october favourites.

Recently I haven't been posting in a while, well when I say a while I mean

over a month, but I have just been in one of those moods where I just cannot get round to do it. But I've also been so busy with school that I have had no spare time, and the time that I do have I just want to chill and relax.

And well I have had a collective haul planned but I just never got round to uploading it, and well it got later and later and well I am here. Now I was going to do an October favourites but many of the products and clothes were going to be featured in both posts, so I thought I would scrap the collective haul and just go with the monthly favourites!

Enough with me rambling on and lets begin!

 

The first thing is this really cute collar top from Topshop, I have been lusting for one for a while and when the opportunity came up for me to get a new top I had to get one! Its navy blue, even though it looks black, with small white love hearts! Not going to lie I do feel a teeny bit like Zoella when I where it, and this is priced at £32 which is rather reasonable and expected from TopShop! 

 

 

My next monthly favourite is these cut out boots from again, Topshop. There is a mad craze about cut out boots recently and I really wanted a good pair of autumn / winter boots. So when i saw these I was just like these are the ones, and can you believe it that the first time I wore them I got not one single blister, I was amazed to say the least. These were £45 and I think that price is so reasonable for what they are worth!           

 

 

Then oh...my...goodness, how beautiful is this. I really wanted a warm, winter coat that is going to keep me warm through the winter months, and I started my search for a parka jacket and could not find one that I fancied the look off, and then well, when I saw this featured in one of zoellas videos I was like Ive got to get it! Now for some of you the hood might be a little over powering and too much for you but for me it's what drew me in! But what the greatness about this coat is that it's going to keep you extremely warm throughout the winter as inside it is layered with fur which my goodness is so cosy and soft! It is at a price of £95 which for some may be a little to pricey but if your looking for a reliable, warm winter coat then this is defiantly the one!

 

Then finally, I  picked one up, some baby lips moisturising lip balm from Maybelline in the shade pink punch! I generally cannot get over how soft and smooth it is on your lips, I literally cannot stop myself sometimes and I have to force myself to put it down! I picked one up which had a hint of colour as i always like to have a little colour on my lips when I go out, but I think that I want a plain one for me to go to school as I am not aloud colour on my lips! 

It wasn't really a long post today but these are really the only things that I wanted to share with you all from the month of October! Oh I hope everyone had a great Halloween too and got lots of sweets, I know I did!
Sorry again for the lack of posting but hopefully I will find more spare time to do more exciting posts for you all!

Thanks for reading,

Fashion, rule #123

The other day I was lying in bed, bored out of my brain so I wondered over to my bookshelf and had a look at some of the books I had, and having a skim through them all I pulled out this beauty:

Victoria Beckham:- that extra half an inch, hair heels and everything in between

 

 

Now don't' get me wrong this is a old book and I've had it for years but yet each time I read it still engages me and inspires me even more!

 

Its all about fashion and Victoria Beckham's way off life, now I am not going to be describing to you what the book is about but what I am going to be on about is what I have taken from it.

 

'Whether you have £20 to spend in Topshop or £2,000 to spend at Gucci, looking good isn't about the money, its about style and style never goes out of fashion' - Victoria Beckham

 

I am not some expert in fashion and I have no qualifications on what's hot and what's not but I have a passion for fashion (oh look it rhymes) and I've been lucky enough that I can experiment with different types and styles of clothing.

 

 

I have many different fashion tastes whether that be boho and Indie or girly and sweet, in my opinion its great! If you can swap your style then go for it! So these are just my 3 fashion rules that I think help me with fashion!

 

Rule #1 - Don't feel like you are pined down to one fashion taste, go out and explore different styles and tastes, you might surprise yourself.

 

Be extra unordinary, something that you see in a shop you might think is a bit too dangerous for you, pick it up and buy it, what else is there to lose?

 

Rule #2 - Go for something that is out of your comfort zone, make heads turn but for all the right reasons.

 

Then finally, you will probably hear this phrases in some cheesy school club or some kids party but I am just going to come right out an say it...

 

Rule #3 - Have fun (and be yourself)

 

Fashion is a way in which you can show you individuality and personality and you need to show that off. Fashion may stress you out at times, deciding what to wear for your upcoming party or if you don't have enough money to buy that gorgeous skirt. But at the end of the day if you have a spark for fashion then have fun with it!

 

 

 

September favourites.

Here we go again another monthly favourites, time is literally passing by too quickly!! But never mind because it means that it nearer to Christmaaas, yes I have a uncontrollable amount of excitement for Christmas like I do every year, (come on I mustn't be the only one!) Stopping with my rambling on I have some really great items this month that hopefully you will love just as much as me!

For starters I am going to start with beauty favourites, so I picked this up the other week after living on crumb size amount for a while. Now all you beauty bloggers will know that this is probably one of the best powders around, the Rimmel London stay matte, long lasting pressed powder has been my beauty must have this month! I get the shade transparent just because I have pale skin so I don't want to over do my face with colour. This powder keeps natural shine under control which is great, so if you've just done P.E class and your just a little sweaty then you can dab some on and your good to go!

