Immense Cuteness.





Apologies for lack of updates, hopefully these bundles of fluffy cuteness will make up for it! Today I went to go see my auntie's new puppy, she's is gorgeous! Eeeeh I love her so much already, and I only spent about 20 minutes with her :') She's going to be called Daisy, and even though she was the quietest out of all the pups, you can tell she's going to be a handful! I really like how she's different to the typical border collies you see, like she has spots and dots all over her nose and belly, and a cute little zig zag coming off the back off her collar (the white bit around her neck). She moves into my auntie's house this Sunday and I can't wait to go visit her!

Anyway, yeah sorry I haven't been updating much, even though it's half term I've been busy going into school a lot and just keep forgetting to take pictures in the morning, then when I remember in the afternoon, I'm not looking soo fresh and all my make up has started to slide off and I doubt you'd want to see a picture of me like that :')

Hope everyone's ok, I promise I'll do some more outfit posts soon, and I also have a collective haul I need to talk about too!
Lots of love, Lottie!

(this is Daisy btw! Isn't she adorable!)

Mercury Summer.



Top: H&M♥ Skirt: DIY but originally Primark♥ Leggings: Primark♥ Scarf: River Island♥

Hi guys! Sorry I was MIA last week, I was feeling so poo and literally just lived in my pyjamas, which wouldn't make for very interesting outfit posts! I quite liked what I was wearing today, it's different to the other outfits I've posted here, I liked the clashing patterns of stripes and florals. I really like this circle scarf too, I just wish it was mine! It's actually my Dad's girlfriends, but since they're on holiday I've been taking advantage of her wardrobe heehee!

Tomorrow I'm hopefully stripping my hair with B4 and dying it a nice reddish brown colour, if you guys saw the lovely Milly's London post, her colour in those photos is what I'm aiming for, I have major hair envy haha! I'm going to take pictures throughout the process to show you what the B4's like, I've used it twice before, but when I was using it for the first time, there were no really helpful reviews on it to let me know what I was getting myself in for, or any helpful tips, so hopefully me blogging (and maybe videoing it, eeh!) will help some other people out who want to know about it :)

Hope you're all ok, lots of love!

P.S. I'm watching 16 and Pregnant, they're calling their daughter 'Genesis'. Thoughts? Personally I think it's terrible! That poor child.

Sorry for the filler post, but I'm poorly at the minute! I have a throat infection, which is affecting my asthma too, it's also making me have a weird appetite too, for example I had a craving for cheesy straws from Cooplands yesterday and made my Dad's girlfriend bring me some back from town! Being poorly makes me hanker for savoury foos I think, anyway here's a little questions jobby to replace what would have been an outfit post, since I'm poorly I've not really been bothered to get dressed, I'm currently sat in pyjamas with a blanket round me, not much of an outfit really!

1. What is your dream job?
I'm still not sure what I really want to do for a job, I'm torn between teaching (sensible option) and journalism (not so sensible option) at the minute, which I can go into after doing my English Lit degree, which I start in September, eeeeh! I'm soo excited, anyway if I'm going to be honest I've always really wanted to be an author, ever since I was seven. I love reading and writing, I can't think of a more perfect job for me but again not a very sensible option, but who knows what the future will hold!

2. What is your favourite fragrance for Winter?
I wear Vera Wang Princess all year round!

3. How do you take your tea/coffee?
I only ever really drink coffee, which I have about medium, i.e medium strength and medium amount of milk in it, so not weak, but not to strong either. I only get the craving for tea when I'm poorly for some reason!

4. What is your most important beauty secret?
I don't think I have any! Moisturise lots would probably be it, my Dad's girlfriend says she always moisturised her skin and she's never had any stretch marks, even after 2 kids and lots of weight changes, so I think that's rather a good beauty secret/tip!

5. If you had an all expenses paid vacation, where would you go?
New York, although I don't think I'd ever come back! I've been lucky enough to go to New York twice already and I never wanted to leave, it truly is the most amazing place ever, and now I'm more into fashion as well I think I'd enjoy the experience even more!

