Since their UK launch in October, it seems every blogger and influencer has been raving on about US beauty brand Glossier. Unlike a lot of brands, Glossier products are designed to <i>enhance</i> natural beauty, not cover it. Not only do all their products contain only natural ingredients but the brand is also 100% currently free - so what's not to love? I purchase their best-selling product, <i><a href="https://www.glossier.com/products/boy-brow" target="_blank">Boy Brow</a> - </i>but is it worth the hype? </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
At £18 (including £4.00 delivery) Glossier's Boy Brow promises to thicken, fill and groom brows into place. Since I have very dark brows I purchased mine in the shade black, the other shades in this range are clear, brown, and blond.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Although the bottle is quite small, there is enough inside. As you can see in the image below, a lot of product comes off of the spoolie so I just wipe some off so I don't apply too much to my brows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Upon the first application I applied the Boy Brow by itself. Now, unless you are blessed with thick and in shape brows then using the Boy Brow alone is <b>not</b> for you. Although it did fill in my brows, it couldn't do the job my brow pencils do of making 'fake' hairs where needed. So in conjunction with the Boy Brow, I used the Kiko<i> </i><a href="https://www.kikocosmetics.com/en-gb/product/Eyebrow-Sculpt-Automatic-Pencil-03/p-KM0030801300344?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzaPsjdmW2gIV7rvtCh2_dglLEAQYAiABEgKK-PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">Sculpt Pencil</a> in the colour '06'.</div>

As you can see, my brows are <i>quite</i> a mess. They have no shape and are guilty of being over plucked. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>After </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The combination of the boy brow and the pencil is perfect. The pencil did a great job of lining up my brows and the boy brow gave them that thick, natural look.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Glossier did not lie when they said the Boy Brow would groom my brows into place, after applying and after a few hours, my brows never go in a hard state but remain just less than soft and are still easy to manipulate if needed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">I would 100% recommend this product to anyone looking to change their brow routine for a more natural one.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
It is officially spring in the UK and with spring comes sunshine and with sunshine comes motivation, so I have decided to make some changes. I started this off by deleting up to five years of old blog posts and completely revamping my blog. I have also treated myself to some new clothes for spring and have put my time into putting together <i>3 Looks For Spring</i>..<br />
<a name='more'></a>To really spice things up I've added gifs instead of your typical photos. These three outfits are spring appropriate but should obviously be layered up as it is still very chilly out!<br />
<br />

You can never go wrong with a plain camisole, these types of tops are so versatile as they can be dressed up for a night out or dressed down for something to lounge about in. Although this specific one is a body, you can find similar tops just about anywhere.<br />
<br />
I purchased this body as I was on the hunt for a top with a square neckline and spaghetti straps, the combination of the two give such a different look compared to your typical camisole. I paired these with my trusty Joni Jeans and some hoop earrings.<br />

I love wearing dresses but I find that nice ones are often overpriced or don't come in petite sizes. Fortunately, whilst looking around Miss Selfridge I came across this petite wrap dress in the sale down to £7 from £27.<br />
<br />
This dress is perfect for any occasion and worn with tights and a cardigan can be worn in this chilly spring sunshine.<br />

I couldn't resist buying just <i>one</i> body, so I purchased another in black! I paired this with my not-so-new New Look jeans which I've had them for three months and still can't get enough of. These jeans are super high waisted and make every outfit look fab! I threw on my favorite rusty cardigan, which I also styled in my previous <a href="http://www.allym.co.uk/2017/11/how-i-style-tobi.html" target="_blank">post</a> and is probably going to be my go-to spring look this year!<br />

