OOTD: The Yellow Blazer

Top: eBay

Skirt: H&M

Blazer: Forever 21

Bag: Zara

Shoes: New Look
Necklace: H&M

Sunglasses: New Look

I'm so excited that I've got the full weekend off (which barely happens) and to make it even better the sun has made an appearance. As soon as I saw that the sun was out I was in the back garden taking blog photos, the sun just makes the photos look so much better doesn't it? After my last outfit post I promised myself that I would start doing more instead of just focusing on beauty because I do love fashion just as much as makeup.

Right now my favourite thing in my wardrobe is my yellow blazer. I've wanted one since last summer and finally found one I love from Forever 21 (I wanted last years Zara one SO much). I decided to pair it with my faux Celine top which I searched everywhere for and a little skater skirt from H&M. Also one of my favourite necklaces at the moment is this gold chain which is also from H&M, I've been wearing it with everything. Not to forget my beloved Zara Office City bag that I use almost everyday, I love how expensive it looks. After seeing the tan version on Kayleigh's blog I want that in my life too! Unfortunately, a tan bag is the last thing I need (I still love you Bayswater). 

What's your favourite thing in your wardrobe at the moment? 

The Perspex Clutch

Perspex is a huge trend for SS13 and I noticed that lots of lovely ladies were carrying perspex clutch bags at London Fashion Week. This little beauty is actually a cosmetics bag from H&M (where I work) but when I saw the lovely Gemma (who has amazing style) using it as a clutch bag I thought it was such a good idea! At £6.99 (I got it for about £5), I had to have it as a lot of the see through clutch bags are quite expensive. I love that it incorporates another one of this seasons trends too - neon. It also comes in neon pink and is such an affordable way to work this Spring/Summer trend. What do you think of the perspex trend?

March Favourites

• Soap & Glory The Breakfast Scrub - I love all of the Soap & Glory products, but my favourite is 100% this one (closely followed by the Glow Getter tan), a body scrub that consists of little beads that give you silky smooth skin. It contains oat, Shea butter and sugar along with other lovely ingredients like almond and honey which makes it a must have skin care product for me. I use this a couple of times a week to buff off my tan and exfoliate my skin ready for another layer, it also has an amazing maple scent (smells good enough to eat). This is one product I always repurchase and if you haven't tried it I definitely recommend that you do.

• Garnier Ultimate Beauty Oil - I did a review on this body oil at the start of March and have still been using it (almost) everyday. It's extra moisturising and has a lovely subtle scent, not to mention its so much more convenient than a lotion if you're lazy like me. If you want to read my full review on it you can here.

• VO5 Plump It Up Dry Backcomb Spray - I'm forever trying to get volume in my flat, limp hair and have tried loads of products that just don't seem to work. A couple of months ago I bought some products from the VO5 Plump It Up range and this one stood out to me the most. After using my Aussie Aussome Volume shampoo and conditioner and my Plump It Up mousse, I spray this onto my roots and backcomb my hair slightly to give it some extra volume. I've seen some negative reviews on this but it works fine for me, it's by no means a miracle product but it does give my hair a little more volume and texture than usual and I use it every day. 

• MAC Pink Nouveau - So far I have 12 MAC lipsticks in my collection and the one I've been reaching for the most this month is Pink Nouveau. It's a lovely medium pink with blue undertones and has a satin finish. It's not too bright so it's perfect for everyday wear and I've been loving pairing it with my Revlon ColorBurst lipgloss in Pink Ice. 

• Barry M Gelly Nail Paint Lychee - I'm a massive fan of nude nail polish and even dedicated a whole post to them here. Now I have a new favourite to add to my collection - Barry M Lychee. I already have a couple of the Gelly polishes, I love the finish of them and they are one of my favourites (Essie is still in the lead though). Lychee is a gorgeous Spring nude, a really pale creamy coffee colour and I've been wearing it constantly on my nails this month. I'll definitely buy it again when this one runs out - and it will!

• L'Oreal Super Liner - Another product I've been wearing every day is this pen liner. I posted about this in February and have been using it almost every day since then. It's so easy to use and the thin tip makes appplication super quick, especially when I'm running about for work in the morning. For now this has even replaced my beloved Maybelline gel liner but maybe I'll rekindle my love for it this month.

Munro's Glasgow

Last Wednesday I was lucky enough to be invited along to the official launch of Munro's, a new craft beer bar in Glasgow's West End. It's situated on Great Western Road (formerly The Captain's Rest) and only a short walk from St George's Cross subway, so it's really easy to get to from the city centre. 

The space has had a complete refurbishment and is so warm and welcoming inside, somewhere comfortable to relax after spending the day traipsing through Glasgow. Munro's offers a range of quality craft and cask ales on tap as well as 6 guest beers from all over the world which rotate regularly. Can't decide? Why not order the taster bat and get 3 1/3 pints of your choice. The perfect place for beer lovers! 

As well as their amazing drink selection, they offer a delicious food menu which is served from noon until 10pm. We got to sample some of the yummy beer bites (my favourite being the stuffed jalapenos) and tasters of some of the main meals (the burger was amazing) which go great with a pint. 

If you're in the West End and looking for a place to relax, grab a drink and a bite to eat then Munro's is the perfect place. Don't worry if you're not a huge beer fan, there's plenty of other drink options such as wine and cider (which gave me my horrendous hangover). Don't fancy a drink? Get out of the cold and grab a coffee or hot chocolate instead. I'll definitely be going back!

For more information and full menus, you can check out the website here and thank you to Munro's and the guys at DADA for such a lovely (and merry) night.

My Wardrobe: New Spring Pieces

 Blue Blazer - Forever 21 £16.00//Yellow Blazer - Forever 21 £29

 Yellow Jumper - H&M £12.99//Mint Jumper - H&M £14.99

 Yellow & Blue Dresses - H&M £7.99

I thought I'd do a bit of a different post today and show you some new clothes I've picked up for my Spring wardrobe (if it ever gets warm enough to wear them). I don't like to spend too much on clothes because of the forever changing trends and don't want to pay a lot of money for something I might only wear for one season. That's why I rely on shops like H&M (where I work) for their affordable, 'fast fashion' pieces. Also, last week the first ever Forever 21 opened in Scotland (directly across from my work) so I also went in there a picked up a few things. I shopped in Forever 21 when I visited places like New York and Florida so I'm so happy one has finally opened in Glasgow!

As you can see I'm loving bright/neon yellow right now, every time I see something this colour I need to have it. Last night I wore the blue dress with my yellow blazer (and was freezing), I love these two colours together and they're such a big trend for SS13. I've also got an addiction to buying blazers at the moment, I now have one in yellow, blue, pink, mint, orange, navy/white stripes, black and white...I think I need a red one next! The yellow dress and jumper also look lovely under the blue blazer, I can't wait to wear them (please stop snowing). 

I'm really happy with my purchases, they were so cheap and I love how I can mix and match and wear them together. What trend are you loving this season...pastels or neon? I think I'm leaning more towards neon!
