OOTD-Bulldogs and Bow ties.

Leanne are you blogging on a Thursday?! Why yes, yes I am. It's only a super quick post today. I wanted to share my outfit with you guys. 

Today I'm going full Kawaii school girl chic. I love cutesy outfits and this is definitely one of my favourites. I'm wearing a pinafore dress that I've had for ages and picked up from a charity shop for like £1.49 or something stupid like that I adore it though I get so much wear out of it. Next up we have my French Bulldog shirt which is from Lovestruck this shirt is one of my favourite things I own it's such a twist on a white shirt and I love it so so much. I'm also sporting what has become a kind of staple Leanne item which is a bow tie this is just a hair clip that I slide across my shirts and well it does the trick I have so many different ones but black and white and spotty will do for today. 

 My socks are just typical frilly socks from Primark and that's also where I get my tights if anyone is interested. Last but not least are my shoes. These are probably my most prized possession they are a pair of vintage loafers I picked up from Camden a few years ago I only paid £15 for them they're real leather and perfection. No modern shoes could ever match up to these beauties. 

They've slightly scuffed at the front but that just adds to the charm. 

Please come and say hi to me over on Facebook just type in Collars and Frills on the search bar and leave me a comment and if you're feeling super lovely even a like but I'd love to say hi to you! 

Lots of love

Lipstick matching my clothing.

I've got into a habit I'm not sure if it's good or bad, but it's a habit none the less. I've starting buy lipsticks to match my clothing exactly. So it's wardrobe Wednesday here but this kind of classes as wardrobe no? Loosely? Maybe? Anyway it's a habit I've got into 

recently. It started with my Revlon lip butter in Tutti Fruti as it matched my Next off the shoulder floaty top colour wise too a tee. This top and lip combo and perfection of summer as they're such a pretty orange colour.  The top was the bargain price of £16 and has been my summer wardrobe must with jeans for those typical warm but not UK days.

Next up is what I call my Snow White combo, Snow is one of my favourite Disney princesses so it's nice to pay a bit of a homage to her from time to time. Here I'm wearing my Primark dress which I got around Christmas time and Lush lipstick in Strong. This as the name is a very bold colour as it's a strong statement lip. It's a very orangey red which is perfect for me. 

I used to really shy away from bright lips but I've had a massive change of heart as of late and I adore them now. 

Please let me know if you do this as well buying a colour to match one item of clothing and it's not just me being odd. 

Lots of love

The Best High Street Blushes.

So, as some of you may know I'm a
sucker for blush. I really don't think make up looks complete with blush. I'm going to talk about my very favourite high street blushes. I'm extremely girly, extremely girly so a lot of these are pinks just as a warning. 

I'm in love with sleek blushes, they're literally the single best high street blushes . I have a bunch of these including the palletes but my two stand out blushes have to be Rose Gold, now I'm an avid YouTube watcher and every youtuber went crazy over this blush calling it a NARS dupe but the pigment in this is crazy good and the colour is so beautiful when the light hits it and reflects the gold you look like a radiant Disney princess. This is the blush I probably get the most compliments on as it's just simply stunning. They also are super long lasting I've had this for almost a year and I'm nowhere near pan.

The other stand out colour for me is Pixie Pink. Now in the pan this is a super Barbie pink which too many people would be very daunting to put it bluntly but when it's on it gives such a sweet pink glow. It looks like the glow you get when you've just stepped outside on a icy cold day. You really don't need a lot of this again which will show in my photograph they're so soft and silky smooth to they're the perfect blush and everyone needs to try at least one and at £4.49 there's not really an excuse now is there. (As you can probably tell I'm the worse person to shop with I'm just like yeah get it get it now!)

Next up we have a brand everyone knows I love. Can you guess?! It's Make-Up Revolution. They do blush palletes for just £6 oh yes. £6 that is all for 8 blushes and the pigmentation in these blushes is just perfection. I've got 2 palletes I have the Sugar and Sweet Pallete which is full of pretty pinks and pastel highlights making it so sweet. I love this Pallete and use it constantly. Only down side is they're pretty massive which isn't ideal for travelling but is just perfect for home. 

