Winter Fashion Haul ♡

Hi there weshy wanderers, yet again I have been a bit MIA and have realised that I need to pay you some attention! So basically my life so far has been surrounded by my University work, working part time at Rogano and trying to keep updated with YouTube and just life in general! I have also started a new fitness and lifestyle regime and I am really hoping it works as I am totally sticking to it this time! I have a few friends at work who are doing it too so I am hoping that their motivation keeps me going! My family was here in Scotland for four days so I may have fallen off the wagon for a few days but now they have gone so I am hoping to get right back on the correct track! 

Anyway I have a few goodies coming up and I am hoping to spruce my blog up a bit! I have a few ideas for blog posts and videos coming up so I am hoping you enjoy them! This video is about my current winter wardrobe and what I have recently purchased! I hope you enjoy seeing what I have been buying and keep your eyes peeled for some different material soon!

Adorable Aztec ♡

Hi there wanderers, so I have sort of created a dent in my credit card lately..  What happened is that my card was blocked for just under a month and when I recently reactivated it I thought that I should celebrate.. by doing some shopping.. Now when I say some, you would expect up to four pieces maximum but unfortunately that's not the case here. Oops! I went online to Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, Boohoo, Missguided and Asos and found A LOT that I liked and indeed - needed - spent a lovely little fortune! 

In this post I have two tops; both different in style but in sticking with the same theme I find. I felt like I needed the white t-shirt with elephant print because cute much! But the second top is purely due to my utter fondness of all things aztec! My boyfriend was with me when I found this aztec inspired print and even he asked me "Why do you need all this aztec stuff? You literally only stare at it instead of wearing it". Which is totally untrue! 

 ♡ Elephant Parade Tee - £5.50

 ♡ Knit Top Aztec Cream/Black - £12.75

Sailor Savvy ♡

Hi there wanderers, once again I am so sorry about the lack of posts! Life does not want me to write and wants me to instead focus on my University work and my waitress job! In saying that I have had a rather interesting week:

- I have learned how to further use Avid Video editing equipment in my Video Production class at University. 

- I have worked non stop for five days in a row (that's ten to twelve hours a day) and learned that muscles in your feet CAN and WILL hurt for days on end.

- Feature Writing is incredibly interesting. 

- Writing about students travelling and studying abroad is making me super excited about travelling and studying in Melbourne, Australia come September!

Today's post however is on none of the above and much more about this super cute sailor/anchor themed trinket box/holder that I purchased today in Paperchase! It costs £3 but with a 10% student discount becomes £2.70; so inexpensive!

I know that this post is definitely not on anything that interesting but recently there has been a new stock change of sailor themed items in a lovely store named Paperchase and I cannot help but be totally mesmerised by the design. I am a huge fan of all things 'sea' inspired and I am going back in a couple of days to purchase a travel diary (with little anchors and seashells on the cover) for my escapades to Cyprus, Tunisia, Belgium, Spain, Turkey and Australia (which are all happening this year between May and September), an iPhone 5S case (with a picture of the sea and a cabana and a little quote underneath) and lastly a folder for all my University work (once again with anchors and seashells on it!)

I hope there are other sailor themed items admirers out there and that I am not alone in this obsession :) ♡

Nail Nirvana ♡

Hi there wanderers, and to join my list of many first, today's post will be all about nails and manicures! I am absolutely obsessed with all things nails and when I was younger I always thought nail varnish was an absolute waste of time! I did spend hours collecting them just for the colours though I never opened them once! 

I then grew to love light pink, pastel shades and would spend hours trailing through shops and finding that perfect baby pink shade. I can now say that I own at least three boxes full (about fifty) of a plethora of pastel pinks and baby shades. Most of them are now half empty as I did end up opening them and applying them everyday. However, once Summer came about in good old Belgium I decided to venture out and saw what OPI colours had to offer me (OPI is my favourite for long and durable nail colour). I moved from pink shades to more adventurous once such as sunshine orange, banana yellow, green grass and lilac purples. 

Now though I prefer to veer towards Matte shades as it is (or feels like) Winter here in Scotland. As soon as Summer is upon us again I will crack open those adorable pastel and soft shades! How about you? What shades do you always rely on?

Up Do Braid ♡

Hi there wanderers, welcome to my very first post on hairstyles and barnets! I can honestly say I am the type of person who obsesses over their hair far more than their make up.. I can go out to the shops or university or even work with no make up if needs be but I cannot go anywhere without styling my hair exactly as I like it! My do tends to stick to the same most days as it's what I'm comfortable with and what I know suits me. I straighten about 3/4 of my hair down the way and make sure I get all the curliness out then leave the end 4cm's naturally curly so as to give my hair an 'effortlessly wavy' feel. 

This look needs to be maintained every single day as during sleepless nights my hair enjoys reverting back to its natural curliness.. It usually takes me about thirty minutes to straighten it when washed (after having had a minimum four hour wait for it to dry; I refuse to use hairdryers when they only make my hair look even more dry) and then a quick five minutes every morning before going out for the day.

I watch so many styling tutorials and see so many different ways of styling my long auburn and ombre curls but I always seem to stick with what I know. So for your benefit I have decided to add some photographs of styles I have tried out on my hair (only to leave in for the five minutes I can be bothered) and my most inspired looks!

Classic Cuts ♡

Delicate Daisies ♡

Hi there wanderers, today's post is going to be on a new love in my life, and that is my Daisy crop jumper! I love all things daisy themed and I really wish that sometimes there weren't so many varieties in the daisy and flower department!

I honestly cannot get enough of anything floral themed and I'm talking especially sunflowers or daisies. Now the weird thing is my favourite flower (If I had to choose) would be a pink/red rose because they look so delicate and whimsy but when it comes to clothing or accessories; it's daisies all the way!

My absolute favourite item of clothing in the daisy department has got to be this totally adorable jumper I got from chicnova (click here to check it out!) that only totalled in me being £17.35 out of pocket, thus making it another instant bargain! Words cannot describe how in love I am with this jumper. 

To be honest, crop jumpers are not my favoured item of clothing as I feel they always make me look somewhat frumpy but this jumper does not disappoint! I would honestly recommend this miniature jumper to anyone as daisy obsessed as I am but you'll have to do some hunting as the online store I purchased it from is currently sold out! Fear not though as it doesn't seem this trend is going anywhere!

Birchbox January ♡

Birchbox January ♡

Hi there wanderers, today's post is all about unboxing my first ever Birchbox! As you may or may not know Birchbox is the best way to discover new beauty, grooming and lifestyle products. You can choose yourself if you'd like a monthly subscription or a 3-month, 6-month or yearly one. I myself have chosen a monthly subscription where I receive deliveries of top product samples from high-end brands and I can cancel the subscription whenever I would like. I find this system works the best as whenever I have received enough samples I can just press cancel! 

Another benefit is that this lovely box of high-end products costs me only £10 a month! A lovely little treat at the start of every month which gives me the opportunity to try out products I would never even think of buying. If you are looking to join just press here. The greatest thing about this amazing box is the fact that for a price of £10 I actually receive products that in total would equal £121.50 (for the January edition) although as the products are miniaturised sizes I understand that the price goes down and is probably more around £60 (still a bargain!).

♡ A hair saviour 

♡ An award winning primer

♡ Packed with nourishing shea butter

♡ Natural and allergy tested body oil

♡ A smooth hydrating mask
