The Christmas Tag

I have a feeling this is becoming a tradition that I do this post every year; I just get very excited about Christmas okay.. .! I've also tried to add in a little cute boomerang video, if is there than yay, if not  then I promise you it was cute!!

A little update

I'm not even going to begin explaining my blogging absence, that can pretty much be summed up in one word ... Life... and I'm not going to promise regular posts again, I love blogging I just struggle to find the time. My aim for today (well when I'm writing this) is to get a load of post written and ready to go.

So what's happen since we last spoke?

Autumn is here!

My favourite season has arrived.. So in order to get Autumn off to a proper start I went online to find a tag. Feel free to give this ago yourself and leave a link so I can go and read it myself. I'm super excited for Autumn, I love days when you can stay at home in cosy clothes, and also all the Autumn fashion; right now I'm sat wrapped up in  a blanket while writing this. 

Back to School: Last minute advice

*From Google Images*



Surely I'm not the only one who has decided that a new school year is a fresh start.. New year, new me bla bla bla. Like most I want to stay organised, tidy and keep up to date with work, but actually making that happen is another story. I start back at Sixth Form tomorrow (hello early mornings .. *cries*) so to help you all with the mad rush to get things sorted and finishing - well starting - the summer work you told yourself you would complete back in July; I have written some of my tips and advice for going back to school.

Making the most of the sun



 

It's currently the evening and it's still baking hot - both a positive and a negative.. There is not much time left to enjoy the summer sun, but with the bank holiday coming up what better time to do the summer things you've just not got round to yet.

Reflecting on Summer

 

So my summer blog posting hasn't exactly been consistent, well actually pretty no existent. But right now I really feel like blogging. Not gunna lie this will probably just turn into a rambly post and I'm not sure if it will actually ever get uploaded but then again you are reading it now.

 

Summer for me has been filled with a lot of new experiences, I did some working experience and some paid work relating to my dream career. This has been quite rewarding and has made me very excited for uni and beyond. Also, as food is a necessity, in this last week I have had my very first Nandos and Noodle Nation. Both 10/10 on my food list!! And most importantly

ASOS Wishlist

 

 

Now many of you might be able to relate to this, I find myself scrolling through online shops in my 'spare time' mentally spending money that I don't really have.. But anyway, I have always loved ASOS, I actually got both my prom dress last year and my dress for this years Sixth Form ball from ASOS, so today I have put together just a few of the items that are currently in my wishlist.

Phone Case Design DIY

 

In todays post I'm going to share a phone case design tutorial with you all. I have seen this type of design on Instagram a lot recently so I thought I would have a go at creating something similar.

 



You will need:

- a clear case for the device you will be creating your case for

- White paper (Or whatever colour you want to use)

- Scissors

Day to Night*

 

There is nothing better than having staple items that you can wear anytime, anywhere. Betabrand , a clothing company, had this idea on how to transition a pair of pants from day to night, office to dinner, casual to parties, and this is something that I really enjoy doing myself. I love fashion items that are interchangeable. In today's post I have put together my own outfit that I think work perfectly as a transition between daytime to a night out.

 

Day...

Trousers: Primark / Top: Forever 21 / Shoes: Vans

 Night out...

Trousers: Primark / Top: Zara / Heels: New Look / Jacket: New Look / Jewellery: Accessorize & Pandora  

 

These patterned trousers are the main feature of this outfit. For the day time I have paired them with vans and white top. I like this outfit as it offers a complete comfort and is great for warm days. As for the evening, taking the same trousers I have chosen to style with some black heels and a tight fitted black crop top; with added jewellery to add make the outfit more elegant.  I also included a leather jacket for the colder evenings.

 

Thankyou for reading, and thanks to Betabrand for letting me get involved. Check out Betabrand's women's pants page (here)*, I have also attached a few if the images they sent me. See you next time, goodbyee

Updated Favourites



 



You are probably sat there wondering why it has taken me so long to update my blog. I'm not going to talk about it too much but I found it really difficult to find blogging motivation and when I had motivation  and idea, I just didn't have the time. Now I've finished my AS exams I've had a little more time to sit down and write. I decided to no longer set myself a posting schedule and I will be starting my A level lessons again in a couple of weeks. So for now I want to share things with you all when I can; and hopefully I can really begin to enjoy blogging without any of the stresses of getting content out there.

