Boohoo Dress Wishlist - September

Hello everyone! Today I'm here with a more fashiony post, as I was browsing through the Boohoo dress section and came across these beauties, so I thought I would show you! Also, the skirt I have been wanting for absolutely ages so I thought I would include that too :)

I've loved Boohoo for over a year and haven't had a complaint with any of the clothes I've ordered (minus a pair of shorts but they didn't fit me so I just sent them back.) The clothes arrive within a couple of days with standard delivery, the clothes are very reasonably priced and they are all high quality! The website is also super easy to use, overall it's my favourite online shop and I'm always on, so I thought I'd let you all know in case you have never heard of it before!

Anyway, onto my top picks..

Sorry for the crappy collage, it was my first attempt, I'll get better, I promise!

1) Mandy Ditsy V Back Button Detail Smock Dress - £20

What can I say, I'm a sucker for daisies. After seeing the new trend pop up in every store, I was throughly happy to see Boohoo have a cute daisy dress for £20 that I could wear to Uni, with thick tights and boots or on a night out with some heels and a leather jacket. YAY.

2) Selma Cap Sleeve Jersey Swing Dress - £12

I don't usually go for this type of dress but seeing that loose fitting dresses are the hype, I thought I would search for one that would be, again, suitable to wear to Uni. What attracted me to this dress was that it's a reasonably good length, coming just above the knees and also the colour, it's a gorgeous grape purple colour and I actually don't own that many purple things, so I thought it would be a nice change.

3) Ruby Oversized Smock Dress - £15

What I really like about this dress is that it's big. The main thing I hate about dresses is sometimes they are just so tight in certain areas *ahem* boobage *ahem* and you feel like you can't breathe, and also because I'm so tall (near enough 6 ft) some dresses barely cover my bum.. However this dress is designed to be large and flowy and long, which I just think is perfect for everyday wear, especially since I'm a student that has to climb hills everyday, and I don't particularly want anyone seeing up my dress!

4) Tia Tartan Cap Sleeve Smock Dress - £20

All I see other people blog about is tartan is BACK BABY! I personally am loving this trend, especially because I'm Scottish myself so I'm all up for supporting  a trend that came from my home country! I love that it's red and black because I can see myself wearing a big dufflecoat, thick tights and some black boots in the winter.. See I've not even bought it and I know exactly what I'm going to wear with it. I have problems guys.

5) Lisa Woodland Print Chiffon Smock Dress - £20

This dress is definitely my favourite out of them all. I absolutely adore the detailing and design and I just cannot say good enough things about this dress! It comes in black with the white detailing also but I just think the white with black detailing is more versatile, so I could wear this in spring and summer too.

6) Rhona Tartan Check Skater Skirt - £15

Finally, last but certainly not least, this little beauty! Again with the tartan trend, I just adore this skirt. I think it will pretty much go with everything and I just love the colours together, so pretty and it will be lovely for the darker months.

So that's about it for this post, thank you for reading and I hope you like this new style, I want to do one of these posts every week where I show you what styles I'm liking from different shops! I focussed in on one store today but I'll be branching out in my next one! What style trends are you loving for Autumn/Winter? I think you can see what I'm loving.. 

Have a lovely day and don't stop smiling. :)

FOTD + OOTD #1 - Pretty in Pink - 07/09/13

Hello everyone! Today I'm here to show you an outfit I was wearing last week for going into town and then to dinner with my boyfriend and his family, and what make-up I was wearing.

Sorry about the lighting. :(

Top: Forever 21
Jeans: Topshop

I actually forgot I owned this top and I'm not one for wearing pink, or colours in general to be honest - if you look at my wardrobe the majority of t-shirts/shirts/jumpers are white, grey or black.. Aka my comfort zone. However, today I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and wear this gorgeous pink sweatshirt (it's not thick enough to be a jumper in my eyes) with some demin jeans. I also wore a black leather jacket that I got from Topshop years ago and some black Sperrys. 

I really wanted to show a closer up picture of my top because the detailing is honestly stunning, for Forever 21 I was so impressed with the quality and detailing, considering it was something like $20 in New York.. It's a beautiful baby pink colour with scalloped edges and lace detailing (also scalloped) across the front of the top, with long sleeves (I have them rolled up) and the back is just the plain baby pink. This could be dressed up or down, paired with jeans or a skirt and heels, it's very versatile and basically I just love this top and I'm happy I rediscovered it.

List of make-up:

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in 001 Transparent

Mac Paint Pot in Painterly

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 Hr in 35 On and on Bronze

Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in 012 Bronze and 005 Nude

No7 Exquisite Curl Mascara in Black

Rimmel Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liner in 063 Eastend Snob

Mac Cremesheen Lipstick in Crème Cup

I had my every-day make-up on, except today I decided to smoke my eyes up a bit more, just by putting on a bit more of the Maybelline Color Tattoo and blending it into the crease/outer corner more. I also matched my lipstick to my top as I adore Crème Cup and wear it anytime I can and today seemed like the perfect opportunity!

I think that's it for this post, I hope you like these FOTD/OOTD type posts as I seem to be doing these a lot now! I hope you all have a lovely day and don't stop smiling. :)

The Little Things in Life..

Hello everyone! I don't have a typical beauty(ish) post today, it's more of a peek into my life kinda post. I've recently been poorly, with.. Well, the doctors said a cold but it's not a cold, I had a sore throat and really bad ear ache, to the point where my whole head would just be throbbing and I'd constantly be tired and sore and moody and not really sure what to do with myself.

What makes matters worse is I've had this ear ache on and off for about a week and it still hasn't shifted, and now I have some sort of stomach bug where my stomach is like NOPE to everything I eat. Typical me getting sick a couple of weeks before I go back to Uni!

Anyway, you are probably wondering 'why the flowers Hannah?' Well, my lovely boyfriend came over for dinner and brought me round flowers for feeling poorly and for my Mum because she was making us all her famous spag bol! So I just kinda thought the next day, why not take pictures of the flowers? It's nice to take pictures of what makes you happy, so if you are ever looking back you can smile and remember (in my case) that this is the first time my boyfriend has bought me flowers, and they are beautiful :)

So.. I don't really know what the point of this post was.. Except for take pictures of things that make you happy, take pictures of happy memories and happy times so if you are ever sad, down, stressed, anxious, angry.. Or you just want a reason to smile, you can look back and see the pictures you took and remember those memories, and without realising you'll be smiling from ear to ear.

I'll leave you with about ten billion pictures of my flowers now (they are pretty though so they deserve this many photos) and I'll have a new blog post up in 2 days :)

Have a lovely day and don't stop smiling :)

Hannah, xx
