Hi there chickies!

I'm sure most of you will highly agree that winter has arrived, and i'm not enjoying the bitter coldness one bit! Having said that, most of the christmas decorations are up in my house and christmas is the only thing on my mind! I've been searching high and low for the perfect knitted garment to keep cosy for the frosty season, and lets be honest, every girl needs one. Heres a few favourites of mine that i've specially picked out, although if it were my way and I had all the money in the world I would already own 93827495922.

Jumper from H&M.

I saw this beauty whilst out shopping last week but unfortunately didn't have enough money on me, *cry* however, i'm one of them people that struggles to have the patience to save up and I was desperate to come home from shopping having purchased something, so I instead brought another jumper from H&M which is showcased near the end of the blog!

Jumper from River Island.

This pattern feels so festive to me and gorgeous. A smidge pricier for £35.00 but in my opinion, it looks pretty worth it.

Cardigan from New Look.

I'm besotted with this pattern on knitted items and the dark wine red colour is to die for and perfect for winter. At £27.99 I reckon its a pretty decent price compared to similar garments from places like topshop, and im definitely going to put my patience to the test for this because I love it!

Not the best photography, I blame both the camera and my lack of photography skills! Anyways, I'm wearing a jumper from H&M at £15.00, high waisted shorts from New Look at £15.00 and opaque tights from little old M&S! The outfits not really accessorized but i'm obsessed with wearing this jumper! Its beyond comfortable and still pretty despite it being plain.

And to finish off this blogpost, please would you go and take a look at totalfashionjunkie.blogspot.com?! Amy, the owner, recently moved there from ismellfashion.blogspot.com and her blogposts are amazing!

Hope you all have a very merry Christmas!

Lots of love,

the blonde one.

Some new bits, bobs and shobs.

Hey guys!

Sincere apologies for not blogging in foreverrrrr, one of the reasons for not blogging is because me and Holly have just started year 10, which means GCSES's, yaaaay. and the amount of homework and coursework were doing at the moment is insane, I can't say this school years gunna be fun! If your still in school then comment your options, would be great to know what you guys have picked for your options!

I havn't been clothes shopping in a while, and I gotta admitt this is more of a beauty blog. I have got a few bits i'd like to share with you guys though. Before I give you my beauty reviews though, I HAVE to show you the dollybowbow necklaces me and Holly brought recently.

Friendship necklaces - £12 for both from Dollybowbow. (amazing online shop!)

I've bragged about these necklaces and the website their from in a few blogposts, and I absolutely love mine! Unfortunately the first set of necklaces got lost in the post which was annoying, but the lovely owner was kind enough to send another pair to us. thanks! We also recieved them in an adorable package, and each necklace came in a little pink bag, too sweet! If you havn't already heard of dollybowbow, I strongly suggest you check it out - the jewelery they sell is gorgeous and the prices are quite reasonable, goooo!

Face mask - £5.50 from Lush cosmetics.

Lush is one of my favourite skin care shops ever, and if you read our blog regularly you'll know i'm a huge body shop fan already. But whilst I was out with some friends I couldn't resist taking a quick look in the shop. The people there are so friendly and helpful too, and I eventually ended up with this face mask! I've used this mask now around 5 times, and I think its made quite a nice improvement to my skin. Its also given it quite a nice glow too, although i'd say it only had one disadvantage. The product contains garlic and tea tree oil, and the smell is quite vile. I'd definately buy it again, but you do have to keep it on for five to ten minutes, and its not exactly the nicest smell. If you have a local Lush by you, have a sniff and you be the decider!

Barry M nail polish in mint green - £3 from superdrug and all good drug stores.

I also brought my very first barry m nail polish the other day, so obviously i'm quite chuffed! I got it in mint green, a colour i've been wanting for ages, and my collection will definately be growing quickly!

Bracelet - £5 from New Look.
This bracelet is absolutely beautiful and I reckon I got it at a pretty good price, can always count on new look for affordable, cute jewelery!

Me beautiful brouges! £15 from New Look.

Again, sorry for not blogging for ages and for shoving alot of random bits into the blog entry, please please please continue visiting buddingbeauties! Would also like to say a HUGE GOOD LUCK to holly, she leaves for blackpool on friday and the beauty pageant shes entered begins saturday; she also gets to go to the amazing pleasure beach theme park, so jel! If your not a regular reader, holly, my best friend who I own this blog with, has made it to the finals of miss teen great britain, you can visit her at http://www.missteengreatbritain.co.uk/ now!

