MY WINTER FAVES.


Hello everyone! So I thought I'd share what I have been loving this winter! The first thing is just a simple plain black jumper. If you don't have one, get one. They go with everything and look good with jeans skirts and over dresses. I like to layer my jumpers with a white shirt underneath with the collar popping out! I recently purchased a camel coat from Primark and I have literally lived in it! Onto my makeup favourites. Kate Moss lipstick in 107 is my go too lipstick in the winter as it's the perfect berry shade. I have the Naked 2 palette from Urban Decay and I love it so much! The colours are perfect and you can create so many looks with it! My all time favourite thing is my black matte doc martens! I literally wear them with every piece of clothing! And finally a simple watch! I got mine from Urban Outiftters and its just a finishing touch to every outfit!

CHRISTMAS WISHLIST.


So here it is (merry Christmas), my Christmas wishlist! Christmas is just around the corner so if you need some ideas for last minute Christmas shopping or some ideas for yourself this is perfect for you! Recently I have been absolutely loving the Kanken bags! It is on my Christmas list so I'm definatly hoping even though they are quite expensive. Rookie is a blog I have been following for a long time now and I want all of their yearbooks especially the first one! I'm really into makeup and trying different things and while I was in selfridges the other day at the NARS counter I saw this NARS Duel intensity glitter eyeshadow and its such a beautiful colour especially for Christmas. Of course I threw a few Lush products in there. Last year I had the Santas lip scrub and it was amazing so I'd like that again this year and its the perfect stocking filler! 

I hope this gave you some Xmas inspiration or just to see what's on my list!

AND THE FESTIVITIES BEGIN...




Hat: Primark
Rings: Bershka
Dress: George @ ASDA
Coat: Primark
Shoes: Doc Martens Original

I went to a Christmas Market in Worcester today ad it was lovely! Everywhere was decorated so Christmassy and every one was so joyful! I'm extremely excited for Christmas so going to places like this makes me rather happy. I had my Christmas music playing all day in my head and I was looking out for gift ideas while at the markets! We stopped at a Costa Coffee and I had the tastiest Orange Hot Chocolate ever! I felt so Christmassy and warm while drinking it I must say. I did pick up a few things for myself! I got a heart shaped Slate board where I can write notes on. I got a pair of earrings in the shape of Christmas Wreaths and I finally got the butter bear from Lush because obviously I can't go shopping without buying something from there!

CHRISTMAS WITH LUSH.









 
Hello Lovelies. I know some people may say it's too early to start getting excited for Christmas but it is November and I think its perfectly ok to start preparing for the festive season! Lush is and has always been my favourite when its the winter and Christmas time! Everything seems so magical and fun and cute. I went into Lush the other day and got way too excited and thought I'd only get Christmas things! So that's exactly what I did.
The first thing is one of my favourites and I get it every Year and that is Candy Mountain! I love it so so much! I'm in love with the scent of Snow Fairy and this is very similar and of course I love the bubbles! A new one which I haven't had before is the Butter Bear. But he looks super cute and is amazing for your skin! Another one of my favourites is Luxury Lush Pud. This is just incredible in the bath and makes the most amazing colours! It also smells exactly like Christmas so it is perfect! Finally Melting Snowman! The cutest little bath melt ever! He's kind of missing an eye so im not sure about that but he is also amazing for your skin and is just super cute! I think it's safe to say i'm in love with Lush.

COSMO EDIT: FASHION SHOW
















What's up guys?! On Sunday 28th on September, I went to a fashion show!! It was the Autumn/Winter fashion fix show which took place in Birmingham. I was invited to take a seat on the front row so I did! It was such a good show and definitely made me want to buy some things! It showed the new season trends from Top Shop/ Top Man, River Island, Whistles and Reiss. The makeup was done by Urban Decay and I loved it with an absolute passion! Trends this A/W included, Red, Faux Fur, Tapestry/folk, Metallics and Pastels. My personal favourites were Pastels for that 60's Twist and Metallics to totally transform an outfit.

Weekend OOTD!

Hello everyone!

It is indeed the weekend! That consists of two days which means two outfits - clever counting laura! I'm going to show you two outfits and I will hopefully inspire your outfit choices!

So on Saturday I was a little dressy but fashion is a statement not a style, fashion does not have to be worn casually nor outside the runway! So it does not matter!


