The Final Countdown

This blog has been through my entire education with me, well the important parts anyway. I started it when I was just beginning GCSE's and now I am still going with one year left at university. ONE YEAR, it was absolutely flown by, everyone did tell me this but I didn't believe them at all. In the past two years I have learnt so much about living on my own, managing finances, myself and of course my degree. As I come into my final year and lss than a month until I move back, it seems appropriate to take about the essentials for anyone starting this year. Everything from cutlery to bedding, I have you covered. 

Style on a Budget

Today we are talking all about student style, as a student I have two moods. The lazy mood where I will throw the first thing I see on, then the effort mood, where I put thought into my outtfit and make sure I look the  part. Dressing as a student doesn't have to be difficult and to make it easier PrettyLittleThing have a dedicated page on their site for every outfit you ever need. Both of these can be worn so many different ways and are perfect to take you from summer to winter.

 Thanks to the lovely Laura from Laura Haley Photography, we have lots of outfit posts coming up and I hope that this is the start for them being more frequent and of high quality. Do you remember the days where mirror pictures were on my blog - gone were those days and here come the professional ones. Laura is the best to shoot with if you are around the Leeds area, she is so accomodating and comfortable to be around. Check out her facebook page here! 

The New Brand On The Block: Girls With Attitude

Every so often, I come across new brands on instagram that people are loving. GWA also known as Girls With Attitude (what a name!) are a brand that I am always seeing on my time line. When the chance came up to try some of their products, I got very excited. Discovering new brands that aren't available anywhere is great as you know the products are pretty much 'exclusive'. Saying this, I am sure that I spotted them in Primark a few weeks back. 

Packaging

One thing that drew me to all the products first and for most was the packaging, the palettes are just stunning to look at and have in my collection. The eyeshadow palette is covered in glitter, it has been super glued on and coated over as nothing seems to come off no matter how much you try. The packaging is very luxury and makes me love the brand even more. 

Inside The Skincare Cabinet

I feel like if everything around me is tidy and organised, I am more likely to feel good and have a productive day. Since moving back home for a few months until third year, I have found it hard to organise my things. No fancy beauty storage here, just a simple shelf in the cupboard to store everything. It is only now, that I seem to have some sort of system going on. Since developing a love for skincare products, I've also had to find ways of storing it all and after going through a slight struggle, it has all been sorted!
