OOTD#7

Haven't done one of these in a while....

....so thought it was about time!

Summer is coming....or at least that is what the bank holiday weekend led me to believe, and now I am sitting listening to the wind outside the window....hmmm, wishful thinking?

I love a bit of colour and often like to inject my outfit with a 'pop' whether that be via clothing or makeup (normally a bright lippy).

I wasn't sure about this jacket at first, mainly due to thinking the because of my broad shoulders it looks like I have brought a size too small, but I may give it another chance just to see (I did feature this in OOTD#4)

What do you reckon??

Blazer-river island
Shirt-zara
Leggings-topshop
Trainers-converse
Rings-h&m and river island

Sally Hansen moisturising polish remover/cotton wool double faced pads
In light of my obsession with painting my nails comes a large need of nail polish removal. I won't for the dry, brittle nails one with vitamin E and aloe Vera but I'm not entirely sure the difference between them. Of course I also needed cotton wools pads to aid the removal process but these are just a vital purchase for everyday anyways

Real Techniques Stippling brush
I have recently brought a few cream blushes and through all the lovely blogs I follow I hear that this is the best to apply it with......so I had to check it out.

Revlon Photoready cream blush in Coral Reef
Loving cream blushes at the mo but I was yet to get a more coral colour for my collection, so here it is! Looking forward to wearing this when the sun in shining

Origins Clear Improvements mask and VitaZing
With summer coming I prefer to be a lot more natural faced and let the (fingers crossed I get one) tan shine through. I went for the VutaZing as this is lovely and sheer and to prepare my skin to make it look its best I am hoping this mask does the trick......I've heard good things.

Garnier Perfect Blur
Again for the natural look, as I won't be wearing such a heavy base I felt my skin needed evening out just a little more than normal.....and this will do just the trick

Spring....

I am having a massive clear out of clothes that basically I just can not fit in my wardrobe anymore (this just means that I am making room to buy new clothes-I'm not kidding anyone here.....who wants to be minimalist)

Go and check it out, Topshop, River Island, Zara, Primark.......! Grab yourselves a bargain.

Your using what....??

....to do what??

Thinking outside the box is not something that I can say I am proficient in, but i think that I am getting better....but luckily other people are and Pinterest is perfect to find where these clever clever people have displayed their fabulous ideas!!

I love wallpaper, however I do think the standard 'feature walls' are starting to become a little dated and they are needing a little re-vamp. Out with the block colour and floral walls and in with something different

As you have prob seen before I love the idea of using things that aren't expected and these pics show just that!

Not only using something a little different but also stuff the feature wall....it's all about the feature ceiling!!

Interior Inspiration | Pallets

Things are not always....

....as they seem

I love it when you use an item for something that it wasn't originally designed for. Pallets are the perfect example of this and have been all over the place recently....well on Pinterest....being used for so many different thing....some of which I have shown here. People are so clever and I am so great full for their cleverness so that I can coo and dream over their ideas.

Picking up some of these isn't that easy' I have a friend who works in the building trade who is able to get me some....which also means what ever you are creating is not only rustic and homemade but cheap cheap cheap.....always a winner. The only thing you will need is patients and maybe a little help

I LOVE the idea and have always wanted to make my own garden furniture out of pallets....just need to get a garden first!!
