Outfit: Winter Ready

Ten days since I wrote my last post, wow! Again like always college, university application, work and then also having a life has got the better of me so I have neglect my blog a little! At the moment I shall be(hopefully) writing a couple of posts a week and managing my time a lot better.

So recently It has got VERY cold in England. I'm a naturally cold person anyways and its only going to get colder. Finding a winter jacket that's going to keep me all cosy, with a hood for when it rains and one that I actually like is always a difficult one. I don't think I've very hard a real winter jacket so I was making it my mission this year to find one that I loved and that I can wear with pretty much everything!

(Photos aren't the best..) Jacket: Miss Selfridge Dress: Topshop(old) Shoes: Topshop (sale) 

 

Now I do feel like a little lion with this Parka (but I mean come on who doesn't want to be a lion?). This jacket is from Miss Selfridge, I decided I wanted a khaki green coat which I know is pretty common but in my wardrobe is very different but still goes with everything!

 

Inside has a lush wool lining to keep me nice a warm and of course the faux fur on the hood is just amazing! I'm not normally a huge fan of faux fur but I've seen it everywhere at the moment and I kind of like it. 

 

Anyways rambling as normal! Have you found your winter jacket?

Outfit: Cute and Girly!

The other day I was feeling something a little more 'girly' then other things I have been wearing recently. I pulled out this ASOS dress with blue deers/fawns on which I wore a lot through the summer, I haven't gave it as much love lately so I was exited to wear it again the other day.

The dress is a lovely smock dress! very big and comfy, it is a very thick material and even though it is so big it fits really nicely and is very flattering! I kept things simple as always with just black tights, black boots and a black leather jacket!

Hope you enjoyed

Outfit: Old favorites!

So when the seasons change, bring out old favourites from the years before is great! I'm a student so getting the use out of everything I buy is very important. I bought this little skirt last year from Topshop.

I remember buying it as I absolutely loved it but didn't really think I would get much wear out of it, turns out I pretty much wore it all last winter so I was very exited when I was able to wear it again the other day because it was so cold outside! It is a woollen mini skirt which again isn't something I would normally pick out but I love the purples in it and the tartan pattern.

I decided just to play it safe with what to wear with it so I just wore a Topshop black scalloped top and black Primark boots. This skirt can be dressed up or down though and I will be wearing it a lot again this year!

Outfit: Feeling like a grown up

This little outfit is a typical monochrome look for me which I just love! I like this outfit, feels very sophisticated and grown up hahah

This little dress is from Urban Outfitters from a little while ago that I managed to grab in the sale! I love it with the gingham print and of course the collar, I do love a good collar, but the only problem with this dress is that it is sleeve less so wearing it right now is a little tricky as its got very cold out.

I just placed this long sleeved black crop top over it just to keep myself a little more cosy and warm, I really like the look of it and thing it just looks part of the dress. Lastly I just placed my black primark boots on just keeping it simple and of course black tights.

Hope you enjoyed

Review: Maybelline Colour Elixir's

 Hey guys! Today I thought I'd do a mini review on the 'new' Maybelline colour elixir's. Now I say 'new' like that because there pretty new to the UK but even then they must have been out for a month or so now, I cant really remember. I've been testing and wearing these two shades, 105 Petal blush and 705 Blush essence, ever since I got them and I have to say I'm in love!

(105 Petal blush then 705 blush essence)

(105 Petal blush on lips)

(705 Blush essence on lips)

 

I picked the pinker colours of the bunch as I wear these the most and I think they suit my skin colour the most. These Colour elixir's are amazing though, very pigmented and glossy but are also like balms and feel very moisturising on the lips.  

 

105 Is a really nice light nude-ish pink. It has a slight simmer in it but you cant feel it on the lips. This one just adds a nice glossy to the lips with a little pigmentation, that just gives that 'your lips but better' kind of colour. I find It to look much better when blended and patted into the lips.

 

705 Blush essence is a really pretty pink. It reminds me a lot of Tanya Burrs lipgloss in Aurora apart from Tanyas has simmer running through it but the Maybelline has none. The pigmentation of this one is great and looks nice put on normally or blended a little.

 

They are a really nice glosses and are great for autumn and winter as they are very balm like and both colours are great for day to day wear.
