Sensational Sunday

The weather has been brilliant, the shopping has been fun and today my blog is celebrating its two month anniversary.

With over 190 followers and more than 3000 page views, I have to say I'm ecstatic and I'm so thankful to everyone that's showing me support. I hope that my blog can blossom even more in the next few months and I hope I continue to create the content you would like to read. To celebrate, I've decided to change my blog to a custom domain, so from now on my blog will be known as:

www.forevermissvanity.com

Today has also been a great day for shopping...hang on...when isn't there a good day for shopping?

I mean, sales wise. I love spring time sales as it's a great time to accumulate clobber for those summer festivals and renew your summer wardrobe.

Here is what I bought:

This gorgeous little jacket from the River Island sale!

Originally this jacket cost £130 but I managed to get it for £30. If you haven't managed to get down to the River Island sale yet, I would strongly recommend it. I may have to pop in again tomorrow...

I also got these lovely earrings. They're so cute.

Finally I bought these two lipsticks. They are currently on offer at Superdrug for 2 for £6.

 

They are the 'True Colour' lipsticks by Sleek Makeup in the shades 'Peaches and Cream' and 'Bare All'.

 The one I'm wearing in the picture is called 'Peaches and Cream' and it is a sheen lipstick. It glides on effortlessly and has fantastic coverage - very shiny. I've always wanted to try out this shade and try the brand Sleek Makeup and they haven't disappointed me.

This lipstick is the 'Bare All' shade, which is a matte finish. It looks pretty, natural and a great day time lipstick. I can tell this one will be used quite frequently.

From a first impression, I'm rather happy with the Sleek Makeup brand and I can't wait to try more. The lipsticks seem good quality and definitely value for money.

Contemplations and Relaxation

[ My partner took this picture and by the looks of it, I was thinking about random things as per usual]

Today has been yet another lazy Sunday. I've contemplated doing many things but spent most of the day wandering round town and generally being lazy.

I did manage to pick up some lovely little items that I'd love to share with you:

I love this little jumper that I bought from Primark. It cost me £10 and I'm very impressed. The use of bold colours are great for the up coming months and although I'm not American, I love the American Flag design.

Yet again, it's another fab find from Primark. Time to get them straw hats ready and hit the hillsides. I love this checked little bandeau top. They also have dress versions but this suits me a lot better due to my height. Not too bad for £7.

 I have to say, I stand by what I said in my last post, Primark has definitely upped their game in the latest season and it i yet again becoming a triumph for quick fix fashion on a low budget. This little peach top is really cute and it's the perfect colour for the summer.

The Perfume...

So hooked on Carmella - Benefit

I love the new Chloe perfume and I've asked my to get it for my birthday but I wanted to treat myself before then, so I went to town and looked around.

I walked into Boots the other day and spent forever looking at perfumes, my poor partner was bored out of his mind. As I was walking out, I popped by my local Benefit counter,decided to try some of their products and fell in love with "So hooked on Carmella". The box that it came in

The scent reminds me of walking into an old sweetie shop and the old vanilla and rhubarb sweets that you could buy. That may sound weird but it smells divine. It's a mix between everything sweet that you love, with a floral essence.

The bottle is small but cute, has a vintage-esque design and resembles a cocktail shaker.  It would look perfect in any fashionista's handbag and I'm so happy that I bought this product. I have always had a passion for Benefit products and yet again, they have failed to disappointment me and I'm already planning my next purchases.

My New Sunnies

The weather has been lovely and bright in Yorkshire today and I've finally had the chance to wear my favourite sunnies that I bought in Primark. 

After having my hair coloured yesterday, I also bought some brand new extensions. I know lots of people who absolutely hate them and lots of people that really like them and I have to say, I cannot live without them. My hair is quite fine and I love the long lengths and the volume. 

I also bought this lovely No7 Blemish stick with my £5 Boots voucher. The product is lovely, creamy and blends really well. It would have cost £8 without the voucher and I would be more than happy to spend that much on this product in the future.

What have you been buying lately?

Costume Jewellery Love Affair

I've always been the type of girl that cares more about handbags than shoes and never really cared too much about accessories...until now. I've never really been attracted to it. Whilst everyone I know has been swooning over Pandora bracelets, I've been checking out handbags and dresses and generally not thinking too much about jewelry. I would wear the odd piece but its never really fascinated me.

The necklace in the above picture changed everything. It's a pearl necklace that my Granddad bought my grandma when she was really young, approximately 70 years ago. It has been about 8 years since my Grandma passed away and my mothers had this necklace in her draw. I was wearing my chiffon top that I will be adding later in the post and I wanted something to dress it up. I slid this necklace on and I realised that I needed more jewelry. Since then, I've gone jewellery mad! It doesn't matter whether your jewelry is £1 or thousands of pounds, if it glams up your outfit, you're onto a winner.

I got these earrings off Ebay (brand new) for £1 and I love them. I also got the broach from Primark and the ring.

Here are a few of my favourite pieces from the high street:

Have you bought any jewellery recently?
