OOTD: RED & BLACK

Sunglasses: Primark | Choker: Ebay | Top: Charity Shop | Jeans: Primark | Bag: River Island | Sandals: Primark | Watch: Casio


Quite a simple 'Ive just thrown this on' kind of outfit. I was about to walk to my hans house, so there was no reason to dress up as such. I feel as though there is a 90s vibe about this look, with the choker and style of top which I managed to find in my local charity shop! I've just realised how much black is in this outfit - even though it was quite warm outside, so I was baked before I even reached my nans house!

What were you up too in the sun?

OOTD: THE FLORAL SHIRT

Floral shirt: Vintage Market | Top: H&M | Skirt: American Apparel | Watch: Casio | Clutch: Primark | Flatforms: Primark

I love clutch bags at the minute, for my essential items that I need with me, rather than lugging a massive bag around that I fill with pointless rubbish. These flatforms are so comfy and easy to walk in as they aren't really a heel so my foot is more or less flat. I personally think this could be worn within the day and taken through onto the night, with the help of some more accessories like a chunky necklace?

What do you think? Would you rock this day or night? or both?

THE CO-ORDINATE


I love a good Co-ord outfit! Such a simple idea, but looks so amazing and 'neat'. At the minute they seem to be everywhere you look in store, online, in every magazine so in my opinion you might swell embrace them while they're around (which might be a while!) They are so simple to style, whether for a casual look with some Doc Martens and a biker jacket or a dressy occasion with some strappy sandal heels and dainty jewellery accessories.

Here Ive found a few of my favourite co-ordinate outfits that are available in high street and online stores. There are plenty more available in so many variations of colours, lengths and styles so you are bound to find something that takes your fancy.

OOTD: FLORAL STRIPES

Sunglasses: Primark | Necklace: Charity Shop | Tshirt: Primark | Playsuit: Urban Outfitters | Belt: Charity Shop | Bag: Primark | Reebok Classics: ShopStyle.co.uk

It's finally feeling like summer here in England! Just a casual comfy outfit to run some errands in, I thought I would take advantage of the sun and walk rather than catching a bus or taxi (plus I'm so unfit its ridiculous! - this is changing as of now!) hence why I have my Reebok classics on which I LOVE to bits as they're all lilac and pretty. I'm not going to babble on as the pictures are pretty self explanatory of what I'm wearing. Hope you're all enjoying the lovely weather!

OOTD: PRIMARK OVERLOAD

Jumper: Primark | Skirt: Primark | Sandals: Primark | Bag: Primark

So I put together this outfit, then realised that every single item was from Primark! In my opinion I don't think any item look particularly 'cheap' and Primark have had some amazing items in store lately (as I seem to be mentioning far too much in my posts haha) But anyway! I put this fluffy jumper on as a substitute for a jacket as its too cold without one and just a shirt on but far too hot to be wearing both. I kept it simple without any jewellery or accessories as the bold print of the skirt and bold colour of the bag is all that the outfit needed.

MY MORNING & EVENING SKINCARE ROUTINE

(clockwise) Nivea Daily Essentials Refreshing Toner | Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser | Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic | Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser | Witch Blemish Stick | Nivea Daily Essentials Express Hydration Primer


Its only been the past few years that I have really started to understand the importance of skincare. Before I would wake up, splash some water on my face and then throw my makeup on without even moisturising (I know, I'm horrified too!) I have really sensitive skin and have trouble finding products that don't flare me up in spots or a rash, but these the are products that have become my holy grail in the world of skincare that I can rely on to keep me looking healthy.

MORNING ROUTINE
Cleanse - apply a pea sized amount of Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish onto fingertips and then rub this onto face. Then using warm water and a muslin cloth I rub off the cleanser in soft circular motions.
Tone - Using a cotton pad and Nivea Refreshing Toner I rub this over my face to remove any excess cleanser or makeup/oils left on my skin.
Moisturise - I then apply a small amount of Nivea Express Hydration Primer to my face. (You don't need much as it spreads so easily) It kind of works as a moisturiser and a primer, so you don't have to add an extra layer to your base makeup.

EVENING ROUTINE
Cleanse - I repeat the same routine as I do in the morning, but scrub a little harder to remove my makeup from the day and any dirt that has caught up in my pores.
Tone - I use a cotton pad with Liz Earle Skin Tonic to refresh my skin after the day of wearing makeup and to remove any cleanser that I have missed.
Moisturise - In the evening I apply Liz Earle Moisturiser as it is a lot thicker than the one I use in the mornings and can aid my skin throughout the night to leave it looking fresh when I wake up in the morning.

What's your skin routine? What products do you use at the moment?

OOTD: DENIM & CHECK


Denim Jacket: Charity Shop | Band Top: Primark | Skirt: Urban Outfitters | Belt: Charity Shop | Shoes: Schuh | Frilly Socks: Primark | Bag: Topshop | Lipstick: MUA Shade 2

I love a good old band t-shirt (yes, I listen to their music and know who they are!), I find them so easy to throw on and grunge up an outfit. I went for a casual vibe within this outfit but added a dressier touch with the heeled T-bar shoes. Perfect for a mooch around the shops or a casual lunch date! I am trying to wear more of my millions of pairs of shoes at the minute as I seem to just go for the same few pairs all the time and leave the rest sitting in the wardrobe gathering dust! 

What do you think of band tee's?
