The Vamps World Tour - 2015

Last night I went to see The Vamps on their world tour supported by The Fooo Conspiracy, The Tide and Union J. If you've been reading my blog for a while you will know that I saw The Vamps last year and since they were great I 100% wanted to see them again.

Out of the three support acts which were all amazing I have to say I enjoyed The Tides set the most mainly because I was a huge fan before last night.If you haven't heard of The Tide they are four cheeky american boys signed by The Vamps. The boys also held a signing during the day which I also attended and they were all so lovely and sweet. Here are some photos of them from the concert:

Overall the concert was immense. Each support act was amazing and The Vamps are just incredible live. The amount of energy they have on stage whilst still singing wonderfully is insane. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I look forward to seeing them again soon.

Monochrome OOTD: H&M bag

In today's post I will be showing you my OOTD based around a gorgeous black bag from H&M and everything monochrome. I picked up this bag at the weekend and as soon as I saw it I knew it was what I had been searching for, for months now. It is a simple black bag with gold hard wear and a detachable strap which in my eyes looks very smart and sophisticated. Enjoy!

Outfit details:

Plaid Shirt - New Look

New York Tank Top - River Island

Black Highwaisted Joni Jeans - Topshop

Shoes - White Converse

Thank you for reading and thank you to my brother for being my photographer!

Sam Smith Tour - March 2015

Two weeks ago today my Mum and I with two other family friends went to see Sam Smith and he was incredible. For an extra little blog post I thought I would share some of the photos I took while I was there, enjoy!

I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would highly recommend going to see Sam if he is coming to your city soon! He is a beautiful singer who in my opinion sounds even better live:) Thank you Sam for a wonderful night

My Favourite Fashion Items From High Street Stores - Spring 2015

Recently I have found myself starting to get more and more into fashion and clothing. In the past you would always see me in a t-shirt and jeans but now I am more into this whole fashion thing. For this weeks post since I have been seeing a lot of gorgeous clothing in store windows lately, I thought I would show the fashion pieces that I wish were in my wardrobe from the high street. Here are the items that have caught my eye recently:

The first two things that I love would look beautiful worn together or worn with different outfits. Although I have never owned a midi skirt this black and grey printed one would be perfect for a special occasion or event. It can be found here. The black crop top is also a staple piece that can be worn with jeans, shorts, skirts and pretty much any piece! Most high street stores sell plain black crop tops but the one shown is from Topshop and can be found here.

 I have been loving monochrome outfits lately so I guess that's why this black and white top with a grid print caught my eye. Paired with either black, white or blue denim jeans your outfit will look smart and chic but in reality, it is so simple. It can be found here.

Since spring and summer are right around the corner this cute floral playsuit would be the perfect outfit to keep cool as well as looking fabulous! The floral print is also perfect for any festivals coming up and I love how the lace gives it a slightly bohemian feel. Buy it here.

The last item that has caught my eye is this necklace set from Urban Outfitters. I am loving the layered necklace trend and these necklaces are simple but truly beautiful. The dainty shapes and chains would give a touch of elegance to many outfits. They can be found here

Birthday Haul

Since in February it was my birthday, as promised in my last post here's what I gratefully received:

Here are some of the makeup products I received. My brother bought me the Shu Uemura eyelash curler and it is hands down the best eye curler I have ever tried. My eyelashes stay long and curled all day! Thank you Bro.

With a MAC gift card given to me by my friends I picked up the clear Brow Set and so far I am seriously impressed. It keeps my brows in place without them feeling crunchy.

One of my other friends was kind enough to buy me the Nars Laguna bronzer. I wasn't too sure if this would suit my skin tone as I have a very pale complexion and thought this would be too dark, but boy oh boy was I wrong! This bronzer brings warmth to my skin and is great for contouring as it has a matte finish. 

With a Debenhams gift card I also picked up the original Naked Basics palette. I picked it up as it has all the shadows I would need if I was travelling. It also is just full of beautiful natural shadows that I can use on a day-to-day basis.

My parents bought me a couples items from Zoella Beauty which I have been loving. The Soak Opera shower gel is a beautiful smelling body wash and comes in a large container so should hopefully last me a long time! The makeup bag is the cutest thing and I shall be taking it with me if I am ever travelling.

Two other friends also gave me a makeup bag and this handy little nail set! The makeup bag could also be used as a purse or clutch which I think is great and the nail set is full of goodies to keep your nails in tip top condition.

