OOTD- BBQ Party

It was Louise's mum's birthday on Saturday and to celebrate she had a Birthday BBQ. We wanted to do this post to show you the outfits we wore- along with our friend Rachel. 


Louise is wearing a lovely top from New look, which has an aztec print using blue,black,white and red. I really like the crochet flower detailing on the back. She is also wearing dark denim shorts from primark and black havaianas. Louise also dip dyed her hair blue recently (it is now PINK) so I thought that looked very nice, her hair was curly which looked very natural and pretty.



I wore a pink skirt that has a floral pattern on it from Forever 21, I really liked the light colour. I also wore a crop top from river island (which Louise picked) and my shoes are also from river island too. 

Our friend Rachel looked lovely, she wore a top from Primark with different coloured butterflies and it was bright and appropriate for summer. She then wore raspberry shorts from New Look and some sandals from Clarks.



I wore my favourite two rings, ones pandora and the other was one I bought in Tenerife but I cant remember the brand name (I'll search it up though) I then wore a bracelet from Primark and for a joke i wore my one direction wrist band :')




Rachel also wore some lovely jewelry, she wore some gorgeous anklets- one she bought on holiday and the other was a present from Louise. I also really loved the detail in the shoes - its really pretty. Her toenails also match her shorts which was really nice.

I've never done one of these posts before so if you have any feedback or help on what I should do better please leave a comment below, also what's everyones plans for the summer. Hope you enjoyed reading this, thanks bye. Rachel and Louise xxx



Things That Make Me Happy

Hey everyone, after seeing this post on our friends Hayley's blog (check it out here - its amazing) we really wanted to do it, it looks really fun and maybe some fellow bloggers will like the same things. All the images i've found could be found on google, tumblr, weheartit or pintest. 

I think bows in people's hair is so cute. I think it looks nice when the bow matchs the outfit. It's just a little accessory that really completes a look. 

I'm always trying to look for cute rings like this but the ones I find are a bit edgy and chunky for me. I have really thin long fingers so I have to have a small ring and this one looks small, cute and dainty. Louise doesn't like this ring though :(

How cool is this? I like eggs but if they looked like this that would just be amazing. I need to find these, they look adorable.

Louise and I have been watching The Carrie Diary's its so good but can we just take a minute to look at him, he's gorgeous. I don''t know how many times Louise and I have reblogged this on tumblr. 

And then there's little Ezra for all you Pretty Little Liars fans, he's so cute. I love Ezra so much! I also love when a new pretty little liars episode comes out too, that makes me super happy! 

These nails are so nice, i really like how the ring finger has a lovely floral pattern its so pretty and simple. I really like the pink and I think these nails would match any outfit. Love them!

I love this picture and the quote too. I would love to travel and this picture makes me want to so much.

I would love to go to New York, my family and I are going for my 18th and I can't wait. I know so many places I want to visit... and shop.

Thanks for reading, if you have any suggestions or tips to make the blog a little better please feel free to leave a comment. Thank you so much, xxx

How Much Does My Face Cost?

So as usual i was stalking Hayley's blog and seen her upload this tag post. I thought it was a great idea as it shows how much money is actually spent on just your everyday products.




Eyes:
Urban Decays Naked Palette - £36.00 however i actually paid around £24 for mine.
Loreal paris Super Liner perfect slim (black) -£6.99
Benefits They're Real (black) - £19.99
Urban Decay Brow box - £17.00

Skin:
Collection 2000 lasting collection concealer - £4.19
Collection 2000 pressed powder - £2.99
Benefits Coralista blusher - £23.50 which i got for £21.00

Lips:
EOS lipbalm in mint - £3.00

Overall that adds up to an astonishing £99.16 however during the summer months the skin products are not in use. I have to make an excuse here and its going to be that the more expensive items were bought over a large amount of time. As i never bought the naked palette until this February. And Rachel did this with me and hers was £198 so i dont feel as bad. Hope you enjoyed this post, Louise, xx

