WISHLIST: July Edition

So there seems to be a bit of a blue theme going on, in case you didn't know blue is actually my favourite colour! 

1. Light Blue Nike Blazers. I know they've been around for so long, I've been wanting them since I first laid eyes on them and every time I see them I want them more. They'll be on my wish-list for a while I think. 

2. Blue Topshop bikini. Unfortunately this is actually not on sale from Topshop anymore however I really do want it so I shall be hunting it down!

3. Blue Fujifilm Polaroid. I honestly can't explain how much I want this. I have wanted a Polaroid my whole life and always used to mess around with my dads Polaroid when I was younger. The colour is so perfect in my opinion and I genuinely think this will be on my wish list until Christmas!

4. Duffel Bag Topshop. The pattern of this bag is quite wild however I really do like it. I recently bought a cheap duffel bag from Primark but I think I'd really like to invest in this one.

I know this was only a short wish list however I just haven't really seen anything else I'm really wanting.

OOTD: Summer Dress and Denim Jacket

Hello!

silly me squinting because of the sun!

If you live in Britain, you will know yesterday (Sunday) was an extremely hot & sunny day!
I took advantage of this and saw it as an opportunity to bring out the white summer dress I had recently bought from Primark. It was only £5 what a bargain!

I got really excited about the fact it was sunny

I teamed the dress with an acid wash denim jacket (also Primark - £12) and white Converse high tops.

Not a model I swear

You could say I find the trees in my garden interesting?

I decided to wear my flower garland I had recently bought from Primark (again!), I thought it really brought the outfit together and emphasised the 'girlyness' of the outfit.

Excuse the moody face!

As I was going out, I obviously needed a handbag so I used this brown bag which was given to me about a month ago by my mum.

I really love this outfit as I think it's flattering and very summery, to make it more girly, I could have worn ballet pump type shoes, however I think the Converse give the outfit a more casual look.

That's my first OOTD post for this blog and taking the photos was actually really fun, thank you to my little brother who was my 'photographer' he's the best! OOTD are one of my favourite posts to look at so I hope you enjoyed this!

JUNE favourites

Hello lovelies!

Can you believe it is already July?! Only 5 months until Christmas ;)

I thought I'd tell you my favourites of June.

My first favourite would have to be this Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer, I have the shade Classic Beige & it is perfect for me!

 

I was looking for a good concealer for a while that actually worked and trust me, this does! It brightens up my whole face when I have it on even though I only put it under my eyes, it is perfect at covering dark rings - which I must say I do get a lot of! - and for the whole of June, I have been wearing no foundation just this! I would most definitely recommend it as it also lasts for a long time. 

Next is the River Island Paris perfume which I recently done a review on here. 

I won't go into too much detail as I have already wrote a lot about it in my review post, but this going to be my go to summer scent I can tell. 

I've also been loving my flower garland (see it featured in my summer OOTD here), it's perfect for summer and I have always wanted to buy one but have never really found one I really 'love', however I saw this in Primark for only £1.50 and thought how could I not buy it!

The next is something not beauty or fashion related but I've recently had my bedroom decorated and my mum bought me these gorgeous ceramic heart coasters which have come in so handy. They came in a pack of four and they're just perfect to put on the side so things don't mark my surfaces. 

Now onto 'random' things I've been loving this month! 

First of all, my favourite film: okay, can we just take a moment to appreciate Batman...

Okay, moment over. 

So I watched The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises this month and I will happily raise my hand and say, by the end of the Dark Knight Rises I was covered in a pool of tears. You may be thinking 'Alice, why would you cry at an ACTION movie?!', I honestly can't explain how emotional it made me! It went from being sad emotional to extremely happy emotional, I'm a very strange person. 

Next is my song of the month and that is definitely So Good To Me by Chris Malinchak, it is the most perfect summer song in my opinion and for some reason whenever I listen to it I have this great sense of nostalgia wash over me. The moment I hear the song I instantly feel so serene and calm. 

Moving onto my app of the month, I'm going to have to go with Instagram. I've always been into Instagram but at the beginning of May I started a new themes account (@wonderlandalice_) as people on my personal were getting annoyed with the themed pictures! Having only had the account for 2 months I'm so surprised to already have 800+ followers and it means a lot to me as I have started to put a lot of effort into the photos I upload. 

Lastly, this one may seem a bit weird but my favourite DAY of June was the 24th and that is for one reason... I FINISHED MY GCSE's, after building up to them for three years the amount of pressure and stress that felt lifted from me as I walked out of that exam was amazing! 

Anyway this has to be my longest post I've written on this blog therefore I will end it there!

REVIEW: River Island Paris Perfume

Hello!
I haven't blogged for ages! That has been down to the fact I was doing my GCSE's and didn't have any spare time to blog, anyway I am now on a THREE MONTH summer holiday - YAY - so I have a lot of time to blog away, so be prepared for many blog posts!

I recently went into River Island as I had a gift card - I don't usually shop in River Island as I really do not like the quality of their products but I thought I'd check out their perfumes.

I came across this beauty, the bottle instantly attracted me as I thought it looked so elegant and beautiful - can you say that about a perfume bottle? haha. The packaging was also so nicely presented, white against coral, I also (rather sad of me) thought 'oh this will look great in my bedroom!'

I then went on to test the scent and instantly fell in love! I was surprised when I did as I'd describe the scent as quite 'mature' whereas I'm normally into more 'teenage' fruity scents!
I'm not sure how exactly to describe the smell of this perfume, it has a hint of something fruity but also something I would call 'upperclass', I'm really not doing it justice as I can't describe smells at all!

I think the reason I loved this perfume so much is because it reminds me of my childhood, this is because the scent reminds me very much of Burberry Beat which when I was younger my mum used to wear, so when I smelt it that feeling of nostalgia washed over me and I knew I had to buy it.

When I got home, I looked over the bottle once more (admiring its beauty should I say) and I realised, it really reminded of the Chanel Chance bottles! Perhaps that was the look River Island were going for as Chanel is known for being classy and if it was, River Island you succeeded!

If you're looking for a new perfume, I'd definitely recommend River Island Paris, at just £12 it was a complete bargain and I was expecting to pay so much more! The scent lasts for a good couple of hours, much better than what you'd expect from a perfume as cheap as that!

Anyway, that's my post for the day!
I'm aiming to blog at the very least once a week, hopefully more!

Hi There..

Hello,
I'm new to this, be nice please?
I'm going to try to write at least once a week about my interests, which range from fashion, to beauty, to photography; I could write many more interests but I'll keep it sweet!
With that, I'll leave you.
