November... Monthly Round up #6

Favourite Outfit

Definitely my most recent outfit post... read all about it here 

Favourite Fashion Buy

River Island

The first time I wore it I wasn't that impressed, but now I absolutely love it.. it's so easy to wear and quick to throw on and look decent :) 

Favourite Beauty Buy

Believe it or not, this is the ONLY beauty related thing I have bought this month, therefore it is both my favourite and my least favourite lol! 

My mini review... I only really wanted it for the Hoola, as I couldn't afford a full one. Wish I splashed out on the hoola, as the size of the products are pathetic; but at the same time, it is only £9, so good if your looking for a 'sample' of the bigger products before splashing out; it is kinda worth the money then. Although, for some reason as they're so small they don't seem to work as well as the actual big products as they become hard to apply as my brushes don't fit in them lol! But hoola is prob one of my favourite beauty products ever!! 

Favourite Nails

I literally haven't painted my nails all month, and I'm so depressed about it lol! I miss my lovely nail art!! So I shall show you what is top of my 'nail art to do' list

I think these are absolutely gorgeous and so unique! 

Biggest Splurge

Hmm... My vintage tweed blazer that I have yet to show you! It wasn't expensive, but was probably the most expensive thing I have bought this month. Keep an eye out for an upcoming post about it, coz I love it, but not sure it suits me (it's a little too big for me), so want everyone's advise :) 

Best Bargain

River Island

I had this £60 pound dress for £15... read about it here :) 

Biggest Lust

I reaaaaaally want some creepers!!!! 

Plan on Buying

For once in my life.. I have nothing that I HAVE to have... It's payday tomorrow, and I have no idea what I'm going to buy! Probably do an eBay spree though! 

Favourite Picture

Just me and my friend on a night out :) in ladybird Cardiff!  

Achieved

I've managed to get all my uni work done.. yay!! 

Looking Forward to

All the Christmas festivities starting with works Christmas party on Saturday! I'm actually looking forward to having enough money to buy people decent presents! Love December!!! :D 

Have a brilliant December everybody.. I'm sure you all will!! 

Big thank you and hello to all my new followers.. and of course the regulars :) 

September... monthly round up #4

These monthly round-ups come around way too quickly!! I almost forgot to do one until I realised it's actually OCTOBER? Crazy right? 

Favourite Outfit

I wore this on the day of my birthday and just felt super comfortable! This outfit defines some my fashion loves right now.. leather, aztec, chunky knits, skulls (necklace)... see the 'outfit post' here

Favourite Fashion Buy

I bought this shirt from New Look the other day, I'm yet to wear it but I've been lusting over snake print for a while now! I can't wait to style it up and actually wear it :) It looks much much nicer in real life than in this picture. I think New Look website makes everything look so mumsy.. they really don't picture their clothes very well! 

Favourite Beauty Buy

rio rio

I ordered this online, something I wouldn't normally do when buying lipstick but the colour is absolutely fab, a really bright sexy red! With my newly dark hair I thought red would look fab as when I had red hair I was a bit scared of red overload! It's not as easy to apply as my favourite Mac lippy (which I may have lost :( ), but it is half the price! 

Favourite Nails

My take on the 'galaxy nail' trend. I didn't appreciate these nails as much as I should have when I actually had it on, I wasn't that impressed. After I took it off I missed this gorgeous mani and can't wait to do it again.. see my post here

Biggest Splurge

I haven't really splurged at all this month, most things I have bought have been fairly cheap and cheerful. Although I did spend £40 in Primark on just three things.. which in my eyes is a bit of a splurge! 

Best Bargain

I always contradict myself... as I just mentioned my 'spurge' in Primark, well during that splurge I found these gorgeous bargains! Just £16 and I absolutely love them! they have a little heel too which I love! Super comfy too! 

Biggest Lust

I'm annoyed that I can't find a picture of my 'biggest lust' item online. It is a leopard print fur coat from Topshop and it is absolutely devine!! It is a tad pricey at £100 but looks like it would be well worth it! 

I'll leave you with a picture of a coat that isn't quite my biggest lust, but I would happily buy if money was no object :)

Plan on Buying

I have actually bought for now everything I want, but I plan on buying a claw ring once I find a cheap one and I need a vintage lace Basque more than anything but I CANNOT find one! Anyone know of any? I want black! There is one on ASOS but it's not quite perfect! 

Favourite Picture

Makes me laugh every time.. just sums up my birthday night out perfectly: MESSY! 

Achieved

Well I work in Morrisons and took the plunge and applied for a supervisor job... don't know if I got it yet, but just applying is a bit of an achievement! Other than that I've been a lazy bugger this month... uni starts again Monday though, so no more lazy Lowri! 

Also I think my lovely blog has grown a bit this month, as in I feel I have put more effort with outfit posts, which was the original aim for this blog! 

