Cheeky Topshop Haul!

(This was written a few weeks ago, when I was still in the UK!)
I can't find the third one, sorry! 

I normally stray from Topshop jewellery because it is so overpriced & I normally only buy jewellery from more unique/memorable places than the high street. But both of these I absolutely fell in love with & thought would look awesome with just plain tops, collared shirts, & many other outfits! The dress I fell in love with when my flatmate got the other colour of it & decided that I definitely "needed" it. I'm either going to wear it for VidCon or another event that I am going to next week when I'm back in Seattle! 
Have you picked up any naughty picks recently? Let me know in the comments! x

Summer Wish List (& new shopping site!)


Whenever I decide that I want to buy something, I find myself going site-to-site trying to find where it is the cheapest. So when I found out about Uniprice.com, I wanted to share it with you guys! Basically, Uniprice is a shopping site with hundreds of awesome brands (including some favourites like Free People, Disney and Marc Jacobs) that compares prices across the internet and sends you to the site that will sell the item you are looking for at the lowest cost. It is dangerous how much easier my shopping life is about to become.

That being said, today’s summer wish list is inspired by things I already wanted, but found through Uniprice at the lowest price online! It may not quite be summer here in the Pacific Northwest, but I’m looking forward to the day it hits and maybe I’ll even pick up a couple of these goodies. Let me know what you’re loving this summer in the comments! x
Marc by Marc Jacobs Crossbody Classic Q Percy in Electric Blue
Jeffery Campbell Refreshing Course Flats
Free People Halter Bra
American Apparel Neon Beanie
Minnie Mouse Watch
Kate Spade Wildflowers Coated Canvas Tote
Freesia Multi-Leather Seychelles


This is an Editorial Collaboration with Uniprice, but all opinions are my own! Seriously, this site it awesome and I wanted to share it with you. For more on this subject, see my disclaimer.

Review | Rimmel Apocalips

I generally stray from Rimmel, but I kept seeing rave reviews about the Rimmel Apocalips & I just had to give them a shot. They were 3-for-2 at Superdrug, so I picked up Stellar, Galaxy & Big Bang (photographed in that order). They have amazing colour and are really nice to apply. While they are a little drying, it's nothing a lip balm paired with it can't save. My main qualm with them is that when they fade, they do the horrible, patchy thing that I can't stand. I have a tendency to forget to reapply & then realise how awful it looks hours later, so if you are better at reapplication, these will probably be fantastic for you.
Regardless, I can tell that Stellar will be all up on my lips this summer. Here's hoping I remember to reapply! Let me know if you've tried these out in the comments! Have a lovely day. x

Alexandra Palace Outfit of the Day!

Jacket | Pull & Bear
Top | Forever 21
Necklace | Topshop
Trousers | Zara, last spring, similar style here
Bag | About 6 years old from Lucky Brand
Shoes & socks | Primark
Sunglasses | Michael Kors, similar style here

I tagged along with some friends for a venue meeting at Alexandra Palace the other day. It was meant to be quite a warm day but an outing in shorts earlier in the day proved that to be false, so I changed into this moments before dashing out north. The view was stunning & as the sun went down, it made the Shard look like it was on fire. Pretty cool, I'd say. I will miss this city during my time at home & Disneyland. x

New Hair!

So yes, I dyed my hair! And chopped it off a bit! Pretty exciting stuff, I suppose. If you want to know more about it and why I did it, check out my new video :) Are you guys making any hair changes for summer? x

Instadventures in Scotland

Jenners department store by night, my shadow, favourite new Topman jumper, new opal & turquoise rings, flowers at Liam's parents house, Edinburgh sunset with snowy hills in the distance, outfit of the day, uni notebooks & the train ride back (Alnmouth, I believe. Really want to stop here at some point).

How much do you hate me for this title? It was too ridiculous to not use! Anyway, I go up to Scotland quite frequently. Edinburgh is is one of my favourite cities and sort of feels like a fourth home, right after Seattle, Disneyland & London. It reminds me so much of my beloved Washington (State), but with so much more history and charm. This time, I was lucky and got to spend about a week & a half up north, going between Edinburgh, the Stirling area & even a little bit of Coatbridge* for the first time. Sorry this isn't what I normally post here, but I figured I'd share nonetheless. I'm always inspired by other peoples' instagrams & accompanying blog posts, so I figured that I would give it a go! If you want to follow me on instagram, you can find me at @kayleyhyde


*Fun fact, the ONLY place open on Sunday in Coatbridge, aside from the church, was Subway. The entire rest of the high street was shut. It was so strange.

Spring Wish List


Just a few items I am currently longing for, despite it being far too cold for any of these clothing items and everything else being far too expensive. Oh well. Spring, despite not having these things, I am ready when you are! What are you currently eyeing up, readers? x
