HAUL: Westfield Derby



L-R: Maxi Skirt - Primark £10, Pinafore Dress - Quiz £12.99, Aztec Dress - Primark £5, Bird Print Dress - H&M £10, Pink Peplum Top - Dorothy Perkins £8.50 (with student discount), Black vest top - Topshop £9 (with student discount), Black T-Shirt - Primark £5, Shoes - Quiz £9.99

On Wednesday, me and my mother took a little trip to the Westfield Derby shopping centre for a bit of retail therapy. I was very kindly gifted a gift card to spend there as a little thank you from them for this post. We had a really lovely day and I managed to get quite a few things. For me, I'm a beauty addict and whenever I go out to buy clothes, I always end up coming back with beauty products. So this time, I decided to go into Boots last after I'd bought a lot of clothes as they're what I needed the most.

First of all we went to Nando's as by the time we got there, it was midday and we were both extremely hungry. It was my mum's first time in the restaurant and luckily for me, she enjoyed it. After that, we walked around the centre and ended up finding items in Dorothy Perkins, Quiz, H&M and Topshop. Originally, I had planned on spending the majority of my money in New Look as it's my favourite store but on that day, I just didn't have any luck. I paid for the Nando's on my gift card and my mum gave me the money for it back so I could also have a cheeky trip in Primark (which isn't in the centre) - how clever of us! We also ventured into Debenhams so I could have a sniff of the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche Skinscent. Big mistake. It's beautiful and now, I need it but it's pretty pricey - boohoo.

Of course, I took a trip into Boots after I'd spent the majority of the money on clothing. Seeing as it's 3 for 2 on skin care products, I decided to repurchase the Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix pads and the La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo as they're two of my favourite skin care items at the moment. I then decided to get the Garnier 5 second Perfect Blur as I'm in need of a new primer and this one promises miracles, so why not? I was also in need of new eyeliners and my favourite Collection 2000 Extreme 24 Hr Felt Tip Liner Pens were on offer for 2 for £5 so I decided to get two as I run out of them quite quickly. I then saw the Trevor Sorbie Brilliant Brunette Hair Mask in the clearance section for £2 so I picked one of those up.

I apologise that the pictures aren't the great - I'm really not the best at photographing clothes and they were taken when I was back home so I had to make the most of different rooms and space. I will however, more than likely be featuring most of the clothing in outfit of the days coming very soon so you'll be able to see them a little bit better. I'd just quickly like to say a massive thank you to Westfield for the gift card - it was incredibly kind of them and I had a great day in the wonderful shopping centre. The Westfield gift card is a great idea - you can spend it at most of the stores inside the centre which means you have a lot of variety and choice. Have you ever been to a Westfield centre before?

The gift card was gifted to me free of charge so a lot of the items mentioned were essentially PR samples. However, I wasn't asked to blog about my visit and all items were chosen by me.

POLYVORE: Spring daytime fashion

Spring daytime fashion

Spring daytime fashion by bamboozlebeauty
I've been playing around on Polyvore again - guilty! This time, the outfit was centred around Disco Pants. I own my own cheap eBay pair but they don't have the ever-so-famous button and zip on them so I'm currently on the look out for some new ones. I'm addicted to them. I think they're easy to wear, comfortable and extremely stylish. As soon as saw the New Look blouse, I fell in love. I think it's a great way to "dress up" an outfit and I love Peter Pan Collars - they're adorable. The bag, shoes and sunglasses give the outfit a little bit of colour and also match perfectly together. I chose Britney's Island Fantasy fragrance as it's a recent purchase of mine. Fragrance finishes an outfit off for me and this one is perfect for Spring/Summer in the day time as it's light, fruity and fresh.

POLYVORE: Cat wishlist

Cat wishlist



I love cats. There's no doubting that. And I'm loving all of the cat clothing that's making its way onto the high street at the minute. So I thought I'd compile a Polyvore wishlist with all of the cat clothing I'm currently lusting over - oh student loan, I do wish you'd hurry up! I'm in desperate need of the Topshop and Dorothy Perkins jumpers, the River Island skirt and the New Look tshirt. What do you think about the cat clothing trend? Do you love cats? Post your favourite cat items below.

POLYVORE: Day Time Casual

Day time casual



At the moment, I'm completely obsessed with Polyvore. If you're not familiar with the website then it's basically a wonderful, magical place where you can create fashion/beauty related collages. You simply choose a template and then search through thousands of items to create your latest must-have outfit. The collage above are items that I'm currently lusting over. I'm obsessed with disco pants at the moment. I do have a cheaper version but they don't have the famous zip and button so as soon as my student loan goes in, I'm buying some cheap "real" disco pants. One thing that I've been loving wearing recently is slogan t-shirts. Since losing weight I've felt a bit more comfortable with my body and t-shirts are so comfortable. I also love oversized jumpers to throw over the top and I believe that this jumper from Fashion Union is perfect - I just wished it matched the shoes! Finally, I've accessorised with gold jewellery and a beautiful, large bag.

Dresses & End of University

I'm finally free from university! Well the course anyway. I never want to be free from the social side of things. So yes, I've completed my first year of university and damn, it feels good. I'm ready to go out on a spending spree! I'm in need of a new wardrobe but first, I need to buy myself an outfit to wear for our last night out on Thursday. These are the outfits that I love from New Look...
1, 2, 3, 4
And these are the ones I love from Dorothy Perkins...
1, 2, 3, 4
However, I'll also be looking in Primark because it's definitely one of my favourite shops. Which of the above is your favourite?

EDIT - I went into town and there was none of these in stock and none of the shops had anything that I liked. So annoyed! But I'm going to go back in tomorrow and hopefully, this will be in stock.

Currently Lusting Over..

The recent sun (maybe not so much the rain) has really been getting me in the 'dress mood' lately. I don't post about fashion often on this blog and that's mainly because I don't believe I'm a fashionable person. But either way, I do love clothes! These are my pick of the best dresses on the high street at the moment. I also apologise for the quality of some of the images.
Top to bottom, left to right; 
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
