This week I'm reading

I finished University for Summer way back in late April but somehow time has managed to quickly pass me by. Now it's officially the school summer holidays and I finally have a little time to relax. What better way to do so than with a good book. I may be the only 20 something girl that still borrows library books but there's so much great choice on offer, so why buy? Yes, I may be behind the times when it comes to technology but in a contest of e-book versus hardback - hardback always wins. 

Anyway down to my chosen selection, every girl loves shoes and whats better then the story behind designer shoe brand Jimmy Choo. 'In my Shoes A Memoir' by Tamara Mellon is a self written biography about Tamara Mellon's life and co-founding the Jimmy Choo brand. Next up on my reading list 'Vogue on Vivienne Westwood'. Page after page of beautiful model wearing beautiful clothing designed by great British designer, Westwood. What more does a fashion loving girl need.

Happy Summer

A Sunday stroll

Dress and Shirt here | Topshop. Espadrilles | Dune here 

This Sunday was a great day for a stroll, it was also the perfect opportunity to take my new purchases for an outing. The perfect stroll clothing items have to be a slouchy (stripey dress), simple military shirt and the comfiest shoes I may have ever owned, espadrilles. If you caught my AW14 trends post here you will notice I'm already prepping for the ever approaching colder season with one of these on trend items. As for the espadrilles another sale steal reduced from £49 to £19! I just had to have them.

Amazing Flats 

A shade or two

I'm not one for lipstick but recently I've become partial to a shade or 2 to brighten up my look. I tried and tested two shades to share with you. 

Firstly I started with Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss - Shade No1 Rossetto. A perfect red not too dark and not too orange. We all know that red lipstick is probably the worlds messiest shade, usually ending up with what resembles a clown face. When applied with a lipstick brush a clean, neat look was achieved. What do you think? Pretty great if I do say so myself. 

Next up Revlon Super Lustrous Matte - Shade No 013 Smoked Peach. A lighter shade of coral but great for everyday use, easily applied again for neatness with a brush. I really struggled to find the right shade of coral, my hand was filled with a million colours whilst browsing the boots make up counters. This coral colour is the right amount of peach and pink. Perfect!
