June Wishlist ✿




Hello guys!
This week I'm here with my June Wishlist; it's not as extensive as I had originally anticipated but I'm happy with the selection! I've been loving the colour white this summer as I feel like neons compliment it really well; there is a very minimal theme running throughout that I've been really loving. I've been reblogging the hell out of similar images on Tumblr; if you're interested, click here!



1. These shoes are so adorable! I found them on an American website called, karmaloop. It's not a website I would usually go on, it's not really my style but when I saw these shoes I just fell in love. I feel like they're great for this seasons trends but are unique at the same time, which is always a bonus! £45. They've also got these on Urban Outfitters in the sale for £50.


2. I've wanted a Celine tee for ages, I kind of went off the idea for a few months but I feel like seeings as my name is Celine, I'd be a fool not to get it. ;) At least if people ask my name I don't have to speak, I can just point at my top! Ha ha! On a serious note, I think it's a great simple piece that goes with just about anything! I found this for about £8 on eBay!

3. Topshop, I officially love you again. I went off Topshop for a bit when they started bringing in their crops tops left, right and centre but I was on their website a few days ago and came across this gorgeous sheer tee; covered in daisies! I think it's so perfect, I love the subtlety of the daisy trend in this tee; I'm thinking it would look great with my luminous triangle bra underneath! (Check my instagram for photos here) £26

4. THIS. Oh my. Everytime I've gone into a H&M store, I can just see this fluorescent green, floor-length kimono. It is gorgeous. It's £14.99 which is quite a good deal in my opinion and is just so kick-ass. It would look good over anything, little summer dresses, high waisted shorts and skirts; even calf length jeans and trousers.



5.
This lipgloss is quite a unique thing for me to be putting on my wishlist purely because I'm not a big lipgloss wearer or lip makeup wearer but something about this just really pulled me in! I'm thinking of a crochet white dress with little sandals, round sunglasses and orange lips. So perf. It's £5 in the Topshop sale. 


6. Holographic nail polish!! I've been looking for somewhere to buy this for a while and I saw a post from CutePolish on instagram and I got the brand name, then went on to Google and found a result for Amazon; god love internet shopping! It's £5. 

7. Flipflops! I always buy Primark sandals or flipflops for the summer but I really wanted to invest in some good quality ones. My aunt wears these and I've always really liked the style; so simple. They're Havaianas and their design just adds a bit more luxury to simple footwear. These are £18 on Karmaloop but I'm pretty sure they're sold elsewhere. 


So that concludes my wishlist, I hope you enjoyed this style blog post; I would really appreciate some feedback!

Thanks for reading! Ciaooo! ✿

Everyday Makeup - Summer ✿




Hello!
It's nice to see you, to see you, NIIIIIICEEEE.
Bit o'Brucie to lighten up your day there. You're welcome.

Today I've decided to do an everyday makeup post to show you the contents of my makeup bag and what I put on my face during the warmer months. Now I do say this is my summer makeup purely because of the foundation that I use; because lets face it, Britain isn't getting much of a great summer as of yet. Why I oughtta! But I shall continue regardless.

Some of my makeup products do need a bit of a re-vamp and I do need to purchase some new items but for now I'll show you my current products! I will do an updated makeup post in the future.


Here's mah faceeee. This is what I usually look like on a day to day basis. It's very basic, sometimes I opt for eye shadow but that's a rare occasion.

Also, for anyone who's wondering my t-shirt is from American Apparel; neon trend - ON IT.











Before I start talking about my makeup, I would just like to give a shout out to my makeup bag. I'm just IN LOVE with it! My Mum got me this for my birthday in April this year, it's £10 from Superdry and you can purchase them here. They sell them in all different colours and really worth the mullah. 

So, I always start off with my daily skincare routine, wash and moisturise, then I start off with my base. I use the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation which I have been loving! It's by far the best foundation I've tried, I have a review on my blog if you want to check it out! HERE. To apply that I use my Real Techniques stippling brush; a brush that I covet. I really need to try their other brushes because I'm so impressed with this one and I've heard great things about their blending brush. 