6. If a genie popped up in your lap right now and offered you three wishes, what would you ask for?
As selfish as it is, I'd wish to be rich! But I would also wish for all the horrible diseases out there to be cured as well. My mum died of cancer, and I would never want anyone else out there to go what she went through, and what our family has been through, wether it's cancer, or heart disease or whatever it is, there's no reason why would should just cure one thing. As for my third wish, probably all the people who I love the most to just be happy! :)

7. If you could only have breakfast, lunch, dinner or desert foods for the rest of your life, what would you pick?
Dinner foods, without a doubt. I don't really eat breakfast anyway, and I think that most of the things you have for lunch you can have for dinner too, and only eating dinner foods means shepherd's pie and roast dinners a lot more, my favourite!

8. If you were Hello Kitty what colour hair bow would you wear?
Can I have a floral one please!?

9. What is your biggest makeup pet peeve?
Tide lines! Ugh I really hate it when people don't rub there foundation in properly, looks bloody horrible. Especially when their neck is pale, but their face is bright orange. Ughhh.

10. If you could wear only one piece of jewellery for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A necklace my boyfriend bought me for my 18th :)

11. What one talent do you wish you had?
I wish I could sing. I like to think that I can, when I'm singing along loudly to my iTunes, but I know I can't :')

12. Which product will you continue to purchase?
There's too many, but probably foundation, mascara and moisturiser. Not sure which brands, cause I still haven't found the perfect one's of either of them, although for moisturiser it would probably be Palmer's Coco Butter or Soap and Glory The Righteous Butter.

13. If you could look into the future, would you? And what would you like to know?
Ummm I really don't know! Normally I'm one of those people who has to know everything, but I'd be too scared I'd find out something bad then not want to live anymore or something horrible like that!

14. What made you start a blog?
I'd just been following lots of them for ages, and had thought about making one for a long time, and only just built up the courage to do it now!

15. Who is your biggest celebrity crush? Include a picture!
I was thinking about this the other day actually haha, cause I wasn't really sure if I had one! After watching 'Supersizers Eat' constantly these past few days I think it may have to be Giles Coren, or maybe Noel Fielding who I also really like. I really like funny men, if they make me laugh I will fancy them in some way! I also really like dark haired boys, so they both fit the bill, even though they're on complete opposite scales!



(yes I'm very aware I have weird taste men, although I assure you my boyfriend is perfectly normal!)

Anyway, thanks for reading and putting up with a silly filler post while I'm poorly! To make me feel better, why don't you tell me who your celebs crushes are, they can't be much worse than mine!

Just draw another in you think we've crossed a line.



Dress: Topshop♥ Cardigan:George at Asda♥ Scarf: Vintage♥

This evening I went for some lovely Nandos and shopping with my Dad and his girlfriend, and discovered that I'm too tall for maxi dresses! UGH. How can this be? I'm normally a 10 in dresses and skirts, then a 12 in trousers/leggings, partly because I have chunkyish thighs and because I have long legs too (I'm around 5'10/5'11 just to give you an idea)and a ten comes up too short, and a 12 is just too big on the body! I felt like crying in the New Look changing rooms after spotting my perfect maxi dress after trying on countless other maxis, only to find a 10 came just above my ankle, and there was no size 12 to be found on the rack for me to even try :(

Anyway that's my mini rant(or should I say MAXI rant /terrible pun), I did however get some nice hair stuff and some desert boots from Primark instead, I'm planning to go shopping again in half term, so I will probably include them in a haul from that unless you see them on here first. Tomorrow I'm also going to book an eye test, hopefully my local Specsavers will have the Gok Wan range in! Just in case you haven't seen the range you can find them here on the Specsaver's website, and here's some of my favourites from the collection.



Lots of love, Lottie xxxx

Fat Bottomed Girls You Make The Rocking World Go Round.



