Autumn day/evening outfit!


Hello lovely readers, 

Recently I have realised that in the shops they are clearing out all the summer clothes and bringing in all the autumn/winter clothes. This gets me so excited for the winter months, I absolutely love wooly jumpers and beanies and I can't wait to start getting some wear out of them.

I decided to show an outfit which I am going to be wearing tonight and it's very much autumn inspired. These type of blogposts are my favourite ones to do, I love sharing my outfits and I also love seeing other blogposts like this to get inspiration for my own!

At the moment the weather is so awkward it's too warm to wear a big thick coat but it's too cold to wear just a top so wearing a knit jumper is perfect. Last winter the colours burgundy, khaki green and mustard were definitely in and I'm really hoping that it stays that way this year because those colours are my favourites. 


The jumper i'm wearing is a pretty thin but still warm, it's a mustard colour which I think is perfect for autumn! 
I bought this last year and it's lasted pretty well so far, i'm definitely going to get some wear out of it this year too.



This skirt I have actually featured in another outfit blogpost which was a summer outfit so it shows how versatile this skirt can be. I think it looks really cute with the jumper slightly tucked in and a brown belt. I have also paired it with some plain black tights. 


I live in these chelsea boots when winter rolls around they go with so many things and are super comfy. 
You can't go wrong with a pretty pair of boots.


Lastly I feel like this may quickly become my favourite hairstyle, I've seen a few people wearing their hair this way and I'm not sure why but i really love it! It's so simple to do and it gets the hair at the front out of the way and looks cute. I also did it with three braids the other day but decided to go with just two today.  
Let me know if you like this hair trend? 

Jumper- H&M £7.99
Skirt- Boohoo £15
Boots- Topshop £42

Bold colours make up look!



Hello lovely readers,
Recently i've been seeing tons of "beauty gurus" and beauty bloggers doing bold makeup looks, I really love the look of having a neutral eye and then a pop of colour on the waterline and I really wanted to try it out. 

I went for my natural eye make up, sticking with the neutral brown/gold tones. I always stick to these colours as I feel like they make my eyes pop the most. I went for a turquoise blue under my eyes and on my waterline just as a kind of experiment and I actually really loved the way they turned out. 

I wanted to do a more natural lip and one with a more bold lip to show how you can wear it both ways. Personally I actually really like the look of both but I'd definitely feel more in my comfort zone wearing the nude lip with the bold eyes.


I used the MUA intense colour liner in the colour "turquoise".
I'm actually really pleased with how pigmented and how nicely this liner went on and for £1 you really can't go wrong!



The first lip I did was a more natural one if you didn't want to go ALL out with the eyes and lips. This is one of my all time faves it's a really pretty pinky nude it's called "Asia" by rimmel. 



The brighter option is bright reddish pink this one is called "Papaya punch" by sleek. 
It's a matte lipstick which I really like this is the only matte lipstick I own and I would definitely buy another, this lipstick is great for a bright vibrant makeup look. 

MUA eyeliner- £1 superdrug
Asia rimmel lipstick- around £6 Asda/superdrug
Papaya punch lipstick- £4 superdrug


Let me know if you like this look..

Thanks for reading!

My fortnight rollercoaster


Hello lovely readers, 
I haven't managed to get up a blogpost in quite a while and there has been reason for this!
I didn't realise how jam-packed my beginning of August would be until it got to it. 
It started off with a trip to clacton for the weekend with my boyfriend and his family, then on monday we headed up to pleasure wood hills and great yarmouth. It was so lovely to get away from work for the weekend and the weather was amazing. 





We stayed in Great yarmouth for just one night and headed home on tuesday. The real panic started to kick in when I realised just how close my driving test was. I had a horrendous driving lesson on tuesday night (which i've heard is common to have a bad lesson before your test). 
I was petrified, I am no good with tests and this pushed me WAY out of my comfort zone. 
I ended up with 0 minors but 2 major faults as my examiner took me on a big complicated roundabout which I was not 100% confident on. I was extremely bummed but I'm hoping next time i'll get lucky!



