Primark jumpsuit OOTD

Being tall is a major issue when buying items like maxi dresses or jumpsuits unless you search through the tall section. When on one of my many primark shopping sprees the other day I fell in love with this floral jumpsuit which is only £13. Knowing it probably wouldn't fit, I went to go try it on anyway just in case. Surprisingly even being 5ft 10" tall the jumpsuit actually fit.

Shoes - NewLook

Watch - Next 

Ring / Bracelet - Primark 

Nacklace - Primark

Getting back to the blog

If you are a blogger you might understand this feeling, if you just enjoy reading blogs, and are still here, then you may not. I recently found myself a little stuck in terms of blogging, I've been trying to handle blogging, Alevels, a somewhat lacking social life and work over the past couple of months and its been stressful to say the least. Its safe to say my blog took the biggest hit. However after investing in a new laptop and realising how much I missed my little old blog I decided to get back into the swing of things and get back to blogging.

I really hope some of you are still here and want to hear some of the random stuff and thoughts that end up on here.

CLOTHES SHOW LIVE 2014

Every year when I head to clothes show live, I always end up coming home with no money and lots of new products and clothes that I really do not need in my life. Clothes show live 2014 went down pretty much the same as my previous visits.

If you don't know what clothes show live is its basically a massive fashion and beauty convention with celebrity guests, designer to vintage clothing stalls, makeup bargains and a catwalk full of both up and coming and established designers.

Unlike most years, when I use to go with my old school, my friends and I booked a coach trip down to Birmingham which included travel, entry and tickets to the catwalk for a bargain price.

The whole day was amazing so ive split this post into three. This one consisting of just photos of the day, pictures of the catwalk show and a haul post which should come later in the week.

Have you been to clothes show? What do you think of the day?

Blogger Interviews #2 - Catherine from Counter Pretty

Its time for the second part of my blogger interviews! This week I talked to Catherine form Counter Pretty! She started her blog back in May and is 18 years old attending the university of Birmingham. She has lots of amazing content as well as having a gorgeous layout  so go and check it out! Anyway on with the interview!

 'What is your blog called and what is it about?'

My blog is called Counter Pretty (counterpretty.blogspot.com). 

The name is kind of odd but I went on a random name generator and this came out, I could pretend it had something to do with beauty counters but it doesn't. Sometimes I'm tempted to change the name but that seems a lot of effort and I suppose it's a short and simple name. It's a beauty blog with the occasional random chatty post, but I like to focus on bargain products.

'Why did you want to start your blog?'

I started my blog because it's something I'd wanted to do for ages. Before I bought a product I would always read through beauty blogs to find reviews and they were something I loved to read. But it annoyed me how a lot of blogs mainly review higher end products that I could never afford which I why I try and concentrate my blog on bargains and cheap products that I wanted to hear about myself. I'd ummed and aahed about it for years and eventually I just decided to take the plunge. Someone asked me what the worst that could happen was, and I realised that the worst thing that could happen would be if no-one read it, and I talk to myself all the time anyway so that wouldn't be an issue. It started just as something to do over summer but then I ended up getting followers and found the beauty blogging community which I LOVE and I intend to stick around as long as possible.

'What’s some other blogs you like and where do you take inspiration from?'

Oh god this is so hard because I like a LOT of blogs! I absolutely love Miss Makeup Magpie, A Yellow Brick Blog, Love from Be, My Pale Skin and Tale of a Pale Face, Drugstore Obsession and Dolly Birds and Bows. If I'm honest the list could go on forever as I haven't actually found a blog I don't like really, but these are ones that stick out to me and I love and read all of the time. I'm now going to end up in a guilt obsession over blogs I didn't mention but also love.  I try and use my own inspiration when writing my blog as I want to make sure that my writing sounds like me and is personal to me. I do love reading other blogs to get ideas for products to buy and review so I guess a lot of my buying inspiration comes from other bloggers.

'What are you hoping for in the future?'

I have no idea! I really really love blogging and the blogging community. I've organised a meet up for August and I can't wait to meet other bloggers then and network more. Obviously I want my blog to grow as much as possible as it's such a warm fuzzy feeling when you reach a follower milestone or someone likes a post. But right now I'm just learning and trying to make my blog as lovely and good as I can make it. I would love to get better at photography as well and grow my youtube channel. But right now I just want to carry on enjoying it!

What is your favourite thing about blogging?

I've banged on about this a lot but honestly some of the people I've met (online at least) through blogging have been the sweetest people. Recent scandals have came about and obviously not everyone is ever going to be nice in any community. But bloggers seem to be the sweetest people in general and I love taking part in twitter chats and just getting to know the people behind the blogs. 

'Whats your social media links?'

My twitter is: twitter.com/CounterPretty

Id like to thank Catherine for taking part so make sure you go and check out all her links!

Scarlett fashion - Paisie Ocean Blue Necklace *

In my lovely goody bag from the Lincoln blogger meet, I received this down right gorgeous necklace from Scarlett fashion! Now I will say now that I will never say that I love anything given to me by PR or through blog meets ect just because it was free. However this necklace is literally my new baby! It is such my style and I have already picked out outfits that I want to wear it with. So I would like to say thank you for the donation by Scarlett fashion, I LOVE IT! I also wore it in my vlog of the meet so have a look at that (here)

They are an online fashion retailer and I've been having a good look through there website since the meet. I think I meant have to put in an order for the  Missco Girl Oversize bag as It looks beautiful.
