What's New In Jess' . . . Closet? | Primark Aviator Sunglasses

Hi guys!

Little old me took a trip to Primark (well not on purpose!) and I bought a couple of things, these amazing sunglasses were one of the things.

I was going to put everything all in one post but I took some pictures and I didn't really like them #bloggerproblems! Also, I wasn't sure if I was going to keep them as they were impulse buys *slaps wrists*

If you saw my April Lust List, I mentioned that I had me eye on a pair of amazing sunglasses. I was obsessing over the Indie Dapper Hipster Flat Top Vintage Aviator Sunglasses from Zero UV, they were $10.95 which converted to pounds is £6.54, bargain for a pair of beautiful sunglasses.

Well, knowing me, I always want to get something cheaper and instantly. Ordering things online especially from abroad can aggravate me because there's always a problem and I didn't want to take that risk.

So when I took a trip to Primark and saw these sunnies just sitting among the others and picked them up without hestitation, I hadn't even looked at price until I put them on the till. 

I knew they couldn't be any more than £3 anyway and I was right, they were an amazing £2, bargain or what?

I can't wait to wear them this Summer, they're so chic! I wish they had them with gold accents but when I saw them, I needed them in my life. When I go back to Primark, I'm going to keep a look out for a gold accent pair because Primark constantly rotate their stock.

If you haven't been to Primark this Spring (I'm sure you all have!), I really suggest you do, they have some gorgeous pieces in. I wanted to buy so many things but I wasn't really prepared for a huge shop so next time I go in, I'm going to be more than prepared to tackle the streams of people and carry a few heavy bags home!

Have any of you been to Primark lately? What did you pick up? Feel free to leave links for me to check out your hauls!

Throwback Thursday | Paco Rabanne S/S12

Hey everyone!

The week's nearly finished, boo for me, I'm on a half term break and I'm dreading going back to college, I have so much work to do. *cries*

Oh, apologies for missing last week's Throwback post (if you were looking forward to it, that is haha)!

This week, I have a throwback that is very close to my heart, I researched this collection like crazy for a college project, being very inspired by it.

All I can say about this collection is chainmail and metallic.

It's amazing!

The fact that someone cut up these pieces and put them all together is crazy, the garments fit the body like a glove. I'm guessing the skin must've been pinched a few times!

When you look at a collection that is full off metallic this and that, you can be put off quite quickly but when you look past that, the detailing is what makes the collection.

Definitely going to be referring to this collection any chance I can.

What do you guys think?

Thanks for reading,

NEW NAILS | On Trend with Powder Blue

6 weeks later.

Hiya!

Nothing better than fresh nails and fresh hair! You feel so good afterwards, just the feeling of being pampered and not having to do anything for that hour and a half is so relaxing and freeing.

I went in midday, I love my nail shop, I love the fact that you don't have to book an appointment and even when it's busy in there, you never wait longer than 15 minutes to be seen.

I'd say the whole process was complete in an hour and 20-25 minutes. If I didn't spend nearly a third of the time under the dryer (any excuse to sit and relax!) I would've been out in an hour.

For this set of nails, I opted for a powder blue colour. Pastels are my number 1 love at the minute (actually second, food's my first). They are just beautiful colours and very girly ones too.

Well, instead of doing lilac (saving that for my next trip!), I went for the blue. 

The nail artist couldn't help but laugh when I explained the design I wanted. I was telling her what I wanted on each finger and she stopped me halfway and said, "Just tell me as I do each finger!", haha I felt so bad and so particular (if that's the right word, probably not).

The design I went for was, one finger with a leopard print, one with stripes, one with a two third tip, one normal one and one matte. I think that's all five? *counts*

I must say this is probably my favourite set of nails because I did every nail differently. I did it mainly because I didn't want to get bored of nails so quickly like the last. The last set lasted (last, last, too many lasts) 6 weeks, the left thumb cracked 2 days before going to the nail shop but it was a minor!

I can't wait to go back, I have my next 2 trips planned, so excited!

What do you guys think of my nails? You like or no like? Haha! You can compare to my last set, click here to see them!

5 Random Facts About Me

Hey guys,

I always love knowing facts about bloggers/youtubers so I thought why not do a little facts post today.

As the title says, my facts are completely random so don't expect no cohesion haha

Enjoy!

1. My name is actually pronounced 'JeZZlyn' but everyone sees it as 'JeSSlyn' and says it like that and I don't bother to correct them because it's just long. When I start uni, I hope I can get most people pronouncing my name correctly.

2. I am the eldest child of 6 and was the only child for 2 years. I honestly wish I could remember those amazing 2 years of being an only child. Apparently, I was a terror and didn't sit still, powder and Vaseline were my best buds.

