Fashion Love 001

Your probably all thinking, 'Tara you don't like wearing skirts?'. I know I've said in previous posts I hardly wear them but the past few weeks I've been living in them. Since the weather has gotten warmer - fingers crossed it stays like this, I have been wearing skirts a lot! Well skater skirts. I actually love them, There a go to fashion item for me at the moment! I also own a few dresses in the same style, I plan on getting more. Now they ones I've show are both from topshop, the ones I actually have are both from Primark. Obviously its me! There so much cheaper in Primark and still great quailty! I love wearing these with T-shirt and white frilly socks and my converse. It looks so casual but also really girly and cute! You could also wear them with a nice sheer blouse and some heels, That would also look cute but a bit more dressy!

Also I'd quickly like to mention I'm now making YouTube videos so If you could check it out and subscribe and comment and other fun stuff then I'd really appreciate it.

Spring/Summer outfit 002!

In a previous post a mentioned I would do a few Spring/Summer outfit posts, of outfits that I'd wear or love to own! This is one that is completely my style. I literally live in jeans and converse all the time! I feel its just the best way to be casual and comfy at the same time! Obviously you don't actually have to have converse like above I have used cheaper ones from New look! I often just pairs jeans with a t-shit of some kind and then that's my typical outfit! Also love this bag from miss guided to complete the whole outfit! Especially if i was going out shopping!

One Direction Take Me Home Tour 02.04.13

If you follow me on twitter you probably would know I'm slightly obsessed with One Direction. I would say I fan girl quite a lot! Like most fans I've been counting down the days for over a year now till I went to see them! I can say now the wait was so worth it! I had such a great time with my friend Lauren. Lets just say our voices had pretty much gone! Although we was no where near them and couldn't really see them we had such an amazing time! Just being there and being part of it was perfect. As always they were amazing! Still cant believe I've seen them live and its been a week tomorrow! Anyways the whole point of this post is to let you know I had a great time and to show you what I wore.(picture above)  actually made the t-shirt myself! Just want to say to anyone else that is seeing them, you will have such a great time!

picture of the boys! Best one I could get since I was so far away!

Just a quick note. I'm away at my boyfriends at the moment but I should be back to posting properly soon!

Spring/summer outfit! 001

Personally I LOVE spending hours online browsing through different websites and putting together outfits I'd love to own! Such as this one! I've had this outfit in mind since denim skater skirts came about this year! Since then I've always wanted to own one, which I don't yet! I've always imagined pairing it with a plain white over sized T-shirt so It doesn't look too dressy and wearing a pair of gorgeous black heels. Which honestly I probably wouldn't be able to walk in these ones but I fell in love when I saw them! Since the outfit was a bit plain and had no colour, I thought this statement necklace would tie the whole outfit together as Bright colours are really in this Spring/Summer.

Let me know what outfits you want to wear this spring/summer?

Top 12 products of 2012..

So as 2012 is drawing to a close I thought this was a great one to share with you. I'm going to talk about my top 12 products of 2012. I have seen this post being done by a lot of bloggers recently and I love reading them so I'm going to do my own.

001- Soap & Glory Clean on me shower gel - I actually bought this product on a whim, didn't know much about it but it smelt gorgeous so I went for the full size straight away! Boy am I glad I did. I have spoken about this in previous favourite posts so I'm not going to ramble on but I will just quickly say, It lathers up really well and leaves your body feeling so smooth and the smell stays on your body though out the day!

002- Clean&Clear Deep action cream wash- I haven't been using this through out the whole year. Probably only a couple of months now but I switched to this as I didn't like my previous face wash. Again I actually hadn't herd much about this product but I knew Clean&Clear were a raved about brand so I just gave it ago. At the moment it is one of the best face washes I have used but I'm looking forward to trying different ones in 2013.

003- Soap&Glory Hand food- Some people say they don't like the smell of hand food but I personally love it! I love the fact it actually moisturises my hand too and doesn't just leave them feeling greasy.

004- Superdrug face masks - These are essentials for me. I use the quite a bit, I try to use one at least once a week and I feel they do wonders for my skin. I have also recommended these to people and they have come back saying they love them too!

005- MUA Undressed palette - Now I, like most bloggers started with the Heaven&earth palette from MUA but then they came out with this beauty! I actually haven't used the heaven&earth palette since. People say this is comparable to the Naked palette from Urban Decay but I don't own that so I cant say. I am happy with this though so I wont be rushing out to buying either of the Naked palettes any time soon.

006- Natural Collection blusher ( Pink Cloud) - This was actually recommended to me by quite a few bloggers and I'd like to say thanks to those people that did because this has to now be one of my most worn blushers this year.

007- Bourjois Healthy mix foundation - This product has been really hyped up in the 'blogging world' so it kind of made me want to try it. I herd it was great for dry skin too! I love the way this makes my skin look and the coverage is great! I couldn't see myself using  another foundation any time soon.

