Hello everyone!

I can't resist a good pair of shoes.

In my recent Spring Style post, I realised I didn't really include that many shoes so I thought, why not do a whole post dedicated to them?

Here are the shoes I've got my eye on this Spring - they're all flat because comfort is just as important as cuteness!

Now you know me, I love a good bargain but I think if you're looking to put money into any part of your wardrobe, shoes are the things to invest in. A decent pair of shoes will last you & be worth your hard earned cash!

I spotted the first two pairs on ASOS and just fell in love with the cut outs. They're obviously not meant for rainy days but on those glorious sunshiney moments we get in the UK they'll be very cute & something a little different too. Speaking of cute - jelly shoes! The 90's revival is still going strong and I can't lie, I kind of want a pair this year. Why the heck not? That's my motto. I've got my eyes on those lilac New Look ones. They'll see you into Summer too so if you're feeling brave, embrace the jelly!

For those weather confused days, a pair of boots will be essential and I think these ones from Boohoo are gorgeous. The stone grey shade isn't as stark as black so when put with a colourful outfit you'll be ready for Spring!

F+F at Tesco isn't my usual place to look for shoes but I have to admit, just from browsing their site I'm pretty impressed! Like I mentioned in my Spring Style Snippet post, blue seems to be everywhere at the minute and these two pairs of flats are a subtle but lovely way to get on that trend.

Plimsolls are definitely my shoe of choice all year round (I basically have a collection) and whether they be platform or regular, they're just a really useful shoe to have! I'm yet to jump on the Converse bandwagon but this polka dot & floral pair I spotted on Jones Bootmaker are right up my street. And last but not least, the humble striped loafer from H&M - because let's be serious, when will nautical ever not be Spring?

Well I hope you enjoyed this post! If you couldn't already tell I'm very happy to be trading Winter clothes for Spring ones!

Which is your favourite pair?

Hello everyone!

Seeing as Winter is gone now and Spring has officially sprung, I thought I'd share with you some of the fashion picks I've been eyeing up whilst browsing online shops like New Look, ASOS, River Island & Forever 21!

I've sorted everything into 3 sections for you; the patterns, the basics & those little extras that will brighten up your Spring wardrobe!

The PATTERNS

Midi bodycon skirt // Heels // Sweatshirt // White midi skirt // Blue skirt // Kimono // Green shorts

What would Spring be without some florals?
Kimonos are absolutely brilliant this time of year because they add a extra layer when it's chilly but then you can easily just chuck them in your bag when it's warmer! Plus, take it from me, you feel fancy as heck in them. I feel like pattern is out in full force this Spring, even more so than usual. There is just so much variety and also plenty of unique prints out there!

The BASICS

Short dungarees // Stripy top // Blue bag // Mom jeans // Grey top // Watch // Boots

No matter what season, it's always beneficial to have some basics to act as the backbone of your wardrobe. I've been contemplating adding a pair of short dungarees or mom jeans to my online basket, I think they'd make great outfits when paired with tops like the stripy or grey ones above. Or something patterned! Pastel blue seems to be popping up everywhere and the little bag is one way to sneak it into your outfit subtly - I have one of a very similar style also now New Look and it's one of my favourites!

The EXTRAS

Sunglasses // White cardigan // Pink bag // Yellow bag // Green sandals // Blue bag

And last but not least, those pretty little extras!

To be honest, I wasn't really interested in the whole metallics trend until I saw this backpack, then I fell in love! Fringing & colour blocking at also trends that get wheeled out every year and I'm really liking what I see. A light cardigan like the one on the left would also come in pretty useful!

Well I hope you enjoyed this style snippet and can take away some inspiration for your Spring wardrobe! Get involved in the comments below and let me know which things are your favourites!

Hello everyone!

Makeup Revolution were arguably the brand of 2014 and they still continue to bring out amazing product after amazing product. Since I reviewed a few of their things in the Summer
(1 // 2 // 3) I've been meaning to get a few more things to add to my collection!

Here are just a few of the things that are on my Makeup Revolution wishlist . . .

Flawless Palette // Baked Eyeshadow in 'Limitless' // Death by Chocolate Palette //

Amazing Eyeliner // Eyes Like Angels Palette

Let's start with eyes, shall we? Ever since I tried their matte palette, I've been itching to try some of their shimmer shadows as I'm always seeing stellar reviews of them! The Death by Chocolate palette is clearly 'inspired by' the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette which I covet but don't fancy shelling out all that dolla for. . . £8 from Makeup Rev.? Yes please! The liquid liner is something I didn't expect to want but after reading Stephanie's review I soon changed my mind for the better!

Blushing Hearts Blusher in 'Blushing Heart' // Pro Fix Fixing Spray //

Vivid Baked Highlighter in 'Peach Lights' // The One Fluid Blusher in 'Pink Dew'

Blush is not a thing I've ever ventured too far with. Only recently have I started trying new ones and now I'm eager to try more and more! I'm a recent convert to cream blush so I'm really curious about experimenting with a liquid one - hello Daniel Sandler dupe! Light pink would also be a new thing for me blush-wise as I usually go for the darker rosy pink shades. Ever since Makeup Revolution launched their skincare I was instantly intrigued - is there anything they can't do? I'm always looking for new ways to keep my make up in place for longer and for just a fiver, I'm willing to give this a try. Oh and who could pass up on that pretty heart packaging and shimmery goodness?

#LIPHUG in 'Who we are!' // Ultra Velour Lip Cream in 'Not one for playing games' //
#LIPHUG in 'To get lucky'

Last but not least, lip colours! What really impresses me about Makeup Revolution is their extensive shade range. Most ranges have about one nude, one light pink, one fushcia and maybe two reds but with MUR you're spoilt for choice. Especially with the #liphugs - you get a whopping 20 options! And their £2.50 price tag makes choosing so much easier . . . *fills online basket*

Well, I don't know about you but I sense a Makeup Revolution order coming on!

What's on your wishlist?

Hello everyone!

Today I wanted to share with you a few of the different pieces I've been adoring whilst perusing the aisles of the online shops. As you can probably tell it's quite pastel influenced - what can I say, I'm like a magnet to those soft, pretty shades!

How cute is that little camera coin purse?

I'm on the lookout for a coin purse for those times when I'm only carrying a small bag and don't need/want to lug around my big ol' wallet. The fact that this is so cute makes me wanna snap it up!

This denim midi skirt has been sitting in my New Look wishlist for toooo long. I want to try it on in store to see how it looks on me but I'm picturing it to be pretty cool with a pair of casual shoes and T-shirt for Summer.

Half sheer tops like these are simple staples for me - lightweight and bright so brilliant for the warmer months.

Some of my shoe picks include cleated black sandals and embellished silver heels. There a tons of black sandal boots about but these ones make an impression to me. I prefer shoes that cover the ankle so I think that's why. The ASOS heels are gorgeous but pricey, and honestly I think they're something anyone could make for themselves! Tutorial anyone?

Can you tell I'm on a midi skirt kick right now?

I just love the swishy feel of them and how elegant they look! I think the pink River Island one would go so well with those cute Boohoo double T bars. Major Pink Ladies vibes.

The Missguided top would be gorgeous tucked in to any of the midi skirt - the neck is a great way to add some subtle detail to the pastel look.

La Moda are killing it with their shoes - I came across them on Twitter and have fallen in love with everything on their site! Another pair of cleats, this time with a pink injection.

You just can't get me away from the pastel pink!