I always feel awkward blogging because I'm not very consistent with it
so I never know how to start these things. But today I bring you a new
post featuring the very cool brand, <a href="http://www.tobi.com/gb/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tobi</a>! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few weeks ago I was kindly contacted by the lovely Jamie, who asked if I wanted some items to post on my blog. After reviewing their website, I eagerly said yes. Their items are what I'd imagine my favourite Instagram fashionista would have in their wardrobe! Everything is so glamorous and perfect for special occasions, but also great for casual wear. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
One item I picked is this <a href="http://www.tobi.com/gb/product/65310-tobi-lauren-choker-striped-tee?color_id=94120http://www.tobi.com/gb/product/65310-tobi-lauren-choker-striped-tee?color_id=94120" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">choker tee</a> (pictured above), I love stripes and anything with a choker, so naturally I had to get my hands on this. Although it is a bit big for me, the material is so soft and the quality is amazing - I'm so used to buying cheap tops so it was really nice to have a change for once in quality. I paired this top with my trusty Primark A-line skirt and Joni Jeans.<br />
<br />
Another item from Tobi is this rust <a href="http://www.tobi.com/gb/product/62631-tobi-i-will-find-you-cardigan?color_id=90272" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">cardigan</a>. I'm so used to buying staple pieces in black but I'm very glad I went against that rule this time. I love seeing people styling cream or rust coloured cardigans during winter, it just gives an outfit a cosy autumn look and a nice pop of colour. <br />

The last item is this boxy shift <a href="http://www.tobi.com/gb/product/62678-tobi-boxed-off-shift-dress?color_id=90347" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">dress</a>. Unfortunately it was way too long on my little legs but did try to roll it up to see how it would look if I werent 5'1! I love the dainty little spaghetti straps on this and
just knew it would look great layered with my Zara polo top.<br />
<br />
I hope you like how I styled these items and a big thank you once again to Jamie for getting in touch and being so nice! :)<br />

At the age of 22, I feel very happy to be able to say I have had my first holiday! In August my boyfriend took me to Spain to visit his family in Granada and a town called Moraleda de Zafayona. Most days were spent drinking Tinto De Verano, exploring, melting in the sun, trying new foods and having a lot of siestas! Most of the pictures are taken at the Alhambra and a science park. I thought it would be nice to create a blog post with some photos I took so I can look back on it for good memories. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
A few days ago I turned 22 and my first thought when the clock hit 00:00 was 'I did not achieve any of the goals I set for 21' these goals weren't anything special, just predictable things like lose weight, save money, blog more etc. Whether it be a new year, month or age I always repeat the same pattern..set a goal, don't do it then get upset because I feel like I've failed life. <br />
<br /></div>
As Kylie Jenner once said, today I am 'like realising stuff', stuff like, fuck setting long term goals that will most likely be doable if I <i>didn't</i> put them on a pedestal and fuck thinking about what I haven't done and start thinking about what I<i> have</i> done.<br />
<br />
Although it doesn't feel like it, a lot of things changed for me whilst being 21. Some low points were living in a shared house with people I didn't get along with, my mental health spiralling downwards, losing friends, suffering with social anxiety among other bad times but on the other hand, <i>a lot </i>of good things happened! For example, I started counselling for my anxiety (which massively helped), got into my second year of university, got into a relationship, started going to the gym more frequently, got a tattoo, attended my first Sofar Sounds event.. and so much more.<br />
<br />
To end this, I would like to say to future 22 year-old-me.. unfortunately no ones life is as perfect as they make out to be. Life will challenge you and you will have your bad days but you will also have your good days. Sometimes you wont realise how good something is until it is gone, so make sure to live in the present, take nothing for granted and most importantly, have fun.

Hello, it's been a while! Since starting university I've not had the movtivation to blog. I have been filling perksofbeingally with sponsored wishlists and turning it into something I never wanted it to be. Fortunatley today is a new day and today I have decided I want to start again! I have been wanting to for a while, I just haven't had the time. I've been able to sit down, come up with new ideas, read blogs for inspiration and find the motivation I had once lost. Some of my friends are blogging now too so it makes it even more exciting. I'm eager to stick with and learn to love blogging again, until next time!<br />

