Cropped Knit Cardigan

 

I think I have been saying that I need more cardigans for a while and I saw this one on the urban outfitters website & honestly don't think I have ever fallen so much in love with a cardigan. The colour of the cardigan is just so gorgeous and I'm so so glad I didn't decide not to buy it.

In other news, I think Ive finally recovered from having a cold on and off for like nearly a month HAHA & I've found I can nearly eat a WHOLE packet of ginger nut cookies!!

A New Year

I hope you all have a have a happy new year!!

Okay, so I know I haven't been blogging for a while now & Im pretty surprised Ive even gained a follower since then tbh, but I just want to say thank you for still following & hopefully I will be blogging about 1-3 posts a week.

I'm actually so glad 2014 is now over because without exaggeration I can say that it has been the worst year of my life, but im also a bit scared of the new year and I don't want to mess it up, I feel blessed that im alive today & hearing about all the deaths going around on the news and stuff is even more of a reason to why I feel so, hopefully this year will be a good one.

Kew Gardens

Okay well I haven't really got any other ideas on what to post so I decided to post about my trip to Kew Gardens earlier this month I think & it's mostly just pictures tbh haha...
It's actually really nice there I went with a few family friends and it was a fantastic day out. There was lots to look at and nice places to sit, it's a nice place to take pictures as well.

My favourite places that I went to were the Crystal Palace and the Barefoot Walk, even though I ended up with a sharp object in my foot after, because I had to walk back round and I didn't bring my shoes. I think the Crystal Palace is amazing and the staircases and rails are soo pretty & the plants are so big!!

#Update

Sorry guys for not posting in a while, Ive been pretty busy. Hopefully when the holidays are over i'll be blogging more regularly.

1. Figs & leaves.
Not too long ago I finished my Lush bar soap sad times guys, sad times.
It was the Figs & leaves one, at first i thought it was a waste of money, since it would have a loud & fruity smell to it, but then began to love it! It doesn't dry out my skin, and it exfoliates with these little round thing (i think they're seed) which is great, and it has like a sweet smell which is lovely. It's also quite creamy, and it does become a bit squishy when wet, but it hardens up after being left to dry. Hopefully i'll get another one soon.

2. Jake Bugg.
When i first heard one of his songs, i didn't really think it was all that, but then i heard Lightning Bolt and I was like, ive heard this before!!(on the British Airways advert i think). My favourite one is Someone told me, i just love it so much and then i really like Messed up kids & simple as this (even though i haven't quite understood what it means) and Taste it. I was up the other night looking for Jake Bugg t-shirts, this is serious love guys.

3. Blog Name.
I've been thinking of changing my blog name, but im not sure on it. What do you guys think??I think my blog name might be a bit long, but then again i really like it and the others names I like have been taken up:'(

Review: LUSH Bubblegum Lip Scrub & Ocean Salt Exfoliating Scrub

These are two of the gifts my sister gave me from LUSH for my birthday, my favourite of the two is the Bubblegum Lip Scrub. Thanks/thanks again to everyone who wished me a happy birthday (I'm so late, haha, my birthday was like a month ago).

Bubblegum Lip Scrub:

I really like the little pot it's in, much better than the plain black one. One thing I have to say is that it doesn't stick to your lips very well, but other than that it's great.

I really like this product, even though a lip scrub is something you could make at home for much less, but since it does smell & taste of bubblegum(← ← double bonus here!!) I think it's worth it. It also seems to last a bit which makes the cost the tiniest bit more reasonable.

 Ocean Salt Exfoliating Scrub:

 (This one was a sample) At first I really didn't like the smell of it. It was like a slightly lemony weird sweet smell, (can you tell I'm rubbish at describing things?) which I really disliked, but now I'm slowly (and ever so slightly) starting to like it. I've never used it on my body, just on my face, and it works well. This one in my opinion shouldn't be used on the lips as it is quite rough because of the sea salt in it.

Birthday Wishlist

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY SOON!!

