Divergent review

HOLA!

As it is the Easter holidays (finally) myself and one of my oldest best friends went to the cinema to see Divergent and well... IT IS SIMPLY FANTASTIC. I had been told 'It's like the Hunger Games' which instantly made me want to see it because you all know how much I love the Hunger Games and it did not fail my expectations.

I wouldn't say it's exactly like the Hunger Games but it's an action-romance. Apart from that it is very different. I loved it because I understood the film straight away, I have never read the book so I didn't know what it was about at all, but the storyline was very clear straight away.

It's about a town where the people are split into five sections: Amity (peaceful), Candor (truthful), Erudite (intelligent), Abnegation (selfless) and finally Dauntless (brave). When the children reach 16 they take a test to see which 'faction' they fit into and then they choose which one they want to be in. Then they live the rest of their life in that faction, seems simple enough. However Beatrice/Tris (played by Shailene Woodley) is divergent. This means she doesn't fit into any faction and that the government can't control them because they have independent thoughts. So this is seen as a threat and the government want to get rid of them. So which faction does Beatrice choose? Do they know she is a divergent? Does she survive? (I don't want to give anything away that's why I am being very vague.)

However what I will say is that Beatrice falls in love with 'Four/Tobias' who is played by Theo James and he is GORGEOUS. As soon as he came on the screen my friend and I looked at each other and we gave each other 'the look' (girls you know what I mean). Triss is played by Shailene Woodley (who is playing Hazel in TFIOS eep!) and she is such a talented actress. I think they both did they role justice and they couldn't have picked better actors for the roles.

After watching the film it makes me want to be a better person. It has taught me to take risks and never ever back down if I fail. 'In order to be brave I have to be selfless but in order to be selfless I have to be brave'. 

I am definitely going to read the books now and I couldn't recommend the film enough! Please please please pleaseeeeee watch it, it is definitely worth it.

Zara Perfume

HOLA!

I am so sorry I haven't posted in about 3 weeks but I have had mocks (yay) and I just haven't found the time but enough of that, lets get on with the blog!

I have and always will be a fan of the Zara perfumes because they are so cheap yet they smell so expensive. A lot of people are sometimes 'materialistic' about perfumes because I find they usually go for the big names like Marc Jacobs, Chanel or Dior. Don't get me wrong they are gorgeous perfumes but I don't want to spend £50 on a perfume that will run out anyway. SO while I was browsing in Zara I had a quick look at the perfumes and my life changed. I found my true love. Who could resist an amazing smelling perfume fo just £10? Well... not me! So I decided to buy the Floral scent which is just swell.

I recently ran out of the 'Floral' scent so I needed a new one. After having a mighty good sniff of them all I opted for 'Applejuice' AND IT SMELLS LIKE RAINBOWS AND PONIES AND CAKE AND ALL GOOD IN THE WORLD.  It doesn't actually smell like that but it's delicious, I never thought I would describe a smell as delicious but this is. I love fresh, light smells and this definitely is. I can't really describe it but it does kind of smell like applejuice but definitely not in a bad way. It's so fruity and nice and I love it.

So if you next want a new perfume have look in Zara they are such a good price (maximum £15 I think) and smell wonderful.

February Fashion Favourites!

HOLA!

As it is coming to the end of the fabulous month February I thought hmm what blog shall I do? What can it be about? And then I thought *light bulb tings* I should do my fashion favourites of the month! I have one outfit that I loved wearing and I also loved wearing these pieces individually with other clothes. 

I would just like to thank my lovely friend Emily ( E Sloth) for her photography. Here is a link to her blog, which I very much recommend because she does the best blogs EVER!  http://thewalkingemily.blogspot.co.uk/

I wore this outfit when Emily and I went to be reunited with our best friend ever Hannah. I chose this because it's such a simple and COMFY and I love everything in the look. 

My top is from Topshop (obviously). It's the Gingham Jacquard Tee. I love love love crop tops with high waisted jeans, they are a match made in heaven and this top is not too crop and is the perfect fit. I am normally a size 8 top and bottom however I find that crop tops come up a bit on the short side and I have to opt for the bigger size but the size 8 fits perfectly.

