Nina Nesbitt album review- Peroxide.

Hello everyone sorry for the lack of posts this month I've been super busy. As you all are probably aware at this stage I am a huge fan of Nina Nesbitt. She released her debut album 'Peroxide' last Febuary and it is safe to say that I absolutely adore it. I have been a huge fan of Nina's since the 'Apple Tree E.P' I stumbled across it one day on youtube and fell head over heals for her music the minute I heard it.Afterwards I looked up more of her E,P's and loved all of them. I started to do more research and soon began to love everything about her from her style to her to her personality I adored.

Nina has literally written about a lot of different topics from drinking in a bus shelter to a very observant night out in London. The album is jam- packed with catchy tunes. It has something for everyone on it everything from slow piano love songs (hold you) to an upbeat sixty's style tune (he's the one I'm bringing back ) The album consists of alot of her well known singles such as selfies and stay out. But it is mainly made up of brand new unheard songs. There isn't a single track that I don't love off the album. Every track has something new to bring to the table.

As I said earlier there is something for everyone on her album. But if you are only now listening to her music I would recommend ' Stay Out , 18 candles, Mr.C, Peroxide and Some you win'. But if you want to start off with something more toned down and more guitar/acoustic style of music why not try some of her E,P's ? She has had 5 E.P's out all together. The names of her E,P's are (in order of release) 'The live take E.p, The Apple tree E.p, Boy E.P, Stay Out E.P and Way in the world E.P'


 

My favourite songs off the album change all the time but  at the moment they are ' The Outcome , He's the one I'm bringing back, Tough luck, Peroxide and some you win'. I mentioned earlier that each song has something new to offer The proof of that statement is in those five songs I just mentioned above. ' He's the one I'm bringing back' is a sixty's style song based on a girl who is sick of everyone looking down on her because of the fact that there is a age gap between her and her boyfriend. The song is basically telling everyone that she doesn't care about the fact that there is an age difference and to put your eyes on someone else. Tough luck as Nina described as the ' angry song ' on the album. It is very different from any other song she has ever written. I really like this track because I think that Nina really gets her emotions of how she felt at the time across. The reason I chose to compare He's the one I'm bringing back and Tough luck is because it shows how versatile Nina's music can be.





One track that sticks out a lot for me is The people. When I first heard this track I was blown away by it. The title is pretty self explanatory on what it is about. The people and humanity in general about how we treat life. Its quite a difficult track to explain so I would recommend listening to it. I promise the song will do all the talking. One of the reasons I was so impressed with this track is because it started off as just another song she had written in her bedroom at the age of 15 before she had even been discovered to this massive 5 minute song with over 5000 voices on it.. It is without doubt one of the best tracks she has ever written.




I hope you all enjoyed that and i shall be posting soon

Steal his style Matty Healy!

Matty Healy.

Not only is he number one on my husband list but this man really knows how to dress. Matty is the lead singer from a popular band known as The1975. The band consists of four members Matty, Adam, George and Ross. This band has completely managed to turn the face of pop music all because of there number one hit chocolate. I first came across this band because of Nina Nesbitt ( I also wrote a S.HS. on Nina Nesbitt you can read it here ) When I first saw her cover chocolate I instantly loved the song. I eventually got around to looking them up. The minute I started listening to there music I completely fell in love. I was shocked to find that  there wasn't a single song I didn't love off there album. Along with falling in love with there music an uppsesion soon developed. When I started looking up pictures of Matty I couldn't get over how well he dressed. Everything from his hair to his shoes was just perfection In my opinion he definitely has the best sense of style out of everyone in the band so thats why I chose him for todays ' S.H.S'.

