Celebirty Style: Taylor Swift

I am bringing back my celebrity style posts as I really enjoy doing them. For those not familiar with these posts, I find a celebrities outfit that I like and try to recreate it with items that are under £50. I have decided that instead of trying to copy the outfits exactly I will find items that are similar and items that I think would work together.

Today I am going to be recreating an outfit worn by Taylor Swift which you can see here. I love Taylor Swift and she always looks so lovely. I thought this outfit would be very good for spring as I love mint green. I found two dresses that I really liked and couldn’t decide which one to pick so I am going to be showing both and sharing two outfits instead of one. 

Outfit 1

Dress- Zack House of Fraser £13.20 

Necklace- Lipsy ASOS £14

Shoes- Zalando £49

Bag- ASOS £15

Sunglasses- Tesco £5

Total- £96.20

Outfit 2

Dress- Yumi House of Fraser £40

Necklace- New Look £5.99

Shoes- Dune £17

Bag- Very £18.75

Sunglasses- Next £10

Total- £91.74

Celebrity Style: Emma Watson

Today I bring you another Celebrity Style post. For those of you unfamiliar with these posts, each week I will pick a celebrity (I also take requests) and find a picture of an outfit that I like and would want to recreate. I then search the website and find similar pieces to the original outfit. I try to pick out items that are affordable so for the most part all the items I share with you will be below £50. If you have any requests for celebrities then you can either leave them in the comments or email me at prettylittlefashionista@hotmail.com  

Today I have chosen Emma Watson. Emma is a celebrity I find truly inspirational not only is she a great actress she does a lot of charity work and her speech at the United Nations was amazing. The outfit I have chosen is this one. I like to share casual outfits as they are the ones that people are likely to wear as much as we would all love to wear some of the dresses that celebrities wear on the red carpet they are a little too much for 'everyday' live. I really liked this outfit as it is something that I would happily wear. As the picture doesn't show her top I picked a blouse that I thought would go really well with the outfit. 

Top- Matalan £12

Coat- ASOS £48 

Jeans- Boohoo £20 

Bag- River Island £50

Boots- House of Fraser £30

Scarf- House of Fraser £20 

Outfit Total: £180 

I know this outfit is quite expensive but it has a lot of staple pieces which you could wear with lots of different outfits such as the coat, boots and bag which would go with a lot of different outfits. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and if you have any celebrity requests then let me know.

Wishlist #13 Fashion

Today I thought I would share with you my fashion wishlist. Looking through my wardrobe I don't have many autumn/ winter pieces so I have been browsing different clothing retailers to find some pieces and I thought I would share with you my favourites.

The first item is a dress from H&M. I really like the colour and I think it would look really nice with some thick tights and boots. I really like the style as it suits my body shape. I really like wearing dresses but I find that a lot of them don't have sleeves so to find one that has three quarter length sleeves is really good. This dress is very affordable at only £14.99.

The next dress is from New Look and it is a black skater dress with a crochet collar. Again I really like this style of dress and I already own a couple from New Look in this style just in different colours. I really like the look of the black with the white collar and it is only £17.99.

Next we have the black and white striped jumper from H&M. I love anything with stripes and I'd say that 80% of my wardrobe is stripes. This is a fine knit which I really like as my flat is quite warm so I don't want to wear anything that is too thick. Again it is very affordable at only £12.99.

The other stripy top is also from H&M most of the stripy clothes I own is either black and white or blue and white so this is something a bit different; blue and brown. I really like that this is a long sleeved top as I don't have many long sleeved tops. This is a very good basic item and it is only £7.99.

The last item is a jumper from New Look. I really like the slogan on  this jumper 'Nothing To Wear' as it is something I say a lot. I think it would be very good for casual days. Plus it is only £14.99.

What's on your wishlist?

