Dainty Necklace

You are either that 'big statement necklace girl' or 'dainty necklace girl', however I think I switch between the two. Recently I have really wanted a simple dainty necklace, I said that to my best friend the other day and she was like "FINALLY, Seema". I feel like I have been missing out, everyone well most girls have a dainty necklace they wear all the time.

There is just something about it that I love so much I just can't explain it, maybe because they look pretty and cute. Or just give your outfit a lift all the time. I was like right, Miss indecisive, I need to start looking around and picking one. BUT man, isn't it hard to pick one, definitely when I have pictured something in yours mind. I really want something plain nothing big or that stands out but is still noticeable.

I have looked a few places but noticed this brand called Dogeared I love how minimalist they are. Anyone heard of them? But they do exactly what I want. But then I realised I wanted an short chain where it would just sit on my collar bone, (I know I'm not asking for much ;)!).

I will show you some below of the ones I like, I'm not going to lie I really do like these just wanted them on a shorter chain.

                      

Any suggestion where I could get one?

2015 Wishlist.

Lipstick: MAC Lipstick  | Slippers: Uggs Cozy | Camera: Nikon | Top: Topshop

I know it is only just the beginning of the year but it is never too early to start making a wishlist. This is quite a small wishlist but I'm sure by the end of the month another blog post will be going up. So I have just included things I really want to get my hands on right now! However, I don't know how easy it is going to be because a few of these things are normal out of stock most of the time like the MAC lipstick and the UGG slippers. I just have to impulse buy them as soon as I see them available.

Is there anything you want after the Christmas break? or you would love to get your hands on?

2015, new beginnings, new adventures.

                                        

Can you believe it is 2015!? However, I'm so excited for 2015, and for some reason. I feel quite positive about the year ahead. Although I think some goals should be set, so I can look over this year and say I have had a good one. I feel like this year I’m going to open up and get more direction in. So here are my goals ....

01 Be more adventurous. This was pretty much want to achieved this day just got to generally leave my comfort zone!

02 Travel & Explore more. As London is at my doorstep; I go to the same constantly. I really need to take advantage of London and explore new places. Also, I barely travelled last year. This year I'd like to plant my feet on some unfamiliar ground. I’m sure where but that would be the excitement of the unknown.

03 Weight Gain. This is more on the personal side, but I give myself this goal every year. So, in 2015 I'm aiming to find put a few pounds but still eat healthy.

04 Communication more. I  am really bad at communicating with others, so I need to make this a priority this year. As seeing more of the people I love is so important.

A few of goals here and there but I feel like I can definitely work on them this year. Hopefully this is a wonderful year.

What are your goals for 2015?

2014.

This year has definitely been a good one, so I thought I would take some of my favourite photos and bring together them for all to see. By doing college, it took me back to some memorable times from 2014. I had a really hard time choosing photos but I definitely think the above sums up the year.

However, I think for 2015 change is needed, but sometimes normality is more fun, and I hope I see more of this in 2015!

Off to Narnia

I'm not someone who loves winter, however, I think this is becoming to be my favourite time of the year! As you are able to layer up and get all cosy before heading out. 

This Christmas, we headed up to Monmouth, Wales with my whole family for a short break. 

On the last day on the way to Forest of Dean, my uncles car broke down which lead to this little adventure to Narina.

A mini NARS haul

I finally purchased NARS Sheer Glow in the shade Syracuse. This foundation is a bloody amazing product and mention by many beauty bloggers But with no surprise it took me so long to purchase.  It has definitely exceeded my expectations. This is the most beautiful foundation I've ever tried. I was shocked at how my skin looked so smooth and luminous even after I have removed it all. Sheer Glow is a medium to full coverage foundation. The formula and consistency is easily blendable and buildable easily.When applying the foundation it provided coverage without looking cakey.

Overall, the Nars Sheer Glow gets big thumbs up from me as it differently works for my dry skin work. I wouldn’t recommend this foundation for people who have oily skin or an oily t-zone.

I also picked up a new lipstick, I'm a sucker for a new lipstick when I saw the NARS Audacious lipsticks, the colours were so gorgeous and pigmented and they came in this fancy new, magnetic packaging. 

I was pretty overwhelmed at the counter. The formula isn't completely matte, but it's pigmented for sure, And I have always loved a matte lipstick. So I tried a few shades on the back of my hand, from pinks to dark plums.

Liv is a warm purple with a semi-matte finish. I need a new winter shade. It has a beautiful warm undertone to it that I couldn't refuse definitely for the winter months.

They are really smooth to apply, however I still want to try it with a lip brush as I may thing this would be easier.  

With so many shades to choose, which shades do you have your eye on? Or any NARS products I need to purchase?

Review: Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

So after my last blog, I thought now has been longer enough for me to review Garnier Micellar water. As most of would have already hear alot about Bioderma’s Crealine H₂0 Cleaner. As I had never purchase Bioderma, I thought I would get my hands on this Garnier one.

It is s a makeup remover, which is gentle on the skin. And an easy and effective way to remove all traces of makeup, plus fantastic on sensitive skin. ALSO you don’t even have to rinse your face after! (But I still do).

I absolute love this makeup remover! Literally with one large cotton pad I’m able to remove all traces of makeup. It feels hydrated on the skin, and really replenishing after. I would definitely recommend this, it does wonders with the your face.

Let me know if you have brought it and your thoughts, or thinking of buying it?

Unorganised Sister

From the title you can see how I got stuck into this situation. My sister is really unorganized, so she asked for me to help me her find an outfit for a boat party she is going to tonight, yes I said tonight. We went around town for three hours just trying to find an outfit it was a nightmare. The dress code for this event was smart; it took us a while to find out what my sister really wanted to wear. Finally, in River Island spotted a plain leather skirt that would be dressed down or up for any occasion. We paired this with a simple crop top and a dressy necklace.

Outfit

Necklace: Topshop (Can't find on the website but is in store)

Skirt: River Island

Bralet Top: Topshop 

Heels: River Island (She has had them for a while)

Bag: Celine

As I had helped her with her outfit I thought that is fine I have done my bit, but it wasn’t over yet for me. She asked me to do her makeup. So I never really do other peoples makeup but my sister kept asking me, so I thought why not and can show you guys what I used for makeup for nights out (I’m not amazing, so do excuse anything that may look a bit crap). I went for a simple but elegant eye makeup and subtle face makeup.

Lifestyle: Shoreditch Food Village

I went for a burrito with grilled chicken and the other entire amazing bit with it, but had to obviously added guacamole. It was such a good burrito and exactly what I needed when you are quite peckish.

It was such a filling snack but so worth the money. I would so recommend this cool little pop up food village, for those who like to go to different places in London and explore.

If you are Shoreditch and you want a lovely snack for lunch I would defiantly suggest Shoreditch Food Village! They do different types of food around the world that will suit everyone’s taste, this is something I wouldn’t want people to miss, so I had to tell you about it.