I also have the All About the Cream Pallete which is full of cream blushes. There's a very wide variety of colours on the palette and I've been mostly wearing the deep red shade as it slightly makes me feel like Snow White as its so cute and rosy literally the cutest colour as you look like you're blushing as deep as it looks in the pan it really isn't on the skin.  

It also has contor colours too but I don't really contor as I'm extremely pale and when I try I just look slightly dirty, lovely image there I know but it's the truth. 

Lastly we have another cream blush, I've talked about this before on here its the Bourjois cream blush in Rose Tender this again is a pretty pink natural flush. It's so beautiful on the cheeks. Please don't judge me by how mine looks as I use it a lot and I've tried to tidy it up but it's pretty hard. This blush with a highlight looks so sweet and is the look I go for most days now. 

Those are my very favourite blushes available on the high street. Let me know if there is any other blushes you think I should give a whirl. Also sorry for my lack of posts last week I had a few days away in London. So keep your eyes peeled for something new and very different coming from Collars and Frills in the next few weeks. It's very exciting! Let me know what you think it could be. Also come and say hello to me on Facebook just type in Collars and Frills on the search bar and say hi on my page even give me a like if you're feeling lovely.

July Favourites.

Here's the obligatory how is it August thing,but seriously how is it August! Where's the month gone,I don't even know. July has been a pretty busy month for me but there has been some very stand out favourites for me so let's get cracking. 

Number one; I've graduated I'm officially a university graduate this was defiantly my favourite thing of the month and possibly of the year. I've graduated Drama, Performance and Theatre Arts with a 2:1. It was the best day I've had in a long time and my dress was also a favourite of the month I wore a Ted Baker Tea dress which is super summery and super lovely. I am however going back to Universty in September for another year to train to be a teacher. EXCITING. 

Number 2; I've fallen head over heels in love with a food snack this month. It's crazy how much I love these. Mint M&Ms now if you're from America these probably aren't a treat to you but here in the UK they're super hard to find. But I found them in B&M for 69p I think I bought my local B&M out of them if I'm honest I've ate a lot this month, they're just so tasty. 

Next up we're going into normal Collars and Frills territory with cutesy things and this little beauty is from Primark. The place of the dreams (well sometimes). There were three things that drew me to this number one its pastel pink and cream, number two it's Disney it's no secret I'm a huge Disney fan and lastly number three it's a make up bag are you quite prepared for what is probably the cutest most adorable make up bag in history. 

Just look at it I want to cry at how cute it is and it looks perfect on my desk. Best thing about this little cutie though it was £3.

Lastly,we have a Make-up favourite, well it's a duo make up favourite which I have used every single day of July I think. Literally I have fallen I love with this pairing.I don't wear foundation, so I've been on the hunt for a long lasting blusher and highlighter duo and I've finally found. This makes me happier than it probably should but it's the Make Up Revolution highlighter in Peach Lights and the Bourjois Cream Blush in 03 these two together is like a match made in cheek heaven. 

I have the Highlighter pallete which comes in at just £8 it's perfect though and worth every single penny. Not that it's a lot any way. 

That's everything I've been loving this month. Let me know what you've been loving this month. Also quick question if I started YouTube would you guys watch? Please let me know. 

Lots of Love

Perfect Pom Pom Loafers..

Oh my goodness gracious me, I've been on the hunt for a pair of Pom Pom shoes for the longest time. I've wanted some for so long: partly because of how cute they are; partly because I want to want to feel like Tinker bell but who doesn't. I found the most amazing pair on my hunt, guess where from?! Primark oh my gosh Primark you've out done yourself with these. 

