Outfits of the week

Goood morning! It's Friday woohoooo!

That means it's time for my outfits of the week, only got 4 to post today as one photo has gone missing.. 

Top is from Monsoon years ago, it is a coral ombre tank top. I wore this with my M&S black jeans and nude ballet pumps. 

This top is from Dorothy Perkins, it is a Mint Pussybow blouse. Super light weight but you do have to wear a cami underneath due to it being so thin. My trousers are Monsoon and my flipflops are Accessorize. 

Thursday was hot stuff so I opted for this plain black v-neck top from M&S with a ditsy print skirt from H&M. Flip flops are Accessorize. 

Finally onto Friday. The weather has changed and it feels like Autumn today, I have opted for my new top from American Eagle, with my Topshop Jamie jeans. My shoes are the healed sparkly sneakers from Office. 

I also added my superdry green hoodie as I walked out the door as it was peeing with rain. 

American Eagle Shop

Good afternoon!

Sorry for the lack of blog posts yesterday, I don't have an excuse I was just too lazy to put my fingers on the keys. Anyway today is another day and I am back with some snaps of the items I ordered from American Eagle. It might not look like much because I didn't think you would be interested in the socks I ordered but anyways here we go. 

First up is something I have actually sent back, this is a shift dress which looked freaking amazing on the model but awful on me. I ordered a size larger to be on the safe side as America doesn't really tailor for boobs but it was just plain nasty. 

It didn't come with the belt, that was just me trying to make it better. Anyways this has gone back to America, hopefully will be there soon so I can gets my cash back!

Next up is this hoodie, I am obsessed with comfy cosy snuggly clothes and even though this isn't a thick hoodie I will probably live in it. Perfect for throwing on under a leather jacket for a bit of extra warmth. 

Again I was an idiot an ordered a medium instead of a small so it is a bit baggy but its fine for me. 

Finally is this top which is my favourite item by far. 

Excuse the all grey look I was still wearing my work jeans but yes I love tops like this. Even more so because it has NYC on it. 

On top of these items I ordered 2 pairs of boot socks like this. 

I also got a brown leather belt which I now can't find on the website. If you fancy shopping from American Eagle they do ship internationally and it works out quite cheap if you are in the UK. They also have a sale on at the moment yay!

Best snack ever

For those of you who might not know I am a keen baker, I have been baking for many years and I would say at the moment it is my main hobby. 

Now over the weekend I had some overly ripe bananas hanging around and decided to make some yummy banana bread from the Hummingbird bakery recipe book. It is super tasty let me tell you that, I did however forget to take a photo of them just out the oven and 1 loaf was very swiftly eaten and now there is half a loaf hanging around... perfect for late night snacking. 

I am one of those people who is almost always hungry but during my actual meals I don't eat much, so basically I am a cow and I need to just graze all day. At 9:30 last night the hunger grew too much and I caved in to a slice of my banana bread.. but not on its own oh no. Banana bread with nutella and a big ol' glass of milk is my idea of yum. 

It's so yum I couldn't even wait to take a bite.

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes - Review

First up I am a sucker for rubber wand mascaras, I find them the best so if you don't get along with rubber wands you won't like this. 

If you do get on with rubber wands go and buy this now! It is awesome, super easy to apply, glides on and allows you to build it up. 

I didn't curl my lashes before applying so I can only imagine how amazing it would be with the lashes curled. I don't like my bottom lashes to be super chunky and this mascara allows me to keep them elongated without looking like spider legs. 

Final say - Love it! Really good mascara that seems to stay where you leave it. 

I will update if my opinions change. 

L'Oreal Superliner Blackbuster - Review

I am a total eyeliner junkie, I have more than I could ever possibly use but it doesn't stop me buying more. Last week I ordered a few things from Feelunique.com and the L'Oreal blackbuster eyeliner was one of them. 

Sadly this product has been a big disappointment, considering it's name is blackbuster I was expecting it to be as black as can be .. it's not. It took 3 applications to get it to the real black we all know and love. 

(I will take a better photo tomorrow I promise, this one is terrible quality.)

After getting it to the desired black it is okay, doesn't have a huge amount of staying power but it hangs around for a bit. 

Final Say - Let down, won't be re-purchasing. 

If my opinions change I will of course update this post. 

What happens when all the delivery people arrive at once?

My work area gets filled with stuff, that's what!

I am stating now that not all of this is mine in fact at least half is the boyfriends new wardrobe from American Eagle and some swimming shorts from ASOS (because I insisted he can't wear one pair for 2 weeks). 

But lets start with the obvious, you can see a Vivitar camera which I have purchased for holiday, it is waterproof so I am hoping to get some cracking photos of us in the sea. 

Underneath the camera is my order from feel unique, really excited about all of that, already been smelling the conditioners and swatching the makeup. 

On top of the ASOS package is a beach ball again for holiday. 

The ASOS package is 2 pairs of swimming trunks for the mister. 

... the large box is from American Eagle, I would love to blame the boyfriend for this but unfortunately it was me who went on the website on bank holiday Monday and snagged a few bargains. 

They have had 40% off for the last week so stuff becomes such good value especially if it is already on sale, it makes it worth the £32 shipping especially if you can find someone to order with so it's only £15.

I will of course show you the awesome stuff inside once I get home and see it all myself!

Monthly favourites from August

So it is September and that is scaring me, but it's time for monthly favourites, Yay!

First up has got to be my snazzy trainers, these came from Office and they are awesome. Dressy enough that I can get away with wearing them out but so comfy! I can tell I will probably be in them most of the winter.

Second is banana chips, only just got back into these after many years away but I forgot how good they are. Seriously moreish and they stop you reaching for the chocolate and crisps. Win win if you ask me. 

Third is The OC, I've been a fan since I was 13 but every few months I go back to my dvds and re-watch it. I am currently getting to the end of season 1 and remembering just how damn good it is. 

Fourth is Tripp Luggage, now this one seems a little weird but as you all know I am off on my holidays soon and I purchased a snazzy new suitcase from Tripp back in the Debenhams sale. When I bought it I wasn't sure about the size because it looks quite small but it's perfect, I started trial packing just to see how the size would shape up and already I can tell it will be just right for all my future trips. 

I have no doubt I will be adding to this list over the next week so keep checking back.
