
Fashion:
1. Jeans or sweatpants? - Jeans, I don't really have those says when i just want to wear joggers, I'm always in jean or leggings.
2. Long sleeves or short sleeves? - Overall i prefer short sleeve but as winter is approaching it is more sensible to wear long sleeved items of clothing.
3. Dress or skirt? - I couldn't possible answer this, i love both of items!
4. Scarfs or hats? - Scarfs, they keep me all cosy and warm on those cold winter mornings!
5. Studs or dangling earrings? - For school were only allowed stud earrings so I have to wear them, but if I'm going out for a meal or party I like to jazz it up a little and wear dangling earrings.
6. Heels or flats? - Flats, I get my wear out of flats the most and there just super comfortable!
7. Cowboy boots or riding boots? - Riding boots just because I don't like cowboy boots at all!
8. Jackets or hoodies? - Jackets go with more and pull the whole outfit together.
9. Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe? - Since I have never been in a Charlotte Russe shop i would have to say forever 21.
Hair:
1. Curly or straight? - I love my hair either, but I do prefer my hair curly because I have crazy curly hair!
2. Bun or ponytail? - I really like either, but again on me i like my hair in a ponytail and a scrunchie...simple but effective.
3. bobby pins or butterfly clips? - bobby pins for sure, there much more easier to hide.
4. Hairspray or hair gel? - Hairspray hold everything in place whereas gel only holds down those loose pieces of hair.
5. Long or short? - I looooove long hair, you can do so much more with it.
6. Dark or Light? - Different people suit different coloured hair, on me i think i would only suit blonde, light hair.
7. Side swept bangs or full bangs? - Oooh, I think I prefer full bangs, they look more neat.
8. Up or down? - This isn't really answering the question but I love half up, half down! This is probably my everyday school hair at the moment!
Random:
1. Rain or shine? - Everyones got to love a little bit of sunshine, but is it just me that loves rain either at night or when your driving in the dark? I find it so relaxing!
2.Summer or winter? - Aaah this is so hard, I probably would have to say summer just because its a time where I can relax due to no school!
3. Fall or spring? - This answers a little bit of the question above but I do love fall too as its near to Christmas!
4. Chocolate or vanilla? - I have loved vanilla over chocolate since I can remember!
I would like to say thank you to Amelia for tagging me in this tag, I thoroughly enjoyed doing this post!

-what I wore.
Now I am starting off with something a bit
cheesy, but I thought I might share with you what I have to say. I just
want to say a big, big thank you to everyone, I'm nearly at 400 followers on
twitter and even though I don't have a big audience it’s nice to know that even
a couple of you read my blog, if anyone would like me to follow them on twitter
either just follow me or leave a comment below with your username and I will
follow you!
Anyway a couple of days ago my friend has her birthday party where I got to dress up in right autumn style, so I thought why not share with you what I wore with you!
For starters I wore this Plain Black Bardot top from misguided which was priced at £4.50, which is such a bargain I couldn't believe it!! At first I wasn't too sure about it as I always thought I have a really long neck, and as you wear it off both shoulders I thought that it would look stupid with too much skin showing. But with the whole outfit on together it didn't look stupid at all, actually it looked really cute! To make my neck not look too long, I added a gold chain to break it up a little.
I wore this tartan skirt which I have completely fallen in love with; it was bought from New Look and was approximately £18 which again is such a great price! This skirt is so autumn and literally looks so great on, I've seen a couple of these skirts around and always loved the way they looked on people, and not to blow my own trumpet here but I loved the way it looked on me and pulled together the whole outfit! It fits in with the season at the moment and I cannot wait to get my wear out of it.
Then for the shoes, I just wore my plain, low top white converse with some frilled socks. I didn't want some bold shoes that would take away from the skirt which was my statement piece of clothing, so I went for my converse because they are simple but still really cute!
For my hair finally, surprise, surprise I wore it half up half down, if you want to know how I got my curls then scroll down to see my post on it!

