The Week of Mirror Selfies!

Hello all you lovely people! I know it is amazing two blogs within DAYS of each other, I promise I'm not dying. Just distracting myself from horrific dissertation writing. If you follow my fashion Instagram ( @dreamingoffifthavenue ) you will have had the blessing of viewing these pictures already so you can stop reading now. I have been trying to up my style game within the last week, for a while I was getting super comfortable with my style and not pushing myself to wear new or different things (there is only so many times that you can wear a Yeezus top and Topshop Jeans). Also, since October I have been on a bit of a weight loss journey and getting closer to my target weight has giving me an extra boost of confidence to wear more fashion-forward outfits. *big round of applause* I was on a buying ban...yes! a buying ban since the 28th of December so I splurged a little at the end of January...which in a way makes the ban completely pointless. I may have a slight addiction. But if that addiction means I'm looking fierce AF, who gives! 

Outfit One -

I love this outfit! Took a little style inspo from my pal over at www.vogueandcake.com who suggested layering a big fluffy jumper over this ankle length Zara dress that cost £9! BIBLE! The jumper is H&M Trend (surprise, surprise) and I'm sure the belt is from H&M too! I felt super on trend with this and got so many compliments too! I just felt as though it really showcased my figure in the best way. 

Outfit Two - 

This coat is genuine LIFE! I got it from the Topshop boxing day sale for £35! You can't really see it great in this picture but I have a Weekday long black shirt on with some ripped Topshop Jamie jeans and my Stan Smiths (easily the best shoes I have ever ever bought!). 

Outfit Three - 

Sorry for the lack of face...it was a hard day and I may be cheating because this isn't a 'mirror selfie' but I AM LIVING FOR THIS BOMBER JACKET!!! Which is from H&M Trend obvs. A basic black polo neck cause why the hell would you want to take away from all the sequins!! Topshop Jamie Jeans and my fav Stan Smith's. 

Outfit Four -

 

Again with the Jaime Jeans....sorry guys but they are so god damn comfy! I feel like this outfit also showed off my figure really well and made a 7 o'clock start in work that little bit easier as I was feeling fierce AF! I love this little Mango shirt that I bought when I was in Madrid last year, its super light weight meaning that it works well for layering too! These boots make me feel super sassy like more than the emoji chick! They are comfy but also high enough to wear on a night out (which I have done often, which equals no crying feet). 

Outfit Five - 

You guys will NEVER EVER guess where this outfit is from...I'll give you three chances 1) H&M Trend 2) H&M Trend and 3) H&M Trend! I'm not even sorry, I don't know why but I felt like some sort of Hunger Games extra with this on, maybe because of the lack of black? The only criticism I have about the trousers is the waistband, I wish it wasn's elastic. I guess I could cover it with a belt but I don't know for comfortable that will feel. And again with the Stan Smiths, I am soo original. 

Outfit Six - 

 

I am so gutted I didn't get a better picture of this outfit, but unfortunately,  White Russians are way more important that outfit selfies. Although I must congratulate Bloc (a bar on Bath Street in Glasgow) on their awesome outfit selfie mirror! This H&M Trend fringe suede jacket is an utter dream, it makes any outfit look super on trend. Underneath I have a V-neck grey t-shirt with my black Joni Topshop jeans and I bought one of those skinny black scarfs which I feel completely upgrades this outfit and you will defiantly be seeing this again. 

I hope you guys all enjoyed this post! I really enjoyed writing it and taking multiple pictures of myself. 

Lots of Love

Style Addict in NYC

Hello my lovely people! I again begin my blog post with an apology and a promise to blog more...oops :(. Well in May...yes May and this is the blog just going up now...(such a bad blogger!) I had the amazing opportunity to go to New York with my university for five days and we shopped till we dropped did lots of tourist-y things and ate millions of yummy food! 

So this is me finally putting together a little outfit blog...and what we got up to in NYC. 

On our first proper day, we shopped and shopped and shopped and shopped! I have genuinely never ever been to as many shops as I did, and I have one word Sephora! It genuinely is heaven..I bought lots of goodies that I have been using to the death recently. Also as you can see from the picture I got to go to Tiffany's! I have never seen so many beautifully sparkly things in my life, I never wanted to leave! 

What I'm wearing: 

Hat - H&M

Dress - Miss Guided 

Waistcoat - H&M 

Sandals - Topshop

Watch - Olivia Burton 

Necklace - Topshop 

Earrings - Tiffany & Co 

After a wonderful day of shopping we went up the Empire State Building...which was breathtaking!! I got a little more dressed up as we were going for dinner after...popped on a little Chanel lipstick and pinned my hair up, heres a classic I'm wearing red (Chanel) lipstick pout pic. 