Thank you for reading and thank you to everyone who bought me a present or said happy birthday, I am very lucky to be surrounded by such amazing people.

Would You Rather - The Beauty Edition

This weeks blogpost is going to be a bit more of a chatty post, I will be doing Would You Rather - The Beauty Edition! Okay let's begin:)

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, lip glosses, lipsticks and eyeliners or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadow?

Lose all of my palettes and eyeshadows. As much as I love them lipsticks/lip glosses, eyeliner and mascara are my essentials. I can live without my eyeshadow but not without mascara!

2. Would you rather chop off all of your hair or never be able to get it cut again?

Chop it all off! I couldn't live with hair dragging at my feet when I'm like 70!

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

A coral cheek as I think it suits my pale complexion and red hair.

4. If you won £1000 would you rather spend it on clothes or makeup?

Oh man that is a toughie...I am going to have to say clothes as I have quite a lot of makeup and I'm sure even after I've spent the £1000 I would still carry on buying makeup anyway! I don't buy new clothes as often so I would love to revamp my wardrobe. 

5. Would you rather use lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick?

Lipstick as eyeliner and I have no idea why, lipstick as eyeliner is just popping out to me ahah!

6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

Sephora, as much as I love MAC I couldn't just use the one brand, I enjoy trying products from lots of different brands.

7. Would you rather just use one eyeshadow colour or lip colour for the rest of your life?

One eyeshadow colour as lipsticks and experimenting with lip colours is one of my favourite things about makeup and if I used a simple cream/beige colour eyshadow I could basically rock any lip colour!

8. Would you rather wear Winter clothes in Summer or Summer clothes in Winter?

Winter clothes in summer. I hardly wear summer clothes in the summer anyway unless I am abroad somewhere really hot. It takes a lot to see me in summer clothes during the summer months in the UK!

9. Would you rather wear dark nails or bright nails all year round?

Dark nails as I prefer darker shades on my nails like burgundy or a deep grey or purple.

10. Would you rather give up your favourite lip product or eye product?

Eye product, I think we have established now that no one is taking my lip products away ahah!

11. Would you rather only wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?

In a ponytail as that's what I wear most days and can do easily.

12. Would you rather never use nail polish again or never use lip gloss?

Never use nail polish again. I don't paint my nails that often and when they are painted I normally get them done at a salon as I don't trust myself to do a good job, I also love the look of my natural nails without polish.

Thank you all for reading, I hope you enjoyed! Next weeks blogpost will be a birthday haul so keep your eyes peeled:)

Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue, Here Is A Valentines Blog Post From Me To You

Today's blog post will be about all things red and blue. I will be showing you some of my favourite products and fashion items which are perfect for Valentines Day! Red is perfect for full on Hollywood glam or it can be used subtly and blue is great for something edgier or casual. Here are my ideas on everything red and blue you will ever need for Valentines:

Roses are red...

My first red must have for Valentines Day is the Nicky Clarke straighteners. These will allow a fast, easy way to style your hair if you're going out on a date or if you just want to look nice around the house.

Three stunning red nail polishes are Bright Red and Raspberry from Barry M and this glittery varnish from Claire's Accessories.

A perfume which will make sure you are smelling wonderful is Dot from Marc Jacobs. If you are a fan of fruity and florally scents this one is for you! 

These red jeggings are perfect for a date night. Wear them with a t-shirt for a casual look or pair them with a black long sleeve crop top and chunky jewellery to dress it up.

Violets are blue...

My first blue product is for when you are back from your date and are getting ready to crash into bed. This Estee Lauder eye makeup remover is a great product to get off all the glitter/eyeliner/smokey eye shadow that we will all be rocking this Valentines Day.

Three of my favourite blue nail polishes are Aqua Cool from Rimmel, Denim from Barry M and a sparkly bluey grey from Accessorize.

Contrast from MAC is a beautiful deep blue eye shadow. A blue smokey eye and a nude lip would look absolutely stunning. If winged liner and a bold red lip isn't your thing this is a just as stunning alternative.

If you aren't keen on a blue smokey eye, a neutral eye with a pop of blue liner would look super pretty! The Aqua Glitter eyeliner pencil from NYX is a lovely shade to use to achieve this.

Seeing as it is February this blue circle scarf from Accessorize will keep you warm if you are planning on going out. 

Thank you for reading and I hope you all have a wonderful Valentines Day