The Autumn Tag.
As we're in the Autumn season now I've seen this tag been featured in many people's blogs recently so I had to do it myself and give you my thoughts and opinions on the whole Autumn season.
Favourite thing about it?
oooh, the cosy nights in whilst drinking hot chocolate and the dark nights! But the most exciting thing for me is how it's leading up to Christmas!! (If you don't already know, I am crazy on Christmas!)
Favourite drink?
Probably the most common drink around this time off year is a good cup of hot chocolate!
Favourite scent // candle?
I'm obsessed with cinnamon scents, so I will definately be searching for candles with a hint of cinnamon for this Autumn.
Best lipstick?
I really love deep reds or a deep purples, I haven't bought it yet but I definately will be making a purchase of MAC rebel, this is such a statement colour.
Go to moisturiser?
I think that any moisturiser that suits your skin will be great, I'm not a huge moisturiser fan but I will definately be trying some in the up coming months, don't want my face to go dry and rough!
Go to colours for eyes?
For the autumn there's many colours for the eyes that really suit and match this time if year, for instence, red tones really complement a dark lip but also I love a mixture of brown // neutral colours.
Favourite music or band // singer to listen to?
For me it has to be my all time favourite singer Lana Del Rey, she has such an amazing voice and I can listen to her all year round.
Favourite outfit to wear?
I'm pretty sure most off you would say a thick, cosy jumper with some jeans and some cute ankle boots, such a simple and cosy outfit to wear.
Autumn treat?
I definately want to purchase rebel by MAC but I don't really have many candles so I might buy myself a Yankee candle, any scents you recommend?
Favourite place to be?
In the day probably at some cafe having a bight to eat with some friends but then on those cold, dark nights, at home watching a good film with the family!
iI anyone else has done the autumn tag then feel free to leave a comment or message me on twitter and I will definitely go check it out, love to know what everyone favourite things are for the Autumn season!

I really love deep reds or a deep purples, I haven't bought it yet but I definately will be making a purchase of MAC rebel, this is such a statement colour.
Go to moisturiser?
I think that any moisturiser that suits your skin will be great, I'm not a huge moisturiser fan but I will definately be trying some in the up coming months, don't want my face to go dry and rough!
Go to colours for eyes?
For the autumn there's many colours for the eyes that really suit and match this time if year, for instence, red tones really complement a dark lip but also I love a mixture of brown // neutral colours.
Favourite music or band // singer to listen to?
For me it has to be my all time favourite singer Lana Del Rey, she has such an amazing voice and I can listen to her all year round.
Favourite outfit to wear?
I'm pretty sure most off you would say a thick, cosy jumper with some jeans and some cute ankle boots, such a simple and cosy outfit to wear.
Autumn treat?
I definately want to purchase rebel by MAC but I don't really have many candles so I might buy myself a Yankee candle, any scents you recommend?
Favourite place to be?
In the day probably at some cafe having a bight to eat with some friends but then on those cold, dark nights, at home watching a good film with the family!
iI anyone else has done the autumn tag then feel free to leave a comment or message me on twitter and I will definitely go check it out, love to know what everyone favourite things are for the Autumn season!

My curly hair routine.
Hello again! So if you read my blog and if you've seen pictures then you can probably see that I have very, very curly hair, now to be fair I was born with naturally curly hair but as I have gotten older my hair has dropped due to all the heat and product I apply to it. So now my hair does need a little maintenance, I'm going to show you how to produce my curly hair quick and simple.
When I wash my hair I always concentrate on the hairline going around my head, as that's the place where it gets the most greasy. So when washing my hair I use about an almond size amount of PRO:VOKE touch of silver shampoo, this shampoo really brings all the life back into my hair. I massage the shampoo in my hair for about 4 - 5 minutes, making sure I really get into the roots. Once I have done I then thoroughly rinse it all out making sure that there's no access left behind.
Now some people tend to wash with shampoo twice, but for me once is enough but if you would prefer to wash your hair again then go ahead and give it another wash!
When I've done that I go onto conditioner using Herbal Essences beautiful ends.,I run this product through my hair for a couple of minutes, then I leave it in for about 5 minutes. After leaving it, I again really thoroughly wash it out, as there's nothing worse than having shampoo/ conditioner left in your hair.
When out of the shower I towel dry my hair until its reasonably dry, then either using a comb or a paddle brush, I brush through my hair getting out all the knots and tangles out.
I then get some Moroccan Oil curl cream and scrunch it up into my hair, making my sure I distribute the product all around my head. Then the most easiest part now is to leave it too dry, give your hair about 20-25 minutes and your hair should be mainly dry. Now if you still have a few stragley pieces of hair simply use a curling wand or some straighteners to touch it up and your done!
This routine takes not a lot of effort at all, and it makes my hair curly and full of life! If anyone tries this out, let me know how you get on and either e-mail me : ellabarker9@gmail.com or twitter me:@hatterswardrobe

