THE WATER FRONT


This half term my family and I headed down to Devon for the week, and one Sunday we went down to a new restaurant which we discovered online and decided to have a try. The place was utterly gorgeous and there was bunting and pots of little red flowers and I kinda sat there rocking back and forth in excitement. 

This restaurant was called 'Water Front' and is quite literally, right on the water front of the Exmouth Bay. I had the 'Scallop Caesar Salad' along with a few of my sisters chips and 'Raspberry Crush Drink' which was lovely and I really recommend as I am sure you can purchase this elsewhere. If you're looking at the website, it's not really that great, but don't be fooled, trust me when you get there it's such a beautiful place with a great view of the sea.

W7 LIGHTLY TOASTED



Okay, can we just have a moments silence for the beauty of this product. Thank you.

It was love at first sight when I was trying to find a new selection of eyeshadow colours, and when it came to choosing between a Two Faced Romantic Eye palette and W7 Lightly Toasted palette. W7 Lightly Toasted was a definite winner.

First of all, the shades are so very very fab and pretty much exactly the same as the Urban Decay Naked palette, but a lot cheaper and a very similar amazing quality as well as flawless pigmenting. The colour variety is beautiful and is an assortment of lights and darks on a more of a brown, autumnal level. This obviously means there are so many different 'looks' that you can choose from, for example a heavy smokey eye to a light brown one and eeee, it's just perfection and makes me so happy! Ahaha...I don't know how I have friends.

The eyeshadow being quite pigmented also means that it is long lasting, and when I say long lasting, I mean forgetting to take your make off from the previous night and it staying pretty much in place. (I'm also not suggesting to keep your make up on overnight as your skin needs to breathe and keeping make up on when you're sleeping clogs up the pores, so I would suggest to remove all your make up before hand going to bed.) I would, however suggest to prime your eyes before applying to avoid any awkward crinkles, if you get what I mean? No? Ah, okay.

COORDINATION APPRECIATION


I'm a big huge crazy super stalker kind of fan of T-Swizzle (Taylor Swift for those not in the fandom) and of course being a fan I tend to 'examine' her clothing choices and may I just say it is pretty damn perfect.

So mid girl crush I went shopping in Kingston and I got a tad excited when I found the shop, Glamorous. It's stock is crazy amazing and ugh, just you could eat it.
Okay wow that's not normal.

 Anyway, tracking back, Taylor Swift wears a lot of coordinated stuff which some would say is just a little bit too much, but I think it's just extremely brave. So when I got into this shop, I picked up a few things including the top for this outfit, but later I found myself walking back to the rack to pick up the shorts. Snaps for Katie for continuing the trend of spending all her money in one shop. How have I not learnt yet?!

 The pattern and colour scheme is very brave even for just the t-shirt, as you can see, but with the shorts it A, worked, B, was even more brave. So skipping along to the counter I bought the whole co-ord outfit and felt very proud of myself.

You can also see that I am wearing a Tommy Hilfiger shirt, which I found whilst scavenging through my mums closet. This overthrow goes with pretty much everything and is perfect for that awkward Summer/Autumn stage because when you're cold you can just throw it over the top of whatever you're wearing. And of course I am also wearing my Frieda Black Suede shoes, which these is a post about here.