My sister turned 21 the same week and on the saturday we threw her a big family/friends party at our house which my mum made a Hawaiian theme. It'd been raining for the past few days so we were pretty lucky with the weather, it wasn't amazing weather but definitely better than what it had been. 
It was lovely to catch up with all the family that I don't really see as they live quite far away.







To top all the craziness off my boyfriend auditioned for Ninja warrior UK. 
He got through, which was great however, extremely short notice for when we had to travel down to Manchester for him to be in the first heat for the TV show. It was definitely last minute but something that he couldn't turn down, an unmissable opportunity. I think it's more nerve-wracking for family and friends who are watching than the actual contestants. He ended up getting disqualified which will hopefully be shown on TV in the new year. It was definitely a bummer after such a long day. 
Although he is determined to enter again next year and not get disqualified!


*if you were with a contestant they made you sit at the front and get filmed when they were doing the course look out for ugly ass close ups*



*ps i know the writing is backwards but we can just ignore that.. FOAM FINGER*


Overall it's been a rollercoaster of ups and downs this month but it's definitely been enjoyable and eventful. Along with work aswell it's definitely nice to just sit and write a blogpost.
I hope this was moderately enjoyable to read and if so please let me know your thoughts. 
I have been having problems with my comment box which is ongoing so if you have any questions or any ideas of blogposts that you'd recommend me doing please feel free to email me at- paisleysx@hotmail.co.uk

Fashion/Beauty Haul!




Hello lovely readers, 

So I have realised I have a very busy/eventful August and it's causing me to stress just slightly. How do I cope with stress or any emotion for that matter.. shopping of course. This isn't a huge haul but just a few bits and bobs I have recently purchased and wanted to show you. 


Starting off with these insanely cute pyjamas I picked up from Primark. 
I am going away for a long weekend with my boyfriends family and decided i'd need to buy some pyjamas as I literally own none now and when I saw these I fell in love so cute and comfy. 


Next item I had been eyeing up for so long, every time I went into new look I saw this top I just didn't want to pay £20 for it but when I saw it in the sale for half the price I was beyond happy. I love the burnt orange colour and the gypsy style. 


I also bought this steal from the new look sale, believe it or not this is a size 16 I am usually an 8 in tops however with a bandeau underneath everything is fine! This top is so pretty especially the back which is tied but then has a split open back. 


Continuing on with the 'open back' theme of top, I got this one from boohoo it's really simple white cami with a low back. I do love this however I didn't realise how sheer it was so i'm going to pair this with a bandeau and it looks really pretty.
(i'm so sorry about the creases >:(  ) 


This bra let was also from boohoo, I just wanted to get this to wear under low cut tops which I  have quite a few of. I do like this however it isn't the best quality but I guess you get what you pay for!
Cheap and cheerful.


These are the bandeaus that I will be wearing with the tops, the grey will go with both but obviously the neon orange I'll only be able to wear with the white top. They were super cheap from Primark and work wonders!


Onto beauty, I got this from super drug the sleek counter and this is the highlighting palette. I'm really into highlighting my cheekbones and and strong contour at the moment and I wanted a good highlight. This palette has 4 highlights and I've used it once and I'm absolutely loving it so far. They are all cream highlighters except the darkest shade on the bottom right. 


Here's a photo I took after using it.
This is obviously quite subtle and I am very pale, however, I think with a tan some bronzed up cheeks and the highlight it will look amazing. I can't wait to have a night out just to do my make up with this!


I have wanted a BB cream for SO long, I really don't get on with foundation it's never the right match and I don't like the way it feels on my face. This is heaven. It's so light on your skin but still has coverage and actually matches my skin. I'm so happy I got it.


I also wanted to try a new concealer, of course I got rimmel because they are my all time favourite drugstore make up brand. I've also only used this once but my first impressions of it are pretty good. It does the job, I like it! I got it in the lightest colour because I'm pale af :(  Also I just like getting the lightest that a concealer does so I can also highlight with it. 


Pug Pjama Top- Primark £4 
Pug Pjama bottoms- Primark £6
Gyspy style top- New look £9 in sale
Dark pink/red top open back- New look £8 in sale
White low back top- Boohoo £10
Black bra let- Boohoo £8
Bandeaus- Primark £1.50 each 
Sleek highlighting palette- Superdrug £9.99
Rimmel BB cream- Superdrug £4.99
Match perfection concealer- Asda £4.97

And that concludes the haul!
I really want to start doing try on pictures so pictures with the clothes I buy but wearing them with someone taking the pictures of me. I'm not sure if that's something my blog readers would like to see if it is then please leave me a comment below if you can't comment for any reason email me on paisleysx@hotmail.co.uk I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks for reading!

