February favourites
It's the end of the month, already the year seems to be absolutely flying by...
Firstly is this valentine haze candle from paper chase. I got it as a valentine gift and have been burning it ever since. It has a really sweet smell and I think the little hearts look adorable. Such a cute little gift for someone who is as candle mad as me!
I'm really happy with my purchase of a vintage Polly pocket necklace from etsy, I love anything that's a bit quirky and weird and this just fits my child like persona perfectly.
Finally, I've really been enjoying these bare minerals loud and clear lip sheers. I find they are really hydrating for your lips but also add a nice subtle base coat to create a more smooth look under a bolder colour.
However, I must say that I am rather keen for spring to be here.
As my posts have been rather absent this month, I thought I would share with you the things that I've been really enjoying over the past month.
Secondly is my Benefit, Hello Flawless foundation. In these cold months my skin gets really dry and I find this foundation really hydrating and fresh. It's also a fab colour match for my very pale skin and gives me a natural sort of glow!
I also have been having the best nights sleep in my super cosy my little pony pyjamas from primark. The fact that they are leggings just makes them so comfy!
I also tryed out a cute little nail pattern I found on Pinterest for valentines day and I think it worked out pretty well, I love doing all sorts of nail patterns so if anyone has any cute ideas please let me know!
Hope you all had a nice nosey on my favourites, send me some links to yours!

WIWT
Thought I would do a quick blog post on one of my favorite apps/social networking sites at the moment. WIWT or What I Wore Today is a cute little website where people post pictures of their most worn outfits or just pictures from their day to day wardrobes.
I discovered the website a while back in summer when my Mum, who loves looking at things online, actually told me about it and I thought why not give it a go. It is very simple and there is no pressure to upload an outfit everyday just when you feel you're wearing something particularly nice, or even just something you want to share with other people. All you do is take a photo of what you are wearing and you have the option to tag brands like Topshop and Zara etc.
It is also a really great place to get fashion and style ideas and see what people are wearing all round the world. The editors of the site also pick their daily fave outfits so sometimes you get featured on the editors page which feels pretty nice. You can also star or like people's outfits to rate which styles you like best.
Here is the link to my profile if you fancy taking a look; http://wiwt.com/user/yayalicemay/
I thought I would share with you some of my outfits which I have uploaded over that last few months for people to view.
These are all taken from the phone app, which is a bit different from the online website which you can also upload and view your profile on.

I really enjoy WIWT as it's just another fun website to share styles with other people interested I fashion. I really reccomend it so let me know if you give it a try!

Candle mad.
So anyone who knows me well will know that I have a slight obsession with candles.
I am forever burning them in my room to make my room smell lovely and look all cosy and cute. Basically, whenever I am in my room I am burning a candle because I love them that much, so I thought I would share with you some of the candles which I am absolutely adoring at the moment!!
The candle I'm using at the moment is something I got as a Christmas present, it's a small sized Yankee candle which smells like midnight jasmine. It's a really fresh and relaxing smell, and is really nice to have on at night time before going to bed.
Yankee candles are quite pricy, however they do last a long time and have such a lovely and strong smell that your whole rooms picks up the scent.
I was also really excited when two new candles arrived in the post last week. Firstly, my rose tea cup candle. This is such a cute little vintage accessory for your bedroom, I absolutely love it. I haven't yet burnt it because I like it that much however it does smell like roses.
The other candle I recently ordered was from Lily Flame, these are also quite expensive but also have a very powerful smell and can burn for up to thirty hours. I chose the Mango Fandango scent as I thought it would give my room a more fruity burst to it. I also love the little chunks which stick out into the candles and I think they just look so fresh and soapy.

Bits and bobs I'm absolutely loving
Hey lovelies,
Firstly, are these two Body shop products, the strawberry shower gel and the strawberry body polish. I love body shop products as they smell so lovely and fresh and the strawberry is perfect for the spring and summer months which will soon be here.
This is definitely something I am loving at the moment. My new aqua blue laptop case. This case is from amazon and also comes with a cute rubber key set which turns your keys blue too, which I think makes my mac look even more pretty. The Alice in Wonderland sticker I actually stuck onto the case myself but that is also from amazon and I think it just adds a nice quirky and girly touch to the laptop.
I am a massive massive fab of all of Rob Ryan's beautiful stencil art work. So I think this calendar will be a favourite all year round for me. Each month has a sweet stencil style picture with a little message.
I'm always keen to make me room look as pretty, girly and vintage as possible. So therefore I am so pleased how lovely these vintage style roses look when I folded them round my mirror. Very shabby chic!
So although my New Years resolution was to made sure I blogged more I have to say I have been so so busy with coming back to uni and having exams that I have had no time to blog...
However, I am back and now free for a while so I'm thinking up some new posts for you all.
For now, I thought I would just show you a few things that I am absolutely loving at the moment.
Something else I really enjoyed was these selections of chocolates from hotel chocolate. They have a mixture of flavours strawberry cheesecake, chocolate truffle, dizzy praline and rocky road. And the mixture was just perfect what more would you want from a selection really. I honstely don't know.
Finally, I am also the biggest fan of candles, therefore these little tea lights have got to be the sweetest thing. They also smell so fresh and girly, yum. 
So that's most of the things/bits and bobs I'm really into at the moment. I would love to see what you are all really liking as well!!
Hope you enjoyed reading,
More posts to follow!
Love love,
Alice May
