Marks and Spencer's Pure Cotton Floral Embroidered Vest

At first I wasn't going to buy this top after looking at the price tag.

22,50 pounds.

Luckily Mother AllSorts persuaded me to buy it, as I always wear vest tops in the summer, and the floral embroidery is really pretty, making a feminine piece for your everyday wardrobe.

Again I brought it from the Marks and Spencer's on Oxford Street near Marble Arch, London.

Also available to purchase online:

If you have noticed, mostly all the things I brought on my trip to London were from M&S.

Spain doesn't have a Marks and Spencer's so whenever I visit England I always seem to buy a lot in M&S.

I am really pleased I brought this top, as I have worn it a couple of times now.

It's great for wearing with smart, casual jeans or a smart pencil skirt.

Here I combined it with smart casual dark jeans.

These jeans I purchased ages ago from a shop in Spain, Dandara.

They cost me around 19 Euros to 20 Euros.

The Sandals I'm wearing I purchased in March, I did write a post about them which I will link below:

Summer Sandals

The vest is made with pure cotton, it's extremely cool, light and comfortable to wear.

You won't regret spending 22,50 pounds on it, it's a great buy.

The floral embroidery is really pretty and made with great detail. The back of the vest is plain, white.

Marks and Spencer outfit

Hi guys, today i'd thought i'd share with you an outfit i purchased while i was in London.

Sorry if i look a bit serious but i took this picture outside and i had so much sun on my face i forgot to smile hehe.

Now I'm no super model, my size is currently a 14, I used to wear a 16 but managed to lose weight.

The entire outfit is from Marks and Spencer.

www.marksandspencer.com

I'll start of with the denim jeans.

I am loving the colour!!!!

Pale Apricot, skinny jeans for 25 pounds.

They also had this colour in different types of trousers.

They are extremely comfortable to wear.

So far I am really pleased with them.

 

 The t-shirt with a butterfly print is really pretty.

It wears and washes well.

I can't remember how much i brought if for but i think it was around 18 pounds.

Looking on Marks and Spencer website i haven't managed to find it, but i know they have a lot in the shop as i only visited it on Saturday. 

If you are interested in this t-shirt, I brought it from Oxford Street London.

It's great to wear with all types of jeans, i find white goes with pretty much everything.

Will keep posting my purchases from London during the week.

Lace Up Trainer Shoes

While I was in London, i was on the look out for simple white trainers.

I already have designer trainers Puma and Converse, but recently i have noticed many people wearing plain lace up trainers.

I brought these trainers from Marks and Spencers, Oxford Street London.

They are available to purchase online.

www.marksandspencer.com

Extremely comfortable, relaxed and fashionable.

Available in White, Grey, Navy and Red.

For only 15 Pounds, they are well worth the money.

I have regretted not buying another pair, in Grey with a Pink sole :)

They are of good material and will last you a long time, depending on how well you look after your shoes.

 Thanks for reading x

Trip to London

Hi guys, back to blogging after spending 2 nights in central London, Marble Arch.

I stayed at the Thistle Hotel, I can highly recommend this hotel for it's location, on Oxford Street, but I would advise you to ask for the quieter side of rooms available, to get a good night sleep without the constant noise of traffic!!!

Managed to spend a lot while I was there hehehe.

Will post pictures and reviews of what i have purchased during the week.

Apart from just spending money, I did enjoy a West End Show, WAR HORSE.

Spectacular show, currently being shown at the New London Theatre on Drury Lane, very emotional.

 I did watch the film before going to see the show, to be able to understand the story.

I was sat on the second to front row, great position as the puppeteers get really close.

I wouldn't however recommend the very front row, as it's slightly too close, and during the show they pump smokey air in the air and the front row seemed to suffer.

I also enjoyed a visit to the Harry Potter Studio Tour, in Watford.

For 1 person it costs 25 pounds.

Well worth the money, the tour can last you up to 3 hours or longer.

There is an option of an audio guide for a few pounds, but i didn't feel the need to have one.

You are allowed to take as many pictures as you like so make sure you have your camera charged up!

I travelled by train from London Euston Station to Watford Junction. At Watford Junction station there is a Studio Tour bus waiting every 30 mins.

