Easy Braided Updo Hairstyle & OOTD!

 What I'm Wearing: CROP TOP, Primark | BLACK TOP, Forever 21 | SHORTS, River Island | BOOTS, River Island | CHOKER, Ebay | BEST BITCHES NECKLACE, Shop Moon Child.

Who would've thought that this beautiful crop was from Primark? The minute I saw it, I knew I needed it for my spring/summer wardrobe! It was only £6 too. The crop top is tye dye and it reminds me of my Urban Outfitters tie dye velvet dress, here. I usually always wear my hair down but I'm making the most of having no roots and trying out lots of beautiful styles. This is a dutch crown braid and I absolutely love it! This style makes me feel like I've just stepped out of Games Of Thrones, haha. I've never watched Games Of Thrones before but I absolutely love Daenerys Targaryen hairstyles!

Do you love tye dye? Do you also love wearing a crown braid?
Love Leah, x x x

Face Of The Day & OOTD

I thought I'd do a quick post today on my makeup because I'm currently loving the Makeup Revolution ultra FLAWLESS palette! Honestly, I wish I discovered this brand sooner because the flawless palette is probably my favourite eyeshadow palette ever. I'll make sure to do a review on it soon because it really is a must have! I'm wearing Benefit's Porefessional primer and Rimmel's stay matte foundation. I also used collection's concealer and Rimmel's clear complexion powder. I have combination skin and all of those products really help keep my skin looking matte through out the day. I love wearing the new creme puff blusher in 'gorgeous berries' from Max Factor (review here). It's honestly my favourite blusher ever. My inner goth came out today so I just had to wear MAC's Cyber lipstick.

What I'm Wearing: GILET Primark | DRESS, Urban Outfitters | NECKLACE, New Look | BOOTS, River Island.

Your looking at the best boots that ever existed. I love these boots and I haven't taken them off since I got them for my birthday last month. They even have fur inside of them! I've always wanted boots like this and I can't believe I found them in the River Island sale. River Island always do the best sales. I also found this Urban Outfitters dress in the sale. I just love black velvet dresses and I just needed to have this in my wardrobe. I don't usually go in Urban Outtfitters as it's just too expensive and I already have no money, haha.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend :) 
Love, Rachel. x

Cross with Roses Top | A New Favourite!

What I'm Wearing: CROP TOP, Primark | SHORTS, River Island | FLATFORMS, River Island


Hi everyone. We're both feeling pretty excited now because it's our 18th birthday tomorrow! Yay! I can't believe it though, I don't even feel that old but hopefully 18 will be a better age for us both. This is just a quick outfit post I thought I'd do because I really love this new crop top from Primark! I just wore a black top under it so I could wear it in the Winter. Plus, I don't think I'd ever wear a crop top by itself! I have my belly button pierced but I'm not too keen on showing it off haha :)  Anyway, this crop top was only £4.50! & it's becoming a favourite of mine already! I love the cross with the roses on it. I think it would make a cool tattoo! What do you think? Seeing as I'm 18 tomorrow that means I can start getting tattoos now!

I love wearing this outfit with my black lace shorts from River Island and of course, my flatforms! They are seriously the best shoes ever. 

Have you found any Primark gems recently?

Boxing Day

What I'm Wearing: FUR COAT, Dorothy Perkins | GILET, Boo Hoo | PLAYSUIT, Topshop | SHOES, Primark | EAR MUFFS, New Look | RING, Gemporia.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I'm kind of upset that it's all over now but I'm so excited for New Year now. Boxing Day is always a great day to relax and today we went to our local park for a long walk to show off our new clothes. I'm wearing my new Dorothy Perkins fur coat. Burgundy is one of my favourite colours so you'll see me in this coat for a while! To keep extra warm, I'm wearing my new gilet from Boo Hoo. I already have a few gilets but you can never have too many as they're so warm! My burgundy playsuit goes perfect with my coat too! The playsuit is quite different from my usual style but I just adore how it looks with the top underneath it. With all of these layers, you can say that I was pretty warm on our winter walk!

Last up is my new ring that I got for Christmas. This ring is just stunning! I can't even say what colour it is exactly as in natural light it's a light burgundy and then it looks a dark plum. I've never owned a garnet ring before so I'm so happy to add this little gem to my collection!

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas!
Love Leah, x

PRIMARK | Blanket Scarf

What I'm Wearing: JUMPER, Tesco's | SCARF, Primark | SKORT, River Island | SHOES, Primark.

When it's Winter, sometimes the last thing you really want to do is go outside in the cold weather. This scarf has literally saved me from freezing to death. It's the best buy ever! Does anyone else have one of these blacket scarves? If not, you definitely should. I got mine from Primark for only £6 last Thursday and I basically haven't taken it off since! It's a different pattern from the ones I usually go for but I love the Tarten and the change in colours. Plus, there is another pattern on the other side of the scarf which is like a check pattern! I love it. It's going to be really versatile to wear with different outfits! I feel so warm and cosy in this scarf. It's really just like a massive comfort blanket! Yeah, this scarf makes me happy :) What's not to love? I feel like it keeps me happy when it's so cold outside and all I really want to do it stay in bed and wait for Christmas to come sooner, haha! 

This is the first time I've ever worn this outfit together and I quite like the black and white skort with the jumper. I know you can't see the jumper in these photographs because of the scarf! I just wanted to persuade you all to buy one of these scarves! I promise you it will be one of the best winter purchases you make! Good old Primark to the rescue again! 


Will you be getting a blanket scarf?

DIY: Feather Cuffs

What I'm Wearing: GILET, Primark | SHOES, Primark | Dress, AX Paris.

Hi everyone, this is our first outfit post of December! It's freezing cold outside so that's why I probably look like I'm in pain in these photographs, haha! I'm already getting quite festive as you can probably tell. I'm getting obsessed with glitter and sparkles. My black velvet sparkly dress was a present I got last Christmas and it is perfect for this time of year, don't you think? I absolutely love it and to top it all off it has a high neck to it.

However, there is something on my dress that wasn't there last year and that is the black faux fur cuffs on the sleeves! How cute is it? I'm not going to pretend that I got all creative and sewn this fur on myself because my lovely mum done it for me! I think it adds so much to the dress and makes it look so much more expensive. I can't remember the exact price of this dress but it was fairly cheap I think. I know I get loads of wear out of this in December. The fur was from Ebay and didn't take long at all to get sewn on. It was cheap and it's so soft! So if you'd like to be all orginal and spice your your own clothes, this is the perfect way to do it! Plus, it's really easy too!

Are you all looking forward to Christmas? I know I am!

Hat's On!

I don't know if it's just me but I love a good hat for the colder weather. I always feel the benefit of having a hat on - my head always feels toasty even if the rest of me is freezing! So, I thought I'd do a quick post on my latest hat collection for the coming months. I must say that my hats this year are the best yet!
All of these gorgeous hats were purchased in the amazing River Island sale expect the crystal embellished white hat which was from Primark. If you didn't already know, River Island do the best sales. The black hat with the gold buckle on was cut down from £12 to just £4! The pink and white leopard berets were £4 too. I don't know which one is my favourite but I know I'll be wearing them all winter through. I must admit that I love the black hat. It's so different and not something I'd usually go for but it makes me feel a lot cooler than I am when I wear it! The berets are hats I typically go for and I've worn black berets for years. Who can resist the french chic feel of a beret? The patterens on these are too cute. I love the dusty pink and of course the leopard! The Primark hat was such a bargain! I'll definately feel very stylish in this one. The crystal embellishment is beautiful!

Which hat is your favourite?