I wish I was one of those people that could read a different book each week, but unfortunately I have the attention span of a fish and dedicating myself to a book is about as difficult as figuring out what filter I want to use for an Instagram picture! A few weeks ago I watched <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/orionvanessa" target="_blank">Orion Carloto</a>'s
'Books I've been reading' video, one book she mentioned was <a href="http://www.whsmith.co.uk/products/memories/9781449472399" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Memories</a> by
Lang Leav. Memories features a collection of poems from Lang's two previous books <i>Love & Misadventures</i> and <i>Lullabies </i>(and includes 35 unpublished ones). I was rather skeptical to get this book as it's not a regular one with a
story and I've never taken an interest in poetry, but I took the plunge and have never looked back!</div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: left;">
If you're like me and you love the idea of love, cheesy love films and any small cliche act of romance sweeps you off your feet, then you should probably read this book! The amazing cover alone makes me feel all giddy inside, it looks so precious, I want to treasure it and pass it on to my future-daughter!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Memories pretty much explains the thoughts that go through your head when you're in love, fall out of love, lose someone you love, miss someone you love and all the other love-related things in between. It has something for everyone and has made me shed many tears at how cute, relatable and honest it is. So many pages had me questioning if I'd written the book myself, I don't understand how someone who isn't me managed to capture my feelings better than I can! The best way to read Memories (or any book by Lang Leav) is in the evening, with a beautiful smelling candle, a slow instrumental playlist and a cup of tea!</div>

Another thing I enjoy doing is listening to music. I could spend my whole day just browsing and finding new artists and falling in love over and over again. Here's four songs I've been loving so far this summer<br />
<br />
<center>

<center>
<left><b>Like Lust</b> by <b>Movement</b> - I heard Movement's song "Us" on Teen Wolf and loved it, I then searched them up on Spotify and came across "Like Lust" and instantly decided that I will overplayed it for the rest of the year! I don't really know how to explain why I like this song, all I can say is that it's a song that I would like to be played at a very high volume whilst on a very long drive.</left></center>

<center>
<br />
</center>
<center>
<b>Winter Comes </b>by<b> Josh Record - </b>I've been following Josh Record on Twitter for about two years now and until a couple of weeks ago had only heard one of his songs. I don't know why it took me so long to listen to his other songs, but it was so worth the wait. His album came out last week and I've been listening to it so much. It was such a struggle to choose one song from his album, but eventually Winter Comes won. I'm sad it's only 2 minutes, but it's a lovely song.</center>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Cavalier </b>by <b>James Vincent McMorrow </b>- James' style of music reminds of Bon Iver and this song is basically everything I could ask for in a song. It's so beautiful and I don't think there's been a day in the last 30 days that I haven't played it at least once! The drums, his voice, the lyrics.. everything about this song is perfection. I wish I could listen to this song for the first time again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>The Human Story</b> by <b>George the Poet</b> - I'm not sure if this one classes as a song so much, but it's still going in my list. I've only heard George The Poets stuff recently, but I'm really into it. This song is called The Human Story and it's pretty much trying to raise awareness of Black Organ Donors, I love the video it's all so brilliant! </div>

Hello
there, it's been months since my last outfit post so
writing this feels so new to me! Although I've been spending most of my
time in my room, I've still been loving the hot weather we've been
having recently. On a trip to Morrissons me and Vanese thought we'd take
advantage of the sun and have a lil impromptu outfit shoot! </div>
<br />
Stripes
are slowly starting to take over my wardrobe and I'm pretty much
loving it. They're so great for hot days when you want to spice up an
outfit without putting in too much effort. I saw this top in Topshop a
couple of weeks back but couldn't afford it, luckily it's been put in
the sale and only for £8! If I owned one, I probably would've styled
this with a long mustard skirt, but instead I have my lemon nails from
collection cosmetics. These shoes have never been featured on this blog but I got
them back in October and have worn them to death (Like literally, the
sole is non-exsistent!). Lastly, I've been enjoying wearing this hat that I purchased from Primark about a year ago. Its so easy to throw on when I'm having a bad hair day (which is most days!) or when in a rush. I'm all about these summer sales, I like the Topshop and ASOS sales and all the offers on<a href="http://www.fashionbeans.com/category/offers-and-vouchers" target="_blank"> Fashionbeans.com. </a><br />

