Online Loves for April

This month I've been all over the place. I've been working and thinking about a bazillion different things and I've not had a lot of eagerness to update my blog. I enjoy writing a little post every few days but I've been trying so hard to get my blog the way I like it, and failing, that it's put me off. But today, I thought, 'Get off your backside and do something about it' so here I am with, for me, a slight new take on monthly favourites.

 I've been a huge fan of NastyGal for a while and although I've never bought anything from there, I still love looking at their shoes!

I know Office has recently been stocking Jeffrey Campbell's and I waltzed in one day to find the Jeffrey Campbell Puffer Spike Sandals.

At a whopping $135, I can't see myself buying these ever but I covet them so badly right now...
Boots have recently been bringing in American brands with the arrival of Essie and now Sinful Colors. I've heard so much about these nail polishes and they are so cheap they won't break the bank. I already have Innocent, a gorgeous creamy lime green and the next chance I get, I will be back in there to grab some more! They apply really well, which I often find with cream formulas, and it lasts a fairly average time on the nails too. 




 I recently discovered Urban Renewal at Urban Outfitters when I was shopping in Oxford Street during the holidays and absolutely fell in love with this tie dye tee. I knew secretly that I could make one myself without spending £22 on it but the idea of multicoloured hands and the waiting around didn't strike me with utter joy so I picked it up and I love it to pieces. I also majorly coveted these sunglasses but for £16 I decided to leave them as it's barely sunny in Glasgow...

I checked Urban out again when I was back in Glasgow though and found some adorable vintage tees and jumpers. So beautiful.


My favourite online app/website for this month has got to be Wanelo. I was praising Etsy to my friend, a site that I've also been loving this month, and she suggested I try Wanelo. There are so many gorgeous clothes and fashion items and they give you the website you can buy it from too. I've been utterly addicted and even if I'm just browsing, the colours and especially the tee slogans cheer me up.

If you like this kind of post, please leave a comment. I feel as if monthly favourites are over done sometimes and I thought this might be a nice idea. Hope you're all having a lovely day and thanks for reading :)
Take care x

Sinful Colors Launch | Boots





Sinful Colors has recently been launched in the UK and I'm really excited about this brand because it is super affordable and as I've discovered, it has a really good coverage. I got Innocent which is a beautiful lime green and a colour I didn't have in my collection. It applies really well and blends into itself without irritable lumps and bumps. It takes a standard two coats to create an opaque colour but chips really easily for me even with a base and top coat as you can see from my nails which I'd painted the day before. To be honest though, I'm not exactly graceful which could have contributed to that! It's the runniest polish I've ever owned actually which surprises me as it's a good coverage polish but I'm not bothered by that because it makes application smooth and is also great for water marbling.

I'm excited to try more Sinful Colors, and at £1.99 a pop they're really good quality nail polishes. As ever thanks for reading guys and I hope you all are having a good day wherever you are.

Take care x

London | Topshop Oxford Street








 Last week, I went to London for spring break and the Topshop in Oxford Street is amazing. They have a cake stand and frozen yoghurt stand and a floor dedicated to different design companies such as Motel Rocks and The Ragged Priest.

This Topshop is really a lot more original as it boasts a nail bar, a hairdressers and a tattoo and piercing section. The nail bar is reasonably priced and does simple manicures and acrylic extensions. 



Here are a couple of snaps I took of me being silly in what I thought was a totally hip urban outfit haha! Do you like London? Thanks for reading as always and have a good day!

Take care x