Revlon Baby Stick.
Hello everyone! I would just like to say a big big thank you to everyone on twitter, I cant believe that I have just hit 300 followers! Now for some of you that's not a lot but for me it amazing! So basically I would just like to say thank you to everyone who follows me! If you want to follow me on twitter then the links here... click here
And if you want, leave a comment bellow with your twitter and I'll follow you!
So carrying on with todays post I thought that I would do a review on Revlons 'baby stick,' now this product is for both your cheeks and lips, so its a combined product. Now when I saw this on the shelf I was really intrigued to find out what it was like, but I have to say I am so disappointed.
Now normally I always try makeup out on my hand first before I buy it, just to see what its like, but with this product all of the items were all packaged up so I didn't want to open one and not buy it, so I just picked one up, thinking it was going to be great and waited until I got home to try it.
Being the person I am I put it down somewhere and totally forgot where I put it, so it was only the other day when I found it again! So I tried it out for the first time a couple of days ago and it was a complete waste of money, I was expecting to give a tint of colour to both my lips and cheeks, but when i applied it too both my lips and cheeks nothing showed up, it was like i didn't even applied it.
I was so disappointed as it did nothing, but the only thing I could suggest to do is either use it as a highlighter as when you do apply it, it gives off a shining glow which does look rather cute, and then for your lips use it as a lip care product as it adds moisture and softness to the lips.

just a quick notice!
This is just a quick post that I would like to explain what is going to happen this year to do with posting on my blog.
So you might not already know but its getting to this stage now in my high school education where things are going to be buckling down a lot! As I am going into all of my GCSE courses things are going to be different and more difficult so I will have less time to think about my blog.
Now for me I love blogging and I am definitely not going to stop, but I do care more about my education as obviously its more important! So because I want to do really well in all of my subjects, I want to put 100% into all my homework and course work, even if that means only posting once a week. But like I said I still am going to carry on with blogging but the posts will not probably be as frequent!
Also it would be great if you could follow my blog, the button is here on the right hand side >>>

Back to school supplies
As everyone is either going back to school or just have gone back to school I thought I would do a school supplies post! Being the un-organised person I am, I have only just bought all my stuff, so I might just be a little late for some off you, but if your like me and haven't got your things yet, then carry on reading as it might give you a little help on what to get.
So I've just started year 10 which means this year I will be starting all my GCSE courses, so I need the right equipment for the different subjects. One of the subjects I chose was BTEC sport, in this subject you do a lot of theory, so I bought this ring binder which would help me keep all my work together. This was from Sainsbury's and was a right bargain at £1.99.
As I will be revising a lot and having to take notes I got this A5 spiral Project Book from B&M, it was a total bargain at 99p so I just had to get it. It has 4 different sections which is split by colourful insert, this will help keep my work apart but keep everything in the same notebook which is great as you don't need to carry around several different notebooks.
I just got some bog standard pens, but the thing I like about these ones is they don't rub against your hands when you write which can be the case with most pens! Then for my pencils, I got these multi-coloured mechanical pencils, you twist the bottom too make more lead come out, and they also have a rubber at the top which is great for alllllll the mistakes I make. Then for the times in English or in another subject where you want to make your work colourful and make it easier to reference something I got a pack off 4 highlighters.
I also got a maths set which probably everyone would need, this is just a normal one, which contains 2 triangles, ( or whatever there mathematical name is ) a protractor, a compass with a pencil, ruler, rubber and pencil sharpener! Also for maths I bought myself a scientific calculator which you 100% need, this was not in the set though.
My pencil case which I got was this pug face one, this is the cutest thing I have ever seen so I was like I need I need! This was from a small, cute shop in a near by town but the brand that its from is called Catseye and it was only £10, I am totally in love.
For my shoes I picked up these T bar ones from Topshop, they have a really good soul which is going to last through all seasons and I just think that they are super cute! These were £34 and they will definitely last all year round.
Then finally my school bag is from River Island, its a plain black with a zip at the front also from the shoulder strap is a tassel! The reason why I like this bag is because you can either wear it on the shoulder or just have it from your wrist. It was £40 which is a little bit on the pricey side but I know it will definitely last and hold everything in.
Hope I wasn't too late and you enjoyed it!

