VIDEO // Bournemouth Vlog

You may know that I went to Bournemouth for the weekend with my friend Jess not so long ago.  I vlogged the trip which was a bit scary as I've never filmed myself in public before!  It's pretty cringey and not typically 'blogger-y' as I get a little drunk and make a bit of a tit of myself, but I hope you like it anyway, I'd really appreciate it if you'd subscribe to my channel (:

I FELL IN LOVE AT THE SEASIDE

Sunglasses // Topshop (I think)
Top* // Trippy Tuesdays
Skirt // American Apparel
Inflatable backpack // eBay
Jelly Shoes // Juju

If you didn't already know, my friend Jess and I took a little road trip down to Bournemouth on saturday as her dad has a lovely apartment there.  We went out in the evening and sunbathed (very hungover) on the beach the next day.  These are the first outside outfit photos I've actually liked so I might start venturing outside more often!  This is just a really relaxed beach outfit so there aren't a lot of details (ie. jewellery) plus I'm totally hungover in the photos which is why I'm just kind of..standing there.  I wanted to go for a 90's look while keeping it simple and suitable for the beach, which is why I picked the crop top and skirt but added some jelly sandals and my inflatable backpack which I think is so cool!

VIDEO // Waves Tutorial & GHD Style & Protect Review

So I received the amazing ghd Style & Protect gift set recently and instead of just reviewing it I thought I would demonstrate them in a video!  I'm not at all confident with curling tongs as I hardly use them, but I tried my best and actually really like how it turned out, definitely will be using them more often.  My hair was so shiny and smooth after using the ghd set so definitely gave me a confidence boost, as it usually is just matt because it's quite damaged.  Hope you like the video!

HAUL // To Die For Bikini

Sugar Daisy Bikini* - To Die For

So with summer coming up I really wanted to share my brand new bikini with you guys!  It's from online shop To Die For and they do an incredible selection of holidaywear.  I picked the Sugar Daisy set because I'm really into neon at the moment, and it always makes the palest of skintones look that little bit more sunkissed.  To Die For are a Swedish brand who have a patented design, with the bikini bottoms designed to 'lift' your booty, to get a better fit, and can I tell you they are successful in their venture, the bikini looks amazing on! (although I'm afraid I'm not quite confident enough to show you guys).  The online shop has a range of this bikini in different colour combinations as well as other designs and some gorgeous swimsuits if bikini's aren't your thing.  Check out the shop here, which is your favourite item?

Catch up

Sorry about the bad quality pic! - Source

Hiya! Just a quick catch up as I don't have much time to post.  I'm now back at school which I'm gutted about, the holidays went by so fast!  They were amazing anyway, so I'm happy about that aspect, but I also did absolutely no revision so a big catch up is due, especially with art, as I'm supposed to know what I'm doing for my final piece already and I have no clue!  These factors will mean that my posts will be less frequent and probably shorter and less quality but I'll try my absolute hardest! 

Anyway, I went to Bournemouth again yesterday as my mum decided we were going to have a family day out, to spend some time together as a collective as we don't get to do it often, because my step-dad is always at work, one of my brothers is at boarding school, the other is at golf all the time and I spend a lot of time out and tend to avoid too much family at once!  It was good though, nice to spend some time with the whole family, even though it isn't as fun as going with your friends!

I also want to say a massive thank you to all my followers.  I know there may not be too many of you, a humble 25, but you all mean the world to me.  All the comments I get on my posts are so lovely and really make me feel like the effort I put into my blogging and stuff is worthwhile and that I'm part of the community? (as cheesy as that sounds!).  But yeah, I will try and keep up the good posts so look forward that I guess (:

Bournemouth

Sorry guys, didn't get to post the beach pictures yesterday!  I was procrastinating the whole day then when it came to creating the post the photos were taking mega long to upload and then I got told to go to bed cause I had to get up at 7am today as mums dragging me off to the gym again.  I went yesterday, and if you're a follower of my Twitter you'll know that I left my iPhone on the train on the way to Bournemouth, thus I didn't have an iPod to take to the gym.  My mum was kind enough to lend me hers so I synced all my music, got to the gym, started listening and to my dismay the iPod cut out before I'd even finished listening to one song.  Turns out the battery is ruined as it is constantly charging on the iPod dock, which is really bad for them.  I had to listen to the 'gym' music so had no exercise motivation whatsoever so didn't really get a great workout, then when Justin Bieber started playing I just could not go on haha.

Anyway, Bournemouth was actually really great! I took a load of photos, which are, obviously, above and also on my flickr.  Sorry if the post takes ages to load, I kind of overloaded photowise!  But yeah, one of the best days out in a while, was just really relaxed and got to socialise properly, rather than catching the train to Camberley and sitting in a skanky park or some run down car park.  It turned out to be really sunny and nice, and it turns out that someone found my phone on the train and they are supposedly mailing it back to me which is so lucky!  So everything turned out incredibly well!  Also, my friend Louis (who should definitely get a flickr or something!) has recently got into making little films, and he's really good!  He video'd our day in Bournemouth and I got him to upload it to a public site rather than Facebook so I could share it.  Its just above and I suggest you watch it, he's so talented, and it's a really lovely video(:
