HAUL | ASOS, MISSGUIDED, NASTY GAL, NEW LOOK & LAVISH ALICE
So I've been really busy over the past month which you can probably tell from my lack of blog posts but I haven't let it get in the way of SHOPPING! I've bought some beautiful beautiful beautiful pieces and I still have a long wishlist of more things I want to buy, oh no!
I ordered from Nasty Gal for the first time ever, if you didn't know Nasty Gal is an American brand which have quite high prices. Although, their sale prices are really good. I got free delivery, shipping took 8 days and when the package arrived at the door I had to pay £30 in tax and duties -_- (which is not Nasty Gal's fault). When ordering I was really scared that I would order the wrong size as they of course do american sizes but I was so happy when trying the items on because they all fit me woohoo. Although I will be selling one of the items on depop as it's too short :(, I think I'll definitely be purchasing from Nasty Gal again.
I say this all the time and don't actually do it but their will be regular outfit of the days coming very soon.

FASHION | TOP 5 HOLIDAY PICKS
Seeing so many people post their holiday snaps on Instagram has made me really want to go on holiday. I've never actually been on a proper holiday so for now I'll have to dream about my perfect holiday.

BEAUTY | NAIL POLISH FAVORITES
Mushroom | Matt White | Cyan Blue | Nude | Grey
These are 5 out of 6 nail polishes I own, yes I only own 6 nail polishes! I've done perfectly fine with just having 6 nail polishes for the past year. As you can see they are all Barry M nail polishes, I really do think Barry M has the best range of colours and they dry amazingly fast.

AUGUST WISHLIST
I can't believe in 2 days it will be August! This year has gone so fast, I feel like I can now start counting down the days till I go back to university ahhh!
I have fallen in love with Missguided like crazy, I'm in love with everything on missguided and the fact that everything is affordable makes me fall in love even more! Out of all the wishlists I've done I feel like this is my favorite one. I love love love midi skirts and my friends always tell me my 'signature' look is a high waisted midi skirt, cropped top and chunky shoes. Although, I only have black midi skirts and I definitely need to add more colored midi skirts to my wardrobe.
Recently I've really been liking the whole dressing up tracksuits look, being able to wear a tracksuit but still look girly. For a day look I would pair the bustier with the the runner shorts and Adidas trainers. What do you think?
What's your favorite item on the wishlist?

LIFE AS A STUDENT | WHAT TO BRING TO UNIVERSITY
Hiya! Welcome to the next part of my Life As A Student series and today I'm going to give you an idea of what to bring to university. This will vary for many students because some universitys provide bedroom packs and microwaves,kettles etc etc. This is the exact list I refered to when buying and packing for university. Keep in mind I was a very excited university student and I didn't really need some of the things on the list. Also some things may be missing from the list because I bought them after I moved into my university halls. I hope this helps.

WHAT I GOT | CO ORD, BIRKS & A CHOKER
I also got a pair of Birkenstocks in pink! I haven't got much to say about them because my step dad bought them for me but I do really like them (mainly because they are pink!)

FASHION | OOTD
Summer is now in full swing and I must say its been full of good news; I passed my first year of university and I'm very happy with my grade, I finally got a job and after only working there 2 days I got some really good news from them, one of my flatmates wasn't going to live with us in second year due to being on placement but he has now changed his plans and will now be living with us for second year (MADHOUSE!) also I've got some really exciting things planned for my blog so all in all I'm a very happy girl.
If you've been reading my blog for a while you'd now I've had some issues with doing OOTD's and getting them up. Well, I have finally found a solution and that is getting my 8 year old brother to take them! I'm actually impressed and after taking today's OOTD he has now decided he wants to be photographer haha!

BEAUTY | BASIC EVERYDAY MAKE UP ROUTINE (SUMMER EDITION)
For the past few days in the UK temperatures have been getting as high as 31 degrees (which is very hot for us). I don't really want to be out in the heat wearing lots of make up so my routine is very different to my make up routine for cooler weather which you can read here.
I start of by putting a little bit of the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer under my eyes and I blend it using my finger. Personally, this is the perfect light concealer and when I have it on I don't feel like I'm wearing anything. I then fill in my eyebrows with Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in dark brown and then I clean it up with MAC Studio Finish Concealer in the shade NC45. In my tear duck I put a little bit of No7's eye shadow in Champagne and then I line my upper lids with Maybelline Gel Liner, depending on how I feel I might do a thin line or a really dramatic flick. I then pop on my eyelashes which I get from any Afro-Carribean hair shop and that's it. I have really oily skin and it gets extremely oily in the summer, especially on my T zone so I avoid putting make up on my forehead and my nose.