008- Miss sporty Dr Balm (honey moon) - I got this for free when i purchased something else from Miss sporty but I've used this a lot the last couple of months. It's the perfect lip colour if your too scared to wear a full on dark lip. It's really moisturising as well so that's always a plus.

009- Benefit Bad Gal Lash mascara - I'm pretty sure you guys know how much I love this mascara so I'm not going to say much. If your interested you can see my full review here.

010- Natural Collection Waterguard mascara - Thought this year this has been one of my go to mascaras! I wasn't expecting much when I first bought it but I needed a new waterproof mascara as I always like to have one in my collection. This is actually waterproof but at the same time comes off really easily when you use and make up remover! Everything I look for in a waterproof mascara. It also leave my lashes looking great!

011- John Frieda Frizz-ease Serum - This is the one and only  hair product I've really loved this year. I started using it in the summer and have used it pretty much every time I've washed my hair since. When I don't use this I do notice that my hair looks a lot more frizzier.

012 - Models own nail polishes - Just models own nail polishes in general! They are so good and I get why every one loves them! I'm actually now building up quite a collection. They are now my go to brand for nail polish! They have such a great colour selection as well. I find for most colours you only need one coat and they dry really quickly and don't chip easily either.

So that is the 12 products that have stood out to me and I have loved through out 2012. Let me know what you think of these products and also if you've done this post yourself leave the link in the comments so I can have a read!

I'd also quickly like to say a huge thank you for all your support this year. I know I'm not one of the most successful bloggers and I'm not planning to be but if it wasn't for you guys that read my blog and suggest posts I wouldn't be doing this. Hope you all have a happy new year and continue to stick with me.

simple but easy festive nails

A simple and easy way to make your nails look festive. I think it looks really festive and its really easy to do! Just chose your base colour. I went for an icey blue because I wanted that winter wonderland effect. Then i just added two different glitters because I couldnt choose just one! So I used a fine silver glitter and then a silver glitter with big bits of blue and purple glitter in to make it look that bit more festive. You could always use a red  base and use a gold glitter so that they look more christmasy.  Let me know what you think and will you being try this instead of doing nail art?

Topshop Wishlist

I don't know about you guys but I often browse the Topshop website and every time I do I find something else I would love to own! Thought I'd share with you a few things that are on my topshop wishlist at the moment. I always find something I like on Topshop but never actually buy it. I've been wanting a pair of Chelsea boots for a while now and after Christmas will be a perfect time for these.

If I don't post again before Christmas I hope you all have a lovely day!

December bucket list

How to: Polka dot nails

Heeey!

I've been requested a couple of times to do some sort of nail art tutorials for nail art I've posted before, so today I'm going to explain to you how to just do an easy polka dot nail tutorial. Just to start of with and for mine own sake because I wasn't really sure how to set it out in the way of showing you. 

The picture above is pretty self explanatory and is super easy to follow. You just need the nail polishes of your choice and a dotting tool or you could use a bobby pin because it looks the same. I've used Models Own polishes in 'Beth's Blue' and 'Raspberry Crush' and my dotting tool is from ebay and they weren't expensive at all.

I'll let the picture show you how to do it instead of me rambling on for no reason and as its super easy to do.

Hope you enjoyed this post, I know its easy but I just wanted to show you how I do it.

Let me know if you want any other tutorials in the comments.

Pink on nude flower nails

Heeey!

So I know you all enjoy seeing my nails when I've done some nail art on them. I'm not sure why but I just fancied doing some nail art today and this is what they turned out like.  They can look very complicated to do but honestly they are not at all, you just need the patients and time to do them. I wasn't expecting mine to turn out as well as they have but I am very pleased with them, especially my right hand because I'm right handed I find it difficult to do both hands neatly. I guess it takes practise. There not very wintery but I guess you could do them in more winter colours. I just wanted to use pink since I thought the pink and nude would look lovely together.

If you have any questions about the colours I've used or anything else leave them in the comments and ill be sure to let you know.

Review: Natural collection blush - Pink cloud

If you've been reading my blog from the start you will know I've already reviewed the Natural collection blush in Peach Melba, Which you can read here. As most of you may know these blushers are very popular in the UK, especially the pink cloud one. This blushers has been talked about a lot in the 'blogging world' us girls seem to like this blush ALOT. After reading so many good posts on it I felt like I was missing out. I brought this months ago now and now I feel like its my turn to say what I think.

This blush is a lovely light pink shade and leaves a lovely natural look to your cheeks, it is build able though. The price of these blushers may put some people off but I think they are great for £1.99! In my peach melba post I mentioned that people have a problem with the pan falling out. I've still not had this problem which is great and proves they are all like that. This blush is actually my every day blush at the moment and I love using it, like I said it just makes my cheeks look lovely and natural.

