Want of the Week || Aztec Backpack



When I was younger I always felt like rucksacks were so un-cool, when my mum would tell me to take a backpack to school because it's 'practical' I never really understood. But as i've got older the whole having a backpack has become a fashion piece and statement with the room for all the million and one things women have to carry in their bags. I  absolutely adore these cotton style backbacks/rucksacks especially for when I go back to university or it can even be used for college/school or everyday and I love the aztec print !

Have you seen any funky/fashionable backpacks, if so leave all your links below :)

Week in photos 16#

Tickets to reading festival, new blog layout, meee :), packing up, new army holdall, goodies to take on the trip, an extremely dark me, drinks, reading infortmation.

As you guys know who read my blog, I have been at reading festival since thursday morning this is why there is a extreme lack in interesting photos this week as I never really had the opportunity to do anything exciting (apart from reading). Reading was so amazing by the way and I suggest that anyone who hasn't been to one does go once in their life time as it is a once in a lifetime experience. Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying their bank holiday weekend and my pick of the week will be up tomorrow!

I'm going (well already gone in this case) to Reading Festival which I am extremely excited about. I've gone for the weekend and shall be back next week with stories to share and hopefully photos too. I haven't scheduled any posts apart from this one, as I shall be back on monday. So my week in photos post will be posted a bit late next week sorry guys!

Want of the Week || Disco pants dupe



Romana high waisted discopants £22.99  also available in black.

A fashion essential, American Apparels disco pants have become a necessary fashion piece for all wardrobes including celebrities such as Jessie J, Tulisa available and many more. I would myself absolutely adore a pair of American Apparel disco pants to add to my collection but for £70 a pair, I can not justify to myself spending that much on a pair of 'leggings'. However, I was chuffed to fine a 'dupe' on Missguided.co.uk I love both colours available in the disco pants, especially the burgundy as it is such a great shade for Autumn/Winter and could be paired with almost everything. A definite pay day purchase !

ASOS delivery arrived, my Company magazine collection, floral headbands for Reading festival, catching up with Keeping up with the Kardashians, NOTD coral rose, wearing my new hat, best prawn stir-fry ever, two new models own nail polishes.

This week has been quite an eventful week for me, I've been ordering and picking a few bits for reading festival which is next weekend. I've been pretty much running around like a headless chicken for the last three days to try and find the last bits and bobs for that. I tend to panic if everything isn't organised or left until the last minute. I have everything brought for reading now though i've just got to pack it all up which is good. I've also been really busy with work this week, i've been given a lot of extra hours which i'm really happy about. I'm planning to do a post on what I'm going to take to the festival, so keep your eyes peeled for that and that's about it really.

I hope everybody is having a lovely weekend and enjoying the weather !

Revlon Photoready perfecting primer



Revlon photoready primer is one of my favourite primers that I have used so far! I don't really use primers on a regular basis, so I'm always willing to try out different priming products. Because I only use primers for a night time look I feel like this primer was perfect for me and my skin type. It doesn't have SPF15 in it and is also oil-free which helps to reduce that 'shiny face' in photos and helps to diminish the appearance of pores. I feel that it really does help in giving your make-up a flawless finish without completely drying out the skin.

This primer comes in a glass bottle with a pump, so it is easy to manage the amount of primer needed. I found that one to two pumps gave the perfect amount of product. Revlon photoready primer is a white colour that applies transparent when blended into the skin and dries to a satin finish which helps to create a flawless make-up look. I have been using this primer and Mac fix+ as my make-up duo. By using these two products I feel like my make-up can last a lot longer without having the need to re-apply.

I would definitely re-purchase this primer and would recommend it for people with dry to combination skin as it feels extremely light-weight on the skin.

Avaliable from Boots.
