Summer time sadness

Unfortunately this summer is quickly coming to an end, i have exactly 2 weeks left of freedom and over the past 4 weeks i have been travelling between Jersey,Ireland and the UK and discovered a few gems along the way that i had to bring back home with me

First of all i have a new obsession with them brand 'smash box' i discovered them in the Duty free shop in Cork,Ireland. The packaging is so cool its very modern and slick. This is the 'waterproof shadow liner' which i bought to bring out my eyes and make them more of a key feature to my face, if your like me and have smaller, almond shaped eyes then this liner is a must because it realy does luminate the eyes.

I also bought a new shadow pallet from Smashbox which is very handy because it includes 3 key colours that i use in my everyday makeup. I start by applying the pink colour as a base and then use the  brown as a contour to emphasise my eye shape, and finally blend it all together with my Mac 217 brush and use the bright white colour to put in the corner of my eyes and along my brow bone to finish off.

So that's just a small post to show you what i managed to find a midst my Irish adventures that wasnt a new knitted sweatshirt or pair of knee high fishing boots.

Half way through 2013

This year has gone so quickly, i know everyone says it but it genuinely has. It has recently hit me how quickly time fly's and even though there are 365 days in the year, more than half of those days are spent at school and in a class room. This might seem a waste of time however i have been thinking recently that your school days really are the best years of your life. I've been collecting a few of my favorite pictures together over the last few months, and reminiscing on all the funny times that I've had with all my school friends, just thinking that if i didn't go to school then i wouldn't have met those people and how different i would be as a person scares me so much.

Anyway..that was a random off topic thought there..but what the point of this post is meant to be is to just let everyone know a few things that i have been obsessing over the past month..if you want to know..if not, then you will know now..that really doesnt make sense.

This is a number that i bought from Zara at the start of August and i am in love. This picture is followed by some photos of the detailing on the dress, which is definitely the best part!

Heres a close up of the V-neck detail which is a very delicate black lace

This is the back which has a sheer panel and larger section of lace in between which cuts down the back and creates a classy but youthful look.

As well as clothes i have been catching up on some reading that doesn't involve me writing a review on each chapter for Mrs Joyce the english teacher, i wanted to read a light chick flick and i had read a lot of Lauren Weisberger books in the past this one was a superb girly read perfect for holiday.

As well as reading I've been OBSESSED with the TV series Pretty Little Liars. One of my friends suggested that i watch it and i thought i would give it a go. It was honestly the best decision I've made in a long long time. Its a perfect combination of mystery,romance and adventure. Im in love with the styling especially. Each character has their own unique style and I'm  constantly updating my wardrobe in order to mirror theirs!
