Sunday Diary #7

1. It is safe to say that I whole heart-idly fail at doing these weekly! I normally work a Sunday so by the time I get home, I have completely forgotten to do it but this week I am forcing myself into doing it! I want to try & make myself do them every week as it is a nice way to catch up with everything.

2. Classes start back at uni on Tuesday... 2nd semester 4th year. Eek! I can't believe how fast these 4 years have gone, it is crazy! This semester is going to be mad crazy but it will all be worth it in the end - I hope. Speaking of uni work, if you are willing to do a short online interview/focus group with me on fashion blogging then that would be massively massively appreciated as it is my dissertation topic! More to come on this soon.

3.  Music of the week has to be ... Jessie Ware! If you follow me on Twitter then you will have seen my Tweets about this lady & her new album. It is just perfection. Perfect listening. Now all I need to do is find a friend that likes her & make them come to her gig with me!

4. I went bowling on Friday night, the first time in years & it was so much fun! I'm not brilliant at it but it was fun so who cares... haha. Also had a beasting  night out last night. I totally live for the weekend.

Style Crush #22

Jessie Ware. If you haven't heard her songs, go now! I will let you off this post just for that fact. She is an amazingly talented singer that has a keen eye for earrings, black & crop tops! Winning. Since listening to her new album & doing a little bit of research into who she is I am fallen right into girl crush territory.  Love love love!

Empties

I mostly focus on fashion on Erratic Glamour but I buy & try a fair amount of beauty products so I thought I would keep a few empties each month - not the boring every day stuff like deodorant etc - and talk about how I found them. So here goes!

Garnier Soft Essentials Comforting Toner 

This is the Rose extract version which is specifically for dry skin something which I have struggled with for as long as I can remember ... boo hoo! I really love this range as it removes all my make up quickly & gives my skin a nice clean feeling without leaving a heavy residue plus it couldn't be anymore readily available really, from Boots to your local Tesco stock this range so easy to get hold of as well as being affordable. Once my Olay products run dry I will definitely be looking to this once again.

Clinique High Impact Mascara 

My Granny gave me this sample sized Clinique mascara when I was home over Christmas & of course I used it religiously so this little tube of loveliness dry. I would 100% consider buying a full size tube of this when my Faux Cils runs out as it gives a lovely long, full look to the lashes without being clumpy. Winning.

Marks & Spencer Floral Collection Magnolia Shower Cream 

 This stuff is my favourite scent ever. It is floral without being too much & is a really nice moisturising product.  I got this in a set with some talcum powder - love this too - and some bubble bath. I am 100% going to repurchase this as I can see no flaws with it at all. It is just my favourite!

Boots Botanics Hydrating day cream All bright with SPF 15

Another buy it on a whim product that turns out to be something I really, really love. I bought this when it was on offer (I think the range is still on offer) as I needed a new face cream. This gives all day mositure while adding a subtle, healthy glow. I am really enjoying the Botanics products now after the re-brand they had not so long ago.

The Body Shop Sweet Lemon Body butter

I love these body butters regardless but sweet lemon was a new scent for me, I normally stick to the shea butter what a bore! This was a nice surprise, it isn't overly powerful scent wise & does the job perfectly. I can't complain about this one either. If I ever feel adventurous again in terms of body moisturiser scents then sweet lemon will get a look in!

A few, well actually, all these products I would buy again for sure.

Check it

As of recent, something has changed in my mind in that I now realise baggy clothes do little to nothing for my figure. I have boobs - not massively huge ones but they aren't fried eggs either - and I have a noticeable bump in the trunk, which I should add I am a great fan of when I workout. Squats and bum exercises are my friend. This said, I am making a conscious effort to wear clothes that don't drown me & make me look shapeless!

These bea-utiful checked trousers were a Christmas present from my big brother & I love them. I lusted after them for so long that when I finally got them I squealed with joy. They are texture - winning - and super duper stretchy - winning, yet again - making them not only eye & touch friendly but they are wearer friendly as well. What more can a girl ask for really! I should have worn them with my boots however I mean who decides to wear bare feet & pumps in January!

Trousers & Faux gur gilet - Topshop
Top & bracelet - H&M
Shoes - Marks & Spencers

Black Velvet

 

This New Years Eve was the first one in ages that I have actually done something for it so obviously I meticulously planned my outfit then changed it completely at the last minute. Standard.  I had planned on wearing these Topshop trousers - link - but changed to my disco pants at the last minute teamed with my Zara velvet blazer - link - Zara heels and a cream camisole from River Island. Added some mahoosive Topshop earrings & an orange clutch and off I went into 2013! 

I am on the hunt for some tartan trousers, anyone seen any nice ones that aren't a fortune?
