Hello lovely followers and whoever else has stumbled upon this post, I’ve decided to make the transition from wordpress to blogger, meaning I will no longer be blogging on this site.
My new blog is; www.peaceloveandthreepointfiveinches.blogspot.com (bit of a mouthful)
I’ve decided to change due to it being just that little bit easier of me to fashion blog on blogger.
I hope to see you all on the other side!

So today is my last day of being a teenager as I turn the gracious age of 20 tomorrow! I’m lucky enough to have a bank holiday birthday and not be stuck in the mud at Leeds, so tonight will be full of gin and celebrating! I’ll do another post on Tuesday of what I wore on my birthday!
first up its my early birthday present in the form of my Jeffrey Campbell boots. Had to share a picture of these – I’m in heaven! Will be testing out how comfy they are tonight!
I’ve been searching for the perfect eyelashes for years now and I’ve finally found them in the form of 107 eyelure! Had to share these too!
little bit sick of wearing jumpers in August now!
jumper and jeans – topshop
jumper and necklace – h&m
channelled my inner goth
everything Topshop!

Unfortunately this is going to be a really short post, as I’ve not really been anywhere this week and when I have I’ve forgot to take photographs! I finally get Internet this week, so normal blogging will resume. Thankyou all for being so patient with me!

wanted to mention this jacket from topshop, had my eye on it for ages, but at £52 couldn’t really justify it. So I went to a vintage shop and snapped one up for £20. I’m going to stud it myself. I’ll post a tutorial when I get round to doing it.

Had abit of a hair crisis this last week, after having my bonded extensions took out I was stuck with a shoulder length bob, so I experimented with 24″ extensions. bad move. Then after dying my hair with nice n easy dark brown, it turned black. So I’ve now got a black shoulder length bob, thickened out with extensions. Finally happy.

So I’m going to try something new on my blog. From the word go my target audience had always been girls like me, students on a budget, and although I feel I’ve helped with the styling and beauty I want to widen briefly into cooking, which is rapidly growing into a huge passion of mine. all meals will cost under £20 to make!
Any feedback would be great!

One July favourite has to be the DIY dip dying I’ve been trying out! Customising clothing IS the way forward
50 shades of grey trilogy. Although arguably not the best books ever written, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed them and they’ve brought back my love of reading!
got these tony and guy products in boots for 3 for £10. I wasn’t a major tony and guy fan but I thought id give this new collection a chance. They have totally saved my hair! My hair is now in the best condition it’s been in a long time, so soft and shiny. Will definitely be buying again!
I was in desperate need of some perfume to tie me over until my birthday in late August. This new ghost perfume was on offer in the fragrance shop for £23. The notes are nothing like other ghost fragrances, this scent is much more classic and sophisticated, and lasts such a long time.
the best drink ever, seriously.
my housemate actually gave me these Lancôme cleanser and toner samples, and I’m now on the hunt for the real deal sizes! This has got to be the best cleanser and toner I’ve ever used, after 3 days my skin was much much clearer, and im now a lot happier wearing no make-up.
I bought this kit before benicassim to tint my eyebrows. It cost me around £4 so I was abit sceptical about the results. However, this kit worked really well and the results lasted about 2 weeks. It’s so easy to do aswell. Definitely one of my favourite beauty buys!
and finally this St Tropez gradual tan. The smells abit powerful but the results are great! Something I’ll definatley buy again!
What are your July favourites?

I’ve been dying to try this primer for ages now, and much to my luck or my bank balances, it was in duty free on the way back from Benicassim, so I managed to snub it for £19 rather than the RRP of £25.

This primer boasts;
” Create a perfect canvas for foundation application with this silky blend of vitamins A & E, grape seed extract and green tea. The totally unique formula helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores for visibly softer skin. Wear under foundation to increase it’s longevity, or alone for a velvety-smooth finish. Apply a pea-sized amount to clean or moisturised skin using fingertips for complexion perfection.”
The first thing I learnt about this primer is a little bit really does go a long way. It smooths on to the skin really easy and really is so silky and so smooth, it felt amazing when I was applying to my skin. Once applied my face felt so fresh and was so smooth. The primer sits on one perfect level, filling in any pores and covering any spots. It made my make-up sit on all one level creating a much more dewy effect and making my make-up look smoother, and it certainly lasted longer. The smell is really desirable too, and I can only describe it as the same smell of Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse. In conclusion, I’ve been wearing this primer everyday now and I will continue to wear it, and definitely buy it again!

I’ve been dying to try out my own diy dip dye clothing for a while now, and after seeing it on various other fashion blogs and seeing how easy it is to do, I set about doing it today whilst the weather was glorious, and I was up bright and early for the dentist.
Hope you enjoy!

Firstly, you have to pick the garments you want to dye. I chose Primark mens section for this, to give a loose and baggy feel. I bought a plain white long sleeved shirt, not sure what size I just picked up any, two plain white vests in large and two medium short sleeved t-shirts. I managed to buy all these for a respectable £15, which is seriously cheap.
For the DIY DIP DYE you’ll need:
- The item you want to dip dye
- Rubber Gloves (Please do use them, I didn’t and my hands are now completely stained)
- Washing up bowl
- Salt
- Warm water
- Boxes (I used old chinese takeaway ones)
You’ll also need your dye, I chose Nylon fabric dye as I’ve used it since school, I picked up four packets from Wilkinsons for £3 each. The one’s I bought where; Dark Green, Tulip Red, Bahama Blue and Powder Pink.
2. Follow the instructions on the packet to add the correct amount of warm water and salt in the mixing bowl.
3. Add the first amount of powder in bowl one, then move your garment slowly out the water, add the 2nd tub of powder the the remaining 2/3rds of the garment, then the final tub to the final section. This will create the effect of dip dye in three gradients.
4. Then hang up your garments to dry.
Here’s how mine turned out;
Powder Pink
Dark Green
Bahama Blue
Tulip Red
Have you tried the diy dip dye yet? Will you be trying it?
