Happy New Year everyone, hope you all had a wonderful Christmas (to those who celebrate it) and a good New Years! The year went by so fast, hopefully 2013 will slow down a little bit. Since 2012 is over I thought I'd do a post on all my favourite items from that year which I'm sure will follow me unto this year lol. I left my camera at University and tried to take pictures of the items on my phone but that didn't go too well. So hopefully I'll be able to get images from google or post the pictures up when I get back to Uni, so here goes:
1. TOPSHOP VECTRAS
I lived in these shoes once I got them, they literally go with everything and are so comfortable to walk in! You've just got to make sure you don't scratch your ankles with the studs which I have done on many occasions *sigh* lol.
2. TOPSHOP PARKA JACKET
This wasn't the warmest jacket for the winter but I couldn't help wearing it and braving the freezing cold! It was so easy to throw on in the mornings before Uni and goes with a lot of the things in my wardrobe, it's also great for layering.
3. TOPSHOP LEATHER JACKET
I got this at the beginning of 2012 and once I got it I couldn't leave it alone. It's a leather jacket which looks great to dress up with a pair of heels but also looks great casual, I think they still sell it now and I would definitely recommend it.
4. VINTAGE LEVI SHORTS
These shorts are a life saver for when you don't know what to wear, I would say these are my 'go-to' shorts. They look good with a checkered shirt, crop top, jumper or a plain old t-shirt, I think this is why I love them so much because they go with everything.
5. NIKE BLAZERS
I really do like Nike Blazers I feel they are just as versatile as Vans or Converse. You can switch it up with a skirt or a pair of jeans, they also very comfortable!
6. BEANIE HATS
Beanie hats were such life savers for me this year especially when I was having a bad hair day, they were also very convenient on keeping my ears and head warm during the colder months.
7. ZARA CHAIN BAG
Love this chain bag, its great for a casual day out but also perfect for a night out whereby you can make it into a clutch bag and carry all your necessities for your night out.
8. ZARA BOX BAG
This is definitely my 'go-to' bag, its a great size and can be held on the shoulder with its strap or held by the handles. Its also great for jazzing up a plain outfit.
9. NEUTROGENA BLACKHEAD ELIMINATING SCRUB
I don't have a lot of spots but every now and again I'll gain the odd spot and sometimes they leave a blackhead behind. So I thought I'd try out this blackhead eliminating scrub and its great I really do like it, its reducing the visibility of the blackhead mark and makes your face feel so soft after using it!
9. MAC FACE AND BODY FOUNDATION
Face and body has got to be my favourite MAC foundation, I first purchased Studio Fix fluid and felt it was to heavy on my face so I switched to face and body and I'm so glad I did. I don't wear make-up on a daily basis and when I do I don't like my face to look 'cakey' and this definitely is a great foundation for this. I recommend this to anyone who likes a sheer foundation with quite light coverage!
10. LA COLOURS NAIL VARNISH
LA colours is a nail varnish brand me and my friend found whilst shopping in Westfield in a shop called Beauty Base. When we first saw the price and range of colours they had we couldn't believe our eyes lol! Every colour you could possibly want for £1, it doesn't last extremely long but for what its worth it does a pretty good job.
What are your favourite items from 2012?
Hope you enjoyed this post!
