TRAVEL || A LUXURIOUS STAY IN LONDON - WHAT TO DO IN THE CAPITAL OF UNITED KINGDOM


I, like many young women, love London for all the right reasons. It's a very multicultural city that offers luxurious stays, great shopping trips, and theatrical experiences. London is one of the oldest cities in the world, founded by early Roman settlers as a trading point, and has gone through several revolutions since ground was first broken. Now, London is known as one of the richest cities across the globe, which is reflected by the luxury that can be found when you decide to visit. To give you an insight into what sort of luxuries you can expect, this post should give you a few ideas of what to do when in London to maximise your experience.

Missguided Try On Haul

Hiya Everybody!

So, recently I've splurged a little bit on clothes and one of the brands I had shopped at was Missguided. I have made a wishlist featuring my favourite pieces not long ago which you can find here. I will link all items down below under each outfit.


As I'm going away to Rhodes next month, I got lots of outfits which are suitable for both daytime and nighttime wear which won't make me too hot in the sunny country.



Firstly, there's this gorgeous co-ord floral piece which only cost me £7 for the set in the sale! I absolutely love it and I think it'll look gorgeous on any skin tone. 



Here's another co-ord which is a bright orange colour. I didn't think it'll look that nice on me because of the colour, but I think it looks really nice and will be perfect for the summer holidays! Top - £5, Skirt - £5.



Right, I think there's a theme going on here as I had picked another co-ord haha! This piece comes in different colours but this one really caught my eye as I haven't got that many sparkly gold clothes. I especially love the top, I think it's very flattering and would look great with a pair of black skinny jeans in the evening for a night out on the strip. Top - £5, Skirt - £5.





Next up I bought two of the same skirt but in different colours. I chose the burgundy and the black as I think these colours are really versatile and can be easily paired up with different tops. They were quite hard to squeeze into but once they were on they felt comfy. I would recommend going for one size up though, just because the material isn't stretchy at all. Black Skirt - £5 and Burgundy - £5.



And the star of the post - this gorgeous crochet dress. I have been after one of these for a while and was willing to buy the one from my wishlist (here) but why spend £40 when I can spend £10 and get something even more beautiful for less? It fits perfectly and I really love it.

I hope you enjoyed this post as it's something different from what I usually do! 

What are your statement pieces this summer? Are you going away anywhere nice this year?

Lots of love,

Hello beauties!
Nothing's better than mid-Summer sales! I have got some amazing bargains during the past 2-3 weeks!
I got this gorgeous La Senza set for £7. £5 for the bra and £2 for the knickers. Talk about a bargain!!
Many of you who regularly read my blog, will know that I dropped my new Body Shop powder on a night out and it totally broke and crushed into tiny pieces :( I was heart broken as I've only been using it for just over a month! So I had to buy a new one. #emptypurse
Once you go MAC, you never go back....
I bought the Brush Cleanser for £11, the quad pro palette for £5 and the large palette insert for £2.50. Now I just need to stop gritting my teeth and spend another £14 on the actual large palette so I can start de-potting my eye shadows!
This gorgeous crop top was only £5 from Bank. What a great deal! I love the pattern on this top as well as the colours! It's just so Summery!
River Island jewellery is my fave x
This little ring set was reduced to £1. WOW!
This choker necklace was reduced to £2. Sorry the pictures aren't very clear, my phone's camera isn't very good.
I also grabbed this amazing bargain! £15, reduced from £38 for high waisted jeggings! 
Have you found any great bargains this week?
Lots of love,

