Hull fair




Hull fair is one of the biggest deals in the Hull and Yorkshire calendar. The fair is one of the biggest fairs in the whole of Europe, as well as the oldest reaching its 700th anniversary in 1993.

Hull fair is an amazing week in October, where its normally raining,  which basically signals that start of Autumn nights, hot chocolates and knitted jumpers. It may look a bit rubbish but the food (brandy snap, hot dogs, cinder toffee and giant cables), rides and atmosphere is great when your wondering round on a night. You just cant help but spend way too much money on food and rides in the space of one week.

Daily hair products


I use a good few products on my hair which means there is a lot of reviews I could do. Before getting my teeth into them posts I thought I would share the list of the products that I use at-least weekly. There is some brands which you can see are firm favourites of mine. If you personally would like reviews on a certain product then don't be scared to ask.

I had this post planned for today during Blogust as I wanted to show what I use on ombre hair, however is a few days after I get back from Holland the ombre is going and I am having a bit of a chop off the end. Therefore after that I will probably want to try out some different products, but for this type of hair this is what I use.

Thanks for reading! I'm blogging at least once everyday in August, read the first post here!

The Lincoln blogger meetup






The other day I was extremely excited to attend the Lincoln blogger meet organised beautifully Bel (http://www.journeysaremydiary.com/) and Amy (http://www.cocktailsinteacups.com/). I think the video will get across how great the day was rather then me rambling on and on.

However I will say  this day was amazing. I got to meet lots of amazing bloggers and many of them in my area which is great. The beauty swap and raffle was a great idea by Bell and Amy as it gave us all the opportunity to create more content reviewing loads of new products without really spending a penny. Which I love as on a student budget its sometimes a bit of a squeeze.

Id also obviously like to thank all the brands that very kindly donated to the AMAZING goody bags we received. I'm thinking of doing  haul if anyone is interested in having a good rummage round.

So please check out any of the bloggers that also attended!

Natalie - Twice the Mum
Siobhan - The Beauty Baker

Outfit 
shorts - matalan
bat wing top - Zara
black blazer - miss Selfridge
boots - topshop
Bag - Harrods

Fathers day out and OOTD






I could probably do a full A level essay on how much I appreciate and love my father on this fathers day however it could get very soppy and im pretty sure no one will want to read that as you have your own mothers and fathers to appreciate. But I will simply say that even though he can be very embarrassing at times like most dads, I am definitely a daddy's girl. To me my dad is an inspiration, coming from a rough school in a not practically nice area, yet certainly made his way in the world.

This fathers day we went to the Yorkshire sculpture park for a good long walk like old times ( my parents love 3 things in life camping, English heritage and stately homes which made for a very outdoors childhood). Even though my dad does not want to be on the internet I though it would show some of the other pictures from today as well as an OOTD.

OOTD 
Blazer -  miss Selfridge 
lace top -  primark  
scarf - from a vintage market 
high waisted grey leggings -  M&S ( yes M&S, I love their thick leggings for winter or on colder summer days in England)
boots - Topshop



Today has been such a nice day that really brought my brother and myself back to our childhoods which consisted of long walks, muddy paths and endless hours looking in art gallery's ( my dad is also a big art fan a long with my brother)

How did you spend your fathers day?

Messy college hair of the day







College isn't always the place to get dressed up. However the other day I did my hair a little different as it was a) a little greasy and b) had second day curls. instead with my hair I did a simple side bun but added a loose braid around it. It many not be the neatest hairstyle but I really like this for day to day to jazz up a basic college outfit.