I wore the MOTO Baby Blue Mom Jeans from again Topshop- shamefully puts hand over face. I love these jeans because they are super comfy and they go with anything ALTHOUGH after a few wears the waist seemed to stretch so I had to get a belt, I don't know if this was just my pair but I thought I should warn y'all. As well they are getting a bit baggy around my leg however I quite like it because I am constantly wearing skinny trousers and I get a bit self concious because I have the universe's ugliest legs so these hide my legs a bit which is good and they are different to my other jeans/trousers!

My jacket is from Zara, NOT Topshop shocked! I'm sorry but I got it last year and it's not on the website any more and I can't find it anywhere, sorry! I do love this jacket because I was desperate for a leather jacket but every one that I would see was exactly the same to the other ones and I didn't just want a normal leather jacket but I found this quilted one in Zara and it was love at first sight! It is also surprisingly warm which was an added bonus.

I am wearing my very grubby but beloved pair of white converse. I desperately need a new pair of converse to replace these because they are embarrassingly dirty but I'm very indecisive about which pair to get urgh. If you don't have a pair of converse please go down to your nearest shoe shop or shop that sell converse because they are so comfy, stylish and will never go out of fashion.

You probably can't see it but I am wearing a ring. I know I know I'm actually wearing jewellery. I have been dying to buy a ring but there were none that really caught my eye so I ventured down to the Pandora shop and had a browse. I really didn't think I was going to buy only because I didn't want to spend that much money BUT I saw this ring and I just had to buy it. It's the December Birthstone Ring  and yes yes I am born in December, Decemeber 11th everyone put it in your diaries. I have worn this ring all the time and am in love with this.

Finally my bag is from Zara, again I got it last year so can't find the link sowwwy. I use this every day for school and on the weekends and just love it- it's the perfect size for school and normal use and it's very sturdy, it could be a very good weapon honestly it's lethal!

Okay I really didn't think this blog would be this long gee wiz!

Bucket List: Fashion Items

HOLA!

Like any teenager girl there are fashion items that we have always longed to have but they are just too expensive and fancy pants for us at this age. I have 3 items that I have always (well not always but for a very long time) wanted to own. *Just saying that I will never own any of them but it's nice to dream isn't it?*

My first item is a Celine bag. Every time I see any celebrity wearing one I can't help but wish I had it. Kylie Jenner wears them ALL the time and I just love them. My favourite one is the small bag (I'm not too sure of the name) because it is the perfect size to fit everything you need- not too big not too small. 

How amazing is it! If I did ever purchase one I think I'd go for the orange. I know it sounds crazy and weird but I think it's a perfect way to add of pop of colour into your wardrobe.

My second item are these AMAZING boots from Chanel. 

I would like to thank Billie Faiers for me discovering these because she tweeted this picture of them and I fell in love with them. They are a classic black boot with the Chanel logo engraved on the inside of the heel. Thia boot with never go out of fashion! As soon as I saw them I went straight onto the Chanel website to see what the price was. I always knew they were going to be expensive and I was never going to buy but I just wanted to know. Anyway they are £700!! Yes £700 what a bargain JOKES but just appreciate how beautiful they are!

My third and final item is the Burberry Check Cashmere Scarf 

I just think this is such a classic. It's so beautiful and will always look gorgeous in any outfit, I have longed to have one for so so long I do really want one HOWEVER now that this print is in style you can get a dupe from any shop so YAYYY I might not have the real thing but at least it's close!

Thankyou for reading

Style Icon: Perrie Edwards

HOLA!
My third and final style icon is Perrie Edwards. As a lot of you will know Perrie is a member of the beautiful girl band Little Mix and Little Mix are all drop dead gorgeous and have drop dead gorgeous style's, however you have to have a favourite and mine is Perrie! I love Perrie's style because she loves wearing pastel's however she love's to rock it up a bit and wear 'rockier' clothes.

My top five Perrie Edwards outfits!
1.

This is a perfect example of her pastel/rocky style. Perrie is wearing these Joni jeans from Topshop (which I must say everyone has to have a pair because they are so comfy) a beautiful bralet and then to jazz it up she is wearing a GORGEOUS grey coat with leather sleeves and a black hat to complete it! This outfit is just so god damn beautiful.

2.

I also love this normal every day outfit she wore when she went shopping with her mum. Perrie is wearing some Topshop Jeans, black vans, a white cami and a lovely black bag with some large metallic looking sunglasses. So simple yet so perfect!

3.

I am 100% in love with this outfit and will DEFO try and re create something like this in the summer, I love the simplicity of the white dress but the accessories play a key part in the outfit. I love the large statement sandals- the perfect summer outfit! And of course Jesy, Leigh Anne and Jade look stunning too.

