AUTUMN/WINTER WISHLIST



How BEAUTIFUL would this outfit look? I love it. I know it's all black (apart from the fedora) but I just think it would look so flattering on. I would definitely wear this outfit to university or if I was going out shopping. However I reckon you could probably dress it up with a few more accessories and wear it out to drinks or going to a bar. But to be honest, you can wear this outfit wherever you would want too, it's just so versatile! 

I would probably say the boots are my favourite thing out of all of the pieces. They're just so different and they really make the outfit. However the dress, oh I do love a shirt dress, just looks soooo wearable. 

Now, i'm definitely a high street girl but some of these items are not so high street...But I just had to include them because they're just too beautiful. 

So..

The shirt dress - farfetch.com - £302 
Leather Jacket - New Look - £99.99 
Fedora - River Island - £28
Black Bag - Asos - £38
Ring - Asos - £3.00
Boots - Alexander Wang - £565 .. (I know, its heartbreaking)


If I wanted those Alexander Wang boots then I'd probably not be able to eat for about 6 months but let's not dwell on the negative stuff..
I hope some of you like this look and check it all out on ASOS.COM!

NOVEMBER HAUL..IN PICTURES ♥

So, I actually need to be banned from shopping, because it's getting out of hand. I simply cannot stop myself. But oh well, I bought some pretty things. I've been feeling stressed out recently because of the amount of uni work I have, so I decided to buy myself some christmas presents (yes that is my excuse). 

So first of all I headed to Lush.. 

Lush have all of their new Christmas stuff in and I really could not resist myself. Also, I just love their products in general, I find they really work with my skin and I love the ingredients they use in their products. So I picked up some skin care stuff too. I've recently ran out of my chocolate face mask tub thing so I wanted to get myself a new one! 




I bought the 'BB Seaweed' fresh face mask and you have to keep it in the fridge otherwise it will go off. The lovely man in Lush recommended this one if I wanted to brighten up my skin and make my skin super soft, which sounded good to me. It smells a bit minty..and also a bit like oatmeal or porridge. Not the nicest of scents but hopefully it'll do the job.




Secondly, I picked up 'The Mask Of Magnaminty'. It smells so minty which I think will make my skin feel so clean and fresh. If you have skin that is prone to sometimes breaking out (which mine is) this stuff is supposed to help keep spots at bay. I'm looking forward to giving this one a go.


Moving onto the Christmas stuff, I HAD to pick this one up. It's called 'The Christmas Penguin'. He's so cute, and the John Lewis advert made me love penguins even more. This one is definitely called Monty. (If you haven't watched the John Lewis advert go and watch it now and you'll get what i'm going on about). He smells like the traditional powdery soapy smell which I love. This one is a bubble bar, which means it will last you several baths! You simply break bits off and crumble it under the bath and it will make your bath all bubbly and smell delicious! 


Then finally this one. Which blogger has NOT talked about this?! It's called 'Holly go Lightly'. I've seen this bubble bar all over the blogesphere and YouTube! I want to see what all the fuss is about. All I can see is it smells exactly like Christmas. If you drink Chai lattes, then you'll know what I mean. I currently have glitter EVERYWHERE but I don't care because I love glitter and it's so god damn pretty! 

Moving onto fashion bits.. 



I picked up these super cool brogues from New Look, and they were only £17.99. I work in New Look, so I often see what comes in and what I like and want to buy. As soon as I saw these I loved them and so look really smart on. They are actually really comfy, much comfier than I thought and I know i'm going to get loads of wear out of these.



The next thing is this light grey leather kind of skater skirt from River Island. I'm not 100% whether to keep this or not. I think I need to try it on with a few different outfits. I just thought it looked really cute and flattering on, and I love that neutral colour. The fact that it's leather makes it even better..Any help?



I have also picked up two jumpers from Zara. The pictures above show the first one I bought which I think is so flattering. Who doesn't love a black jumper? From the front it looks like your average useful jumper, but at the back, as you can see from the second picture, it has a deep V cut out of it (excuse my bra). This jumper looks wicked with super skinny jeans or leather look leggings and boots. As i'm blonde, black seems to just suit me and flatter me, so this jumper is a big thumbs up from me, and it was only £24.99.



The second one is almost like a jumper dress. You'd probably have to be quite brave to wear it as a dress haha, but I think it looks great with ripped skinnies, leggings or some patterned trousers. I LOVE the look of an oversized jumper and I also LOVE roll necks, so once again, Zara has killed it! PLUS, it was only £19.99 which I think is amazing value. 



Lastly, I went to Brandy Melville for the first time! It is such an adorable shop. Really cute, laid back and comfy clothing. Really reminded me of Urban Outfitters. If you want to check it out, theres one just off Carnaby st, Fouberts Place. I bought this super cute silver ring with a clear gem in the middle, and this long chain silver necklace with two conjoined circles in the bottom which I will get so much wear out of. I'm really into silver jewellery at the moment, I think it looks so chic and sophisticated.

SO, thats the last of my November haul in pictures. 
Please ask me any questions if you want to know more about the items!

Three new autumn lipsticks..

I popped into Boots the other day and I was browsing through the make up isles and they had a 3 for 2 offer on over all make up brands.. so obviously I couldn't help myself. I wanted to pick up a couple of new lipsticks because I'm running out of my Kate Moss Rimmel 03 lipstick which is the best neutral shade, and I wanted to try a few new ones. I also love wearing bolder lipsticks in the autumn to brighten up your face a bit. 






The three lipsticks I picked up are by Maybelline. (From left to right) The shades are 'Coffee Craze', 'Velvet Beige' and 'Pleasure me Red'. They are all such beaaaaautiful colours! 






This one is 'Coffee Craze'. It's a really lovely neutral browny shade with a slight shimmer to it. It's so wearable and gorgeous for the autumn winter months. I love wearing this lip colour with an all black outfit and a subtle smokey eye for the super autumnal look! 





This shade is the 'Velvet Beige'. Once again it's quite a neutral shade (I love neutral shades..) but it has a slight hint of raspberry pinky plumy tones. It looks so gorgeous on and really compliments my skin tone. I'd wear this lipstick during the day but I also feel like I could wear it on a night out or if I went out for drinks somewhere. 




Lastly.. 'Pleasure me Red'. Who doesn't love a good red lipstick? This red isn't too blood red or pink red.. it just sits perfectly in the middle. It has a really subtle shimmer in it and it is just so pretty. Such a perfect shade for autumn.




All of these three lipsticks are such a lovely texture. They seem to just glide on my lips, and they do stay on well, I don't feel like i'm constantly re applying. At only £6.99 each (and 3 for 2) go and grab yourself some.

I hope you like this post, give me a comment on what you think!
