Stella By Stella McCartney
Size:100ml EDP

Once again I have brought a new perfume and you get what I mean with the title now don't you!

I have been keeping my eyes on Stella for months! It was just the price which made me think "Hmmm Akey do you really need anymore perfumes?" not only that but I have a new rule, which is that I can't buy no more perfumes until I use up 2 other fragrances (Its reasonable, I think? But I didn't finish 2... Shhhh)

It's a beautiful fragrance and the top notes are rose, peony and mandarin; middle notes of rose absolute and the base note of amber. Although Stella is more of a floral fragrance, it still does have the oriental notes but I wouldn't classify it as an oriental floral fragrance.

It was the price which pulled me towards it! The 30ml is originally £39.50 but I got the 100ml for £39.99 at the Fragrance shop which I think is amazing for a 100ml.

So if you are out in town or shopping, do go and try it! If you do let me know what you think of it! Sundays blog post will be different as I decided to do something new so I hope you are excited!

Lots of love

So today's blog is about daily essentials on makeup!


So here are my essentials:
Jack wills eyeliner
Nars Blush: Amour
Body shop flawless skin protecting foundation SPF 25 (06)
Nude coloured lipstick (depends as I have several!)

As you can see I don't wear much make up and I go for the natural look because I believe simplicity is more. When I put makeup on, my face has to be clean. I have to have clean skin before I put anything on regardless of what it is! Plus no makeup from the day before! (I admit I am one of those types that falls asleep while wearing makeup! But not always.....Oops)
Although I have foundation, I don't put it all over my face. I just put it under my eyes when I don't get enough sleep! I wear it occasionally but even though I don't wear it everyday, my hands do reach for it when I wear makeup. Body shop foundations are amazing as they look really natural and it's not obvious that you are wearing it. Give it a try if you want to go for a natural look.

Body Shop flawless skin protecting foundation SPF 25 (06)
Nars Blush: Amour 

Then I apply my eyeliner which takes me like 2 minutes. At the moment I am using a pencil eyeliner but I normally wear liquid eyeliner, so I am currently experimenting on different ones! After that I will put my blusher on which is the Nars blusher which I love! 

Finally I will put on a lipstick (depends what mood I am in!) At the moment I am loving my Body Shop lipstick, over the last year I have gone through 2 of these and it's the perfect nude shade for me. The Mac lipstick is a bit darker but it also suits my skin perfectly but I haven't used it recently so I will start using now! The YSL lipstick is my recent lipstick purchase and its pretty much like the Body Shop lipstick but a bit lighter. 

MAC: Crème in your coffee
YSL: Etrusque 5
Body Shop: Dusk Pink 42 

So that's my daily essentials on make up guys! I know it's not much but seriously I feel comfortable in my own skin, yes I have spots, blemishes etc etc but to be honest it doesn't bother me at all!

Everyone has their own regime, I would love to know what you wear and what you do! Also do you know what eyeliners are good and what would you recommend? Let me know! I hope you enjoyed this blog post and got to see a different insight on different products!

Lots of love

Can you believe it's May already!? It feels like it was New Year's Eve just the other day! So this month I have gathered my favourite things that I love and will share them with you!

For me perfume is an essential thing that I have to wear before I leave the house! At the moment I am in love with YSL (Yves Saint Laurent but now known as Saint Laurent) Cinema, it smells beautiful. If you saw my first post you will know I am an oriental floral person so it has floral oriental notes. It's not overpowering so you can wear it everyday or for a night out. If you like floral fragrances then do give this a try!

Size: 35ml
Price:£24.99 (Cheapest I found so far)

My Fashionology ring is my new best friend! I am literally in love my above the Knuckle ring, I wear it literally everyday and never take it off because I love it that much! It's so simple and chic so if you are fan of rings then I am sure you will love it too.

Size: Small
Price: £16.10

So I have been trying to find the perfect red lipstick and I couldn't find the right one until I saw the Kate Moss Rimmel lipsticks. The formula of the lipsticks are so good, they don't dry your lips and they are very pigmented which is even better! The colour is like a vampirey red colour, I personally like matte lipsticks as I don't like shimmery lipsticks. I will purchase this again as this is the only red lipstick I have found which suits my skin tone!