a mini haul.
I'm just going to start by saying this month I am not going to be doing an August favourites purely because I have no new products to show you! It would be very boring to read and write if its something that I haven't really taken much interest in this month.
So stopping with me rambling on, I thought that I would do a little haul post all about the things I have bought over the last couple of weeks. I haven't really done one of these type of blog posts in a while so I thought I would give it another go.
For starters I have this Football jersey from Topshop, these kind of tops have been around for a while now and I've wanted one for ages as I thought they were really cool and tied in really well with my fashion sense, so thanks to my mother she went out and got me one as a present! She picked me up one that was mesh, so you could either wear a vest top underneath it or even just a bandeau. I really like this top because of the colours and the way you could wear this. (high waisted shorts, leggings or jeans)
Now these next 3 items of clothing were all purchased from the Primark section in Selfridges, now when I was looking round there section I was coming across some lovely stuff, things that you wouldn't find in the normal Primark store, and still very cheap!
First is this woolly jumper, now I got this because its going into the autumn / winter time and things are going to get a bit chilly (which I am super excited about. ) The reason why I picked this up was because of the colour, its a light blue with little bits of purple and pink which I think is super cute! Now being from Primark I was expecting the jumper to be itchy or uncomfortable but it really isn't!
This is just a plain, deep green top that I can just wear round the house or when I have nothing special to do. I really wanted a top that I could just pair with leggings and some statement jewellery and it would look the part. I really like how it fits on me as its not too big but yet still a baggy top, and also I love how to top is shorter at the front and longer at the back, it adds a little bit more style to a basic top.
Then my last thing from Primark was this grey top with little studs going around the opening of the arm. This top reminds me of a very similar one from Topshop, and I was lucky because I was actually going to buy the one from Topshop but I decided that I shouldn't, so when I came across this one which is at a much better price, I had to snatch it up! This is again just a plain, sweet top that you could match with most things!
This too was another present off my mum which I wasn't expecting at all, when I went into the Victoria Secret shop at the Trafford Centre, I was smelling all the body sprays and I absolutely loved this one, my mum must have picked up on the fact that I was drawn to this spray and bought it me! I was over the moon when she gave me, 'Coconut Passion' is a smell that I could smell and smell all day long, and being priced at £11, I will definitely be making some more purchases!
I've also bought a lipstick by MAC called Lady Danger which I have already done a blog post on, so if you want to know more about this product that carry on scrolling down!
I feel like I have rambled on to you there but thank you for reading, and very soon I will be posting all about my back to school supplies and what I have bought for the back to school period. To be updated don't forget to follow me on Twitter / bloglovin' and even on my blog too!
Don't forget to leave a comment to tell me what you guys thought!

Garnier Deep Cream Wash review.
It's weird to think that this is my first skin care product review, but today's post will all be about Garnier Deep cream wash, and how it has works for my skin.
For me as I'm growing and wearing more make-up my face has to go through some consequences, but recently as we are going back to school I really want my face to feel fresh and spot free. So I've been using two spot creams for a while now, seeing which one is better for my skin and benefits me more, so after a couple of weeks me and my sister both decided on this product purely because it does our skin justice! Squeezing an almond size amount, rubbing and massaging it onto your face and then rising with water is the most easy and efficient way to do it and luckily that's all you really need to do, applying this product to your skin every morning and night will help bring your skin on heaps and bounds!
Can I say how silk smooth your face feels, the cream wash just glides across your face when applying, also it gives off the most refreshing smell which makes me want to use it more and more.
But the most important part is what it has done for my skin, now I'm not going to lie the first couple of times I used it nothing seemed to change, but then continuously using it my face started to become clearer and more spot free!
I highly recommend this too all teenagers and even adults who want to get rid off all those blemishes and imperfections!

JuJu Jellies - A blast from the past
JuJu jellies are a blast from the past as a lot of people these days are wearing these shoes as a fashion statement, so after seeing the mad rave about them I decided to go out and buy some a little while ago.
In my opinion I love them, I think there unique and a little bit quirky, wearing these with some frilled socks really make the shoes stand out. At first I was going to buy the silver glittery ones but I thought I would go for the original Black ones, which was a good choice as they go with more and it is easier to pair up with things.
People might think that you might get sweaty feet in them (disgusting I know) but I only wear mine with socks so I wouldn't know, but after doing some research I have found that a lot of people have said that there feet weren't sweaty at all due to the sandal style which lets your feet to breath.
Also which is great about these shoes is the heel, the heel is at a comfortable height which wont make your feet ache which is essential in shoes! There really easy to walk in too, so you don't need to worry if you'll be walking long distances.
What is your opinion on these shoes as I know people don't get them?