They're loafers so super comfortable and super wearable. I've wanted a pair since last year from Topshop but they were a lot more expensive than these which came in at just £10 bargin right? I'm absolutely in love with them they're also improved comfort which means I can wear them for work all day and they're stupidly comfortable. They're super duper cute if you're looking, get these. 

Lots of Love

Three of my Favourite Budget Eyeshadow Brands.

Okay so I don't know if I've said before I'm a sucker for a bargin, I love a good bargin and these products I'm going to talk about these fit into this category perfectly. So let's jump right in.

Sorry about th dusky products just shows they're used I guess!

Number 1, this brand have literally become probably one of my very favourite make up brands. It's Make up Revolution I have a whole bunch of these palletes. The one in the photo is the What You Waiting For pallete these come in at just £6 i know right bargin. Im a sucker for a pink eyeshadow look I think it looks girly and fun and this pallete come in handy for achieving this look there are 12 shimmer colours and 6 matte. This the same in the majority of their palletes apart from the Iconic pro palletes which are an incredible dupe for the naked palletes and they're just £4. The pigmentation, texture well everything about these palletes are incredible just get them don't even hesitate. (The sheer amount of times I said pallete in that is extremely alarming.)

 

Next up we have the Maybelline Colour Tattoos my go to colour is Pink Gold, like I said I love a pink eye make up look at this looks perfect on its own or works amazingly as a base. If I use of these underneath my eyeshadow it doesn't budge all day. On its own it's a subtle pink and looks super pretty is you're going for a less is more look, I also have on and on bronze and I'm going to invest in a few more they're incerdible.

Last and by no means least we have the Collection Eyes Uncovered. Oh my goodness gracious me these are good like really good like really really good I could go on. These come with 6 very wearable shades and I got mine for the bargin price of £2.99 yes that is all. I can't sing this products praises enygh and if I could I'd need a huge choir and hours. I have two of these I have the Nude Bronze which is the one photographed this is perfect for a gold summery eye. It also has a white so perfect for inner corners of the eye. I also have the Little Mix limited edition one which has a wider variety of colours and I love them both so so much. They would be your perfect travel companion as they are small light weight and very pigmented. One downside is the magnetic packaging but that is easy enough to deal with. All in all just pick one of these little beauties up they're honestly an amazing bargin product. 

Let me know your favourite products and I'll look into getting them.

Lots of love

Flower (crown) power 🌸

So it's wardrobe Wednesday and today I'm going to talk about FLOWER CROWNS! I have a huge love for flower crowns and excuse to make me feel like a disney princess (please don't tell me this is just me). I have so many but I'm going to tell you about a few of my favourites. 

First up my very very very favourite is from Claire's which usually I don't go in as I feel like it's quite a young shop but oh my golly gosh I love this flower crown. 

Can we just talk about this a second I'm more of headband flower crown wearer because as you can see I have a fringe so they sit weird on me. That was slightly of tangent but this crown is just beautiful it should of been £14 which for me was just super expensive but I got it for £5 amazing right?! The colours are very autumnal which for me makes it better as most people just get the flower crowns out for summer but the colour of this gives me an excuse to wear it all year round. To put it bluntly I love it a lot, a lot, a lot a lot. Look at me being all Parent Trap quotey. Seriously though is that not such a classic film. 

Next up we have a primark beauty, I love this so much. It's so so cute it's pink and white! I love pink a lot this one was calling out to me so I just got it, it cost £4 which I think is a bargain if I'm honest it's so beautiful. 

I actually got another from primark for £2 it was also on sale I just love it as well. I think we can take that I love my flower crowns everyone I've mentioned I've said I loved. But this is a white and baby pink so it's super wearable, I wear it all the time. 

Lastly we've got one I picked up from the Katy Perry range at Claire's it was on sale in the 5 for £5 offer they do sometimes so I was like okay it looks like little animal ears and is so adorable I could burst from cuteness it's a bright blue and just cute as a button. 

I really do love my flower crowns I really want a mint green one if you know where I can get one let me know! 

Lots of love
