Pictures of August!

Hello! ♥

As I haven't posted much this month (or last for that matter but we will let that slide!) I thought it would be a nice idea to share with you what August has consisted of for me in pictures!

You may, if you follow me on instagram (Ashlee_yy), have seen some of these already as I'm rather obsessed with taking pictures and uploading them to insta! Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Explanations from top left to bottom right:

The first picture is the beautiful view on one of my runs along the rail way track. Literally one of the only things I love about living in the countryside. 

Then we have my new white blazer and pink top. Obviously I've shopped a lot during August, as I do every month! But this has been one of my faves, I've wanted a white blazer for the longest time and this topshop one is just beaut!

Nandos. What more can I say, I'm obsessed!

New top, but most of all fave lipstick! You all know since I bought Rimmel's Apocalips lip colour I haven't been the biggest fan, but this month it really is growing on me in the colour galaxy and I have to admit it has been my most worn.

Eggs. I have been trying to eat healthy, workout loads and hopefully loose my fatty wee tummy! I used to hate eggs but I've been experimenting and I can honestly say, I no longer despise them.

Pink sky at night. See, the most beautiful thing about countryside living is the views. So pretty!

Scone with eyes? Yes, I'm mature. You will have seen from my birthday haul that my sister got me these edible eyes and obviously I've been sticking them on all of my families food.

This has been one of my favourite hair styles this month, so easy to do, so comfortable and still looks cute. Sometimes I just wear the doughnut alone but I think the bow adds a girly cute touch to boring outfit days.

Lastly, my new Chanel nail polish phone case. I've been loving this thing to bits. Its downfall would be that it scratched so easily but, what did I expect for under a fiver? 

Anyway, there has been my favourites for the month of August!

Hope you enjoyed them,

What have your favourites been this month?

Happy Birthday!

Hello All♥

This is the most belated Birthday haul ever but, i thought i would quickly show you all what i got for my birthday! I think you all know me by now to know that i am in no way bragging, i'm extremely grateful for everything i receive from anyone and i am doing this post to show my appreciation not to brag or anything like that! So here goes!

So firstly my mam bought me this beautiful Topshop jacket which i have wanted for the longest time but just didn't want to part with £60 for it, so my beautiful mother bought it for me. 

My little sister (not so little) bought me these amazzzing Miss Selfridge shorts:

And these crazy presents, very typical of my sister and I:

Stick on food eyes, to be mature and make our food come to life.

A cute chocolate bar.

Finger Moustaches.

I love these presents, she knows me too well! 

My love for moustaches will never end! My friends and I went out for my birthday and we each wore a moustache on our fingers hence why a few are missing in the picture.

Here's me wearing mine, i've cut my friends out as i'm not sure they will all want publicised on my blog haha!:

Ok, my step-dad and my mum put a little box together for me filled with loads of the things i love! I love little cute thoughtful presents like this! As it was full of little goodies i've only included a little sample of pictures of what was inside as i would be here all day if i were to show you everything!

Then, my lovely boyfriend gave me loads of beautiful things including this massive lot:

I was in love with both of these Mean Girls themed tops and i had no idea he was getting me the shoes but he knows me too well, i love them!

However some of my fave presents aside from my mums and my sisters, were these two from Sean:

Crown Links of London charm for my bracelet.

Annnnd...

Amazing crystal bra. I am overly in love with this, what girl wouldn't like a crystal encrusted, sequinned, beaded bra? It looks so beautiful under low arm-holed tops or low cut, backless tops and makes a statement to simple outfits. I am yet to wear it out but when i do i will be sure to post how i style it!

Anyway,

Thats pretty much everything i got for my birthday!

I love everyone who got me presents and wished me a happy birthday and i truly had a lovely day!

Hope you all enjoyed this haul, i have loads of hauls and reviews coming so stay tuned!

Birthday Wishlist!

Hello Beautiful♥

So, it's my birthday next month! And, although i say i don't want to celebrate anymore now that i'm too far past 21, i still want presents, obviously, haha!

Just kidding, i'm not putting this out there for people to buy me presents, i'm just using it as a normal wishlist but as people have asked me what i would like or what i am receiving for my birthday i thought i would just share the things i'm loving at the moment in a wishlist :), so here it is:

I'll go through the items above in order from top left to bottom right and if you love anything and want to buy if for yourself or to buy as a little present for someone you know then simply click the pink writing and it will take you straight to it:

Tiara Charm // Links of London

Passport // Renew or Replace UK here

Crystal Bra // Various places such as Here

Neon Yellow Skater Skirt // Missguided

Mega Platform Shoe // Amazon

MAC Studio Fix Fluid in Colour NC20 // MAC

Chanel Hair Mist // Selfridges

Black Skater Skirt // Amazon

You Can Sit With Us Crop // Amazon

Infinity Type Ring // Various such as Here

So basically, i have liked most of these things for a long time now:

I love my Links bracelet so i love looking through the charms, i like a lot of them on the website just now such as the hedgehog with the apple, the chic handbag and this cute little tiara. Even at 23this July, i still like to think of myself as a princess, haha!

The passport is obviously because i want to go on holiday, i'm planning on bribing my mum into paying for this one for me for my birthday as she has no idea what to get me and it is something worthwhile getting, that i actually need and will use!

