Proud to be British

1,2,3,4,5,6

As I am sure all of my followers/readers from the UK will know this weekend we have been given a whole 4 days off work (all of us that don't work in retail that is, although double pay woop!) So why four days off work you ask? This weekend marks the Queens Diamond Jubilee as we celebrate her 60 years on the throne. 

Now I will admit I'm not the biggest royalist, and I'm one of the few that don't have the weekend off work. So why do I care? Well I love the concept of tea parties, tiaras, cake, bunting and celebrating Britain! 

Above are my favourite pieces from the high-street that will be perfect for celebrating. Originally I was going to pick a selection of pieces from different high-street stores; however Topshop have out done themselves so much that i never made it past their website! 

How will you be celebrating the Diamond Jubilee?

Crazy Lips

Little bit of a random post today but I thought I would share with you four lipstick looks that I have created! As many of you may know Max Factor has recently held a competition for their new Flipsticks range asking for people to design their own lip look and be as creative as possible. The above four looks are what I came up with. Truth be told I wouldn't go out in two of these looks.... I will let you decide what ones those are! *wink*

I wish I had taken some better photographs of the watermelon lips as they turned out surprisingly well considering I had to make my own lipstick out of a Max Factor green eye-shadow and Vaseline!

Hope you are all having an amazing Jubilee weekend so far, maybe you could create your own jubilee lip look and send them my way? (Don’t worry you can make them more wearable than mine) I would love to see what you come up with.

P.s thank you to my new followers!

Lets do the twist

Today i thought i would share with you how I've been doing my hair, over the last few weeks I have been twisting my hair up in a variety of different ways and simply pinning it in place. Its such an easy and fast hair style and perfect when I'm in a rush for work! Every time i twist my hair up it ends up slightly different so i thought i would share some of these looks with you over the next few weeks!

Please ignore my light blonde/ginger patch, I had a traumatic experience at the hairdressers last summer and lets just say i ended up with green and yellow patches in my hair! Not what i was going for in the slightest but I'm sure most of us have a terrible hair story. Care to share your hair disaster?

Also girls I'm going to be putting up an exciting giveaway tomorrow so don't forget to check back to enter.

Minty Fresh

Top and Cardigan: Newlook, Jeans: Tesco, Bag and Sunglasses: Primark

Sorry for the awkward photographs it's the first time I've used my tripod to take outfit photos and I'll admit its harder then it looks to take a decent snap but hopefully i will get the hang of it!

I've  been looking for a pair of coloured jeans for a while, originally i wanted pink ones but these minty green ones where love at first sight. They only cost £12 in Tesco and actually fit me relatively OK!

Also hello to my new followers! I currently have a long list of blogs to read so i will probably make my round to reading your blog soon if I haven't already! Also don't forget to cast your votes for the Cosmopolitan blog awards, there are so many great blogs out there, just click the link in my sidebar.

Summers Reception

Top: Newlook, Skirt and Bag: Primark, Hair Clip: Asos

Yesterday i attended a friends wedding reception and this is the outfit i finally settled on wearing. The weather has been so lovely i wanted to wear something summery but not too casual. This maxi skirt is one of my favourite new purchases and was a bargain at only £10 from Primark. Although I'm a big fan of heels it's been far to hot to wear heels so i teamed the maxi skirt with a pair of pale pink ballet flats.

I had a lovely time at the reception and both the bride and groom looked amazing, i hope they both have an amazing future together!

P.S Looking at these photos I'm realising how little hair i have, although my hair is finally a length i am happy with i really want some more volume! Maybe i will go back to hair extensions?
