20th Birthday Wishlist

Thursday, 4 January 2018

Hey y'all!

So if you didn't know my birthday is coming up SO SOON, the 18th of January if you would like to know, and I am turning the big 20!!! I am so not ready to turn 20, as I'll no longer be a typical teenager, but I'm excited to see where my twenties are going to take me!

As my birthday is coming up, I decided to create a little wish list of items that I have been loving for a while, and if I received one of these items for my birthday I would be so stoked as I think they're all super cute, and things I would use on a daily basis. Especially the cat lady figure.... I mean, who wouldn't love that? If y'all would like to purchase these items for yourself then I'll link everything below!

Some items are affordable, and others are more on the expensive side.... *cough, cough dream guitar*. Please take this post with a grain of salt, and I hope you enjoyed reading!

Country Music Festival LookBook: King Ranch Saddle Shop #AD

Friday, 5 August 2016



Hey loves! Recently a lovely store called 'King Ranch Saddle Shop', all the way from Texas may I add, inspired me to share with you what I would wear to a country music festival. 

As you know I love country music, and attended the country music festival, 'Country 2 Country', in March at the O2 Arena in London. Since then I have gained so much inspiration for the 'country' style, and how to wear it here in Britain where it rains 24/7. I've recently picked up a couple of pieces which I think bring out my country side, and this video was the perfect opportunity to share them with you. (Outfit details are linked in my video!)

New Specs #4eyes

Saturday, 13 February 2016

Glasses: here // Polaroid book: here // Cat mug (similar): here

I love my new prescription glasses by 'Cheap Monday'. The subtle cat eye and tortoiseshell frame is the perfect match for any outfit and is a statement piece without being too distracting. Originally these glasses were sunglass frames, but you can easily have them popped out and have your prescription lens put in. Specsavers currently have so many fashionable and pretty pairs of glasses frames so if you're in need to a new pair check out their different ranges!

Here Comes Autumn (OOTD)

Wednesday, 27 August 2014





Well hello there everyone, I haven't blogged in such a long while now have I? July 23rd to be exact, jeez. I do apologise as I have missed blogging and YouTubing for a long while. I just decided to take a bit of time off for myself and not worry over making a video or writing a blog post. I'm not saying that I find this hobby stressful or annoying by the way, I love it, but we all need a bit of me time right?

So what have I been doing for the past month now then? Ummm, not much. I watched the whole of The Walking Dead Season 4 in a two days, I watched the whole of Orange Is The New Black Season 1 in two days, I watched both seasons of Nashville in two days. Now who is committed there?! I haven't just been watching TV shows though. My family and I are awaiting the arrival of my sisters baby Mason, remember him? I talked about him agesss ago. My sister is 12 days over and is going into hospital tomorrow to try and pop this baby out. I can't wait until I meet him. 

Also, I have been sorting out various things for back to school (videos to come), I am now going into my A-Levels.... send help. I'm excited really (and terrified). I also got my GCSE results, 3A's, 5B's and 3C's. There were many tears on results day as unfortunately I did not pass my maths, again. So you can probably tell that I was totally pee'd off at myself as I now have to resit and revise for it again, whilst doing my A-Levels. Only 8 more weeks of maths, hopefully (wish me luck).

As we are now heading into Autumn now (queue confetti and cheers of joy) I have been bringing out all of my autumn/winter clothes (again party time). If you didn't know I clearly love Autumn and Winter. I honestly don't know why but I obsess over it. Who can't wait until Halloween!?!? I live in Wales as you know (if you don't, welcome. Hi. Aloha. Shwmae - bit of Welsh for ya there) it rains almost 90% of the time, but we have had so much sun recently it's ridiculous. I hate the sun, no I am not a vampire I just love the rain (an excuse to stay inside).

I absolutely love this outfit I made. This was the kind of outfit you do when you're in a rush and you just pray that you look decent. I genuinely feel like this is an autumn appropriate and pretty nice outfit. The flannel/check shirt is from Peacocks in the sale, but you kind find these almost everywhere. (Long time flannel shirt lover here.) The top underneath is from New Look, again I got this in the sale, so I am not too sure if they still have this, fingers crossed! 

My bag is from Matalan, I bought this around 1 to 2 years ago, so I have no idea where you could get this now (again, sorry). I absolutely love this bag. If you didn't know I love the whole retro, 'country' style, it's so flattering and comfortable. I will be doing an What's In My Autumn Bag video/post, so don't you worry about that woo! 

Anyway, this is much longer than a usual outfit post would be, but I just wanted to catch up with you guys because I <3 a="" day.="" have="" wonderful="" you.="">

Pandora Tiara Ring

Thursday, 19 June 2014

Oh Pandora. How beautiful you are. I have always wanted to receive or buy a piece of jewellery from Pandora. I especially love the Pandora rings and bracelets. Every single piece of jewellery from Pandora is effortlessly elegant and classy. It looks amazing with everything you wear and is just lovely to look at.

Recently my parents picked up the Pandora Tiara Ring for me as a baptism present and I was besotted at how kind they were to do that for me, and beautiful the ring is. I was actually there when we bought the ring, but I wasn't expecting to actually purchase it. I was just doing some 'window shopping' as they say. 

I was taken by two rings, the Tiara ring and the Pink Romance ring. Both rings are gorgeous and I just couldn't decide! The man who helped us through the process asked if it was the very first Pandora item I have ever bought and I obviously said yes. He then told me to buy the Tiara ring as it is the most well known ring for Pandora. So, I obviously agreed and bought the ring.

So here we are, I have the Tiara ring, and I wear it every single day. I just think that this ring is so beautiful and girly, I just love it. My parents went all cheesy on me and said that they bought me a tiara ring because I am their princess. *Giant face palm x10*. Bless their hearts though. I am definitely going to be shopping at Pandora many more times as I absolutely love their bracelets!

Have you ever bought something from Pandora, if so, what did you get?
