Brighton is full up of vintage stores and quirky clothes shops however, I was especially really excited to pop into Wolf and Gypsy Vintage during my stay there.

Their stock is some of the coolest pieces of second hand clothing, as well as some lovely pieces of jewellery. When I first entered I immediately noticed stripes,denim and mustard yellow- three of my favourite things at the moment.They're pieces are hung nicely on clothing rails which are super easy to to have a mooch through and you can see that although these pieces are vintage they match the current trends of the moment. Most of the items seem to have a 60s/70s style, which I adore, and are in such brilliant condition. There was a mixture of both everyday clothing and some pieces that would be great for dressing up on a night out. The prices are super affordable too, everything falling between about £20-£50.

The interior was right up my street with potted plants, quirky lamp shades and a gorgeous stand alone mirror. The dim lighting created a really chilled mood and I loved the way that the stock was split into men's and women's so it was easy to see what was in store for both genders without having to route through racks and racks of clothes. There were some gorgeous boho style lace dresses hung up in the back which were just truly stunning too!

If you're in Brighton I definitely recommend you stop by and have a little look at what this lovely shop has to offer. Find them at 30 Sydney Street, Brighton, BN1 4EP.

You can't beat a pretty dress...or even a carousel, can you? So why not put the two together.

My dress is a gorgeous dress which i snapped up for just £10 on Boohoo.com. I styled it with my Topshop Mary Jane heels and red lips for a super classic look.

The carousel, as well as Brighton's many other attractions, really brings the place to life and i just think it makes the sea front look very beautiful.

You know how much I love red lipstick right? My collection just keeps growing and growing! But, I often struggle with having to re-apply and re-apply and re-apply. It gets tiring.

So, when me and my friend Annabel took ourselves off shopping, lip stains were truly on the agenda.

Ever since buying this, i honestly can't stop wearing it. I think it is brilliant!  IT DOES NOT BUDGE. First, you apply the red lip gloss and let it dry ( i usually apply two coats), then you apply the clear glossy balm on the other side of the product. Voilà! You've got yourself some long lasting lip colour.

There's a wide range of shades in this collection, from pinks, to more nude tones, but you know i love myself some red. I've eaten and drank, been out all day and this has barely moved an inch! I admit, sometimes i have to touch it up just a little but compared to the amount of times i'd have to re-apply a red lippy, this is no fuss!

Highly recommend!

My first day in Brighton consisted of the long 6 hour car journey and a meal out at Zizzi's in the evening, along with a stroll round a few of the lanes. When we arrived, i fell in love. I really want to live there! I decided that I just had to wear something comfy and simple considering I was going to be stuck in a car for good length of time. So dungarees were a must...

My dungarees are from Matalan and are one of the comfiest pieces in the wardrobe...ever! I styled it up with a basic white shirt from Forever 21 and black pumps from New Look to keep the look minimal.

I really love this outfit and it was perfect for staying comfortable but also for feeling as stylish as possible whilst travelling.

Are you into the dungarees trend?

Topshop Cream Blusher in Flush - Cream blushers are perfect for spring and summer. They're light on the skin and keep you looking lovely and rosy. This colour looks scary in the pan but on, it's a lovely pretty pink!

Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream Nail Polish - If spring isn't the time to be wearing pastels, then when is? This baby pink shade is great for adding a girly vibe to any look.

Real Techniques Buffing Brush - This brush is great for blending in foundation and creating that flawless look that we all want during the warmer weather.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara - For fluttery long lashes that are going to bag you a summer romance...hopefully, grab a hold of this mascara. This is good competition for my favourite Benefit They're Real (That's how much i like it!)

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation - This foundation leaves your skin well covered but feeling like you're barely wearing a thing. It's the best budget foundation i've ever had. Highly Recommend!

On the 25th of April I headed down to Brighton for a long weekend with my Mum and Dad. Brighton is somewhere I have wanted to visit for such a long time and I knew I had to go.

Whilst there we visited some lovely places and I want to share them with you in some upcoming posts.

When we arrived I immediately loved it. The people, the buildings, everything just seemed so perfect to me. We spent a lot of time in the Lanes looking through all the little shops and finding some hidden gems, whilst also sitting in restaurants and cafes watching the world of Brighton go by.

I definitely think I need to live there at some point in my life!

The Make Up. This is going to become a bit of a series here on my blog. Every month, you'll get any insight into what i've been dolling myself up with recently! So here goes..

Now, if you know me, you know I love minimal make up however, this month i'm spicing things up a bit with a bit of shadow and an unusual lip colour for little ol' me.

My base is Bourjois Healthy Mix. This is a beautiful foundation, giving you a healthy looking glow and feeling really light on this skin. The great thing about it is that it still has brilliant coverage fort those blemishes you want to cover. If I'm feeling a bit oily then I'll add a bit of powder using my Mac Mineralize Skin Finish in Natural. It's perfect for just matte-fying your look.

My mascara, is my all time favourite, Benefit They're Real, making my lashes super duper curly. Then for shadow i've been dipping into my beautiful palette and using Mac Cork Eye shadow. I love the way that the brown tone brings out the blue in my eyes and creates a bit of a smoky look.

To contour i love my Nars Laguna Bronzer, i just think it's great for all skin tones, even if you're as pale as me!

To fill in my brows i use a Mac Eye Brow Pencil or any old pencil really, i'm too fussy when it comes to what i use to do my brows. However, i'd really love some suggestions! Should i give Soap and Glory a go?

On my lips is where things might shock you. There isn't a red lipstick *gasp*! Yes, recently i've been loving Mac's Kinda Sexy, a matte nude (not usually my style) and i've really enjoyed wearing it.

For fragrance, i've been enjoying Valentina by Valentino! It's a lovely floral fragrance, great for spring.

I really hope you like this post and the concept, let me know!