4.

I also love this outfit she wore on Good Morning America. It's a very pretty and preppy outfit. Perrie is wearing a coral bralet with a wonderful bluey purpley floral skirt. You can definitely tell her style icon Kelly Kapowski from Saved By the Bell influenced her outfit!

5.

My final favourite outfit of Perrie's is this. It doesn't look anything special but I love the camouflage jacket around her waist and I ADORE he sunglasses. How dang cute are they? This is a very simple outfit so you could re create something like it with things you already have in your wardrobe! Perrie looks perfect in anything and everything.

That's it, this is my very last style icon of the trilogy! *cry face* I really hope you enjoyed it  because I definitely enjoyed doing them! It's nice for you to see where and who I get my fashion inspiration from! Comment below telling me a few of your fashion icons, I would love to see them.

Thank you for reading

Style Icon:Vanessa Hudgens

HOLA!
So my second 'style icon' is ...(drum roll please)... Vanessa Hudgens! A majority of you will know the lovely Vanessa Hudgens from my all time favourite musical/disney trilogy High School Musical. However aside from being the wonderful Gabriella Montez Vanessa actually has a normal life and fashion sense (wow who would have thought?!) and Vanessa's fashion sense is simply that nice she just had to be an icon of mine.

My top five Vanessa Hudgens outfits!
1.

I love this outfit because it is so casual but the heels just make it so classy. Vanessa has paired some plain jeans (rolled up at the bottom) with a plain grey top and a parka. To make the outfit even more 'smarter' she added a long gold necklace with a large medallion and a black hat. What's not to love!!

2.

I think white suits Vanessa perfectly because she has the right skin tone for it, I'm so so pale so when I wear white I look like a ghost, but Vanessa looks wonderful. To add a pop of colour she added a large black bag and some beautiful nude heels. Vanessa teamed the look with an 'au natural' make-up look.

3.

I love Vanessa's boho fashion sense that she wears to festivals. Vanessa looked particularly lovely in this outfit. She just paired some plain denim shorts with a beautifully detailed top that fits her figure perfectly. In this outfit Vanessa made it even more 'Boho-y' with the accessories. I so wish I was old enough to go to festivals so I could wear this!

4. 

Once again Vanessa is wearing white and looks fabulous. Instead of wearing 'Little Black Dresses' I think Vanessa suits 'Little White Dresses' better! All of the white flowy dresses compliment Vanessa's hair colour perfectly. In the first picture I love it how she added a black leather headband to spice up the outfit, in the second outfit she brought out her boho side and finally in the third outfit she has gone for quite a classy look by keeping it quite simple but the eye makeup it quite dramatic.

5. 

The fifth and final look I love of Vanessa is...

I love love love love love this outfit- I want to marry that crop top! The skirt matches the top perfectly and then the shoes just make the outfit all fit together and I love how Vanessa has added a dramatic lip to add some sparkle to the outfit!

Phew that was a lot! Join in next week for my final 'Style Icon' blog, I wonder who it will be?
Thankyou for reading

Style Icon: Kylie Jenner

HOLA!
Firstly I can't believe it is nearly the end of January oh my goodness where has the month gone? Someone please tell me. Secondly I have decided that I am going to do a 'Style Icon' series for the next three weeks! Lets commence...
I have always been a fan of the Kardahians/Jenners style however I have always loved Kylie Jenner's style the best. I love how it can be girly and pretty but grungy at the same time. Another thing I love about her style is that she shops at high street stores like Topshop so you can afford it and buy it as well I am only a year younger than Kylie (gasp) so a majority of her clothing is age appropriate so it would inspire me to buy something like it!

My Top Five Kylie Jenner Outifits!: 
1.

This is probably my all time favourite outfit of hers and to be honest with you all I don't even know why I JUST LOVE IT. BREAKING NEWS I HAVE FOUND THE SKIRT AND IT IS ON SALE FOR £7 OMG. Kylies beautiful skirt  is from Topshop (yay) and is on sale for only £7!! Darn it's out of stock,cry cry. But I just love the simplicity of the outfit yet she looks so sophisticated it's my perfect outfit. To create the look she added a statement handbag. You can get a bag just like it from Topshop (again) for £30 and finally you can get her grey crop top from pretty much anywhere! Am I the only one who is still obsessing that the skirt is only £7?

