Juju Jellies!

Hi guys, i just got a new laptop charger so i am now able to post once again!

I just want to talk about the hottest footwear trend around at the minute.. Jelly Sandals!

I know for sure i wasn't the only child who used to wear these when they were little. No idea where they ventured to but they seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth. But don't panic, they are back on trend years later! Isn't it funny how fashion is on one big cycle?

For those of you who completely missed the jelly shoe period in time, they are these rubbery plasticy type of sandal that are just so amazing. I am not at all doing them any justice so i will just have to insert some pics!





All pictures found on google- they are not mine!
They look amazing with contrasting frilly socks. I want a black, glittery, orange, baby pink, bright pink, mint green and light blue pair! Newlook do £9.99 dupes in a small selection of colours, but you can find Juju's in Asos, Debenhams, Office, Urban Outfitters and American Apparel.

Do you like the 80/90's jelly shoe trend? with or without socks?

July 2013 Plank challenge! | Fitness for summer

I know this is a day late but i have just realised, a new month means for a new lifestyle option!

Me and my friend have decided to start exercising more to tone up and just be healthier. I made this calendar for the month of July for us to follow, it starts off super easy but as the month progresses, it gets harder but I'm so determined.

I'm printing this schedule off and putting it up in my room to tick off when i complete the plank each day, I'm also saving it to my phone and laptop so motivate me to stick to it. We are starting to jog on a weekly basis as well as some other exercises too like sit ups and squats. I know we are not tuhe only ones who want a toned tummy! (This is our choice, i am in no way saying you have to do it to look good as people of all sizes are still beautiful!!!) Will you be using this plank challenge throughout the month of July? or changing it to another exercise to fit you?!

If using this picture please ignore the dates as they are wrong, i missed the first two days hence i could fit this to my schedule easily and have only just spotted the mmistake!

Cut-Out Demi Wedges | EBAY find!

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear Demiiiii, happy birthday to me. A day late but who only celebrates their birthday for one day? Not me that's for sure!


It was my birthday yesterday (25/06/2013) and i turned 17! hoorahhh some may say, still young but old enough to drive a car.. i wish i could share this excitement. Of course I'll be learning to drive etc but i don't want to get any older, i wanna stay young forever :(!

 

 

Anyway, for my birthday i asked for a beautiful pair of heel/wedges and ironically they are called 'Demi wedges'! How cool, a pair of shoes with the same name as you? don't tell me that you wouldn't get super OTT excited about that!

I ordered them myself but my mum paid for them so i could chose the colour and size etc.
I chose the white pair as i don't own white heels at all. They are called 'demi wedges' as their heels are cut out and kinda half heeled and demi meaning 'half' in french kinda suited the style.

They were £22.99 including P&P (really quick postage too-*bonus*) which is not bad at all for a pair of killer heels. They are high and me being fairly tall they push me way past the 6 foot mark but i love them that much it doesn't bother me that i look like a giant!

Fragrance Direct | Mini Beauty Haul

Hi guys!

The other week my order from Fragrance Direct came through the post and i just wanna show you what i got..

For those of you who don't know, Fragrance Direct is an online website that sell makeup, perfume, bath and body stuff, hair products etc, for a low cost.

I can't remember exactly how i came across them but i have been ordering with them since January and i absolutely love what they have to offer, it's a good place for all you beauty testers who want to try new things but cant justify forking out £10 for a lipstick that you may hate (or am i the only one who feels this way?!)


Since January, my order's ALWAYS consist of Essie nail polishes because at £1.99 a bottle, you can get 3 or 4 for the same price as you'd pay for just 1 bottle in boots etc.

This time round i got the shades 'Fear or Desire' a vibrant neon orange-perfect for the upcoming summer months, and i also got 'Off The Shoulder'- a very girly, pretty pink!

RRP each: £7.99 in boots

I have been wanting to try the Kate Moss Lipsticks from Rimmel and when i saw them on the website i just couldn't say no, so i got 2.

RRP: £5.49
Not very summery shades, but gorgeous colours eh?

I also picked up a cheap mascara, i used to used this and i actually really liked it considering how cheap it was, it lengthens my lashes whilst thickening them at the roots given a nice coat of product.7

Including packaging, i think i spent £14 which is so amazing when it should have come to at least £20!

Have you bought anything from Fragrance Direct? Or tried any of these products?