*All my opinions are written from experience, so do not be startled if you have a different reaction to the products then i've had, were all different!

 

Held up so high, on such a breakable thread.

Hey bloggers,

Firstly I'd like to start my post with what I always start my posts with; an apology for not blogging for a while:-

sorry. :')

This week in London has had its ups and downs when it comes to weather; raining one day and sunny the next! Well, thank god it didn't rain yesterday as my sister, Emily held me a mini photoshoot in the garden and house for her photography project! The photos turned out great and I wish Emily all the luck in the world for her project.

This one is my favourite:-

Floral blouse: £10 from new look. (clearance)

High waisted shorts: £20 from new look.
Daisy headband: turkey!

Then Emily edited them, they turned out so cool!

This one is meant to portray confidence.

Also I hope everyone got the A level results they wanted! And even if not, there's always a plan b!

Best wishes,

<3

I got my own life and I bought everything thats in it...

Hey bloggers,

Sorry I haven't blogged in what seems like months now! I'm not sure why I haven't been blogging but its probably got something to do with how busy I've been lately!

Firstly, I would like to talk you guys through my outfit to prompty (if confused read cara's last post). 

My dress: £30 from Lipsy (SALE)

My necklace: Borrowed from Cara, from New Look.

I have been looking on loads of online stores lately and I've found so many cute things! Have a browse...

Shorts - £12.99 from New Look.

Shorts - £32.00 from Top Shop.

I love a good old pair of denim shorts, and I dwell on the idea of high waisted shorts, their so much more stylish and creative. Me and Cara have been looking round for these sort of high waisted shorts for ages and when we found the New Look pair, I think we both practically squealed inside! As much as I love them Top Shop ones, their waaaaay out of our price range. I'm imagining that this'll go well with a huge variety of different vest tops this summer! Speaking of summer, i'm literally praying these last few days that the summer holidays are actually going to be SUNNY, acknowledging the recent rainy days londons been having.

...Earrings, stay prim and pretty!

..

These are also from new look for £4.99 and if I were to get them I would be spoilt for choice on which ones to wear! One for each outfit! :) 

Also the big sales are on at the high street stores at the moment, guys! Sunglasses for £1 at newlook, which is fantastic as I completely prefer them to the £1 ones at primark. And you should also check out the topshop website cause the summer sale is now on!

PS: keep commenting and following guys, its always appreciated! Also, me and Cara will be sure to do an outfit post soon so keep watching, we've just been kinda broke lately. ;) gosh, clothes can be expensive!

Its too cold outside, for angels to fly.

Helloooo, fellow readers!

For those of you who are reading and attend school, your sure to be excited that the summer holidays are about to start, yaaaaaaaay! unfortunately for me, when the summer holidays are over i'm gunna be faced with completing GCSE's, so better make the most of this summer.

Me and Holly had our prompty on Monday, which was very exciting! Its something we do at our school, combining the words 'prom' and 'party' to form 'prompty', which acts as a pre-prom kinda thing. Its obviously not going to be a patch of the prom we'll have in Year 11, but still it was amazing!

My dress: £55.00 from Lipsy.

My shoes: £24.99 from New Look.


You can briefly see the bag I had in the first picture, which was £12.99 from New Look.

I'm also wearing a little necklace from Tiffanys, although I don't know the price as it was a gift last Christmas. I'm sure Holly will explain the details of her outfit in her next blog post! Anywho, the overall night was lots of fun, I was surprised at how much I danced, although I regretted it the next morning when I woke up with sore feet!

Heres a few bits and bobs I absolutely adore right now..

Dress - £48.00 from Topshop.

Bracelet - £6.99 from Newlook.

Earrings - £5.00 from Miss Selfridges.

Playsuits - £22.99 and £17.99 from New Look.

As you may have caught on by now, I LOOOOVEEEEE floral stuff! I just thought these few little bits were utterly gorgeous and cute, clothes can be so expensive these days though!

To finish off, i'd just like to bring up the bracelets that I wore and showed to you all in my previous blogpost, they were pearls and roses and I mentioned that i'd brought them from Wallis a while ago and was unsure on the price, but heyho, I managed to discover that New Look are also selling them!

