Witchy Vibes

So probably my favourite in this blogging world is the just awesome Lily Melrose (link her blog at the bottom), pretty sure most of you will know her. She's like famous on here haha! Anyways I seem to love every single outfit post she does, the girl has style you can't deny it, she could make a bin bang look good!!

One particular outfit featured a certain dress, I feel in love with immediately that I wanted to write a  blog post about it.

 

So it is this amazing dress from Motel Rocks and it's £35 which is a pretty sweet price if you ask me. The thing I love is the gothic/witchy vibe this dress has. Hocus Pocus was my life as a kid, I would watch the film on repeat and always wanted to be a witch. Not gonna lie I still do :P. Sarah Jessica Parker in that film is something else, a witch that can lure in all the boys and made my favourite colour purple :) I feel like this is the perfect way of wearing something considered a bit goth without actually looking quite scary. Its a smock dress which I'm a bit reluctant about as I'm quite wide and got a bit of a chest so have a fear of this style making me look pregnant. But I do now have a smock dress from Asos and I love it! The lacing detail at the back just adds to it awesomeness. They also do this dress in maroon which I also love!

 

 

my girls- Mary, Winifred and Sarah Sanderson :) <3

I have however put myself on a shopping ban, but I want it sooo bad in my life! My birthday is in April but realistically I don't think I can wait that long!!

 

 

Do I buy it... haha. Anyone else having these dilemmas??

Believe in the Shield- ootd

 

 

Black Shirt- Asda
Joni Jeans- Topshop
Shield Necklace- Asos
Trainer Shoes- Asda
Coat- Asda
Bracelet- River Island
Ring- H&M

So I really liked the outfit I wore yesterday. Now the inspiration for it was my necklace. Being the wrestling fan I am, I always have favourites. Now your thinking where are you going with this Katie?? Well my favourite group to watch in WWE are currently the shield hence the inspiration behind my necklace aha! I just saw the necklace and thought it was really cool and I immediately wanted to have it!

                         These are the Shield in case your not a wrestling fan or whatever. Kinda have a thing for Dean Ambrose (in the middle)
                         , okay not kinda I do just can't take my eyes off him ha!


Yesterday it was my uni friend's 20th birthday so decided we would go on a shopping trip to London :) we had to go fabric sample shopping for our university project.  It was kind of successful :/ We then hit Oxford street and I don't think I've ever spent that much money. I don't deal well with spending lots of money as I've been bought up with the mentality of spent it on things you need rather than what you want. Therefore I always feel guilt if I spend. However yesterday for me I went crazy! A haul will be coming up soon showing what I got!
Anyways going off topic I decided to go for a comfortable outfit yet I still wanted to look like I'd made an effort. I wore a black shirt with my newest obsession my Topshop Joni jeans (the most comfortable things ever!!). I wore my blatant knock off converse shoes from Asda (bought them for Reading festival and they're a dream) and my new coat from Asda. I transitioned the outfit to night when we went for a meal out at the O2 by swapping my jeans for a skirt, tights, some heeled boots and chucked on a leather jacket.

Sometimes outfits can be inspired by the craziest things, this one so happened to be by a current wrestling faction haha!

Hope you had a good weekend!

So Long 2013

Happy New Year I guess is the thing to start this post off with! :) Hope everyone who reads this had an amazing Christmas with family or just a nice relaxed break!

First off changed my blog name so again I'm on Blog Lovin so check me out :)
Follow my blog with Bloglovin


Personally I hate this time of year as I get the Christmas blues and get fed up of people saying the generic I'm gonna be a better person this year but then not do anything about it! phew haha

2013 was an okay year for me I didn't really do much to be honest and felt like it was a bit of an unproductive year.




A highlight for me was going to Reading Festival for the second year in a row. I love festivals/music and Reading feels like the place for me!

