Leather Lovin'

Last weekend I went and done a little shopping with my Mum, and it was done very quickly because my baby brother joined us, and you can imagine how rushed we were!

I found this in Swamp, for less than 5 euro's and I was so happy! It's a high wasted, faux leather skater skirt and it's pleated. Can we just take a minute to admire how pretty this is? It may be love, ladies!

I've so many idea's as to how to style this, so keep an eye out for some outfit posts soon!

GHOST Whisper Blush

Unlike a lot of beauty bloggers that I read, know and love I do not own a lot of perfume. I don't have a super pretty collection to show you, in fact I think I own three bottles in total. I'm very fussy when it comes to perfume, it's not something I can justify spending money on a lot of the time... However, I recently received this bottle of GHOST Whisper Blush as a gift, and it's so beautiful I had to share it with you.

The bottle is clear and baby pink ombre effect which is so delicate looking, and the scent is sweet without been over powering, and there's a warm undertone to it. It's so long lasting as well, I like how it lingers for so long as not many perfumes I have tried before have done that!

If you see it in Boots or anywhere else, give it a little sniff - do your nose a favor!

A little look into SPECSPOST

Recently I was given a chance to collaborate with an online glasses company called Specspost. I was so excited to be involved because I've been wearing glasses since I was about four... now, for non glasses wearers this post might seem a little boring but for all you lovelies who do need a little help in the sight department I hope this helps!

Getting the right shape and style of frames is a big deal, they must suit your personality as well as your face shape, along with your budget. Specspost seem to have all of these factors covered, I've paid up to 400 euro's for glasses before and they got smashed at a uni house party. Fabulous! 

So, the lovely Charlotte asked me to pick out four sets of frames of my choice ( sidenote - this was so hard because the more I looked the harder it was to choose! ) and feature them here in Wonderland! Personally, I love shopping for new glasses, it's just as fun as buying nee clothes, shoes or make up! 

What I've decided to do i give you a quick over view of the frames I chose in this post and over the next week I'm going to pair each frame with a different look just to switch thing's up a bit, and show you how I would wear them, sounds good? I think so!

The first pair I chose were these purple and black geek style frames, I LOVE them but, alas, they do not suit my chubby cheeks in my opinion.

The next ones I got were these, I chose them because they are quite like my own but just a little more!

I picked these ones because in all my years of wearing glasses, and I'm nearly 22, I have never owned a pair that had weren't pink purple or black, so when I saw green, I was very curious!

And finally, these babies, oh my days, these are fabulous! They are described as an Alexa Chung style, which not only do I agree with, but I love. They are so different, and quirky and I really love these. By far my favourite.

What do you think of my choices?

The TAG of all knowladge

So my lovely Amy tagged me to do a TAG that she made up herself, and after giving hers a read I thought yep, let's give that a whirl! So here we go....

1. If you were a rock-star, what items would you demand on your rider?

I've had experience been the other side of this, where I had to get thing's for musicians who were rather fussy, but I guess if the shoe was on the other foot I would want..... Oh this is hard. Okay, I'd want Blue Maxwell House coffee, I don't care where we were in the world, the stuff is my best friend. I'd also want milky bars on request, a person to mind Benjamin so I could take him everywhere with me. I also think I'd want my own pillow, and someone to cook for me at my leisure. Not asking for much, am I?

2. If you could afford any designer piece, be it clothing, shoes or accessories, what would it be and how would you style it? If you can, post a picture.

This is an easy one. An Alexa Mulberry (see below)

3. What kind of a teenager were you? Goth? Princess? Nerdy?

I didn't really fit into any of these catagories. I'm as quirky now as I was when I was 15. I've had the same group of friends since I was in nappies.

5. What fictional character would you most like to have dinner with and why?

Ahhh lads, this is so hard! Probably Harry Potter, everyone and anyone who knows me knows how much of a fan I am. Or possibly Carrie Bradshaw.

7. Tell me about your first ever make-up purchase.

Oh dear, it was a shimmery lilac roll on eye shadow from Rimmell. It was awful. I still own it!

8. It's the year 2020, where do you hope to be in life?

I'd be like 27? So umm, I don't know. I'd like to have a career by then, hopefully in Fashion PR/Marketing/Merchandising. I'd also like to be in a big city somewhere. 

9. What is your drink order of choice when you go out? 

Either a strawberry & lime kopparburg, or a Vodka half black half white.

10. We all have a "Dirty Sexy Crush", so tell me: Who is yours?

John James Preston i.e Mr Big, Max Branning (don't ask it's the voice) or Aaron Hotchner!

5 Things I've Been Loving #2

I done one of these posts quite a while ago, and I liked it. So here's the second installment of my '5 Things I've Been Loving' series...

1. American Horror Story. One word - Obsessed. If you haven't watched it, do it. Stop reading this post and just go and watch it! You won't regret it.

2. Blogging. Rekindled my love with blogging in 2014, and I'm on a roll! Hi Wonderland, I missed you.

3. Excercising. Pretty random for me, but between #bbloggersWLW, Slimming World, Zumba, Running and everything else, it's becoming quite addictive.

4. Skincare. This is something I've been getting more intrigued with by the week, and currently testing out a few products that I'm happy with. When I have a proper skincare routine I'll update you. If you have any suggestions for products I should try out, tweet me :)

5. Velvet Gh0st. A blogger and YouTuber I have loved this month. Gabriella is funny, quirky and gorgeous, if you don't watch her check her out here.

What have you been loving lately? <3

#bbloggersWLW

This post is going up quite late today, I'm sorry about that! It's been a long day, and already a long week, and its only Wednesday. Roll on Friday, I miss the weekend.

How are you all? Tell me something motivating you've done this week, because truth be told, I need some. This week has been very just, blah. I hope I'm not the only one who gets weeks like this... Everything is just bland, boring, and too much effort. Yet I don't know why? I think my anxiety adds to feelings like this so I am just trying to push through and ignore it. I just can't seem to shift the bad mood and pain from my shoulders. Oh dear this is a very moany post..

In terms of a weight loss this week, there was none, there was no gain either... Oh well, I'll be back next week and I promise that this will be a happier post...

For all the other ladies taking part in #bbloggersWLW tweet me and let me know how you're doing!

Much love xox

Brand Focus: Oriflame UK

Over the past two months or so, I've been trying out lots of different products to try and get my hair in better shape because it has been through a LOT in the last few years and I'm trying to get it as healthy as possible.

This product from Oriflame UK has helped a lot, it's a serum that you put into damp hair to help split ends. It's called the HairX Restore Therapy Split Ends Serum. I only use a tiny bit each time, around one pump and its enough. After I put it in, and blow dry my hair I've noticed its not as dry as it used to be, it's getting smoother and breaking less which of course, is the desired result.

One of the best things about this product, is the scent. It is to die for, it smells warm but yet sweet? I don't know, I'm awful at describing this kind of thing, a common trend among beauty bloggers I've noticed!