Dress: Primark♥ Headband: New Look♥

Hi everyone! I hope you're all ok, I'm knackered! I've been really stressed out these past couple of weeks, and it affects my sleep a lot which has led me to trying out lots of different methods to help me get some sleep. So far I can confirm that Night Nurse and Kalms do absolutely nothing to help me get some sleep, sometimes Sominex works and sometimes it doesn't, it's really frustrating! I've also bought some Lush bath stuff in hopes that they will help a little bit, so far I've only used Ikkle Baby Bot ballistic and a bit of Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds bubble bar, and those in conjunction with wine and Sominex worked a treat! Although I'm guessing the wine played the biggest part in me getting a good nights sleep haha, the last time I had a really good sleep was after a night out when I slept from about 2 til 10 in the morning, which is really good for me as I'm an early bird! If you guys have any tips of getting a good's nights sleep please let me know, it'll be really helpful!

Anyway onto my outfit, this dress is about 3 years old I think! And it's from Primark so it's lasted realllllly well! You can't see my necklace to well in these pictures, but it's actually a black rosary necklace with a cameo of Christopher Lee in his role of Dracula on it! I love it, I love all the old Hammer Horror films, and I definately know nobody else will have it either! I also did my nails last night which I'm ridiculously proud of, you'll see those and a close up of my Sherlock Holmes ring below :)

I used Nails Inc Stables Market as my base (good to go in one coat, I love that polish!), then W7 Black for the leopard print, and for the roses Collection 2000 Hot Looks in Ninja for the leaves and Hoola Hoop for the roses, and also Natural Collection Hibiscus for the roses too :)

Hope you all get a good night's sleep!

Mmmm...Topshop.

Yes, it's another Topshop wishlist, but I love it! I think everyone loves Topshop to be honest ;) it's just a little filler post while I try and find the time to do some more interesting posts, I'd like to do a what's in my bag post soon, since I carry my whole life in my bag and it'll be interesting to see what's actually in it!


1. This shirt is so adorable, I love the scalloped peter pan collar and edges and the colour! Oh the colour is beautiful. WANTWANTWANT.
2. I saw this maxi dress today during an English Lit lesson (I'd finished all my work so it was ok!) and fell in love. It's so pretty and flowey, I really want to wear it for my leaver's party, but £75 is a lot especially with 2 birthday's coming up and a holiday and I no longer have a job!
3. I love this dress, so perfect for spring/summer, it's definately something I'd wear a lot, it's soo my style!
4. This skirt and the blue shirt mentioned above would be perfect together! I'd also love it just with a plain white vest and some gladiator sandals.
5. This bag is just pure granny chic. LOVE! It's a holdall, but it doesn't mention sizing on the website, but if it's big enough I may buy this for my holiday, I was planning on taking a huge leather Marc B bag that's known as 'the suitcase' but the zip's broken so I need a new big bag/holdall anyway.
6. This umbrella is ridiculously sweet and cute. I love the fact that's clear too, again I need a new umbrella, I never would normally pay £15 for one, but hopefully it's an investment piece and would last for quite a while, as compared to a £3 one from Primark!

Today's been so odd, earlier me and my Dad's girlfriend, Annette, were sat watching My Super Sweet 16 UK (as you do), when Annette shout's 'LOOK!' and points towards the kitchen door, and a random whippet dog was just stood in the doorway! My dog is such a crap guard dog, she let it walk right in our house! We let it back out on to the street and couldn't figure out how it got in! The fence on our right has a huge panel missing, but there was no way for this dog to get into that garden to come into ours! Then about 5 minutes later another dog appeared in our garden! Turns out they were getting in through a tiny gap in our fence, but it was soo funny and weird! I guess you had to be there :')
Has anything odd happened to you today? Any dogs appeared in your kitchens!? Or do you just want something from Topshop?
xxxx

P.S! In case you haven't already, you should all check out Pearl's new online vintage shop! The price's are soo afforadable and there's some gorgeous pieces, I've got my eye on the pink corsage dress!

Kiss me you animal.



Shirt: Primark♥ Vest top: Topshop♥ Shorts: Zara♥

This is what I wore on Monday, none of my outfits have been interesting since then haha. I felt very Katy Perry in her 'One Of The Boys'days, I think she looked a lot better then personally. Speaking of which, I just downloaded her new album and from the bits I've heard it's terrible. It's such a shame, I really used to love her! She was such a style icon to me back then, I still look over her old pictures for inspiration from time to time.



Anyway, I must stop procrastining and finish off this essay, that isn't even the right essay I should be doing but I'm stupidly tired and I don't care!
