NOTD

Should probably be more appropriately titled; Nails of the week as who changes their nail varnish daily? Still...

(Apologies - I'm not the best at painting nails)

I'm loving the current trend of painting your ring finger a different/ contrasting colour. It's simple, but eye-catching :) x

Happy Wednesday :)

Hello my lovelies! Hope you’re all well and enjoying your week, I woke up this morning and decided it was time for a mid week ramble!

So I’m lucky enough to have every Wednesday off as I don’t have any lessons and only work nights, and while you would expect I’d use this time productively (to do 6^th form work etc.) I do not. I am excellent at procrastinating and usually spend my time sleeping, drinking coffee, watching daytime telly or YouTube videos, playing sims (yes, sims!) and generally lounging around the house. This is then usually topped off with my yoga class and on returning home more of the same. Lazy? I know, but I quite enjoy my mid-week dossing days.

Gah I know I’m such a nerd for saying this but I’m soooo looking forward to the final Harry Potter movie! I believe it’s out July 15^th and I cannot wait (I do also use HP as a form of procrastination) I also have a real urge to watch Twilight. Now before you all roll your eyes and exit my blog I just want to point out that I am not your usual Twilight groupie. I’m not team Edward, or team Jacob, I’ve only really seen it once or twice but I really feel like watching it. Perhaps I will hop over to Amazon and see how much it’s going for.

I had sweet chilli Ryvita mini’s for lunch.. This is in no way interesting or important but they were seriously tasty and you should all try them :) xx

How much is your face worth?

I was given an unexpected afternoon off today and on arriving home was at a loss of what to do with myself. I’ve seen this tag sort of thing on quite a few blogs so I thought I’d give it a go :) My apologies for some of it looking a little worse for wear, it gets quite a bit of hammer in my make up bag!

I feel rather sick at the thought of all this going on my face! Thankfully during the week I don’t tend to wear much more than moisturiser and concealer :)

Hope you all have a lovely evening and if you decide to have a go at this yourself, comment and let me know – I love reading these! xx

Spring Haul

A few things I've picked up over the past month, as you'll be able to tell - I'm a sucker for a bargin ;)

Dorothy Perkins £29.50

I don't usually spend much over £20 for a top but I tried this on and fell in love with it, plus it's suuuper comfortable :)

Vintage Levi's £8

I picked these up in a local vintage shop - complete bargin, yes? & now for the sale items!

New Look £8 (Was £14.99)

This is actually from the teen section but I just couldn't walk past it!

Peacocks £9 (Was £16)

How gorgeous is the lace back on this top? I spotted it online and it was selling out fast so I bought it regardless of the shipping.

Matalan £8 (Were £18)

Peacocks £10 (Were £20)

There's was a massive sale on accessories at my local dotty p's and after perusing I decided not to go over board and just picked up these two necklaces - a complete bargin at just £3 each!

Asos £6

I've been having a mild obsession with the colour turquoise recently and I'm pretty sure it will continue for the foreseeable so couldn't resist this! Stay tuned for a drugstore haul x

A ma-hoosive apology!

Oh my goodness, where has the time gone? It’s been an unforgiveable 51 days!! (Not a very good start, is it?) I want to start by saying a massive thank you to you lovelies who have clicked that little ‘follow’ button – it really means a lot to me and yet it seems I’ve let you down already, and for that, I apologise profusely.

Revision/ exams/ coursework + extra shifts and family commitments = a very exhausted Lily!

So, quick update; I have now finished ALL exams, handed in ALL coursework and turned 17! And while I haven’t been blogging, I’ve still been picking up odd items :)

... I say ‘odd items’ but while the time has accumulated so has the amount of clothes, shoes, skincare, makeup etc. And now exams are over I have plenty of spare time on my hands so expect a beast of haul this coming Friday!

Huge apologies once again and expect to hear from me very soon! x