Celebrity Style: Chloe Grace Mortez

Today I thought I would bring back my Celebrity Style posts. I used to really enjoy doing these so I thought I would start doing them again. For those of you unfamiliar with these posts, each week I will pick a celebrity (I also take requests) and find a picture of an outfit that I like and would want to recreate. I then search the website and find similar pieces to the original outfit. I try to pick out items that are affordable so for the most part all the items I share with you will be below £50. If you have any requests for celebrities then you can either leave them in the comments or email me at prettylittlefashionista@hotmail.com  

I really like Chloe Grace Mortez, I thought she was brilliant in Kick Ass. I also really like her style in the past couple of years she has become more and more of a style icon. I found this outfit here  which I really like as it is simple and I think it could be worn by pretty much anyone. Also I am a massive fan of stripes I'd say 70% of my wardrobe is stripes because I am obsessed with them. 

Shoes- River Island £45 

Top- Dorothy Perkins £5

Skirt- H&M £7

Bag-Boohoo £15 

Outfit Total: £72

Collective Haul- A Few Bargains

Today I want to share with you some of my recent purchases. I have been relatively good recently and haven't bought too much as I am trying to save money for next year but a few things were really good value for money that I couldn't not buy them.

The first 2 items I got from Topshop. I don't very often go into Topshop as I find their things to be too expensive but I managed to find these 2 bargains in the sale. My friend at school was telling me about her new purse which had a space for her phone in as well as a card and note section. She told me she picked it up in Topshop for £3 so I went to my local Topshop as I really liked the style and thought it would be good for nights out. I got the black one with gold studs as I felt that this would go with most outfits. I also picked up another purse which was also only £3 and it is a gorgeous gold colour. It has a lot of space inside for card and money so I was really pleased with this bargain. 

I went into TK Maxx to have a look at the beauty section. I don't often find anything that I want to buy but this time I found a few things that caught my eye. The Bellapierre Travel Essentials Kit was to good a bargain to miss. The RRP is £49.99 but I got it for only £9.99. It comes with a eyeliner, mascara, lipstick and an eyeshadow trio which is absolutely stunning. 

I also saw the Percy & Reed set which was only £9.99 I haven't tried many products from the brand but I have heard good things about their products. I thought that this was a good way of trying a range of their  products without spending too much money. 

The last thing I got from TK Maxx was from the Scottish Fine Soaps Company a brand I have never heard of. I picked up the body milk not because I needed one but because I thought the packaging was so unique and at just £3.99 I thought it was worth a try. 

The last 2 items I got were from H&M, I really like H&M clothing they have some great bargains available. I picked up these 2 stripy tops in the sale. I am a massive fan of stripes and these shirts were so affordable one was £5 and the other was £7. I will wear these so much as they are really comfortable and I love the pattern.

Weekend Wishlist #10 Fashion Edition

So this week I thought I would share some fashion items that are on my wishlist. I saw this bird print top on the New Look website and I thought it was so cute. I love bird prints like this and I thought the style of the top would be good for when the weather gets warmer. Whilst on the New Look website I saw this Little Miss Sunshine Jumper and I really like it. I love to wear jumpers and leggings that is my go to outfit as they are so comfy and this jumper is so cute. I saw this cute rabbit bag on someone's blog and I thought it was so cute. I love this bag as it isn't too big and would be great for a night out and it is just so cute. It's from ASOS which is a place that I have never ordered from but they have some nice things on their website and I can get a 10% student discount. My last item is from Topshop and it is this cool Coke jumper, I love the colour of this and I am a massive lover of Coke so this is perfect for me. The only downside is that it is £30 which is quite expensive so I'll have to hope that it gets discounted at some point. 

What's on your wishlist at the moment?

Primark Haul December 2013

Today I thought I would share with you what I recently got from Primark. A lot of the stuff that I bought was in the sale so I'm not sure if you'll still be able to get this stuff.

The first thing I got was this rose gold double cross ring. I love rose gold jewellery but because I have quite small fingers I don't buy many rings as often even the small ones are too big but because this is adjustable and only 50p I thought I would give it a try. I really like this ring and I have worn it a lot.