Colour: 107
Price: £5.49

I literally love eyeliners, I have to wear eyeliner everyday but recently my Chanel eyeliner ran out (Sad face) so I didn't have one until I found my Jack Wills Eyeliner (Brought it a while ago but I knew it would come handy at one point!). I don't tend to wear pencil eyeliners but this eyeliner is so pigmented and it lasts all day. It does the same job but its just not a liquid eyeliner, another plus point is that you can use it when you are doing smoky eyes as it gives a proper carbon look.

Colour: Black
Price :£8

As you know (well that's if you live in the UK) the weather has been crazy, one minute its cold and the next its hot! This has seriously made my hand really dry and I can tell that it's not in good condition, so I had to invest in a hand cream which was going to repair my skin back to normal. I have heard from several people that the Elemis hand cream is amazing and that I should give it try, so I did! This creams does wonders! It's amazing, after a week I could see that my hands were going back to being soft! I would recommend this if you have dry hands as it will help. (Hopefully)

Size:100ml

My hair is my pride and joy (That's not a lie!!) I try to look after my hair as much as I can. As I curl my hair a lot , I need something that will not damage my hair and that will keep it in a good condition. I have been using Aussie "Take the heat" since last year September (Yes its lasted me this long!) You only need a pump worth of serum which goes a long way! I have seen the changes as my hair is still in good condition and I am getting less split ends. I would recommend this as it's amazing and I would definitely purchase this product again.

Price: £4.69

On to my last favourite of the month which is the Collection Cream Puff! I am sure some of you ladies must have heard about the cream puff! Although it's a lip gloss, its more like a lipstick and lip gloss combined together. I am not a big lip gloss fan but I have to say the cream puff is really good and you can wear it for an everyday use. I went for a pinky shade but they have other colours which are beautiful. Give them a whirl and see what colour suits you!

Colour: Cotton Candy

Well, that's my "April Favourites" done! I hope you guys enjoyed this post and let me know if you have tried any of my favourites! I will be back on track with posting every Sunday and I hope you are excited for Sundays post!

So it's 2013 and one fashion piece which is making its mark with some serious staying power is.... Statement necklaces!!

Oh my god, I can't tell you how much I am in love with necklaces! My collection is not getting any smaller but larger and increasing by the week! It's my creative way to beautify a simple outfit with a bit of glam.

When you wear a bold statement necklace, its important that your outfit is simple and casual. The last thing you want to do is wear a bright floral top with a bold necklace.... Don't do it! I will just go through some ideas I have put together, you might even have these clothing pieces in your wardrobe so now is the time to give them justice with some glam! 

Denim Shirt with a Neon Necklace
Necklace: Miss Selfridge
Shirt: Republic

Girly dress with an Elegant Statement Necklace
Necklace: Accessorize
Dress: Next

Going Clockwise
Gold Chain Necklace: H&M/£9.99
Chain Necklace: Topshop/£6
Neon Necklace: Miss Selfridge/£3
Bubble Necklace: Primark/£4
Jewelled Necklace:Accessorize/£8

Also try solid coloured tops or dresses with multicoloured necklaces as they give it a whole new look with different colours. Black tops or dresses will look nice with any type of necklaces, personally I think bright coloured necklaces look nice on black as it shows a bit of colour. Even the art deco type of necklaces will look amazing with dresses!

With my outfits, I tend to mix and match so all the necklaces I have go with something. It's totally up to you whether you want to go all bright or elegant!

I hope you guys got some ideas! Don't be afraid to experiment and see how it goes! Never know what might look good!

Lots of love xx

Hey guys,

Today's post isn't going to be on fashion or makeup, it's actually about whether you are your own worst critic.

Everybody has something that they don't like about themselves. Whether it's their size, looks or anything else... We judge ourselves so badly that we think we are the most unattractive person but are we really that bad the way we make ourselves seem? Do you know that women are their own worst critic? Have you ever thought when someone else sees you, they might think you are beautiful?

Everyone is insecure about something and it's not bad! Nobody is perfect, everybody has flaws and you should learn to love yourself for who you are! Trust me, I am one of those types who just moan about how I think I look dreadful! But then I realised that if I keep doing this, then I will only make myself seem much worse than what I am.

I would love you guys to watch this link because I really do think it's amazing!

How do you feel after watching that? Do you think you are your own worst critic?

So be happy, feel proud of who you are and learn to love yourself because you are beautiful! Shrug off all the negativity and look forward! If there is something you want to change then you can, you just need to build up that confidence and be strong.