And here is some beeeaaautiful pics from the top of the Empire State building. 

It was awfully windy...but I still have it 100% NYC realness. Obvs! 

Daaaay Two! We started the day with the Sex in the City tour which was aaamazing...actually we started the day with these pancakes which I'm still thinking about. NYC = the best city for pancakes. 

I seriously recommend if you are a Sex in the City fan you go on this tour if you are in New York it was great we saw so many amazing places, got cupcakes and Cosmos in Steve Bar (Scotts? I think thats what its called). 

What I'm wearing:

Top and Skirt - H&M Trend

Necklace - H&M

Shoes - Topshop 

On the day the best ever thing happened...we had a carriage ride around central park!! It is so beautiful.. 

My sunglasses are from Topshop! I love the shape of these I feel they real complement my face shape..haha! 

Day Three... 

Tbh I didn't even get a proper picture of my outfit which was soooo annoying because i loved it! But here is a picture of me having a blast on a boat on the Hudson River! Also my sunglasses where an NYC Topshop purchase - they are Quay Australia and they are beautiful! 

What I'm wearing:

Top - River Island 

Culottes - H&M Trend

Shoes - Topshop 

So glad I finally got round to writing this blog because on a Saturday night all I want to do is sit and think about how amazing NYC is and plan when I am going back! 

Lots of love

OOTD Yellow Coat Lovin'

Hey guys! This is kinda my first ever pose-y "what I wore today" blog post which is ridiculous since I have had my blog for like two years!! So yeh, since its been so god dahm lovely in Glasgow recently I really couldn't help myself but to wear this beauty of a yellow mac from boohoo.com.

This look was for work! (one of the few times I actually made an effort). I paired my coat with a my blue mom jeans from H&M, my 'creeper style' platform shoes from...International...if anyone actually remembers that shop!! My check boxy shirt from Topshop, which i bought like last year in the sale and my little leather backpack also from Topshop! Ive been wanting a pair of mom jeans for a long time now and finally bought them the other day and I don't think I have had them off, Ive been wearing them with crop tops, shirts, jumpers..and they are so mega comfy. 

I actually really enjoy documenting my outfit choices and if my sister continues to take the photos for me I will be more than happy to keep it up! Also I have started posting my looks onto lookbook.nu as well so if you have it you could follow me on that too! My username is : Danielle G. (i think...still trying to work it haha)

Lots of Love

CocoWhite Teeth Whitening Review

Hey guys! Not blogged in a good while :( sadly super busy with work and uni and kinda struggling with what to write about! But I really really enjoy reading reviews of products (especially teeth whitening).

So I thought I'd let you guys know how I got on with the two week course of Coco White mint teeth whitening. Since so many people have asked me to let them know how I get on with it! 

Day one - I found it really difficult to swirl it for the whole 15 minutes thats recommend so I only got to 10, but apparently not bad for the first time! I read up a good bit about it before buying it and its recommended to do it before bed and before you brush your teeth at night (also some bloggers have been gargling salt water straight after the oil pulling and then brushing but I haven't done that)

Day two - Was a little more prepared for this one, I let the oil melt (warmed the sachets in my hand) and poured it into a shot glass instead of taking it right from the packet because I spilled it all over my face yesterday and the greasy oily texture isn't nice! Managed to get to 14 minutes woo hoo! 

Day three - Super easy this time, used the shot glass and spat it into a separate cup as I just found out you shouldn't spit it down the sink because it can cause blockages OOPS! Also as I am super impatient I bought teeth whitening toothpaste too...to try and speed the process along a little! But going good so far. Haven't seen much change yet though just gotta keep going!

Day four, five, six, seven... 

Now that Im half way through the course I really thought i would see some sort of change by now but I really don't feel like I have, apart from maybe my front two teeth but I hardly want them to stick out anymore than they already do!! 

Now that I only have about two days left of the course I really thought by now I would have seen a dramatic change, but to be honest I am pretty under welled by the whole product. After seeing the before and after picture I can see a tiny tiny tiny change in colouring but nothing as substantial as I was promised. 

(sorry for the horrid picture of my squint teeth!) 

I think that may be a reason why some teeth where a little bit better than others because mine are uneven, so maybe if someone else was to try it that has straight teeth it might work out better for them! But although over all this isn't a great review I have seen it on other people and it has worked really well, I guess the product just isn't for everyone, and it does take a lot of effort (especially near the end when I have a cold and couldn't breath out of my nose properly!!) remembering to do it every night before brushing your teeth etc...

Hope this as helped a little if you where thinking about buying Cocowhite, also they are so quick for delivering and very fast at replying to queries so if you are interested in purchasing the 14 day pack you have to go on the website at 8pm every night to purchase it because demand for it is so high! http://www.cocowhite.com

Lots of Love
