ASOS HAUL!!!

So I planned on having this post out quite a while ago but I never got around to taking the photos so it has been sat in my drafts for too long and thought I’d finally post it today. I did a fairly large order off the Asos sale and there was just so much I wanted I had to try my best to limit myself slightly, there were just so many bargains I did struggle! But I thought I’d tell you all what I bought with a few photos. I did buy the lace gloves I was in love with when I last blogged about Asos and in truth I doubt I’ll ever wear them but there so soft and pretty I can’t bear to send them back! There a great vintage looking accessory as well I think they'd be great for a fancy garden party or maybe a summer wedding so you never know maybe I will be able to wear them! I also bought two pairs of shorts, one an orange tweed style that look great with nude heels and one pair for the beach which are black and extremely high leg. A duck egg blue skirt with a gingerbread man print, in my ootd post (I wore it the day I got it, thought it was so cute and as I love baking very apt), and floral kimono/blazer which I was apprehensive about but love now it’s arrived (also in my an OOTD post a great sort of summery throw over for when it’s not that warm but you still want something bright and pretty), a gold/cream jumper to keep for the colder months and a gorgeous teal blue cut out playsuit which I am going to save for my holiday! And I think that’s everything but if I have forgotten anything ill have a little edit to the post and that’s all for now, blog soon!

Rimmel Pro

Ok a fairly quick review tonight as I’m shattered from a day at the beach and a bit of a rave review at that. I absolutely love my new nail polish! It’s a Rimmel Lycra pro in ultra violet. I found the application process very quick, good brush (always love the Rimmel nail polish brushes there the perfect size and shape) and fairly quick drying, this coming from an extremely impatient person! And as I did my nails the night before a beach trip I thought it would be the perfect test time as it would have to contend with heat, sea and sand, not to mention the shower after a beach trip! And surprisingly it hasn’t chipped at all! I do have a base and top coat on but still has held on brilliantly, I took the picture below after I had put it through the mill a bit so you can see how well it's lasted. Big love for this varnish, think I’ll definitely be out buying some more colours – maybe a coral. . .

Oh ps. you can buy them at boots and there about five pounds :)

Outfit of the day! My first one I’m very excited! Now I’m not sure about the picture quality here so do let me know what you think. The weather in England (or my part at least) is completely miserable, it’s drizzly, grey and I can’t wait to get to another country and some sun (little bit of a moan there sorry!). So unfortunately my summer clothes are remaining in my wardrobe but I thought I’d post my outfit anyway. Today I’m wearing my new Asos skirt; it’s a gentle a line style with a gingerbread man print. I then paired it with a plain black spaghetti strap top and to make the look not to childish I guess I wore my leather jacket too (from international). I thought this gave the look a bit more of an edge rather than a pretty look. I then added my high heeled turn down ankle boots from new look about two years ago but I absolutely love them so have kept them quite a while now.

My jewellery is all silver and quite simple; I went for my h necklace which was a birthday present and a silver pearl bracelet. My makeup is a simple smoky eye and a plum lip, and I left my hair natural and kind of wavy. 

Hope you like,