The main stage, soo many amazing bands



Both years I've queued up to meet Enter Shikari, got to the front of the line and been cut off :( However did manage to get Rou's autograph and talk to him a little bit. May have a slight attraction towards him :') haha

Also I got to go to many concerts/ gigs, bands I saw included:

 

*Black Rebel Motorcyle Club
*One Direction
*Enter Shikari

*Two Door Cinema Club
*Michael Buble
*Kesha  (shocking live, only went cause my sister had a spare ticket haha, not my cup of tea)

 

 

 

So what do I want to achieve in this new year then. Well I kinda have resolutions but there more for my general well being then just the next year coming up
1. First I would like to lose more weight and become healthier. I have been on a weight struggle all my life and have changed dramatically in terms of weight (perhaps I will do a post in the future but I don't want to come across as bragging about losing weight)
2. Attempt to have a more positive outlook on things. Unfortunately I'm quite pessimistic and tend to see things from a negative point of view. I want this to change as then I generally feel like I would enjoy certain things more, lets see :)

3. Start a new hobby- I have something in mind that I would love to have a go at. However I don't want to share it as I want to see if I actually have the guts to start it. I'm not brilliant at stepping out of my comfort zone!

 

 

 

So yeah I don't have a lot planned for 2014 yet, I'm finally meeting a friend of mine in person soon and we're going to see TNA (wrestling) in London. It's my first time seeing wrestling in terms of a big American company in person and I have watched it since I was 4 crazy!

 

I hope my blog this year will get a few more people discovering it, I don't really know what I'm doing but ya know it's all a learning process ain't it! :)

 

 

How was your New Year??

 

Thank you for reading

Putting Up Our Christmas Tree

Hey guys!

So on Sunday I spent the day putting up the Christmas tree with my mum and dad :) I love putting up the tree as it always feels like Christmas is official. The lights are the best bit in my opinion, I just love them!! God help whoever shares a house with me when I'm older I'm soo gonna go crazy with decorating haha

 

 

Wow I look so attractive but modelling a Text Santa hat :) getting into the festive spirit





With our tree we tend to go for the same colour scheme every year as we just use the ornaments we've collected over the years. It's always usually multi-coloured lights, silver or purple tinsel and decorations. Last year my friend Charlotte bought me these sick skull decorations from Paperchase I just had to put them on the tree to add a bit of my personality to it. Kind of actually shows the weirdness of my family haha. The decorations are quite random really, mainly silver and maroon baubles and then random ornaments we've got as gifts from people ( a couple even form the USA due again to Charlotte she really is good to me :P)


Just working on Dad to put some lights up outside, he's refusing to do it right now which is making me sad :(

You put up your Christmas tree yet??

Revlon Lash Potion and MUA Palette Review

Alright :)
So I took a trip to Superdrug the other day and picked up a couple of things and wanted to review them. I haven't bought any make up items in quite a while so wanted some new bits to try out.

One product I really wanted to try out was the Revlon Lash Potion. Firstly the name immediately drew me in as I have a bit of an obsession with witches (yes I'm a freak) I thought the name having potion in was pretty damn cool. Secondly the packaging is so adorable and I love love love the colours on it, Kind of reminds me of Christmas :) just looking at it makes me smile haha! I got it in the shade Blackest black as my eyelashes are naturally black and I love to make them look darker. Now mascara has become an essential for me and I just can't go without it now. I was quite surprised when I tried this out as I feel that it does lengthen and add volume to my lashes but in a subtle way. In the past I have used the Maybelline falsies mascara which I believe is a bit more dramatic. It took me a little while to adjust as the Maybelline mascara is a lot more noticeable. However now I've used it a few times I really like the effect it gives to my lashes. I think it's a lovely mascara to use for daytime and I'm sure if you add more coats it'll build a better look for a night out.

The other product I picked up was a MUA Palette named Heaven and Earth. I wanted a new palette that featured neutral colours as I usually like to use brown toned eye shadows. I would really like to try the Urban Decay Naked Palette however I'm not made of money so can't afford this. Now I've never tried any MUA products before but I've heard so many people rave about how amazing they are for the price. And now I can say I totally see the hype. This palette is amazing and features beautiful shades of colours. I know by just looking at that can produce a range of eye shadow looks for both day and evenings out. You get 12 shades for £4!!! I think that's pretty sweet and I didn't feel guilty buying it. Definitely want to purchase more MUA products!!
 

So yeah very happy with my purchases excited that they are now in my make up collection.

I also stopped off at one of my local charity shops I found the first series of the Hills for £1.99! and I bought a Christmas album it's not too early right?? I've wanted a Christmas album for years so finally got one in my life aha :P

Thanks for reading