The Pretty Little Liars Tag


1. Favourite Character and why? 
Aria, I love her style and she's so unique too. I love how she's so creative and artsy and that she is also quite funny in scenes. I also like Aria's story-lines the best. 
2. Least favourite character and why?
I really hated Wilden, for a police officer he was really creepy and I did not like how he tryed to threaten Hannah's mum. I also don't like Melissa, I think she can be really mean to Spencer at times and I didn't like her when she was first introduced.
3. What's your A theories?
I think that there is an A team- that Mona used to be a part of. I think the members of the team are really close with the girls and some are hopefully trying to protect them. I also think that there is a leader of the A team and that could be Alison's twin- who wants revenge. I think that the show are sort of going along with the books in that way.
4. Favourite Couple?
Ezria, I loved them together and found there story lines really gripping. I talk to some of my friends about the show but they don't seem to like the Ezria story lines because they take away from the main show but I love them. Please let them get back together. 
5. Prettiest Liar?
I think it would be Aria, I love her hair.
6.Funniest Liar?
Hannah, no doubt!
7. Favourite quote(s)?
"people aren't dolls you can't just play with them and put them back in the box when you're done" and "you're leaving because it's easier to walk away than to fight for what you really want"
8. Do you love or hate Ali?
I love Ali- I honestly think she is looking out for the girls and trusted the wrong group of people which caused her to be killed. Even though she was mean to the girls I think it was deliberate so that they would become stronger. I think she's a brilliant character. 
9. Favoruite outfit so far?
10. Favourite scence/ moment?
When Aria runs after Ezra and they kiss in the school car park or when Ezra turns up at the masquerade ball and they dance together. I basically love any Ezria scene. I also loved when Mona revealed that she was on the A team, that was so gripping and it was such an amazing episode.
11. Jaria or Ezria?
Ezria
12. Spoby or Spalex?
Spoby
13. Character you miss?
I don't really miss any of the characters because the ones that have died are all really mean and not very nice. I'm so glad that they are not in the story anymore. I liked Maya but I really liked Emily and Paige so much so I'm kinda glad that she is gone in a way.
14. Hottest Character?
Ezra
15. Favourite friendship between the liars?
I really like Spencer and Aria together, they are so funny. Team Sparia!
16. What do you think will happen next in the show?
I think they will try and find out how Alison was killed and who is the leader of the A team. I also think that someone really unexpected will be on the A team. I also hope that the all go to universities and stuff. 
17. Character with the best family?
I think Aria has the best family, I like her mum better than the others but I think her Dad is a little creepy. However, I like Emily's dad but think her mum is quite strict.
18. What would you steal from your favourite liar?
I would steal Aria's face, Hannah's Style, Spencer's intelligence and Emily's down to earth personality.
19. Worst scene/ moment?
The Ezria break up was horrible, so was the Haleb break up. The worst was when it was revealed that Toby was on the A team, that was a heartbreaking moment. 
20. Which character would you marry?
Ezra
21.Which character do you want to become best friends with?
Aria or Hannah
22. Which Liars life is the most similar to yours?
Hannah because she likes to shop and likes fashion and so do I.
23. Which character would be your enemy?
I can see myself not liking Melissa because she is kinda mean and I just think that I would not get along with her. I also don't like Jenna and Shauna they are so creepy together and Jenna is just all round weird. She needs to leave the girls alone.
24. An unpopular opinion?
I didn't really like Maya, I didn't like how she was so rebellious and took drugs. She was also kinda mean to Emily at times even though they did have a good relationship. I think Paige cares about her so much more and Paige is nice and tries to protect Emily.
25. What do you think of Jenna and Melissa?
I don't really like them because they are mean but I do like how they make the show more gripping and interesting.
26. Favouite episode as a whole?
I think the season 2 finale was so good because I loved the masquerade theme. I love how Toby came back, how Ezra surprised Aria and how they found out that Mona was on the A team. It was just a brilliant episode as a whole.
27. If you were to pick an actor/ actress to be on the show, who would you pick and why?
I would love Zac Efron to be in it. I love him. Maybe he could be an older brother that could protect the girls and could watch out for them.
28. Theories for Ali's death, killer and killers reason to do it?
I think that Alison has a twin and that she killed the real Alison, there's just so many clues that make you think that she did have a twin sister. I think she killed her because there was a lot of fighting and they did not get along. I've not read the books but apparently one of them has a mental problem so maybe that's why the other twin killed Ali.
29. What is your opinion on Spoby, Haleb, Ezria and Paily?
I LOVE THEM ALL, ARIA AND EZRA NEED TO GET BACK TOGETHER. 
30. What's been the scariest A moment?
I did not like when Ezra and aria were kissing in the car at Mona's party in season 1 and A was behind them writing on the car window. That creeped me out. I also did not like when Spencer was in the changing rooms and all the snakes came in, that was really terrifying.

Louise's Holiday Haul

As you all know i went away for two weeks on holiday, i never bought anything in the airport, however i thought i would show you the items i bought when i was there.

I'm a huge fan of nail polish even though my nails aren't in best condition however when i was on holiday i found a store that sold Essie nail polish. You can buy Essie in boots stores however i find the price to be a bit too high for what i would like to spend on a nail polish as they are around £10. However on holiday i got mine for around 10 euros which is about £8 which is a bit more reasonable. 





The first one i got is called 'Naughty Nautical' this is from their new summer collection. This is very aqua blue with a slight silver shimmer through it. I like it as the shimmer isn't to obvious and i'm not really a fan of glittery nails.

