wednesday wishlist #24

one | two | three | four | five

I saw the lace dress in Topshop but in pink a few months ago & fell in love with it but I've just seen the mint version & love it even more! I've got to find a dress to wear to Dom's Nans 80th Birthday so I'm gonna have to go try this on & see how it looks. 

The Zoeva Rose Gold Makeup Brushes are probably the prettiest makeup tools I've ever laid my eyes on. I haven't really experimented with any other brush brands apart from Real Techniques & MAC so it would be good to give this a go!

As much as I love my Micheal Kors watch I'd really like to have something less bulky to wear each day. Kate Spade watches are so dainty & simple but still look so beautiful with the mother of pearl, gold plated hardware & leather strap.

I'm a huge fan of Marc Jacobs Fragrances & have two in my perfume collection already (Daisy & Honey), they're always so fresh & girly but never too overpowering. Daisy Dream has got to the prettiest packaged perfume I've ever seen. I managed to smell it in Boots the other day & it's safe to say I've made a mental note to get this as my next scent!

Hannah Maggs has become one of my favourite YouTubers, her baby boy Grayson is adorable & I really enjoy seeing what her little family get up to on a weekly basis. Hannah has just launched her very own line of liberty print makeup bags which are all absolutely lovely. I'm gutted I wasn't quick enough to get my hands on 'The Grayson' design! It's also so sweet how each makeup bag has been given a name that represents something about Hannah's life & the descriptions about them are so beautifully worded. 'The Little Moments' design is all devoted to the little things in life which often pass us by without a thought, which also made me think about a related post I published last week!

Whats on your wishlist atm?

makeup revolution

The newest beauty brand on the block Makeup Revolution have already created a huge stir within the beauty blogosphere, in just a few short months since their launch & it's not surprising why. With over 250 affordable products to choose from there is definitely something for everyone! I'm most excited about the Sugar & Spice Blush & Contour palette*, look at how dreamy each shade is *heart eyed emoji x10*, I'm already obsessed with it after only getting my hands on it a couple of days ago!  To tell the truth though, I'd be lying if I didn't say I got ridiculously excited when they tweeted me saying they have an office dog... which just so happens to be a PUGGLE named Blondie! Of course that is where my crazy dog lady status kicks in but back to the makeup talk!

Makeup revolution are providing us all with the chance to be able to experiment with makeup, thanks to the super cheap prices & vast product range. I'm not one to usually try out many daring makeup looks & never really tend to steer away from my winged liner & dewy makeup base. I like to stick to my comfort zone but I'm tempted to pick up the Hot Smoked Palette & have a play around with the blue & green shades. My makeup might end up looking like something a 5 year old would apply but at least I'll have tried something a bit different & won't have spent more than I would do if I was going to buy a single MAC eyeshadow! 

 I can see myself heading over to the Makeup Revolution site to have quite a splurge but considering prices start at only £1 it shouldn't do too much damage... 

Have you tried any products from Makeup Revolution? What's your favourite product?

a white obsession

I bought this white skater dress from Miss Selfridge, it was in the sale for only £9 & when I tried it on it fit perfectly so I couldn't leave it behind. I'm yet to wear it out yet because I'm scared I'll ruin it!
White nails have been the new blogger thing to do recently & it's a trend I've been loving. I've been using Model Own's Snow White, it's £5 a bottle but I picked it up in their 50% off sale back in January. I only ever need to apply two coats & it's completely opaque, I thought it was going to be difficult to get a polish that would achieve a solid block of white as it can be such a transparent shade.
p.s please ignore my messy paint job, it was a few days old & looking a bit worse for wear when I took these photos!
I was sent this blazer from Quiz & I'm so glad I chose this! I ummed & ahhed over it for ages thinking I'd never wear it & that it wouldn't suit me but I have been pairing it with summery dresses or jeans with a colourful top. I don't think the photo does it any justice so I'll try get some photos of it in an outfit post soon! Quiz also do this waterfall blazer in loads of other colours if white isn't your thing! (:

I never thought I'd be a fan of white clothing & white nails used to creep me out (I am weird!) but there's something about the colour white which has got me hooked at the moment! 

Have you got any white items in your wardrobe?

my week in photos #21




Ooops, a bit of a food heavy post this week! I've mostly spent my time at work but my day off on Friday consisted a trip to the Seaside with Dom's parents & Tilly pug followed by a yummy pub lunch. Moving back up North to be closer to our family has definitely been the best decision ever, it's so lovely being able to go out for the day & spend time with the people who mean the most. Don't get me wrong, I loved living down South & having our independence but it did get lonely sometimes & we often missed out on family events or friends birthday celebrations because of the distance between us all! 

One downside to this week was poor little Tilly pug had to be treated for an eye ulcer on Tuesday. Anyone that knows the Pug breed will know that eye ulcers are a huge worry & their eye sight can quickly deteriorate if they're left untreated. Luckily I got her to the Vets straight away & it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. On Friday we took her back to be reassessed to be told the ulcer had gone which was a massive relief for me. Tilly pug is always super spoilt & acts like a huge diva all the time but this week she was even more spoilt with lots of treats & plenty of snuggles. She's back to her usual hyper self though now, which I'm so pleased about, it broke my heart seeing her in pain, she's actually like our baby!!

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend!
