Photography - my cat Timmy

In my first blog post I spoke about a passion of mine, photography. 

Above is a photo of my gorgeous little, well not so little cat, Timmy who is making himself at home in my newly decorated room which I will be showing you soon!

Holiday Essentials

I think any girl on this planet will always have an outfit or 'essentials' that they take on holiday! Mine are above! 

1. Sunglasses!! I have to admit I never really wear these sunglasses, they just end up on my head holding back my hair! - New Look-

2. Bags, bags , bags !! Absolutely IN LOVE with this bag, it goes with EVERYTHING. My dad bought me it a year ago and is pretty much my life. - D&G

3. The fault In Our Stars by John Green *cries* I've watched the movie and oh.my.gosh! One of the best movies I've watched... if you didn't cry then there's something wrong with you. After watching the movie I just had to read the book and I am loving it! - Waterstones / Any good book shop -

4. This Black vest top was such a good buy because, black goes with everything. And I love black. Topshop-. The silver puffed heart I borrowed... from my mum and always accessorizes my outfits. - FatFace - 

5. Brown studded belt - New Look

6. Converse is the reason I live today, they are sooo comfy and literally go with anything. - Schuh -

7. I've spoken about the trousers in one of my other posts but I will tell you again how comfy, amazing, stylish these are. Love love love them!!!! - River Island-

8.  This thin, cotton jumper is perfect for autumn nights, which unfortunately are coming quickly:( If you don't like being cold, like me!  Then this is definitely for you! - H&M

The Shake Shop!

  

The Shake Shop in Witney is probably one of the best shops I've ever been to! A lot of you may think that this shop only sells Milkshakes...YOU'RE WRONG! This shops sells, milkshakes, smoothies, frozen yogurt, ice cream, traditional sweets.A sweet tooth's heaven ! 

My mum and I went to Witney to do some shopping and wanted a little break. So of course we went to The Shake Shop! My mum had a pineapple and coconut smoothie and I tried the strawberry and banana smoothie, and like always it was out of this world! If you ever go to Witney, Oxfordshire, go to The Shake Shop... you won't regret it!

Make up - My Top 6

Clarins, Paris - Jolie Rouge, 722- Lilac Pink 

L'OREAL, Paris - Natural

MUA, Make up academy Lipstick - Shade 13 

MUA, Make up academy Mega volume mascara - black 

MUA, Make up academy pressed powder - Shade 2 

Clarins, Paris - Instant Line - 01 black

A few years ago I was addicted to wearing a lot of  make up! Foundation, powder, mascara, lip gloss and eye liner. It was never ending ! But this past year I've stopped wearing foundation and just use a soft powder, some mascara and at times a bit of lipstick! Some of my make up is expensive, but I couldn't believe the cost of the MUA, £1 for each product I bought! Above, are my 'Top 6'  favorite pieces of make up that I wear on a daily basis!

A day out at Kilver Court

The gardens at Kilver Court had some of the most beautiful smelling flowers I've ever smelt! I'm not usually a girl to take in the flowers but it was very tricky not to with all of the bright colours bursting out at me! It wasn't just the flowers that comforted me, it was the perfect place to read my book , Threads by Sophia Bennett - a fashion fairytale.

Black vest-Topshop. Tartan Shorts - Parisian Collection (Charity shop).
Black pumps - Converse.

I also stood under this moohoosive viaduct that runs through the gardens of Kilver Court. I look so tiny!

The thing I look for most on a day out is... food! I love my food and this is a lovely example of what I'm talking about. Today I ate at Sharpham Pantry Restaurant in Kilver Court and had a delicious, Restaurant Classic, Chefs homemade bacon & cheese burger with dressed salad and crisps! I would say it was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. I would definitely recommend going to eat here if you ever visit Kilver Court!

As well as looking at the gardens, and eating! My aunty B and I visited some shops and had a little snoop around to see what I liked, and I am fussy! But i did find this very cool Bottletop Bag  in the Emporium, I'm not really one to go for handmade things but I have to say I absolutely loved it! They're made so well...I will add this to my wish list!

Hopes and Dreams

Fashion and Photography!

I want to share with you my love for both of these things! I have to say this is the longest I've been without my phone and in a weird way I like it! I love telling people about my day and sharing what I have seen, or taken photographs of and this is a perfect way of showing it !

These subjects are very familiar to me as my family is very arty! My uncle is a Photographer - mostly for restaurants, and my aunt, a colour and fashion consultant and an established blogger. 

Talking about fashion and photography comes naturally and I have to say I have been inspired by my aunt and uncle at a very young age.I hope I can follow a similar path to them in the future!
