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.

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?

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
