Hi guys! So, I'm not proud to admit that I am completely and utterly addicted to all LUSH products, and probably use one at least once a week. Saying this, I thought I'd show you one that I've been adoring at the moment, and have repurchased about 4 times now! It's called 'Granny takes a dip' (not sure what that's supposed to insinuate). It has a sweet aromatic scent, that actually lasts on your skin for the rest of the day, plus, it turns your bath pink! - what more do we want?
So, I hope this helps as I know it can be a bit overwhelming if you don't really know what you're looking for! Until the next one (I promise I'll start writing reguarly!)
Thanks for reading!

My Holiday to Barbados!
Saturday, 23rd of August, 2014
Recently, I was lucky enough to go on a family holiday to the gorgeous Caribbean island, Barbados. It is fair to say I have never in my life been so excited for anything, and luckily enough it exceeded my expectations! I am actually half Bajan anyways, and just so happen to have alot of relatives out there that I got to meet. Despite this, being born and raised in England, and only visiting the beautiful island twice before, I definitely appreciated my surroundings. It is honestly such a friendly island, with everyone looking to be helpful and welcoming. Plus the astonishing views do not disappoint! One thing that I have to mention, is the food. I have never enjoyed food so much in my entire life, and if you know me, you probably didn't think that was possible. This food was so good I managed to eat myself until I was 8 pounds heavier! The worst part is I didn't even care because it was SO worth it!
As this holiday was near enough the best two weeks I've ever had, it's only fair that I share some of my snaps with you right? Well here they are!
How insane was the view from our balcony?! So relaxing.
The most common drink other than Rum and Coke in Barbados is definitely, rum punch. So yummy but has a bit of a kick to it!
Shoes are from Primark, only £5! Bargain!
Sweet potato fries and fishcakes...can still taste them now!
Me and my lovely sister, Leonie
Dancing with some family, why not?

Oh my life..this food was honestly the best thing I have ever tasted.
Cheeky family shot
We were pretty excited to get on the jet ski..
Holding on for dear life..

Hope you enjoy these pictures from my holiday! I definitely enjoyed taking them and think they turned out brilliantly! If you enjoyed this post free to let me know, thanks for reading.

Online Loves of the Month!
So, as I spend 95% of my time on-line shopping (usually when I am waiting to be paid), I thought I'd show you all exactly what pieces have recently caught my eye in the past month!
I've been searching for a staple pair of shorts for what seems like a lifetime, and these fill that void perfectly! The nude will go perfectly with anything and could be styled for going out or day to day.
I'd be lying if I said that these shoes were by any means necessary in my wardrobe..but that that doesn't stop me from wanting them any less! These shoes would look absolutely amazing with a simple black/white outfit, possibly with a matching pink feature lipstick.
This skort is definitely 'in' at the moment, and despite the trend being around for a while, I still hadn't quite managed to find one that looked like it was good quality enough (up until now that is). Definitely excited to style this piece.
I have been eyeing this jumpsuit up for weeks now, and with it being pushed back to £19 it is fair to say it is an absolute bargain.
One thing you will soon learn about me is my love of tailored shorts! Can't get enough of them, and these would be a lovely addition.
This skirt is so feminine and cute, and with a nice a-line fit it would be extremely flattering to most figures.
This playsuit is most definitely one of my favourites out of them all! The cut out shoulder adds a lovely touch, and is also perfect if you're like me and would prefer not to have your full arms out on show!
Due to not actually owning a clutch bag myself, I have been on the hunt for a stylish yet basic clutch and with the texture, and the feature of the pearl finish I think I may have found it!
Like many of us, I own about 30 crop tops, majority of which are black and white. So in order to spice up my range, this orange twist top would do a good job at making any outfit that bit more interesting.
I am in love with these chunky heels! Being tall really is a burden when it comes to heels, but these shoes would not add too much height and are a gorgeous colour and design. Perfect!
Now I'm not sure if the model is making this top even more desirable, but nevertheless the top would be extremely flattering on, especially if you have a glowing tan like she does.
To me, this is the ultimate dress! The colour, the fit and the feature of the low cut neckline all work so well. This is definitely a dress to put on when you have some impressing to do.
After finding the black boots from new look, I thought a white pair may look just as good (if not better). To my surprise I found the perfect pair, which I think are a little bit more high fashion than the black pair.
Although summer is over, pop a pair of tights on with these shorts and your good to go. They have a lovely khaki colour which is available and is most definitely suitable for winter time!
Being in need of a new bag to take to 6th form, I was obviously on the look out. River Island are known for their beautiful bags and this is no exception. The contrast between the two colours I think actually make the bag, with functional and practical sizing.
Last but not least, Topshop Chealsea Boots. I mean in all honesty, who doesn't need a pair of these? These are a staple pair of shoes that you could easily live in, and still look like you've made an effort.

First Blog Post ever!
Hello everyone! My name is Lara, and I thought I'd give blogging ago (considering talking seems to be the one thing I can do successfully). I am 17 years old, live in a fairly boring average town in the middle of England, and would like to share with you aspects of my life; including fashion, beauty, general tips and offering as much as I can! I'll hopefully be updating this blog very regularly (at least once a week) with different and fun posts. If any of that sounds good to you, don't forget to press the cheeky follow button so you can see more of me! Thanks for reading and hope you stick around to experience the journey!
Lara xoxo