I had a great time, lots of things to see, and you do get a chance to fly on a broomstick!!!

Here are a few pictures from the tour.

Have you been yet?

LONDON

On my way to LONDON!

Back to blogging on Monday.

Bags Bags Bags

Can a girl really have enough handbags?

My friend brought me this bag yesterday, an early birthday present since he won't be here to celebrate it.

I love this style of classic bag, an ideal size for all my essentials.

This bag has lots of different interior pockets to use, and one outside pocket which i find very useful for my phone. As i'm sure i'm not the only one but when one puts there mobile inside the bag, whenever it rings i can never find it, so i love the exterior pocket.

Also included with the bag is a longer shoulder strap which is easy to clip on and off.

What's your favourite type of bag????

Thanks for reading!

Thermal Recovery Hair Products

Tresemme Thermal Recovery

Brought these hair products the other day, as i was looking for something to give my hair some extra nourishment.

My hair suffers from a lot of heat, as I continuosly use the hair dryer and straighteners.

For only 5,49 Pounds 900ml it's well worth the money.

 Containing Aloe Vera and Almond Oil Extracts restoring vibrancy and shine back to hair.

So far I'm really pleased with the product as my hair feels a little better and it has covered up split ends.

I also use the Tresemme Heat Protector spray every time i apply heat to my hair to give it some extra protection.

Battle of the Brews

Battle of the Brews

The most popular hot drinks in the world.

BUT

Which one wakes you up in the morning????

Personally, I can't stand coffee, I hate it.

I find it to strong and the smell really puts me off.

So for me Tea is definitely the winner.

I Love a cuppa and a biccie.

I saw this picture yesterday online and thought it perfect for todays battle!

Can't beat a cuppie and a biccie :).
Although you couldn't put a chocolate biccie in the pocket as it would melt :(.
What's your winner?

Red Nails

RED NAILS

Last night I decided to wear RED, as tonight i'm going out to dinner!

I have been wearing a lot of neutral colours recently.

Can't wait to get hold of Maybelline's latest neutral colour range, have you tried them yet?

I always apply two coats of nail varnish, although i do find that RED chips easier than the neutral colours, but thats probably because it's more noticeable.

I love wearing red with dark blue and white clothing. They always stand out, love it!

 I don't have the most prettiest of feet, but i'd thought i'd show you how the colour looks on toe nails.

I love wearing darker colours on my toe nails, darker colours always look good with sandals.

What's your favourite colour?

Introducing Mr Piggy's sister, Bella.
I'm sure she was getting jealous of all Mr Piggy's recent fame.

Eyebrow Shaping

Now just to confirm that i'm not a beauty expert, so below are just some guidelines of what i've learn't to get the correct eyebrow shape.

Eyebrows are very vital in the way you look, but only one will be right for your face.

So first determine the correct design for your face and features.

Begin by checking to see if your eyebrows need a trim, simply trimming them can be enough for some faces.

So always trim before tweezing as you might remove some hairs that just needed to be trimmed.

Brush the hairs straight up with a brow brush, then trim any stray hairs that extend past the upper brow line. Then do the same to any stray hairs that extend past the brow line underneath.

Once done brush all hairs back into place.

I like to use tweezers when shaping my eyebrows.

Be careful not to tweeze too much, i speak from experience hehe.

Always make sure you have good lighting when shaping.

1. Using a thin eyeliner pencil, vertically hold the pencil against the side of your nose, straight up to wear it meets the brow. This is wear the brow starts.

2. Turn the pencil at an angle so it crosses over the CENTER of your eye. My eye is slightly out because of the way i took the picture. So make sure it crosses over the CENTER. 

This is where the peak of the arch could start.

3. Than finally move the pencil at an angle until it meets the edge of the outer eye. This is your eyebrow's ending point.

This is just a general guideline on how the shape of your eyebrow should be based on the shape of your face. My eyebrows aren't perfect!

If you are still unsure use an eyebrow stencil to help you.

I would highly recommend that for your first eyebrow shaping, go to a beauty salon. It's something that i never did. It's not an expensive procedure!

 You can pay for one session and then simply pluck the stray hairs at home for maintenance.

I hope this has been of use!

Please comment below if i have missed anything!
