Lazy day outfit!

So especially around this time of year we all have them days when we have to get up and get out but moving from your bed in that moment literally seems like the hardest thing you'll ever have to do!
Well I've had a few of them days lately and finding a outfit on them days are impossible.. Nothing feels right, you want something that's warm and comfy but still feels nice and looks cute!
 

 
 
 
For me this is a perfect outfit! Now I'm not a leggings kind of girl but these cute patterned ones from Topshop are great... plain black but with this cute diamond velvet/felt pattern on them! The little loafer slippers are so cute as well but still comfy and not as heavy as a boot.
I decided to pair my big white shirt over the top, It just gives a clean fresh look to the outfit and because of the big box cut you don't need to worry about not feeling your best that day. The big raspberry boyfriend style coat was something I bought last year from Topshop(can you tell I like topshop) in the sale. I don't think I paid much more then a tenner and I cant example how much
wear I get out of it in the autumn/winter time when its freezing!!
I decided to put my hair up in a high ponytail otherwise It would have drove me insane all day!haha I just placed this little blue bandana in my hair from river island which Is great! It always adds something to a outfit even if its just a pop of colour and also makes me want to wear my hair up more!!
 
Hope you enjoyed

The Mom Jean

So after lustring over a pair of mom Jeans for a very long time I decided a couple of weeks ago to finally go and try a pair on. People always look amazing in them but I wasn't sure If I would be able to pull them off, how I would wear them or if I would feel comfortable in them because there not a normal standard skinny pair of jeans.
I now have a bit of a obsession with them...
 
Topshop Mom Jeans; Loving youth top(Topshop); Primark boot; Rimmel London 107 lipstick.

 


These are just three ways I would style the mom jean but I've found that most things look great with them, There really comfortable and when you cant really be bothered with a skinny jean then these are a great alternative and not as baggy as a boyfriend jean! So if your like me and they scare you just a little bit then go and try a them on... You might just fall in love!

Review: A blush you might want to eat..

Saying you want to eat a brusher many sound a little bit crazy but I have found one that if it looked more appealing I'm not going to lie I probably would have tried by now...
The new Majorette cream to powder blush by Benefit is delicious, It smells of peaches and pomegranates which being two of my favourite fruits of course I'm going to love the blush before I've even tried the thing out!



I do prefer a cream blush.. there much easier to apply to the cheeks because if your having a bit of a lazy day or you have to be up early for college/school/work then being able to apply a blush with your fingers is of course a easy useful step but in autumn/winter time having a powder blush is just a bit nicer when your make up starts to move to the more matte-ish looking finish.
I have to admit I think this blush is applied better with a brush. I've just been using the real techniques stippling brush to apply it which is just a great little brush anyways for any cream blushers.

This blush Is really lovely though(even ignoring the smell). It can be used on its own to add a little pop of colour or underneath other blushes which I don't do myself because that's just another step to add to my daily makeup routine and I think it works lovely on its one just adding a nice peach flush! I normally go for the more pink kind of colours when it comes to a blush but this one is really lovely and just warms up your face which is needed at the moment because I have been looking a little like a ghost (I know Halloween is coming up but I don't want to look like a ghost all the time)

 (Cant even really tell on this picture)
 As normal for benefit the packaging is adorable and a delight for your makeup bag so I'd be going to your local counter to check this one out!

Hope your enjoyed

Autumn Lips


Left to Right: Mac Rebel, Revlon lip butter macaroon, Arcancil Paris 380 prune diva, Rimmel London Apocalips eclipse, Rimmel kate matte 107, Rimmel London kate 08, Mac Sheen supreme bare again, Chanel Rouge allure velvet 40 la sensuelle.

So after one of my last posts talking about the glorious Mac rebel lipstick I decided that I would show you guys some of my other favourite autumn/winter lipsticks. I've already spoke about Macs rebel so I wont bore you with that but here's a little thing for the rest!!

Revlon Lip Butter macaroon:  The Revlon lip butters are great because there so moisturising but the colour pay off is amazing! The colour macaroon is a really nice pink/peach (In the picture it looks really peach but its actually darker in person) and it has gold glitter in it which is really nice and isn't to over the top on the lips.

Arcancil Paris Prune Diva 380: Now I bought this lipstick last year when I went to Paris, I've never seen the brand before, I believe its Arcancil Paris but I'm not fully sure haha I love the colour though its a really dark raspberry! Its darker then Rimmel 107, it isn't matte and has a lush golden sheen to it!

