2013 is almost over. Where has the year gone?! It has been a pretty good year I thought I would do a roundup of what has been occurring on my blog and in my life in 2013 so grab a brew and lets reminisce!   Since Dolly Daydream is supposed to be mainly a fashion blog lets start with outfits! This year I have posted around 65 outfit posts which I think is pretty good. Looking back at my outfit posts from the beginning of the year to now shows me how I am slowly but surely getting better at taking outfit pictures (can I get a hell yeah?) but it also shows me how my style is changing and hopefully improving. You can see all of my outfit posts here .   This year I started doing reviews of products that I have used so that my blog doesn't consist of simply outfit pictures. I am not completely sure whether my lovely followers like my reviews so it would be lovely to know what you guys think! You can see all of my reviews here.  Some highlights of the year have been vi

Nothing better than taking drunken selfies on a disposable camera // Nancy // Christmas tree // Selfie before going out for a Christmas meal with my friends // Finally got a salted caramel latte // Christmas candle // Christmas cracker hat // OOTD // Vanilla frosting Yankee Candle This will be my last week in photos post of 2013 - how scary! Christmas has been very hectic but incredibly fun and I got some wonderful presents from my friends and family and heck load of chocolate which I will munching on for a good few months (if it lasts that long). I hope you all had a fab Christmas and have a wonderful new year!  Don't forget to like my Facebook  page and follow me on bloglovin !

Jacket - Primark // The Clash T-Shirt - My Dad's // Jeans - Topshop Joni // Boots - New Look    I had to force my sister to come and take my outfit pictures today because it was so freaking windy. I haven't been doing anything exciting as of late so my outfits aren't that exciting either. Unfortunately I have to spend the majority of the rest of my time off doing sixth form work which is pants but I am making time for a shopping trip to Manchester so I may do a haul post at some point.

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8   Hey guys, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I have spent my Boxing Day browsing the sales online to give me an idea of things to hunt for when I go shopping next week. Here are the main things that caught my eye and I must say there are many things I like in the Zara sale. I always forget about Zara when I go shopping because it's not as near to all of the main shops but I will be making sure I have a look  because I need that grey jumper.   Have a fun week and make sure you stuff yourselves silly with chocolate!

Jumper - Urban Outfitters (old) // Shirt - Charity Shop // Skirt - Rokit // Boots - Doc Martens   'Tis the season to wear tacky jumpers falalalala lalalala. This is my favourite Christmas jumper because it's subtle but still festive and is one of the comfiest things I own. I paired it with my leather skirt which I will never get sick of and of course my purple Doc Martens. (not sure what's going on with that piece of hair in the last picture)   I am so glad we have finished for Christmas now, it means I can dedicate my time to stuffing my face with mince pies, ginger biscuits and Twiglets. I hope you're all enjoying the start of your Christmas holidays!   Don't forget to like my Facebook  page and follow me on bloglovin !

  A while back I mentioned in a post that I bought the Boots Coconut & Almond Leave-In Conditioner for a mere £1.39. I used it once and didn't see that I had much of an effect so I forgot about it but recently I have been using and it is amazing. You're supposed to just wash your hair with shampoo and use this instead of conditioner but I couldn't bring myself to do it so I used both a little bit of conditioner and then a bit of this. It smells mainly of coconut which is lovely but it the smell doesn't last until your hair is dry. It keeps your hair feeling soft for quite a long time and cures you of the dreaded second-day-hair feeling. I am sure you can get better leave-in conditioners but for the price of this product you really cannot go wrong. Don't forget to like my Facebook  page and follow me on bloglovin !

Jumper - Primark // Dress - Topshop // Boots -New Look // Ring - My Mama's   What is winter without velvet and big fluffy jumpers? This outfit is literally one of the comfiest outfits ever perhaps even better than leggings and it looks much better too. My personal outfit picture-taker is coming home tomorrow aka Laura from Just My Cup of Tea  which also means she will probably have lots of outfit posts coming up too so make sure you follow her.

  So my lipstick collection is actually quite small and I hope to eventually build it up. I don't use expensive lipsticks because I'm scared that I will spend loads on one and then it wont suit me/will be terrible and I could have bought something better. However I am happy with the quality of the brands of lipsticks that I already own.   L-R: Collection 'Queen of Hearts' £2.99 - Sleek 'Vamp' £4.50 ( Review ) - MUA Shade 1 £1 - Laval Red Desire £1   Reds: My lipstick collection mainly consists of reds because they are so glam and easy to wear and I like the way red looks with pale skin. The Collection and Laval ones are the first red lipsticks I ever bought and I really like both of them although they aren't very moisturising. The MUA lipstick is surprisingly good seeing as it's only £1 and it's my go to. L-R: Collection 'Mud Slide' - Natural Collection 'Rose Petal' £1.99 - Topshop 'Infrared' £9 ( Review ) O
