Some of you attentive people may have spotted the little blue button that appeared a couple of days ago on my blog. If you didn't spot it or you don't know what it is don't worry because I'm about to explain it all.




Bloglovin' is a place that let's you know when one of your favourite bloggers post something new. It allows you to follow any blog aswell as claim your own blog so people know it was written by you.

I recently made an account and claimed my blog. I have followed my friends blogs and bigger blogs I like. It's really good and all you need to register is an email you don't have to actually write a blog to join, but if you do it can be a great way to expand and grow your blog. You can view the web page or read posts on the app. I'm really enjoying using it and recommend that you create an account.

Haul-Summer Holidays

Hi There!

How are you all doing; I hope your all having a great summer. Today I thought I would do a small haul of the things I purchased today. So earlier today I went to meadowhall with some of my friends and we all bought some summery clothes. Even though I'm not going away this holiday I bought them because the weatepher gasps been so nice here in England today it was 28 degrees! Which I know might not sound that hot to some of you but to us, trust me it's hot. So anyway here's what I bought...

The first thing I bought was this really nice almost skater like Jersey dress from H&M. It's really simple but really comfy amd it's not thick which is good in this weather. It's black with little white flowers and dots all over it and it isn't too low in the back.


The next thing I bought was also from H&M and it's this navy blue sleeveless crêpe dress with white polka dots on it. The crêpe material of this dress isn't itchy and was surprisingly comfy. I like this dress because you can dress it up and dress it down so it's great for taking a look from day to night.
The final thing I bought from H&M was this simple black skater skirt. Again you can dress it up amd down depending on what you pair with it. 


Next I went to Boots and I bought two lipsalves. I've had the boots essentials lip balms before and I really like them because they moisturise your lips immediately. The pink one enhances your natural lip colour and the green smells of spearmint and hydrates your lips. 


Then when we were in Meadowhall we spotted a models own stand that looked really cool because it was shaped like a tipped over nail polish bottle and the staff were really friendly. Anyway from there I bought a gel topcoat which I have just used on my nails now and it feels a little bit different to a regular topcoat and is meant to last for two weeks. 


And finally I picked up an Impulse body spray in the scent very very pink and it's a really node refreshing smell and is lovely for the summer.

And that is all I bought from Meadowhall today have  a nice summer everyone.

Bags-What's in my Beach Bag

Ciao Everyone,

Today I thought I would do a post on what's in my beach bag.

I went to Saltburn-on-sea yesterday with my family as I broke up for my summer hols last Friday. I had a really fab time and the chips were definitely worth waiting for! Anyway here's what I took with me.

This is my beach bag, I got it from PRIMARK last year. It's just plain black canvas with cream thick canvas handles on either side. I like this because it's big enough to fit everything in but not too big.

I  brought a thin long sleeved pink cardigan with me in case it got cooler later on.

The second thing I have in my bag is a towel. This one is pink with rows white polka dots on it. I lay on this and use it to dry my feet if I go for a little paddle in the sea. 
The next thing I brought with me is sunscreen. This is the Nivea moisturising sun spray in 30 high. I find this one gives me really good protection and doesn't turn me blue like some sun creams! It also moisturises your skin.
I put a bottle of  water in my bag to keep me hydrated whilst I was at the beach. It's actually plain still water I was just reusing an old plastic bottle. (And just in case you were wondering what I am wearing on my nails it's Collection's 60 seconds hot looks nail polish in shade 47 'Milkshake', Rimmel London's space dust in shade 003 'Aurora' on my accent nail and I have Barry M's 'all in one' on as a topcoat)
To read I took with me the late set issue of Shout and a book I've just started reading called Girls muddy, moody yet magnificent by Sue Limb.


I then had two smaller purses inside my bag the first one is this cute watermelon one from Boots which was my beauty bag. In it I had a mirror, a pack of tissues, a hair bobble, a couple of grips, a boots lipsalve and Rose, Rosa Centifolia moisturising hand & body lotion from Marks & Spencer's  The Floral Colection. I also put my pink tangle teaser in my bag. 

My second is what I've named my electronic bag. It's a blue pencil case from Asda. In it I have my Headphones, Phone, IPod, Portable Charger and lightning cable. I kept them in hear when I wasn't using them so they wouldn't get sand in them.
Finally the last thing in my beach bag is my purse, It's from Cath Kidston and I just had some money in there.
And that's everything that's everything that was in my Beach bag. I hope this helps you when you are packing for your trip to the beach.

OOTD-Le Tour de France

Hallo everyone,

How are you all doing? Today I thought I would do an OOTD (outfit of the day). On Sunday the Tour de France came past my house so we had a little party with a few friends and family. For those of you who don't know what the Tour de France is it's a bike ride that teams compete in and every year it starts in a different country before finishing in France. This year it's come to England and it just so happened that the route took them down past my house. The preparation has been really exciting because everyday you woke up there was so something new to see. There has been yellow bikes, bunting, bicycle sculptures, flags and all sorts. I even made some bunting myself  which we put up outside our house.
Anyway here's what I wore and some other pictures from the day.


I wore black jeggings from PRIMARK, a pink camisole and light purple top. I painted my nails a lovely dark mint green colour and layered four bracelets. Two loom bands, a bracelet I got from a market on holiday and a purple hair tie. I wore a pair of teal frilly socks and my blue pumps.


The fruit shoot float in the parade.







That's it for today's post see you again soon.
