#4 High End vs High Street - #2014BloggerChallenge

I've been thinking and thinking about what I could do for this post eventually meaning I missed the set deadline, however I can't miss a post in the challenge without it getting on my nerves so this is probably very improvised but I am writing it and that's what counts. I'm really sorry!

Originally I was thinking of doing a post of High End makeup vs High Street makeup, however the only high end makeup I own is MAC and after recently finding out that they now test on animals I didn't think it right.
I then thought some more and thought of doing a post on clothes, but I do not own any high end clothes apart from one or two Topshop pieces, and I don't count this brand really as high end so I was once again stuck!
Eventually I went back and looked at the email and it said 'wishlist' so it lead me to write a wishlist post.

Before I start I want to say these are all really random because there's nothing in particular I want (apart from the straighteners which will come up first!!)

I really want these bad boy straighteners! As some of you may know (most of you probably don't) I have the curliest hair known to man and it is a pain to straighten, but the other day after repeatedly saying she wanted to get my hair completely straight my friend straightened it using these straighteners. It's safe to say these are miracle workers and I was proved very wrong after these were used on my hair. It surprised me and I knew then I needed to get them (fingers crossed soon) as my old straighteners are broken, sigh.
These are the Ozon Titanium Flat Iron. These are retailed around the £40 mark I believe.


Next up is that top that featured in my Christmas wishlist. I won't talk about this in depth again however it's just so beautiful I had to include it again and advise you that if you have the money for this beautiful top go and buy it!!!! (Maybe buy me one whilst you're at it?? No? Oh ok.)

Last but not least and the most important of all ... I would like a dinosaur! So yeah, if anyone happens to come across one for a bargain price let me know.









Once again I'm really sorry this is nearly a week late but I did struggle a lot!!- better late than never. I hope you enjoyed it anyway and I would love to know your favourite high street or high end products.

#3 Once Upon A Time - #2014bloggerchallenge

I have been slacking with blogging lately so I was glad as we neared the dates for this post to come up! I promise I will be blogging something other than a post from this challenge soon, I have a January Favourites post coming up which should be up in the next few days, so look out for that as I haven't done one since August and I have quite a few favourites for you.

Anyway on with this post. We were asked to do a book review type post and there were a few books I had to choose from but I thought they were all quite generic and most bloggers will write about them; not that this book is any less generic! Or that they were all boring.
My first choice was Looking for Alaska but I read that ages ago and didn't really know what to write for it so then I thought because my blogs quite beauty and fashioney (is that a word? Well it is now.) I should go for a blog along those lines, so I chose Alexa Chung's, It book. I know pretty much every blogger has blogged about this book but I got it for Christmas and never got round to sharing my opinions so I thought this was also a great opportunity.

Alexa Chung: IT.

I don't know what type of book I can call this because it's half a biography as well as just as a general fashion book. Anyway, I really loved it because of how it's layed out. It's not just continuous writing it is split up between pictures and drawings Chung has done herself.

This book is perfect for any teenage girl or anyone really because it gives you style inspiration and it has a few how to's etc.

I really love this book and could read it 5 times in one day, although I really wish there was just a little bit more to it, more pictures, more drawings and more writing and I would love it even more than I already do. I especially like the 'How to survive a festival' part.

I can't wait to see if Chung has anything else lined up for us because I would really love to see more from her.

I already have a few other fashion book purchases lined up after seeing the heaps of Vogue Fashion Designers books in Waterstones. I'm really hoping they still have these because they looked brilliant when I flicked through them in the shop. If not I'm going on the hunt for something similar.

I really hoped you liked this post. I'm sorry it's so short but I didn't really know what else to write about the book without either quoting the best parts which I want you to read for yourself or just repeating myself a million times.

Hopefully I will get my January Favourites post up soon because it has been so long but in the meanwhile you have this little post to keep you all happy. I am going to try and get back on the blogging bandwagon because I have been so terrible since this year started so keep checking back for more posts of subscribe to my posts down the left hand side of my page!
