My Polaroid Pictures | Part one

I thought I'd do a post about my polaroid. It's a post I'd love to keep as a regular thing. I like the idea of showing these small irreplaceable moments with you all. So this is going to be part one, it shows all the pictures taken in 2014 and few from the beginning of this year.

I own the Pink Fujifilm Instax mini 8 and I received it as a birthday present last February and I am in love with it. It has an amazing quality and I know I'll keep these photos for the rest of my life. On each photo I like to write the date, in years to come the day and month won't really have much significance, but I want to be able to look back on the year and remember how amazing it was and how much fun I had. When I take a polaroid I always think 'I'm going to be able to remember this moment forever because of this' and I love it. Things such as my holiday to Florida I'll always remember, but a moment like my friends and I cooking fajitas and dancing to Taylor Swift I won't, and I want to be able to look back and think 'I had such amazing time' because I'm so grateful for the life I am living right now.

That's enough soppy-ness haha, but here is Part One of my polaroids, February 2014-January 2015.

My Winter Lookbook

I decided to put together a few of my favourite winter outfits. The pictures aren't great as it's hard to shoot outfit pictures on your own! I have listed underneath each picture where everything is from, I would wear black high top converse, or the boots I featured in this post.

I don't tend to feel the cold, so if you do just add a jacket or scarf with the outfits!

Leather Jacket - H&M

Cropped Jumper - Ark

Skirt - Topshop

Coat - New Look

Dress - Boohoo

Top - Forever 21

Jeans - Topshop

I'd add the leather jacket and the scarf I featured in this post.

Top - Aeropostale

Shorts - Forever 21

I'd add the leather jacket with this outfit.

Dress - Forever 21

I'd wear this with the blue coat to add some colour to the outfit.

Which outfits do you guys like? What items of clothing are in your winter wardrobe?

My 2014 Favourites

As I've only recently started this blog, I decided that it would be a good idea to do a post about beauty and fashion items I loved during 2014. I thought it would be a good way for you to get to know a bit more about the things I like, and what my posts will be featuring in the future.

My first favourites of the year are my two most used makeup brushes, the Real Techniques Expert Face brush and the Mac 187 brush. I often use the real techniques brush for both foundation and concealer.

Rimmel stay matte powder in 001 Transparent

Maybelline dream satin liquid foundation in 10 ivory, in my opinion this is the best foundation I've ever tried, and I've been using it throughout all of 2014

Benefit's Porefessional Primer

Collection lasting perfection concealer in Fair 1

e.l.f Mineral INFUSED Mascara

Rimmel glam eyes liquid liner

eos mint lip balm

Barry M lipstick in 160 this product became a favourite towards the end of year, my favourite lipstick during the whole year was the Perrie Edwards Collection Lipstick

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

Taylor Swift Wonderstruck I switch between loving the two different Taylor Swift perfumes, but this one is definitely my favourite.

I have loved the Topshop Joni Jeans (I have the high waisted ones) for a long time, I wear the black ones pretty much every day

And my last favourite is a bit random, but I got my polaroid for my birthday last February and I've loved it SO much. I have the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 and it's perfect for capturing my favourite moments.

What did you love during 2014?

Change

I'm not one for change. I like the same things, but only when it comes to the little things in life. I hate routine, I feel as if all I ever do it get ready, all I ever do is go to bed. I want something new to do, and I want it to happen as soon as it can.

At this moment in time, I'm having to decided what I want to do next. I've chosen to apply for sixth form, and I've decided on what I want to study, but I constantly feel like I'm not good enough. Everyone has soomething they're good at, why don't I?

Wanderlust.

I'm certain about one thing I want from the future. I want to travel, and see everything I can. After being on holiday in the summer, I realised that maybe I like being disconnected from my friends. While I was away I could do what I wanted, I didn't have to speak to anyone, because I was so far from anyone I knew. Most of my friends know what they want in life, leaving me as the odd one out, the one that doesn't take things seriously, but I know that I don't want to be stuck in one place for the rest of my life.

Yes maybe I'd like to go to university, but only if i find my passion. At the moment I want to live my dream, I want to see the world. I know that I'll have to wait a few years for this all to happen, but at least I have something to look forward to that I want, and not just doing something because others are.

What do you guys want to do next?

Lush Haul

I'm a huge lover of Lush products, as I'm sure many of you are too. So I always receive lots of their products for Christmas and my birthday (which is only a few weeks away eek).

I thought it would be a nice idea to do a post about the products I received, as I love reading these posts on other peoples blogs.

