Beauty
I am terrible when it comes to make up because I can never decide what products I like and tend to only use something a few times before replacing it with something else, resulting in me having a lot of half empty products lying around. However I think I have finally found a foundation I am going to stick to with Benefit's 'Oxygen Wow'. I have just bought my second bottle and I think that is the first time I've used a whole foundation and bought the same one twice! As you can see, my skin isn't exactly terrible, but it isn't great either. I'm quite pale in my face and my skin is quite dull, and obviously I get a few spots and redness, but this foundation gives a really natural coverage and is so illuminating without being shiny!

Benefit - £26.50
The next thing I've been loving is this lipstick called 'Twig'. It's a really lovely natural plum/browny colour that I think suits my skin tone quite well? It's not new so I don't know why I've been using it so much recently, but it's definitely been my go to lipstick this month, despite the fact it's possibly more autumnal than summery.
Mac - £15
My nan gave me this styling oil and I think it's amazing. It's got such a lovely fruity smell to it! I'm not going to lie, I'm not sure how you're actually meant to use it.. but I squirt it onto my hairbrush and then brush it through my hair whilst it's wet. When my hair drys its really silky and shiny, compared to how matt it is naturally. I don't know where this is from or how much, but I'm guessing as it's Got2b you can probably get it in Boots.

I am obsessed with triangle bras - I have about 10! I just find them soso comfortable compared to underwired bras and I find they fit really well. There are loads of different styles you can get (shown in the photo), but my favourite place to get them from is American Apparel. They'd probably be no good if you have big boobs (unlike me sigh) because they don't offer a huge amount of support, but I find they fit small boobed people really well because they're stretchy and un-moulded.
I finally got Nike Roshe Runs!! I've wanted these for so long (since I went to America in April) but I kept forgetting to buy them and whenever I went to they never had the colour i wanted! These are sooo comfortable it's unbelievable - like walking on air!
Nike - £70
I bought this bag for college next year because it's really big and strong, but I love it so much I've started using it already! It's real leather (suede) and made really well. And despite being from Jack Wills and made of real leather, I don't think it was too pricey - especially if you get student discount because they give you 15% off (thanks for telling me Jenny!!)
Jack Wills - £79.50 (£67 with student discount)
Jelly shoes!!!! I think these are a bit like marmite because you either love them or hate them.. but I love them. I think they're really cute and versatile, it's just a shame that they're not all that comfortable so I wouldn't recommend trying to walk far in them.
Purple: vintage - £13
Black: Ebay - £10 (including p&p!!)
I'm sure you're not surprised to see kimonos included, they seem to be everywhere. I think they're really pretty and such an easy way to make an outfit look more interesting and stylish. I have two because I liked both styles. Ones is really lose and lacey, which is nice for throwing over dresses and playsuits and because it's plain you can wear it with patterns! My other one is tighter and made of shirt material. Because it's patterned, I am going to wear this one with jeans and a vest top.
Lilac: Missguided - £19.99
Patterned: New Look - £19.99

I've really enjoyed reading this book. It's hard to explain what it's about, because it's kind of not about anything! But it has a lot of style inspiration and is full of cute quotes and illustrations. It's a great way to pass the time.
Alexa Chung - £11.99 ish
I love this fruity pineapple case, it's so summery! I'm gutted because I've chipped mine, so I'm tempted to buy another one!
Topshop - £8
I received such an adorable necklace from Daisy-Mae Jewellery. It's called the 'Saturn necklace' and it also comes in gold. It's such good quality and all of her stuff is very affordable. Make sure to check her shop out!

I've also received some beautiful pieces from La Luna Accessories. All of their jewellery is so unique and unlike anything I've really seen out there before! The necklace is called 'Spaced Out Galactic Pendant' and it is so mesmerising! The bracelet is my absolute favourite though because it's so pretty and is adjustable which is very handy. Again, all the pieces are very affordable. Make sure to check them out.

I've been very lucky in terms of jewellery recently! I love this elephant bracelet and it's very special to me because it was given to me by my favourite person in the World. Unfortunately I don't know where it is from because it was a present!
This is a bit of a strange one, but I have been ridiculously excited by my new phone charger! I ordered an extra long one so I could go on my phone whilst charging it more easily, and I can literally sit the other side of the room to the plug with this!! If you're a phone addict like me, you NEED this.
Wowcher - £6
