First outfit post in forever WITH The Folly Boutique

TOP- H&M

PINAFORE- ASOS

BOOTS- TOPSHOP

NECKLACE- LIZZIE FORTUNATO @ THE FOLLY BOUTIQUE*

I am obsessed with my new ASOS pinafore! I had a pinafore a while back, but it sadly got ruined by a pen explosion, and I have been desperate to replace it ever since. Now I have this beautiful number! One thing I am disappointed with though, is the fact that you can't detach the straps from the front piece in true pinafore style. But it is still perfect for every day and nights out, and I love it, love it love it.

The main focus of this post however is this absolutely GORGEOUS necklace from The Folly Boutique.

They are an online jewellery retailer, who you may or may not know, I have been doing an at-home PR internship with for about 2 months now. The main USP of the site is that all the designer jewellery is available not only to buy, but to hire! You can hire your own luxury items for big events for 3 or 6 days, and I was lucky enough to get a free rental of some gorgeous stuff so that I could see if for myself. I haven't quite been able to capture in these images just how gorgeous this piece is, it's honestly amazing.

Also, I've really been enjoying my internship, and am planning to do a little post on that in the next few weeks!

But anyway yes, so I finally did another outfit post, woo hoo! This is a really simple look that I would wear for a night out with friends, or maybe a nice meal, nothing too fancy. I think it's such a classic look, that is really made by the necklace.

I also quite enjoyed taking pictures of hundreds of pounds worth of luxury jewellery in Pill.

If you're from Newport you'll understand why.

*I was gifted this free rental of The Folly Boutique jewellery in exchange for an honest review of the service and product.

I made the mistake of going into Lush with no money yesterday, and ever since I have been dreaming of smelling like an angel, and feeling as soft as a blanket. So I put together this little wish list of things I found in the store yesterday, and will almost definitely be going back for when my student loan is finally sorted!

1. This new shower gel, The Comforter, is their classic bubble bar reinvented as a shower gel. The Bubble Bar was my absolute favourite, and smells like a snuggly, berry filled hug! So now that there is a shower gel that will make me smell the same, it isn't a want, it is a need. It is a tad on the pricey side, but that just means I will have to be sparing with it. Oh god it smelt so good.

2. This face scrub and cleanser is called "Let the Good Times Roll" and it honestly smells like someone has baked something incredible. It is made with Maize Flour and Polenta, and was originally a Christmas special, but had to be kept on due to high demand! It leaves you with an amazing buttery popcorn smell, and it left the back of my hand so soft! I've never been a big one for face routines, but I could definitely develop one if it means I get to smell like this all the time.

3. A classic. The good old bath bomb. This one is a proper crazy coloured one which will leave your bath a funky dream. There's no beauty or skincare reason that I want this. It would just make my bath look really really cool .

4. And finally, the flamingo bubble bar. A)It's reusable and smells amazing. B) It's a flamingo!! This bad boy lasts a whole tonne of baths, and makes them all a sweet, bubbly heaven. God I'm so happy I have a bath in my house this year! I can't wait for loan day to roll around so that I can truly make the most of that big ceramic tub and relax. Ahhh......

IM SO SORRY

Ok, so I have 100% dropped the ball with this blog, but I'm happy to say, I think I'm back! I've got a few, hopefully interesting, posts in the pipeline, and I'm aware no one even reads this anymore, but I just wanted to post this so that I can't back out!

So, a little update on what I've been up to;

I officially live and study in Cardiff. You may or may not remember that last year I was in Plymouth, but after a lot of thought and back and for, I decided to make the move a little closer to the nest. It's been really great living in such a vibrant and exciting city, and I can't wait for my student loan to be sorted out so that I can finally start enjoying it a bit more!

My new course has been good so far, we haven't really delved into much yet, it's all been briefs and just starting stuff ect, but I can't wait to get creating some awesome work. We're off on a trip to London Friday which will be awesome, so you can expect a little post up on that sometime next week.

I have access to a good camera now thanks to my awesome boyfriend who is letting me borrow his as long as he doesn't need it! So hopefully my blog posts will be much more aesthetically pleasing, and I can start doing some photography based work as well.

I hope you all didn't miss me too much!

Keep reading and I'll try to actually make a good go of it this time!
