February Wishlist

So far this month there are a few items I've been wishing for. Bring on pay day, only 2 and a bit weeks to go!

1. This liquid eyeliner is my absolute favourite. It's by Maybelline and is called Hyper Glossy. I have one of these which is almost dried out now and they're not available in the UK! I absolutely love the formulation of it, it's so jet black and as the name suggests it leaves a gorgeous gloss finish. I bought mine in Thailand and have recently come across them being sold on ebay! hoorah!

2. The floppy hat at the top would be a brave purchase for me to make. I have never worn hats other than wooly ones, and only then as a necessity in cold weather. I LOVE the look of these floppy hats on other people, with loosely curled long hair and styled in a boho kind of way. If I can get out there and wear one this season (provided it actually suits me) I will be mega proud to have left my comfort zone! I may have to wait until we have less windy weather though... This hat is from Topshop.

3. This denim playsuit was available in Topshop last year, and although more dungaree styles are all over the place I really do prefer this romper-style version. Luckily New Look have re-released them! Topshop may bring them back out too, so I'll be looking out for something similar in the next few weeks. Perfect for summer holidays, festivals, or even layering up to wear in the cold weather.

4.This moon phase t-shirt is well 'reblogged' on Tumblr and I found them on ebay. Perfect for a 90s grunge look. I could see it worn underneath the acid wash playsuit with fishnet tights some black chunky boots, and a stretchy choker necklace.

5. I've been a fan of Pandora jewellery for a few years now, having worked in a store myself, and I wear my two-tone bracelet every day. Sadly a few months ago I lost my handbag charm with the gold bow on it. I got it on a shopping trip with my Mam in London so it had sentimental value, and I plan on repurchasing it asap!

6. I never thought I'd have a shower product that I would love more than Lush's snow fairy shower gel, BUT I may have to put it on hold. I just ran out of the soap and glory sugar crush body wash, and I need it back in my life. It smells absolutely amazing!! So super fresh, citrusy and delicious.

7. Having been using my new Canon EOS 600D that I got for Christmas I've realised that I absolutely need a remote control to use alongside it. Perfect for taking outfit photos when I'm by myself and I wont have to rely on self timer. They're only around £20 from Argos. Must-have for blogging!

8. Bleach London are a company that specialise in funky hair colours and they've recently released their products in Boots! I saw the rose colour in store and it's the perfect candy floss pink colour. Since I'm blonde and it'd be relatively easy to dye, I'll HAVE to give this a go! I've had 'normal' coloured hair for the past few months and that's far too long in my opinion!

Thanks for reading!

My Favourite Little Tapas Bar

Saturday, 8 February 2014
Today I went into college to hand in my deposit for our ever so exciting Italy trip that my class will be going on in a couple of months time *squeal*! And because it's half term this week the CAAD suite where we do our work was only open until 2.30pm. Because I had so much to do this morning, like leisurely get ready and untangle my untameable hair for what seemed like hours, I got into Newcastle at like 12, sooo me and Amy decided to wander into town for some lunch. 

The first time I went to Salsa was on a night out in a group, where we randomly saw it was open and looked cute. When our food came it was soooo good and so unbelievably cheap we ordered even more. It was all gone in no time and it became my new favourite bar for an awesomely tasty Spanish bite to eat. It seems to be open pretty much all the time too, late into the night with live acoustic music and a cosy atmosphere.

Today though it was a gloomy and rainy nothing out of the ordinary Tuesday lunch time and we chose to sit on the comfy couches and munch on some nachos. Bear in mind that a 'mini nachos' is a full dinner plate size with all the trimmings... salsa, guacamole, sour cream, melted cheese, fried beans and jalapeños! The 'Montana nachos' would definitely be for a group of around like 6 people!

Sitting somewhere cosy in Newcastle with my besty Amy is one of my favourite things to do. Having a chat, taking some pictures and just chilling out. Aaaah

Yesterday my friend Amy and I had a day out in the small Northumbrian town of Morpeth. It's such a cute place to visit with one-off shops and cute little cafes, one of which we stopped off at for a coffee and some amazing butterscotch cake!
This is what I wore for our day out.
