May Favourites

I must say, the monochrome look was not intended at all, I've just been loving all things black and white it seems! 

I have quite a lot of favourites to talk about in today's post, so lets get started. 

1) BLACK FEDORA
I've been loving everything about this hat: the shape, the way it looks on, the size.  It looks so put together with any outfit and perfect for summer. Also, because it's not a big fedora hat, I don't have to worry about getting in other peoples way! 

2) RIPPED JEANS
I have been loving ripped jeans at the moment, whatever colour, I love them. They can make an outfit look so interesting, a bit edgy and nice to wear around this time of the year as it's not warm enough to go bare legged, but it's still nice to have some 'leg skin' poking out! I diyed these so they weren't bought ripped, but because they're so easy to rip it's such a bargain as you don't have to go out and buy another pair of black jeans. 

3) CAT-EYE SUNGLASSES
Words cannot even describe how much I adore these sunglasses. They're so classic and instantly make me feel 10x more confident, I've also been complemented quite a lot when wearing these so they were definitely worth the purchase. These ones are from Missguided! 

4) BLACK SANDALS
What's a summer wardrobe without sandals?! I'm not usually a sandals person - they've never really gone with my 'style' and I feel like they make my small feet look even more small, however when I saw these on Missguided I fell in love with them. They're very simple, with an ankle strap and a little heel which is perfect and are very comfortable. 

5) BLACK RUCKSACK
I got this black rucksack last year from Boohoo and didn't really like it at first. Luckily, I didn't send it back and for some reason, now I love it! It's such a perfect size to fit all the essentials in and stops me from overpacking! Although I would like the straps to be a little longer, I love the way it looks when I have it on - a perfect summer bag. 

7) PHONE CASE
I got this phone case this month from Amazon as I was after a new one and it's so pretty! The photo doesn't really do it justice but it's glittery, pink, sparkly and moves around. Not something that I would normally go for, but I love the way the glitter and pink stars flow in the case with every moment. 

6) BARRYM NAIL POLISH
I mentioned in my summer essentials that white nail polish is a must, and I love it! I have a love-hate relationship with white nail polish but in the summer months it's perfect. This one from BarryM doesn't chip easily and is the perfect consistency. I also found this plumpy top coat varnish which I was interested in - it claims to make nail polish look like gels and...it does completely this! Such an amazing top coat. 

7) SEVENTEEN FOUNDATION
When it comes to foundation, I'm very lazy. I like to stick with one that I know works wonders, but when my Rimmel London Match Perfection ran out, I knew it was time for me to pick up a new one. I've had this foundation for ages and I'm so glad I purchased it. The brand Seventeen has never really interested me however this foundation has made me realise that not all good products have to be ridiculously priced. This foundation has full coverage, but feels incredibly lightweight. It has an SPF of 25 which is great for summer, and leaves my skin looking flawless!

8) SEVENTEEN EYELINER

I haven't worn eyeliner in ages, probably since January! I have such a love-hate relationship with it, but I thought I'd give it another go and buy this seventeen eyeliner. Like I said above, I have never purchased makeup from seventeen but because I wasn't keen on spending too much £££ on something that I may not use again, I wanted to go for something cheap. Well, not only is this eyeliner cheap but it also is so easy to apply due to the very tiny tip of the brush and the blackness remains for the whole day - no smudging or pealing. This eyeliner is definitely a new found love. 

9) FLAT CONCEALER BRUSH

This little brush is so perfect - it's so small and flat which makes it handy for applying glittery eyeshadow or concealer in small places for extra care. I've been using this to help neaten up my eyebrows after I apply my eyebrow products. It's a very handy brush to have in the drawer and I'm very glad I found it!

See you soon.
