Bath Time - Lush Bath Bomb (Fail)

This is just a quick update on what I've been up to this weekend. On Friday night I rewarded myself after a week full of stress and school with a hot bath. I found a bath bomb from Lush a couple days earlier in my room and decided to use that one, since I've never tried that popular product. I've seen so many bloggers and youtubers praising the Lush bath bombs, so I was very excited to give it a go.
The problem was, my friends gave that thing to me on my 13th birthday, which means it was quite old. Quite old meaning four and a half years. I'm not entirely sure if you're supposed to use beauty products that have been decaying in the corner of your bedroom for several years, but stupidly enough I just thought "Why not?", and threw it in the water.
It was such an epic fail, haha. That thing floated and didn't "explode" like it should have. It just didn't dissolve. Even when I squeezed it in my hand a little, it stayed completely hard.
I then decided to throw the bath bomb away. 
So kids, do not use four-and-a-half-year-old bath bombs. 
You are going to be let down.




A huge cup of tea and Belgian chocolate to help me relax.


The book that I'm reading at the moment, named "Billy and Me" by Giovanna Fletcher. 

"Sophie May has a secret. One that she's successfully kept for years. It's meant that she's had to give up her dreams of going to university and travelling the world to stay in her little village, living with her mum and working in the local teashop.
But then she meets the gorgeous Billy - an actor with ambitions to make it to the top. And when they fall in love, Sophie is whisked away from the comfort of her life into Billy's glamorous - but ruthless - world.
Their relationship throws Sophie right into the spotlight after years of shying away from attention. Can she handle the constant scrutiny that comes with being with Billy? And most of all, is she ready for her secret heartbreak to be discovered and shared with the nation?"

I love the book. The plot is amazing and the characters are really lovable. Basically, it's like the proper book version of a fanfiction, and sometimes I find myself replacing Billy with Harry Styles in my mind. No shame at all. 




Luckily, I found some vanilla shower gel in the cupboard. Otherwise, my well-deserved bath would have gone down the drain.
I love bubbles! 



The Body Butter from The Body Shop is to die for! I've just started using this product and I'm already in love with it. I recommend this to everyone, my skin is a lot more moisturised and it just smells heavenly. I kid you not, I wish I could sniff it the whole time. 
It may be pricey, but really worth it.


Well, I hope you're not laughing too much at the sad excuse that is my life. I'm going to bed and read The Mortal Instruments now. Has anyone read those series?
And what bath products do you use?

LFW Autumn/Winter 2014/15

I know I'm a bit late to write about London Fashion Week since everyone has already moved on and is in Paris-mode. Nevertheless, I have made a blog post about New York and it would be unfair if I didn't write about my favourite out of the Big Four which is London. 


Felder Felder

A lot more feminine than their previous collections. Not too much and not too little either. Just the right balance between sophisticated and edge.


Markus Lupfer

Markus Lupfer kept it very minimalistic but that's what I absolutely love. The simplicity and wear-ability really wow'd me. This polka-dot-dress is something I would wear and the collection shows many other interesting fun-sweaters.


Pringle Of Scotland

I have been looking forward to this show in particular, simply because I have been following the designs for ages. This coat is to die for and I love this look in general.


Temperley London

Temperley London definitely tried to change their look a bit this season and in my opinion, they achieved it perfectly. It's still very elegant and classic but a whole lot sexier.


Mulberry

A full post about this was already uploaded but I'm going to mention the Cara Delevingne - Mulberry collab real quick. As I said before, the bags/backpacks capture the model's personality really well. I think they're different and youthful.


Topshop Unique

The combination between those eye-catching patterns, the modern colours and the right fabrics made me fell in love with the collection. Furthermore, this blue tone is so beautiful.


Richard Nicoll 

It was so hard to choose my favourite outfit because all of them are amazing. A lot of different colours were used, including pink, blue and gold, and I'm looking forward to autumn/winter already!


Burberry

Christopher Bailey didn't let me down. He never has actually. I'm so impressed with this collection. The patterns are quite daring but they definitely work and every single piece is so unique. Again, it was really hard to narrow it down only one photo.


All in all, London Fashion Week was a great success and I'm beyond impressed. I tried to limit it to only a couple of shows but it was an extremely difficult task. All the shows, or rather the majority of them, looked beautiful.
Which show did you like the most?

A Day In Frankfurt

Today's day was spent in bed ill so since I was bored out of my mind, I browsed through the photos on my laptop, and discovered some from last month. Those were shot a day after my University truant post, hence the similar outfit, and I guess I never intended on posting them or I simply forgot. 



We spent quite some time in Urban Outfitters. I love it in there. I don't know, I find the atmosphere so... inspiring?

Possibly the coolest cutout boots ever. Unfortunately, I don't have 100 quid at the moment... 


Aw, look how shy she is. Took a (not so) sneaky pic of her. 



Sorry, my makeup was smudged and I looked absolutely horrendous.



Yeah, that's it. I took a lot more photos on that day but somehow I managed to look like a zombie on ALL of them. So excuse me for not showing my face. It's for the better. Trust me. 
Love you all!

Mulberry + Cara Delevingne Collection

Mulberry launched their collaboration with Cara Delevingne a couple of hours ago, and it looks like she's not only a great model and singer, but also an impressive designer. I must say, the bags don't really suit my style and I can't see myself wearing them. 
However, I find them pretty interesting nonetheless, and they really reflect Cara's personality and style. 
The fashion house is known for their classic and sophisticated designs, and the new urban backpacks definitely stand out. I think, it's everyone's personal opinion, whether they like "different" or not.
It was so gutting to find out that Mulberry weren't going to be presenting their designs at London Fashion Week, given the fact that creative director Emma Hill left, which is why the company decided to launch the collection today, in order to still be talked about during fashion week.

















What do you think about the new bags? Yay or Nay?

Alexander McQueen campaign + Kate Moss

Have you seen the new Alexander McQueen campaign video for SS14 featuring Kate Moss yet? It's such an interesting film directed by Steven Klein.
I think my queen Kate Moss looks really cool with that bright yellow crop hair and that leather bustier. Can you believe that this woman is already 40 years old? She has an incredible body. I'm well-jealous.

Warning: Do not watch if you're a scaredy-cat and home alone!
