All about the Denim!

So this Spring/Summer there seems to be a wider variety of Denim trends out there than usual - or they're just catching my eye more!

I thought I'd put together a little sample of what pieces are out there and what I've been eyeing up for my Summer Wishlist.




Topshop Vintage Style Dungaree £49.99

River Island Hotpant £28.00
New Look Hotpant £12.99
Boohoo Kyra Skirt £15.00
Boohoo May Floral Playsuit £20.00
New Look V Neck Dress £19.99
New Look Pinafore £19.99
Topshop Bow Dress £40.00
H and M Trainers £12.99







































There's so much choice out there at the mo for denim pieces particularly in New Look, Boohoo and Topshop. I'm personally eyeing up a pair of those shorts or the Bow Dress depending on whether it would suit me or not, to add to my evergrowing collection of dungaree style clothing.

What denim pieces are you eyeing up this Summer?

Day Trip to Norwich!

So last Thursday whilst away with Mum in Norfolk, we decided to take a day trip (for shopping purposes) into Norwich. My Mum has never been to Norwich and so wanted to go in to the city and have a look around. Lincoln doesn't have that many larger shops and there were a few items  was looking to purchase that I thought would be easier to get in Norwich. So I thought I'd show you what I purchased:

 
 So Make up purchases first. I have been longing to go to a store called Jarrolds for quite some time but always been a little bit intimidated as it looks so grand. I finally bit the bullet and went in last week and took advantage of the MAC store within it. I was after a few more pieces (most were out of stock!) but I got the Limited Edition Viva Glam Arianna Grande Lipglass (£14.00) and the MAC Pro Longwear SPF 10 Foundation (£25.50). I've been looking to get a new foundation for a while and this is so true to my skin tone and not at all heavy but still gives me enough coverage. I love it so far (only worn it twice!).


 I then went into their Boots and found that they had a NYX stand (super exciting to find out!) and purchased a few of the bits I've heard good things about. The NYX Green Colour Correcting concealer (£5.50), NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams in Cannes (dupe for Kylie Jenner kit) and  Prague (Each £5.50) the NYX Brow Pomade in Espresso (£5.50) with Application Brush (£8.50). If you are looking for a matte lip cream which will last  - these are fantastic, with such a good range of colours and really do last after eating and drinking. I'll hopefully get some swatches of these posted soon - likely to be in a favourites if I'm honest!
Clothing wise, I got some dungarees from New Look. I'm really loving the dungaree trend at the moment and love how comfy they can be with a t-shirt and some pumps. I believe these (below) are the ones I purchased and they were £29.99.
 
I'm also going to a hen do next weekend and wanted some leather look trousers or wet look coated jeans to pair with some cami tops and a blazer - I love this style. I nipped into River Island and found some of the Molly Jeggings which were coated and liked how they looked.

 The two cami tops I got were from Matalan and I'm super surprised at the price and quality if I'm honest.  I wanted either a white cami top or a really bright colour (will probably wash me out but hey ho).  They were only £6.00 each and definitely could be a double for the Topshop camis which are about £16.00 - very happy with these and may end up getting the rest of the colours!
 

So those are the main pieces I bought for that trip, but I left Norwich wanting more clothes than before I went. Any of these pieces catch your eye? What would you pair them with?

Yarmouth. Wonderful Yarmouth by the Sea.

 
SO as you'll see from the date of my last post to this one, I've had a bit of a hiatus from here - even though I'd just started it. IN mid April, I has a big project happening which meant long hours at work and I've just got back from a weeks holiday.
 
 
Now for my holibobs I went to a place called Burgh Castle near Great Yarmouth and stayed at Cherry Tree Holiday Park (ran by Parkdean), with my Mum.
 
 
We regularly went on holidays to camps which were owened by a company called Weststar, most of which have now been bought by Parkdean to contine their chain. And everytime we go it is so much fun.

 
So whilst there me and Mum got to explore Norfolk which was interesting. I visit Norwich quite a lot, as my boyfriend lives there, but not really to see the wider Norfolk - which my Mum hadn't visited for about 30 years. (Was quite funny to hear her go to every seaside town and say there only used to be a pier and now there's a supermarket as well!)

 
We visited a few different towns whilst there; Hunstanton, Lowerstoft, Hemsby, Wroxham, Southwold and passed through Sandringham - just to name a few.
 
 
It feels like I haven't been on a holiday in ages and it has been quite a while, so was nice to just take a step back, chill and enjoy the seaside and Norfolk Broads.

Super quick post but wanted to share some pics from Norfolk.
