OOTD | Pastel Basics |


Hey guys! Today's OOTD is really simple! I went Fabric Shopping in London and just wanted to be on trend but comfortable! I was ill yesterday so I've been feeling super gross!



I'm wearing my New H&M Jersey Dress, Found in a Charity Shop for £1 Brand New with Tags! It's a really nice peach colour, although it doesn't show well!
I wore my Topshop crop top under it (£9) which I got last year, I wish I had waited though because Primark brought in the same top for much cheaper recently!
Then on the bottom I've just got Tights (Primark) and My White Dolly shoes from ASOS! (£10 Depop)


Because of where I was going I used my Topshhop Backpack today, Found in Oxfam on Holloway for £6! LOVE.

I didn't catch a picture but with this I just wore a Cardigan and my Black leather Jacket with a Wooly scarf, It's a bit nippy out!

That's all for today, Hows your monday?

| £1 Mac Dupes! | MUA, Makeup Revolution & Primark |

Hey guys! 
I spend around 30% of my shopping trip fawning over Mac products, Don't we all? But of course It is no where near affordable (in my case at least) to spend £15.50 on a lipstick.
 £15.50 to me is a Takeaway for two at the Local Indian, or My phone bill for the month paid... soooo I instead took it apon myself to swatch my favourite shades from MAC's selection and to find some much cheaper alternatives!

One shade I seem to hear a lot about is Velvet Teddy! It's sold out virtually everywhere & all I see is selfies wearing it.. I found two perfect dupes of this Lipstick! 



The first Dupe I found was this Lip Pencil from Primark!
It was the last nude one there and (naughty) I tried it on the back on my hand only to discover it was a perfect match!


Middle Swatch: 
Bottom is Velvet Teddy, Top Swatch is the Primark Lip Pencil! Identical colours!

You'll be as excited as me to know that this Pencil is only £1! Totally awesome and affordable!




The Second Dupe I found for Velvet Teddy was this MUA Matte lipstick. As part of the Matte collection that I so already love, I couldn't turn down this Mauve almost Brown colour.


Swatched, It once again become identical to Velvet Teddy! Not only that but this winner was also £1!

Here it is on:
*excuse my dry lip situation...







After finding those, I went to see what I could find for 'Rebel' by MAC. I didn't get a picture of the Mac swatch I had because I'm a bumhole... buuuuut I did find an excellent and slightly obvious Dupe!


This is Makeup Revolutions 'Rebel With Cause' and is obviously a alternative thanks to it's name! It's a gorgeous Dark fuchsia purple & has a slight iridescence it it!


Just like the previous two, This lipstick is only £1! RIGHT ON.

Here it is on:




Okay, so that's all I could find this time round! Being as successful as I was I'm definitely going to look for a few others too!

What's your best MAC dupe?

OOTD | The Vintage Flares |

Hey Lovelies! 
I'm back this Monday with a very on Trend OOTD for you! Unless you've been hiding under a rock you may have noticed that SS15 is HIGHLY influenced by the 1970's! 
I'm really loving this trend as it means I get to raid my mums wardrobe for all of her vintage accessories! 


I thought i'd focus on some Denim Flares today, they're everywhere from the catwalk to celebrities & I managed to bag myself this pair for only £1.50!
Yet another cracking charity shop find you'll agree, They were a Size 16 but using my whizzy seamstress skills they were a Size 6 in ten minutes!
Don't be dismayed to leave something behind because it's not your size, alterations can easily be made!




Paired with my flares, I put on my Striped top from H&M. I love this top it's a staple, I love anything with stripes on! 

I've also Popped on some black platforms from Primark too, for a bit of height as I'm a mini person! 


I'm wearing my Mum's Vintage Faux Snakeskin belt from Biba. (Swoooooooon)

I love this belt i've been nicking it since I was 13 haha!


My wide-brimmed Trilby hat is from Topshop! I'm lucky that my Sister let me have this one.. It's wonderful and I would never of been able to afford it! Anyone else love Topshop but won't buy anything unless it's in the sale? haha!


Hat closeup! Also new Fringe-ness! I love it, I've had two people tell me I look like Suki Waterhouse! SUCH COMPLIMENT. 

That's all for today! What bargains have you picked up from Charity Shopping that's on trend this season?
