November Favourites


I can't believe that it is already time for my November favourites post, but that makes me very excited because it means that it's almost time to open day one of my advent calendar hohoho! (Lindt chocolate anyone)

B is for Bee canvas pouch - I bought this a few months ago from the company that I used to work for as we got everything we stocked half price (which was very bad for my bank balance) but great for me! I can't find it stocked anywhere other than the site linked.

Barry M nail polishes (L to R - Lychee, Almond and Cappucino) These have become a new favourite of mine in the past few months, especially the Gelly high shine ones. These polishes are perfect for those of you like me who are very impatient when it comes to nail painting/drying. With one coat you can get a completely opaque finish that dries in no time at all - perfect!

Botanical Rose iphone case - I am an iphone case-aholic, there is no denying it! I am also a big fan of Rifle Paper Company so both of those things combined is a dream. The pastel colours and delicate 'rpc' logo are so beautiful.

Taylor Swift 1989 Cd - It is a very rare occasion for me to buy a CD. I pay monthly for a Spotify account but this album isn't available on it, I was going to download it on iTunes but there is something far more enjoyable about actually owning the CD and being able to put it on in my car! All of the songs are just so catchy, my favourites are definitely, Bad Blood, Wildest Dreams, Style and Out Of The Woods.

Art House Meath Notebook - I don't think this exact notebook is for sale anymore but I have linked the same one in black and white. This screen printed notebook is from a Charity called Art House Meath, all of the things they sell are designed by adults living with severe Epilespy and/or learning difficulties. I think it is so beautiful with the neon pink teapots - and whats even better is that 100 percent of the profits go to the charity.

Autumn / Winter wishlist

Dress TOPSHOP, How cute are the little Llamas?
Boots DR.MARTENS, I love that these are velvet and they have tiny floral detailing on them, they also come in black.
Jumper TOSPHOP,  I really want a big knitted jumper that I can wear with leggins and this one is perfect!
Raspberry Nail Polish SUPERDRUG (only available in store now I think) I have wanted a burgundy/red nail polish for ages and now is the      perfect time to get one I think!
Dress TOPSHOP (I know this dress isn't very practical, but I love how pretty it is! If only it had been around when I was looking for my prom dress)

Don't forget to enter my giveaway for the chance to win some handmade Jewellery!

Tag, 8 Fall (Autumn) loves

Hello Everyone, today I am doing a tag! I was tagged by the lovely Khadija to do the '8 Fall loves Tag'
 
1) Favourite nail polish:
My favourite nail polish for Autumn is probably, 'My Private Jet' by OPI! It's such a pretty browny/gold shade that's all sparkly :D

 
2) Favourite Eyeshadow:
I don't really have a favourite eyesahdow as I never wear it because it doesn't really suit me! But if I were to pick a colour I would probably go for a browny, gold orangey shade.

3) Favourite Blush:
 I only own about 2 blushes, but I really love my Sleek one in the shade 'Flushed' which is a really lovely deep pinky/red.
 4) Favourite clothing item:
I would probably say a big knitted jumper or cardigan, but I also love my Leather Jacket I got from Zara, it's so warm and comfy and I wear it everyday! 

5) Favourite Autumn Lipstick:
I love anything deep red for Autumn! SO I would say my Rimmel lipstick '480 classic Wine' or a deep red one that I have from MUA, I don't know the number of this one becasue the label has rubbed off, sorry. 

6) Favourite Auntumn Jewellery item:
Oooh I don't really have one for this, because I just tend to wear whatever goes with what I'm wearing! But I think my gold collar necklace from Kukee is quite Autumnal.

7) Favourite Autumn Perfume:
I think it would have to be either, the body shop Vanilla perfume, because it is so lovely and lasts for ages or another body shop perfume called 'Amorito' because this one is such a lovely scent, I can't describe it all, but it reminds me of Christmas and my Mum because she always wears it too!

8) Favourite Miscelaneous Autumn Item:
My fingerless elbow length gloves form H&M! They are knitted and deep burgundy and I think they are called 'hand warmers' but I just love them! 

9) What is th ething you look forward ot most in Autumn?
HALLOWEEN HALLOWEEN HALLOWEEN!!! :D I get so excited because I love any excuse to dress up really! I always dress up as a witch, not in one of these revealing costumes that people wear to parties, but in a black dress with tights and hat haha!

