Leather satchel - zatchels

Converse - office

Knitted jumper - gina tricot

Camera - amazon

Rita Ora cd - amazon

This is my second wishlist. Thought i would include some items that werent clothes as well. A lot of the time my go to shoes are vans and converse, and i love the colour of these so might buy them for autumn. The jumper i saw on Astrid's blog a while ago and i loved how she style it. Its had me lusting after it ever since, and its actually quite a bargain! As i quickly mentioned in my last post i am looking into maybe buying a camera. I have always used my mums for outfit photos and other pictures on my blog, but i will be starting university soon and cant take it with me. I only have a small compact digital which isnt great quality. But i dont know much about cameras and want to try and get a good camera on a budget. Any help would be great!

Autumn's arriving

Zara shirt

Zara maxi skirt

Topshop knit jumper

Topshop nail polish

H&M knit cardigan

Jack Wills coat

I seem to have a habit of looking at random bits of my room when i am making a video, just ignore it haha. Ive definitely been drawn to autumn pieces lately, i think it is one of my favourite seasons in england. My favourite purchase is the studded shirt from zara. It was one of those items i saw and just couldnt leave the shop without. I hope these videos are okay. Personally i think i sound pretty annoying! But it really is the easiest way to show you the things i have bought.

I have been trying out a few new hairstyles lately. Its not really something i have ever done on this blog but would anyone be interested in me showing a few? It will probably just be some photos of the finished product rather than a tutorial because they are simple styles. Let me know because i love to read them on other peoples blogs and watching youtube videos.

Ps. I am looking at buying a camera for uni, because i usually use my mums and still want to be able to take good photos when i am away. I would love some advice on what to get so if anyone is good on cameras then give me a bell.

Review: Lauren's Way Instant Tan

Lauren's Way

I got this product in the goody bag from bloggers boutique back in May and hadnt really had a chance to use it until recently. For holidays i tend to use the dove gradual self tanner (an all time favourite) and only use instant tan for nights out.
I was a bit apprehensive at first because it comes out a really dark colour onto the tanning mitt. To quote my boyfriend "youre going to look like an ethiopian!", thats how dark it is. But when it is applied it goes a lovely brown colour, not too orange, and it spreads really evenly. It is a lotion rather than a mousse and i love the consistency of it, it dries really quickly and doesnt leave your skin sticky. Another bonus is that it doesnt smell bad like some tanning products do, i personally liked the smell of it. When it came to washing it off it came off really easily in the shower just using soap and water, and no marks were left on my towel after so i know it all came off.
I would definitely recommend this as a product and might look at purchasing another bottle when its finished.

Wishlist #1

Studded boots - topshop

Lingerie - aubin and wills

Peplum top - topshop

Phenomena polish - topshop

Giraffe onesie - kigu

This is a random collection of what i would call autumn pieces. I am definitely after a pair of good boots that will last me all the way through winter and i really like the stud detailing on these. Although i also like chelsea boots and have wanted a pair for quite a few years. The underwear is expensive, but a girl can treat herself once in a while right? The top is just pretty. And i am loving the peplum style by topshop at the moment. And ok, i probably own too many nail polishes already, but one more wont do any harm! I bought 'hidden treasure' by topshop not long ago and was a little disappointed with the colour. It is more just plain gold on the nail than a mix with green. So i hope this one is better.

Finally i really want to get my hands on a Kigu onesie. I saw them after a post on Katy's blog and they look ridiculously comfy. Oh and it would be perfect for fancy dress in freshers week at uni. My favourite is the giraffe, but i love the red fox and the kangaroo too!
Not included on here but i also have the Delilah Dust purple druzy necklace on my wishlist, i love the stone that is used on it. There are some new silver charm necklaces in stock too, so check them out and you can use the code 'alicelily' at the checkout to get 10% off!

Might try and make this a more regular feature. I dont seem to do anything regularly on this blog.

This is where the new chapter begins

Been a bit absent from the blog this last week, although i have been reading everyones posts still. I got my results last thursday morning and i got the grades i needed! So i am going to study medicine at manchester uni in september. I am really excited because since then i have also found out my accommodation and have been chatting some people who will be on my corridor. My official move date is the 13th which isnt that far away! So i have lots to get sorted before then, including going through all my clothes so there may end up with a lot on ebay. Hope everyone else who got results got what they wanted.

Got a few shots of an outfit i wore last week.

Maxi dress - h&m, top - topshop, converse - office

Frizzy hair day. It actually got too warm to wear a top over the dress later that day, but i like how it looks. Had a lovely weekend with my family and my auntie and uncle who came over from america :) we took a visit to the yorkshire sculpture park and had some lovely sunny weather to wander round the grounds in. Wish i had taken some pictures actually, my mum has a few.

Hope everyone is enjoying the last of the summer holidays.
