Walking (lots of photos)

Hia! Sorry about my lack of posts and lack of an interesting/original post title, I've had quite a bad cold and my nose has been bleeding on and off for the past four days. I've started watching this anime series called Your Lie in April and I'm currently on episode 14. I won't be giving away any spoilers as it is an excellent anime that I would recommend to anyone to watch. I am still obsessed with Dan and Phil and I am delighted that they are bring out a book and tour.
      Anyways, yesterday was really sunny so I went for a walk in the afternoon. Obviously I took a hell of a lot of photos so let's get started!

 

As you can see, none of these are edited (I'de say it was because they are perfect anyways but it's mainly because I couldn't be bothered to move them from my phone onto the laptop)

Have a nice day!

Day in the Park

Hi! So I know I said in a previous post that I was going to do a few reviews and I promise that I DO have the photos on my phone but I felt like doing a little post about my day at the park instead. I'm really sorry if anyone was looking forward to a review but I plan to post that later this week so I hope you enjoy this post.

I hope everyone else's weekend was as lovely as mine,
Internet hugs and smiles,

New Spring Shoes

Hia!
 I'm really sorry that I haven't posted for a while, I don't really have any good reason as I was mostly just watching multiple Dan and Phil videos on repeat as a former of procrastination. I am planning on doing a short review on the L'Oréal Hair Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner sometime soon and maybe a Q&A aswell so if you have any questions for that I'de love it if you could comment those on this post.
     Anyways a while ago I was trying on shoes in New Look and I saw really nice ones that I thought would be perfect for this spring and summer. Sadly I didn't have the money with me at the time but yesterday I got them! They have thick soles and a really sweet dark blue and creamy white pattern. They're also really nice if you want to look slightly taller but find high heels uncomfortable.

As you can see here they do have laces but I prefer to leave the  laces inside the shoe as it looks neater to me. You could wear these with loads if different clothes including skinny jeans, shorts, a skirt or maybe even a summer dress. So far these are quite comfy and only costed around €19 which is quite cheap compared to most Converse or Vans. In these photos I wore them with navy tights, a short black skirt and jumper.

New Bag and Frilly Socks

Hia!
So today I'll be doing a post with a lot of photos and not much writing. I know that sometimes I prefer posts with lots of pictures and other times I really like to read about people's opinions but I'm not really sure what everyone else likes. If you like posts like this then please tell me in the comments but if not you can check out some of my other posts :)
     Recently I've been buying a lot of little things like socks and jewellery because I find that there aren't much nice clothes. Plus it's really hard to think of buying t-shirts when you're wearing two jumpers and still feel a bit chilly!

First thing I got was this amazing bag in Accesorize.

I really love the colours in this, it's also really great quality and you don't need to go to the trouble of un-doing buckles as it is fastened magnetically. I'm so sorry if this is blurry, it was quite a dark day and I use my phone as a camera (super professional set-up).

Next up I got super cute frilly mint green socks from New Look.

These are super comfy, super cute and perfect in every way :)

Lastly I got adorable black and white frilly socks that are also from New Look!

I thought these would look so cute with coloured tights as they look quite classy. I'm sorry if these look blurry in the photo, the lighting was really bad and as I mentioned earlier I took the photos with my phone.



And super exciting news: I got an 8GB MicroSD for my phone! I can now edit photos on my phone, get addicted to Crossy Road and take lots more photos! I recently got a new app called Retrica and although the quality of photos isn't great, it's still really nice for profile pictures or just fun photos with your friends as it comes with loads of different filters that you can actually put on the photo before you take it!

Spring Inspired Hair

Hia!
 So I decided to do a quick tutorial on my take on a Spring hairstyle and take the big risk of *drum-roll please* making it public on youtube for you all to watch!

I'll write down some steps here in case you are unsure after watching the video.

1. Brush out all your hair, starting with the bottom sections.
2. Brush the hair from your ears up back, almost like a ponytail and tie it with a thin bobble.
3. If you have a side-fringe tie it away from your face with a bobby pin.
4. Bring your hair around from the back of your head and around the side of your head to plait.
5. You can choose whichever way you want to plait but since I'm not great at hair I did a simple plait.
6. (optional) Use a pastel coloured lace ribbon to tie a bow on to the end of your plait.

Love and Internet hugs

Danosaurs, Phillions and Elephant Necklaces.

Hia!
     So as I briefly mentioned in my last post, I've become slightly Dan and Phil obsessed.  To show you exactly how embarrassingly obsessed I am I have an example:
So this morning I came downstairs, went on my phone to check on the Phandom accounts (Phan means Dan and Phil). I then ate breakfast while watching Phan sims videos for about an hour or maybe two.  Then I watched all the Philisnotonfire videos.  And then I watched a video about procrastination... Which then made me remember that I still had to do half of my homework AND violin practise, it was at that EXACT moment that my brother and dad arrived home...
      It is now 2:55pm and I'm sitting in a cafe, my homework and violin practise still not done. Yeah...I think I may be procrastinating without even knowing that I'm doing it?!
Does anyone else do this or am I a rare Procrastinating-y Creature?

