The London Diaries Day 1.... Part 2

We got back to the hotel for 4pm, ready to start getting ready for the big night out.... NYE!

I was extremely excited to see the fireworks, as this is one of the things on my bucket list to do before I die... tick!

The weather was horrific, cold, wet and windy, but nothing could dampen our spirits. We didn't have to wait in the masses of tourists that had flocked to Westminster at midday to get a good spot to watch the fireworks. We were going on a booze cruise down the thames... woop woop!

My Outfit:

Dress: Forever21 £25

Shoes: River Island £30

Heathers Outfit:

Dress: Miss Selfridge £35

Shoes: Topshop £55

We ended up wearing tights in the end, as it was just too cold not to, plus we couldnn';t fake tan, as the rain would have just washed it off! Better pale, than splodgy and patchy.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

The London Diaries

Day 1:

Me and my sister headed down to London for New Year and I thought I would do a little diary of our antics and events. The first day we acted like tourist, following the masses around the city, visiting Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Big Ben, The London Bridge etc...

New Jewellery

One of my friends is off down under and I wanted to get her a little something to say goodbye! A little bird told me that she loves dangly pendant type necklaces so the hunt began. I looked everywhere, but most of the necklaces about are chunky chains and colourful collars. All beautiful, but not what I was after. After visiting every high street store available, I wondered into Forever21 and wish I had gone there first. They're jewellery section looked beautiful. There was a whole wall full od dangly, tassely long pendants. I resisted the urge to walk along stroking each necklace with my fingers.

I ended up buying two really simple, but beautiful pendant chain necklaces. I actually bough three, as I bought myself one too ;)! Couldn't resist!

Crystal Pendant: £6.65

Feather chain necklace: £3.40

I bought the crystal pendant for myself. I've wanted a crystal necklace for a while, but I've never found one that I liked enough to spend a lot of money on, as most places charge quite a bit of money for one. This is perfect, It's priced right and looks brilliant. The crystal is clear, so you can literally wear with anything! I can't wait to wear mine! Look out for a blog post soon on how I will wear it.

Septembers finests!

I thought I would start a new blog post at the beginning of every month, recapping my fav outfits, beauty products and loves from over the previous month.

September's best buys

I've had quite a few cheeky shopping sprees last month... too many to blog about them all. So here's a quick review on my new recruits joining the wardrobe camp this season!

1. Dungarees!

I've wanted a pair of black dunagrees with a tailored fit for a while, so when I saw this sexy number in forever21 for £27, I couldn't resist.

2. Black midi ring!

Another forever21 special, costing £1.65. When I got to the till to buy my dungarees, I couldn't not buy this bargain. It's really cute and quirky and I haven't had it off my finger since.

3. Gray Beanie!

I love the whole urban street look and anyone who is anyone seems to have a beanie this season, so I thought what the heck, go for it. At £3.99 from H&M... happy days. I haven't actually worn it yet, I'm saving it for the weather to get colder.

4. Pointy strappy stilettos!

Black with a gold trim, they are my statement classy shoes that I've worn every time I've gone out partying. They're not exactly the comfiest of heels, but by god, they look so stylish and professional looking. £25.99 from New Look!

5. Bobbi Brown Eye liner

This cost me a whopping £22 for the gel eye liner and £22 for the brush, but it's absolutely worth it. I thought I would try and be sparing with it, but it goes on so easily and really finishes off my look, that I've ended up wearing it practically every day.

6. Kate Moss Rimmel Rouge Lipstick!

It was an impulse last minute buy. I needed a red lippy for a night out, and to be honest I just bought it without even trying it on. It's actually really lovely and stays on all night with just a few touch ups, but nothing major. Best red lippy I've ever had!
