Not just another beauty blog...

Tag: Topshop

As with most other fashion and beauty bloggers (and the rest of the public in general) I am a huge fan of the fashion that Topshop has to offer, and something that I find myself doing far too often is trawling through their website looking at things that I love but just Should.Not.Buy. Everyone loves a bit of (theoretical) window shopping though, yes? Thought so! With that in mind, here are a few pieces I've found that are sure to get your fashionable hearts racing, enjoy!

Deer Print; Dip-dye; Earth Printed


Poppy Print; Pink Speckled; Peplum Frill









Sunglasses; Ring; Collar Necklace




Thanks for reading, I hope some of the pieces were to your liking :) Hope you have a great Friday and are looking forward to a wonderful weekend. Au revoir for now and speak again soon!

I always love reading and looking at posts where people use one piece of clothing but make two different looks so I thought I'd do one with this dress that I am loving from Next right now. It's always nice to really highlight one key piece of an outfit and let it stand out and shine, and something like this tea dress is perfect. 


Look One
Denim shirt £85: Denim and Supply Ralph Lauren
Telephone Necklace £5: River Island 
Chocolate Leather Tote £75: Next
Office Narnia Plait Leather Sandals £35: Office

Look Two
Fluid Longline Blazer £65: Topshop
Mega Pearl Necklace £6.99: New Look
Clutch Bag £26: Accessorize
Pewter Slingback Heels £38: Dorothy Perkins 

I've tried to make the two looks quite different, with Look One being quite casual and Look Two a lot more formal. For the second look I had the idea of a summer wedding or a formal garden party in mind, so went for heels and a relatively neutral palette. I really love the longline blazer and think it would smarten up the tea dress and make it more formal, if the occassion called for it. 

The first look is more of an everyday look, which I would definitely wear to go shopping or out for lunch on a lovely summers day. The denim shirt layered over the dress would look really nice and would also keep you warm if it does get a bit chilly (which, lets be honest, it probably would!). Any long necklace would look good with this outfit, I just chose this one from Accessorize because it's cute. The brown colour of the bag (which I also featured in this post) goes really well with the dress and pairing it with some brown sandals gives a lovely summery vibe. 

What do you think of the outfits? Which one is your favourite? Let me know in the comments below and have a great day! 



Another day, another nail post! I am a bit obsessed with painting my nails recently. I just keep getting really bored after about a day of having a colour on. At least it means I'm getting through a bit more of my nail varnish collection!

Today's look is a matte gold which was achieved by using Topshop's 'Heart of Gold' followed by a matte topcoat by Rimmel. I really like matte nails and think it was a trend that never picked up enough! I think the matte finish works particularly well on metallic nail varnishes as opposed to just a regular type (if you know what I mean), I think it just shows up better and gives a better effect.

Will talk again soon and I'm sure I'll have another nail post coming your way very soon! Have a joyous day!