2.

This is pretty much a normal everyday outfit so why do I love it so much? Please someone tell me. I just love everything about it, it's all so simple! Kylies wearing these Topshop shorts, a beige cardigan, a plain grey vest, plain black boots and of course her beloved black Celine bag. In the summer I will definitely be 'recreating' this look!

3.

I adore what Kylie wore to the MTV music awards, I swear Kylie could wear a bin bag but still look incredible. Kylie wore a plain white crop top, a nude bodycon skirt with matching nude heels and to make her outfit a bit edgier she added a big chunky necklace and some bracelets. I love how her outfit was simple but she made the accessories add a pop of colour and used that as the main attraction of her outfit! 

4.

I love this outfit because Kylie looks so sophisticated and smart but she has done it in such a casual way. All Kylie has done is pair a plain white t-shirt with pastel blue jeans and added a black Chanel bag with the most beautiful black heels! That's it, yet she still looks magnificent. How does she do that?

5. 

My fifth and final favourite outfit of hers is what she wore while she was doing some errands. Kylie looks quite 'boho' with the flare floral trousers and sandals yet adding her 'edgier' side with the grey top, black celine bag and sunglasses. I also love her accessories she has added to finish the look. I tried some trousers like these on last year and they just looked horrendous, it baffles me how Kylie can look this amazing while putting in no effort!

Anyway that's the end of the blog! I hope you liked it and if anyone is kind enough to give me Kylie's looks and wardrobe for a day I would very kindly accept!

See ya next week

Lots of love

Bucket List:Venice

HOLA!
As I said in my last 'Bucket List' blog post that I would make one monthly. That kind of failed (really failed) so I thought that I shall officially start in now. So let's commence...
When I was about 7 I went to Rome with my family and fell in love with Italy. I loved the food (obviously), the people, everything and ever since I have always wanted to go back to Italy and Venice is exactly where I want to go. I would love to spend a 'long' weekend there.

Venice looks beautiful, imagine rowing down the canal in a gondola in day time with the sun beaming down on you- in my opinion it sounds like bliss. I'm not the biggest fan of the sun, whenever I'm on holiday I never ever sunbathe because I just get so bored and I am a bit obsessed with sun cream and since I'm so pale burning is my worst nightmare. However my cousins went to Venice and said that the excitement of everything you barely noticed the heat WHICH IS AN ADDED BONUS.

My fam (aren't I gangsta) also said that the atmosphere of it all is amazing, everyone is rushing around yet it's not too hectic and you still feel like your on holiday. As well if you LOVE shopping apparently Venice is surrounded with all of the best high-street and designer stores. 

One thing that I can guarantee that will be amazing is the FOOD because did Italy or did it not create the best two foods ever: PIZZA AND PASTA. Venice is known as being a fish kind of city and I'm not a big fan of fish but I can play it safe with the pizza and pasta I'M NOT COMPLAINING. 



How incredible would it be waking up each morning and opening your windows to that view! It's simply fantabulous. 

I think that's it for now. If you would anymore information about Venice, go to http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/italy/venice/ it's perfect!

Bumble and Bumble review

HOLA!
I have always been more of a hair person than make up so I spend more money on my shampoo and conditioner or just hair 'things' than maybe lipsitck or something. At my hairdressers they just use Bumble and Bumble products and I love my hair each time I come out the hairdressers and I think it's not only because of the cut I have had but because of the products they used. So for Christmas I asked for the Bumble and Bumble Seaweed Shampoo and Conditioner and the Bumble and Bumble Prep and my Grandma very kindly got me them! 

Now now everyone you may have just had a heart attack looking at the price but these are TOTALLY worth it (as well I tend to wash my hair every other day, unless I have done sport, so they last longer)! The seaweed shampoo and conditioner is specifically for people who wash their hair nearly everyday or frequently but I think it's fabulous as a normal shampoo and conditioner. I think that it makes your hair soft, silky and it always feels fresh- don't be put off by the seaweed part! However it doesn't make your hair too soft if that makes sense? Me being the weird person I am I really don't like it when my hair is too soft because I think it has no volume and goes greasier easier and the Seaweed duo does exactly what I want in a shampoo. As well with the conditioner, because you use a small amount, you feel like its not doing anything  to your hair or you haven't put any on but I leave my conditioner in for about 3 minutes and then wash it out your hair feels SO smooth instantly!

