Not just another beauty blog...

Tag: lust

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!

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!

Good morning everybody! So, it would appear I'm not much of a weekend post-er. I do apologise it just seems that I never have time to actually get them up at the weekend what with work and seeing friends and general life. I hope that's ok and I will always try to make up for it during the week and I've got some good posts lined up for the coming days! 


First up a bit of a hair update. It's been just over two weeks since my no-heat hair experiment now and on Friday I went for a haircut! First one since last July I think, TERRIBLE I KNOW! But anyway, it feels so much better now that I have had those dead, scraggly ends chopped off and I didn't actually need to have as much off as I thought I would so that's all good. I'm feeling a lot better about the situation now and am making sure to really look after those freshly cut ends now. I booked another appointment for 5 weeks time to keep them looking good so definitely feel like I'm on the right track for long, luscious locks! 


So, with that over, I have a little collection of things here that are all under £10 but still extremely lust-worthy! I got paid on Friday but have still got to keep an eye on the pennies in order to begin making any sort of headway into paying off the incomprehensibly large amount of money I now owe the government thanks to furthering my education into degree land. But anyway, let's not think about that! Enjoy! 




Bikini Top £9.99H&M
Bikini Bottoms £7.99H&M
Straw Hat £6.99H&M
L'Oreal Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer £9.99Boots
Mollie Neon Aztec Skirt £10: boohoo.com
Lola Round Keyhole Retro Sunglasses £8boohoo.com
Bangles £7.40: Forever21
Braided Sandals £6: Forever21
Bourjois Nail Varnish #25 £5.99: Bourjois
Soap and Glory 'It's About Prime' eyeshadow base £8: Boots


As you can see I think I may have gone a bit overboard with the summer theme. It's the weather we've been having, it's making me think I would actually be able to wear these things now, instead of having to wait a few months when it wouldn't be guaranteed anyway. Ah well, we can dream. 


I really want to try that Lumi Magique primer from L'Oreal because I've heard good things about it and I tested it out in Boots the other day and it looked pretty nice and glowy. Have any of you lot tried it? If you have I would love to know what you think. Also, I'm on the lookout for a new primer since my Urban Decay one has run out, has anyone tried this Soap and Glory one? The aztec print skirt from boohoo.com is gorgeous and I, like almost everyone else I think, am loving this trend at the moment and at only £10 I think it's a no-brainer! 


I really hope you've all had a great weekend, let me know what you've been up to! More posts coming in the very near future so keep a look out! Bye for now!

I am having a love affair with jewellery at the moment so have dedicated this Weekend Wish List to just that. I also am loving the jewellery on offer at Urban Outfitters at the moment and as I was putting together my fave pieces of the moment it was ending up as mostly pieces from there anyway, so I decided to dedicate it entirely to them! I want all of these things really rather a lot. Unfortunately it's not payday for me until NEXT. FRIDAY. so I'm afraid I will just have to be patient...Enjoy!




Hamsa Charm Necklace: £12
Metal Stone Ring: £14
Vivienne Westwood Rose Gold Valentines Necklace: £110 (gulp!)
Heart and Chain Bracelet: £8
Hanging Triangle Earrings: £8

My favourites from this little line up are the ring and the bracelet. I'm really into cute, simple bracelets at the moment and this one would be so easy to wear all the time. It does come in a couple of other colours as well so you could layer them or just wear one on its own. The Vivienne Westwood necklace is really gorgeous (if a bit on the expensive side at this time in my life!). The rose gold colour is bang on trend and would quirk up an outfit instantly. Love it!


Is there anything you are desperately lusting after at the moment? Let me know in the comments! Hope you're having a really fantastic weekend!




A little late what with it not actually being the weekend any more but wanted to share with you some more pieces that I am having a serious love affair with at the moment. I haven't had a big clothes shopping spree in far too long and have the overwhelming need to buy something. But I just know that when it actually comes to being let loose around the shops there won't be anything that I want because that always seems to happen! Whenever I can't shop for one reason or another (mostly because I'm not looking after the pennies too well!) there seems to be a never-ending list of things I want to buy, but then when I allow myself to have an indulgent spending spree nothing seems to float my boat or what I have seen just doesn't look or feel right. Hopefully that will not be the case with this little collection of beauts that I've lined up for you...As it was St Patrick's Day on Saturday I've chosen mostly green things, which is good as green is in at the moment!

Mint Shirt: New Look
Snood: Topshop
Typewriter Necklace: Accessorize
Nail Varnish: 'Gargantuan Green Grape' O.P.I
Green Shorts: River Island
Patent Pumps: Lipsy @Asos

I absolutely love the nail colour, I've been looking for a green for ages so might just have to go ahead and buy that one. And that mint green shirt is gorgeous and so in right now! Hope you like my picks and let me know what you're loving at the moment. 

I hope you all had a really great weekend. I've got some exciting posts on their way, including some of my favourite beauty products of the moment. Have a great day and speak soon!
