August Favourites ❤

Well, I think it's about time I did another favourites post! These are some things I've had my eye on the last month and are definitely going on my wishlist. It's a more autumn look because I think the days of sunbathing and bikinis are over for this year, sadly.. 

First off, I have been wanting a Wildfox jumper for SO long now. This pink one just looks adorable and would be so comfortable. Wildfox in general is pretty expensive but I wouldn't mind spending the money on a jumper, just as a one off treat! I think the jumpers are usually around €100, which is a lot, but they do some similar style jumpers on asos.com for less than half of the price.
Another thing is striped monochrome jeans; I've been seeing these a lot this month and I think they look really nice on and make legs look skinny - which can only be a bonus! I like the fact that they can be worn in summer or winter with boots or flats. These are from Mango and are $40 on the website, so they would probably be around €30 if the price is converted properly, put that rarely happens!
The boots are just amazing! I saw them in a video on Youtube recently and fell in love with them instantly! They're from the Rihanna collection in River Island and are around €100.
The black bag is €56 from handpicked.net and I found it on Polyvore. I like how it's quilted and I think black goes with any outfit.
I've always liked the indie nerd glasses and think they look really cute on anyone.These ones are €7.50 from shopzerouv.com, which I think is a pretty decent price.
The two makeup items here are a nail polish from Topshop in the shade 'Pink Powder' and Mac Pro Longwear Foundation.
Last but not least is a polaroid camera, this one is an Instax mini 8 from Fujifilm and is around €80. I've seen these cameras in places like Urban Outfitters for ages and I think it would be so cute to have one!

Hope you guys enjoyed

Have an amazing day

Hair Chalks: Are They Worth the Hype? ❤

I've been a big fan of colouring my hair crazy colours since I had pink ombré last year. I thought about doing it again this summer but then found hair chalks in Penneys. These ones were €5 and come in a pack with pink and purple. Looking at the brightness of the chalks I did expect them to be pretty vibrant, but they come out a lot more pastel, which isn't necessarily a bad thing either. I like the way the chalks fit into what looks like a mini GHD and you can easily pull it through your hair without getting chalk dust all over your hands! All in all, I do like these little chalks but if I was to take the plunge for pink ombré every day I'd definitely go with a hair dye.


Hope you enjoyed

Review: Lee Stafford My Big Fat Texturised Spray ❤

Today is going to be a review of Lee Stafford's 'My Big Fat Texturised Hair Super Spray' Matte Style. I think this is a really handy little product as it gives hair a really nice beachy texture, but without the salty smell. It also holds better than a lot of sea salt sprays I have tried in the past and I just love the fact that it's all pink!
I think the best way to use this product is firstly, not to use any heat on your hair. If possible, let your hair dry naturally. Then, when your hair is dry, spray the product directly onto your hair and use your hands to style it as you like. If you want to find out more about the product click here to go to the Boots website.
For the price (around €10) this product has lasted me quite a long time, and still has plenty left. I really like it for the summer months but I would also definitely use it in the winter as well because it doesn't have a beachy smell; it smells sweet and slightly perfumed which I like for my hair.
Hope you guys enjoyed!

Have an amazing day
