ASOS & marc b : E-tail pr competition... ❤


So e-tail pr are running another amazing competition... this time to win £75 to spend on marc b. and £175 to spend on ASOS. I just had to get involved as it's too good to miss. All you have to do is design an outfit round a marc b. bag using ASOS clothing which was really easy as there was loaaaaadds to choose from.


I chose the Tori Black Tote bag as it is beautiful and looks like it's much more expensive than just £59. 
It would fit lots in it but is still really classy for a night out. I designed my outfit for a date night or night out with the girls. The lime dress is beautiful and would be perfect for spring time, I added the black wedges and leather jacket to give it a sort of 'rock-chick' look but you could wear it without the jacket too. I also put a Vivienne Westwood necklace and bracelet with it as they would match the bag really well and the red lipstick contrasts the dress but finishes the outfit off nicely. 


If you're interested in entering the competition click here, hope you enjoyed my post and wish me luck :)

Competition: Win £200 to spend on Lashes of London!


So E-tail web stores has teamed up with Lashes of London to give bloggers the chance to win £200 worth of vouchers to spend on Lashes of London. All you have to do is create a wish list of the things you would like from Lashes of London, which was pretty easy as they have loads of lovely things in just now. You then have to post it on your blog with this link to the website. You then just e-mail the link to your post to bloggers@e-tailwebstores.com. It's as simple as that! :) 

I know I'm probably not in with much of a chance as I don't have great editing software (I do all of my blogging on my ipad, sigh), so my collage doesn't look as great as it could. It was fun making the wish list anyway and I'd love to see your collages if you're going to enter so feel free to comment with a link to it. 

Also if anyone knows any good apps that you can make wish list style collages on (better than mine, ha), please let me know! :)

Wish me Luck! :)

Valentines Post ❤


So I stole this from another blogger (This One to be precise). And basically it's like a tag where you answer questions about things you love (other than your valentine). So here's mine...

14 Things I Love

number one- beauty product...
at the moment I'd probably have to say Rimmel - Apocolips as I'm truly amazed by it see my post 
here for my full review

number two- perfume...
Vera Wang - Princess, simply because it smells beautiful.

number three- shop...
I'm going to have to say Primark. If you go to the right place and it's not like a jumble sale then you can really get some amazing bargains (usually 3 or 4 bags full of them if you're like me).


number four- city...
I'd have to say Glasgow because its probably the one I visit the most. I went to London a couple of times but never for shopping so I would love to go again. Also Barcelona was beautiful.


number five- movie...
This is a hard decision but anything Disney (the rescuers and lady and the tramp in particular), P.S I Love You, The Notebook and most recently Les Miserables and The Vow (see previous posts lol). 

number six- song...
Again a really hard decision - every Glasvegas song. every Ben Howard song and Love you Til the End by The Pogues.

number seven- person...
My Boyfriend - Paul. He's just simply amazing and I'm so lucky as I get to have him as a boyfriend but he's also my best friend!


number eight- hobbie...
Eating, watching movies, reading, blogging and cross stitching. Perhaps I need to get a life lol.


number nine- food...
Crisps!

number ten - drink...

I'd have to say Fanta or flavoured water.

number eleven- designer...
I'm not a huge wearer of designer clothes, I'm more of a high street dresser. But I'd probably have to say Karl Lagerfield (Chanel).


number twelve- day...
I'd probably say Christmas, for so many reasons... presents, loads of food and spending time with loved ones more than usual.

number thirteen- memory...
Meeting Paul and our holiday last Summer.


number fourteen- blog...
Zoella, Sprinke of Glitter and FleurdeForce by far!



i hope you all have a great valentines day! let me know your plans in the comments below? 

           ♥ i tag YOU to answer these questions ♥ 


                      

OOTD; A day with my nephew and my boyfriend!

Outfit of the Day:

So today Paul and I were both off (yay). We decided to get my nephew and take him a walk for a couple of hours to give my sister a break for a while. We then came home and watched 'The Vow' which was amazing, I suggest if you like movies such as 'The Notebook' that you watch this. It was a really nice day and the sun was shining for the first time in what seems like forever. I just thought I'd share with you what I wore today.


Shirt - Primark
Disco Pants - New Look
Converse - Office
(I also wore a coat as although the sun was shining it was still quite cold)




I hope you all enjoyed your Monday as much as I did. :)
