Gotta love a bargain...

I'm off out for a catch up dinner with my best friend as we're now both back from uni :) What better time to take out my new ebay purchase?! I've been looking for a bowler type bag for a while now and I saw a studded one when I was out shopping. Although I loved it, on my student budget I couldn't justify the £25 it cost as I didn't really need it. Then, my wonderful sister found this bag that looked exactly the same for £8.99!! I was a bit worried about it being navy but I love it. 

I was also a bit naughty and bought this skull scarf from Primark but at £3 how could I not?!

Party time...

Today, I'm going with Ben and his family to visit his Nan down in West Sussex for her birthday. It should be a really lovely day :) I was in a bit of a predicament as to what to wear but then I remembered I bought this playsuit form H&M a little while back and still haven't worn it yet! I think paired with tights, it's a good smart/casual combo.

You might have seen on my twitter that I tried to do some galaxy inspired nails but it didn't really work/look like how it was supposed to. I still like how they've come out though :) Just need to keep practising I guess!

One swallow alone does not make the summer...

On a recent trip to Primark I found the most gorgeous skirt. I've been looking for one of those skirts that's got a shorter hem at the front than the back (not sure of the technical term ha!) and I finally found one that I loved. 

I teemed it with my new Topshop cropped white t-shirt so that the brown belt the skirt came with could be seen. I love the swishy feel of the skirt, I feel very girly when I wear it :) Now the rain just needs to permanently stop so I can get out all the summer clothes I'm dying to wear!

Yummy yummy (even if I do say so myself)...

For my sister's birthday today, I made her a cake whilst she was at school. I used an all-in-one recipe as I didn't have much time. I've used good old Delia's recipe before but this time it didn't rise as well as I wanted it to but oh well! It still tasted good :) Again, my camera skills aren't very good. I'm a bit of a camera novice really!

It's all gone a bit aztec...

If you saw my post on my Barry M collection, you'll probably have guessed I love nail varnish and having my nails painted a variety of colours. Yesterday I was a bit bored so decided to look on Youtube to find some simple nail art tutorials. There were loads of cute designs but I don't have a dotting tool so thought it would be hard to achieve most of the ones that I looked at. I also came across some aztec designs that looked incredible and couldn't believe how simple they were to do on yourself! For the design I did on myself I took inspiration from a few different videos. Sorry for the dodgy photos, the lighting in my room was awful and I didn't have much time to take the pictures.

The process was really simple, I painted my nails with the light blue then painted different angled lines with the dark blue and coral. Once they were dry, I outlined the shapes I'd made with the bright colours with my black Model's Own nail art pen. I filled the gaps that were left with dots and a variety of lines to make the aztec look complete!


Are there any designs you've tried out recently that were surprisingly easy but looked great?