A couple of days ago me and Vanese were popping in to town and the sun decided to join us.. of course we had to take full advantage of this and find a nice spot to take outfit pictures at. I settled on this wooden gate, it makes a nice change from my white background!<br />
<br />
I bought this coat a couple of months ago at a bargain of £10 but have never worn it, I don't like to wear coats are shorter than my skirt - (also the neckline on it is so awkwardly scooped, it irritates me) but it's 2015 now and I've got to start wearing what I buy! I have fallen in love with this H&M blouse, I'm surprised I've not damaged it anyway yet, I've worn it so much! It goes with pretty much every lipstick and well.. that's all I've ever wanted in life! Finished the outfit off with my trust River Island bag, you can never go wrong with black and gold!<br />

I probably shouldn't be dedicating a post to my blogs birthday as I've gone on about 138484 hiatus' since it turned two! But it's my blog and I can post whenever and however I want! Although I've not blogged as much as I hoped I would in the last year, when I have, I have absolutely loved it. It's my little place on the internet where I can write about things I like, share what I'm wearing or just talk about how I'm feeling. It's going to be great being 60 and reading everything back! My life would be completely different right now had I not started this blog three years ago, so cheers to three years!</div>
<hr />
As much as I don't want to admit it, I'm quite the pessimist. I constantly think about what's going wrong, how it's going to get worse and how I'm never going to feel happier. I will be turning twenty in four weeks and I don't want to stay how I am. I know how I want to be and what things I want to do, but I pick out the cons and force myself into thinking I can't do anything I desire to. I don't want to be that person that looks at everyone else and feels jealous, thinking "I wish I could do that" I'm too young and also too old for excuses. I might not live to the next February 26th and I don't intend on leaving feeling incomplete!<br />
<br />
Recently I've been feeling happier (I don't care about jinxing that, I'm not going to feel happy forever so I'm appreciating it while I can!) I've been busy and changing things in order to keep myself happy without caring what others will think. I'm not religious but I do love taking part in Lent, so this year my goal for Lent is to continue thinking and being <b>positive</b>. I will start doing things that genuinely make me happy and see how I can change my attitude towards any negativity.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are your goals for lent?</div>

Hey! I've attempted to do music related posts on my blog quite a few times but always seem to fail the simple task of continuously posting them on a monthly basis, so here I am, trying again for 2015.<br />
<br />
I recently discovered a website called <a href="http://8tracks.com/">8tracks</a>, a site full of playlists that consist of at least 8 tracks. I honestly didn't think there were a better music streaming site than Spotify, until now! For the past week I've been losing myself in different playlists, discovering new artists and absolutely loving it. (My favourite is the <a href="http://8tracks.com/explore/chill" target="_blank">chill</a> section) Listening to all these new songs inspired me to make a playlist for January, compiled of all the songs I've been playing non-stop and my flatmates probably can't stand! So have a listen, tell me what you think and if you've got an account, follow me - allyretro!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(You can press play without a new window opening or you having to have an account to listen, 8tracks is too cool for that)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello there, stranger! To say its been a long time would be the biggest understatement of 2014! As the end of the year approaches, so does my urge to blog again. I feel like since coming to university I've done nothing but laze about & watch Gossip Girl (doesn't mean I regret it!) Some say you shouldn't wait for a new year to make changes - as much as I agree, I also think that sometimes a new year is what you need. It's a chance to say goodbye to bad habits, let go of grudges, eliminate the negative & move on to better things. That being said, here's some of my resolutions for the new year..<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
|| Have a positive attitude towards life </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
|| Attempt one good deed a day</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
|| Spend less time over-thinking and worrying</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
|| Be more organised<br />
|| Don't be afraid to tell people how I feel</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
|| Exercise<br />
|| Create a playlist on Spotify each month<br />
|| Give away clothes I don't wear<br />
|| Challenge my comfort zone<br />
|| Make an Acai Bowl</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
|| Blog more frequently</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
|| Say goodbye to weirdly shaped eyebrows<br />
|| Drink more water<br />
|| Don't let anxiety or panic stop me from doing my thang</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
|| Find the perfect red lipstick<br />
|| Complete the 30-day-shred<br />
|| Read more books, magazines and blogs</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
|| Go to at least three gigs<br />
|| Less chocolate, more veggies<br />
|| Go to another country in Europe</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
|| Get a new look<br />
|| Save and be smarter with money</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
|| Remember it's work before play </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
|| Buy a new acoustic guitar</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
|| Do something for the first time<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are you resolutions for the new year?</div>