Matty is extreamly fond of  the colour black come to think of it I don't think I have ever seen him in any other colours besides grey, black and white. Matty really take's '' dressed in black from head to toe'' to a whole other level. To get Mattys look the first thing you'll have to do is stock up on black skinny jeans. He is also a big fan of monochrome more so in the summer though. One of Matty's signature look's is his oversize black knitted jumper with skinny black jeans and lace up boots. This is an outfit that almost anyone can create. It would look just as good on men or women though I would mainly recommend it for men. At festivals Matty is often seen wearing Elton-John-Style sunglasses.If you would rather go for the monochrome look then simply swap the knitted jumper for a black and white T-shirt or a plain white T-shirt. Matty tends to go for a more comfy shoe like Doc martens or converse but in all fairness to him he does love a good chelsea boot hear and again. To sum up his style you could probably say he likes very plain outfits that consist of alot  of black. I think Mattys style would be best recreated on someone who still wants to look stylish but not to out there at the same time.

Mattys hair.

If you know anything about Matty you will know about how glorious his hair is. The only word I can think of to describe it is original. Its completely different to anything else you would usually see.It consists of a long-ish mo-hawk type thing...............( you can tell I've never tried to describe his hair before) It is quite an easy look to achieve you would just simply grow your hair long-ish and shave both sides of your head

                                     

So over all I think we can agree that everything from his tattoos to his hair to his clothes is pure perfection

I hope you enjoyed that and I shall be posting again soon bye

P.S before I forget my lovely friend Niamh has started a blog you can read it by clicking here I would recommend it as she is fab.

Steal her style: Haim

HAIM.

Hello everyone. I think its time for another S.H.S. As I have not done one in a while. Today it is going to be about the fabulous Haim  sisters. I discovered these girls last year from someone else's blog. Oh! How I  love this adorable three-o. For those of you who aren't aware Haim is a band from America made up of 3 sisters. It includes Este, Danielle and Alannah. It's not just their music I adore their style is perfection. I am going to talk you through each girls style individually. Starting with Alannah.....

Alannah.




Alannah Haim more commonly known as ''Baby Haim'' is the youngest of the 3. She has quite a laid-back style. If you want to full on copy her style then I suggest you pick up a pair of her signature black Calvin Klein shorts. She is seen wearing theses more than any other piece of clothing in her wardrobe. She wears them everywhere on stage or out and about. She usually pairs them with black ankle boots and T-shirts or oversized denim t- shirts. When your picking a  t-shirt don't go to crazy with the design pick something simple and keep it in the black, grey or white family.




Danielle Haim.

 Danielle Haim is the middle child of the three sisters she is also the lead singer. Danielle definitely has the most tom-boy look of them all. She tends to wear a lot of  black some elements of her style cross over with Alannah. Start off the look with an oversized leather jacket .For the summer a short sleeved leather jacket. She usually goes for simple all black outfits but mixed with a lot of different textures . For example a leather jacket cotton T-shirt black jeans topped off with biker boots. She sometimes mixes it up with a denim shirt or shorts. Sometimes she would wear denim shorts and T-shirt mainly in the summer.

Este Haim.

 Este Haim is the oldest of the 3 and is by far the most girly. She ( in my opinion ) definitely has the best sense of style out of the three. She is girly but edgy. She doesn't just wear plain skirts or dresses she often wears bra tops with her skater skirts. When it comes to her dresses she can be quite versatile first she will be at a festival in a white lace dress next she'll be rocking out on stage in a black skater dress. She is also quite a big fan of florals her bra tops are usually floral and she also sometimes wears floral dresses. For her shoes she is quite similar to her sisters in the fact that she mainly wears ankle boots but if she is at a more casual event she is often seen in converse.

Hair and Makeup

Haim are very well known for their hair they all have the same style long with no layers. But Danielle has quite dark hair whilst Alannah is much lighter. Este's hair colour is more similar to Alannah's but she has blonde ombré in her hair . For there makeup they all keep it really natural they don't wear much no eye shadow no blush. Este often wears red lipstick but besides that its all the same.

To top off the Haim look start growing out your hair learn to play guitar teach yourself some dance moves . Next thing you know you are being mistaken for  Haim sister.

I hope you all enjoyed that post and I will be back with more soon

Collective haul March.

Everything I bought over the month of March!

