Starting Off: Skincare

Hello all, you may have seen on Twitter already that there is a brand new blogger project that has been started by the lovely Steph over at Steph's Inside Voice. The Starting Off Project aims for bloggers to get involved and share their experiences and usage of different beauty products every week as part of a 10 week series. These posts will hopefully help people who are new to using beauty products or to those who are just looking for some beauty tips and to discover new products! When I saw Steph's tweets, I knew I had to get involved with this and at the moment there are 120 bloggers that are part of the project! I know it's going to be amazing to see everyone's recommendations and experiences with different products.

V Festival Style

Last weekend I went to V Festival for the first time! I haven't really been to a proper festival before, a few years ago I went to Parklife for the day as it was literally in the park a couple of hours from my Uni halls in Manchester, but that's the most experience of a festival I've had! I was especially excited to land tickets for this as me and my friends *finally* got to see our idol Beyonce, earlier this year we had 5 computers on the go trying to apply for tickets for her tour but didn't get anywhere, so the fact we got to see Beyonce amongst many other great acts was very exciting for us!

Beauty Haul // Boots

Hey Girls! Now if you follow me on twitter (@Fashion_IOR), you will have seen that I mentioned doing a mega Boots haul the other week, I don't know what I've been doing all this time to be only posting this now, I seem to be getting distracted by all these blogger chats in the evenings! Anyway better late than never. This must be the one of the biggest shopping sprees I've done in Boots since going on holiday, but it was my first full time pay day for my placement year, so I thought I'd just go for it! Boots is one of my favourite places to shop in, I just love finding all the new products and trying them out, I'm literally like a kid in a candy store! I could spend hours at all the make up counters and poring over the shiny bottles of hair products and I think I get excited at the prospect of finding a new look. I can safely say I'm probably stocked up for a while, though I'm sure I'll see something new and sparkly soon and I'll be totting up the Advantage points once again!

And the Leibster award goes to..

Hello all! Over the weekend I was lucky enough to be nominated not once, but twice for the Leibster blog award! I was nominated by Stylish England and KAYLALISCIOUS and I'm so appreciative as it's brilliant to know that people are actually reading my blog posts and liking what I write, as a new blogger it's great to know I'm on the right track and people recognise the time and effort that I put into my blog.

The Leibster Award is a blog award to give recognition to new and upcoming bloggers with less than 200 followers. If you are nominated, you then nominate 11 other bloggers with less than 200 followers to spread the love amongst new bloggers. It can be hard starting out in the saturated blogging world so this award helps to encourage people to keep doing what they do!

Fashion Haul // ASOS

Hello all! Once again I have let go of the purse strings and done another online shop - somebody really needs to block my bank accounts, all I seem to have done lately is shop, maybe it's because it was my first full time pay day recently or maybe it's just because I have no self control, I don't know - maybe a bit of a combination of the two! But yes, I have been naughty and bought some new clothes from ASOS, I have only purchased off ASOS once before, I am one of those people who likes to try before they buy and with ASOS being a pureplayer obviously I can't do that, but I thought I'd give it a go as I do love the clothes on their website and I always have the option to return them for free if they didn't suit me.

I bought a mixture items that won't necessarily be worn together, but I wanted some wardrobe staples as well as a few patterned statement pieces. I had double the amount that I bought in my original basket, so I did have *some* restraint, but I may always go back- especially as I recently won a £20 ASOS voucher for this post on how to get your wardrobe for less! This was my first EVER blog competition entry and I was so pleased to be a runner up in this contest, hopefully I'll have the chance to enter more and see if my lucky streak continues! Anyway I'll stop waffling and show you what I bought in my latest fashion haul.
