scallop shorts

I am a massive fan of Scallop shorts mainly because I think they are great to dress up or dress down. Below are some shorts that I have recently come across and rather liked.
These shorts are called 'Zollin Scallop Hem Shorts' from missguided, they currently retail for £19.99 and I absolutely love them. I think they are so fun because they are such a cool colour, I love block colours because like I said before they are really fun. I think these shorts are better to dress up rather than dress down, but that is just my opinion.

These shorts are called 'Scallop Waist Detail Shorts' from Miss Selfridge, they currently retail at   £17.00, reduced from £32.00. I love these because I feel as though they are kind of summery because of the light colour so I personally wouldn't wear them in this season, but that is just me so you may feel differently.

These shorts are called 'Boutique Lizzie Scalloped Hem Beaded Shorts' from Boohoo, they are currently retailing at £25.00. I think these shorts are beautiful but I wouldn't dress them down because I think they are just too 'jazzy' for everyday wear and I would wear them if I was going to a party or a meal, but that is just me.

kms freebies

I was in the hairdressers and while I was having my hair done I was telling the hairdresser about my blog and she said she would give me a sample of a new Shampoo and Conditioner they were trying out. I just want to tell you that this is not a sponsored post, I just wanted to review them because they are great.

The salon is sponsored by KMS California and that is the brand of the products.

About a week ago I tried these little samples and I have fell in love with them. Like I said before, they are great. The samples are fairly small but I still haven't finished them yet and I've used them both about 4 times; I also have a ridiculous tendency to use a stupid amount of product at a time.

These products left my hair feeling so smooth and smelt great, another one of my stupid tendencies is to smell things and I adored the smell of my hair. It left my hair with volume, thickness and a great texture.

I can't stand my hair being greasy and I have to condition my hair and this ColourVitality duo match my every needs.

If I ever see these products, I will certainly be purchasing them. I would recommend these products to everyone.

sunday portrait 1

This is a new thing that I'm going to do; each week I will post a photo of myself and tell you about my week, what things I've done, what I've bought, etc. So here goes week #1...



001. OK well I have been ill for the past week and today was no exception. I have such a sore throat, a really chesty cough and my whole body aches. The only thing that can possibly help this out is paracetamol and retail therapy. To be perfectly honest, I was expecting some sort of fatal illness (I'm exaggerate a lot, drama queen) when Halloween is approaching as it happens every year, is it some sort of sign that I'm not supposed to *celebrate* Halloween. Hopefully I will be better for Halloween because if not I am not prepared to go out in the cold for a couple of hours when I feel like I'm dying.

002. This week has been a good week for my bank account but a awful week for my make up bag and wardrobe. I have bought absolutely nothing apart from Vitamin Water and paracetamol, such fun.

003. The highlight of my week has got to be today, when I went down to the Newcastle Quayside Market; I absolutely loved going down when I was little. I went for a quick walk along the market (I did have to buy some vitamin water from the bus station to give myself some fuel) then walked into the main city centre for Starbaaaaks. There is nothing better than the Starbucks Signature Hot Chocolate and Chocolate Chunk Cookie on a cold day. I wrapped up warm in my winter jumper, UGGs and Barbour. Every Saturday without fail practically, I go out and I can't believe I stayed in yesterday.

004. Despite everything this week has been pretty good because on Friday I broke up for half term, a week off school; which means not waking up at 7:00am and I get to spend my days shopping and blawging! Oh yeah and Hannah Pickup (@madeforpickup) followed and tweeted me on my personal twitter.
