#TeenBlogSeries: 10 Facts About Me

Monday, 25 August 2014

Teen Bloggers Anouska Millar and Beth have decided to start a project called #TeenBlogSeries. Its aim is to bring together lots of the teens/young adults in the blogging community. For the next ten consecutive weeks, over 80 bloggers will be writing every Monday at 6:30pm about many different things, all beauty, lifestyle or fashion related. You can view everyones posts by going to the hashtag on twitter "TeenBlogSeries". If you would like to supply products for the giveaway, get involved, or have any questions, please email: anouskateenblogger@googlemail.com

Firstly, I am so incredibly excited to be taking part in this series and can't wait to read everyone else's posts! So, for the first post, we will all be sharing 10 facts about ourselves- here goes...

1) As much as I like trying adventurous foods, I tend to cook fairly plain meals.
2) I absolutely love packing for trips but hate the mess that accompanies unpacking.
3) I find different languages and cultures fascinating.
4) I have a new obsession with winged eyeliner!
5) My usual drink of choice is water... I know, so boring!
6) If I don't make my bed and tidy up my room before I start my day, it really bothers me!
7) My biggest pet peeve is when people are noisy when they eat, yuck!
8) I have changed my mind as to what I want to study at university so many times and still don't really know!
9) I have been a vegetarian for about 10 years but have considered becoming a vegan when I live on my own.
10) It's an obvious one to finish with but I am obsessed with trying out all different beauty products, even though I don't wear makeup everyday. I also love doing other people's makeup!

Wow! Well that's my first post done for the #teenblogseries and I can't wait to share the next with you. Please go and check out the posts of all of the other involved bloggers- I know I will be!

Thanks for reading!

My Shoe Wishlist!

Monday, 4 August 2014

I have always been totally enthralled by shoes and at the moment, my wishlist of shoes that I've got my eyes on is growing rapidly so I thought I would share a few of them with you all! 



I have wanted a pair of loafers or moccasins from fat face for months after seeing some that my sister has had for over a year. I think these are perfectly classic and somewhat vintage-like and could be worn with jeans and dresses alike!
                                                                                                                        
 



Now, these weren't a planned part of this post as I spotted them when finding the link for the above pair... I just can't help myself! I am obsessed with this forest/hunter green colour and saw a particularly lovely handbag in accessorize today in this colour that very nearly came home with me! I absolutely love these!
 



As a converse fan, I absolutely love these as a prettier and more feminine option. I love all of the patterns and prints but these red polka dot ones are probably my favourite! In the UK, these are available at Schuh in most stores and online and I also visited a Hollister store today that was carrying the brand, although the range was very limited.





There are a few pairs of Sperrys that I like the look of although I keep getting drawn to these because of the beautiful floral panel- love the colours and love the print! Boat shoes are a great summer staple and these are the ultimate! If you aren't a fan of the floral, I'd definitely check out some of the solid coloured ones; they are available in the UK at Schuh!
I love this style of sandal and I definitely think we have enough of summer yet to rock these for a while longer! The double strap detail gives this simple shoe a little something more which I adore!

As if I needed another pair of sandals... actually, of course I do! ASOS has really delivered with these beautiful floral printed sandals and I really think these would brighten up any plain outfits, as well as being dark enough to be autumn appropriate!

Yes, another ASOS pick! I think these will be a real love-hate option but I for one absolutely love them! The colour is gorgeous for adding a pop of colour and the small block heel means that they are perfect for everyday wear...

My last shoe pick is a little strange as it's a trainer but I have been wanting these for a while now and as an intermittent (weather permitting!!) runner, I think I would get a fair amount of use out of them!





As you can imagine, there are many more shoes that I could happily add to this list but for now, these 8 are the main ones! I'd love to know which shoes you're currently craving so share them below! 



Have a fantastic day!

Summer Sale Picks- Pastel Snow

Saturday, 2 August 2014

One of my preferred online past-times is perusing the sale sections of all my favourite sites and although this isn't good for my bank balance, it is exciting to see all of the new pieces that are entering the sales, many of which are still very 'on-trend'! Today, I have found 8 different sale top picks in whites, neutrals and pastels that I am absolutely loving...




I hope you enjoy these sale picks; I know that I'd love to buy them all! There are so many great sale pieces around now so I would definitely recommend having a little browse. I really enjoyed putting this post together so I'd love to do something similar soon if you'd like to see it.



Have a lovely day,