Next up are 2 pairs of jeans. One pair is a light grey pair and the other pair is black and whit stripes. Both these jeans were £3 each and they are the most softest and comfiest jeans that I have ever worn. I really like them and they were such a bargain I might have to check out some of their other jeans as these are amazing.  

I then got this gorgeous navy blue skirt that has a lovely pattern on it. As you can see from the above picture the pattern is done in a lighter shade of blue. This skirt is a skater skirt and has an elasticated waist it is really pretty and looks great with black nights. I think this skirt is so universal as you can dress it up or wear it more casually.  

I bought this really nice dress for £5. Primark had tones of these skater dresses in lots of different styles. The shape of this dress is really flattering and it can be styled in many different ways. I have worn this to school and I have also worn it out by just adding a gold belt and some sparkly accessories and this basic item can be completely changed. I am going to go back for some more as I really love the style and I love that they have sleeves as a lot of dresses don't which makes them very impractical at this time of year. 

My last 2 items are crop tops that were £2 each. I bought these to wear with my high waisted disco pants which I got from New Look. I love any type of leggings as they are so comfortable and I have worn my disco pants so much. These 2 crop tops look amazing with them. I love the colour of the burgundy one and the second one is really simple but really cute.

As you can see I got quite a few bargains here, let me know what you have bought recently from Primark.

Haul November 2013

Recently I have bought quite a few things and I want to share with you what I have been buying recently.

So I have bought quite a few things in Poundland recently. I picked up a Revlon Nail Polish in the shade Sweet Tart which is a bright pink. I love this colour and it was in my October Favourites. I am a massive fan of pink nail polishes and this one is perfect. Next I picked up an eyeshadow from the brand NKDSKN which I have never heard of. I tried to do some research on this brand but I struggled to find anything. I picked up this eyeshadow in the shade Cinnamon because it looked so pretty. I picked up a nail polish from Famous which I have tried a few things from before. I saw this nail polish Scarlet Sparkle and it looked like the perfect colour for Christmas so I knew I had to have it. I picked up some more Calvin Klein Cream Eyeshadows, in another haul I showed you Bare Silk which I really liked so I picked up 2 other shades. I got Snakeskin Silver and Cashmere Plum and so far I really like them. On another trip to Poundland I picked up 2 nail polishes. I picked up the Maybelline Forever Strong Polish in Ceramic Blue which is a beautiful pastel blue. The other polish I got was an OPI Shatter in Pink Shatter I already own quite a few of these as they were in Poundland a few months ago and I picked them up.   

In Superdrug I picked up the Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil as my MUA one was running a bit low. I really like this eyebrow pencil as it lasts all day and the colour is really good. I also picked up the Maybelline MNY nail polish in 261. I think I got this in somewhere random  like British Heart Foundation for 99p. MNY is a range that was bought out by Maybelline for teenagers but I think it has been discontinued as I have seen it in Poundland. I love pink polishes and this one is gorgeous. I got a Rimmel Lasting Finish lipstick in Sweetie for 89p. Which was a complete bargain I think they'd labelled it wrong though as the other lipsticks that had been reduced from the same range were £4.89 however I am not complaining this is a gorgeous colour and I will wear it lots.  

I got these 2 pieces from Ebay. I have been wanting some nail dotting tools for the longest time and I finally bought some. I got them from here they were only £2.49 with free delivery. I have been loving experimenting with them as you will see in upcoming posts. I also got a Yankee Candle Sampler in Fireside Treats which smells amazing. I always buy the samplers to try the scent out before I buy and big jar.  

A few weeks ago Tesco had a 3 for 2 offer on Clean and Clear. I needed a new face wash which was £4 so it made sense to pick up some other products as well. I got the Morning Energy Daily Facial Scrub I had the face wash of this which I really liked so I thought I would give it a try. I got the Advantage Clear & Soother Foaming Wash which I quite like. Lastly I picked up the Advantage Spot Treatment Gel as my skin has been a nightmare recently and this has helped reduce my spots.

