Current clothing list.





My wardrobe is after a switch up and I need some new bits and bobs before we head into Autumn. I have a huge wishlist so these are only a few - mainly basics because that's mainly what I need!

I love smock dresses and how even though they are very simple, you can dress them up to make a really nice outfit. The quality of asos clothing is lovely for the price and I don't think I could go wrong with something like this.

I have so many jumpers yet feel I need more. I love the colour of this and think it'd be a little oversized so be very cosy!

3. Jeans
I find jeans very hard to shop for so usually stick to my trusted Topshop Leigh jeans. I own a pair of the white joni jeans, but think buying a darker pair would go much better with my autumn wardrobe. Plus, you can't have too many pairs of black jeans.

I think this is brilliant and would go with so much in my wardrobe. Usually I'm not one for slogan tee's but this one made me laugh as soon as i saw it so I think I will be purchasing it come payday.

New palettes!





Palettes are one of my favourite items of makeup as I love the variety within them as well as the convenience. There are a few new palettes that have recently caught my eye and they look pretty amazing. 

1. Morphe 35F.
I've been on the waiting list for the 35O palette for ages, but have accepted that I won't be getting it anytime soon. However as I scrolling though Twitter I noticed this one which has the most beautiful shades. I think I prefer the look of this palette to the 35O however it also has a waiting list so it'll be a while before I get any!

2. Becca Blushed with Light. 
Blush palettes are my weakness and this one is definitely one I will be buying at some point. I really want to try some more Becca products and the colours in this palette look right up my street. 

3. Hourglass Surreal Ambient Lighting Edit. 
This looks incredible. Hourglass have created some beautiful palettes and I can imagine that this one will carry the same hype with it. I love how they have a strobing powder as well as their normal powder and think this would be such a perfect travel palette!

4. Anastasia Master Palette by Mario. 
This eyeshadow palette looks beautiful. I love the array of shades and think it's really nice that they've included a mix of dark blue and purple amongst the more neutral shades. 

What kind of palettes do you like? I hope you enjoyed reading,

Molang Diary.




Seeing as I'm really into stationery at the moment I thought I'd share my latest delivery which I'm very excited about. It only arrived on Saturday morning and I'm already obsessed.

I've been looking at diaries that are more planner/journal orientated and came across the Molang Diary on Amazon and it looked perfect. I chose the white option as I wanted to keep it simple however it's inevitable that I will get pen on it or something in the future. I love the cute little drawings throughout and on the covers and especially love how you can add your own dates to each page. The layouts of each page is exactly what I was looking for and I'm hoping it will help me to stay very organised this year. There are a few checklist pages throughout also and I like how it will put everything into perspective during busy times. Also it's just the right size for me, slightly smaller than A5 i think so it won't take up too much space in my bag, but is big enough for everything to be laid out neatly.

There's not much more I can say that will describe it better than the pictures, but I am very smitten and can't wait to start using it!

I hope you enjoyed reading,

Stationery



Chloe's post last week has inspired me to do this post. Recently I've bought a lot of stationary as I head into the final year of my A-Levels. This year I plan on being prepared and organised to the max so as to get the grades that I'm aspiring to.

I'm not going to go into masses of detail about everything as it all speaks for itself, however I am really excited about what I've picked up. My subjects are very heavily note/essay based so notepads are a must for me. I love pukka pads for class work and then I have a spare set in which I will write my notes up in neat. The Pukka Pad refill pads are amazing and I'm going to use them as huge revision books for each subject. To complete my revision I've bought about 100 pens of a variety of colours - I'm especially happy about the sharpies. I love the Stabilo fineliners and have been using them for years and the Papermate Inkjoy pens are so easy to write with. I bought 3 packs of the plain black as I'm forever losing pens and these are definitely my favourite!

I am very happy with how organised I've been so far and although I still have a few more bits and bobs to purchase I'm sure I won't be struggling once the year begins.

I hope you enjoyed reading,
