Hi guys!

As everyone knows, today is Valentine's day. Unlike most people I don't really like celebrating this event, because you shouldn't need an excuse or just one day a year to be nice and loving towards your partner, as this should be done every day. I have been with Kieran for a while now and we have never paid much attention to this day as we show affection all the time :)

Anyway, I went out shopping with my best friend Amarah yesterday and we had our make up done by Benefit. Of course I bought some make up from there, you don't even need to ask!

The high beam highlighter is £19.50 and is used to illuminate your skin and to give you natural looking glow.

It looks like a large nail varnish bottle.

Another pair of frilly socks. (my obsession has no limits)

Those gorgeous cut out shoes/boots are from Topshop. They were on sale for an amazing £18! They only had size 7 left but with my eye for bargains I found the last size 5 pair, even though I'm usually size 6 these fit perfectly.

I hope you enjoyed this short post, let me know what you think and maybe what I should write about next time?

Lots of love,

Hey guys!

Wow it's February already! Next thing you know it'll be Summer! So, I recently got paid again and decided to go out shopping, because why not? I ordered a few items online as well, because I knew that if I went to have a look at them in store they will either be out of stock or have all sizes but mine left.

Cute little coral bracelet, I have a thing for bright colours at the moment.

I fell in love with this playsuit as soon as I laid my eyes on it. It's so girly and cute, I can't even express my opinion towards it! I got it in size 10 and it's tight on me and it's a bit short, so I will wait until Summer to wear it.

I got this white skater dress from Topshop and I wasn't too sure if I liked it at first. Then I've seen one of my friends wearing the same one but green so I thought 'wow if only I look half as good in this dress as she does then I'd be happy' so I added it to my basket. Just as I was about to process the payment, I got a notification saying they don't have size 8 any more, but I liked the dress so much that I got it in size 10. Wise move I would say, because it is very tight and I could barely put it over my head! However, it looks really nice when it's on, just add a gold statement necklace to it and some cute stud earrings and voilla! :)

I got this strapped top because I thought it would look very nice with shorts or leggings, especially when I go on holiday. The material is quite stiff but should be softer after a wash. 

I got this leotard because I needed something to wear with my new red shorts (scroll down). It's from Miss Selfridge and it was on sale!! I was really lucky because they only had my size left! And it was low in stock too. I would say, this leotard will look better on top heavy girls because of the mesh material in the middle. 

I bought this gorgeous slip dress especially for going out clubbing. It's so classy but sexy at the same time. It falls perfectly on my body, which I am very pleased about! It's so pretty that it doesn't need any extra accessories but a clutch bag, drop earrings and high heels. I got it in size 8 because it's very loose, but it's meant to be like that.

I bought these Kurt Geiger jelly shoes especially for my holiday this year, however I think it would be a crime if I din't start wearing them as soon as the weather gets better haha!!

I love frilly socks!!!

This roll neck crop top is definitely by far one of the best things I have ever purchased as it looks really good on me and I can wear it as a casual outfit with a pair of shorts or jeans, or for a night out with disco pants! I really need it in more than one colour, but sadly they didn't have any left in store at Primark as it sold out quickly due to being just £2.

I picked up this skirt as I thought it would look nice with a bandeau top and a blazer for a night out in the Spring.

I've wanted to buy some midi rings for ages now, and I found some lovely and very much affordable ones in Primark. They look really nice if you stack them up with normal sized rings and have pretty nail varnish on. :) 

All I have to say is - gorgeous chain for £4.

The red shorts. Not just any original shorts, but THE shorts. I was just walking around in Primark and they caught my attention from distance. I thought 'I must have them'. It took me a while to find them in my size as I had to chase a few of the workers around. (Sounds desperate but they're too perfect to miss out on). They make me look so slim!!! Definitely worth purchasing, especially as they have them in other colours too.

This maxi skirt is a must buy! It really compliments my figure and makes my legs look much longer, and for me being 5ft4 is kind of an achievement! The print is really psychedelic and would look great with a plain vest or a bandeau top.

This jumper is so cosy and you don't have to wear anything underneath it (I mean a strap top, not a bra;)) to make it look nice. It compliments curvy figures e.g. top heavy, and also hides a 'muffin top'.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this post and I shall write to you again soon!

Lots of love,

Hey beauties!

Just a quick post on a couple of my new clothes!

I bought a Topshop crop top, with 3/4 sleeves. It's see-through at the back, with just lace to cover it.

It's very soft in touch. I wish they hadn't run out of smaller sizes as the smallest size was a 10, and it's too big on me. I also bought some Mom jeans. I've been looking for some well fitting ones for a long time now and I have finally found these in Miss Selfridge! They are for petites so that's always good seeing as I'm really short. They fit me perfectly well. I will include some pics of me wearing those clothes in future posts, but that's all for today :)

Love, Maya xo

Winter Wishlist

I'm finally back at college yay! I was looking forward to seeing everyone again, but the worst news is that I have an end of unit controlled assessment for psychology boohoo :(
Winter is finally arriving :D I love all the seasonal decorations in shops, and have put some up in my house already! We can't forget about Halloween though and the spookiness last Thursday brought ;)
My Winter Wishlist only includes clothes and accessories from Topshop, as the items are quite pricey.
Those items will definitely take place on my letter to Santa!!

All of these items are just so beautiful. I would say my favourite item is the pink boyfriend coat. Look ho gorgeous it is!!

As everyone knows that I have a little brother and sister, I had to take them out Trick or Treating. I decided I was going to dress up so I don't feel left out haha. My sister was a zombie, and my brother was a skeleton, so I thought 'I'm going to be a sugar skull!'. I felt like a little kid again, doing my makeup took me about 20 minutes so it wasn't that bad for my first try! The second time I did my make up was when I was going to an Ice Skating Halloween foam party, (which unfortunately I couldn't go to any more due to a really bad cold) turned out better than my first attempt (yay). Here's a picture of me and my siblings before leaving the house to go Trick or Treating:

To achieve this look I have used face paints, and found a picture on Google Images of a sugar skull. My sister has also used some of my face paints to create the 'hungry zombie' look, and my brother is wearing a mask as he always rubs his face!

And here's a picture my make up the day after Halloween:

I have changed things up a bit and didn't use any face paints. For my eyes I used black gel eye liner, and gold glitter eye shadow. The flowers and stitches on my face are drawn with a black pencil liner. My nose is also drawn with gel eye liner, and my lips are contoured and filled in with red lipstick.

 I don't like the feeling of face paints on my face as they feel very heavy and oily, which is a big no-no for me. it's always good to experiment with different materials.

Hope you had an eventful Halloween this year!