I got this burgundy Geek jumper from Ebay and I love it. I have worn this jumper so much recently I usually wear jumpers as tops and I often wear them with leggings or disco pants. The only problem I have with it is that I got it in a medium but I'd say it is quite small for a medium so I'd recommend getting a larger than you normally would as they seem to come up small. 

Lastly I have seen this bag on so many blogs over the last year and now I finally own one. I love this bag it is the perfect size not too small or too big. I can fit everything I need in it.It is so cute and it comes in loads of different colours, I think I may get another one because I love it so much. You can get one from here.

Autumn Outfit Idea #1

Autumn Outfit 

Top from H & M 
£7.99

Jeans from Boohoo
£20

Boots from ASOS
£40 

Bag from John Lewis
£35

Earrings from ASOS
£6

Bangle from Debenhams
£10

Scarf from Jules B
£34.97

This is a simple outfit that I created that would be suitable for this autumn. The white top is a good basic and you will be able to create a lot of outfits with it. Pair it with some darker navy jeans and some black ankle boots and you have a cute simple outfit. Then to jazz it up add some accessories I think orange is a great colour for autumn and as it gets colder a scarf will come in handy. The bangle and earrings just add a finishing touch to the outfit. Every outfit needs a bag and I love this one it will go with so many outfits. If it is really cold I would pair this outfit with a grey coat. 

I hope you enjoyed this outfit idea. I plan to do more of these so if you have any requests/ suggestions then let me know. 

Also I know I haven't blogged a lot recently this is because I have had a lot of school work to do and obviously that always comes first but I am going to try and schedule some posts and it is half term next week so I'll hopefully be able to post more.

Summer Essentials Fashion Edition

So I've already shared with you my makeup and beauty summer essentials and today I thought I would share with you my fashion summer essentials.

Now this dress summarises 2 of the things that I love about summer. I love wearing cute dresses in the summer ones that flow and either have a pretty colour or a lovely floral pattern. The second thing that I love about this dress is the colour. I love mint green I am obsessed with the colour. If there is something that is mint green then I have to have it. This dress was actually a charity shop find it was from Topshop originally and when I bought it, it still had the tags on it so it was as good as new. The best part about it was that it was a bargain at £5. 

The next summer must have is sandals. I love wearing sandals as I am able to show off my painted toe nails which always have a bright colour on during the summer. I own many sandals and this picture just shows a couple of the ones I own. I have a peach pair which is from Tesco I love the design of the straps and they were only £3 as I got them at the end of summer last year. They did many colours of them and I also have a sparkly gold pair. I have noticed that they have some similar ones in this year. The other pair are a sort of gladiator with a beautiful peacock style feather on them. I have a gorgeous blue maxi dress that I love wearing them with. I got them from Peacocks a couple of years ago. 

The next thing I love is this mint green satchel style bag that was a birthday gift from my sister. I love the style and the colour of this bag. I also love the pink edging it has around it. The lining of the bag is also really pretty it has a cute floral design. In the summer I prefer to carry a smaller bag and although this is quite small it can fit a lot in it. 

I am not a massive jewellery wearer but I do have a few bits that I love to wear during the summer. I love rose gold and I think it is a perfect colour for the summer. I have my Lipsy charm bracelet which I love. It is a bit like a Pandora bracelet but you buy it like it is with all the charms on it. I got this as a Christmas present one year and I love it. The rose gold bracelet is from Primark and I think it was £1.50. I love the style of it  and I think it looks gorgeous. The spike necklace is from Dorothy Perkins I love their jewellery and they always have amazing bargains in the sale. My earrings where a gift from my friends I love the colour and I think the flower design is perfect for summer. Lastly is my watch, I actually wear this watch all year round but I think it is perfect for the summer it is from New Look who stock some amazing watches. 

