Hair Treats

If you know me, you will know that I am forever messing about with my hair. I've dyed it almost every colour under the sun, had it cut short, grown it back, and forever go round and round in circles, yet lately, since being home from University, I've barely touched it, and I can certainly see and feel a difference. My hair is naturally dead straight, so I can simply leave it to dry naturally and not do a thing to it. Having recently said goodbye to my horrid split ends, I decided I wanted to look after my hair more, which would only mean using good products little but often. Moroccan Oil was on the top of my list to get!

Moroccan Oil has caused a huge craze lately for all hair lovers. This 'miracle' oil as some have called it works wonders on your hair. I was first introduced to it by my cousin, who had purchased the large bottle for a whopping £30 after falling in love with the product.  I'd contemplated getting the big bottle myself, but just couldn't justify the price. So when I saw this small sample 25ml sized bottle for only £12.50 I could not resist! 

Moroccan Oil

Firstly I love the size of this bottle. It's perfect to fit into your handbag, and great for a holiday too! Personally, I think that this bottle is just as good as getting the bigger one for £30 as it lasts forever as you only use a pea size amount each time.

Moroccan oil is designed for the ends of your hair. A small pea size amount rubbed through your hands and on the lengths of your hair does the trick nicely. With a non greasy texture, you can use this on damp towel dried hair or completely dry hair, whichever you find best for you. 

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray 

I haven't yet tried this product out, but from reading other blogs, It seems the Bumble and Bumble range is very popular, and this spray seems to get a lot of attention. I figured this would be a nice little treat for my holiday to create a beachy wave look when I'm in Ibiza. This little bottle cost £9.50 and again, is perfect holiday size. I'm excited to try this out, although knowing me, I'll go for an effortless look when it most likely took me about an hour to achieve my desired hair style. 

Have you brought any hair products lately? What do you think of Moroccan oil & Bumble and Bumble products?

Ibiza Summer Haul

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/8267923/?claim=ugz23gskng3">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a> 

It's not long now until I jet off to Ibiza for a whole month. How exciting! I've been counting down the days with my app on my phone, and it's only 26 days until I fly out there. I'm really looking forward to some sun, anything to get away from this depressing British weather! 

I've been buying a few pieces recently, and have found that Primark do some amazing summer pieces. I've always been a fan of Primark, well working there for two years it was hard not to buy from there, but more recently, they have certainly up'd their game, and have some amazing items for a great price!

Ibiza instantly screams sun, a whole lot of fun, and if your lucky unlike myself, then a golden tan, which meant a few bikini pieces were on the shopping list! I'm taking my Jack Will's one out with me this summer that my parents treated me to last year. A simple two piece striped bikini in Jack Wills traditional colours of blue and pink, this number will hopefully keep me going for a few more summers to come. Now, a brighter piece was essential for my trip. so I went for this turquoise number (see in pic) It's a gorgeous colour and with removable straps, I can avoid the dreaded tan lines!

Above are a few of the many things I'm taking out with me. Primark aztec and printed shorts are a must this summer! Nice and light, not to mention comfortable, I'm sure I will get a lot of wear out of these! The blue / purple shorts are Topshop, but I got them off Ebay for a cheeky £10 Bargain!

This is just a selection of some of the things I've got, there was far too much to fit in the photo. Oops.

What summer bits have you brought?

Turquoise Jewellery

Jewellery, now tell me what girl doesn't love it? Personally, it has to be one of my favourite accessories to go with an outfit. There is so much to choose from, rings, necklaces, anklets - the list goes on but a favourite of mine this season is Turquoise jewellery. Firstly it's my favourite colour, so even more reason to be attracted to it, but secondly, it's such a bright and summery colour. 

Whenever I'm out in town shopping, I'm always on the lookout for a new piece to add to my small but ever growing collection. There are loads of high street shops with gorgeous pieces for a great price for you to get your hands on this summer to brighten up your summer wardrobe that little bit more, and to tempt you that little bit more, turquoise jewellery will show off that golden tan to the max! 

Here are a few particular pieces I love.

I personally think that the silver compliments the turquoise stone better than gold, but other people prefer the gold, so it's a personal choice, but not to worry, as there is plenty of jewellery to choose from, so you'll be struggling to pick your statement piece! 

Recently I've brought myself some lovely rings from Primark, and I have to say, for a cheeky £1.50, they have seriously upped their game. Impressing. Although Primark have a great selection in at the moment, another store which also stock a slightly more expensive range are Newlook, which I have to say, if I could, I would buy the whole collection, it's gorgeous! 

The great thing with the turquoise statement stone is that it works with a small, simple piece, or bigger statement necklace, yet they look equally as good as the stones are so bright and summery.

Why not head out and see if you can find yourself some turquoise pieces? Any excuse to go shopping eh?!

Cambridge Satchel Company

Now, if you're anything like me, then bags are a favourite accessory to have! All different shapes, sizes, colours and not to mention designers. After a think about what bag I wanted to purchase next, I narrowed it down to one. A Cambridge Satchel. These have bloomed recently, and I'm sure you have all seen or heard of the Google Chrome advert which they are featured in. And if you haven;t yet seen it, check it out on Youtube asap, and I an guarantee you will want your hands on a Satchel in minutes! 

I decided that the Satchel was a perfect buy as they will never go out of fashion, and a bag that can go with every outfit in a simple colour is a must have for a girls wardrobe! After looking on the website, I noticed that my decision was going to be a lot harder than expected. Far too many designs and colours to choose from, but after my trip in to town today, visiting the newly opened Cambridge store, a certain one caught my eye.

This cream limited edition leather satchel was my final choice. Originally playing it safe with a tan leather bag, I decided to go for a lighter colour, and this cream number is lovely. I personally love the first feel of a new bag. The smell of fresh leather, and that new feel it has to it.

At a affordable £120, but with a cheeky 20% off, this bag was a great deal, and will last a long time being leather. Another bonus, leather bags last forever! 

I can't wait to get more use out of this bag, its gorgeous, and a perfect size for your handbag essentials! 

What style and colour satchel would you choose?

Final Week At ELLE

My final week at ELLE has been great and I'm sad that it was my last day on friday. Although, little did I know, they asked me to come back for a day extra, so thats great news! This week has been just as fun as the last, if not more. Consisting of more returns, more exciting deliveries, helping out taking items over to a photoshoot, and having my picture on the ELLE website again. Here's a few pics of my week for you.

More Fashion Returns

Overall, an amazing last week, and I have learnt so much over two weeks! They have flown by. I've been blessed with amazing opportunities, and got to work with and meet some great people! Still another day to go working for ELLE, which will be my official last day, but hopefully not forever as you never know what doors the experience may open. Who knows, give it a few years and I may find myself working there as a Fashion assistant rather than an Intern...