I also recommend the prep because I think it's an all rounder. I spray mine all over my hair (I do have to comment on how powerful the pump is it's like your in a rainforest gee!) before I am about to dry it. Bumble and Bumble recommend to do this before you style your hair so you would use it before straightening, curling, drying, adding heat. I think that the prep protects your hair from any styling equipment or products you are about to use. It also detangles your hair, bonus!!

So overall if you have the spare money or if you want a reliable hair product that will fix your hair, volumise, de frizz go to Bumble and Bumble because they have every hair product you could think of and they ALWAYS do what it says on the bottle.

The Fault In Our Stars book review!

HOLA!
Happy New Year everyone, I can't believe it is 2014 already! I'm still writing 2010 down as the date, I hope you all had a wonderful time and had a brilliant start to the year.

I have been wanting to read 'The Fault In Our Stars' for so long because John Green is my favourite author and it has had insanely good reviews , so Santa was very kind and got it me for Christmas!

As soon as I opened this I pretty much read it as soon as I could and I finished it Boxing Day, I can proudly say I was/am obsessed with it. This is probably my favourite book I have ever read because it is so emotional, positive and negative, and I feel as though Hazel and Augustus are my friends- John Green is such a beautiful author.

What I love about the book as well is that the further the story develops the more Augustus becomes a main part and the growth between Hazel and Augustus' relationship is simply wonderful to read and know about. I also loved how the romance between them both wasn't your normal romance that you know. They both go through so much together yet it doesn't tear them apart, it's lovely.

SPOILER ALERT, DON'T READ IF YOU HAVE READ THE BOOK, GO DOWN BELOW TO CARRY ON
Now now everyone gather round I think I have sussed something out. You know how Hazel and Augustus go to Amsterdam to find out more about what happened next in 'An Imperial Affliction' by Peter Van Houten because they felt as though the story didn't have a proper ending well I think that John Green is Peter Van Houten in the book. You are all probably thinking what are you crazy? But just hear me out. You know how Gus and Hazel say that 'AIA' has no real ending and it stops because the girl either dies or becomes too ill and they have so many questions about each character, don't you think that TFIOS is like that? It has no real ending- it ends because Gus dies, you don't know if Hazel dies or if she lives longer, you don't know if Gus' mum and dad are still together, you don't know if Hazel's mum and dad split up if she dies. We have so many unanswered questions, just like they do in AIA. It's just a thought!

IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT READ FROM HERE  
Now I don't want to bore you all with my rambling because I could honestly talk about the book for years so I think I should end here. All I can say is if you get the chance to read The Fault In Our Stars (or any of John Green's books) DO!! As well the film is coming out this year so go and watch that and then read the book maybe?! I am SO excited for the film!! SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ THE BOOK.

Christmas sales are any girls dreams and a perfect way for you to spend your Christmas money! I shall be telling you the best places to go for the sale and the best things to buy. So first up on the SALE EXTRAVAGANZA is (drum roll is very much suitable at this present moment of time).

NEW LOOK
Now everyone I'm about to tell you something very exciting, please don't scream too much okay? New Look has 60& off I repeat 60% off, yes the rumours are true!! After browsing on their website for a minutes I have been out my two favourite pieces. The first one I saw instantly and fell in love with it straight away, it's the Purple Velvet Strappy Swing Dress. I love this because it's so versatile- you could wear it in the winter with black tights, boots and a leather/denim jacket and then you could wear it in the summer with some converses, plus it's only £10 what a bargain! The other thing I spotted was the Burgundy Sateen Double Tier Cami (yes I realise it's purple YET AGAIN but who can resist). I really like this because it's different to your average cami- it's tiered OOO. I think it's so simple yet so perfect for any outfit! Also it's only £7, what only £7? Yes only £7, again... what a bargain.

MISS SELFRIDGE
WOWEE up to 70% off at Miss Selfridge, they are spoiling us aren't they! Now I love MOM jeans because they are so damn comfy. These ones from Miss Selfridge are only £20! Mid Wash Mom Fit Jeans I think MOM jeans look the best with a crop top and hi top converse but they are just SO comfy- everyone needs a pair!

