First Missguided Packaging Review

The other day I made my very first Missguided order, and I was not disappointed!
I've always found myself scrolling through their website and adding excess amounts of clothing to my basket but never actually purchasing them. Lots of my friends owned their clothes so I knew that they were legit, I was just nervous to take the first plunge!

On first viewing of their website, I loved how it was laid out and that it was super easy to navigate. I quickly found the section I was looking for, in this case dresses, and was able to get my sizes as well!
The packaging came really quickly, I had a discount code for free next day delivery, and so the day after I'd ordered it I got the knock on the door.

Both dresses (I'll insert pictures) were ordered in a size 6, which were pretty true to size, except I would say they could be seen as coming up slightly bigger than other shops such as Topshop. Being rather short- 5ft 3in- the dresses came up a bit too long on me, even with heels. The prices of £29.99 each meant I wasn't that bothered about it- I managed to take the dresses up myself with the help of my wonderful nan.

The only problem I have with ordering from this website is the return policy- my label fell off of the black dress, which meant I could not return it as I only needed one of the two! Having to take money off the refund for delivery was also very annoying.
Which dress do you prefer?

Spring Pastels 2014

So today (and for the whole of yesterday) I have been wrapped up in bed due to a horrendous bug. Literally, I don't think I've ever been this ill before and therefore I am currently feeling very sorry for myself.

Anyway, today I thought I'd do a post on a few things that I am absolutely loving within spring/summer fashion. The pastel colours are everywhere, and I cannot get enough of them- especially the mint greens and pastel pinks, they are so pretty.

Finding myself lusting after lots of pieces that have caught my eye online, I thought I'd mash together a few of my favourite items, both staple and out-there, just incase you guys are enjoying the pastel trend as much as me and are keen to get an idea of a few more pieces.

One piece of clothing I have invested in that I put into the collage is the white high waisted Joni jeans. They are so simple to style, but can look both dressy and casual. I don't normally buy jeans just because I find they are quite expensive/ never fit me right, but these retailed at £36 with a further 10% off from my student discount, so I thought that was a pretty great deal!

I've tried to stray away from adding too many things from Zara, but seriously, have you seen their collection? I am lusting after pretty much every piece. The sad times of a student, ay.

A little break..

So, where have I been for months? Still here, just not blogging unfortunately! I tend to let things take over and don't have time to pursue the things that I really enjoy (blogging and youtube, for instance). 

In the months I've been away quite a bit has changed for me personally. 

I won't go into detail, simply because it will be seriously boring for you all, but will point out some of the major changes, especially to my appearance! 

First off, I am now a brunette- and very happily so! It was a decision that I knew I had to make if i wanted my hair to stay on my head, because it had become really damaged from over processing and anymore would have seen the end to it. I am currently thinking about going for the chop- a bit like Alexa Chungs… I love the shape and the fact that I will be helping my hair out big time by doing it.

And the second major change would be something I've been working on for a few months now-- my weight loss journey! My weight is something that has always affected my confidence and also mentally. Without being completely typical with my cliche lines- it really was only me who could change what I really hated about myself in order to find some happiness at the end. I want to talk more in detail about my journey in any post, so will just keep it short and simple here. I've currently lost 26 pounds, and have dropped from a big size 12 to a 6/8.

Back to blogging a lot more regularly from now on.. the sales on boxing day will definitely be featured in a future post!

Thanks for reading, and if you've stayed following me, thank you!

Weigh-Ins

Hello lovelies,

So whilst I've been away from my blog I put on weight. I knew I had and it did really bother me yet I kept putting loosing weight off.
To cut a long story short, I am back to healthy eating and this time for good. I've recently lost 10 pounds, but am not back to my original weight that I could struggle through with and not feel as bad as I did a couple of weeks ago.
I have goals and I'm being healthy about it- its a lifestyle change! Seeing the difference in a few weeks really makes you want to carry on, and I'm determined to get to my lowest weight and target that I have wanted to be for years. Its reachable- but I need to just keep at it!
I'll be updating this blog every week with weigh ins, but I won't let the scales rule my life. I'm using clothes to see the difference as well, which is sometimes the way to see the weight loss.
I've taken before pictures and am so looking forward to reaching my goal and comparing.

Thanks for reading!

OOTD

So for christmas I asked for tartan, tartan and a little bit more tartan. I loved this jegging/trousers but then I forgot I had them! 

I've seen that tartan has come back recently so I decided to get them out again. 

These are from Topshop and are seriously comfy. I paired these with a black crop top, a biker jacket and Jeffery Campbells (I completely forgot to get pictures of them!)

Crop Tee- Primark, Biker Jacket- H&M, Jeggings- Topshop

They kept falling down unfortunately, usually I wear them higher.

Absence

Hello my lovelies,

Unfortunately it has been a long-time-no-see situation, which I have no real reason/ excuse for, except for working looooooads.
Another main reason was that I was lucky enough to go away for 2 weeks with my friend and her parents to Menorca. It was so lovely and sunny!
I did keep my youtube in mind and videoed a few bits and bobs that I will make into a short video, because I know that not everyone will want to see it- but I just thought it would be a lovely way to remember the holiday for me.
I've really been into fashion recently over makeup and so have got a few ootd planned that I hope to get on my blog asap really, but I have also got a few makeup bits to add in aswell.

A side note for you all is that I am currently a bit cautious to film- my hair is a really horrible colour at the moment and have had it tied up into I fix it. I tried to film the process but of course because I hate the outcome I will not be posting the video.

So now I'm just going to add a few pictures from when I went away.. but get ready for my next post that will be back to my normal themes!

Love Jas x.

Get Ready With Me: Make up and clothes for a concert

Hi everyone!

So tomorrow I'm going to see Rihanna and I'm really excited! It's going to be such a long day and I would love to vlog but I would feel a bit stupid putting myself out there knowing no one will actually see it haha (I'm very pessimistic unfortunately).
But I am going to be filming a'Get Ready With Me' video for my youtube channel, which is something I've only done once before and it was really fun!
I'm also going to create a blogpost sunday night about the products I used, and why and what I love about them- just incase you are interested in any of the products I used or are off to a concert and wondering what is really long wearing/ how products wear after extreme conditions.

Anyone who is followers me and occasionally checks out my blog will see that it looks a lot better, because I'm finally getting how to adjust my blogger template.
Thanks for reading guys and have a fantastic weekend!

Love Jas x