 
My next beauty favourite is the benefit high beam, I never used to wear highlighter until I discovered this. You apply it like you would nail varnish, so you stroke it on your cheek bones and then with your fingers rub it in creating a glowing look, it really brightens up your face. I got this in a benefit set but I am pretty sure you can buy this product individually, hopefully so because I will be making a re purchase once it has all ran out.
 

Going on to skin care, at the moment my skin is awful and has broke out with a load of spots, so my friend actually recommended this product to me so I went out and picked it up. The simple spotless skin, rapid action spot zapper actually did my face justice, now I didn't expect much from this as I do not with many spot cleansers but within a couple of days I saw rapid reduction of my spots. But the thing I love the most about this is that it isn't a cream that you apply with your fingers, there is a roll on ball. I recommend this product especially for people with sensitive skin as it is very gentle and smooth.
 

So I only have one clothes favourite  this month and they are these jeans, when I was browsing round new look I came across these high waisted denim jeans. I have wanted a pair of dark jeans for the autumn time as it fits in more with the season, so when I found these they were the perfect colour and at a reasonable price, and then when I found out they were high waisted I fell in love even more. High waisted jeans I think are easy to pair with all kinds of tops and just make a pair of jeans a little more fancy.
 

Then finally is the Victoria Secret body spray, now I have mentioned this spray before in one of my older posts but I literally love it so much! I got this at the very beginning on September and it hasn't been off my skin for the whole month, everyday before I go school I spray this on and I smell divine. But if you do buy this body spray make sure you hide it, my mums a pest at always borrowing it and not giving it back!

So there we have it another monthly favourites, I hope you have enjoyed reading, feel free to comment below your September favourite links as I would love to check them out!

this and that.

So a couple of days ago Amelia, from intomyimagination.blogspot.com tagged me in this great tag post, at first I didn't really know what it was all about but when I read hers it made sense and I couldn't wait to do it. So if you are reading this now then I tag YOU. 

Make-up:

 

1. Blush or bronzer? - Oooh that's a hard one, I would probably have to say blush because its always nice to give your cheeks a little bit of colour, but I do love bronzer for contouring! Overall though I prefer blusher.

 

2. Lipgloss or lipstick? - Definitely lipstick, lipsticks lasts on the lips a lot longer and gives a more polishing look!

 

3.Eyeliner or mascara? - Mascara 100%, as my eyes are so small mascara is essential in bringing them out and making them look fuller! Also I cannot apply eyeliner for my life, I always make a mess!

 

4. Foundation or concealer? - Probably foundation, my skin at the moment isn't at its best and you would have to use a lot of concealer to cover it all up, so you see foundation would be better as it essentially will cover more of those blemishes and imperfections.

 

5. Natural or coloured eyeshadow? - Natural eyeshadow for me, its easy to apply and doesn't look too much for just a simple day!

 

6. Pressed or loose eyeshadow? - pressed, loose is much more harder to apply and gets a little messy sometimes!

 

7. Brush or sponge? - I would have to say brush purely because I haven't used a sponge yet so I couldn't say if I like it or not.

 

Nails:

 

1. Opi or China Glaze? - Opi for sure, I love the finishing product on the nails!

 

2. Long or short? - I don't think I can say to be honest, I go through periods where I love having short nails and the way they look (Kim Kardashian always has short nails and they look fab,) but then when I have long nails and I add polish too them they look great too!

 

But both short and long nails only look nice if all your nails are the same length and filed nicely!

 

3. Natural or acrylics? - Natural just because acrylics ruin your nails a lot!

 

4. Bright or dark? - It depends on the time of year or season, at the moment I love darker nails as were in autumn/winter season!

 

5. Flower or no flower? - No flower probably, even though i do love nail art, simple nail polishes are always the best!

 

Body:

 

1. Perfume or body splash? - I have a mixed answer here, perfumer for evening events or more special times, but then body spray for school.

 

2. Lotion or body butter? - Body butter for sure, I love the texture and how it feels on the skin!

 

3. Body wash or soap? - I just go for soap normally, but if I get given body wash in a gift set then I will use that!

 

4. Lush or other? - LUSH.

 

Fashion:

 

1. Jeans or sweatpants? - Jeans, I don't really have those says when i just want to wear joggers, I'm always in jean or leggings.

 

2. Long sleeves or short sleeves? - Overall i prefer short sleeve but as winter is approaching it is more sensible to wear long sleeved items of clothing.

 

3. Dress or skirt? - I couldn't possible answer this, i love both of items!

 

4. Scarfs or hats? - Scarfs, they keep me all cosy and warm on those cold winter mornings!

 

5. Studs or dangling earrings? - For school were only allowed stud earrings so I have to wear them, but if I'm going out for a meal or party I like to jazz it up a little and wear dangling earrings.

 

6. Heels or flats? - Flats, I get my wear out of flats the most and there just super comfortable!

 

7. Cowboy boots or riding boots? - Riding boots just because I don't like cowboy boots at all!

 

8. Jackets or hoodies? - Jackets go with more and pull the whole outfit together.

 

9. Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe? - Since I have never been in a Charlotte Russe shop i would have to say forever 21.