After that I apply my cheek makeup, that includes blusher and bronzer. My bronzer is by MUA and cost like £1; for the price I wasn't really expecting much but it's okay. But like most drug store bronzers (apart from the Borjois one) they're either glittery or really orange. In my case, I've got an orange toned one. It suits me well and doesn't look too orange but I need to invest in Hoola by Benefit or Laguna by NARS. I've been lusting over the Nars one for a good few years now..I think it's time I got invested. I also use Peach Melba by Natural Collection for my blusher. It's very similar to my bronzer colour so sometimes it doesn't show up too well, but I prefer a peachy tone to a really pink one. I use a random Bobbypin brush for both; it's nothing special but it works for now; as I say I need to invest in some more Real Techniques brushes!

After I've applied my face makeup I go onto my eyebrows! Filling in my eyebrows is my favourite part of doing my makeup; I just love creating the shape! I use a Vital Radiance brow powder, I'm not sure what the brand is like as I found this at a market; haha! The colours suit my hair colour and it stays on during the day! I don't feel the need to purchase a new brow powder anytime soon. I also carry a little eyebrow plucker with me; this one I got for Christmas a few years ago and it was from Hawkin's Bazaar funnily enough and it's AMAZING. Best one I've ever had.

I then go onto my mascara and eyeliner; I don't always wear eyeliner as my eyes are very watery and it tends to run under my eyes. The one I'm using now is by Rimmel London and is meant to be waterproof and long lasting; it does no such thing! I don't know if it's just my eyes or if it's just a crap product but Tanya Burr said it was good so technically I blame her. Haha! I also use a Tanya Burr recommend mascara which I also like! It's The Falsies Winged by Maybelline. I really like the winged effect but I would prefer a more volumising mascara, so I think I'll also have to purchase They're Real or BADGal by Benefit! I think a major makeup splurge is in order!

This is obviously very basic but it works for my for my everyday makeup! I know this was a very chatty post but I hope you enjoyed it! I would really appreciate a few comments telling me what you would like to see next; I'm thinking of doing a wishlist post or How I Style.  

Thank you so much for reading! I'll be with you next week, ciaoooo! ✿

Picnic in the Park - OOTD ✿



Okay, okay, I know I promised a haul about 4 weeks ago, but I only had a few things and thought it would be a more substantial blog post with more garments! So I'm waiting to accumulate some bits to show you guys! For now, I'm here with an OOTD. Yesterday I spent the day at Priory Park, Southend to have a little picnic, enjoy the sun and of course take my new things out for a spin!! 


Thought this picture was cute, "candid camera!".
Top: H&M £6.99 // Skirt: Topshop £16 // Socks: Topshop £3.50
// Shoes: Adidas Shell Toe (retro/second hand) //
 Sunglasses: New Look £4.99 //
 Necklace: Primark £-- //
Bracelet: handmade


I'm wearing Models Own Nail Polish in Toxic Apple - Ice Neon
I'm so glad I've actually been able to get out and wear my skater skirt, I feel like it doesn't have the same effect in winter! Finally summer is here, it's taken it's time but it's here and I'm going to make the absolute most of it this year as summers are almost unheard of in England! Ha ha!


Ooo, I went a bit "graphic art" with this picture but I think these shoes deserve it! These are the new addition to my humble shoe collection, kindly given to me by my aunt! My aunt and uncle have the most amazing shoe collection and my aunt had generously given two pairs of shoes, one addidas (these ones) and Nike Air Force 1's. These types of shoes are becoming sooo popular and I'm so grateful that I have a stylish auntie because she's saved me a lot of money, ha ha!

I had been given these Addidas Shell Toe shoes and because they're black I struggled on ways I could style them, without making them look groovy, ha ha. Eventually I pulled this outfit together and I love it! I can't wait to style these shoes more!

I hope you've enjoyed my blog post, I'm going to aim to create at least 1 blog post a week, my project deadline is coming up soon so hopefully after that I'll have a lot more time to think of fun things to do on this blog! 

Thank you so much for reading, and keep your eyes peeled for either a "how I style" or "lookbook" type post!

Ciao! ✿