TOPSHOP
Topshop have also been spoiling us rotten with a 50% off sale as well! Grey Marl Quilted Zip Pelmet Skirt if this skirt was a person I think I would marry it. I have this and it is so comfy, goes with everything and is such a nice material. I bought it full price which is £34 but now it's only £20, you lucky devils! It's so nice- I'm wearing it for new years eve and so excited to wear it (how sad is that). I am desperate for a boyfriend coat and this one from Topshop is gorgeous if you want to add a pop of colour into your wardrobe. Popper Front Boyfriend Coat and how can you say no because it's only £25! I think boyfriends coats are an easy way to keep you warm yet stay stylish.

That's it! Phew that's a lot of information to take in but do go and have a wonder in any shop I'm sure there are gorgeous things in the sale anywhere-these are only a few of my favourites!

New Years Eve Outfits!

HOLA!
Well hello everyone, it's been a while. I have something to say... I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T BLOGGED A LOT BECAUSE I SAID I WOULD IT'S JUST I'VE BEEN BUSY AND ILL AND THEY ARE BOTH NOT A VERY GOOD COMBINATION SO I HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME TO BLOG I'M SORRY DON'T HATE ME.

Okay now that's off my chest now I can carry on as normal. As you probably know 2014 is two weeks away (honestly where an earth has this year gone I'm still writing the date as 2010) I thought I should do a new years eve outfit post for those of you who don't know what to wear but still want to sparkle and shine I thought I may give you a helping hand. SO LET'S CONTINUE.

For the 'I want to look FAB U LOUS' gals
This dress will defo turn everyone's heads towards you when you enter the room. Whoever you are you will own this dress, it's gorgeous.
 
Motel Discotheque Dress in Burgundy Sequin. This dress comes in several different colours and they are all lovely. I think this would look beautiful paired with a pair of black boots, personally I would wear my black chelsea boots with them because they are super comfy and go with anything. This is a must have for new years eve because new years is the prefect chance to wear a super sparkly dress and look fabulous.

For the 'Smart casual' girl
These trousers are the definition of party in the front, business in the back. Moto Faux Leather Fronted Leigh Jeans. I'm sorry there is not pictures but I just spent the last half an hour trying to manage how to paste it but the pictures simply won't #kanyenot. ANYWAY they are basically Topshop leigh jeans that are faux leather at the front but normal black leigh jeans at the back-has the lord answered my prayers these are wicked. 
For the top half of my body- as we aren't coming half naked would be...

YAY it pasted! This is the Pink Raglan Sleeve T-Shirt I have this top and I love it! It is such a beautiful pink and it looks gorgeous with anything so it would be perfect for the smart casual look, beware though the neck line is quite low so if you 'aren't very developed in that area' get the smaller size than you would normally buy. For shoes again I would wear my plain black chelsea boots but you could pretty much wear this with any shoes some nice heels, boots or even converse!

Thankyou for reading and join in next week (I will actually post next week I promise)
Lots of Love

Christmas ideas for HER

Hola!

I thought as it is December (birthday month AND Christmas month!) why not start a little series where each week I shall be talking about present ideas whether it's for you brother,sister,mum,dad. anyone! This weeks shall be for women. 

Make-Up

This category shall focus on the make-up crazy girls!

My first product is the benefit 'Matthew Williamson: the rich is back' beauty kit. Benefit have gorgeous products but with this kit they have really put the very best products they have in there. It includes: eyeshadow palette, they're real! mascara (my all time favourite mascara), gimme fever cheek powder and brush and finally a lip gloss in inferno. This fabulous kit comes in at a grand total of £26.50 which if you ask me is a bargain because the they're real! mascara is £19.50 individually! Whoever recieves this is a lucky girl because benefit's products never ever fail to impress.

My second product is Mac eyeshadow and eyeshadow palette. The reason I havn't specified any colour s is because everyone is different and everyone likes different colours to wear but if I was choosing I would choose a Pro palette eye shadow x 4 (£6.50) and the colours I would put inside would be Woodwinked, Swiss Chocolate, Nylon and Shroom. However every Mac eyeshadow is amazing, they are all very blendable and you can wear them with anything. Each eyeshadow to put in the palette costs £10. I think this would be a lovely present because it is very thoughtful and no matter if you like make up or not every girl would love it.

