New Look Jeans: Review!

So i have been buying my jeans from New Look for about 2 years now, and it's safe to say i love them! I've tried jeans from shops such as select however i find these ride down easily and go baggy in the wash. I also tried internationale (when they were still open) and had the same problem as with the select jeans.

My first pair of New Look jeans came from the 915 range when it was still fairly new and i instantly fell in love, this was at a time when i only wore flared or baggy jeans which my mum brought and it was amazing to be able to have my own jeans which i chose that were also fashionable and comfortable. Since then I've always been loyal to New Looks jeans and this has been exemplified every time i try another brand of jeans as i find myself going back to new looks jeans.

As I've grown up, skinny jeans have come into fashion and i think one of the best qualities of New Looks jeans is that they are super soft whilst still being tight and showing off your legs, they also don't loose their shape in the wash (common in other jeans of a similar price). The price is amazing, seen as their cheaper jeans are only £20, meaning you can afford a few pairs to switch and choose!

I usually go for their high waisted, super skinny jeans, in black. I absolutely love these and they have been so good at not fading and being very durable. I wear mine at least one day a week and they've kept their colour and lasted for about 6 months before i have to replace them which is pretty good for something i wear day in, day out and move about lots in. I've also found high waisted to be great as you don't have to wear them to emphasize the waist or as the statement piece of the outfit, but they do eliminate the need for a belt as I find they hug your figure and sit very comfortably on your hips (also great for keeping that bit warmer in winter).

They have definitely become my holy grail clothing item and take pride of place in my wardrobe as something that can be worn with pretty much every jumper or t-shirt that I own and something that shows off my figure whilst allowing me to cover up and keep warm. It's also my optimum time to utilize them as i don't have a uniform at the minute, this makes it even better as i always enjoy the way they are comfy and casual yet make you look like you put a lot of effort it.

I would definitely recommend checking their jeans out and definitely try them on in store so you can choose the pair that best suits you! I love my skinny jeans and New Look jeans are definitely some of thee best I know of. I hope this review was helpful and let me know if you find any jeans that you fall in love with!

Get ready with me! Festival Wear

So today i attended a local festival which had lots of artists performing folk style music. It had a very relaxed vibe and the singers were all very talented. I decided to go for a festival style outfit that would keep me cool as it was a hot day, so here's my routine for getting ready:

8:00am- Wake up and get breakfast, have a wash and choose my outfit.

Today i wore a white lacy detailed top from debenhams, a floral skirt from new look, boots from primark and a cardigan from H&M.

8:30am- Get dressed and begin make up routine.

8:45am- Make up!

For this look i used L'oreal Paris infallible matte foundation, i mixed it with a sport treatment gel, cucumber gel and Johnsons SPF15 face cream. By mixing these i keep my skin moisturized and clear whilst giving natural, even coverage. I use a small blob of each gel and foundation and then two blobs worth of face cream. I massage this into my skin. Whilst it soaks in i brush my teeth. After this i apply my MUA face powder with a large powder brush. Then i go to eyebrows. I comb them with an eyebrow comb and then apply Rimmel Londons eyebrow gel before combing my eyebrows through again to make sure the product is distributed evenly. For eyes i used sellotape between the corner of my eye and edge of eyebrow to create a neat line (to use when applying eyeliner flick). I then applied 3 colors from a pallet i have from Avon. Then i used my collection 2000 gel liner to flick a neat line out from my eye. After this i work my mascara brush through my lashes to fan out my lashes and give even coverage. To finish off the look i apply my J2O lip balm and my face is good to go after i use my Avon make up setting spray.

9:15am- I brush my hair through and split my hair into 4 sections. I curl each section using my curler then allow them to drop out so i get a natural lose curl to my hair. This is also effective as it suits people in a hurry and means my hair isn't getting as damaged as if i'd gone through in smaller sections. I use a small amount of No7 hairspray to keep my hair abit more tame.

9:30am- Good to go!

This routine is fantastic as it only takes an hour and a half before i'm out the door meaning i don't have to wake up super early in order to get ready. It also works great for when i'm in a rush as i know how long it'll take me to get ready. When i have bigger events such as a party of wedding i tend to turn the day into a pamper session where i take my time making everything perfect but for a day when your exited and just wnt to get out the door this is ideal! I also think my outfit complimented the event and i dressed appropriately for the weather.

Having a dance at the festival :P

ROMWE review

I had been debating buying from Romwe after reading many online reviews, mostly negative. I had browsed their website and loved the look of most of their products especially as they were reasonable prices. I weighed up the positive and negative reviews and decided to place an order. I purchased 2 pairs of shorts, a t-shirt and 3 necklaces from Romwe. 

The main issue for many of Romwe's customers was the shipping time. On the website it says that shipping takes 10-12 days (express is 2 days quicker). Many of the negative reviews i read said that it took over a month for some parcels to arrive. However, my experience with regards to shipping was positive and the parcel arrived in 7 days (I didn't pay for express shipping). 

The t-shirt i ordered was the Banana Print Loose T-Shirt; this product was exactly like the picture and was good quality. It fitted well and the bananas aren't fading in the wash (so far).

The necklaces were fine too. I really like the Purple Gemstone Silver Hollow Moon Necklace, my only criticism would be that the chain is fairly short so it fits more like a choker. The Camera Shaped Diamante Blue Necklace looks the same as the online photograph and i actually liked it more once it had arrived, i especially like the fact it has such a long chain as it means it's easy to put on when you need to quickly add something interesting to an outfit. One necklace i wasn't so pleased with was the Gold Round Star Chain Necklace as it fell apart the first time i went to put it on. It was quite easy to fix but i was disappointed that it broke so quickly. 

Finally the shorts.  I was most exited to receive the shorts as i needed some new ones. I picked ones that were a bit quirky and when the arrived they looked just as they did online however they were way too small. I had purposely ordered large as i know that Chinese sizes differ however i'm a UK size 10 and these should of been equivalent to a UK 12, but i couldn't get them past my thighs they were so little. I ended up widening one pair and they have come out well however i shouldn't of needed to make them bigger in the first place. I have yet to expand the other pair (The second pair are adjustable waist however they still don't fit me).

• Strawberry Embroidered Cuffed Denim Shorts

• Drawstring Cuffed Flower Print Blue Denim Shorts

Overall, my Romwe experience was fairly positive as the shipping was very quick and i received some nice pieces of jewelry and clothing. The shorts however did let down the delivery for me, especially as they are so pretty and i can't wear them. I decided not to return them as you have to pay for return postage and i figured it'd be less hassle to fix the shorts myself. If you are considering ordering from Romwe i would double check what your ordering and make sure that the sizes match up to your size in your country. Romwe are good for accessories that are cheaply available and i would definitely recommend them for t-shirts as they are super comfy and the print on mine was very vibrant. Just be careful with what sizes you order.
