Spring Style

Spring Style by lauren290591 featuring cross body handbags

 Spring has sprung and the warmer weather is making me feel like my clothes need to be brighter! I'm loving the map print and shades such as lime green and peachy corals at the moment. Hope this gives you a little bit of inspiration.

What I've Been Up To

 Just in case you're interested in my daily life then here's a little update. I've been taking my puppy Darcy to training classes and it's been loads of fun watching her play with the other puppies, usually she gets as much sleep as she can. She's a Bearded Collie and almost 5 months old, here she is sleeping on the sofa (naughty!) and on my slipper:

 I've also been swamped with uni work, making a Commonplace Book for Shakespeare studies and writing a 3000 word essay about Hardy. When I was writing my essay I found a little scribble in the back of a library book that I couldn't help agreeing with in the midst of essay stress:

 I spent a lovely weekend with my boyfriend when he came home from uni for a visit and we played the Angry Birds board game (which turned me into an angry bird), Scrabble and I ended up buying american candy like Twizzlers from an old fashioned sweet shop: 

 I've also been buying a few things so I'll do a little shopping haul post soon if you're interested in seeing what I've purchased. I read The Hunger Games Trilogy not too long ago and I can't wait to see it come to life when the film comes out soon, let me know if you're looking forward to the film like me!

Candy Inspired Nails

 This nail design is really easy to accomplish. Just pick a bright candy colour and add white stripes! In case you need ideas for colours (or don't know what sweets look like...) here are some sweets:

                        

I used Missguided's orange/ coral polish in the shade Misstaken and Avon's Mosaic Effects Top Coat Nail Enamel in White. 

 Simply paint your nails in your chosen candy shade and once they're dry paint a white crackle polish over the top!

Pastel Passion

Pastels by lauren290591

 I love the pastel trend, it's perfect for spring.

 I wish I could pull pastel shades off but being very pale they always make me look washed out. I like how pastel colours can give outfits a vintage kind of vibe but I always feel awkward wearing dresses in the day time for some reason and I don't think vintage outfits suit me although I do love vintage fashion.

 Even though I'm wary of pastels I think I'll at least be wearing some pastel accessories and makeup when the sun comes out to play! What's your favourite pastel item at the moment?

Easy Spring Pastel Eye Makeup Tutorial

 This is a really easy 5 minute Spring eye makeup look.

All you need is: white eye shadow, purple eye shadow, green eye shadow, green eyeliner, and eyelash curlers.

 Step 1: Apply white eye shadow all over the lid and along the lower lash line.

 Step 2: Apply purple eye shadow over the lid and blend.

 Step 3: Apply green eye shadow close to your lower lash line.

 Step 4: Apply green eyeliner to your lower rim.

 Step 5: Use an eyelash curler on your lashes and leave them mascara free or use clear mascara for a softer Spring look.

 You can try this easy look with any two contrasting pastel shades and be ready for Spring in 5 minutes! If you're unsure about wearing pastel colours why not try some fun pastel toe nail art?
