Nail Of The Day | Aqua Sparkles!

Hi guys! 

Thought I'd take advantage of the lovely weather England has been graced with over the last few days and take my pictures outside!

On my nails I have Barry M in the shade 'Mint Green' and the sparkly one is W7 cosmetics in the colour 'Cosmic Blue.' My acrylics are still going strong after almost a whole month! Don't think I'll get much longer out of them though!

Hope you enjoyed!

Prom!

Hi guys! 

This post is going to be about my prom night!

You get to see my dress and accessories, don't worry I'll be doing a separate post on my makeup so I can go into more detail! You may notice not all of my friends from other pictures were here, unfortunately not everyone could make it but we still really enjoyed it and everyone in my year looked great!

So first off here is my dress!

It was a really light nudey-pink colour, with beaded detail up at the top, one shouldered with a big flower on one side! It was from a little bridal shop near where I live and they have a whole prom/bridesmaid section, it is by the designer Amanda Wyatt and was £210.00

*****

I got my shoes from Dorothy Perkins for £65.00 and they've just reduced them to £25.00 which is really really annoying! They were pretty high but I managed to keep them on all night because I'm usually quite good with wearing heels.
They were a light pinky colour but in the pictures they look more tan. they have a silver heel and a silver platform on the front. 

*****

For my jewelry I wore my Tiffany bracelet which was my sisters and my mum gave it to me for my 16th birthday along with my Tiffany double heart necklace which I also got for my birthday. I also wore my sisters engagement ring. I always like to wear something of my sisters on special occasions weather its some of her jewelry or just a squirt of her perfume because I miss her and it makes me feel like she's still around me:)

*****

Lastly the bag I used was one from outfit, some of you may know outfit is a shop that is made up of quite a few shops for example miss selfridge, Topshop, Oasis and Dorothy Perkins just to name a few, I would really recommend checking out one of their stores because I always come out with loads of stuff! Anyway, my bag was from the oasis section and was £25.00 but came up as £15.00 at the till! Love it when that happens! The bag is kind of a pinkey/rose gold colour with a snake skin pattern on the top.

Now here are a few more pictures of the evening, mostly of me with other people so you get to see their beautiful dresses!

Nail of the day | prom nails!

So I want to start doing 'nail of the day' posts. Just short posts with a picture and a description, I can just do them off my phone while I'm on the go and share my current nail colour and design with you!

So I had my nails done for prom, they are acrylics, the usual French white tips but the pink part has special glittery acrylic! I love the rounded shape too!
Let me know what you think of my nail of the day (NOTD) idea!

Haul: Fashion Union, Newlook, H&M and more!

Hi guys!
I went shopping again so I have another haul for you!
I'm going to get straight into it!

*****

So I finally caved and bought a pair of Toms! But I'm so glad I did, they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! Seriously it feels like you're walking on a cloud! I got the navy blue ones because I love navy and it goes with almost anything! I got them from office and they cost £34.99 The amazing thing about Toms is they give 1 pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair they sell!

 *****

Now, these are the most amazing things in the world! They are my bright barbie pink, glittery Hunter wellies! I LOVE them!
I got the kids ones because they are only £35 and the adults ones are around £60! You may be thinking 'Why has she bought wellies in July? Is she crazy?' Well yes, yes I am crazy! However I do have a valid excuse! In 4 days I'm off to Wakestock which is 4 day music festival! Yay! If you're in England at the moment you will know the weather isn't the best, infact its rather awfull so as you can imagine: rain + big field + lots of people =mudbath.

Can you see the glitter! How amazing is that!?

*****

Now, I have wanted these for so long! I feel like every youtuber and blogger in England has them! I promise, I wasn't just being a sheep (Baa) I have been  trying to get my mitts on these for months and months but every time I went in topshop they were gone! and they never had them in stock online. Then the unforeseeable happened... They went off the topshop website! I knew I couldn't not have them, so I turned to ebay where I got them for £8.00! Yes! That's £20 less than I would have had to pay! So I'm a happy blogger and can't wait to wear my knew shoes out!

*****
I got these lovely shorts from H&M for £10.00 They were down from £19.99 so thats half price! I really needed more shorts for this summer because all my ones from last year are too big for me because I lost weight! They're really loose and soft and I love them! The belt they come with is studded all the way around but I'll probably take it off and swap it with another one.

*****

Now this picture does this dress no justice atall! It was from AX Paris and was £15 down from £30! This dress was supposed to be my after prom dress for the after prom party one of my friends was having, but unfortunately the party was cancelled so I didn't get to wear it! When I do get to wear it I'll put pictures up so you can see how pretty it really is!

*****
I got these baby's from New Look for £10.00! They were down from £14.99 so I just had to have them!  I love the colour and I think they are so summery!
Like I said I needed shorts anyway because I hardly have any that fit me!

*****

I got these from Matalan which isn't really somewhere I ever shop, but I had to go there with my mum last week and I was pleasantly surprised! They had some really really lovely things in there and I will definitely be making another trip there sometime soon! I got (more!) shorts! This time they are a little different, they are in a beautiful floral, pastel, daisy print! I love them! I haven't worn them yet because I'm really unsure of how to syle them so if you have any suggestions please leave me a comment below it will be much appreciated!

*****

Now I know this isn't very pretty or cute but Its just a basic for when I go to wakestock, its a maroon zip up jacket/hoodie. It was from H&M and was but £14.99. I usually style it with leggings and a top with the sleeves scrunched up and lots of pretty bracelets! 

*****
I got this top from fashionunion.com but It wasn't exactly what I was expecting! the whole of the front is made out of a really sheer net-like material so you would have to wear a vest top underneath it. However I still quite like the design at the front

  

*****

This top was also from fashionunion.com It looks massive on the picture for some reason but it looks like a normal top when its on! I love the design of this and love all the different colours! Its something abit different and not something I would normally go for but I like it!

*****

Now this top is just a really nice basic to have, it was from fashionunion.com and was about £3.00 I was really surprised at the quality of the material! It's really nice material and feels well made! It has 3/4 length sleeves and I really love it!

*****

And finally I got this gorgeous top from the Newlook kids section! This picture doesn't do it justice atall and it looks really nice on! It was only £11.50 so I just had to get it!

  

*****

Sorry I got bored while taking the pictures, atleast you get to see what one of the tops looks like on ahaha! (don't even ask why theres a plane in my living room, I don't even know... I actually dread to think what my nephew was doing with it ahaha)

Well I hope you enjoyed having a nosey at what I've been splurging on over the last few days!
Hope you have a nice week
All my love, Alex.X