These gorgeous bracelets are priced at £5.99, when I purchased these from Wallis they didn't come with the other bracelets, although I can assure these and the ones I own are identical!

Take care, and keep following buddingbeauties!

And the games you play, you always, always, win.

Hey there stranger!

Feels like its been ageeeeeeees. Me and Holly have been so busy lately with god knows what, and quite frankly i've felt like i've lost my blogging mojo lately! Perhaps its the fact that I havn't really brought much lately - its amazing how some beauty blog writters always have something to blog about, you guys must be rich!

Before I go any further, i'd like to congratulate Holly on making it to the finalists of Miss Teen Great Britain! The lucky devils gunna travel to Blackpool in September to participate in the finals, you can check out the website and see Holly for yourselves at www.missteengreatbritain.co.uk. Shes also managed to star in her local newspaper, and will soon be interviewed on the local radio and meet the mayor! So pleeeeeease support Holly as she goes through her little trek to becoming a model, we appreciate it!



Moving on, heres an outfit I kinda put together and I quite like it? Tell me what you think!

Ignore my hideous eye bags! I've seriously lacked in sleep lately.

Top - £10.99 from new look. (its now £6.00, can't believe I just missed out on a bargain!)

Bracelets - From Wallis, I got these a while back.

Shorts - Hollister!

So, yeah. I don't usually shop in Wallis but I saw these gorgeous bracelets in the shop and had to get them. (I'm a sucker for pearls!) unfortunately, I don't think they sell these bracelets anymore, and they came with two pearls and the rose bracelet but I lost one of the pearls. Clever.

John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum Finishing Spray Glossing Mist - £5.59 from Boots.

I was out with Holly a little while ago, and as i'm a huge fan of John Frieda already, I decided to buy this and try it out. I'm glad to say that i'm still sticking to my heating ban! so for the past couple of days i've just been using this, several sprays lightly covering my hair. I would agree that it does add a little bit of shine to my hair, and it kept it quite nice and un-frizzy. I wouldn't say it was one of their best products, but i'd probably buy this again as gives my natural hair a nice finish.

Sorry if the blog entry isn't fantastic today, but had to do an entry to let you guys know were still here! Keep commenting and following the blog, we always appreciate it! To end my entry, I want to show you a picture I captured of my kitten, Nala. Too cute!

Today I don't feel like doing anything, i just wanna lay in my bed!

ohiyaa cuties!

Gutted that half terms already over, it went faar too quick! Holly mentioned below that we went out the other day and grabbed a few goodies, whilst we were in superdrug we thought we'd grab a beauty card each, they have little mirrors on them! too bad were under 16, therefore their unavalible to us, sad times. So here are a few pictures of what we purchased, yeah my camera isn't the best so sorry if anything is abit dark!

Bracelets - £3.99 at New look.

I'm sucha gay, yes.

Floral Headwrap - £2.99 at New look. (buy one get one free on all hair accesories in newlook atm girlies!)

  John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Spray - £6.99 from Superdrug.

Floral skirt - £5.00 from Primark (ignore the next hanger!)

If you keep up to date with our blog, it'll only be a matter of time before you realise i'm a total sucker for floral things, and pearls, and just cute bits and bobs! I've only used my John Frieda Lightening Spray once so no difference yet, will write a review on it soon!

Hope your all well, take care guys.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song...

heey beautiful!

On the weekend me and Cara went out and bought ourselves some goodies. :) Sorry for the bad quality photo, was taken on my mobile!

-Floral Headwrap - from New Look. RRP: £2.99

John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Spray - from Superdrug. RRP: £6.99

Bracelets - from New look RRP: £3.99

Flower Hair Accessory - from New Look RRP: £1.99

How's everyone's half term been? It was my birthday on the Wednesday and a small meal at tinseltown american diner was just right for me! It was great fun but the bill came up to about £106.00. So I would recommend it as a one visit diner as the food was way overpriced and they automatically added a £10.00 service charge to the bill even though the service wasn't all that great either! But it was worth it in the end for me as I got to spend a couple of hours bonding time with some of my closest friends.

Also, on the Friday, me and Cara got to watch the Hangover: part II in Barnet Odeon cinema, it got us falling off our seats laughing!
