Summer Fashion Inspo: Tops and Tshirts

Disclaimer: I'm in no way sponsored by any of these brands these are just tops I really love and I will wear for the summer months be it out and about, to a festival, the beach etc. 

Hey dolls,

So today's blog is a little different it consists of me 'modelling'. I emphasise the inverted comas. I, in no way, think I'm a model or anything but I thought it would be a fun blog to do. Big shoutout to my boyfriend who I made take these pictures over and over. 

Today my main focus are summer tops that you can throw over jeans and heels/flats. I picked up heels from Penneys today that I had been looking at for a while. I got a gift voucher for my birthday, a wonderful present because what girl doesn't shop in Penneys?! So I used the voucher to pay for the heels they were €22. They are a bargain as they look designer. 

So in these pictures I just kept those heels on and teamed them with my Vero Moda jeans. I bought my jeans at the start of the week - they are €24.95 - so comfy and they fit very well. I rarely wear denim colour as I find it hard to find a pair that flatter all my bits but these are perfect. I have them in black as well. 

Most of these tops have been bought within the last month or the last few days so hopefully if you're interested in any of these then you can find them in the mentioned shops.  

The first top is from Penneys:

You can get this one in a lot of colours. I have about four different colours/patterns in this style. I love it. It's so flowy, light, ideal for summer. You can dress it up or down. You can wear it fully off the shoulders or you can have a little strap that sits on the shoulder. It was only about €8 I think. I can't remember but if not it wasn't more than €12. 

The next top is from New Look:

It's just a casually little flowy tank top but it sits nicely. It has a cris-cross strap at the back. It was €7.99 and you can get it in white; purple; blue; black and one or two more colours. It would be gorgeous to throw a cardigan over it or wear it on a night out with jeans like I have or with a skirt. 

This cute little top is from Fat Face:

It has buttons down the front and a little tie at the bottom. Its very pretty and it reminds me of 60s fashion with the little ties at the end. It's a lovely fit and it would go with jeans, shorts and skirts. It's ideal for the summer. It is about €33.50. 

The next top is from good ole Penneys again:

I picked this up on Tuesday. I love the design and colour. It has a lovely shape to it. The back straps are crochet lace it really adds to it. It's a little stretchy at the top and goes into a round next. It was €8 and an absolutely gorgeous top for the summer. There are so many colours in this top so you could match it up to a lot of colours. 

The next top is from fat face too:

It's very comfy, longer at the back than the front which appeals to a lot of people and light material. It comes in three colours. It's a perfect top for the summer - your skin can breath it in very well during hot weather. The back of it is gorgeous it is strong tied it's very summery. It's priced at €33.50 

   

The next top is also from Fat Face:

I couldn't find it today to take a picture but I took this picture on my birthday day out. It's the same lemon colour as the one before but the style is more fitted. I'm mad about this one. It has a round neck that ties at the back. I have it tucked in but it's lovely when it's loose as well. Beautiful for the summer. It's priced at €33.50.

Hope you enjoyed my little fashion blog. Thanks for reading and hopefully you might get some inspiration. :)

Until next time beauties,

November Haul

Hi beauties,

So I was half way through my detailed post about my Haul and it didn't save so second time lucky I hope. So Im excited to share all the bits I got over the last week. 

I hadn't been home in so long so I had a few days off so I headed down. One of the days, myself and my lovely Mam had a fab girlie day out. We got our hair done, got lunch, coffee, and of course browsed the shops a bit. 

I did end up a few Christmas presents for family and friends but I also I treated myself. The first item I'll talk about is the Real Techniques Blush Brush (try saying that fast 5 times ha).

Over the last year and a bit my RT brush and other brush collection has been growing. So my lastest addition is the Blush Brush that I picked up at half price so I couldn't leave it there!

(Excuse the chipped nail polish)

I love the RT brushes by sisters Sam and Nic Chapman. They are amazing quality and do exactly what you want even better. I have been using the brush since Tuesday and I can honestly say I'm already loving everything about it. The fibres are so soft, contouring the hollows of my cheeks is a breeze but it's also flexible enough that you can pop on blush the way you want. Huge props to this brush but unsurprisingly this brush is absolutely top quality just like the others.

The next item I am absolutely crazy about. I have tried out so many brands of eyelashes at this stage. From Eylure to Penneys and I really liked the range especially the girls aloud Eylure range but I came across Ardell Lashes while out with fellow blogger and bestie Linda (Beauty-La-Linda.blogspot.ie) she was looking for a pair of lashes for a night out and spotted these in boots. They were the Demi Whispy Lashes and I loved them from first looking at them. They are beautifully natural and the curly is absolutely gorgeous.

I will of course use Eylure and Penneys lashes as they were always my go to lashes. I love the thought of lash extensions and the Ardell lashes look exactly like the ones I've seen on friends but only at the price of €7.35.