10) Do you go trick or treating, if so what are you planning on dressing up as this year?
I don't go properly trick or treating, but we take our next  door neighbours little girl around our road to the neighbours hehe! She is only 3-4 and last year she dressed up as Tinkerbell, and I was a witch (again) so I will probably do the same this year. I also love to paint fake injuries on myself, a bit like I did the post on the ripped nail I made, so I could do some more blog posts on that sort of thing for Halloween perhaps?

I hope you all liked the Tag, I tag anybody who wants to do it because I don't want anyone to feel left out so feel free to just do it and say I tagged you :)

With heart shaped bruises

I went shopping today with my Best friend Lily. I got some things that I have been wanting for a while so I thought I would make a little post on them! I got some false eyelashes because I just wanted to try some, there not the best but then again they were only 99p. I got a nose ring because I can finally change my piercing, Yay! Then I went to the pound shop and couldn't resist some little fudge cubes (and a dairy milk bar but hey ho!) I have also wanted a black nail polish for ages but just never got round to buying one, this one was only 99p so I thought I would try it. Then finally I got the very popular bag from Primark that is a dupe of the Zara bucket bag! It was the only one left in Primark and at first I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep it, so just in case I walked around the store clutching on to it haha!

Crystal Clouds

Crystal Clouds - Topshop

I bought this nail polish from a carboot on Sunday for a bargainous 50p! It is originally from Topshop and would cost you £6, I probably wouldn't pay this for it to be honest not because it is bad, I just wouldn't pay that much for any nail polish haha. It is a beautiful shimmery gold that looks silver under some lights. Topshop say that it is a 'Metallic' polish that is extra long lasting and fast drying. I would agree with the fast drying, but It didn't last that long on my nails (about 2 days), but then again I like to pick at it and I didn't bother with a top coat so that is probably my own fault. But overall I think this is a really pretty nail polish, and it would also go with lots of different outfits!

Toe fusion SUCCESS!

I went to the hospital today for my 6 week x-ray on my foot. As you probably know I had my big toe fused about 6 weeks ago and this was the appointment to see if it had worked. I have been walking around in my special shoe for a while now, and still couldn't put any weight onto the front of my foot (well I could but I wasn't allowed too) I had my x-ray taken and then saw the doctor, he told me I could now walk for short periods of time without the shoe on! I am so happy about this :D As I cannot explain how tricky it is getting in and out of the bath on one foot! The first thing I did when I got home is take my shoe off and go on a walk around my bedroom haha. It still feels very strange to walk on it, and I can't help but walk on the outside edge of my foot,  a habit I need to now break. I will still have to wear the shoe when walking around outside and walking long distances, but I am still so happy for my foot to touch the grand after 6 weeks!

I also get my GCSE results tomorrow, so fingers crossed I have done ok and not failed maths hehe!

A few little buys

 I bought this lovely lilac nail polish the other day, it is in the shade 'lucky lilac' and is by No7. I'm sure you all know about the boots No7 vouchers that give you £5 off, so I used this to buy my nail polish which made it only £2, bargainous! It's a beautiful colour and comes out exactly the same as it appears on the bottle (I hate it when they look a really nice colour in the bottle, but when you use it it's completely different), the only thing I would say is that the brush is quite big for my short and stubby nails, but if you have long nails then I guess you would have no problem there. I have been trying to grow mine and they did get quite long, but then whilst at Disneyland I caught one and it ripped, so I then decided they were just annoying me and bit them all off! (regretting it now)
 Gold bangles from H&M - £3.99
 I love these silver feather earring and have been eyeing them up in H&M for a while and I finally caved and bought them. They were £2.99, but after seeing similar ones all over tumblr I really wanted some.
 
This yin and yang t-shirt was also from (guess where?) yep you guessed it.... H&M! It was something I have wanted for a while but never actually bought it. It was £7.99 and I really like it, however the material is very thin, but I think it's supposed to be like that.

I also just thought I would mention that next Monday I will be having an operation on my big toe (lol) and I'm not supposed to put any weight on it for 2 weeks, so expect a lot of blog posts as I'm probably going to be quite bored indoors, but anyway after grossing you all out I'm off to make my lunch now (cous-cous and chopped veg, I think my diets going well, I even turned down a McDonald's breakfast SHOCK HORROR!)