Hello friends, it's been a while! I couldn't believe it when I saw my last blog post was posted on August 31st and we're now at the end of October - mental! Talking of mental.. life has been just that recently, I'd love to write a post on university life but I'm not actually sure what I'd say, soon though!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am having a great time at university, meeting lots of new people, enjoying my course, spending all my money on takeaways and Topshop, living life to the full! I've been procrastinating like a pro and as much as I'd like to say I regret it, due to the fact that I've made a video and written a new blog post, I can admit that I'm quite glad that I have! I've spent most of this week watching youtube videos and as we are in autumn/winter there have been a lot of lookbook's, I have been truly inspired & have made my own. The angles are bad & the quality isn't very good but you get the jist of the video.<br />
<br />
These are some outfits I've been wearing recently, enjoy!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The lack of footwear I have is unreal, every year there is a perfect pair of boots that I cannot afford and when winter arrives I'm left wearing flats. Recently I was looking around on the TKMAXX site and came across these babies. Other than the fact that they are insanely beautiful, the prices that they are is crazy. The platform boots are £24.99 and the chelsea boots are £19.99. I bought them both seeing as they were so cheap and the price combined is what I'd pay for one pair anyway. I've been wearing both non-stop and can't believe they are so cheap and such good quality, I was expecting the heels and platforms to be foamy or plastic but they're really sturdy. I'd definetely recommend everyone check out TKMaxx's footwear section, they have so many boots and shoes at great prices. I'm excited to wear these two during winter.<br />

Hello friends</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do apologise for my impromptu break from blogging, life has been all over the place and I didn't really feel I had anything to blog about. Things have calmed down now and I have collected some basic clothing essentials that will be great for university. </div>

Stripes are always a yes, they look good dressed up with a big statement necklace and dressed down with jeans. I like this top because it's boxy and more black than white and that just makes it easier to wear with everything. I've been wearing this non-stop and won't be stopping anytime soon!</div>

I usually go for Primark dupes of Topshop items but the colours they had were so pretty, I just couldn't resist! These crop tops fit perfectly on me and will be very nice in winter to layer up with a chunky cardigan. I also bought a cute dainty necklace for when I wear these tops, I'll show you soon!</div>

I've been wanting an A-line skirt for such a long time but the only ones I could find were either not black or at prices no one should even think about paying! One day I was surfing around on UO and found this skirt in the sale down from £40 with only my size left.. now you may not believe in fate but you definitely do now! This skirt is the best thing that has happened to me since my skater skirt. It skims past the chubby bits and is the perfect length. </div>

The only time you will see me wear jeans is on my blog and the last time I actually wore jeans outside my house was probably in 2010. I don't think any of my friends have seen me in them and I doubt my family even remember what I look like in them! I've never found a pair of jeans that look decent on me but I remember watching <a href="http://www.graciefrancesca.com/" target="_blank">Gracie</a>'s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckLMMGDka18" target="_blank">video</a> on "Jeans for Curves" and I know I don't have curves (barley even have a waist) but the way she talked about these sounded like everything I need. They are the most perfect pair of jeans I've ever put on my legs, they tuck me in, feel like cosy cusions and are the perfect mix of jeans and leggings. So I would just like to thank Gracie and ASOS for introducing me to my new bae <3 </div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">Not much has changed since my last post, but I did (if it's not obvious) get my septum pierced! I was getting bored of my nose ring and have always loved septum piercings so I decided I'd go for it. I also got a temporary job at Next for a bit of summer, I actually had my first day today and it was actually quite nice. I am very scared for the sale to start on Saturday though, I do hope the customers don't go all crazy! The last bit of exciting news that I actually recieved today is that I got into university! It feels surreal, I wasn't expecting my results until next month and then all of a sudden I got an email from UCAS telling me my conditional offer has changed to unconditional, I am a very happy girl.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">I've been wanting to feature this white jumper for a couple of months now and it's such a shame that I waited until the colour faded into an off-white to show it! I came across this skirt in Matalan a couple of months ago and thought it was so cute. I never actually bought it as I didn't think it would look right on me but I saw it again when out shopping the other day and saw the £4 price tag and thought it would be rude not to! It's super high waisted and says on the tag that it's part of a two-piece set, it would be lovely to find the top to this as I'm loving co-ords this season. The skirt fits much better than expected, it didn't look very skatery when I first saw it, but on it does! I paired these two items with a nude/pink lip and pointy flats. </span></span></span></div>

