Leggings Obsession!

I have developed a total addiction to Topshop leggings recently. In the last few days I have bought three pairs.

I haven't actually had a chance to wear any of these yet but I'm sure you will be seeing them in an outfit post soon.

Other pairs I am coveting are:

I can see me caving and buying the side studded pair (top) soon! What have you guys been buying recently? 

Tis the season...festival that is

So the festival season is almost upon us! It's actually been a good few years since I donned a pair of wellies and joined a bunch of unwashed people in a pile of mud but this year I thought screw it lets go to T in the Park.

But this throws up the whole 'what should I wear?' question. This is a big struggle for me as I am a dress and ballet flats kinda girl and they don't mix when you are in a field with rubbish scottish weather (let's face it, it WILL rain!). Here are a few things I have my eye on for such an occasion: 

I have always struggled to find a decent pair of wellies as I have incredibly fat calfs, so even though I can get them on, I think they sit really funny and look horrible on me. The solution for this is....

Vivienne Westwood for Melissa studded booties £90.00

I love the button detail on these with the Westwood orb on them and black is my go to colour of choice. They are also the perfect ankle length avoiding my whole fat calf drama. Perfect!

Topshop Dripping Peace Vest £ 18.00

What could be more festival than a peace sign? The perfect top for skinny black jeans and drinking strongbow.

ASOS Cross Sunglasses Chain £ 4.00

I think these would look great on my Ray Bans and they are only 4 quid, bargain!

ASOS Orchid Flower Headband £ 8.00

Come on, it wouldn't be proper festival post without the flower headband! I love the pearls in the middle of the flowers, bringing a little festival glam!

What are your festival must haves when it comes to clothing?

Weekly Wishlist

This week I am currently obsessing over:

These awesome diamante spike flat shoes from Soyoushoes.co.uk (£ 30.00). These are right up my street and as soon as they come back into stock in my size they will be mine, oh yes, they will be mine.

Navy sequin mini prom dress from River Island (£70.00). I got a 470 dhs gift card for Mall of the Emirates for my birthday and can't decide what to spend it on. I could get lots of bits and pieces from H & M or Forever 21 or blow it all on this one lovely dress. Decisions, decisions. 

Macbeth crop top from Tee and Cake at Topshop. Who doesn't want to pay £20.00 for a bit of Shakespeare in their wardrobe? I think this T will be perfect for summer over my black maxi dress, I will just need to justify the price to myself.

Dopey top (£ 21.99) and Seven Dwarfs cropped pants (£18.99) both from Oysho.

Oysho is my favourite place to buy pjs. They do they cutest designs and they are super comfy too. Every Christmas my mum always buys a new set for my sister and I. They also do really sweet jumpers, cardigans and underwear too. I was lucky enough to get a gift voucher to spend in there so I will be purchasing some new bed wear soon.

Anything you guys are currently lusting over?

My Top Five Lipsticks

I am a self confessed lipstick whore. Nothing is better than buying a new lipstick! I have about 60 in total and always have my eye on a few more. So here is my top five out of all the lipsticks I currently own.

Number One: D'Lilac by Lime Crime

I like to think of this one as my signature colour. I absolutely love it. I know some people aren't a fan of Lime Crime but I think the range of colours and the look of the packaging is great. The only problem I have is that the plastic the lids are made of seems very flimsy. The lids on three of mine have cracked and one has never been outside the house! People always comment on this colour and are fascinated when I show them the super cute unicorn themed casing. If you haven't tried any of their lipsticks yet I would head to your nearest Space .NK. store to try them in person. The formula is very rich and creamy and the colour pays off nicely. I'm desperate to get my hands on the Chinchilla one next.

Number Two: Candy Yum-Yum by MAC Quite Cute Collection

This is one of these limited edition lipsticks I wish I bought five of. I think it's the greatest pink lipstick ever! I heard from a MAC MUA in one of the New York stores that they may bring it back for good. News that would make my life. It's a matte formula lipstick, which I prefer, has amazing colour pay off and is just faboosh!

Number Three: Blankety by MAC

This lipstick was an impulse buy in the MAC in Orlando. My dad had given me $200 dollars to spend, a lot of it went on Harry Potter merchandise (naturally) and whatever I had left went on MAC including this colour. Before Viva Glam Lady Gaga 2, I never ever would of thought of buying a nude lipstick but I really like that colour and it got me to branch out and try other nudes in the MAC range. Blankety is definitely my favourite. It's slightly browner than the other nudes and is described as soft pink beige on the MAC website. It was quite hard to get an accurate photo of it as it looks much darker in the tube than it is on the lip. It's my everyday, goes with everything, go to lipstick.

Number Four: Russian Red by MAC

This was also another impulse buy. I was after Ruby Woo for ages and could never find it in stock so I finally admitted defeat and bought Russian Red instead. Well this was a few years ago and I do now own Ruby Woo but I must say that Russian Red still owns my heart. It's such a great red shade, a matte finish, no where near as drying as Ruby Woo and is perfect for a vintage, pin up look. It's a red with a blueish undertone which I find suits my skin tone well. I have found you can never go wrong with a MAC red lipstick so this one is a must for your make up bag.

Number Five: Vamp by Topshop

I will admit in the tube this lipstick doesn't look like much. In fact it looks like a really horrible brown colour but I can assure you that it is oh oh so more. It's actually a sexy, dirty, berry red colour, something I was searching for for ages only to eventually find it in Topshop. Unfortunately I don't think they stock it any more :(. It's the kind of lipstick that takes an outfit from day to night with just a quick slick. The finish is not the best and it can be slightly drying but the lipstick definitely lives up to it's name!

What's your favourite lipstick?

OOTD- Reel Around The Fountain

Belt: New Look

Hair Band: Borrowed From My Sister

Very casual look for me today. Managed to pick this dress up in the Topshop sale the other day for 49 dhs (£8) and decided it needed a really over the top hair band to jazz it up a wee bit so voilà here it is all together! Have you guys gotten any great deals recently?

First OOTD!

So excited it's my first outfit of the day post! First I must apologise for the photos, I took them on my Macbook so they aren't the best and taking photos of yourself is hard! I am in no way a good photographer and don't profess to be so bear with me!

Leggings: Topshop

Shoes: Alexander McQueen

Bag: Steve Madden

Necklace: Topshop

Cross ring: New Look

Off Work, Will Shop

I was busy busy busy today as I had a day off work and decided to cram in a haircut and colour, eyelashes extensions and a quick shop. So here is a photo of my new hair.

When I went to Dubai Mall I had a quick look in the shops before my eyelash appointment. Forever 21 proved rather lacklustre so I moved on to New Look where I picked up this dress on sale.

Not the best picture (sorry) but you get the idea. If you haven't realised already I love black so here is another LBD to add to my collection. This one has sparkling little diamantes all over it and looks really flattering on. It was 500 dhs (£84) reduced to 150 dhs (£25) so a bargain too.

I picked up these leggings in Topshop for 150 dhs (£25) which is probably a bit of a rip off but I knew I would get a lot out of wear out of them (sure enough they are a whole 5 quid cheaper on the topshop website, oh well).

And last but by no means least.

I treated myself to a reese's chocolate bar from the Hershey's store. YUM!
