Beginnings Of Sumer OOTD

If you live in the UK then you may have noticed that the weather has picked up so much over the past  couple of weeks. So I took the  opportunity to go for a walk through Hyde Park, Iv seen lots of little bits of Hype Park when iv been to London before, but never really ventured far in. Since I live so close now, I packed up my camera and went exploring with another blogger; Ellie from gingerandvintage here is what I wore on our little trip. One thing I must say is I really didn't think the temperature was going to rise as high as it did, maybe I would of changed my outfit up a bit if I did.

**I would just like to mention, if you notice, 
some of my photos are slightly out of focus, this is because 
recently there has been a decline in my eyesight.
I thought the pain from straining my eyes was down
 to the migraines I have suffered with every day for 7 years,
 turns out its not. I actually have an eyesight issue, 
but my glasses will be here soon so please bare with me for the next few weeks, 
as I have had scheduled posts for a while.**

Obligatory mirror selfie with Ellie


Outfit:
-Shirt dress, Ark (Christmas present)
-Faux fur gilet, New Look
-Jeans, New Look (I put the rips in myself)
-Shoes, Nike
Hat, H&M

I love this shirtdress that my brother bought me for christmas and have been dying for the weather to warm up so I can wear it, because I'm a wimp when it comes to winter and cold weather so I always wrap up; so I took this as an opportunity to show my love for it. 
I wanted to wear my plain black slip-ons but the day before I decided to wear in some new shoes and they rubbed too much meaning my Nikes were the only comfortable option, but I do love them and for only £17.50 they are well worth it. 
I have had these jeans foe around 7-8 years (I know right?!?!) and once they started to lose their fit, I added the rips so I can continue to wear them.
The gilet was £17.99 on sale in New Look, it was so much softer than I thought it would be. 

We took so many photos on this day that I will do a separate post of our adventure around the park, stay tuned for that. 

Enjoy

Follow My Feet | Adventure in Richmond

A few weeks ago I was feeling so restless, before starting university work I decided to go for a walk in the local park to clear my head. After getting outside I decided against the park because I have been so many times, so I began walking in the opposite direction. Skip forward about an hour and a half later and I had walked into Richmond.

Within seconds I was in love, its on its on the Thames, I like the variety of shops and the pubs, you can sit on the side of the Thames and eat ice cream or sit in a beer garden and have food. There is a mix of franchise stores or one of boutiques and of course you could walk into Richmond Park. I didn't get chance to go to the park on that day but i will definitely going to be going back.








I will be visiting Richmond again tomorrow to show my friends around, I will be visiting the park as well and this taking my DSLR with me so i will be getting better pictures than these ones on my phone.

Enjoy!

Current Primark Favourites

Hey guys, so as a youtube junkie, I know how much people; me included enjoy hauls and favourites videos. But I feel is I did a haul it would be a bit to tedious to read about the products on a blog and I don't want to bore you guys so I thought I would just talk about my current favourites.

So starting small the first thing is this adorable silver Dream Catcher Necklace, it has these really small feathers attached, its so minimalist, I think it was £1 but I lost the receipt so I can't be sure... sorry about that.




Next up I have these makeup sponges that were £2 for two, of they are unusual shaped compared to the usual egg shape but the different edges make it easier to blend the make up on the different contours of your face.

I bought these gorgeous real leather healed boots with tasseled fringe for the bargain price of £5. In Primark you have to dig to find the gems.


Lastly bought a white and red vertical striped shirt, it has an oversized fit and is super comfy at £10. Im not uploading a picture because I'm thing of doing an OOTD with it soon.

These are a few things iv picked that I absolutely loving so I thought I would share them with you.

I hope you have enjoyed this post, Thank you for reading.
