Topshop haul! XxX

Hiya everyone! Today I am going to show you some Topshop items that were kindly given to me (again!) These clothes are more autumnal/wintery but they are more casual and definitely my sort of style. Here are the tops that I was given, hope you enjoy!

Vests

I really like these vest tops because they are very flattering yet suitable for everyday wear.

 Smarter wear

Firstly, I absolutely love black clothes, but I love these because they are really feminine and fun.

 Cardigan

This cardigan has a lovely feather print and I love the batwing sleeves.

Crop Tops

I wear crop tops on a regular basis, so these are perfect for me. I love the neutral colours too.

 Thank you for reading my post, and whilst you're here why not check out my recent posts aswell?! Leave any nice comments down below, and follow my blog to join our family! see you soon, Gracie xx

Spring Morning Routine Collab! xox

Hiya everyone! Today I am going to talk to you about my Spring 'Morning Routine.' This is actually a collab with @liifeas.g https://liifeasg.wordpress.com - her blog is so beautiful and her photography skills are on point! She is doing a 'Spring GRWM', you should go and check it out! This is going to be my routine on the weekend/ holidays, since we are on Spring Break at the moment.

First, I wake up at around 8:30 or 9:00, but stay in bed and go on my phone or watch YouTube for a while.

Then, I drag myself out of bed and go down to have some breakfast. I usually have some cereal or a smoothie.

If I haven't showered the night before, this is usually when I will take a shower. At the moment, I have been loving using the 'ST Ives Apricot Face Scrub' in the shower to exfoliate my skin.

After this, I will go and brush my teeth and get dressed for the day.

When I am dressed, I will either blow dry my hair first or apply my makeup. If you would like to see what I use as my everyday makeup, click here to see my post on 'What's In my Makeup Bag'

Now I am ready to leave the house and start the day! On the weekends, I usually meet up with my friends or go shopping.

Thank you for reading my post, and make sure that you check out the other half of this collab! Add me on social media; the links are near the top of my page. Have a great day, talk to you soon lovelies!

Topshop haul! Xxx

Hiya everyone! A few days ago, a friend kindly gave me a few items of clothing that she didn't need and I really liked. So I decided to show you them all today! Also, not all of them are seasonal, but I thought I'd add them all in anyway because why not?! And again, because they were given to me, I cannot say how much they were. So, here is what I got (special notice to my uber-fancy Christmas tree!)

Probably my favourite items of the haul, these are my coats. On the left is a green lightweight, thin coat with leather sleeves. It actually gives more warmth that you would think and it's very seasonal! I love the look of this and I think it's great if you want a coat to take around with you but don't want to carry around a bulky object. On the right is a tan-coloured coat with buttons and a collar. I like this because it looks really smart and put-together, but again is really lightweight like the green one. This would be perfect if you were going out for dinner or going to work.

Next are some dresses, which are mostly for this time of year. In the top left, I have a black pencil dress. It fits really comfortably on me, however it does make my behind look a little large (and no, I'm not just doing a weird pose lol). The top right dress is more of a holiday piece, but I like it because it is really long and flowy. The material is really soft and it fits well on me. Next, the bottom left dress is like a sundress; elasticated at the top and loose at the bottom. Again, this would be perfect for a holiday or just any day out. For the bottom right, I think I am going to wear this for Christmas because of the colours and I just really like it! The top section is comfy and fitted and the bottom fits like a skater skirt. Love it!

These tops are mostly for the summer because they fit over a crop top or vest top. The top left is more of a vest but it is very open so I paired it with this black top. In the top right is a tighter best in a cranberry shade. Colourwise, I think it could be a seasonal wear but it is too short for winter in my opinion. My favourite of the three is the bottom left though, I love the lace and bow, and I think that it goes really well with the top I wore. It's so cute and looks really unique!! In the bottom right are some jumpsuits that didn't fit me but I liked so much that I had to include them. The one on the far left is a black lace strapless one, and the middle on e is the exact same but in a floral pattern. On the far right is a shorter design with straps and a lime green floral pattern.

And finally, I have 2 outfits which I would wear if I was going out to a party or a celebration. The left look is a combination of a pink, wavy-edged vest and a floral kimono. I think this looks really feminine and girly, and I love it! Kimonos make a great finishing touch to any look and I highly suggest you get one! On the right is a one-sleeve pleated top, made of a flowy, thin material. This would be perfect for a disco or night out and I think it looks really sophisticated! Cute!

Thanks so much for reading this post, I spent a really long time this week making this! Please leave me comments below on what you would like to see next, and I hope you have a nice day lovelies!

Collective Haul!

Hiya everyone! I went shopping the other day, and since I had never done a haul on this blog before I decided to do one for y'all! (Cowboy, seriously? wtf haha) Just to say this isn't all from just one trip, I have been shopping quite a lot in the holidays. I hope you enjoy, lets get right on into the video! *Side note, please excuse the quality of the photos included, my phones quality is rubbish atm and its really old lol*

An Overview <3

The first thing I bought was this bag from Primark. It was a total of £10, which is a great price for a handbag since most shops are getting pretty expensive. I am planning to use this for school as it will fit in a lot of notebooks inside. Also, there is a snakeskin textured patch on the front so it will not scratch as easy.

Next from Primark is the new duvet set from the 'Velvetghost' (Gabby) range. I love all of the items from the range, but I got this to use with another set because it matched my theme. This is so adorable and I cant wait to put it on my bed! Also I bought a square, pink cushion for my sofa (this is not included in the same range as the duvet.)

Moving on to Boots, I picked up two of the Montagne Jenessee face masks: Strawberry Soufflé and Blemish Mud. I love these face masks because they are so fun and they have so many different flavours, I never really buy the same one twice! I also picked up the Maybelline 'Dream Fresh BB Cream' and the Barry M Kohl Liner in White. Both of these products I had tried (first time) once and I like them so far! The BB cream was really glowy on my dry skin and the liner was really pigmented and really opened up my eyes.    Love! <3  

Next I popped to Superdry and bought this suuuuuuppper soft hoodie. I don't usually wear hoodies but I thought I would buy it for those cold winters and days in. It's great to lounge in, and it's great quality so I know that it will last a long time.

Lastly, I picked up some bright neon pencils for school and a pocket-sized diary for 2016.

I hope you enjoyed reading about what I bought (Hauls are my fave posts to read, comment if you can relate!) Thank you for reading this far down and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!

See you soon,
