Suede Lace Up Shorts

WHAT I'M WEARING - top, NEW LOOK, shorts, MISSGUIDED, Shoes & Choker, RIVER ISLAND.

Hello everyone! Both me and Leah have missed doing our blog so much. After a short break, we are both so happy to be posting again. Honestly, our lives felt empty without blogging! I thought I'd do a quick outfit post (in our blogging break, an excessive amount of clothes have been purchased). This outfit has got to be one of the coolest outfits I've ever worn. Look at those shorts! I think they were made for me, I love them so much! The detail on them is dreamy.

I absolutely love New Look at the moment. This top I'm wearing is just a classic black bardot top! It instantly makes me feel like I've got a good, fashionable outfit on if I'm wearing this top.

Here is to many more posts, I'm so happy to be back!
Love Rachel, x

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?

Black and Pink!

WHAT I'M WEARING - GILET, boo hoo, PLAYSUIT, river island, SHOES, river island.

This is my first ever outfit post with pink hair and doesn't the pink look so much nicer against the all black outfit? I love wearing black but sometimes it could look a bit boring with plain old blonde hair. I'm going to dye my hair lavender next time but I'm willing to try any colour! I'm quite daring with my hair now, haha! Anyway, I love wearing my gilet from Boo Hoo and it's literally been my comfort blanket through Winter! It helps that it looks really stylish and goes with all my clothes too. The playsuit is a sparkly number that I got from River Island and I really should wear it more! This outfit has good memories seeing as I wore it to see Slipknot and Korn in January!

As always, I paired my  all black outfit with some good old necklaces that I couldn't be without. Does anyone else feel weird without their jewellery on? I feel like my outfit is incomplete without my rings/necklaces. My shoes are my favourite creepers. The most comfortable shoes EVER? I think so!

Have a nice day everyone,

The Playsuit And The Gilet

What I'm Wearing: PLAYSUIT, River Island | FAUX FUR GILET, River Island | BOOTS, River Island

I've been pretty obsessed with wearing gilets since October last year. The minute I saw this gilet on the River Island website, I just needed to have it in my life! I love everything about this as I don't usually wear white but I love how the brown fur mixes in with the white. This gilet is also the warmest thing I own and it's actually pretty heavy to wear, haha. It was £65 but I can't complain as I can see myself wearing this for years!
My playsuit is from River Island too and I couldn't believe I found this in the sale! The playsuit is everything that I love in life, velvet and lace and it was only £15! The detail is just beautiful. The pearl buttons are a beautiful touch and the lace sleeve detail is just my style! I think this gilet and the playsuit make the perfect combination! I'm also wearing my favourite boots. You literally wouldn't think I had about 10,000 other shoes underneath my bed!

Do you love wearing playsuits?
Love, Rachel x

Denim Jacket & Feather Crop Top

What I'm Wearing: DENIM JACKET, asos | CROP TOP, asos | CULOTTES, asos | BOOTS, River Island.

I literally couldn't remember when I last bought new clothes. I've been saving up for a few weeks and as Spring is coming up, we decided to start buying more clothes for the new season. The first thing that was on my wish list was a denim jacket. I'm so obsessed with denim jackets and it was time for a new one. Demin jackets are great for all year round and this one is from asos and it was £45. I think I will own this jacket for life and I will be wearing it all of the time!
I recently bought this crop top too from asos. I love it as it has a boho vibe about it. The feathers are unusal colours and I quite like that as I do want to start adding more colour into my wardrobe as the warmer months start coming up. These culottes were also from asos and I think they go perfect with this outfit.
Found these boots in the River Island sale just after Christmas and I was so happy. I've wanted these boots for months but I just didn't want to part with my money but as soon as they were in the sale I just had to buy them.

What have you bought for your Spring wardrobe?

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?

Things That Have Made Me Happy This Week

MAC Cyber Lipstick | The best boots that have ever existed | Benefit's easiest nudes ever kit | Slipknot ticket! | Slipknot selfies haha :)

We started off the week with buying a Benefit eyeshadow kit which we love. The kit is perfect for a neutral eyeshadow lovers and you can see our review on it here. We've also continued our obsession with boots by buying these beauties in the River Island sale. They're honestly the best boots I've ever seen and they've even got fur inside them!

