June Favourites (B)

Hi Guys,
So June has been such a busy month for me and surprisingly I didn't purchase that much, or I didn't purchase that many items that I love and believe should be included in my June favourites.


I have 2 items of clothing, 1 cosmetic item and 1 accessory for my June favourites, just a short and sweet post.


Although both of these items may not be seen as a "Summer" item, they are my favourite clothing purchase's of June. I found last year that high waisted jeans were incredibly hard to find and purchase when I was in need of them the most, so although these jeans could look lovely with a floaty top or a crop top in the Summer, I have a  feeling they will also become a Winter essential for me. The material also has enough stretch for  comfortable movement throughout the day. They are Jamie Moto High Waisted Jeans from TopShop. 

The chunky heel ankle boots were £69.99 from Pavers, they are not something that I would go looking to buy but once I saw them they were a must purchase. Unlike other heels that I own the heels on these boots are very light and do not result in my leg aching from lifting a heavy heel. They are chestnut brown suede leather with strong warmths of red making them rather easy to pair with different outfits.


I am known for "giving in" and experimenting with recommended products. Maybelline Falsies Mascara is one of these products, and I can honestly say that I don't regret the purchase, both myself and M love Benefit - They're Real Mascara and we found that Benefit - They're Real works better on M than it does on myself, however I have found that Maybelline for me has the same effect on my eyelashes that They're Real does for M which is a fabulous result from a highstreet/drugstore mascara at £7.99.


My last item is the Silver ring that I purchased at Camden Market last week in London. (Myself and M have posted daily entries of our week in London below, check them out!) I have been looking for a new ring for a few months and this ring is now situated on my left thumb. I am also a sentimental person and this ring represents the end of college and the beginning of what I hope to be a fabulous Summer before I head off to Uni.

What were your favourite purchases of the month? Do you purchase things in Summer that you know will be best styles for Winter? 
Let me know
Have a good July!
Love 
B

London- Wednesday 26th June

Wednesday was probably our busiest day of last week- we spent the most time on the tube that day!


First off we visited Notting Hill- I've been wanting to visit there ever since I watched the film a few years ago! (M) and it's safe to say I am completely and utterly envious of anyone who lives there. It's beautiful
We mainly just went along Portobello Road and had a look at the stalls and shops- unfortunately we didn't see the blue door from the film but maybe next time! (for those who haven't seen Notting Hill- it'd be a great investment!) 
 


Our next stop was Camden Market! Whenever people travel to London they always mention Camden, and so we felt like it would be compulsory for us to go to see what all the hype is about! We loved it. The market itself is massive and there were so many stalls selling all sorts of weird and wonderful things! We didn't really buy much from there- although B bought a ring- but it really is nice to just browse. 
Word of advice though- try not to make too much eye contact with the stall owners because they persistently try to sell you their products! 




Our next stop was Leicester Square! We didn't do much here but we did visit M&M world- there was literally 4 floors of M&M products, strange but great! We both bought some M&Ms for our younger siblings but do be wary when you do a 'pick and mix'. The idea of picking your own colour M&Ms is great but it can soon add up if you accidentally pour too much into your bags! 


We then had a quick visit to Covent Garden. We didn't properly look around because by this time we were definitely ready for our teas! We ended up going to Nandos, naturally. 


Our last stop of the day was Soho! Like Covent Garden we didn't particularly spend much time here- we were ready for going home- but like the rest of the places we visited, we really liked it and we wouldn't mind going back next time for a drink!


We both really loved Wednesday as we got to visit so many places! It was tiring but most definitely worth it. 

Have any of you guys visited some of the places we did on Wednesday? If so what do you think to them? If not, where would you like to visit?
We'd love to hear from you!

Till next time,
Love
