Short, quick, last minute post for you all today, but I just wanted to share the news with everyone!
So around about half an hour ago, I was just checking my emails, as I do most nights, and this little one popped up in my inbox...


I got a place! How awesome is that that i'm going to be a face of the games! If you don't know what the Commonwealth Games are, where have you been?! It's basically a massive sporting event, and it's going to be held in my hometown of Glasgow next year!

I actually thought my interview went HORRIFIC, (the questions were really weirdly worded, and there was A LOT of awkward pauses by me..) but apparently it went ok!

So a really really short post, but that's all i wanted to say.
There will be an October Favourites, and Empty Products, and a Spending Ban Update blog posts to come in the foreseeable future (along with a very different style one, that's taking a lot longer than expected to put together, based on Horoscopes, random, I know), so look out for those!

Now, if you know me at all, you will already know how much I love Harry Potter. One of the main actresses, i'm sure you will all have heard of, is Emma Watson, and this post is going to be dedicated to her fabulous, effortlessly beautiful style. I think she is very classic with what she wears, and she knows what styles look good on her, and what don't, and it's rare for someone to know that nowadays, so lets get started!

Sorry i've been absent for a bit, my life suddenly got pretty busy! But i'm back, with a short post today, just to let you all know how my spending ban is going.
Last week I made a post on how I was going to be on a "Spending Ban" (you can read the post here).
For a first week, I think I did ok...

I bought a train ticket to go see Jessie J/Lawson at the new "The Hydro"venue in Glasgow (and the show was absolutely fantastic! I'm not a huge fan of Jessie J, I was going to accompany a friend, and Jessie J blew me away with her talent, but that's another story!) so that was about £3 I spent.

I was also a little bit naughty... I bought a makeup brush.. the "Real Techniques Expert Face Brush". I have been stopping myself from buying these for around six months now, mainly because of the price, but when I saw them on offer for a FIVER in ASDA, I had to get it, i'm sorry!
But apart from that, i've been good! Yay!
There will probably be another update next week.

(L-R Pink Glitz, Buttercup, Martian, Sunset Orange, Cloudless Sky, Superhero, 3D Glitter, Jester)

Many, many years ago, when I was only around the age of nine or ten, I purchased my first ever nail polish, from none other than.. ASDA. Yes, you read right, ASDA.
Fast forward quite a few years on and I have an ever growing collection of these nail polishes.

(L-R Martian, Buttercup, Pink Glitz, Superhero, 3D Glitter, Jester, Cloudless Sky, Sunset Orange)

I love these nail polishes, and although I have currently got 8, I must have purchased many, many more over the years, which have either been misplaced, or dried up.

Not only do these nail polishes dry super fast, but they're also true to what colour they look in the bottle. Saying that, two or three coats are needed to achieve the desired look, but when they dry faster than most drugstore nail polishes, then I guess I can't complain.


Also, the colour range is so extensive, seriously, they have every colour imaginable! My favourite from the ones I have is either Superhero, or Cloudless Sky, as they look the most flattering on my nails. My least favourite is Martian, as it really looks pretty horrible on my pale hands, although if I had a slight tan, I think it would look fine. Although buttercup doesn't look great on pale people, I wear it all the time when I have a slight tan, as it looks fab.

One thing I can say though is that they dry up pretty quickly, well, only some of them. The ones I own currently, i've had for ages,but i've also have had many more, which have all dried out.

The best thing about these however is definitely the price. They are only £1,50 ?! (Although they can often be picked up for £1.00!) So really, I can't fault these, considering the price.

Yes, they aren't the most long lasting, and some may dry up quickly, but for under £2, they are absolutely brilliant in my opinion, and they are so incredibly underrated! More people definitely need to try these!

Have any of you tried these? If so, what are your thoughts? If you haven't tried them... what are you waiting for?! Go grab some now!

Recently, i've seen quite a bit of "acid wash" clothing in all the shops, and it made me rekindle my love for acid wash clothing. However, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but here's a round-up of some of my favourite pieces that i've seen in shops and online over the past few weeks.


Petite Moto Acid Wash Denim Hotpants - £30.00 from Topshop (get them here)

Dark Acid Wash Mollie Leggings - £35.00 from River Island (take a look here)



Blue Acid Wash Button Through Mini Skirt -£12.00 from River Island (it's in the sale, so if you want it, you better hurry!)


Ersilla Acid Wash Frayed Dungarees £16.19 from Misguided (here)


Maravilla Acid Wash Loose Denim Shift Dress In Blue - £24.99 from Misguided (here)


Hallie Acid Wash jeans In Blue - £14.99 from Daisy Street (here)

Safaia Acid Wash Denim Skirt -  £22.00 from Pretty Little Thing (here)


And that's that! What's your opinion on Acid Wash? Yes or no?

Over the past month or so I've realised I've spent a lot of money.. And by a lot, I mean A LOT. I am spending way too much, which can only mean one thing..
I think a spending ban needs to begin.
And I mean a ban on everything, beauty,  fashion, food, the lot! My aim is to spend next to nothing this Autumn, only investing in the absolute essentials (boo, no more lipsticks), as I'm pretty sure there's nothing I need.
The ban starts NOW.
 I say now, because I had initially planned to start it two days ago, but I may have spent some money on the following:

"Snow Fairy" Shower Gel From Lush, and a Maroon Beanie from New Look.
 And these are what I hope to be the last of my "pointless and unneeded purchases" for a while!
So I'm intrigues to see how I do at this spending ban! I'll probably post weekly updates, for maybe a month or so, and we'll see what my total spend-age is after a month or so! (Hopefully not a lot!)