Liebster Award - Round 2
So too my astonishment I have been nominated once again for the Liebster Award thanks too: http://mystyleanthology.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/liebster-blog-award.html . Go check her out as she has some great blog posts that you should all go and read!
So if you don't already know what the Liebster Award is about or what you have to do, go to my other post to see the information, also where you can see me answering some questions that were given too me. click here
So shall we begin?
Questions:
1. When did you start blogging?
Well, to be honest I haven't been a blogger for a while, I started back in May this year but its only been recently where I've really been into it all.
2. What is your most exciting part of blogging?
The most exciting part for me about blogging is when someone says something positive about your blog, it makes me happy knowing that someone, even if its just a couple of people, are reading and liking my blog.
3. What are 3 of your favourite hobbies (beside blogging!)?
Well you probably won't know this but I'm a dancer, I do a little of contemporary and then street. My second hobby would be netball, I play Goal Attack for the school team and that's probably the one sport in school that I love playing. Then finally I would definitely have to say shopping, I don't think that any beauty and fashion bloggers don't like a little bit of shopping every now and then, right?!
4. What is your favourite season?
Ooh this is a hard one, its either between Summer or Winter, I love Winter because of the nights in by the fire and the fact that its near Christmas, but I think that I would have to say Summer just because everyone in Summer seems to be more chilled and relaxed, also the warm weather (that's if England has any!!)
5. Who is your idol?
I don't know if you mean celebrity or not so I'll just interpret it myself! I would have to say my sister, me and my sister I think have a great bond, she's 19, 20 soon and I'm 14, were not a similar age but we still get along so well, we tell each other everything and I love her to pieces!
6. What is the one thing you cannot live without?
This is an easy one, CHOCOLATE BISCUITS!! If you didn't know already, I have a crazy obsession with chocolate biscuits, (weird I know) all my friends and family make a joke about it but there just so delicious!
7. What is your top tip for new bloggers?
If you love blogging and all aspects off it then don't give up, sometimes you might think that nobody is reading or taking any interest in it but it all takes time.
8. What is your favourite TV show?
I can't just choose one so it would have to be 'Made In Chelsea', I love knowing the gossip and what's happening in peoples love life's, and then i looove 'Keeping up with the Kardashians,' they have to be my favourite celebrity family, all of them are just so funny and great to watch, both shows get me hooked!
9. What is your favourite song?
Well as my friend Chloe ( candlesandcurls) said in her blog post, my favourite song is young and beautiful by Lana Del Rey, its just so powerful and heart warming to listen too! I listened to it that much that I even got her liking it too! As you can tell its a very attaching song!
10. What is your favourite blog post you have written?
Uhm I would have to say my first ever post 'Foundation Face', it was the first time I had written a proper post and I was so pleased with myself!
11. What is the best piece of advice you have been given?
Well a couple of days ago I wrote on twitter that I didn't feel like anyone was reading my blog, and I don't know his full name but http://www.stylishengland.blogspot.co.uk/ gave me a link to a blog which was telling me about dealing with success and failure, and this post truly changed my mood! There were some really good advice given and really helped me! Go check out her page here!
As I have already written a Liebster Award post before, I thought that I wont nominated again as a lot of people have already been nominated! So thanks again for nominating me, it was lovely too find out again!

Then finally I would definitely have to say shopping, I don't think that any beauty and fashion bloggers don't like a little bit of shopping every now and then, right?!
4. What is your favourite season?
Ooh this is a hard one, its either between Summer or Winter, I love Winter because of the nights in by the fire and the fact that its near Christmas, but I think that I would have to say Summer just because everyone in Summer seems to be more chilled and relaxed, also the warm weather (that's if England has any!!)
5. Who is your idol?
I don't know if you mean celebrity or not so I'll just interpret it myself! I would have to say my sister, me and my sister I think have a great bond, she's 19, 20 soon and I'm 14, were not a similar age but we still get along so well, we tell each other everything and I love her to pieces!
6. What is the one thing you cannot live without?
This is an easy one, CHOCOLATE BISCUITS!! If you didn't know already, I have a crazy obsession with chocolate biscuits, (weird I know) all my friends and family make a joke about it but there just so delicious!
7. What is your top tip for new bloggers?
If you love blogging and all aspects off it then don't give up, sometimes you might think that nobody is reading or taking any interest in it but it all takes time.
8. What is your favourite TV show?
I can't just choose one so it would have to be 'Made In Chelsea', I love knowing the gossip and what's happening in peoples love life's, and then i looove 'Keeping up with the Kardashians,' they have to be my favourite celebrity family, all of them are just so funny and great to watch, both shows get me hooked!
9. What is your favourite song?
Well as my friend Chloe ( candlesandcurls) said in her blog post, my favourite song is young and beautiful by Lana Del Rey, its just so powerful and heart warming to listen too! I listened to it that much that I even got her liking it too! As you can tell its a very attaching song!
10. What is your favourite blog post you have written?
Uhm I would have to say my first ever post 'Foundation Face', it was the first time I had written a proper post and I was so pleased with myself!
11. What is the best piece of advice you have been given?
Well a couple of days ago I wrote on twitter that I didn't feel like anyone was reading my blog, and I don't know his full name but http://www.stylishengland.blogspot.co.uk/ gave me a link to a blog which was telling me about dealing with success and failure, and this post truly changed my mood! There were some really good advice given and really helped me! Go check out her page here!
