March favourites

Although I haven't had to chance to do a lot of shopping this month due to a serious amount of work as well as a lack of funds, I have managed to buy some new things and I've also been re-using some old stuff too. So here are my favourite things I've been using over March!

I seemed to have developed a bit of a passion for comfy grey knits this month, I'm not really sure why, I've just suddenly started wanting to wear this grey cardigan and grey jumper all the time! I've been finding lots of different things to team them with, for example over the top of a floral printed dress or skirt for a spring look that still keeps me warm, or just with leggings for a casual uni outfit.

It seems the time has passed to be able to wear thick winter coats now, so I've been donning my thin leather jacket constantly. It was on sale at Primark about a month ago for only £10, so I decided I just had to have it. It also came with a removable fur collar, just in case I feel like switching it up a little. This vintage-style print dress and floral printed pinafore are quickly becoming my staple spring/summer outfits. I love wearing the pinafore over the top of a band t-shirt with my grey boots or Converse trainers, and the black and white print dress goes great with my huge denim jacket and sunglasses.

I have been literally obsessed with wearing this flannel shirt during March. I either wear it over the top of an outfit as a sort of thin layer to stop me from getting too cold, or with leggings, brown satchel bag and sunglasses which makes me feel really comfortable as well as stylish.

I picked up this little necklace when I was last in Topshop. I've been needing some new jewelry for a while, and after seeing this for only £4.50 I fell in love and decided I needed it in my life. It's honestly never left me since, the only time I've really taken it off is to sleep or shower. It goes with almost everything, and just makes me feel happy whenever I look down to see the little elephant dangling there all cute and elephant-y!


These are the beauty things I've been loving this month. I've been having a lot of trouble with my skin in terms of blemishes, and so this Clearasil All in 1 Wash and Mask has been an absolute God-send. I love Clearasil stuff for my skin, as it helps to balance the oils on my face without making it feel to dry, as well as keeping my skin relatively clear when it's going through a bad patch.

This blemish stick from Witch is something that I always keep in my bathroom, just in case I have a spot-related emergency and am in dire need of help. It's a fabulous product, and gets to work straight away (you can feel it working as soon as you apply it). This has definitely been the product I've been using the most this month.

My nails have been painted mostly this bright red from the Rimmel Lasting Finish line, as I've not been wanting to keep using the darker colours I had for winter but also at the same time I feel like everyone is wearing pastel colours at the minute. I always make sure to have red nail polish in my house, because I don't think I'll ever get bored of wearing it. It goes great with most things and can be worn in both colder and warmer weather.
