Style crush: Twin Peaks

So recently in-between doing loads of uni work I've been watching Twin Peaks and I'm a little obsessed. The whole setting of the show is so pretty and the cast are just some of the most flawless people I've ever set eyes on but mainly I'm obsessed with the clothes and style of the female cast, classic cuts, pencil skirts, polo knits perfect make up and the most perfect flowing locks all day long.


So I picked some pretty things that I can wear while pretending I'm a a resident. 

Earrings: Topshop £12
Red polo: Topshop £38
Pink fluffy jumper: Topshop £36
Soft Matte Lip cream NYX: £5.50
Loafers: Office £60
Green A-line skirt: Monki £20
Pink cropped knitted jumper: Topshop £42
Tartan skirt: New Look £18

I actually just bought some NYX make up after reading so many amazing reviews! So I'll post about that soon :) 
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Real Housewives Addiction




So on Saturday I finally got this book and I was SO excited, I'd been waiting ages and since I was off work I actually had time to read it. 
I was hooked and finished it by Saturday evening. I'd watched this season where Taylor was dealing with these issues, but never really thought much of it. The whole thing was pretty vague in the show. Real houswives is hella dramatic at the best of times and only shows a little of what's really going on and obviously it's over the top, but Taylor's problems were much worse that it seems on the show and although the book is definitely not a positive story, it does have a positive outcome and is totally worth a read if your a fan. 
I now want all the books by the housewives I'm just a trashy TV addict, a new season started on ITV today but I've been busy with uni work so haven't watched. 
Being back at uni has been taking up all my time, I've hardly been to the gym and I haven't had the energy to work out at home, hopefully I can get on top of it this week and get back next week. 

Today I wore this super cute Meow jumper from the Bats and Cats range at Forever 21! I love it, Cuddles meh.

OOTD

 Yesterday I went for birthday dinner with my family so I got to wear a pretty new dress I'd got for my birthday. I love this Zara dress, its super pretty. Zara isn't my usual go to shop, but recently I've been going more and found so many pretty dresses in styles/ shapes that are exactly what I'm always looking out for. I still don't have a tripod so Wes is my photo taker and he does a good job!


Dress: Zara
Jumper: H&M
Necklace: River Island
Boots: New Look

Wishlist

So it's just been my birthday and I got lots of pretty stuff so shouldn't really be looking at more things, but I need breaks in between boring writing dissertation stuff.
When I was in London I went to the muji store and I love the storage boxes!! I don't really have any proper make up storage just now, but these are so perfect and really affordable.


Coco Fennel do the prettiest dresses, I already have 2 and I adore them! This sailor dress is something I can imagine wearing all the time its just SO cute. The tutti fruity one is also amazing.


Last thing i'm lusting over is some NYX make up. I've read so many good things about NYX and I really want to try a few of their lip products I've just never got round to actually ordering. I'm on a spending ban after going a little wild with birthday presents, but after I hand in some essays this stuff is on my rewards list.

A weekend in London

So for my 21st birthday I really wanted to go to London for the weekend, I'm not in to big parties but wanted to do something fun and go somewhere different. Its not actually my birthday till Wednesday, but I think a whole birthday week is appropriate. I found a deal on groupon for 2 nights in a hotel in Canary Wharf for super cheap so I booked that and got tickets to the Harry Potter studio tour which I was so excited about!

Wes and I got the train from Glasgow on friday and were in London for around half 5 we didn't do much on that night just found the hotel and wandered around. We had dinner at the Gourmet Burger Kitchen which was really good, they do the best chocolate milkshakes!!




We ate so much yummy food!
  We went to this amazing bubble tea place in Soho, I had passion fruit green tea with popping lychee jelly and regular boba it was so yummy!!




 Then we went to Harry Potter tours, out tickets were for the last admission of the day which was at 6.30pm. If anyone is going the shuttle bus runs till 10pm not half 5 like it says on the website! The tour was all of the amazing and more. I love the costumes and wigs and just seeing how everything was built and the amazing amount of work it took to make everything come to life.












Dolores Umbridges costumes are my absolute favourite! The cat badge is just the cutest thing. Her office is also amazing with cat faces on plates and pink everything. 




The gift shop has a lot of stuff, but the prices are insane. Wes got me a chocolate frog and keyring and that cost around £15 so expensive! Also I tried butterbeer and its horrendous like so bad, I love a sugary drink and have a massive sweet tooth but this stuff is disgustingly sweet and also overpriced at £2.95 for a teeny cup.



On the Sunday we went to the British Museum. Wes loves history and was really excited about some of the exhibitions I had fun too :) 

I also went shopping on Carnaby street, but didn't really get any pictures. I loved the Monki store and could have spent a small fortune, but only actually left with a skirt however there was a voucher in the bag for 25% off so I may have bought some stuff online.








My weekend was amazing and I had so much fun! For my actual birthday on Wednesday i'm going to see Danny Elfmans music from the films of Tim Burton so i'm really excited about that! :)

Bank holiday monday

So yesterday was a bank holiday in Glasgow and I was off uni and work so met my mum, sister and niece Sophie to get our nails done and have lunch.


I had a matcha latte and vegetable gyoza dumpling soup in Eat. I love all things matcha and eat have done good these lattes are SO good.

I got some pretty pink stiletto nails. I actually don't love the shape I don't think they are totally even, but they look fine unless your up close, but next time I will go somewhere different. 


Since i'm off work for 2 week and I can have pretty nails I got some new polish to try out. I love Barry M colours so i'm excited to try these Gelly ones.