 

For today I thought I would share with you some of my recent favourites, although I have been away from blogging I have still tried out some new things, many of which have really stood out as I'm writing this.

 

Starting off with makeup; just the other day I picked up another of the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet liquid lipsticks. I reviewed 'Don't pink of it!' a while ago on my blog (Link here.) Having loved that shade so much I went into my local Superdrug in hope to find a more brown toned nude, as my other liquid lipstick was more of a pinky colour. After buying 'Cool Brown' I have practically worn it everyday since. I love the matte finish that these lipsticks have; you can apply and not worry too much as the product is really long lasting as well. Sticking with makeup, I have been loving the Kiko nail lacquer in this red-purple shade (my colour descriptions really haven't got any better..). Unfortunately this doesn't have a colour name and as it would gifted to me by a friend I have no way of finding out any information on this product. I like this nail polish because the consistency of it means I only have to apply one coat to get a great bold colour and finish. Okay it's not the most summery colour for June but the weather recently make it seem more like winter!

 

Onto clothing. I have always been a fan of Vans but recently I have frequently been grabbing my dark grey Vans in the classic style. I actually pick these up last year in the sale - the bonus of having small feet! I find these really comfortable to wear and go with pretty much any outfit. They are also a great way of changing an outfit to become a little more casual. My favourite shop at the moment has to be Zara. A few weeks ago I went shopping with a key aim to find a few basic and comfortable T-Shirts. Now I don't wear a school uniform a basic T-Shirt always comes in handy. For £5.99 each I managed to pick up some really lovey tops. I was really happy with the price of these, with the quality I expected to have to pay a lot more. They also fit with my signature stripy clothing obsession!! Finally, I have caved and created a Tumblr account - which probably won't do anything for my procrastination levels but oh well. I really enjoy creating a blog on there and it is also great for inspiration, particularly as photography is something I really enjoy. If you would like to follow me my blog is: megansw0rld.tumblr.com Don't forget to leave your Tumblr accounts below and I'll go and check them out.

 

Thankyou for reading. To stay updated for when I next upload make sure you are following all my social media (linked at the side of my blog) and follow me on bloglovin'. See you next time, goodbye

It's been a while... January Favorites



 

 

I'm going to start off by saying sorry for neglecting this blog; school and A-levels have been quite hectic lately. But today I'm back with a favourites post, because it really has been a while!

 

Starting with makeup items, my two current favourite lip products are the Rimmel Kate Moss lip stick in 08 and the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in 10. I've spoken about both of these products quite a lot on my blog before, so I'm not going to go into too much detail. Another makeup item I have been loving is the Mac eyeshadow in Just pea Just Peach. It's a great subtle everyday shade in a really stunning colour. As for nail polish, I don't get to wear nail polish a lot, but when I do I always reach for the BarryM Gelly HiShine in Almond. This is a nude-purple-grey (Great description there..) shade, a great colour for all year round. I also cannot forget to mention the Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara, if you've been reading my blog for a while you will know that I love this. If I could only recommend one makeup product, it would hands down be this.

 

As for clothing items, I have chosen to mention skirts as my favourite. Particularly this striped monochrome skirt (pictured in the first image) which I got in the New Look sale. Recently I've been wearing skirts a lot more, I get bored of just wearing my black jeans all the time.

 

For random favourites, I'm going to start off with the 'Q&A a day book'. I think this is such a good way of tracking memories and I really look forward to looking back at it in a few years time. So far I've actually been quite good at keeping up to date with it. I also have to mention the One Direction Between Us perfume, I've wearing this a lot since Christmas. And last be not least, I've been listening to a few different songs recently. I would first like to mention Zayn's new song 'Pillow talk'; I have to say I love the song but I'm not too keen on the video. I have also been listening to Ed Sheeran's Wembley Edition of 'X'. I was lucky enough to attend the concert and this album has the orginal songs as well as a few new ones that are really amazing. Finally, I've been loving One Direction's video for 'History', it is such a good idea and really shows what they have achieved over the years.

 

Thankyou for reading. Again I'm sorry for the lack of posting, please bare with me school is still pretty busy and I don't really want to be uploading content/ posts that have been rushed and/ or that I'm not completely happy with.