Hello all, how are you?<br />
I have been absent from blogging due to life stresses and college work, but yesterday I finally finished my two years at college and am already feeling bored of summer!<br />
<br />
Any hoo, I was so happy to be sent these hotpants from <a href="http://clothesminded.co.uk/" target="_blank">clothesminded</a> as I'm always in the same bottoms, it's nice for a change. I've been wearing these hotpants religiously, they're so comfy and don't stretch after wearing or washing them (winning!).What I love about these hotpants is that they're very weather appropriate and super high waisted! They look great paired with absolutely anything, I almost feel like I should be on a beach! I forgot to take a clear picture but they have two big pockets at the front, such a nice touch and so useful for summer if you don't want to carry around a bag. I paired these pants with another item from clothesminded, it's this tribal print cami that has a fringe, so paired with the hotpants gives off a festival-y vibe! I topped this all off with a red shirt, I'm not one for showing arms so I think this makes a nice cover up.<br />

Hey all, it's good to be blogging again. These last few weeks of college have been stressful and the last remaining weeks are crucial, it's nearly over now and I'm so excited to just relax for the rest of the summer.<br />
<br />
I will be collaborating with one of my favourite online stores, Clothesminded and reviewing some goodie goodies! First, I was sent this beautiful abstract kimono, it's been such a life saver for the hot days we've been having recently. I have a thing about cardigans, coats and all that coming up higher than my waist, I have to have them longer or I won't like it, so it was such a thrill so see this one being the perfect length, it's also super lightweight, good quality and not too sheer. I styled it with just some basic black items and popped on a few rings for that festival-y vibe. This kimono is only <i><b>£5</b></i> on the clothesminded site, all their <a href="http://www.clothesminded.co.uk/clothing/kimonos" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">kimonos</a> are £2-£5 and go back to £10 this coming monday! What a great way to kick off the summer.<br />
<br />
What clothing item will be your summer essential this year?<br />

Dress - H&M | Boots - River Island | Lipstick - Rimmel "Kiss of Life"<br />
<br />
Hello all, happy Friday! I can't believe it's the weekend already, the weeks have been going so fast, I need to catch up. Only four weeks left of education then I am free free free! (well.. not if I don't finish my work!). I bought this dress last month to wear on a night out. I purchased it from H&M for an amazing £7. It is sheer at the top with a V-line that shows off cleavage! The blue parts are velvet and the back is scooped. I never really wear dresses that show so much flesh but I was definitely feeling frisky then! I paired the dress with my River Island boots to keep it casual!<br />

Today was a lovely day to take blog pictures, it makes me so happy how the sun has come out so much these past couple of weeks. I've come to the conclusion that my favourite colour to wear is grey marl, it's versatile and always flattering. This adorable shirt is from LaRedoute and not only is it grey marl, it also has cats all over it! The quality of this shirt is quite amazing, the cats haven't faded and the shirt is still as grey as when I first received it a couple of weeks ago. I picked up this tweed oversized boyfriend coat today in a charity shop (these pictures don't do it justice), Vanese told me not to buy it as we're coming into summer but I just couldn't resist, coats like this are usually around the £40 mark so to find this for £6.50 I didn't really have a choice in the matter! </div>

Two years ago on February 28th 2012 I made this blog. I'm honestly so shocked I've stuck it out for another year as I've been way more busy than when I first started blogging. Since this past year my blog has grown so much; I only had 183 followers and I now have over 300, I produce much better content (I'm loving just doing outfits and wishlists). I just love blogging as it's my own space, I get to do what I want to do and when I want to do it, it's such a fun escape. Here's to another year! <3</div>