Looking Forward to

SOUTH WALES BLOGGER MEET!! I'm beyond exited! Can't wait to meet some fellow bloggers.. although I hope I'm not shy; I don't think I'm shy but you never know with me... lol!

HALLOWEEEEEEN!!! Last years Halloween was probably the best, most funny night of my life... you know a night that will stay in your memories forever? Well I'm hoping we can re-create that same madness this Halloween! Just what do I dress up as? Dying to dress as a Jack in the box, but maybe be awkward to go the the loo! 

Also.. I mentioned in my last post that I'm going to start my own little business selling hand painted false nails.. Well I can't wait for that to get underway and hopefully start making some moneys :) 

That's all from me.. September has been a good month :D Bring on October!

August...Monthly Round up #3

Hey Guys

August has been a bit of a YAWN month for me... There's not really any excitement in my world any more
:( boo poor me! Lol!

Favourite Outfit

Dress & Shoes: Topshop

Worst picture in the world sorry.. I've had this dress for ages, but it's one of my faves. It's the perfect shape for me and easy to throw on day or night or dress up or down. I wore it out for my friends birthday :) I don't know if you can see my earrings... they are AWESOME.. they're feathery and so long!

Favourite Fashion Buy

LLYMLRS: Jwlry

I bought this gorgeous necklace for an amazing price.. It's deffo my favourite buy this month as I have worn it most days. I have been after a necklace like this for ages and now I finally have one and am very happy about it :) 

Favourite Beauty Buy

Maybelline

This was literally my favourite mascara from about age 13-16. I loved it, but started to become interested in higher end brands such as Benefit. So from about age 16-now I have been trying various different brands, never sticking to the same mascara and trying to find my perfect one... Then I spotted this one day in boots and remembered how much I loved it. I bought it, used it, and BAM.. I still freaking Love it!! :)

Favourite Nails

Without doubt, these were my favourite nails this month. They were awesome, in your face, and I had so many compliments about them!! 

Biggest Splurge

Kandee Shoes

These were definitely my biggest splurge. I spent my last pennies on these babies but as gorgeous as they are, they don't half hurt your feet! They are 6.1 inches high and are practically impossible for someone who is used to a chunky heel and massive platform to walk in. But I still LOVE them!! 

Best Bargain

My biggest bargains were all from a boot sale featured in THIS post... check it out :) Also ironically my 'biggest splurge' shoes above were also a massive bargain reduced from £180 to £50 :)

Biggest Lust

Topshop

I was struggling to decide my 'biggest lust' as I want so many things but not just one thing stood out UNTIL.. I realised this gorgeous cardigan that I WANT/NEED so badly and was planning on buying as soon as I get paid has disappeared of the face of the earth. And you know what they say 'You always want what you can't have' the saying is totally true.. as Yes I wanted it before, but I need it now.. (please someone tell me I'm delusional and that it is still on the Topshop website somewhere. Pleaseee! )

Planning On Buying
Well apart from the gorgeous cardigan above^^^ which I was originally gonna buy!

In Love With Fashion

I want this dress to wear out for my birthday I think... will probably change my mind! I don't know whether it is too casual, well, I know its not casual but I wanna look extra special on my birthday; a bit more dressed up than normal. 

Favourite Picture

Just me and the girls painting the town red (God I hate that saying haha)... We somehow bagged ourselves two free bottles of Champagne.. it turned out to be a VERY messy night!!

Achieved

• Well.. I finally changed the name on my Blog. I chose the last name (You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory) in like 2 minutes and it wasn't well thought out; An 8 word name wasn't ideal at all!! I wanted something memorable and short! I also managed to change a few things like the background and header etc which is a BIG achievement for me as I don't do computer things lol! 
• My favourite achievement is trying to convince my mam for four days to buy me £25 worth of Models Own nail polish in their 50% off sale.. I succeeded!!! .. I thought I was gonna miss out and I was getting proper down about it lol! THANK YOU MAMMY :) 

Looking Forward to

• My Birthday is this month.. '12th September' Remember the date ;)!! I will be 22 years old, which is proper scary! My parents are going away so I have the house to myself which only means one thing... MASSIVE BIRTHDAY PARTYYY!!! Gonna be Fun :) 
• I'm hoping to buy myself a '.com' this month. Hopefully my new name will be 'www.lowri-thedeerhead.com' 

Not Looking Forward to

This month I'm gonna try and make changes to my spending habits. I'm getting beyond control, so I'm gonna cut down on what I buy and ask the dreaded question before every purchase 'Do I really need this.' I wanna try and make a 'capsule' wardrobe thing but it seems very hard actually getting round to doing it and sitting down and thinking about it... but expect a few upcoming posts on my progress :) (I've contradicted myself here I'm cutting down on spending AND building a capsule wardrobe haha)

So that's that. Not really an interesting month for me to be honest! I'm sure September will be more eventful :)
