'Re-generations'

Hey guys,  I have been pretty poorly over the last few weeks to say the least, I have caught everything going around (freshers flu..twice, colds, sickness, chest infections..I think is what I have now) and all this time lying around, for one makes you hate your room and everything in it but also makes you think about everything and anything (because you can't look at screens for too long or your eyes start burning which means no more Gilmore Girls for me).  so guys, I'm going to come right out and just say what I want to say here..I have a fear of losing friends, whether it be because they're bored of me, found new better ones or any other reason tbh.  In my life I have had two, what I like to call 'Re-generations' (like doctor who but not) these times have been the fucking worst, let me explain.  'Re-generations ' to me anyways, is when I lose everyone close to me (or everyone just leaves) and have to start over again.  This first h...

Outfit of the week (DIY)

Image
Hey cuties,  Today is a quick one, my fave outfit from this week including a t-shirt I distressed myself using sandpaper, enjoy!  Oversized (XL mens) Green Day shirt. Its really hard to show your short shorts without looking a bit dodgy,  I basically sanded the shit out of the t-shirt where I wanted there to be holes. I then added some fishnets (Primark)  Finished with docs and a high pony. Details. Fishnets and Frank Ocean That's all for today, hope you liked this mini fashion post (I'll have longer ones soon!) this one was inspired by Effy from Skins.  Thanks for reading, H  xxx 

Sweater Weather

Image
Hello my loves, Summer has come to a close, as has (I hope) my procrastination in regards to this blog.  Here in the UK it is officially sweater weather, now every single year I hate it to be cold however this year that has changed and I think I have too.  Now before you roll your eyes and click away, I don't mean I have changed in a preachy 'I'm so deep and interesting' way, let me explain (quickly, because TL;DR). My whole life I have been living in retrospect, I'm always looking to the past for comfort and I don't think I have ever looked ahead to what could possibly be.  My past has been complicated, lonely but that for me just means...safe and oh so familiar.  I have dairies, journals, notebooks and scrapbooks littering my room full of memories that, at the time I thought would just be a funny little thing to look back on but I started to think that perhaps I had already lived my best life and I was doomed to be boring and empty for the rest.  I...

Monthly Favourites *June '16*

Image
Hey Guys,  This post is going to be all of my favourite things from the month of June, all of which I have broken down into categories (we'll see how this layout works, if not i'll change it for next month). Fashion This month I have been obsessed with the 70's fashion so the heels are exactly what I was looking for in my search for 70's perfection, they are so comfy and just the right height.  The trousers go along with the 70's thing nicely but in all honestly I just prefer to wear trousers all the time and this pattern was to die for, they're loose on the legs but tight near the bottom for a perfect fit also high waited (bonus!). Now if you were to bump into me on a day to day basis you would see that this cap has not left my head for a solid three weeks give or take a few days (when I can be bothered to dress up) its probably the best item I've bought the entire year, totally in love!  Deadbeats Cap (ASOS but they don't sell...

Whats in my bag?

Image
Hey Guys,  Today I have spare hour to write a new post so I decided to do something quick and simple but still interesting if you're a bit nosy (like me).  So here is what's in my everyday bag that I literally take everywhere with me.  (So much junk omg)  I wear a backpack literally everyday  So full omg  Notebook, reading glasses, glasses wipes, perfume, tangled af earphones and my phone. Tangle teaser, tissues, pens, hair pins in a tic tac box, purse and sunglasses in black. Gum wrapper (reminder to buy gum), various tablets (hay fever, ibuprofen and such), rainbow sunglasses,lip balm, lighter,  various lipsticks and a lip gloss.  So now you know everything I carry around every day, I should probably just choose one pair of sunnies and get rid of wrappers but they'll sneak back in eventually!   Hope you enjoyed this mini post, thanks for reading!  Much Love,  H  xxx

Late Night Dance Party

Image
Hello Internet, The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of exams and assignments (In fact when I close my eyes I'm seeing word counts and design charts) annndddd I just got back from handing in my very last assignment!! (erm 5000 words, ....ill hold for the applause). Now, usually at the end of a year of uni all I want to do is eat my body weight in food I forgot to eat during exam week and reclaim all of the sleep I missed in the form of twenty minute cat naps throughout the day and waking up at 2pm every day.   However! this time all I wanted to do was listen to feel good music and dance around for hours in sheer happiness (I've been having an amazing mental health week considering it was exam week, tres proud). In celebration of this I created a feel good playlist on my Spotify  and have been listening to it non-stop, so I thought I would share it here in case you want to come and dance with me!  Dance Party See you there!

My Favourite Nudes

Image
Hello again internet,  This post is going to be moderately less exciting than the title suggests.. but thrilling nonetheless!  Here are seven of my fave nude lipsticks that I wear on a constant loop (I used to wear red a lot but I feel nudes are so much classier).  The first two come from (believe it or not) Wilkinson's (or Wilkos) they not long ago brought out their own make-up line and its super cheap and good quality for the price (Around £3) Cute nude Wearing only a smile 'Cute nude' is a sheer glossy nude pink and 'Wearing only a smile' is an opaque creamy pink, I tend to wear these if I'm wearing a 60's/70's make-up look or outfit which I have been lately, I love them, the bottom colour is perfect if you're looking to replicate a twiggy look! The next two are from NYX (I ordered them from boots online, thank you boots!) (Around £5 each) Stockholm Tiramisu 'Stockholm'...

I am now 21.

Image
Hello again internet,  I turned 21 and the last two weeks have been the busiest and fullest of my life.  Now, I'm not one for ageing with grace, I age kicking and screaming (I cried turning 19!).  I hate it, but as much as I despised the thought of having to finally admit I am no longer a teen, turning 21 was actually.. not bad  (After the past few months I have had, I never thought I would say that age and those words in the same sentence!) .  As my birthday this year fell on Easter Monday...I had a party the Friday before. (who knew throwing parties were so stressful and why didn't anyone warn me?!) now don't get me wrong it was fun and I had a blast but oh my god it was hectic!.  However, my friends all came,   even  my best friend came from Wolverhampton  to party. (A few snaps from that) End of the night selfie marathon.. Loves  Bestie (she has a blog btw HERE ) Cuties  The...