 

Hair:

 

1. Curly or straight? - I love my hair either, but I do prefer my hair curly because I have crazy curly hair!

 

2. Bun or ponytail? - I really like either, but again on me i like my hair in a ponytail and a scrunchie...simple but effective.

 

3. bobby pins or butterfly clips? - bobby pins for sure, there much more easier to hide.

 

4. Hairspray or hair gel? - Hairspray hold everything in place whereas gel only holds down those loose pieces of hair.

 

5. Long or short? - I looooove long hair, you can do so much more with it.

 

6. Dark or Light? - Different people suit different coloured hair, on me i think i would only suit blonde, light hair.

 

7. Side swept bangs or full bangs? - Oooh, I think I prefer full bangs, they look more neat.

 

8. Up or down? - This isn't really answering the question but I love half up, half down! This is probably my everyday school hair at the moment!

 

Random:

 

1. Rain or shine? - Everyones got to love a little bit of sunshine, but is it just me that loves rain either at night or when your driving in the dark? I find it so relaxing!

 

2.Summer or winter? - Aaah this is so hard, I probably would have to say summer just because its a time where I can relax due to no school!

 

3. Fall or spring? - This answers a little bit of the question above but I do love fall too as its near to Christmas!

 

4. Chocolate or vanilla? - I have loved vanilla over chocolate since I can remember!

 

 

I would like to say thank you to Amelia for tagging me in this tag, I thoroughly enjoyed doing this post!

-what I wore.

Now I am starting off with something a bit cheesy, but I thought I might share with you what I have to say. I just want to say a big, big thank you to everyone, I'm nearly at 400 followers on twitter and even though I don't have a big audience it’s nice to know that even a couple of you read my blog, if anyone would like me to follow them on twitter either just follow me or leave a comment below with your username and I will follow you!

Anyway a couple of days ago my friend has her birthday party where I got to dress up in right autumn style, so I thought why not share with you what I wore with you!

For starters I wore this Plain Black Bardot top from misguided which was priced at £4.50, which is such a bargain I couldn't believe it!! At first I wasn't too sure about it as I always thought I have a really long neck, and as you wear it off both shoulders I thought that it would look stupid with too much skin showing. But with the whole outfit on together it didn't look stupid at all, actually it looked really cute! To make my neck not look too long, I added a gold chain to break it up a little.

I wore this tartan skirt which I have completely fallen in love with; it was bought from New Look and was approximately £18 which again is such a great price! This skirt is so autumn and literally looks so great on, I've seen a couple of these skirts around and always loved the way they looked on people, and not to blow my own trumpet here but I loved the way it looked on me and pulled together the whole outfit! It fits in with the season at the moment and I cannot wait to get my wear out of it.

Then for the shoes, I just wore my plain, low top white converse with some frilled socks. I didn't want some bold shoes that would take away from the skirt which was my statement piece of clothing, so I went for my converse because they are simple but still really cute!

For my hair finally, surprise, surprise I wore it half up half down, if you want to know how I got my curls then scroll down to see my post on it!

The Autumn Tag.

As we're in the Autumn season now I've seen this tag been featured in many people's blogs recently so I had to do it myself and give you my thoughts and opinions on the whole Autumn season.

Favourite thing about it?
oooh, the cosy nights in whilst drinking hot chocolate and the dark nights! But the most exciting thing for me is how it's leading up to Christmas!! (If you don't already know, I am crazy on Christmas!)

Favourite drink?
Probably the most common drink around this time off year is a good cup of hot chocolate!

Favourite scent // candle?
I'm obsessed with cinnamon scents, so I will definately be searching for candles with a hint of cinnamon for this Autumn.

Best lipstick?
I really love deep reds or a deep purples, I haven't bought it yet but I definately will be making a purchase of MAC rebel, this is such a statement colour.

Go to moisturiser?
I think that any moisturiser that suits your skin will be great, I'm not a huge moisturiser fan but I will definately be trying some in the up coming months, don't want my face to go dry and rough!

Go to colours for eyes?
For the autumn there's many colours for the eyes that really suit and match this time if year, for instence, red tones really complement a dark lip but also I love a mixture of brown // neutral colours.

Favourite music or band // singer to listen to?
For me it has to be my all time favourite singer Lana Del Rey, she has such an amazing voice and I can listen to her all year round.

Favourite outfit to wear?
I'm pretty sure most off you would say a thick, cosy jumper with some jeans and some cute ankle boots, such a simple and cosy outfit to wear.

Autumn treat?
I definately want to purchase rebel by MAC but I don't really have many candles so I might buy myself a Yankee candle, any scents you recommend?

Favourite place to be?
In the day probably at some cafe having a bight to eat with some friends but then on those cold, dark nights, at home watching a good film with the family!

iI anyone else has done the autumn tag then feel free to leave a comment or message me on twitter and I will definitely go check it out, love to know what everyone favourite things are for the Autumn season!
