July Wish List.

Although I am writing this post on a very rainy day in England I thought I would have a browse and so what new things I am wishing someone will magically add to my wardrobe this month.

 

 

 -  Shirt Dress -  Snake Print Gladiator Sandals -  Pinafore Overlay Summer Dress -  MAC Sweet & Sour Lipstick - Yellow Rain Mac -  Midnight Leather Boots -  Spike Front to Back Earrings   -  Drape Front Blouse -  Disc Bracelet - MAC Only in Florida Nail Varnish -  Khaki Sleeveless Jacket -  Duffel Bag -  Blue Ripped Jeans -

 

 Although it is 'summer' in the UK most of the shops have now started to display their A/W collections as you can tell with these colours. But I think these pieces tie in well with summer also. Plus who doesn't love a purchase which they can wear in any season and get their moneys worth. Another point which I must highlight after linking all of these items is how much I have been currently loving Top Shop the majority of  this wish list is made up from here.

 

My major faves from this wish list are the yellow mac from TS which I think is going to be my next purchase - its perfect for those rainy summer days and will be a perfect investment for Autumn, also the sweet & sour lipstick from MAC, which is a gorgeous orange colour for summer evenings. My last fave is the shirt dress from River Island as its a light material so good for when the sun does decide to arrive plus it can be dressed up or dressed down so I think it is a versatile summer piece.

 

P.S. What are you adding to your wardrobe for this month?

My June Faves.

I can't quite believe how quick June went by. Time just goes so fast without you realising.

 

 

 This is my first 'Faves' post and I think at the end of each month along with talking about some products that I have enjoyed in the past month I will also talk about a book that I have been enjoying and/or a film/TV programme also.
 

 

An old fave of mine to start of with is the Bare Minerals Foundation powder - I absolutely love and unfortunately have also ran out of this pure gold dust. It is a more expensive foundation, but it is not to heavy on the skin and gives a more natural look than liquid foundations and a pot lasts for ages. It is an effortless quick fix foundation and I shall definitely be purchasing a new pot of this!

 

Pricey BUT worth it! Yankee Candles. I love love love them. Every single one smells like heaven in a bottle and at the moment I am burning through the strawberry buttercream one. It smells delicious and is a perfect summer smell to fill a room. Do you have any recommendations on what scent to buy next?

 

The body shop Coconut Body Butter is another June fave. It does wonders for your skin, is not to shiny and isn't sticky and it leaves your skin smelling wonderful. Also perfect for summer as it leaves your skin feeling smooth and ready for whatever a summer day brings.

 

Another make-up purchase which I am currently loving is the new L'Oreal Miss Manga Punky eye mascara. It is a bold look eye-wise and is not for everyone, but I love how it makes your eye lashes stand out and makes your eyes 'pop'. It possibly isn't an everyday mascara, But definitely is a good purchase for a weekend statement and for something with a bit of a difference.

 

 

Lastly on the make-up front the Barry M Brow Kit is a massive one for me I have purchased and re-purchased this and I absolutely love it! It is a make-up must have for me. I just like the idea of a wax to shape your brows and then the power to define them and you use as little or as much as you want and I also comes in a little compact case which is handy to just pop in your bag. 

 

On the book front I have started a book from my summer reading list called 'Not that Kind of Girl' and so far so good. It is an empowering book for girls and I feel it takes a soft but truthful approach to feminism and being a young female adult in this ever changing world. But I have only just began to read so the judgement is still out until it is completely finished. But I shall let you know how it goes.

 

 

And lastly on the TV/Film front. Pretty Little Liars is a massive June fave. I am to the point where I am almost fed up of guessing who 'A' is, paranoia and questionability about everyone on the show as reached an all time high and at this point I don't even have a suspect in mind for who 'A' is. Am I 'A'? Are you 'A'? But I shall see if through and hopefully eventually all will be revealed. Who do you think 'A' is (if you watch PLL of course)?

P.S. What have been your June faves?

Summer Reading list.

So in my summer challenges post, I said that I wanted to complete my summer reading list. Then I realised that I have noted down on random pieces of paper books that I want to read and I thought this would be the perfect place to create an actual list of the books I want to read, and once it is on the internet I can't back out.

 

I can read books from any genre, but tend to stick to what I like best which is fantasy fiction, so werewolves that are also human beings, witches, vampires, and so on. But I also love a good romance novel. This summer I want to 'broaden my horizons' and try reading books that I normally wouldn't, or books that I have wanted to read but have never got the chance to.


Here is a list of the top 6 books on my summer reading list:

1. The Great Gatsby. By F. Scott Fitzgerald. I have never watched the film, but would like to give the book a go as I have heard only good things about it.
2. Not That Kind Of Girl. By Lena Dunham. She has been said to be the female voice of our generation and every gal loves reading empowering words from another woman.
    
3. The summoning (Darkest powers series). By Kelly Armstrong. This book as romance and paranormal activity in it. Two of my favourite things when looking for a new book to read. Plus I love a good book series.
4. To kill a mockingbird. By Harper Lee. Another classic book, but I have yet to read it and hopefully will get round to it this summer.
5. Paper Towns. By John Green. The film for this book comes out soon, and before I saw the trailer I wasn't so keen about it, but after seeing the trailer for the film I am pretty intrigued to give it a go,
6. One Moment. By Kristina Mcbride. Although this book seems like it could possibly be a bit 'depressing', I love a book where the ending isn't always perfect and happy, it makes a story seem more real and consistent with reality. Furthermore I think it adds more meaning to a story and I hope to take something away from reading this book. 

 

So these are my top 6 books to read this summer, I have a list that is very long but these are my main ones to get through. I love reading, it takes you away from reality and transports you into someone else's life for a few chapters and you get to live vicariously through the main characters.  

P.S. Do you have any suggestions on books for me to read? Have you read any of the above and thought they where amazing/awful?

P.S.S. I will be in Paris this week so instead of a post on Wednesday I will try to post on Friday instead. I hope everyone has a lovely week.

Summer Challenges.

Now that I have finished University for 4 whole months, this is the start of my summer. The British weather doesn't offer much of a summer, but when it does it is one of the most beautiful places to be.

 

Boredom has already set in (part of the reason I took the leap and made this Blog), so I thought I would write a list of Challenges which I hope to have achieved by the end of Summer:

1. To actually read all of the books on my summer reading list,
2. To get FIT (because being a fresher has taken its toll on my body),
3. To spend quality time with family and friends, and really appreciate them before I move back to Liverpool in September,
4. To watch all of the films that everyone says 'omg I cannot believe you have not watched that' (E.g. The Lion King),
5. To try and become a better photographer, it is something I have always been interested in, but never quite had the patience to really develop any sort of skills for it,
6. To develop my cooking skills, which is a must because at the moment I can make spaghetti on toast and that is my limit,
7. To spend more time outdoors and to go on more day trips and discover new places,
8. Lastly, to still be putting up posts on this Blog.

 

I hope that at the end of summer I have achieved all of these things, but if not I still hope that whatever I do this summer I enjoy it because this will be the last summer in a while I will be able to fully enjoy because of University.

Have you got anything planned for summer? Any places to visit? Or Any challenges that you have set yourself?

P.S. I would love to know if you have any book/film recommendations for me to read/watch over summer.