Let me know what you think of natural collection blushers.

H&M inspired outfit

Not going to lie I love to just have a look on clothes websites all the time even though a cant afford to spend money. I was having a nose about the H&M website yesterday and  as you know I'm on a hunt for a dress. So when I was on the website I came across this lovely ivory lace detailed skater dress I immediately fell in love. They also do the dress in the same colour as the blazer above but I liked the ivory colour more. So when I saw this I decided I would put together an outfit with other items from the H&M website. I'm not sure if these items are all sold in store as well but I know they are on the website. Obviously. I just knew I had to put together an outfit with this dress, so that's what I did. I personally think this dress would look lovely paired with this gorgeous green blazer ( I've just looked on the website and this colour is now out of stock and they have been put down to £9.99) so that's annoying because they don't have the colour I wanted any more but I'm sure there are others about. I will link all the items below so you can check them out. Anyway then I would pair the outfit with some lovely black heels- any black heels but I only liked the look of this pair on the H&M website.

Dress
Blazer
Heels

 Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Id just like to say a big thank you for all the lovely support my lovely followers are giving me it means so much, I know all blogger say this but I honestly mean it. I wouldn't enjoy writing posts as much as I do if I didn't have you guys supporting me.

Just some nail art 001

Okay so as you might know I love painting my nails all the time, what you might not have known is that I love doing nail art in my spare time which I have quite a lot of since I made a stupid mistake and didn't apply for college for various personal reasons but lets not get in to that on here. After my cupcake nail post got a lot of great and positive comments! I  thought now was a great time to show you some of the other nail art I've done.

Now  I know I'm not the best at nail art but if you want any tutorial posts on how to do any of these then please just let me know I will be more than happy do them for you. I'm sorry these pictures aren't the best quality but its the best I can do at the moment.

Really hope you enjoyed this post let me know what you think and if you want tutorials.

Dresses...

I honestly don't own any dresses except like one or two from like two years ago. I wouldn't say I'm really the dress kind of girl so these are a bit out of my comfort zone. I really think I need to start wearing them more and then maybe I'll start to feel more comfortable about wearing them. Like all girls I don't really like my body but I just need to get over that step and then ill feel better when wearing dresses. Anyway on to what the post is really about - I've been looking online recently and fell in love with some dresses. I'm actually trying to find a dress for my boy friends birthday at the end of November. (ages away yet I know but I'm just trying to find the right one) Here are some dresses I've either fallen in love with or taken a like for I guess you could say.

001 - This dress really isn't something I would normally go for but I just love the way it looks online, I'm yet to try it on so who knows whether I will like it or not after I've tried it. I think this dress looks kind of dressy? but I think it will look lovely with a pair of black tights and either some flats or heels. I love the lacey part of this dress I just think it make the dress look that little bit more interesting I guess. I also love the fact it covers your arms, that will just make me feel that little bit more comfortable - Not that I really hate my arms. To top of this wonderful dress the price is even better its only £7.99! from H&M which I think is brilliant so I'm all up for buying this dress if I like it as much once I've tried it on.

002 - This dress is the Lattice waist  flippy dress from topshop. Its £38.00  and its kind of a skater style dress. As soon as I saw this on the website I fell in love. Other than the cut out in the waist it is everything I look for when I'm looking at dresses. I love the skater style as you will soon notice , I think it looks cute. The sleeves on this dress just makes it look that bit more cute. I am really thinking about buying this one it just looks gorgeous.

003- I saw this dress on newlook and its another one of those dresses that I just fell in love with immediately. The top part of the dress actually has lace detailing on it which I personally think looks gorgeous. The skirt on this dress made me want it even more, not only is it chiffon material but I'm loving the Burgundy colour at the moment I just think its the perfect dress for autumn/winter time. Again I think this dress would look perfect with some black tights and some heels, I even think this dress will be perfect for Christmas and new years. This dress prices at £27.99 which is great as it is such a beautiful and detailed dress.

004- Finally this is another dress from top shop and again its that gorgeous burgundy colour. I wouldn't say this is a dressy dress but its perfect for everyday and would look so cute with some ankle boots and frilly socks and maybe a blazer over the top. This is actually my least favourite out of the four but I still like it. You can actually get this in grey as well. The price of this dress is £26 which I think is a bit much for what it actually is. Its just a basic t-shit dress I guess which you will probably find cheap ones somewhere else - Please let me know if you've seen any cheaper ones in other shops, Id be really grateful.

Here are the links to all the dresses mentioned:
001 H&M dress
002 topshop lattice waist flippy dress
003 newlook 2 in 1 skater dress
004 topshop speckle roll sleeve mini dress

Hope you guys enjoyed this post.

 what is your favourite out of the four?