Lastly are my sunglasses. I wear prescription glasses which meant I had to get some prescription sunglasses to protect my eyes. I bought these to go to Iceland to protect my eyes from the glare. I really like these which are from Red and Dead but I got them in Specsavers. I really like the shape of these as I find a lot of sunglasses are too big and don't suit my face shape but I really like these.

What are your summer must haves?

Ps I am on Bloglovin and I would love if you would follow my blog on there, the link is below or in the sidebar. Thank you for reading and supporting my blog.

Summer Outfit #1

I wanted to start a new series on my blog, in which each week I will share an outfit with you that I think would be perfect for summer. Hopefully this may help or inspire you with ideas for summer outfits. I will make sure that the items a purse friendly and everything that I show will be under £50. 

So this is my first outfit, a perfect item for summer is a pair of coloured shorts. I only have a few pairs of coloured shorts as I'm quite picky about the style of them, but I really like these ones from H&M and they are really cheap too. I chose to pair it with a simple vest top and a few pretty accessories. 

Shorts: H&M £7.99 

Vest: New Look £4.99 

Shoes: Dorothy Perkins £13

Bag: Accessorize £37

Necklace: ASOS £8

Bracelets: Evans £12.50

Outfit Total: £83.48

That may seem a lot but you will can use each of these pieces to make new outfits as most of the items are quite basic. I love the bag and I think it will go with a lot of outfits and £37 is quite cheap for a bag which is quite spacious and looks amazing.

I hope you liked this outfit and I hope you like this new idea for a series.

Liebster Award #4

I was nominated for the Liebster Award by El at ElDeliciaMUA. I have already been nominated for this before so I won't be nominating anyone new but I thought I would still answer the questions. 

1. If you could only use 3 make up items what would they be?

I would chose mascara as I love how it makes my lashes look, concealer so I could cover any blemishes and lipstick so that I could add a bit of colour to my look.  

2. Name one positive impact blogging has had on your life.

I have met some great people through blogging and I have made quite a few friends.

3. What celebrity is the most inspirational to you?

If we are talking about fashion then I would have to say Ashley Benson as I love pretty much everything that she wears. But more generally I think it would have to be Mila Kunis as I thing she is an amazing actress and her style and makeup always looks amazing. She seems like quite a friendly and natural person

4. What social media site do you promote your blog on the most?

I use Twitter quite a lot I always post about my new posts on their. You can follow me on Twitter here. I also use my Facebook page to post about new posts. Here is the link to my Facebook page I always update it with new posts.

5. What is your skin care routine?

I use a face wash, cleanser and toner and moisturiser in the morning. At night I use a hot cloth cleanser, toner and moisturiser. Here is a link to my skincare routine post (I noticed that this is slightly out of date so I will do an update soon)

6. Do you follow trends or prefer timeless pieces?

I always try to follow fashion trend but they change so quickly that it becomes hard to keep up. I like to have some timeless pieces that I can wear all the time without having to worry about them being out of date.

7. What are your favourite make up brushes?

I love the Real Techniques brushes although I have one MUA brush that I really love I need to try some of the others though. I love the Buffing Brush and the Contour Brush from Real Techniques they are probably my favourite brushes.

8. What is the best advice you have ever gotten? 

Always do what you want to do rather than what other people tell you to do. This was said at a meeting at school when we chose our GCSE options and  I think that this is great advice.

9. What would you like to learn the most, such as language or a make up technique etc and why?

I really want to be a makeup artist when I’m older so I’d love to learn how to apply makeup properly. I pretty much taught myself how to do it so I’m sure I’m not doing it right. I would love to learn the proper techniques.  

10. Colours or neutrals?

I love neutral eyeshadows  that’s all I ever wear but I love to wear colour on my lips and nails.

11. Where would you like to be in 5 years time?

I would like to have done a makeup course and have a job working within the beauty industry.

I hope you enjoyed reading my answers. I want to thank El for nominating me and I hope you all had a good weekend.