Summer evening outfit!



Hello lovely readers,
It's my mum's birthday today and tonight we are going out for a meal. 
The weather isn't that great it's quite cloudy, however, it's still pretty warm out so I thought I'd show you the outfit I'll be wearing. These type of blogposts are usually my favourites to do so you'll realise I have done quite a few. 


I decided to wear some denim shorts with a brown belt along with my quarter sleeve top which is quite warm. I thought i'd pair these two together because it's still warm but not warm enough to wear something like a halter top which is probably what I would have gone with if it were warmer. 
I absolutely love this top it's so bohemian style with big lace sleeves, it's also just really soft and comfy to wear. 


The first choice of shoes I thought would go with outfit were these sandals, they match the colour of my top and are just really pretty and were super cheap! I think these would be a lot better if I were going out somewhere for the day and if it were a bit warmer out. 


The shoes I will be wearing are my white slip on vans because they are more weather appropriate, I love them!


The necklace I'm wearing is my swarvoski necklace which my boyfriend got me for christmas, it's really simple and pretty. 


I am also wearing a really simple ring which is just a light blue stone with gold hardware. 


Finishing off with my make up, it's really subtle and light. I've tried to achieve a duey bronzy kind of make uo look with rose gold tone on my eyes and nude lip.


Top- Boohoo £14
Shorts- Topshop £28
Sandals- Primark £6
Vans- soletrader £39
Ring- Primark £2

Let me know if you like the outfit in the comments!

FujiFilm Instax share printer review!



Hello lovely readers, 
Today I'm going to do a review on the instax share printer by fujifilm which is a device which allows you to print any pictures you have on any of your devices, phones, iPads etc.. onto little polaroids! 
I really don't know why I haven't done this sooner as I got this for my 19th birthday in April, I wasn't expecting to get this present as I didn't actually ask for it specifically, however, I've seen them and really wanted to get one. My mum knows how much I love taking photos and I had previously mentioned I'd love to have a full wall just of polaroid pictures. 

Firstly I want to talk about how easy it is to set up, it comes with instructions to set it all up with all information of how to get the paper in correctly and all that jazz. All you have to do is turn the printer on and connect to it's wifi on your wifi settings on your phone/ipad/tablet whatever you're using. You have to download an app from the App Store which is called instax share and from there it's pretty simple!


You have a few options you can get the pictures from your camera roll or a social media website, once you have selected a picture you can make the picture landscape or portrait (personally I prefer portrait), you can crop the picture, put on a filter, add text to the bottom. A cute idea is actually putting the dates on the bottom which I was going to do but I may write them on with pen I haven't actually decided. 

Don't get me wrong the normal polaroid cameras are amazing but the reason I love this printer so much is you can choose pictures you know you love whereas with the normal polaroids once you've taken the picture there's no going back and if you don't like the picture it's wasted one of your polaroid papers and you're stuck with it, ya feel me? 
My boyfriend bought me and polaroid camera and I love it, I think they're a lot better for taking candid pictures of things, not that great for selfies. 

As you can see the printer is really small and simple, It's easy to pack and take with you if you were going anywhere although I find that you don't really need to take it anywhere because you take all the photos on your normal devices.



The only downside to these is that the paper obviously isn't the cheapest to buy and I will have to buy some more paper because I only got 20 sheets with mine. Totally worth it though!


I am in love with it and think it's 100% worth the money. 
(To clarify this isn't sponsored as I've already mentioned I got it for my birthday just wanted to let everyone know my opinions incase you're thinking of purchasing) 


I also wanted to add to this blogpost I recently received a message saying that someone had been trying to post comments on my post's and it wouldn't allow them to do so. I'm trying really hard to find out why this is, if you try to comment on this post and it doesn't allow it still please let me know somehow so I know. If it does allow the comment let me know what you think of the instax printer if you own one!