Do you see my problem here?

     Anyways, a few days (or weeks) ago I did a February Fancies video which featured a super adorable elephant necklace...and I bought the necklace!

     I couldn't find the silver version in the shop but I think the gold actually looks amazing.
So what are your thoughts on procrastination, youtubers and Elephant jewellery? I'de love to know what you all think so please comment!

#Nicer Internet

Hia!
So lately I have been slightly obsessed with the two youtubers called Dan Howell and Phil Lester. As you may or may not know it was Nicer Internet day a week or so ago and Dan Howell organised a radio show about Internet safety with a few other vloggers. I personally found it really interesting and re-watched it a few times.  I really like the idea of an Internet where nobody is mean or hateful and everyone is allowed to air their opinions as long as they are respectful.
      As I don't own a twitter account but still wanted to spread the message I decided to do it here on my blog.  Even though I may not have a lot of followers I still feel like if I spread the message to even one person and even if it makes them change one little word in a comment they were about to post I would be so delighted.
   I pledge to think twice before posting a comment or post and to be more aware of the fact that someone else is at the other side.

Sweet Little Things

Hia!
Earlier today I went on a bit of a shopping day with one of my friends and I thought it would be fun to show you the wonderful things I got, so here are some pictures. I hope you like them!

I adored the lace on these and I think they look really sweet over tights (like in the photo). These were only €4.99 in New Look so this is definitely a bargain!

This is a really sweet and very vintage set of lace ribbons. The pink and yellow ones are thicker and the blue and white ones are thin and more delicate. These are really nice to tie around the handles of drawers or wardrobes and you can also use them in your hair. These cost €5.50 in Arts and Hobbies but you could probably find similar ribbons in other craft stores.

After all that shopping I had to have some food, I thought the dessert was just too yummy not to post so here it is (and no I didn't eat all of it as it was super rich and very big)

Love and Internet hugs

Spring

I hope everyone is having an amazing spring, I'm busy at the moment with school so sorry about the lack of posts compared to Christmas time.
      Starting to get a bit of a spring feeling and that makes me so happy that I could actually burst! I am finding it so hard to do my violin practise at the moment because all I can think of is how I could be doing much nicer thing like going for a walk with my camera and my dog. I've started walking home from school on Fridays and I really love that although its still a bit chilly so I have to wear a coat and gloves.
      I'm off to practise violin now, see you all as soon as possible!
Lots of love and internet hugs,
Kate

Thinking of Summer

Hia!
So earlier this week I felt sort of bad because after the 10th of February or so I start to wish for Summer and Autumn and I was thinking about how 2014 has gone so fast and how I shouldn't wish for time to pass. So I decided after having a good think about it that I should try to make the best of Spring 2015 instead of wishing it away. I made up my mind that each time I started to wish for Summer that I would do a small nice thing for myself.
      And the first thing that I did was paint my nails in some bright, fun colours. (Hot-pink and coral!)

My nails aren't too clear in this but I thought the ice-cream looked delicious (it tastes just like it looks, delicious)

Tomorow night I'll be having a sleepover with my best Chummy so I'll have plenty of really yummy photos for you all on Thursday, look forward to that!
What do you guys think of Spring? What's your favourite month?

Internet hugs and smiles,

February Fancies

Hia!
So today I'll be doing a little post on things I want this February! I've seen lots of other blogs doing this and I always find this type of post really interesting. So I'll be posting a picture of the thing I fancy and I'll say where you can get it!

I spotted this while browsing on the Boohoo website, I thought it looked sweet.If you are looking for a pretty jumper that you can wear until the weather gets warmer then this is the perfect buy!


Price : €25

Next up I spotted some pictures of these on pinterest, I'm not quite sure where you could get them but I spotted something similar to this in Bershka a month or two ago so they might still have them there.



Price: Not sure

Sorry about the awful cropping on this, I found this on the Not On the High Street website, this is slightly pricier than one of the other things but I thought it would look really nice with a striped top and jeans.






Price : €26.33











I found this while browsing on the New Look website. I really adore the design and I think it would be perfect with a red or blue jumper.
Also if you find that barely any pants fit you right (like me) skirts are such an easy option!

Price : €17.99













I just realised that, if you grabbed some tights, this would be a really nice outfit!

I have the bracelet version of this and I wear it so much more than my other bracelets because it doesn't slide up and down my wrist and it looks really pretty and delicate. I spotted this in Accessorize when I was in town the other day, sadly I didn't have any money on so I have to wait another while to get it.



Price : €7.90

PS: It also looks much more expensive than it actually is.

I found these amazing sunglasses in New Look, I couldn't take a screenshot of the picture of them not on the model but this is what the side looks like:






Price : €9.99





I hope you liked this post as it took a while getting those screenshots (some websites are very fidgety and its hard to get screenshots of the product). I would love to know what everyone else fancies this February! Also if you have any tricks on taking screenshots of the New Look website please tell me! I find it so hard to find clothes this time of the year, how about you?