Beauty

There is only one place I go to for beauty products and that is Cath Kidston because Cath Kidston is so consistent with any beauty product and anyone any age would love to open something Cath Kidston for Christmas. However my two favourite beauty products from there at the moment are the Spot Cosmetic Bag £12 and the Rose Hand Care Kit £10. The reason I have chosen these two products is because Cath Kidston's cosmetic bags are fantabulous because they are the perfect size for all your make up essentials (and more!) and they last forever and always look classy, stylish and everyone always comments only nice things about them. I chose the hand care kit because Cath Kidston's hand cream is a treat for your hands because they leave them so soft and I always get really bad chapped skin on my hands in the winter and the hand cream's fix them perfectly!

Fashion

Everyone has different fashion tastes but I have found one staple item that I think every teenager will love! It's the Oversized Tartan Shirt ,£38, from Topshop. I think this will be the perfect present for anyone because they go with everything and everyone needs one! As well they are super comfy and you can dress it up or down.

This next item is mainly aimed at what my mum would like but I think any mum would like it too! It's the Vertical Striped Scarf from FCUK. It is £35 which is a little pricey for a scarf but it is Christmas and it is a lovely present. I think this will make any mum happy because it such a lovely scarf and will look beautiful with anything.

I think that's it! I hope you have either found something that you shall give as a present or found something that has inspired you with lots of ideas! Next week I shall be doing Christmas ideas for HIM but obviously there will be different categories.

Thankyou for reading

Lots of Love

Hunger Games:Catching Fire Film and Premiere review

OMG today I went to see Catching Fire and it is definitely the best film I have seen at the cinema the past year. It was so so so intense and I was hooked as soon as it started.
It usually takes me a while before I know if I like the film or not but with Catching Fire I loved it instantly. I had only seen the first one of the trilogy a few months ago so I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this one because I wasn't a massive fan, I have also never read any of the books. I had seen the trailer for Catching Fire and if I'm honest with you I didn't really like it but I still went and watched and I am so happy I did. As I said before it is intense and addictive but it also very emotional and I really think Josh Hutcherson and Jennifer Lawrence play Peeta and Katniss perfectly.

DON'T READ THIS BIT IF YOU HAVN'T SEEN THE MOVIE YET(carry on reading just below)
I would have to say my favourite part of the film was when Peeta died and Finnick brought him back to life because during this scene you could really see how much Katniss loved him (as a friend or even more). You could just tell by her voice how much she wanted him to come back to life AND HE DID MAY I ADD. And once he did it was wonderful to see their friendship. This was one of the many times I had tears in my eyes. Another one of my favourite parts was when Katniss was wearing the wedding dress and she span and BOOM she is a mocking jay, her fashion desginer really is a wizard.

FOR THOSE WHO HAVN'T SEEN IT CARRY ON READING FROM HERE 
When I first found out it was 146 minutes long I honestly had no idea how I would be able to sit for that long, concentrate for that long and in all honesty I thought I was going to have to take a banquet with me because I am ALWAYS hungry. To make sure I was never hungry I bought the biggest box of Maltesers I could (I love maltesers) and guess what, the film was so captivating I completely forgot about them. The ending however was so frustrating- not that it's a bad ending but because of how it ends. It ends with the most biggest cliffhanger ever! Definitely another reason to watch Mocking Jay. Overall if you havn't seen Catching Fire you HAVE to it is amazing. It is directed and acted beautifully and is simply phenomenal. (OOO big word)

I would say the thing that started to get me excited was the premiere. I didn't watch the premiere in London or New York but I saw the pictures afterwards and I must take my hat off to the actors, actresses and fellow celebrities because they all looked lovely. At the London premiere Jennifer showed of her new 'do' for the first ever time and I think it makes her look even more elegant. I think my favourite Jennifer look was at the Catching Fire premiere in Rome.

Jennifer wore a Fall 2013 Dior Couture gown and teamed it with a pair of gold heels. Lawrence kept her make up quite subtle and recreated the same hair as she wore to the Oscars.

16 year old Kylie Jenner also walked the carpet at the LA premiere and she looked wonderful. I really like Kylie's style in general but I especially liked her outfit at the premiere.

Kylie wore a simple grey dress with a square neckline and she added a a simple black clutch and black boots to finish the outfit. I love how Kylie looked classy yet youthful. Finally her make up was quite gothic with a reddy-browmy lip and like usual Kylie wore her normal eye make up which consists of simply mascara, winged eye liner and maybe a naked coloured eye shadow.

Thankyou for reading I will be making my posts weekly now rather than monthly so tune in next week for maybe another review or just a random post!

Autumn Fashion

HOLA!

