OTTD

I thought I would do something different today and show my outfit of the day.  Not done one of these and I'm so behind in all my posts after my holiday.  I decided to do this as everything I wore today was from Hong Kong, so at least I get to show you some of the things I bought!

As you can see from my iphone screen shot London as had really good weather for the last two days and today was no different.  So I wanted something light and summery.  I opted for a peach blouse and a pair of green shorts, two colours that I am loving at the moment.  You will see in a post later that most of the stuff I bought were these two colours!

As you can see the blouse was quite long at the front, but shorter at the back, so that you can see the shorts.

The shorts were just under £3 and the blouse was £5 in hong kong, cheap and cheerful fast fashion!  One of the reasons why I love Hong Kong so much!

Hello Cavities

I came across Hello Cavities a few weeks ago and I immediately fell in love with their products

Sharon is so talented and has created Planet Helca which is a world of costumes, candy and cavities.  One of her products are t-shirts which can be found at her Etsy shop here.

Not normally a wearer of t-shirts I fell in love with Hello Cavities t-shirts straight away.  There are many inspired character ones, such as Little Mermaid, and minnie mouse.  For those that know me, I picked Hello Kitty although I do now wish I also got the little mermaid one as well!

Loving my t-shirt...thank you Hello Cavities!

London Shopping Mini Haul

Took a small trip to London yesterday and decided to buy a few things.  

First stop was to 'The Big Egg Hunt' pop up shop.  Decided to get a few things from here as all the money goes to charity, so wanted to do my part.  I got a shopping bag, love some of the eggs on this bag, an i-spy book and an oyster card holder.

After seeing all the eggs in Covent Garden, we made our way down to Regent Street and Carnaby Street.  

In Superdry, I got a hoodie for £49.99, decided to buy one as I kept on wearing my husbands and his is too big for me!

The last shop I bought from was on Carnaby Street, Monki.  This is a new shop that opened recently so was excited to go in a have a look.  Before I show you what I got, I thought I would show you the bag and receipt...so kawaii!

So I ended up buying things with the same colour theme!!

So the top on the left was £5 and one on the right was £12.  Perfect for summer

This purse was £10, thought it would make a nice new make-up bag.

I have to say the shop is amazing, decor is brilliant and I could definitely have bought more if I had more wardrobe space!

30 Minute Shopping Haul

Yes, I only had 30 minutes at Bluewater before the shops closed, but that didn't stop me from getting a few bits!

First stop was Boots, my aim was to get to get the new BB cream from Sanctuary but unfortunately they didn't have testers so chose not to buy as didn't want to get the wrong colour.    Instead I picked up a nail varnish from Barry M and some stick on nails from imPRESS.

I chose the Mint Green nail varnish as I read so much about the new colour trend, Mint Green and fell in love with it.  Most recent post I read was from Chikka Live Love Laugh.  (Picture below from her post, click on the link to read her post)

imPress relatively new over in the UK, if you signed up to Glossybox you probably have come across it as it was in the latest box for some.  Unfortunately not for me.  Very easy to use, peel from the sides or apply polish remover, wait 1 minute and then peel off.  Claims are if applied properly, this could last up to a week!

After Boots I still managed to get into H&M and New Look.  At H&M I bought some beige pumps, I never seem to have some normal colour pumps, thought this would be good when I choose to wear bright colours.  If you get the chance, you should definitely pop into H&M, lots of colourfull pumps from £7.99, not bad a price.

In New Look, I kept to one colour theme, yes you guessed it, same as above.  Each item was £19.99.

Love this cardigan, jeggings and some wedges.

So I managed to get all of this in 30 mins, imagine if I had 5 hours!!!!

Nails of the Day (NOTD) #1

So I recently bought the Barry M Mint Green nail polish and decided to use it today.

I fell in love with it straight away.  I then came across funkyyeahprettynails on Pinterest (more on this later) and decided I need to try it out

Finished article below.  Still need to practice a bit more, don't have a steady hand!

Can't wait to see what other nail art I can try

MUA Review - Love Hearts and Others

I can't remember now where I came across MUA, think it was on Twitter.  MUA stands for Make Up Academy and they do a range of Make Up at very good prices.  This collection is available on the internet or Superdrug.

One of their most recent ranges is the Love Hearts Range.  Being a soppy, I love hearts so was drawn to this.  It took me a while to find the range in Superdrugs as its not in all their Superdrugs.  In this range they have lip balms and nail varnishes, all at only £2!  Not bad to be honest!

I purchased two nail varnishes and one lip balm from the Love Hearts range.  Haven't tried the nail varnishes yet, but have tried the lip balm.  The lip balm goes on smoothly and has a lovely smell to it which is a bonus.

I did decide to purchase some other bits as well to give it a try.  I got a silver nail varnish and also the Glamour eye shadow pallet, the latest addition to their range.  The nail varnish was £1 while the eye pallet was £3, originally £4.

Most of the colours seem to go on well, theres probably just two which doesn't show much.  Definitely worth a try at that price.

MUA has had good reviews from magazines like Heat.  So its worth giving it a go, theres so much to choose from in the range.  For more information, click here

Accessory Haul

New Look currently have a 'Buy One Get One Free' offer on jewellery, so I decided to go and have a look and see if there was anything I could find.  In my opinion New Look is good for fast fashion at good prices.

I managed to pick up two sets of bracelets.  The first being a set of pastel colours to go with the pastel trend.  This was at £5.99.

I wear a lot of black so I thought this set would go perfectly.  A bit of silver and I love the animal print as well.

My Second Claireabella Bag

Yes, I got another one to add to my collection!  As I mentioned in a previous post,  Claireabella had launched a Limited Edition Valentines range and I managed to get myself one, thanks to my husband paying!! Well men aren't that great in getting Valentines presents are they?

I received it the other day and once again have fallen in love with it.

My collection is now growing!!!

Mini Shopping Haul

Yes this was only mini, as I had a bit of time waiting for my husband to meet me in Oxford street one evening that I decided to pop into the shops to see what I could find!

Firstly one of the main trends are jeggings with a pop of colour.  Brights and pastels are some of the main colours this season.

Being someone who feels more comfortable in leggings, I did take me a while to convince myself to buy some bright jeggings or coloured jeans.  My blue ones are from M&S...very soft and the purple ones from Forever 21, jeans for £12, bargain for high street fashion!

Some other bits I got from Forever 21....

2 tops, love the colours, they look quite big but look really well on

The skirt below is my favourite buy.  Its shorter on the front and longer at the back.  Really soft fabric, love the colour and the style.  £19 this cost.  Can't wait to wear this out!

Not bad in 45 mins!