Hello all today I have Haul post for you all. Its a collective haul over the month of March. I didn't buy much this month as I am going to Spain Next month and need to save my money. But I decided to do this post as it will probably be my last haul post until after Spain. So lets get straight into it!

So why not start off the haul with something pretty epic. My new shoes I bought on St.Patricks day in Schuh . You saw these in my St. Patricks O.O.T.D. I have been wearing these all month. They go with evrything  . they were 36 euro. So not too expensive but worth every penny.

I went shopping with one of my friends not too long ago and I picked up a few things. The first thing I picked up was the Kate Moss for Rimmel Matte Collection lipstick in the shade 107. This lipstick is constantly raved about in the beauty bloggers world. So of course I had to pick it up . It is a dark red colour very on trend at the moment. Once again it is very wearable and goes with everything. I'm not sure on the exact price but I think it was between 5-6 euro so very affordable.

The next thing I got on the same shopping trip was a Wet'n'Wild eyeliner. Now as you are all probably aware Wet'n'Wild was released in Ireland this month *squeals* . After two years of having to listen to American and Australian bloggers/Youtubers go on about it was  finally released in Ireland . I only picked up one item which was this eyeliner obviously .This is probably one the best eyeliners i have ever bought after it only being a wee one ninty-nine. The quality is brilliant it stays all day and does not budge. The eyeliner itself is really long and is bound to last a while. I cant wait to try more items from the Wet'n'Wild range. Oh and I forgot to mention its also vegan friendly so everybody wins!

Swatches of the lipstick and eyeliner (excuse my bad photography)

 Next thing I picked up was the Natural collection press powder in the shade neutral.. Now if your like me and prefare a matte finish to your skin then I would definitely recomend this powder . The foundation I use is Rimmel's wake me up foundation . Now don't get me wrong it is still a brilliant foundation just it leaves the skin with a glowy finish which I'm not really into so by using this powder it leaves the skin with a complete matte finish.



Now the last few bits of my haul were a gift off my aunty (thank you) I received a toner a youth activater and corrector . These are my first Lancome products to own so I am excited to try them. Expect a review comin your way soon!


So that is everything I bought over the month of March I hope you enjoyed that post and I'll be posting soon bye

Steal her Style: Nina Nesbitt

Hello all ! Today I thought I would start a new blog series called '' Steal her/his Style''. This blog series is basically going to be about different celebrities style and how to recreate their style. If you have any celebrity's who you would like me to write about in this the new series leave requests below!

So I thought I would start off the series with one my biggest style icons out there and that is Nina Nesbitt. I have been a fan of this lovely Scottish lass since the apple tree E.P. Not only is it her style I love, her music is AMAZING! She is by far one of my favourite singers.

Now lets talk more about her style Nina is always bang on trend with everything she wears. She always looks perfect I will forever envy her crazy blonde hair and amazing Nike blazers collection.

Here are a few of my favourite Nina outfits.

As you can see from looking at her style she usually goes for quirky alternative outfits which are amazing. If you want to full on copy her style I suggest you check out ''Beyond Retro'' as she said in a recent Q & A that it was her favourite online shopping website. She is also often spotted wearing pieces from high street shops such as River Island and Topshop.


Now time to talk about her makeup and hair (yay!) If you want to recreate her makeup look Nina nearly always goes for a 50's pin-up look with a winged eye-liner and classic red lip. She sometimes likes to swap the classic red lip for a baby pink or even purple.


To get the full Nina Nesbitt look you would have to top it off with her messy-wavy-curly bleach blonde hair. Now I know not everyone would go as far as to bleach there hair but you could still get that messy layed back look by curling your and adding salt spray. A lot of the time Nina is seen sporting pastel coloured dip-dye . So if your not willing to go all the way and dye your hair blonde why not try a dip-dying it? Its something thats affordable easy to do and will definately add a touch of Nina quirky-ness and fun into your look.


 







I would also just like to mention you should all check out her music it is amazing.



Well thats all for today I hope you enjoyed my post don't forget to comment follow and like. See you all soon bye
