New Years Resolutions?

What are your new years resolutions?

This year I have decided to create ones that I should stick too! I could go on and say I want to become a gym girl and eat no carbs or chocolate. But that is not going to happen...

 

So here mine are:-

1. Drink more water - how many times have we been told to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day? must be hundreds. I love water so drinking more isn't a problem to me. So cutting out pop and replacing it with water should be an easy move for me!

2. Drink green tea! - apparently the benefits to green tea are sensational and I have heard it helps "speed" up weight loss when dieting and exercising. As this is something I am also doing, however its not in my resolutions as I don't know how likely I am to do it all year round!!

3. Blog some more - I love blogging, I feel I can talk about makeup and not bore anybody, however all my spare time is taken up with university, I'm in my last 3 months... which is seriously scary. But blogging once a week about something, makeup, fashion etc.

4. Save money! - I never have spare money to go buy makeup or a new top, so once a month I am making sure I buy myself a new item of clothing and a new makeup product that I want to try!

5. Wear my glasses more! - I would say when I was at uni before Christmas I had a headache 4/7 days... Not healthy or nice and this is due to not wearing my glasses, early morning and late nights and lots of work and reading. When I was on Christmas break I haven't had one headache, nor have I looked at one book or written 1000 words on Microsoft... So if I'm at uni or on my laptop... glasses on!

Well that's it, my 5 easy to stick to resolutions, ones that I really should stick too.. Obviously I have the standard get fit and loose some weight.. but I don't want to down hearten myself when its comes to February and I haven't been for a run once..... haha

What are yours?

What I wore - NYE Edition

Firstly - Sorry for my absence! It's been busy over the Christmas period (as it is for everybody, so big welldones from me for keeping on top of it!)
So, I'm coming back with a post of what I wore for new years eve. Now, I didn't go over the top as I didn't go to any fancy parties, just went into my home town with my friends to celebrate the new year.

 

So here is what I wore:-

Sorry for the bad quality - I haven't yet got my camera sorted but I still wanted to show you what I wore.

 

Dress is from Newlook, and I'm pretty sure it's in the sale now. It looks rather black here but it has a very definite gold fleck to it which I love! The necklace came attached however I felt it hung too low so I unhooked it from the dress and wore it as an actual necklace. I have fell in love with this and been wearing it with pretty much every outfit over the Christmas period!

 

Shoes are from misguided, which I got for Christmas from my grandmar and granddad, last time I looked they weren't online anymore so sorry about that!

 

Clutch is from my mums wardrobe, I ALWAYS forget to take a bag home with me, so I raided my mums draw and found this cream cute little bag, I actually think It went pretty well!

 

Finally I have my Michael Kors watch on and my new Michael Kors bracelet which I got from my gorgeous boyfriend for Christmas, I love it!

Again - sorry for bad quality!

But its a gorgeous gold bracelet, chunky belt like clasp with orange enamel sides as you can see from the picture! It literally is the most beautiful bracelet, Orange is my favourite colour and it goes perfectly with my orange Pandora ring!

 

What did you guys where for NYE?

Link your blogs in the comments so I can have a look!

What is on my christmas wish list?

With it been only six more days until Christmas! (yes only 6, where has this year gone??)

I thought I would show you what I have kindly asked for Christmas this year.

I do know I have got a few of these already! Lucky lucky me, but I did have to go get colour matched and help my mum get them - plus she came to visit for the weekend a couple of weeks ago, so we had a lovely shopping day.

 

 

 

 

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer - £18.50 Buy Here!

I have been dying to try this for a good year now, and finally, I have asked for it for Christmas! (This is on that I know I have, and oh I am excited for Christmas day!)

Black and Gold Dress - £22.99 Buy Here!

I love this, I'm not so keen about the necklace added on, but it is detachable. Perfect New Years Eve dress for me!

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette - £37.00 Buy Here!

Now I know the Naked 3 Palette I out now, but I just have been in love with this one for ages now and haven't been able to afford it, I do love the look of the Naked 3, but not as much as I love the colour selection in this one, I love that there is a deep black, but then all the neutrals that I basically use on a everyday basis! This will be my first Naked palette. I cannot wait to play with this!!

Ted Baker - Large Wash Bag - £29.00 Buy Here!

Again, this has been on my wish list for around a year, and I think I have this I spotted something hiding in one of my mums draws when I went home last weekend. (No I wasn't looking on purpose, I promise!!)

Soap and Glory, One Heck Of A Blot - £12.00 Buy Here!

Again, this is something I have lusted after, read rave reviews but never actually got round to purchasing it. I also feel £12.00 is a lot for a drug store powder, I love Rimmel Stay Matte and that's £4 and I'm happy to pay that, but £12! So, of course I asked for it for Christmas!

Topshop, Zip Side Boots - £80 Buy Here!

Now, lets be honest, how beautiful are these!? Again, I would never buy myself a pare of boots this expensive! (However next winter I am, I must of spent around £100 on £30 boots this winter because they just don't last! So next year, I WILL pay that much and hope they last longer then 2 months!)

I know I wont be getting these for Christmas, because I have another pair off misguided that aren't online anymore, I did want to include a beautiful pair of boots though, and these really are beautiful aren't they!

 

So, this is my Christmas wish list! What have you got on yours??

Nearly Over

So Christmas is nearly here and the exam period is over!

Tomorrow I will be free from uni for about 2 weeks to enjoy the festive period, eat mince pies and drink too much mulled wine!

Then sadly I have to get back to writing my dissertation. How upsetting. So you should see some more posts coming from me soon!

 

Hope your all well and feel free to leave me a comment!