I do send my dearest apologies to you all because I have been a bad person, I haven't blogged in ages! The embarrassment I have. SO to make it up to you all I will make (try to make) a super doper wooper good blog.

Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE autumn and winter. I just can’t be dealing with this hot weather in summer- ain’t nobody got time for dat. And I mainly love autumn and winter because of the weather and I also love it because of the fashion. Who doesn't love big thick jumpers and winter coats? So I thought ooo I know lets do a little ‘Autumn Fashion Blog’. Anyway enough babbling let me commence…

I have been looking EVERYWHERE I mean EVERYWHERE for a winter coat. I’ve looked in New Look, Zara, River Island, H&M the list is endless but I found my true love in Topshop. I’ve never really owned a ‘proper’ winter coat and I wanted a parka with fur- quite simple and basic. But I had a specific one in mind and I happened to find it in Topshop. I bought this one- 

http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/clothing-427/jackets-coats-2390889/borg-lined-parka-jacket-2123323?bi=1&ps=20

Yes it is very pricey and more than I was looking to spend. But I wanted one that will last long and one that I will wear everywhere. I do understand that it is a lot of money and not everyone will be willing to spend that  much so I have found a duplicate in New Look that is cheaper. 

http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/jackets-and-coats/khaki-fur-trim-hooded-parka_288105934

You’re all probably thinking now why didn't I buy the one in New Look. Well… I didn't buy it because I thought that the one in Topshop was better material and would last me about 5 years rather 1-2!

Another thing I love love love is jumpers and am a sucker for any Christmas jumpers (yes I’ve mentioned Christmas but it’s only 57 Sleeps away YAYAYYY!) or just any jumper. I absolutely love jumpers from New Look because they are reasonably priced and so cosy and cute! However I love Topshop and Zara knitwear too. I usually buy my ‘normal’ jumpers from Topshop and my ‘festive’ ones from New Look.

However Topshop have brought out a super super cute Halloween jumper that I am defo eyeing up to buy-

http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/clothing-427/knitwear-444/knitted-pumpkin-face-jumper-2322677?bi=21&ps=20 

I mean how can you not love it! I’m not a big fan of the colour black and I don’t like wearing it but I may make an exception. I’m now looking on clothing websites and squeeling over the cuteness of the Christmas jumpers AWWWWWWWWWW.

Something that’s very autumnal are sweaters or long sleeves shirts. My first shop I go to for these essentials is Zara because Zara do them at very reasonable prices too!

http://www.zara.com/uk/en/trf/t-shirts-c269214.html I’ve just copied the link to the main page because I couldn’t pick out individuals I love, I love them all!!

These are only a few suggestions for some essentials in your autumn wardrobe so please don’t feel like you have to but them- I hate telling people what to wear because I think ‘wear what you like-don’t be influenced by other people’. Like I said these are only suggestions in case you don’t know how to kick starting your autumn wardrobe.

Anyway I best go now さようなら (that's goobye in japanese ooo how fancy am I)

Lots of Love

Bucket List:Paris

HOLA!

Or should I say bonjour?!(if you pardon the pun). I thought that each month I could do a little ‘series’ about one thing on my bucket list, so this first blog about my bucket list is going to be about the number one thing on my list- going to PARIS!

I’m not too entirely sure why I want to go to Paris so badly I guess it’s just how it's so beautiful and perfect. As well I just love how it’s so naturally beautiful and how it changes each season yet still looks mesmerizing. (Ooo good word Abbie!) I am so desperate to go to Paris that whenever I daydream I think about what I would do/where I would visit. Yes I have already planned my trip (how sad am I).

So let me tell you about my trip that hopefully one day I shall experience (DON’T JUDGE ME PLEASE). Me and my family would stay in a cute boutique hotel on the outskirts of the main part of Paris and each morning we would have breakfast at a little café near our hotel because French cuisine is simply wonderful! And then of course we would have to visit the main attractions: Eiffel Tower, Love Lock Bridge/Pont de l'Archevêché, Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe/Avenues de champs elysee! HOW EXCITING! When I go to Paris/if I ever go to Paris I would love to go in winter because then I could wear lots of layers and jumpers and who doesn’t love to layer-plus it’s super beautiful then!

I mean how can you not love it! However I feel like it's time for me to go on I just ramble and ramble I think it's worrying how much I talk sometimes. 

Au revoir 

Beaucoup d'amour (how clever am I?!)
