I have been buying a lot recently, more than I should but I blame going on holiday for my unecessary impulse purchases. There's a handful of things I have reached for constantly during the end of July and first half of August. Keep reading to see what I have been obsessed with recently.


+ Kiko hydra-gloss '21' 
I have wanted a coloured gloss for the longest time, but one that actually lasts. Kiko have a wide range of lip stuff and I have used and loved a lot of their products and was not surprised when this one made the cut too. It's super glossy and pigmented too but I still apply a base colour first and then use this over the top.


+ Lightwash straight-legged jeans 'H&M' 
I love my straight-legged, 'mom' and oversized fit jeans, probably more than skinny jeans. They are extremely comfy and the light-wash, borderline acid wash, jeans are a little different. Ideal for the summer but can be worn during the colder months too.

+ Crystal gold bracelet 'Naina Barcelona' 
This is one of the nicest bracelets I have ever bought from being abroad, the upside it was only 7 euros but the downside is it will probably discolour in time. I love layering it with my watch and other bracelets.


+ Blending brushes 'Qivange' 
I needed some new eye brushes for the wedding and so naturally I used Amazon prime and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and the quantity considering the price. They are really fluffy and wash incredibly well.


+ Contrast stitch over-shirt 'H&M' 
I like this so much I bought it in Khaki too, both of these can be styled in so many ways. I've worn it as a shirt, a dress and a jacket too. They're great for layering and go perfectly with the rest of my wardrobe.

From going on holiday to Italy to being stuck at home stressfully revising for my second year law exams. Although this year I feel a little more content with exam season because making notes throughout the semester really saved my ass. Yet here I am finishing series and starting new ones on Netflix, will I ever learn? Regardless, here's a handful of favourites I have been loving towards the end of March and the start of April.



+ Gold shell necklaces

I have seen this trend creeping into this S/S with last years with gold shell choker trend. There is something so effortlessly beautiful about shell jewellery, especially with gold accents. There is a whole range of shell necklaces, bracelets and earrings on the highstreet. I love layering these with my gold coin necklaces from Germany. A trend that is definitely going to be loved this summer!


+ Crystal stacking bracelets

I picked these up from a little shop in Venice and they were super cheap but look really good paired with a few other bracelets and a watch. The neon yellow has to be my favourite. They look incredible with a tan and are not leaving my wrists anytime soon.


+ Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow kit 'sundipped' 

Liquid highlighters are my go-to for warmer weather but for when I want a little extra glow I have been reaching for this again. Usually I just swirl a little Laura Geller 'gilded honey' on my cheekbones but I have rediscovered my love for this glow kit!


+ The Ordinary 'aha' mask

My skin has been really bad recently because of bad eating habits, that time of the month and well exam stress. I love using this when I need my skin to restore itself and get rid of any dead skin as it is a chemical exfoliant/ peel mask. As instructed on the bottle this is a super quick mask, any longer than 10 minutes and it will start to tingle.
