What's In My Suitcase?

As you probably all know, at the moment I am away in California, so I thought you would all like to know what clothes I packed in my suitcase!

I love this suitcase and as you all probably guessed, it is pink! I have had for over 5 years now and it has been on many adventures with me! My little cat sticker is something I picked up in Hawaii, so now he is my little lucky cat for taking care of my case! It also means that I know the case is definitely mine! I get so worried about it when we are going on a plane, it would be my worst nightmare if it got lost!! So anyways, we shall now go onto the good bit of what is inside!!

Ok so, most of you know that I am quite a casual girl and that I am always in jeans! Bear that in mind when you see the next photo, because thats the only bottom half I am taking with me!! Hehe, also I don't think it is the time of year for wearing shorts over there at the moment, I might be wrong an if I am I will just buy some when I am there!

Bright pink jeans from River Island, Jeans from Hollister, Raspberry coloured jeans from Monsoon and Beige jeans from River Island!

Now onto jumpers and cardigans, to keep me warm if it gets a bit chilly! I'm usually always cold, so these will be needed!!

Pink sweatshirt from River Island, Blue sweatshirt from Gilly Hicks (as if you couldn't guess?!!), Navy marl hoodie from Topshop and Grey furry hoodie from Abercrombie & Fitch.

Beige cardigan from New Look, Navy cardigan from Fat Face, Grey cardigan with flowers from Hollister and Bright pink cardigan from Abercrombie & Fitch.

Tops now and basically all of these are tshirts! Robert and I are quite casual on holiday, so these are what we wear most! I would wear one of these each day, so hence why there are so many! So I will go left to right along the rows!

Top row: Navy long sleeve top from Hollister, Turquoise tshirt from Hollister, Coral peter pan collar top from New Look, Rose print tshirt from River Island and White marl tshirt from H&M.

Middle row: Purple tshirt from H&M, Light blue tshirt from New Look, Turquoise three quarter length sleeve top from Next, Navy tshirt from Fat Face, Pink and white stripe tshirt from Hollister and Lilac tshirt from H&M.

Bottom row: Cream tshirt from Fat Face, Pink long sleeve top from Hollister, White zebra tshirt from River Island and Blue paisley print tshirt from New Look.

Scarves are my most favourite accessory, so I have chosen these ones to take! Believe me it was a hard choice!! Haha.

Purple and navy flower circle scarf from Fat Face, Pink, blue, navy and yellow printed circle scarf from River Island, Navy candy skulls scarf from Accessorize and Coral heart printed circle scarf from Fat Face!

Then just a small selection of shoes, that will be comfy for walking when away!

Adidas coral pink hi top trainers from JD Sports, Nautical flats from River Island, Light blue flower ballet pumps from Accessorize and Sandals from Next.

Then just so other items that I am gong to be taking with me;

Black Leather bag from Accessorize, Pink Tangle Teezer, Silver watch from Fossil, USA plug adapters and Sunglasses and case from Accessorize!

Now obviously I have things like underwear and toiletries going with me too, but I just thought I would show you the good bits from my case! I have got 23kg weight limit, which is really good and hopefully I will be a bit under that so I will easily be able to bring lots of goodies back with me!

Hope you enjoyed this post girls! I know I love to see what clothes people are taking on holiday with them!

Dare To Go Bare Faced?!

Hi girls!

Today's post is a bit of a different one... One without make up. I love make up and love the feeling when I am all done up and feel pretty, and I think most of us girls do, although most days I am make up free, except for maybe some concealer,which is mostly down to my dry skin. However, I think everyone should do a post like this, and yes even beauty bloggers, to show that just because we love make up and feel better with "our face on", that it is possible, for even just one photo, to be without it. So here I am, without a scratch of make up and with absolutely no computer touch ups (except cropping the photo), just straight from the camera to the Blog...

Yes I have dark circles under my eyes, I have hardly any tails to my eye brows, I have some redness due to my eczema and I have a little spot scarring on my fore head, but this is me!!! 

You should not be scared of having a bare face, because it is your face and no one is perfect! Most of the time Robert says he prefers me with no make up and natural (which I don't understand, but he says it all he time!). Do your men say the same?

Do you wear make up everyday? And feel like you couldn't go out with out it on? Well I think you should be brave and ditch the make up for a day! You should not be ashamed of what the real you looks like and your skin should have some days to breathe without make up on, I'm sure it would love you for it! 

Do you dare to go bare faced?!

Nails Of The Holiday!

Usually you will see Nails of the Day posts (NOTD), but in this post it is nails of the holiday, because my nails will last me the whole two weeks!!

I wrote a post about Calgel and told you all how much I love it! Well for special occasions like a holiday I treat myself and get a Calgel manicure! I love it, because it can last up to three weeks and it also helps me stop scratching at my eczema funnily enough! So I got it done and here is the amazing result!

Crazy Hand!! Haha

Flash on

I choose a really corally light pink colour (number 37 for all you Calgel lovers) and then a glitter called Candy Pink was applied over the top. The glitter is amazing through it, as it has loads of blue and purple sparkles and it just looks fab! The photos do not do the glitter justice at all!!! With flash on it looks a lot redder than it is, but that is because the glitter has darker pink sparkles through it and this is what is showing up! I love just how bright and girly it has turned out! What do you think?! I love it!! Hehe, I would definitely recommend Calgel to any one! Especially if you are looking for a long lasting nail colour, which does not chip AT ALL and is so much kinder to your nails than acryllic!

Have any of you girls tried a Calgel manicure before? If so let me know what you thought and what colour your nails were!

Away To The USA!!!

Hi girls!!

So when this is published I will be on a plane on my way to San Francisco!! I am sure most of you know that I am away to the USA for just over two weeks, and the time has finally come for me to go! Robert and I booked it way back in July, so it has been a long time coming!!

I have scheduled lots of fab posts for you all, while I am away, so definitely keep an eye out for them! I do have my laptop with me, so I will be able to reply to  your comments as per usual! 

I thought I would also give you a little run down of Robert and I's Itinerary, because its a busy one! We are staying in San Francisco for 3 nights and then getting an early flight to Los Angeles. Staying in Anaheim for 5 nights, but visiting LA while we are there, as we are hiring a car and are hoping we will get a Mustang!! My total dream car! hen we will drive down to San Diego for just two nights, we would have loved to get more time here, but are just so glad we get to go!! Then we are driving over to Las Vegas! We were there last year, but hardly saw any of it, so we have more time here and are staying 4 nights! Then it is sadly back home! 

We have just got so so much planned out for this trip and we have loads of tickets booked for it already! I don't want to give it all away, so you might just have to wait for the posts I will be doing when I return! Holiday posts are most definitely one of my most favourite to write about and also read! So I hope you enjoy them when they are on my blog! 

Also if you want to keep in touch with me or stay updated with our adventure, the best thing to do would be to follow me on Twitter and Instagram! As I should be updating that regularly! My usernames for both of them are @Jenstar_Blonde

So girlies I hope you all have a good couple of weeks and I shall be seeing you back in two weeks!! Woohoo! I shall miss reading all my favourite blogs!

Love, Jen x
