Outfit of the day;

This outfit is definitely on the grungy side of my wardrobe but I still love it's simple, effortless look. I wore this outfit a few days ago when I went shopping and it was so comfy! I wore it with a thin pair of black tights as well but an outfit like this look gorgeous with bare legs too (it just wasn't warm enough). It's such a casual look and could be worn practically anywhere. The lace top gives it a girlish twist which contrasts with the grungy black doc martens. High waisted denim shorts are definitely in fashion right now and they look great with almost everything!
I hope I've inspired you a little with this outfit.

Collection 2000 lip products;

So I was shopping the other day and I made a quick stop into Superdrug to have a look for a new lipstick. I've been wanting a solid red lipstick for a while now but every time I buy one for some reason they come out pink on my lips. The look completely different to the actual colour of the product. I don't like to spend too much on any type of lip product as I tend to use it for about a month then get bored of it and I won't use it again. I was looking around at all the different makes and then I came across Collection 2000 or Collection as it is now and I saw they had a 3 for 2 offer on. I decided to mix it up a little and I got a lipstick, a lip stain and a lip pen all for around £8 which I thought was pretty good. 

Let's start off with the lipstick. I got it in shade 1 which is called Queen of Hearts and it is a gorgeous red, exactly what I was looking for. You don't need to apply too much and the colour comes out really strong, a little goes a long way! It smells and tastes surprisingly nice. I hate the taste of most lipsticks. It's weird but they taste too 'Producty' if you know what I mean? Where as this one not so much. It does have an essence of 'producty' but it's bearable because of the almost fruity taste.

 Next is the lip gloss. I got this in shade 4 called 'break dance' and it looked a very pretty coral colour. However when you do apply it it comes out almost clear with a tiny hint of colour. I still like it though because it's not too out there and it's very subtle. A lot of lip gloss's are very sticky and heavy I find, but this one isn't. It has a nice light texture and is very easy to apply. Again, the taste is actually quite nice, fairly similar to the lipstick.

And lastly, this is my favourite of all three - the lip stain/pen. I absolutely love this. I got it in shade 3 called 'Flirt' which instantly made me like it even before I had tried it. It's a very pretty pinky colour and it's so easy to apply, it's just like colouring in your lips with a felt tip. The colour lasts for ages too with it being a stain so you don't have to re apply it very often. Not only that but the taste and smell is delicious. I love everything about this product and I will definitely be using it a lot in the next few weeks.

If you are in superdrug or boots or anywhere like that I suggest you go check these out, especially if it's still 3 for 2!

My Old Dutch Pancakes

It really is about the little things in life, and this little pancake restaurant is one of them. One of my friends took me there a few months ago for her birthday and it was amazing. It's in the center of London, literally a 2 minute walk from Holborn so it didn't take long to get there. They sell every kind of pancake you could think of whether it's sweet or savory so if you're a lover of pancakes you really need to check this place out.

I'd been told the pancakes there were pretty big but I didn't expect too much. As we were queuing up to be seated I looked around and was actually shocked at the size of them. The menu was huge but it wasn't difficult for me to decide when i saw they had a nutella one. One of my friends went for a chili con carne pancake which is crazy and not right if you ask me but she seemed to enjoy it. 

(Yeah the pancake doesn't look that big here because there's nothing to compare it to, but trust me when I say, it was pretty damn huge!)

If you live near London I seriously suggest you go check this place out. It's a lovely atmosphere and the pancakes are delicious. The only disappointment was that there was too little nutella for such a big pancake, so next time I go I'll definitely be bringing my own pot ;) 

Hiya Guys,
 So this is my first ever post, where do I begin? Well maybe it would be best if I told you a bit about myself. I love writing and I've been wanting to create my own blog for a months now but I just haven't got round to doing it. Finally though, after days of trying to come up with a name, i'm here writing my first post. I thought having my own blog would be quite simple, but writing this first post is possibly the most difficult thing I've done for a while now. I had already clicked 'New Post' before I had even thought about what I would write and I suddenly became stunned as I stared at this blank page. See, I love to write, I always have, I've just never been good with my words. I know exactly what I want to say but for some reason I just can't get it out. I hope it just gets easier the more I get used to the blogging world.
 Firstly, my names actually Kayley, not Vera. Yeah, I know they're nothing a like so you're probably wondering why my blog is called 'BabblingOnVera'. Well it's been something my friends have called me as a joke for a few years and it's just kind of stuck. I thought about calling it 'BabblingOnKay' but it doesn't really work as well does it?
 I'm 16, just finishing school and I have a few months off to do absolutely anything I want. I don't have a job at the moment and so I thought this would be the perfect time to take up blogging. You'll soon find out I have a lot to say and I want to share my thoughts, ideas and opinions with anyone that is willing to listen. I'll be doing a lot of fashion related posts like some outfits of the day and a few hauls. I'll also be posting beauty product reviews and advice for teenagers too. This is just going to be a typical girly blog.

 This is a pretty pointless post I guess, I just thought it would be good to introduce myself and my blog. So if anyone is reading this and has any ideas for posts or any tips to help me please feel free to leave a comment, I need all the help I can get!

Love Vera aka Kayley x
