Benefit eyebrow kit £23.00

I can't live without my Benefit eyebrow kit...It's fantastic little kit for shaping your brow's and highlighting your brow line. Dark eyebrows are very 'in' at the moment and I can not leave the house without having mine perfect. It has a wax that sets your eyebrows and then two shades to fill them in along with highlighting cream and powder and also some handy travel sized tweezers. It is a tad expensive but really worth the money, my kit has lasted me for months. I really feel better when I have used the kit as having perfect eyebrows can add symmetry to your face and make you're eyes bigger.

(I rarely ever get my forehead out...but for the sake of sharing beauty tips I have for you..)

Biking.

I love living in London and if you're ever in London I recommend you hire one of the 'Borris Bikes'. My Boyfriend and me made us a picnic and headed to Hyde Park last weekend (we're trying to London on a budget as we are both trying to save money) and for fun we hired a bike each. It cost a pound to gain access to the bikes and a pound for the first hour. It was so fun! We just stayed in Hyde Park as we didn't fancy braving the London roads on a weekend ( Hyde Park is massive anyway so more than enough to cycle round!).

excuse the silly face.

SO FUN!!

We look like twins in our hats but hey...

Suitable Festival Attire?

Is this hat too much for a festival?......

Hat-Primark £3.00 (!)

.......I think maybe yes, I would definitely obstruct someone's view of the stage.

- Shame!

LOVE.

I LOVE Mulberry's a/w campaign with photography (and a film) by Tim Walker and set design by my favourite Shona Heath. It's whimsical and elegant and just so English.

I think the whole thing really captures the brand, I love the choice of song too (Miike Snow, Animal).

I also now want a fox as a pet.

Recent Purchases- New Look.

When I was back 'up north I popped into New Look and picked up these b-e-a-utiful moccasin shoes. They're so nice I thought it'd be rude not to share them with you.

Moccasin's- £17.99

I think they're perfect for wearing now in summer and will last me into winter, they're really comfy for work too.

Want...

Call me a little bit crazy, I know it's august but I am still lusting over all things a/w. I've already bought an amazing thick knit jumper from Primark (picture to follow when I have my camera back and working again...) and two new pairs of boots including these baby's from Topshop that I got off ebay for a bargain. So added to my a/w wish list is this....

Balenciaga Dog Jumper- £525.

...I know, I know I am dreaming with a price tag of £525 but there's just something about this jumper I really like...I think as it's verging on the edge of cool and utterly tacky. I'm not a dog owner myself, (I wish I was) but I love it. Infact I think a whole range of jumpers should be brought out with a whole range of pedigree's to choose from.*

*I am aware this range is most probably available for very cheap down some market...if anyone has any leads, hit me up, tar. xx

Boots.

Ok so yes, it's august and we are in the height of 'summer' (all be it a very dismal English one..) but I have the biggest craving for boots at the moment, every store I go to I'm drawn to them...Hurry up winter so I  can justify buying so many pairs of boots. I've already purchased these from Asos and I have been living in them but I need more. I think I have an addiction to ankle boots and my addition is not helped in the slightest by how many gorgeous pairs there are out there at the moment. Here's just a taster of my massive wishlist....

1. / 2./ 3./4./5./6.

All boots Topshop.

Gimmie Gimmie!

Recent Purchases- Forever 21

1. Basic Skinny Jeans £8.75 2.Chiffon Floral Skirt £12.75

A few years ago when I was in California I came across a 'Forever 21' store and I loved it, It was so cheap I got a gorgeous tartan dress that is one of my go-to favourites but I'd totally forgot about it's existence until I heard it was coming to the UK, The first store opened in Birmingham and now finally they've opened a beautiful new store just outside of Bond Street station. With blogger Bip Ling in all their adverts (she is the brands 'style ambassador') I got all excited about the opening and the store didn't disappoint- It's full of treats and really cheap, I'd say it was somewhere in between H&M, New Look andTopshop, with the prices more like Primark  ( but a totally less hellish experience!!). The visual merchandising and feel of the stores really nice, the styling of the mannequins is great but the only thing I would say is I'd see something I liked on a mannequin but finding the item was impossible as it would be no where near the display, there was one dress I saw that I liked, searched for it for ages and eventually found it on a totally different floor (my time as a visual merchandiser for Miss Selfridge have taught me that is a big no no!!) other than that though it really is great. I overheard one of the sales assistants say to a customer that they only stock 65 of each item in the whole of the country which, if that's true, makes me like the store even more as it makes you feel like you're picking up something a little bit more unique and special than the majority of the mass produced stuff you get on the high street. I only picked up these two things (believe me I had to stop myself from getting more but my poverty funds at the moment wouldn't let me!) but I will be going back once payday (finally) comes.