So tell me, have any of you tried a spending ban before? Did you commit to it? Tell me your stories!

Just a quick little late night post for you guys today, as I was bored, and I have some time to waste! I saw this tag floating about, and because I love Autumn so much (see here), i thought this tag would be super fun to do!

Favourite drink?
 I'm going to have to be boring and say hot chocolate (specifically the orange flavour). In my opinion there's nothing better than relaxing in warm, comfy clothes and a hot chocolate.

Favourite scent/candle?
This is hard, because there isn't a specific "Autumn Scent" for me, but i'm loving cinnamon, and also cherry right now, random, but the smell I like changes all the time.

Best lipstick?
A deep berry red is absolutely perfect for Autumn. I especially love the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 107, it's just the most amazing deep red ever, and I think it would suit any skin tone, which is always great.

Go-to moisturiser?
I don't change moisturiser in the autumn (should I?), so it's still the Simple "kind to skin" hydrating moisturiser.

Go-to colour for the eyes?
 Purple! Well, occasionally. I tend to steer clear of bright colours on my eyes and only use nudes, but I think a subtle hint of purple through the crease or in the outer corners of my eyes adds a little something unusual and Autumnal to my makeup.

Favourite music to listen to?
Recently, i've rekindled my love for "Scouting For Girls". Their songs are mostly feel good songs, and perfect to put you in a good mood. Lawson are also great for Autumnal songs.

Favourite outfit to wear?

Autumn is my favourite time of year style-wise. I love wearing baggy jumpers, woolly cardigans, hats, leggings, boots with socks peeking out the top, Autumnal colours, etc..

Autumn treat?
Ooh, I kind of already treated myself to a new jacket, and concert tickets (to see The Wanted), so i'm officially skint. However, when I have money I will be investing in a new cardigan, and probably a new lip product for Autumn (not that I really need them!)

Favourite place to be?
Pretty typical, but I love to be in my house, all cosy in my bed, or on the sofa, either on my laptop or with my head buried in a book, with a hot drink and some food.
Saying that though, I do also love to go shopping with my friends, as I love Autumn weather.

So that's it! I have to say that next week my posts may not be frequent as I have work experience (in a design studio, i'm so excited!) all day, and i'll probably just want to sleep when I go home, so just a little heads up on that.

I tag all of you to do this tag, if you love Autumn as much as me!

P.S - If you have any post ideas, please let me know! I have a few written down in my "blogging notebook", but it's always good to have to many than too little!

Last week I went a bit crazy, and I bought a couple of things, most of them which I probably don't need, but when I see them, looking all pretty on a website, or in a shop, I have to buy them..



First stop was Topshop, where I picked up the most beautiful skirt. It doesn't look much on the hanger, but worn, it looks very flattering, and I love a good skater skirt, and I am a big fan of acid wash, so mix the two together? Perfect. I took a little bit of a rist, and bought a size 6, as that was all they have left, and I didn't have time to try it on. I vary from a 6-8 and usually if I don't have time to try things on, i'll buy the size bigger, just because i'd rather it was a little bit big, than too tight. However, it fits perfectly. And, it was only £20, which for Topshop, was pretty reasonable, in my opinion!


Next I ordered from an online shop called "FragranceDirect". It's basically a site that does makeup at discounted prices. I'd heard about this shop ages ago, but I was worried from purchasing from it as I wasn't sure how reliable it would be. I read a few people's blog posts on it, and they all seemed to find it trustworthy, so I went ahead and bought a few items (that I definitely did not need.)


I then bought this nail varnish from Revlon, in the prettiest colour. It's in the shade "Cheers"and it's a beautiful dusky pink. I have it on my nails right now, and it's so beautiful. It was only 99p as well! (usually £5.99)




Finally I picked up, what is probably my favourite beauty purchase in this haul) an Essie nail polish, but not just any Essie nail polish, a bright orange one! I know it's coming into Autumn, but I do love to have bright nails all year round, and this is certainly bright all right! It's in the shade "Fear and Desire".(Great name!) And it was £1.99 (usually £7.99)



I headed to Primark the other day, in the hunt for a pair of jeans, as I can never get any to fit me. They're either not skinny enough, but fit lengthwise, or fit at the waist, be skinny, but be too short. I find that the Primark superskinny, supersoft jeans in a size 6 fit me perfectly, which is why I purchased this gorgeous maroon pair. (For only £8!) I am in love with this colour right now. It's such a perfect autumn colour, and I think i'll get a lot of wear out of these.



Last but not least, another purchase that I think i'll get a lot of wear out of is this faux leather jacket from H+M. it was £30, so a reasonable price for a jacket, and I love it. I'm really fussy with jackets, they have to be perfect, and I think this one is. I'm seeing leather jackets everywhere right now, but this is the only one i've seen that I've loved it on.


So that's everything i've bought recently! What's your favourite thing I bought? is there anything you hate? Let me know!
