TGIF!

 Hello again,
Another week been and gone - thank god its the weekend! and I am super excited to be going to see Michael McIntyre tomorrow at the 02 - I love him! I also have so much work to do, my bedroom, college work and my UCAS deadline is in a month! ahh I havent even started - were has the time gone!!


outfit 1: Topshop Leigh jeans and primark blouse, I also wore my leopard print vectras but they're not in this pic! Also the same leather jacket and bag as always - they seem to be surgically attached to me recently!


Picture I posted of outfit on instagram! follow me @ jenastagram.


Outfit 2: more casual - leggings and an older river island checked shirt again with that jacket! I swear I don't wear it everyday!


outfit 3: was feeling rather happy this morning so opted for a dress! This is a newer one from Topshop, it got commented on alot today! It's a lovely print and is quite thick so good for winter! Also if you cn see I got a new phone case! a blue bunny ears case - been waiting weeks for it to arrive - it waas only £1.19 or something ridiculously cheap like that on ebay! 


And finally, my wallpaper has gone up! I've had it for weeks sitting around and its now up! I'm going to do a proper post once everything is sorted so keep a look out!

Thanks for reading, hope you had a good week!
XOXO

wednesday wishlist #5

Is it really Wednesday again?!
since starting back at college weeks are going so fast, but I'm managing to fit in my Blog posts, so all is well!


Described as a frosty light beige, I thought this would be the perfect leap into mac lipsticks, I've had mac products before (well one, the strobe liquid)  and loved it but never tried the lipsticks. I think this colour will be perfect for an everyday, daytime nude - I like it so much I've already ordered it! (is putting it in my wishlist cheating?!). cant wait for it to arrive!

when scrolling through the website as a diversion to homework (don't pretend you haven't done the same!) I spotted these and immediately fell in love! They are so nice, the perfect winter boot for me as I love studs! a little on the pricey side though...

WHAT.A.BARGAIN! This is a dupe of the caviare nails, and this is such a lovely colour mix! I want to try this so bad, I think it looks great and went to check if it was in my local superdrug today and it wasn't there, but they were restocking the shelves, so fingers crossed they're putting out the new products so I can get my hands on this!

4. H&M gloves £7.99
so, we cannot deny it any more - summer is over and the only thing slightly comforting is the fact I can pick up some winter essentials! like these gloves! They are a gorgeous coral colour with the cutest little bows by the wrist, I think they'll look great with my leather jacket which I literally live in in winter! I'm temped to order these along with this great tartan scarf I found (cheaper version from last weeks wishlist!). 

 last up this week is more of a necessity, my current purse I've had for over a year I think and it is literally falling apart at the bottom, the seam  has split, so I've been trying to find another one. I always look in river island for purses, they always have ones I love, but I've been a little disappointed lately and cant find one in any shop - however having a browse I spotted this one, which is great value for £10 and I think it looks really simple and sophisticated (if its not weird to call a purse sophisticated?!), so I think this may be the one to finally replace my old, worn out one!

neon winter and instagram!

Hello ladies!
Feels like ages since I last did a post but it was only Wednesday! Been busy, first week of college so been a bit sparse with posts!

Thought I'd show you my outfit today, the weather was vile! It was so cold and rainy! I think I'm going to need to get my winter wardrobe out early!


So its hard to tell on the picture, but the jumper is like a knitted light brown and neon yellow! I absolutely love it and got it recently in river island reduced to £20! I snatched it right up, perfect for winter! I paired it just with my leather jacket which I needed because its freezing and my Topshop Leigh jeans.



And wanted to show you two things I got in boots today in my free, I got a tangle teezer finally! As my hair is so easily knotty and falls out easily too, so I was recommended this to try, and may do a review on it soon! I also picked up this no 7 eye colour brush, I plan on use for my concealer.


Also extra news: I've joined instagram! follow me at 'jenastagram'.

Thanks for reading,
XOXO

WEDNESDAY WISHLIST #4

Hello again,
Last week I completely forgot what day it was so missed out on my Wednesday wishlist so this is number 4 I believe?! So here's a few bits I'm lusting over right now, wishing I had the funds for it all!



1.  Umberto Giannini back comb in a bottle £5.61 from Boots.
I saw this at  http://thebeautyoflouise.blogspot.co.uk/, she did a review and when I saw the pictures I just knew I had to try it! It's on my list to be picked up next time I'm in Boots, I'd seen it before and not thought much of it, but my hair is quite lifeless sometimes, and this may be the best solution to add volume without wrecking my roots!

2. Mac pro sculpting cream £17.50
Is basically a cream bronzer and it say it can also be used for contouring! my ideal product! I've never seen a cream bronzer before and love the idea as powder doesn't last long on my skin. I think it may be limited edition, so I'm eager to go pick this up asap!

3. Johnston's lambswool tartan scarf seen on ASOS £20
Now the weathers getting colder again (too soon) I'm looking into winter pieces and I love the look of this tartan scarf just with jeans and a top or a dress and coat! It'll go with everything. Although its quite expensive, in my opinion, for a scarf, I cant seem to find a cheaper one anywhere, so its a possibility I'll get this! If you've seen a cheaper one please let me know I love them!

4. Topshop mirror bunny jumper £46
Again, as its coming into winter, I started to look at jumpers and this one is so cute! what's better than one bunny on a jumper?  TWO! The grey/white colour is also great as it'll go with most things in my wardrobe!  I'm feeling all toasty just looking at it!

5. Models own hed kandi Balearic cool polish £5
 I have one hed kandi polish in beach party and I love the neon shade, so want to expand my collection and this blue really caught my eye. It's like a bright baby blue, and I love the quality of models own polishes for only a fiver, although they dry quite matte which isn't my favourite finish, with a glossy top coat, I think this blue will look great!

6. Bonus item: konad nail plate
I'm not sure of the price as the site uses dollars and I'm not even sure if you can get them shipped to the UK, but I saw a tutorial using one in a dog tooth design that looked amazing! I used to be quite into nail art and these would make it a whole lot easier. I think I need to look into them more, do you know if there's something similar in the UK?

So, that is my weekly wants! It's a lot of beauty products this week. what do you think? any products your lusting over for back to school/college and the start of autumn?

Thanks for reading

OOTD: crochet crop!

Hello Ladies!

 So I had my first day back at college today! I'm usually a casual girl and spent most of last year in jeans and leggings! But I'm going into A2 now and it was the first day so I thought I'd  make more of an effort (downhill fro here!) and I brought this beautiful white crochet top from topshop at the weekend an couldn't wait to wear it!


I paired it with a black topshop skater skirt (alot of topshop in one outfit) and some tights.

Sorry the pictures are so rubbish! Bad blogger - but  I was rushing around this morning! I got a better picture of the crochet below so you can see it clearer!
