When these gorgeous photos landed in my inbox I was instantly transported to Summer. I don't normally share images like this but they really perked me up and I think you will love them too. They were taken in Barcelona and feature the hottest swimwear, fierce street style’s and coolest dresses from the Missguided Summer collection.This shoot is making me crave a trip to a warmer climate so I get a chance to ditch my black opaques and scarf, sigh.

What have I been up to the past week? Taking advantage of the 3 for 2 in Boots, listening to Marina and the Diamonds on repeat and catching up with old friends. Perfect!

I treated myself to some new products that had been recommended to me. The Real Techniques blush brush recommendation came courtesy of Caroline and I love it! I get a much better result by using this brush, a nice even sweep of colour and the brush doesn't break all my blush apart like my old cheapy one did. Well worth the tenner I paid for it.
I picked up the L'Oreal Super Liner on a bit of a whim, I went for golden black which has flecks of gold in it. It is easy to apply and comes with a little brush. Not tested to see if it stays on for 24 hours like the packaging says but it lasted pretty well.
Ultrabland from Lush has made a huge difference to my skin in the short time I have been using it. It gets rid of all the traces of make up on my face and has helped to sort out the dry patched around my nose and mouth. I think it is a tad pricey at £6 for the small tub and £10 for the bigger size but it does such a good job I will be buying this again when I run out.



I gave in to the hype and bought a L'Oreal Caresse Lipstick in Sweet Berry. It doesn't have great staying power but leaves behind a nice tint. This shade is great for everyday wear and I have been wearing it to work, nice and subtle and doesn't dry out. I also bought the Super Liner Ultra Precision as an alternative to my Lancome Artliner. It's nice and dark and long lasting but it not as easy to apply or as black as my Lancome liner. It is half the price though and money is tight at the moment so I will be using all of it and trying not to cave in and spend so much on high end make up.



I went to the cinema on Wednesday to finally see The Hunger Games which I loved. Quite true to the books and rather fun/teen not too much to think about, I also love Peeta now and am making loads of bread/camouflage based puns about him. I wore my Topshop midi dress, Topshop jacket and Missguided scarf to the cinema, really need to wear my midi more, it's so comfy and easy to throw on. I also rediscovered my F21 arrowhead earrings that I forgot all about and have been wearing them a lot the past week.

I've had a horrid migraine for a few days so I've been at home sleeping and watching Buffy in my Sunnydale t-shirt to make it better but managed to see my friends on Saturday and drink a few pomegranate vodkas mmmm!






P.S. Don't forget that I have a giveaway where you can win £50 to spend on FYFO and I'm selling a few lovely things over on ebay

I've just come back from the most amazing weekend in Birmingham. Claire  and Fritha organised a fantastic meet up, they must have worked really hard booking everything and co-ordinating so many people, thank you ladies!

I got the National Express from Cardiff to Birmingham yesterday morning and arrived at 1pm, a little flustered and ready to shop! I had my first experience of a blogger meet up on Wednesday in Cardiff so I wasn't too nervous about meeting so many new people. We all had handy name badges which was great because I'm awful with names and the huge yellow Mac C bags were fab because it was easy to spot the other blog girls in the shop and not get lost.

Here is a nice big group shot of all the girls that came, so many of us-


We met for coffee and we were given some lovely Max C and Miss Guided bags. (you can never have enough tote bags) We split in to two groups, some girls went vintage shopping and the rest of us hit Forever21 jewellery section and did some shopping in the bullring. We went for food in The Mailbox at a place called Red Peppers (I think). I had chicken and salad so I would have more points left over for drinks in the night ;) and had a nice cranberry cooler cocktail, yummy!


The meal provided a great chance to relax and chat with all the lovely girls that turned up, prizes were given out for challenges that people took part in and I got a lovely bag full of gifts because I had travelled the furthest to get to the meet which was such a sweet surprise. I was sat with the lovely Lily, Maria, Selina (who we nominated for best dresses of the day) and Hayley.


Here are some lovely things I brought home with me-

Picked this up along with loads of other things in Forever21, I wish there was a store in Cardiff! I loved all of the jewellery in there and could have spent a fortune. Bought a few pairs of earrings for about £2.40 each, bargain.


This was one of the gifts I got in my bag for travelling the furthest and I love it so much. It is silver which means I wont be allergic to it yaaay! I will be wearing this a lot I'm sure.

This is the bag that everything came in, it is a Tesco F&F bag, isn't it lovely? I will be perfect for nights out.

 A lovely handmade bracelet which I wore out in the evening part of the meet up, it's made from brass which again is good because I'm not allergic to it like I am with most jewellery.


My mam has got her eye on this one, hands off!

Part 2 coming tomorrow...