Rimmel London Apocalips Eclipse: This Rimmel London liquid lipsticks are amazing! They aren't really glossy but just have a nice shine to them and they don't go all over your face or teeth (bonus!) This colour in Eclipse is a really nice purple/pink muted colour not as bright as other purple-ish lipsticks but still great for if your wanting something a little less dramatic.

Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick 107: So the famous Rimmel Kate Moss 107 lipstick will not surprise any of you because I think everyone loves and brings this lipstick out every autumn/winter but its just the best raspberry red matte lipstick that I think suits everyone!

Rimmel Kate Lipstick 08: This lipstick has been my favourite everyday lipstick at the moment when it comes to a more natural kind of nude. I do prefer a nude that has a bit of a pink tone to it as I Just think it suits my completion a bit better and this one is perfect because its a more darker toned pink lipstick rather then a bright one which is just perfect!

Mac Sheen Supreme Bare Again: Again like the Rimmel 08 this is a great autumn/winter nude! It has a pinkish undertone to it but also has that classic brown nude look to it. Its a lot more glossy then the Rimmel London lipstick but not overly glossy.

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet 40 La Sensuelle: So a very luxurious lipstick but I had to feature it! Its a matte lipstick but you would never have guessed if someone put it on your lips and you didn't know what it was because its so moisturising but looks matte on the lips... its crazy! I suppose it makes sense with the not very nice price tag but I do think its nice to spurge sometimes! Its a really nice raspberry/berry colour (very standard for me as you can tell)

Small Festive Lush Haul!




Soo some of my favourite Youtubers and bloggers (Fashionrocksmysocks&Zoella) have posted huge Lush hauls with all of the new festive products for Christmas and Halloween which got me very exited and running to the lush store as soon as I could!!
So I know a lot of people will be thinking its only the start of October, its a little early for Christmas things but I've been having a bath nearly every night lately because its just got so cold over the last week or so.. I hate the smell of Lush so its not very often that I actually go in but I knew what I wanted so I run in and grabbed them(I also had a train to catch so I needed to be speedy).

The only thing I don't love about lush products especially around Christmas time is all of the glitter that comes on everything so I stayed away from all of that kind of products and just went with the plain (adorable) ones!


  The melted snowman: This little guy is so cute and smells exactly like Christmas.. Think of Christmas and this is exactly what you get! It smells all warm and spicy which are just one of my favourite scents! It is a bath melt so he just melts away in your bath exactly like a snowman would and just leaves a lovely smell with oils which are great for your skin.. I used the snowman when I got in from college before uploading this post and my skin honestly feels as soft as a babies bottom and I can still smell it on my skin now!


The Christmas Penguin: So mine and my bestfriends (Hey Emma!) favourite animals are penguins so of course I had to pick this little guy up, He's soooooooo cute!  This is a bubble bar so when you run him under hot water it creates amazing bubbles! This little guy also smells like citrus/fresh goodness!



Butterbear: So like the cuteness form the melted snowman and Christmas penguin I couldn't leave the little bear behind.. I felt like he was giving me puppy dog eyes(Yes I'm that sad). The Butterbear smells like chocolate which I don't normally like but he just smells all rich like chocolate and vanilla milkshake! He's also a bathbomb so he fizzes and dissolves when you place him in the tub.

So white: Last but not least I got another plain but great bathbomb only this one smells like apples, citrus and just a really clean/fresh smell. Again this just fizzes and also has a pink coloured rose centre which I'm exiting to see what it actually looks like when in the bath.

So as you can see I didn't go to over board or really get a lot but I'm VERY exited and will probably(definitely)  be going back to get some more festive treats!

Hope you enjoyed this little haul

Summer to Autumn

So over the summer I bought a few different dresses that were sleeveless, at the time I loved them but now Its getting to be a bit to cold to wear them which I'm not very happy about.
Recently I bought some of these basic scalloped tops from Topshop and they've become a great basic piece in my wardrobe that I've been pairing with many different things! There very simple but are so cute with the scalloped edgy on the bottom and on the sleeve.
 
Now of course they look really nice with just Jean, trousers and skirts which is what I originally bought them for, especially for the days when you just want to be snuggled in bed all day when its wet and windy outside (most of the time In England then) BUT then my brain had a little light bulb go off and I realised they look lush underneath them summer dresses that are sleeveless..
 

Primark boots
Urban outfitters socks
 


Forever 21 dress
Primark boots
Urban outfitters socks
 
I love pairing things underneath my dresses but normal it would put a shirt with a collar on underneath rather then just a t-shirt but I really like how they look! The outfits are just really easy and cosy to wear which is perfect for autumn when its cold outside!
 
Hope you enjoy and give you inspiration to turning your summer outfits into autumn ones
