Beauty Product- Moisturizer, For some reason recently I've gotten into the pattern and habit of moisturizing loads!

A 'smart' idea...

Earlier i was just randomly thinking about different clothes and fashion trends and stuff, and I have to say I really want to wear a tie! Not with a shirt (too formal), not with a high neck t-shirt because firstly it looks bad, and secondly they don't suit me. But like a black tie tucked into a white tank top with a high waisted skirt or pair of shorts.
Is this my tiredness speaking or could this actually look good...hmmm...

The sweet smell of childhood!

Is it only me who loves the smell of sun lotion?! It just reminds me of being a child in the summer, when you go to school and everyone is completely covered in the stuff!!

I just had this random thought and thought i'd share it with you!

I guess i should probably make this post a little more beauty related!

Sooo...

Sun lotion is great for your skin, it really is bad for you to be sitting outside in the sun for a long time, no matter how lovely your tan is!
I have my body sun lotion but my everyday moisturizer is SPF 15 i think as well, its from the dermatological clean start range, which is specifically for teenagers. It really is a great range especially the spot cream!

Yeah..i guess that's all i have to say! have a great evening or day, or whatever time it is where you live!!

I want it!

My recent fashion love but something I've never really liked that much in the past is...

Leather trousers!
I saw a pair the other day in Miss Selfridge, and i thought you know what, they could look awesome! If you like the real rocker look they are great, but i actually think they could look really great with a girly flowery top. The contrast looks lovely...
So i was going to buy them but two things stopped me!

1) They were £45, as a teenager i do not have that kind of money to spend on trousers!
2) This pair that i wanted, couldn't be washed! They could be wiped down but not washed, which is stupid for a pair of trousers as (especially leather ones!) you can going to get sweaty in them!

I ended up not buying them, but that doesn't mean i don't love them any less! i'm just going to look somewhere else for some cheaper, washable ones!

(the picture is of the actual pair i tried on)

Colours for your Eye Colour

When it comes to eye shadows and clothes, there are certain colours that really make your eye colour pop! So here are some tips to make your eye colour really stand out!

1) Don't wear the same colour as your eyes
2)If you have brown eyes- Greens, golds, blues, purples.
3) if you have green eyes- Similar to Brown eyes, Violet and plum shades are great!
4) If you have blue eyes- rich browns, Silvers, golds, greys
4) If you have hazel eyes- Pinks and pale purples look lovely!

I hope I've helped!!

Picnics

This post was suggested to me by a friend, so you'll have to thank her if you like this one hehe!

The main thing i love about summer is indeed a good old picnic! I had one today which was really fun! There is nothing better than friends, food and sun!
So to make this post more beauty/health/fashion-y i guess i thought i'd give you some ideas of how to make a picnic more interesting!!

1) make the food themed. Eg. Healthy food or food you remember from your childhood.
2) Make the clothes themed! Everyone has to wear something they wouldn't normally wear, or inspired by something!
3) Make it a planning picnic, picnics are quite casual events, and I honestly love planning stuff, i don't know why i just do! So make the picnic a meeting for your friends to plan a trip to the beach or even planning your lives if you want something a little more serious!

Go and invite a couple of your friends and no matter how old you are go for a picnic, you'll love it!

Anything goes

I'm the kind of person who every single day wears a different 'style' of clothing. Sometimes it's rocker, sometimes boho, sometimes just plain random and awesome!
So I encourage everyone to when you wake up tomorrow or the next time you get dressed, wear something you wouldn't normally wear or try a different style, I do it everyday and trust me, It's fun!!

Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse's death the other day really was a surprise to me, i found out about it on Facebook that evening, and i really was shocked. She was only 27. The same age as Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and Janis Joplin when they died.
As she did die from a drug overdose some people are less sympathetic towards her.
No matter how someone dies, when you are 27 and have so much talent it is a truly sad loss to the world.
I bought the recent edition of NME that was about her, and i love the cover. Its simple and elegant, it didn't need anything else on it.

My one true love...

I'm not even slightly ashamed to admit that i am genuinely in love with and addicted to sunglasses!

They are without a doubt my favorite accessory! Everyone should have a pair...or 10