On a different note.. a couple of weeks ago I went to Bill's in Covent Garden with <a href="http://www.vanzthemachinee.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Vanese</a> and<a href="http://reasonswhyimbroke.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Sian</a>. I've seen lots of good reviews on Bill's so I was really excited to try it out. When we arrived I fell in love with the scenery, it was all so cute and homey. On the walls were hundreds of sauces that you can purchase, the tables had candles on them and when it got dark they'd light them all up and the room looked so beautiful. When we sat down we were offered drinks and decided to get water, the water came in a large glass jug which was useful since the cups were quite small and it would be annoying to keep asking for more water. </div>

Everything on the menu sounded amazing and I'm pretty sure I've never seen such an inexpensive one before! I went with the Halloumi and Hummus burger with Skinny Sweet Potato Fries which was served on a wooden board, I'm a big lover of hummus, so paired with Halloumi.. I was bound to fall in love. And Underneath is a picture of Vanese's Cod Fish Finger Sandwhich with Fries which she said she also loved!</div>

Bill's was such a nice restaurant and the staff were very friendly, I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to go to out to eat but doesn't want to spend too much.They also have free wifi, so they've basically won me over. I'll definitely be visiting again <3</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Skater Maxi Skirts have become quite popular recently, so on the last day of January I purchased this lovely black pleated maxi skirt from MissLuxe for an amazing price of £15 (I'm almost certain this was the only one under £30). When it arrived I really really loved it, but I had nothing to pair it with, a week later in my two hour lunch break I found this beautiful lace polo top. I wore it with flats because I'm not a fan of heels and anything with a flatform made me look even shorter than I am! I matched the red flats with MAC's Russian Red and popped on a hair donut. I think monochrome always look good with a pop of red.</div>

</center><center>On Friday I spent my evening, night (& morning!) with <a href="http://www.reasonswhyimbroke.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sian</a> and <a href="http://www.vanzthemachinee.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Vanese</a>. We got ready at Sian's - who has an awesome Nikon camera so of course I couldn't not take some good quality pictures, thanks Sian! I bought this crop top from Primark for £10. I never spend over £5 on a single item in Primark but this blouse was totally worth it. I wore Vanese's gold cat necklace that I got her from Topshop for Christmas and wore my skater skirt and belt from New Look, I can't resist a black and gold colour scheme! I saw some other shirts in Primark that I will definitely be going back for, I'm loving their new S/S stock. Even though summer isn't coming anytime soon it's still nice to be able to wear non-knitwear related items.</center><center><br />
</center><center>I've added a new "<a href="http://perksofbeingally.blogspot.co.uk/p/shop-my-closet.html" target="_blank">Shop My Closet</a>" section on my blog. If you don't know what that is, it's where you can quite literally.. buy things from my closet! There's only a few things on there, I have more to add and I have even more items on Depop (username is "AllyRetro").</center><center><br />
</center><center>I've been loving lots of music recently, I've been loving Beyonce's new album (Partition has been on repeat for days!) I've also been loving Bombay Bicycle Club's new album "So Long, See You Tomorrow" one of my favourites from the album is "Come To", this song gives me massive nostalgic feelings, it's a really great song, have a listen. <iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/132075173&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true" width="100%"></iframe></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I paired it with my burgundy cardigan I bought last year in Primark. I do love this cardigan, I just wish it wasn't so bobbly, think I might need to invest in some more! </div>

My phonecase is from <a href="http://mrnutcase.com/" target="_blank">Mr Nutcase</a>. I chose to do a customised one with this 3D cat design I found on Tumblr (and because of the 3D illusion, when I turn on my phone torch it lights up and looks super badass) and then I added "Feline Meow" as a sort of pun! I do wish there were more layouts when designing, but other than that everything else is brilliant. The quality of the case is really good, it doesn't look cheap or show any obvious outlines. The delivery was fast and if you like their Facebook page you get a free screen protector. You can get a case for almost anything that needs a case at an amazing price of only £15!<br />
