My 16th Birthday!

Hi everyone!

On the 19th June it was my 16th birthday (finally!)
I had a party and invited around 60 of my friends and family to my house to celebrate!
I thought it would be nice to share a few of the pictures with you because I had such a special night!

*****

This is me and my sister just before people started to arrive! 

 Me and a few of the girls! 

Me and my cousins Ashley, me, Lucy and Vicky 

Lauren and Sian 

Really attractive picture of me blowing out my candles, seriously its impossible to do gracefully! 

Me and my cousin Lucy! 

Maria, Sophie, Bebee and Me! 

Sophie and Me!

My friends are crazy!  

Not too sure why everyone ended up on my kitchen floor but everyone else had gone by then so hey! 

Just before the last few went home! 
 *****
These pictures make it look like there was about 12 people there for some reason, but there was more, I promise ahah!
I really hope you enjoyed having a look through my pictures, we had such a good night, although we all definitely paid for it the next morning! There should be a birthday haul coming soon!

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

Small Fashion Haul!

Hi guys!

Today I have a really small fashion haul for you, it's just a few things I've bought recently (ish) and thought you might like to see!
So firstly I have a pair of shorts for you!

They were from H&M and were £12 which I think was a really good price considering all the wear I've had out of them already.  I don't know how well you an see in this picture put they are kind of scalloped on the legs, and I love that!
*****************************

Next is a skirt which was also from H&M and this was £15

I really do like this skirt, it's made out of really soft, light denim!  it has a really thick elastic waistband so I really like to wear it high waisted with a top tucked in and a nice pair of heels or wedges.

****************************

Next is this gorgeous top from River Island, this was £12 in the sale which I think is a rather good bargain!

                                                           

       It's a beautiful lemon colour with scalloped edges

It has flower details all the way across the neckline

                               

And layered fabric, the top layer is more sheer than the first.
I really do like this top, its so easy to style and goes with most things!

 ************************
Hi again guys!
This is a few days after I wrote all of that^^^
I've had major technical difficulties, my laptop just broke on me and I'm writing this from my mums computer, all the pictures are on my laptop so this will have to be it for now!  As soon as my laptop is fixed I will be able to finish off showing you the rest of the things I bought!
Hope you all have a nice week, all my love.

May Glossy Box!

Hi guys!

I received my May Glossy Box last week which was the 1st birthday edition so Happy Birthday Glossy Box! I was quite impressed by it for once! So I decided to do a post to show you what I got!

*************************************************

First up is the Noble Isle Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel

I always get a little annoyed when they put shower gels in the glossy box because everyone already has so much of it!
But I was pleasantly surprised with this one simply because of the smell!
It smells like summer in a bottle!  I got the scent 'Cornish Hedgerows' which has toning elderflower and antioxidant-charged gooseberry scents!

**************************************************

Next I got the Weleda face cream
I don't actually have very much information about this product because it's all in German. However, I have tried it and I don't really like it very much.  It smells lovely in the tube but horrible while its on!  Its super thick and when it goes on your face it stays sticky for ages and doesn't soak in for at least 10/15 minutes so you can't put your make up on straight away.   The little bit of information that came with glossybox states that it contains only natural ingredients which is always nice.

*************************************************** 

Next is the Uniqone all in one hair treatment
From what I can gather this is a leave in mask but again all the directions are in another language!  This is quite frustrating, I might email glossybox and mention this!
I expected this to come out as a liquid spray but as you can see its more like a thick cream! I think it'll be interesting to try this out!

***************************************************

Finally we have the thing which I was most excited about!  Its the Lest Go Lashes!  I really never ever wear fake eyelashes simply because I find them really fiddly and to much of a kerfuffle to put on and I've always been satisfied with the look my usual mascara gives me.  However I am definitely up for trying new things which was why I was excited about these! I would never of bought them myself and you never know I might love them!
They are made from 100% human hair and are re-usable.

****************************************************

I hope you enjoyed that, I certainly enjoyed writing it!
If you have any questions please just leave me a comment below!
Hope you all have lovely weekends!