I only photographed a few as I'm sure most of us know what they all look like. I decided to put them in this basket which I received my presents in from one of my friends. It was the perfect size and fit perfectly where I wanted it in the bathroom.

Space Girl - Bath Ballistic

Candy Mountain - Bubble Bar

 Shoot for the Stars - Bath Bomb

As well as these, I also got;

Melting Snowman - Bath Melt

Golden Wonder - Bath Bomb

Father Christmas - Bath Bomb

Twilight - Bath Bomb

I'd love for you all to put in the comments what your favourite products from Lush are and what you'd recommend for me to purchase next, I'm always up for trying new things!

Thankyou for reading x

A year of Instagram 2014

As I made my Instagram account in 2011, a lot of my old posts were deleted purely for the fact that they were super cringey! 2014 was my favourite year of Instagram, I loved documenting everything and I've decided to create A year in Instagram to show you all little moments that I've collected.

I've always loved taking photos, but always felt quite awkward doing so, but Instagram has made me so thankful that I do it, as all of my memories are stored in one small social network profile.

In 2014 I posted 107 photos to my Instagram, I know that isn't many compared to some people, but I try to post photos that are from moments that I want to remember in all of the years to come.

Three of these photos were my favourite moments of the year that I spoke about in Hello, 2015  

Seventeen of these pictures were selfies

Fifteen of these were concert videos (one being a 2013 throwback)

and surprisingly only Five of these were food posts.

But my favourite photos from this year are ones that make me instantly happy when I look at them. Pictures such as the one with 4/6 of my internet friends when we met and pictures from my holiday in Florida which is my happy place.

And of course all of the amazing times I've had with my friends this year.

I know people use Instagram in lots of different ways, and I'd love you to tell me what you like to post to your accounts in the comments. Are you happy with how you documented 2014? What are you going to do in 2015 to capture your happy moments? I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas!

Outfit of the Day- January 2nd

Hello again everyone!

I'm planning on doing a winter look book post which will hopefully be up next week, however I wanted to share this little number I've put together today. I'm walking into town with a few of my friends and as the weather obviously isn't the warmest I had to make sure I wrapped up warm, especially since I'm not very well at the moment!

 My dress is from ASOS. I got it in the sale so I paid £12

 My small triangle necklace is from Primark and I got it for £1.50

 I also got my jacket in the asos sale and it was £22 down from £55!

My scarf is from New Look and I think I paid around £8 for it.

The rings are from Primark

 The shoes are from Primark (i think i paid £24 for these) I bought them around October time and they are SO comfy! I wear them all the time!

Hello, 2015

Wowee has it been a long time since I've posted! But hello 2015, I'm hoping this will be the year that I finally start my blog properly!

2014 was such an amazing year for me. I truly mean it in every way when I say it was my favourite year. Which makes me sad to leave it, but excited to try and top it this year! 

Last night I decided to go through my pictures of the year and post a few of my favourites to instagram. I ended up having to cut it down to 72 (don't worry they were not posted individually!). It made me feel so happy that I had documented all of the amazing times I had throughout the year. I sat for so long going through all the pictures and smiling, knowing that I will have these moments documented for the rest of my life.

I have been so thankful for the things I was able to do during 2014. I know that I didn't waste any time, and that I can look back and smile at how amazing it was. I did things that made me happy, and ultimately that's the main goal.

I feel as if the main reason 2014 was my favourite year was because I made so many new friends, and started speaking to older friends of whom I had drifted from over the past few years. We have all created such a kind, loving, fun friendship group, not to mention a big one!! But it really is nice knowing you have so many people around you who love and care for you! I know that they'd do anything for me, and I feel that way about all of them.

As our exams approach giving us only a few months left being all together, I think everyone will make this an unforgettable year, and I'm excited to see what it brings! However I also know this will be a stressful year. The pressure to do well and having to choose what I want to do next will be hard, and I'm already preparing myself for it all. To be completely honest I have no clue what I want to do next, which sometimes makes it hard to be around others who do. But I know I will get there soon, I'm able to tick off things that I don't see myself doing, which means I will be able to focus on the things I am interested in.

I've never been someone who makes new years resolutions, I think that if you want to change something why wait? Always do what makes you happy! I think a good idea when it comes to resolutions is to only make a couple, therefore you are more focused, so I have decided that my resolutions will simply be

Do what makes me happy

Try my hardest in everything that I do

Make memories, and create another unforgettable year!

If you are reading this I hope you had an amazing year! I'd also love you to comment what you loved about 2014, and what you hope you will achieve in 2015!

I am going to try my hardest to blog more, to document things and to talk about things that I love!

I'd also really love to share with you all my memories from 2014
