OOTD: Paisley Print

Hi Everyone!

I again want to apologise for my lack of posts and how inconsistent I am at the moment. Since just starting back to school, I've been working hard to keep on top of all the work especially as exams are getting closer. Hopefully there should be some new posts coming out every saturday from this weekend, and any additional posts that I get time to make as well. I'm also hoping that in future posts I will be able to use my bridge camera, especially for pattern posts, as they come out a lot better!

Anyway, today I've got an OOTD form saturday. The photos aren't the best as they were taken on my phone but hopefully they aren't too bad!

Coat - Zara Studio // Blazer - New Look // Top - H&M // Shorts - Topshop // Boots - Topshop

At the moment It's still freezing in England so I decided to layer up a little on my top half in an effort to balance out the fact that I'm wearing shorts. I got these shorts from Topshop in May last year and  they are one of my favourite pieces. I've not worn them in a few months because I was struggling to find a way to wear them in winter. I think the key to wearing a bold print on the bottom is to with completely clash on the top with a bold print or keep it simple, with clean lines. I decided that a black top and white blazer would make it look simple and crisp. I love the small, orange and cream paisley print on these shorts, they are totally different to the rest of the shorts in my wardrobe. I also love the fact that they aren't really short which seems to be a recurring theme when it comes to the shorts on the high street at the moment!

The coat in this outfit is the same as one I've worn in a previous post that I sourced in a charity ship in Whitby for just £4, Zara Studio coats sell full price at over £250 so to say I was ecstatic is an understatement. Finally the boots I'm wearing in this post are actually my sisters, but I think I've probably worn them more than she has! They have a chunky heel thats about 2" and the toe cap is studded with small gold studs.

Thanks for reading guys! I'd love to hear any post recommendations or other comments that you have so leave them below!

Small Piece of Golden Perfection

Hi Guys!

No I've not gone mad, if you're looking at the title, I've just fallen in love. I went on a lovely sales shopping spree in Leeds with my bestie and bought one if my favourite products to date. So it want actually a sale item (which defeats the point of a trip to the sales) but I've had my eye on one of these wonders for a while.

MUA Palettes

Hi Guys!

So today I've got a small post on one of my favourite drugstore products, the MUA eyeshadow palettes. 

I own three of the palettes, from left to right they are: Heaven & Earth, Undress Me To and Undressed... 

Skincare Splurge

Hello Lovelies!

For the first time in my life, the winter has had a huge affect on my skin. Its completely dried up, which I found odd as if anything my skin is usually oily. When I woke up yesterday owning there were areas of skin on my face that were actually peeling. I decided that I couldn't take it anymore, so with a shopping trip already planned for the day I headed out in search of hydration. I ended up buying some higher end skincare saviours and some Boots Essential skincare items which I thought I would give a whirl.

Firstly I want to apologise for the quality of these photos. The lighting at the moment is really bad, seeing as there is pretty much no natural light at all, simply because of the time of the year. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to photos and it really annoys me when they just aren't right, but I was eager to get this post up for you.

OOTD: Black & Blue

Hi Guys!

It feels like a while since I've done a fashion post so I thought I'd do one today! Christmas is getting so close so I went to Meadowhall with my mum and sister to get some last minute prezzies!

I have a really unhealthy obsession with dark clothes. Half of my wardrobe is black or grey and for today's outfit I wanted to add a pop of colour. 

TAG: Beauty Talk

Hey Guys!

So I've got a TAG post today! My friend Jess at jessicasbeautygarden.blogspot.com asked me to do a tag that she had created! Its all about beauty throughout the year and Christmas beauty loves and tips! So here it goes…

What products have stood out to you this year?

This year I have become totally obsessed with my MAC eyeshadows. I also think that one of the best eye products this year, for me, has been the Maybelline Colour Tatoos! The Hoola Bronzer by Benefit is a fairly new addition to my makeup collection but I am obsessed with it! Its just the best bronzer I've tried. Finally the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks are just amazing quality for such an affordable price, one should be on everyone's Christmas list!

November Favourites

Hi Guys...

I can't believe its already December, I'm starting to get excited for christmas now! I decided that I'm going to do monthly favourites on my blog so heres the first!

So this month I've been loving some of my products that are cult favourites, so this could be boring for those of you who follow me on instagram (you can follow me here). I think all of these product are worth the money and are currently always in my makeup bag. Also I apologise for how messy all my products are in the photos! I was in a bit of a rush whilst taking them.
