Okay, so now you know a little about me, let's get down to what my blog is really about.
Beauty and Fashion.
Last week a went to The Big Apple, The City That Never Sleeps, The City, Hong Kong on the Hudson, NYC, New York, whatever you want to call it, I went there. And I suppose you could say I did a tiny bit of damage in the shops...
Now before all of you get so offended and annoyed, I am NOT bragging in any way at all, I merely just wanted to share with you what I bought on holiday. Most of the items shown are ones that I have seen in beauty guru's videos and wanted for ages, so finally when I visited the USA I was in heaven and bought as many of the things I've been dreaming of :D oh and also, I'm not sponsored by any companies (haha I wish) :')
American Apparel
-Tennis Skirt $54
-Bow $10
-Lipgloss -free with purchase
I know we have American Apparel here in the UK, but unfortunately, none close to where I live, so when I came across a store in Soho, Manhattan, I HAD to go in. Everything there was to die for, and I wanted everything I tried on, however, it was nearing the end of the day, and my parents were getting tired and impatient, so I didn't have as much time as I wanted in there :'( I felt like I had found a shop that was my style, and had clothes that I genuinely love, instead of clothes that everyone else likes, which don't really suit me or my personality (like New Look, which is a very popular store within my school, and if there's one thing that you have that you like from there, chances are, lots of others have the exact same thing, and I don't like that), however, New Look is a lot cheaper than the shops that I do like, so thats sad:(The two items I purchased were ones that I had wanted for literally ages! The tennis skirt is soo pretty and different, but is also quite short and flawy, so not to be worn on a breezy night (I learned this the hard way..)
Of course, the bow is beautiful and can be worn in so many ways. You can place it on top of a ponytail, a messy bun, a side plait or a half-up half-down style, and it looks perfect whichever way you wear it, and for any occasion (except swimming, that would be silly).
Hollister
-Leather Jacket -$69.95
I've wanted a black leather jacket for the longest time now, and a few shops before Hollister, I went into Tommy Hilfiger and tried one on, but it just didn't look right (and was around $400, so nah). But when I found this one, it was perfect, and so much cheaper than the other one I'd seen :')
Sephora
-Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Fundation $38
I have no words for this, its just amazing, so natural looking, light, but with good coverage, best foundation I own, and thoroughly recommend it!
CVS
-Covergirl Clean Normal Skin Foundation $7.99-Nyx Rouge Cream Blush - Boho Chic $4.99
-Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil - Milk $4.49
-Nyx Butter Gloss - Peaches and Cream $5.99
-EOS (x3) -about $3.99
- Sweet Mint
- HoneySuckle HoneyDew
- Vanilla Mint
I'll only write a bit about each of these as have probably bored you all to sleep with the long American Apparel description:')
The Covergirl powder seems really good so far, but have only tried it once. It seems to last a while, isn't too cakey, and gives a good amount of coverage, but the smell is horrible! Will not be using this early in the morning or if I'm feeling ill:')
The Nyx blush is so nice, and quite sheer, but gives the perfect amount of colour to cheeks or a subtle, everyday look.
The Jumbo Eye Pencil is easily blendable and perfect for the inner corners
The Lip Butter is so lovely, gives off a good amount of colour but isn't too noticeable on the lips, perfect for every day. However, it is quite sticky so the night I wore it, my hair kept getting stuck to it :/
Brandy Melville
-Bruna Shorts $30
-Natalia Top $18
-Sheer Ankle Socks (lost price tag but $13 I think?)
Brandy Melville is one of my all time favourite shops, I think it suits my style perfectly. Everything there is so cue, and I just wish there were more stores in the UK. The Bruna shorts are like pyjamas, so comfy and cute! I purchased them because walking around Manhattan in the boiling sun all day in black skinny jeans is not great, I'm sure my legs were burning through the material! Anyway, I was practically dying wearing them, so needed to give my legs a little breather:') (plus it was the perfect excuse to buy more Brandy)
The top was bought for sorta the same reasons, it seemed like a perfect all-seasons top. You can wear it in the summer, because its so loose, and you can also wear it in winter with a cardigan or jacket over it and jeans.
The socks are just so sweet and pretty I couldn't resist, and a girl can never have too many socks right?;)

Don't have much to say about this, other than IT'S SO PRETTY, and was also a little spoilt maybe in this shop, was NOT expecting this, but yano, not complaining;)
