Hellooo everyone, sorry its been a while, had lots of long days of shopping to do, so lets see what I brought....

I bought this lovely headband from primark for just £1 in the sale, got to love a bargain. it sits nicely on your head and does look rather elegant on...I just liked the fact that it had lots of gems that sparkled!
















The next naughty purchase was a beige studded tote bag, another great deal for £12 from none other than primark, again rocking out the stud trend.

Finally for the clothing buys I brought a sheer chiffon fabric top, sleeveless with a cage cut out high neck...three words...to. die. for. even thought it is black you can easily pull it off in the summer because its a veryyyy light fabric, stunning. for £8, primark...clearly my favourite shop at the moment. In the photo below I paired it with black leggings, and to dress it up added a clutch and caged wedges. if not I would wear it with a pretty skirt, high waisted shorts, or just plain jeans.






















Now for a few beauty buys...same effect as beauty sleep, but in a bottle that doesn't take 10 hours to achieve.

Starting with a foundation: I have to give this 5 stars, its a smooth liquid foundation, which I can assure you, does really give you a clear skin tone, covering up any marks such as freckles and under eye circles. for just £9, form maybelline. I wear the shade ivory.....I'm just a pale gally.




Next i just had to try Barry M's new chameleon nail polish! how cool does it look? For those of you who haven't seen it, get your self down to the shops or on their website. amazinggg. By putting a clear coat over it it changes colour :o an easy and quick way to pattern your nails. I bought mine in shade 330, a pink colour which then changes to a purple, for just £4, lovelyyyy.

 I hope you all enjoyed reading thought this, don't be scared to comment with your thoughts, what are your top buys recently? I'd love to know, until next time....byeeeee Katie x x x

PS...sorry about the slightly dirty mirror, its not mine!

I have a discovery to share with you all! this amazingly cute, summery nail design...little ice lollies and here's how to create them....

you will need:
a white nail varnish
enough bright pastel coloured nail varnish to cover your nails
a brown nail varnish
and for extra try using a top coat of clear, glittery nail varnish

start by painting your nails white, use enough layers so its a nice strong colour
then select a colour and paint down to just half way above the tip of your nail (so that its left white)
next draw a little brown line starting at the tip, up to where the colour starts
you can then cover the coloured section of your nail in glitter!

use this process for all nails and have fun showing them off wooo!

The nail varnishes i used...from left to right:

Bourjois Paris 1 second dry shade 18
Barry m blueberry ice cream shade 306
Barry m pink flamingo shade 305
2true shade 12
white nail varnish from Clarie's accessories
yellow and brown nail varnish from nails supreme set ( i got mine in Hamleys in Lodon :D)

hope you enjoined this, ta ta for now! x x x

fashion favourite

Can everyone in England believe this beautiful weather! finally time to put the winter jackets away and bring out the summer vest tops! A new fashion favourite of mine has got to be studs! They add just a little bit of edge to the cutest outfit. I'm quite girlie,  so I love the way studs have been used on pumps, chiffon shirts, and this dress!^
The silver stud detailing around the collar and cut outs at the waist put together with a floaty denim material, i had to have it!

Dress - Ella Tinos, £35
 PS, sorry for the bad lighting, thought id take a picture in the changing room :')
