Amsterdam OOTD // Weekend Edition

Hello lovelies,

Since being back at university I haven't been blogging. Not because I don't want too but I've actually become head of fashion & beauty for the university magazine, meaning that I've been up to my eyeballs in writing and editing articles... Alongside a mountain of work! But, I've started a module all about blogging and I remembered just how much I missed my blog so what better way to restart than to post my first outfit of the day (OOTD) post from my trip to Amsterdam. 

I spent the weekend in Amsterdam for my boyfriends birthday (giving him the lovely job of taking millions of photos of me) and thought I'd take snaps of what I was wearing as lately I've been really into wearing and trying new looks. I'll do my best to link the original items but alternatives might be in place as I do a lot of my shopping in vintage shops here in Leicester. 

Enjoy!

Day 1- From airport to Amsterdam

Finding something comfortable but stylish for your first day can be a bit of a mission but culottes are perfect! They can be dressed up but also dressed down so I decided to pair them with some Stan Smiths and an oversized washed out denim jacket.

Day 2 - Red accents

Red has swiftly become my all time favourite colour and this beanie I found in Bershka Amsterdam adds a pop of colour to a relatively monochrome outfit. I've also been loving my denim skirt and find pairing it with an oversized hoodie can keep you warm as well as comfy. Not sure you've noticed yet but comfort for me is key!

 Day 3 - Oversized everything

T-shirt dresses and band tee's have been in all summer and have been coming into the colder months as a layering option. I found pairing this dress with another oversized item of clothing worked really well. The jacket is an old school vintage Nike waterproof that adds some colour to the outfit. Every person in the world seems to own a pair of Vans and I don't blame them. These shoes are go with every single outfit ever and are super comfortable!

I used the same bag throughout the trip but unfortunately I brought it so long ago and abroad that I have no idea where you could find it from! If any of you know any designs similar please comment below I'd love to be able to find an alternative!

L'Oreal Pure Clay Masks // Review

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Hello lovlies,

Face masks are something I've had a constant hit and miss kind of relationship with. With ridiculously sensitive skin I have to be super careful about what kind of masks I use. The days of sleepovers and boots own face masks were never good!!! So, because of the bad experiences I've had, I've never been the type of person to do weekly face masks. Until now.

The L'Oréal pure clay mask range are made up of three different kind of masks. A glow mask, a detox mask and a purity mask. I picked up the ones that suited my skin. When reading about the purity mask I felt it wouldn't benefit my skin so I went for the detox and glow masks. I've been altering the two on a weekly basis for the past month and have actually noticed some changes!

The detox mask is more liquid based than the glow one and doesn't contain any micro beads. The packaging is really informative so I 100% recommend you read it before purchasing! This mask deep cleanses your skin and I did find it made my skin feel very clean and fresh after using it. 

The glow mask was a lot thicker and contained micro beads to exfoliate. I found this mask made a lot more of a visible different to my skin. My skin looked and felt softer and brighter. It didn't feel too tight on my face and I didn't feel like I had to moisturise too much afterwards.

I would 100% recommend these masks to anyone who is looking at trying to incorporate face masks into their skins routine. They are normally £7.99 each but you can often find them on offer in either Boots or Superdrug!

Has anyone else tried these masks or any others recently? I'd love to read your thoughts!

Love B x

Turning Twenty // Photo Diary

Hello lovelies,

Last Saturday was my birthday and this year I turned the big two zero! After mentally preparing myself for it all week and being told over and over again that I will now be a real adult, I finally began to get excited! I thought it would be nice to share a few snaps of the weekend!

20!!!

I am a sausage dog enthusiast

Before our night out... I didn't want anymore photos!

After a bottle of wine...

And another one...

Reunited with boo

I have recently moved to Leicester as I started studying at De Montfort University last month. Since moving away I haven't seen any of my old friends, family or my boyfriend therefore I couldn't wait to go home for the weekend and see them all. My boyfriend came down a few days earlier to spend the night in my flat and meet my new friends. We went shopping (because Leicester has the most amazing shopping centre) and also went out for a meal and some cheeky cocktails. I may have had a few too many as I was dreading turning 20... Finally on my birthday I went home for the weekend to see my family. My mum pulled out all the stops by surprising me with one of her lush homemade cakes and as any normally teen I went for a very drunk night out with my pals!

I thought I should update you all on why my blogs been so empty over the past couple of weeks. With everything going on and me moving away I'm still finding my feet and trying to get my life together. (How dramatic do I sound haha!) BUT... blog posts will finally be back to a weekly thing. YAY.

Has anyone else recently moved away to uni? Or had a birthday? Let me know below, I love reading your comments.

Love B x

Watch this space // New upload day!

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Hello lovelies,

So, I know I haven't been uploaded lately. I have so much going on with applying for university, going to open days, college and work. Everything has got in the way of blogging but I'm back and I'm not going anywhere!

Over the past two months I have built up a massive collection of ideas for blog posts so watch this space. I'll be uploading every Sunday evening as I feel Sundays are my favourite day to wind down, relax and read some blog posts.

I could probably ramble on for hours about everything I want to do on my blog for Christmas but instead I'm going to leave you with this post linking you to my bloglovin' page where you can also follow my blog and keep up to date with any of my posts. 

Lots of love

B x