The second is called 'Fear and Desire' i think this is part of there permanent line. This is a very bold and bright orange. I like wearing this on my toe nails.



I also bought a pair of havaiana flip flops on holiday. Usually i wear cheap primark flip flops however last year i invested in a pair of white havaianas. I wore them most of my holiday and are very well lasting. This year i knew i was going to get a pair but i wasn't sure which ones, i ended up getting a black pair that are more of a sandal than a flip flop and look more girly than the others. I find them really comfortable to wear and they dont hurt in between my toes, i even wore them on the plane home. 

Hope you all are enjoying the continuous blog posts, tomorrow is Rachels day and she is uploading an exciting tag post, may be a few joint ones at the weekend, Louise xx

Review: Benefit Feelin' Dandy Set

Hi, it's Rachel. As part of our summer to do list Louise and I thought that we would get back on track and start our blog back up. We really enjoyed writing posts but we just got a bit busy and there was not a lot of time but now hopefully we will get back into doing some more.


If you know me i'm  always one for cute packaging and something girly so when my auntie bought me this set for my birthday i was over the moon as i just loved the packing. It's called benefit feelin' dandy. It also is really small so you can take it on holiday which is great as this time of the year most people are going on holiday.

As for the make up inside. Brilliant!


First of all there is a miniature size posie tint which will last a long time. Posie is a lovely light pink colour and paired with the blush looks flawless and gives a nice summery glow to your cheeks. It can also be worn as a lip tint and lasts a long time. Since it's a tint its great for summer as it can stay on even if you sweat from the warm weather.
There is also a high beam which is also miniature and i love high beam. If you just apply a small drop it can really go a long way. I think it makes your skin look more healthy and radiant and it can really boost your confidence because you have nice skin. Also, since the weather is nice the high beam will show up more as the days are brighter.
There is also a small dandelion blush, which smells amazing and looks great too. It gives a glow to cheeks making them brighter and it would look good on any skin   I think it would look especially good on people with paler skin. There is also a small blush brush which you can use to apply the blush.
Finally, the last product in the set is a small dandelion lip gloss which is really sheer and gives a lovely natural look its not sticky which is great and hair does not get stuck to your lips as much.

The set also has a tips and tricks book which is great if you want to follow the looks and they do look lovely. The set is great size, all the product are long lasting and its a great price as you are getting more products rather than just buying the one. The set is 25.50 which is a bit expensive but when you are buying more products for the price of one its worth it and i recommend the set so much.
Here is a link to the product here if you would like to read a little more about it or would like to buy it.

Thank you for reading and please stay tuned because we have a lot more ideas for blog posts thank you so much for reading. xx

Louise's Music Favourites

Hello, here's for another crap explanation why we have been absent for a while. Oh well there's not really a good excuse except we've both been on holiday for the past two weeks. As usual life got in the way.

I thought i would do a music favourites as i really enjoy listening to music and have quite a varied music taste. However it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but i hope you take at least one song/artist from it.

First is The 1975, the first song by them i heard was the famous 'Chocolate' i feel its a very summer and happy song. I also have a few others such as 'Sex', 'The City' and 'You' on my iTunes. I was jealous as they played T in the park (Scottish music festival) last weekend when i was on holiday. There album comes out soon so i'm really looking forward to listening to that.
I'm a fan of You Me At Six however after seeing the lead singer Josh Franceschi posting pictures of a him at the concert of Teagan and Sara i have become a fan of theirs. I really enjoy the song 'I Was A Fool'. Its very relaxing and i find myself having it stuck in my head for hours.

And obviously, Miley Cyrus, her new song 'We Cant Stop' is my summer song and is just a very upbeat tune. Its a bit of a change to her old Hannah Montana ways buy i have to say i do enjoy this song.


At the start of June Rachel and i went to the cinema with a couple of friends to see Great Gatsby. I havent read the book but the movie was very good, and the soundtrack is just as good. Some of the songs are a bit more suited to the older generation but my favourites are 'A Little Party Never Killed Nobody' by Fergie, 'Young and Beautiful' by Lana Del Rey, 'Crazy In Love' by Emelie Sande and 'No Church in the Wild' by Jay-Z and Kayne West.


Bastille have also been a big favourite of mine over the last few months. I feel that this band is quite alternative as Rachel is not a fan. However i have to say i really do like them, some of my favourites being 'Oblivion', 'Pompeii', 'Things We Lost in the Fire' and 'Weight of Living' part 1 and 2.

I have not heard any other songs by Haim however the song 'Falling' is definitely worth a listen. Also an alternative sound but very pop-y and upbeat.

Hope you enjoyed this post next one will be from Rachel and should be up soon. Louise x