3. I knew I wanted to be a fashion designer from the age of 8. I remember people asking me what I wanted to go into when I'm older and always said 'I want to be a fashion designer' with no hesitation. 'Til this day, I still want to pursue a career in fashion design, it's become so real now that I'm off to uni this September to study a BA in Fashion Design. I'm glad my family support whatever I do in building my future.

4. I have a really (really) fast metabolism. A couple years ago, I would eat every hour just because I could and my body would let me. I don't really gain weight, there's pros and cons to that however, I'm grateful that I don't have to keep an eye on my weight.
Nowadays, I don't eat as much when I'm out but when I'm at home, the kitchen's mine. I do understand that, because I'm naturally slim doesn't mean I don't have to look after my insides!

5. I want to travel the world. My mum always freaks out at the idea of me travelling by myself but she knows I've got to grow up. I plan to take a sandwich year during uni and start my travels by doing a placement in New York and then Paris/Italy if possible. As soon as I graduate, I'm gonna be the airport's best friend!



And because we're talking about facts here, let me tell you all one special fact.
 I've reached 400 followers!

I'm so happy that 400 amazing people take the time to read and follow my blog. Everyone starts with 0 and after a year and a half, I'm so grateful that my blog has grown so much in such a short space of time.

I haven't even started yet, I feel like I still have so much to accomplish being only 17 but to have 400 people already behind me and supporting me is such a blessing!
I can't wait to introduce new things onto my blog and into my life and to share them with you all is an amazing thing, I really appreciate the love you all show to me and my blog.

Thank you everyone and once again, thanks for reading!

Argan Oil Hair Treatment

Hi guys, 

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you would've seen the post I put  up about 'How I care for texturised hair', I had quite a few people email and tweet me about how helpful it was. If you haven't read it, definitely have a look because it could help you out, especially if you have texturised/natural hair.

That post went down quite well and people were very interested in what I was using in my hair so I thought I would do more in-depth reviews on the products I use.

So first up is this argan oil. I remember my mum buying it for me and I was so excited to try it out, she also bought a heat defense spray from the same brand (review later).

I washed my hair that day so I could try it out, my mum couldn't understand why I was so happy, I couldn't either. I think deep down, I really wanted a hair product that would revive my hair.

I washed my hair like usual and when I had put in my leave in conditioner, I put the oil only onto my ends and then I put in my heat defense and blow dried like normal. I noticed my hair was very soft, only a little softer than usual.

I straightened my hair like I usually do and then I applied the oil lightly to the whole head.

I must say I am a bit apprehensive about using oily things in my hair because I hate oil products that make my hair limp and disgustingly greasy. This oil was quite light and not greasy, it added that shine it needed and that softness too.

I applied it every 3 or 4 days, depending on how my hair felt when combing it. I'd say it is one of my favourite hair oils after my trusty Black Castor Oil.

It's perfect for those that suffer from dull looking hair and need that extra healthiness.

I'd definitely repurchase (or make my mum buy me another haha), it's a great product and it's got all the bits and bobs I look for in a hair product.

Let me know if you've tried or will try this product, it's definitely a little gem in the midst of all the other hair oils.

Thanks for reading,

Mid May Lust List

Asos ASOS Praise High Heels | Grafea Lavender Leather Backpack | 

Topshop MOTO Bleach Super Rip Hayden Jeans |  H&M Long Chiffon Blouse | 

JD Sports Nike Air Force 1 | ASOS Warehouse Single Bar Necklace

Hey!

Well, I know the title says 'Mid May' but were drawing near to the end of it however I need to do a pre-lust list before the month was out. 

There's so many things I want right now that it was worth doing 2 lust lists in the space of a 1 week and a half.

I personally feel like my style is changing and I feel like I'm incorporating more staples into more wardrobe, I'm starting to love black, white and grey clothing. I've gone off colour which I would say is quite annoying because Summer's coming up and I want to wear colour but I'm just not feeling it. Simple jewellery is another thing, not big on statement necklaces, just hand me a barely there!

 I've got on my eye on so many things that are calf length, I feel that length is really flattering and I really want to purchase some pieces that are that length or make something that length!

Lilac is my favourite colour so when I saw the leather backpack, I fell in love and then fell back out when I saw the price haha!

Ripped jeans are the craze at the moment and I've been sucked in, I saw this pair on Topshop and they look amazing, I can't decide if I should buy a pair or stop being lazy and do a DIY(?)

Shoes are always on the lust list, what girl doesn't love shoes? Heels and trainers are my weakness, I'd happily give up my favourite jacket for a pair of new shoes. Love them!

I haven't been proper shopping in so long, just online orders every now and then but I really want to go shopping just got to find time!

Where are the best places to go shopping right now? What stores are doing it right now?

Let me know!