Hello beauties!
Who's been enjoying this weather? Me, Me, ME!!!! It is absolutely boiling in Nottingham, and I caught a bit of the sun. There is nothing better than having tanned skin and enjoying a beautiful weather. What I got up to those past few days is shopping, working and hitting the gym! I am determined to get very fit over the Summer just in time for my first girly holiday in August!
Anyway, here are pics of a few things I recently bought.
My little sister is obsessed with loom bands at the moment so I decided to buy some myself!!
Primark sunnies are the best. The prices vary from £1-£3. The white aviators were £1 and the mirror effect aviators were £2. 2 pairs for £3!!! BARGAIN!
Birkenstocks are a bit expensive, so I opted for the cheaper way and got some look alike sandals for only £5 from Primark. I've been wearing them every day since the day I got them and that was over a week ago. They are extremely comfortable.
This gorgeous handbag cost me £35 from River Island. Pricey but totally worth it!
I found this camisole in Vero Moda and had to try it on ASAP. It looks great on and weirdly suits my new hair colour! It was only £10, an amazing bargain especially as they accept NUS card so I got 10% off the bill.
This lovely skater skirt was reduced to £12 from I think £25 or £30 which is also a total bargain. It's great for this Summer and will look fantastic with a tan.
I've wanted to buy a 90's string top for a while now. I had a look around a local Miss Selfridge store and couldn't find any that I liked off the website, and you know what it's like when it comes to online shopping - it doesn't always turn out so great and something might not suit you. So I went into Topshop and found this lovely white top for only £6!!! I tried it on and really loved it. I will definitely purchase this top in more colours!
I've never tried Topshop's make-up but it would be a sin if I didn't buy these items for 50 PENCE EACH. I found this eye crayon in gold, a lip marker (lip stain) in red, and two sets of nail varnishes in variety of colours. I shall do a review on those products very soon.
This gorgeous velvet headband was reduced to £1 from £6 which is a total bargain for Topshop. Personally, I don't think I would have paid £6 for a headband as it's just an accessory.
Lots of love,

Hello Everyone,
There is no better feeling than finding amazing bargains on clothes, make-up, skin care and even books. I went round Charity shops in the local area and found great deals. I got 5 books for 30 pence each, coming up to £1.50 for the whole lot. I couldn't be happier. I am a massive book worm, and finding such great bargains on books which were originally on my to-buy list is a great feeling.
I am a huge Sex and the City fan, and Candace Bushnell is an amazing author. I own 6 of her books now, including the Lipstick Jungle.
I've read the 50 Shades of Grey Trilogy and thought the books were quite good, even though I expected more of them. I've heard of Sylvia Day's Bared to You books and thought that I should give them a go, at least the first one anyway. The fact that I found this book for 30 pence is shocking. And amazing!!!
Nicholas Sparks is my all-time favourite author. I love all of his novels and film adaptations. I had to add The Lucky One to my collection.
I loved the film, so I reckon I will love the book even more.
This film is beyond beautiful.It made me cry so many times throughout the 2 hours haha. I reckon the book will make me just as emotional.
What's better than a storage box for £1? I got this from Poundworld and decided to store all my single eye shadows and eye shadow palettes.
4 storage baskets for £1 also from Poundworld. I'm going to use these to store my lipstick, each basket for different shades: reds, pinks, nudes and assorted colours.
Look how cute the baskets are. They are so tiny!
I adore Eylure eyelashes and when I saw these in Poundland I had to grab them! I only bought one pair to try them out and see if I like the style. I will definitely buy more pairs if I like these.
The flash on my camera is on the product so you can't see it very well, but I got the Nip+Fab concealer on sale at Tesco for only £2.49 reduced from £9.99. I'm very excited to try this product, especially as I ran out of my Rimmel concealer and had to buy a new one. I will review this product very soon.
I got this Nike gym top from a Charity shop for £2.99. I love the colour and cannot wait to wear it when I next go gym :)
I got this Next Camisole from another Charity shop for only £1.49!! I can't wait to pair it up with a pair of black or white jeans. This post just shows how good I am at finding great bargains! I must say that I'm always happier when I go shopping and spend a little money for a lot of clothes, rather than splash out for one item. I've learnt how to spend my money, at last!!!
If you have any questions then don't be afraid to drop a comment or email me :)
