Princess skirt

H&M skirt
Primark cropped tee (similar here)
Topshop Arabel boots
Primark Necklace

H&M and Primark rings

I put this on and immediately went to change. Then after trying an array of footwear on, I settled with my Arabel boots and actually decided I liked it. The heigh on my Arabel boots is perfect, not too high, not completely flat, but the length of the skirt is a little awkward. I'd love it all the more if it had an extra inch or two off it. But nonetheless I fell in love with crop tops and high waists.

I picked up my crop top from Primark for about £3 so although I've linked the Topshop one I'd recommend going Primark instead because well 1) they're cheaper and 2) Topshop ones have that horrible unfinished seam that just looks so tatty. I'll definitely be popping back in and picking up a few more colours before my holiday. I'd quite like a grey and a white one too.

This morning, I've taken full advantage of the free next day delivery offer on Missguided and ordered their Isabella Short Dungarees in Black. I've already had the email saying it has been dispatched so I'm planning a little cheeky outfit for a pub lunch with me and Daniel over the bank holiday weekend.

Nails Inc. Denim & Stud

Nails Inc. Denim and Stud: £19.00*

Nails Inc. claim their Denim and Stud set 'is a beautiful textured indigo shade that applies glossy and dries down to a classic denim effect finish.' It certainly does just that. It applies like an absolute dream and dries a textured blue in one coat. I waited to blog about this because I noticed after a days wear a silver shimmer appeared which I found very pretty, and I wanted to see what else happened. The texture also wears down to a smoother finish after a few days, but I for one quite like textured nail. In terms of chipping it still looks fresh as the day I painted them. Ten points!

This set includes the denim effect polish with the denim effect cap, a number of silver and gold stud embellishments, nail glue and cuticle sticks. I personally didn't like the studs. I just couldn't get on with them and they snagged on everything and just fell off. I reapplied them twice in the time I wore the polish and after a day they were ripped off.

Overall I really liked this product. I'd definitely give the studs a miss next time though since they snagged all of my tights! I know for a fact I wouldn't have paid £19 for it, even as a set, but if you are after something a bit different or for a gift for a nail art fanatic  then this is perfect.

Throwback to our summer by the seaside | #freeyourfeet challenge | Mirror shot

Date night outfit | The Great Gatsby - brilliant film! | New bedding

I couldn't have asked for a better week to kick start my four months off. I handed my work in on Monday and headed straight to Birmingham to see the beautiful Lana Del Rey. She's an exquisite little being, so dainty and beautiful. We were about 2 meters away from her and I just couldn't take my eyes off her all evening.

The majority of the week was then spent curtain shopping with Mum. Who knew that could be so tiring! After over an hour spent in just Dunelm I was ready for a nap. All afternoon I all I heard from Mum was "You should pick your fabric first before your paint" There's a tip for you all, but quite frankly I love the colours of my walls!

I received the Nails Inc Denim and Studs set to review which will be up this week. I was hoping to do it sooner but after such a hectic week last week and wanting to wait to get my nails done it has been put on hold. I also received a pair of Clarks shoes for their #freeyourfeet competition which I will be taking part in. It's all very exciting!

Last but by no means least... The Great Gatsby. What a film. Daniel took me to see it Friday night and oh my, it's wonderful! It's so beautiful, but sad at the same time. It made me wish that I lived in New York in the 1920's and that I had the party hosting skills of Gatsby.

Socks and Sandals

dress: H&M
shoes: River Island
socks: Topshop

bag: ebay
necklace: H&M

rings: Topshop and Primark

sunglasses: Primark

Oh how peaceful today has been! My first day of freedom from university, and let me tell you, it tastes good! I kicked off my four month break last night by seeing Lana del Rey at in Birmingham. She was perfect. But I don't think I'll ever hear the end of the fact my sister touched her.

I wore this outfit last Monday on the bank holiday. A few people shouted 'socks and sandals' but I'm not sure, would we class these as sandals? I liked it anyway. Don't shoot me. The colour of the dress was just screaming to have a pop of colour added to the mix.

Throwback to days in London | Breakfast in bed | The finished draft of my photo book

I couldn't miss my Sunday update no matter how much work I have to do! But it is just a quick one since my deadline is tomorrow. I've slowly realised university wasn't for me, but I've got one more year so I'm determined to graduate. 

My week started off perfectly with a little bank holiday barbecue at Mum and Dad's followed by an evening meal in Wetherspoons with all the family and Grandad. My ASOS skirt arrived this week, along with my Topshop Arabel boots, I've been dying to get these for ages and couldn't resist the strategic blogger photo of them posed on the box. 

I finally finished my one project for university that involved me creating a photobook. I filled mine with outfit post photos and you can even buy it on Amazon. I'm now spending the night finishing off my other project ready to hand in tomorrow and then I'm free until September!

Week #18

One of these white kitties is mine! | New blue bedroom | Pretty new phone case

Watching Youtube on the TV | New rings | Dinner for two

Ring stash | Blogging from my coffee table | Barry M Lychee

Throwback to M&M world | Pretty treats from Daniel | Sofa Sunday

It's been a pretty quiet week for me, I've spent the week settling in my new house whilst working towards my deadlines. So far this week I've handed in one project and an essay. I did manage to squeeze in a little review on the Barry M Gelly polish on Wednesday - a must have for any nail paint lover.

Finally my little kitty has been born! Which one I will have yet I don't know, I guess maybe a white one? It's slightly weird that the Mamma kitty had an all white litter but I can't wait to meet it and bring it home.

I've been slowly unpacking and still have a lot to do. I found my ring holder since I bought a stack of new rings from Primark and I love having them all on show. I also came home yesterday to some pretty jewellery from Daniel. The hands are from Urban Outfitters, I can't find it online anymore but they do have some lovely jewellery storage on the website.

I hope your enjoying your bank holiday weekend. I've spent the day on the sofa creating a Lookbook for my project and tomorrow I'm going to Mum and Dad's for a barbecue then out for a meal with Daniel.

BarryM Gelly Hi-Shine in Lychee

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in Lychee (£3.99)

The Gelly Hi-Shine range boasts of being 'a highly pigmented, chip resistant formula with a glossy gel like finish in just one coat'. I totally agree! I painted mine on Friday and moved house Saturday, but five days on they still look shiny. I did give mine two coats but I think that's just a force of habit and nothing to do with the product. 

Lychee was one of the original four shades to be released by BarryM and I was always drawn to this colour in particular. I think some nail colours can make my hands look terrible, but it's the perfect nude for my skin colour in a beige-y colour with the tiniest hint of yellow.

These come with a £3.99 price tag which is excellent for the quality and a much cheaper alternative to a gel manicure. At least this way you don't have to put up with the same colour for two weeks. They are stocked at Boots, Superdrug and I have seen them on Asos, so quick go get yourself some!