Yep, that's right it's my birthday soon. In 8 days actually. I'm kind of excited and kind of not.

I might just spend most of the day in bed, on the internet, and eating cake, who knows?

Thinking about it, I think I did something like that last year and then I felt I had wasted my whole day, okay maybe not then...

A little bit more about me.

I think the last time I did one of these posts was when I didn't have any followers, so I thought I'd do another one so you guys can get to know me.

So, I'm Ariane and I'm 14. I'm about 5'2-5'3 which can be quite annoying if you're trying to reach something up high but it can be fun if you're being picked up

 and quite useful trying to get through a small spaces.

My birthday is June 25th,  which I think is pretty cool to be honest because it means that every six months I get presents.
I wish I had a really cool accent.

I really enjoy looking at pretty things ans pictures. I like to keep things like ribbon and pretty wrapping paper. I absolutely love it when the sun is shining and I open the curtains and everything looks so beautiful. Oh, and I love fairy lights!

I like to spend time on Pinterest looking at anything that looks pretty.

 I.LOVE.IKEA. It's just so amazing there and everything just looks so nice and everything is laid out so perfectly.
I would like to be an interior designer one day.

 I started blogging just a few days after my 14th birthday, I wanted to to do something that I thought would be fun and also make new friends. I really enjoy blogging because it's something that I can do. I was inspired to start blogging after reading Ellie's blog which I absolutely adore.

I hope you learned a little bit more about me in this post.

Ariane :)x

anchor tee

This Anchor Tee was bought from Ellie (elliesfavouritethings.com),

I got it at £2, which was such a bargain, and it was in excellent condition!

I had been wanting a top with an anchor on it for a while, so I'm really happy I was able to get it.

When I first saw it I was like this top is MASSIVE, but when I tried it on it looked just a little bit baggy (not that I'm really big or anything ;)).

Ellie is still selling her stuff, if you would like to shop her wardrobe click here!
If you don't see anything you like, check later, there'll be more up soon.

My First Topshop Nail Polish!

I have seen a lot of good reviews on Topshop nail polishes on other blogs, and I thought I'd try one and put it on my Christmas wish list.

I had originally wanted the Occupational Therapy which I seen on the Topshop site or Rainy Day, but when I went there they didn't  have any of them so I picked  up one like it which was the Parma Violet and went to the till, as we waited my sister spotted the Bashful nail polish and I liked it more than the Parma Violet, so I put the other nail polish back and my mum brought the Bashful one.I saw so many different colours there that I wanted to try.

The things I like about the nail polish is that it is such a lovely colour, that it is so easy to apply, and that it drys quite quickly.I couldn't really get the colour to show in any of the pictures I took, but it is a kind of greyish pale blue.

just a bit of chat #Christmas!

On Sunday I went to a carol service which I really enjoyed.The room was lit up by candle light and then we had mince pies and other snacks after,I also made a new friend :)
I had quite a hectic Monday (mondays are said to be the worst anyway,haha).I went to london with my family to drop off some Christmas presents and cards then we went on our way to Lakeside to do some Christmas shopping.Then we hit traffic and it took us hours to get there and then we barely got anything while we were there.I spent Chrismas Eve with my mum and went to do more shopping.I stayed up until the early hours of Christmas morning and woke up around 6:30 am and went downstairs to open my presents.I was so happy with what i got, fell asleep on the sofa after a while haha.Then I helped my mun with Christmas dinner which took FOREVER, but it was definately worth the wait!
I had such a lovely Christmas,and I hope you guys did aswell.
I actually cant believe it is coming to the end of the year, I  really hope that 2014 is going to be great year!Still thinking of realistic New Year resolutions to make at the moment, haha.
How was your Christmas?

How To: Make Button Hair Clips

I've seen these around a few sites.I thought they were really cute,so I decided to do them.

All you need is buttons, hair clips, and glue(using superglue or a glue gun is better).

1.Put glue on a button.

2.Put the hair clip in the centre of the button.

3. Leave it to dry.

And there you have it!
