WISH LIST: Urban Outfitters

Greetings everyone! I hope you all had a fabulously spooky halloween and now it has become acceptable to CELEBRATE THE COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS! Woo, I'm literally extremely excited and full of this festiveness! *jumps with joy*. Now, as it is nearly reaching that festive time of month (I am aware its early November but don't be a scrooge!), I thought why not share some items I want to love (but can't afford), literally weeping inside, and perhaps give you guys some inspiration. *hint hint*. I really do need to stop online 'window' shopping- I don't know if that is a thing, but I just made it one! 

just a tad in LOVE with this. it's getting soooo cold, especially in Scotland, and I thought why not dress warm with a baggy hoodie which also sends a positive message. 

I've really been getting into peg-leg trousers, I think they're really cool and quite quirky and fun dressing with. I would most probably wear these trousers with a darker top (like black), giving the outfit a cooler fined look and more attention is paid to those statement trousers. Probably nothing to distract the look away from your statement trousers.

Stay beautiful, E xxx

September and (basically all time) favourites

This is a quite late September favourites so I 100% apologise for this delay, but if you are curious as to what my favourites are last month then have a little read here.

From basically all this summer, I have been in love with these lipsticks/lip creams. As you can tell from my previous blogposts, the NYX lip creams have made it into my faves (because they are amazing). 

From the left: NYX lip cream in Copenhagen (a beautiful look for a special occasion or even just to make you look a bit more fancy!), NYX lip cream in Cannes, Rimmel London Kate Moss 107 lipstick, Bourjois Paris in Praline and Topshop LIPS in Love Struck.

These are all fairly affordable drugstore lipsticks so treat yourself because you need it!

Lets talk about.. face makeup! I never really ever wear makeup on my face like bronzers, contouring and all that jazz. This was mainly because I never knew how to 'make up'?? (Does that make sense?) haha. However, I have to give it to one of my friends who is a makeup fanatic and I was curious. The two sleek palettes (the bigger one) is the highlighter kit which gives a great glowy effect (i look so shiny!) and the smaller palette is the contouring and highlight in the shade light. The Bourjois Paris limited edition bronzer smells AMAZING! I just want to eat it (but please don't!). They all have a nice pigment and are brands I trust with my face. They are all really affordable and you can find these at your local drugstore (like Boots and Superdrug). Make up, you have converted me. :)

I hope you enjoyed this drugstore favourites and I hope you had an amazing weekend, whether it is studying or just chillaxing (I'm jealous). :)

Stationary fanatic | Why I love pink

Throughout the whole of AS (first year in sixthform), I have discovered something. Not only that I love stationary, but that I love pink highlighters. Pink. It's not even in general that pink is my favourite colour, but when I began to revise, I found that the colour pink would make words and sentences stand out thus the content would easily go into my head. If you have ever witnessed my revision books, they are all highlighted in pink. Genuinely, my head can not tolerate other colours such as yellow, green, orange.. It is something weird, but it truly works. 

I have tested it out with green, yellow, orange and purple but nothing fits into my head. When I see the colour pink, my head focuses and when I buy pink highlighters, it has to be of a certain quality. I sound so crazy probably, but I just think Stabilo works best for me, hence the amount of stabilo highlighters in the picture above. 

I hope there are others out there who are in the same predicament as I am!
