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 ;)
