I Love Spring Tag- A Few Spring Favourites

I have seen the 'I Love Spring' tag floating around and I thought I'd do one for myself. So far this year I am not loving Spring. At the moment I'm sat indoors whilst there is snow on the ground anticipated the next week when more of it is forecast! However, I do love Spring for the Easter Celebrations, Flowers and beautiful vibrant colours it brings! On this post I have put some of my favourite Springy kind of  items! I'm not very fashionable or up to date on the latest and greatest but here's my personal little interpretation!

This is a photograph I took last year for A Level Textiles

 Both pairs of these shoes I brought in Winter. They were both marked down for £3! I thought these would be fantastic for Spring/Summer and for the price I thought, well why not? I need to keep telling myself to wear these a little more than I am doing! I think I will mostly wear them with jeans or leggings. They're Primark shoes so obviously they're not very protective or good quality so be warned!

The smells of spring! These little Yankee Candle tester are fabulous! In the majority of places they retail for less than £2. This is a great price considering they do last for a good time and they all smells amazing. For spring I think the best scents are Fresh Cut Roses and Sweet Pea. Both smells are very refreshing and remind me of relaxing in my garden on a gentle Spring afternoon.

I picked this up from Primark for £3.50 a few weeks ago. I really enjoy wearing this with my skirts, it's so comfortable. It is a dip hem crop top so I wouldn't really wear unless it was tucked into something. I really like the feather print, I think it ties in well with the whole Spring theme. Simple, comfortable and cheap; that's all I really ask for in vest top! 

Primark- £3.50

This next top is slightly random but I really wanted to share it on my blog. I love this top. I love the silly little saying on it and the quirky moustache. This was (I think) £3 from Primark. It's another cheap top but great to wear those lazy Easter holidays day. 

Primark- £3 (I think)

I have a feeling this Spring my dress obsession will be returning! This little number was £5, which is a real bargain for a cheap Spring/Summer dress. They also do it in other colours such as, pink, red, black and maybe a few more. These dresses are super comfortable and suit the Spring season perfectly. 

Primark £5

Necklaces add so much to an outfit and can make your clothes look much more pricey. I have wanted a bird cage necklace for so long but I was getting very impatient looking for one in shops. Eventually I looked on Ebay and this was the first thing that popped up. The necklace was very cheap so it isn't the best of quality! It has a rustic feel to it and I really do like wearing it! Sometimes you can get a good deal on Ebay.

I have recently started following Lily Pebbles blog and watching her youtube channel. I also follow her on Instagram and the other day she posted the most beautiful nails. The nails below are inspired by her picture. They're supposed to be ombre kind of looking but I didn't have the right colours so I improvised! I didn't quite know how these nails would work but actually having different colours on each nail looks very pretty. (Apologises about the scruffiness). I think throughout Spring I'll give this a try with a blue and a pink theme and see how they look. But for now, I'm really loving these red toned nails.

I brought this lipstick back in October for nights out. I think now Spring is here this is the one of the best shades I could have chosen. It's from the Nicki Minaj collection so it's very vibrant. This lip with natural or smokey eyes will look amazing. There is a vibrant these rolling throughout this Spring and a bright lipstick is perfect to create an Easter glow.

MAC Lipstick- £14

Another recent clothing purchase was this jumper. I'm afraid this Spring isn't looking too warm so one of these is needed at the moment! However, it is light weight and very baggy so it would be okay for those slighter warmer days. I love the colour of this; everything this colour seems to be catching my eye at the moment! This jumper is very good quality and as it is New Look I believe it will last much longer than the dupes in Primark! It also has a dip hem so it is acceptable to wear this with leggings as it at least covers my bum!


Jumper- Newlook £7

Finally, my favourite Spring nail colours! Pastel colours are very popular at the moment and I think as the weeks get warmer pastel will be popping up everywhere! At the moment I am loving, Models Own 'Blooboo' and Barry M 'Berry'. Pastels are very popular as a nail colour because they make you appear more tanned than you actually are! For a perfect Spring nail collection I'm aiming to add a bright pink, mint green and an creamy colour. These colours will look fabulous on nails throughout Spring and carried on into Summer. 

Models Own- Boots £5
Barry M- Boots £2.99

Thanks a wrap for my 'I Love Spring' tag. I know it's a slightly random post but I just thought I'd cooperate some recent purchases with the Spring theme!