I've had my eye on Cyber lipstick from MAC for ages now and I finally got it! It's a really dark purple lipstick and we both wore it to the Slipknot concert on Thursday.
Thursday was honestly the best night of our lives. We saw two of our favourite bands; Slipknot AND Korn. Korn were SO amazing and I still can't believe I saw them. It all feels like a dream :') By the time Slipknot came on my voice was already going with all the screaming to Korn, haha! Slipknot were amazing and we're definitely going to see them next time they come. Time just went so fast and we left the arena in a daze. Now I'm just sitting here and wondering if it ever happened at all. I just had the best time of my life. Slipknot and Korn are magical.

How has your week been? :)

Lace Up Boots, Favourite Jumper & Velvet Skirt

What I'm Wearing: JUMPER, Forever 21 | SKIRT, Boohoo | BOOTS, River Island | NECKLACE, ASOS

I'm literally obsessed with boots. I've been wearing these black patent chunky lace up boots from River Island none stop since I got them for Christmas. They go with every single outfit and I get a grungy kind of vibe with them. The burgundy jumper is the lastest jumper I've added to my collection. I love the black frilly detail at the bottom and the colour is just gorgeous. I nearly always wear black so it's always great to add colour into my life. I think an outfit is never complete without accessories and I think this black cross necklace was made for this outfit! x

I Need Space

What I'm Wearing: T-SHIRT, Topshop | Shorts, River Island | SHOES, River Island

I love this top. The minute I saw it last week in Topshop, I knew it needed to be mine! It's so cute. I don't have many tops with writting of them so this is a change for me. The 'I need space' with the planet behind is just adorable and pretty much my style too! I need anything with stars, moons or planets on it - it's an obsession of mine!  Topshop is great at the moment for tops I think so I'll be searching for more in the coming weeks too. A girl can never have too many clothes, right? Especially tops. I always wear a long black sleeved top underneath so it's suitable for the January weather.

The creepers (or flatforms) and velvet, lace shorts are from River Island. I got them in the sale and I'm pretty much in love with them! Especially the shoes. That's my inner goth coming out.

The lipstick is my current favourite which is MAC 'Media'. Oh my God, It's so gorgeous and dark but really wearable at the same time! See, I am a little bit goth on the inside ;)

I hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Festive Fashion | Christmas Jumpers!


When you hear 'Christmas jumper' you immediately picture an embarrassing jumper that you wouldn't be seen dead in (maybe that's a bit to far, haha.) I must admit, I've never owned a Christmas jumper before but this year has been a turning point for Christmas jumpers as they're now stylish and  essential for the festive season. I just had to create a list of my favourite Christmas jumpers of 2014.  My favourite in the picture above is probably the River Island 'naughty or nice' jumper, I mean how could you not love this jumper? I also love the sequins on the Christmas tree jumper which is from Topshop. You can never have enough sparkle, especially at this time of year!

You're never to old to wear a festive jumper but let's not forget about hats! I think hats are a great accessory to any outfit and I've been wearing my Christmas pudding and reindeer hat all month, you can read all about them here!

Christmas is now less than a week away and I can't even contain my excitement! What are your favourite Christmas jumpers of this year? 
Love Rachel, xx

What's In My Bag?

I've seen a lot of bloggers do this kind of post for their blog so I thought I'd join in! Recently, I've been wearing my beautiful pale pink arm candy from River Island. I love this bag. I got this as a present for Christmas last year and I just adore it. I always have my beloved animal print purse around with me which was also from River Island (can you guess what my favourite clothes shop is?) I also got this purse last year and I haven't stopped using it since then, isn't it gorgeous?! 

I always carry around a good lipstick and most recently I've been wearing my MAC mehr lipstick. I love this dusky pink matte lippie. You can't beat MAC lipsticks can you? I also love using Maybelline baby lips lipbalm. Some people find these balms drying but I personally love them. I have three other colours but I love this pink shade for a pop of colour. My other essentials that I carry around with me are my Marilyn Monroe compact mirror and my mobile phone. I also love using Lanolips hand cream. Hand cream is a must for me, especially during this time of year. The smell is just gorgeous too!

What do you carry around in your bag? 
Love Rachel. x

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?