Shoes: Top shop, Necklace & Rings: Primark, Bracelet: H&M, Frilly Socks: Primark, Dress: Primark!
So this outfit looks quite classy, old school but also very modern! I love it and wear this probably too much but it never gets old and seems to look different each time!

Sunday! On Sunday I went to the Pub with my family and its so lovely in there! It also has a very good WIFI connection!
Jumper: ASOS & eBay, Necklace: Primark, Boots: George-ASDA
So I wore jeans with this outfit but I left the bottoms out as you could pair it with leggings, jeans or even a skirt! My jumper is quite oversized so its very very comfortable and its my favourite jumper ever! The boots are just a must have for every outfit- they're so comfy! For me comfort is key so I like a lot of things that make me feel nice!


What did you do this weekend? Anything fancy or did you just chill?
Love you lovelies!

Winter Warmth!

Hello everyone!

So it's winter here in England and many other places around the world and that means it's very very cold! At night time I get rather chilly and layer up a lot! I sleep with lots of blankets on just to keep myself warm!

So I thought I'd share with you what I do to keep warm and I'm going to give you my little tips on how to stay cosy in these winter months!

When I get in from school, I like to make a hot drink! I'm the type of person that doesn't like to wear proper clothes when there's no need to, I like to be comfortable, so as soon as I come in and have my hot drink I put my pyjamas on and chill out! When I say 'chill out' that means messing around on my phone, tweeting my socks of! 
Talking about socks, cosy slipper socks are a must have! If your feet are warm, your body is warm! I tuck my bottoms into my socks and put these cute bootie slippers on!






I don't just wear my pyjamas as that doesn't keep me too warm but what I do wear as well is a dressing gown or a fleece poncho! For Christmas I got some cosy keepers! This is a Minnie Mouse style fleece poncho which I just throw on over my pyjamas or even clothes and it keeps me snuggly! I also got this pink and white hooded dressing gown which feels amazing!



Keeping yourself busy also helps you stay warm! If your doing something you won't notice being cold! I don't necessarily mean go running to get warm because I'm very lazy in the winter and going out in the cold to get warm doesn't make sense to me so I potter around in my room, on the computer, or reading! I love reading a lot and lying in bed while having a read is quite relaxing! 


I always try and write when I'm not doing anything and I really enjoy it!

 

Having a cosy room makes you feel cosy too I feel, so I have little fairy lights around my bed and it makes my room look so pretty!


So what do you do in your room, or in the winter when it's too cold to go out?

Love you lovelies!

Christmas and Tartan!

Hello Everyone!

So, it's Winter and that just means Christmas Christmas and more Christmas! I'm so excited and I get so excited for the new clothing that Winter brings!
 
I went shopping the other day and went looking for TARTAN. I wasn't able to find the dress I needed in my size, but when I got home I went on to the one and only boohoo.com and ordered a Tartan Peter Pan Collar dress! I'm so excited for it, as tartan has now become my favourite thing this Winter! This style is rather big this year, so no wonder why I love it so much! I have also ordered a Bowler Hat, to finish off the look; I think the pair would look amazing with brogues or boots!

I have also purchased a tartan scarf from New Look, it's so warm and cosy. I love Winter and the colours that it connotes, so Christmas for me is definitely the best time of year!

What's your favourite Winter style?

Love you lovelies!

My October Favourites!

October has just been and gone, so I'm going to tell you what my monthly favourites were!
These are my Top 5 that I have used frequently in October and still use now:

  1. Kate <3 Rimmel London Lipstick in 107 - I love the colour of this lipstick, it feels very autumnal and looks great!

  1. Batiste Dry Shampoo Monochrome - The 'Batiste Dry Shampoo' is brilliant for when you're feeling lazy! I got it in monochrome, because, well, it looked pretty!

  1. Maybelline Baby Lips: Hydrate - Baby Lips is very popular recently and I totally understand why, it's brilliant and leaves your lips feeling hydrated!

  1. Starbucks: Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate - This Starbucks drink is one of my favourite's, it's Christmassy and warm when you're cold from a nice walk or a shopping spree!

  1. Babylis Ombre Hair Straighteners - The 'Ombre Hair Straighteners' are brilliant, they leave your hair feeling soft and also give brilliant waves!

I hope you've found this interesting!
Please share your October Favourites with me and follow and come back for more!

Love you lovelies!