Crystal bra, i'm obsessed with these just now, like literally in love. I suppose they could look trashy but i think worn in the right way they are really pretty and can really add sparkle to simple outfits. I just think they're really cute and i desperately need to get my hands on one!

This yellow skater skirt has also been on my wishlist for a while, i love absolutely anything that is yellow just now for some reason and this bright skater has to be mine! Love it and it's so affordable.

These platform shoes are massive, and might break my ankle but i think shoes like this look really cute with skinny jeans and a nice top on a night out and i need a new pair of closed toe black heels to replace my Primark ones which absolutely kill my feet like nothing else!

MAC studio fix fluid is a foundation i love and i just want to go back to it after using Max Factor for some while now, we all need a change every once in a while!

The Chanel Hair Mist obviously isn't essential ad is probably quite a waste of money as i could just use my perfume to mist through my hair, i just thought this was a cool idea for hair lovers and a good present to give anyone you know who likes this kind of thing.

Can't have too many skater skirts and i actually own loads, none of which are black! This one is particularly cheap and well worth a purchase as a wardrobe staple!

You Can't Sit With Us Crop - Literally my favourite saying and movie quote, i've wanted this top for ages and ages so quirky and simple and yet again Amazon have come up trumps! Love it.

Infinity Ring - I look at infinity rings online all the time and i think they are so cute! I have always wanted a really simple cute one maybe with a little bit of sparkle on one side or something and i love the ones that are engraved in the inside, so personal and sweet! Some i have seen online have "I Love You", "Best Friends", "Forever" or some personal sayings engraved inside just for the person you are giving to. Too cute. Probably wouldn't pay a lot for one of these unless it's for something really special, i just really like the affordable cute ones like the one i've linked above :).

So that's basically my July wishlist! Which items do you like from it?

Would you like to give or receive any of these items as a gift?

Barbie Gal!

Hello!♥

How lovely is the weather this week? I'm getting so excited for Summer and i bet it starts raining tomorrow now i've said that..

Anyway, since it's been nice i thought i would crack out the short shorts again while i can and i'm just going to share a really quick OOTD with you guys before i head outside and enjoy the sun while it's hanging about!

Dress/Karma Shorts/RiverIsland

Shoes/Primark

Bag/F&F

I love this Karma dress but as a dress, its pretty short to wear without leggings or tights so i've tucked it into my beloved high-waisted river island shorts and paired it with my casual cream and black contrast pointed-toe flats from primark and a n oversized cream. tan and brown bag.

How would you style this barbie dress?

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine!

eBay & Amazon Wishlist!

Hello m'lovelies!♥

First off, i am so sorry that i have not blogged in ages! I have been really stressy about things and have had a lot on my mind and though there is no excuse, i will hopefully be back to blogging twice a week or more from now on!

Anyway, today i am going to be giving you guys my eBay wishlist as i've been lusting over a few bargain items and i really want to share them with you guys so you can maybe pick up a bargain too! 

First off this this Feline top in copy of the Celine Paris tees. I love this and have for ages, not sure why i haven't bought it yet! You can pick it up by just searching on eBay but the cheapest seller i could currently find was here.

Next, is this Boy London skater skirt seen on Rihanna and Jesse J. I have also loved this for a while and think it's sure cute to dress up and down! More than likely not real BL but, i'm definitely ok with imitation. The cheapest eBay seller i could find was here.

I have wanted an oversized mint jumper for the longest time, these eBay ones come in loads of different colours and are so cheap that i need one in my life! They are here.

These are out of stock in my size but, i really need them! I know it's coming up for Summer but, i live in Scotland, there is a very high chance i will get good wear out of them! You can get these here.

Leigh style skinny jeans in loads and loads of rainbow colours! Granted, there are not many colours left of these on this seller right now, but you can still give them a try here.

I don't even like JD but i like this top. I've seen a few people wearing it and i think it goes really well with skinny jeans and a leather jacket or tucked into a black skater skirt with heels for a night out. And, it's really cheap! Here. They also have similar ones if you search about on Amazon such as coca-cola ones!

MAC single eye-shadow in Idol Eyes. These claim to be genuine and i'll take their word for it but at the end of the day i like the colour of the eye-shadow and £7.99 is not going to break the bank! Here.

Uch, i go on about this all the time yet i still haven't forked out for it. I just am a little sceptical on the claimed results but, i might just bite the bullet and try it. It's a lot cheaper than most other whitening toothpastes too! You can get it here.

Such a good price for the Real Techniques Core Collection. Defo going to be purchasing this from Amazon and you can too here.

This Mary Jane Fashion high waisted. faux leather skater skirt has been on my list for a while. It looks lovely and i think these skirts are so on trend and go with just about anything! You can pick this up here.

This skull cardi isn't every ones cup of tea but, it is mine! I think it's just so casual and comfy but stylish at the same time and i love anything slouchy to laze around in and at only £22.99 you can't really go wrong so, here it is.

Fifteen quid is not cheap for a sponge, but i really want to try the beauty blender so, maybe next time i get paid this will be my slight splurge product! You can get the beauty blender here.

And thats pretty much all i'm lusting after from eBay and Amazon!

If you have any of these or have bought anything exciting from eBay or Amazon please do let me know in a wee comment, i love bargain hunting and i would love to add more of your recommendations to my list!