I hope your all okay and looking forward to the weekend! Don't forget about Sunday's post!

Hi guys, hope your all good and enjoying your day :)

So today I decided to do a shopping haul! (I mean come on it's me! What did you expect?) I will go through everything that I have brought recently as I needed new things.........My excuse to shop but don't worry it's acceptable (in my eyes) ha ha!! So let's get started!

So my first purchases was from Topshop and I had to get my hands on the "Joni" jeans as I have been hearing that they are amazing and blah blah blah....... So I decided to get them and see what's different about them than other jeans. With jeans I am a very fussy person because I hate the bottom of my skinny's to look baggy (please tell me you know what mean like by the bottom part?) I like mine to look like fitted and not loose around the ankle.

They are high waisted jeans which I have never tried before so I decided to give it a whirl and I really do like them, they are so comfortable to wear! The material of the jeans are stretchable so you will fit in to your original size, with me I went down a size so instead of purchasing a size 12 I brought a 10 because it was perfectly fine and still roomy so I was able to move around in them. I brought a black and a dark navy one because personally I think dark coloured jeans go with everything and anything! So they are worth the price!

Price: £36 each
Size:10

While I was shopping my eye caught on a top, its like an American football T-shirt which is over sized and looks so cool. Also it's comfy so you will be able to wear it when you go out or 6th form etc etc! The front of the top has like a leather matte font so that gives it an edgy touch! I would pair this with jeans and maybe a leather jacket? I will try to do some outfits and post them on Instagram!

Price:£20
Size: S/M

                                                                                 

On to the next purchases! My next stop was at urban outfitters and I brought 2 jumpers. I know I bet you're thinking "Akey its spring and you're buying jumpers? Are you mad?" But trust me guys the weather in London is so unpredictable and knowing our weather anything can happen. It's still snowing in April.....So you get the gist right?

The first jumper I purchased is stylish and edgy! It's a dark greyish jumper with slits on the shoulder so you can see your arms. I fell in love with it when I saw it because it was different and you can dress it up too. I would pair it with a statement necklace and probably skinny jeans to make it look like a day time outfit....The less hassle the better right?

Price:£16 originally £35
Size: Small
Brand:Sparkle & Fade

The second jumper I brought was a "RUN DMC" jumper which is the genuine one and its retro so you will be able to wear this casually or even on a night out. I've always wanted one but never found one so I decided to get it! The material of the jumper is a really good quality and the price of it was so worth it as they cost a lot more on the website. With the sizing on this jumper I was after the baggy look and not fitted so I did get a bigger size, but its all based on personal preferences!

Price:£25 originally £45
Size:L

Also just to let you guys know I did use my student discount (10% off) because both shops accept them and also urban outfitters accept it on sale items too!

I also brought a ring online which hasn't arrived yet! But it is a sterling silver above the knuckle ring from Fashionology. It's such an investment piece and if you are a ring fanatic like me then you will love it (hopefully) I will post the website link down below. As it is sterling silver it is a bit pricy but I know I will wear it a lot as I do love my rings! I will post a picture up on Instagram once it comes!

Price:£16.05
http://www.fashionology.nl

My next purchase was from H&M and it was double gold/brass chain which looks stunning! I am really picky when it comes to gold coloured jewellery as some of them look tacky and not just right. But with this chain it has a really nice antique gold/brass finish so I decided to get it as it will look really nice with jumpers and plain top outfits... (Could wear it with the jumper's and the T-shirt?)

Price:£9.99

Finally on to my fave and last item! I brought was an YSL lipstick. It's a beautiful nude colour which looks natural when you apply it but it is also visible that you are wearing it which is great! It also doesn't dry your lips out like other lipsticks which I have tried. I know that it's a bit over priced but trust me it is long lasting and it's okay to treat yourself once in a while......( I'm not responsible for anyones overdraft if you decided to break the bank!!!!)

Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick in number 5 (Etrusque)

Price:£25.00

I know I could go on and on forever but I wanted to keep the haul short instead of making it uber long! So I am sorry for the long winded description but its better to know and see for yourself before you go crazy like me buying the whole world!

I hope you guys enjoyed my recent crazy shopping spree and I will also try and post a blog every Sunday or Monday so keep your eyes peeled! Also I will try and post outfits and things on my Instagram so do have a look!


Lots of love xx