The next item is a foundation I have heard so much about this from bloggers and magazines: L'oreal True Match Foundation. I'm only after getting around to buying it and I don't know how I exactly feel about this foundation yet as I've only been using it since Saturday. So far I love the light weight feel of the foundation and it matches my skin tone perfectly which is the best aspect. It doesn't have the strongest coverage or staying power. Saying that, when I buy a new foundation I always like to give it a proper run so I'll use it for the next week or two and then see how I really feel about it. 

The next bits are smaller items: I got bits from one of my favourite skincare: Sheisado. I bought a lot from the range and I got given samples of things I've used before which I'm over the moon with as I'm running out. 

The NYX range is absolutely amazing and I'm delighted it has come to Ireland more. Anytime it does, things seem to sell out in a flash so I was lucky to pop in and see the butter glosses stocked up. So I had to buy one. I got the colour maple blonde. It has a gorgeous strong pigmentation, slightly sticky but if used with Vaseline it is perfect. 

I picked up a gosh lags strengthener at half price so I will be using that for the next few weeks and see if there's any difference. 

I have seen the Karona tan range talked about on So Sue Me 's blog and I saw the Karona CC Cream with 20% off and thought to myself I must pick it up. So I have yet to try it out. I will on Saturday night to go along with my tan. I'm excited to use this as the Karona tan range is hugely praised.

I think that's enough for one night but I will be keeping you updated on bits I have yet to try out or try more of. Look out for my blog post tomorrow all about my favourite tans and tricks and tips I've picked up for the perfect tan. 

Thanks for reading! 

Until next time beauties,

Crazy Times

Hi lovelies,

I'm determined to get back into my blog. I update my Facebook, Instagram etc regularly but I haven't sat down and written reviews, favourites for a while. 

Work and college have been my main focus for the last while but surely I can fit in my blog which I love doing as it's anything beauty related. 

So I'm going to set myself some targets this week to get back into it. 

Monday will be all about a haul and review of bits I bought over the weekend. Looking forward to discussing things. 

  

Tuesday will be about my favourite tans and little tricks for the perfect tan. 

Wednesday will be about my favourite nailpolishes for autumn/winter. Also a catch up of previous hauls. 

Thursday I'll discuss all about contouring and highlighting.

Friday I will be doing an easy everyday makeup look that you could do in 10/15 minutes. I love looks like that especially in the mornings because who doesn't love a few minutes extra in bed!

So that's it for now but stay tuned for the week because I'm really looking forward to getting back into my blog. 

Until next time beauties,

Catch Up

Hi guys and dolls,

I'm so sorry about the lack of blogs and reviews. I've been up the walls with college, societies, dance class & catching up with friends but I've been sick for a few days and now on antibiotics so that kinda set me back with doing make up looks and bits etc.

But I promise starting Monday the blogs will be flowing. I have lots to review from 'My Haul', my 'Go To Products' and lots of make up looks to show everyone. I've been updating my Instagram daily: wonderstruckbeauty8 and my Facebook page : Wonderstruck-Beauty - links are at the right hand side of the blog :)

But I will show you a few bits I bought today  - I picked up some clothes which I will eventually do a blog on (college style, autumn wear etc). I'll focus on my beauty bits today.

• I got my reliable "Wake Me Up" Rimmel concealer/highlighter in Ivory 010 and the new Rimmel Mascara with Argan Oil. I got a great deal - the concealer was E6.99 and the E9.99 on their own but there was an offer for 2 for E12, sure I couldnt say no to that in Boots.

• I saw a All-Purpose Brush for the Beter cosmetic range. I'm building up my brush collection slowly but surely and this was a must.

•  Anytime I see an Essence stand I am always drawn to picking up one item or looking for new ones. I need a new eyeliner so I spotted the 2 in 1 eyeliner pen - a thick and thin side. I've tried it out and it is absolutely fab - great to have an option of a thin or thick line.

• I always find a heat protection spray essential - my own one has run out recently so I had to pick up a new one and I find the V05 range brilliant and the smell is amazing.

• The next item I saw was tea tree deep cleansing nose pore strips. I love pore strips when I'm having a pamper night and at E1.99 I couldn't turn them down

• I picked up a gorgoues Sleek Make Up Lipstick in the colour "Baby Doll" 771, a baby pink colour. It may be Autumn - even though the weather has been roasting the last while, it doesn't seem to know its the Autumn season yet - I love a pop of pink in my wardrobe

• The next item I got were Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes. I like to use these wipes on my face before doing my cleansing routine in the morning and night as I feel it softens the make up a lot and I will have no residue after cleansing my face.

• Last little bits are very random - a Lily O' Brien chocolate and jelly beans - something for my sweet tooth.

Well thats it for now - but look out next week for my posts and getting back into my blogging routine. I hope everyone has had a great september and has settled back into school or college or teaching whatever it may be.

Until next time beauties,
