Cold autumn outfits..

So, today was my first day back at uni (i know it's soooo late) and it was actually quite enjoyable. I'm looking forward to learning more about certain subjects, which is definitely positive. 
Anyway it has only just started getting really cold and autumn like. I'm actually really happy about this because I can whack out my winter coats at last! I love this look because it's super cute and casual, but the coat adds a slight androgynous but formal look to it. The coat has to have a special mention because it was such a bargain. It was £24.99 full price in H&M! How good is that? And it has wool in it! Such good value, I suggest you all run down to H&M and grab one! It's so warm and I feel like this coat is so versatile. You can style it with any look and outfit, so perfect for me! 

Dress - Zara TRF
Boots - New Look

All the stuff i'm really is really recent and still in the shops. 

ALSO I finally got my hair chopped off today which i'm so happy about. I feel like I could maybe go shorter? I'm not sure..

Loads of love,

Shopping day outfit..

So Westfield in Stratford had a big student event the other day where loads of stores were offering 20% off, so obviously I had to go! The outfit I wore was really casual and comfy, but I liked the way it looked. I know the lighting in the photos aren't great but i'm still getting used to my camera and it's settings! 

Oversized denim shirt - Blitz (Vintage), White high neck t-shirt - H&M, Grey trousers - Zara, Snakeskin pumps - New Look 

The colours are all very neutral which is why they go well together and make the look so relaxed. I love the trousers because they can look formal with a shirt and a duster coat, however you can dress them down what i've done here and wear them with some pumps or trainers and t-shirt.

New Looks new beauty range!

So, New Look have released a new beauty range called 'Pure' and I actually think it's pretty good. They have a huge range of nail varnishes, eye shadow palettes, eyebrow pencils, lipsticks, glosses and perfumes. I've bought two nail varnishes, Shell Pink - 72 and Light Grey - 08. They're both pretty neutral colours, so they're super versatile which is what I love about them. I'm not hugely into the hot pinks and neon oranges. I'm currently wearing Shell Pink and it's a really easy application, not gooey or lumpy it just glides on your nails and it doesn't take ages to dry, about 2/3 minutes. I haven't actually applied a over coat yet however it hasn't chipped at all which I'm impressed about! 

Moving onto the Perfumes, I think they have four to choose from. I chose 'Pure Devotion'. I think it's a really attractive smell (does that even make sense?!), It kind of smells a bit like Chanel no5. It doesn't smell cheap at all. However it doesn't last all day, so you will probably have to apply a second time to keep the smell all day. They're all quite light, floral smells and for only £7.99, I might go any buy another!

Light Grey

Definitely go and check out their new beauty range!

Spontaneous make up purchase

Good evening! So, earlier on I went on a dog walk with my mum as it was such a lovely evening. It felt so nice and autumnal, which I've been looking forward to for ages now! I think I was tired of cami tops, bright colours and strappy dresses at least a month ago now, i'm so ready for roll neck jumpers, statement coats and chunky scarves. Anyway, way off subject, after the dog walk we popped into boots to buy the benefit mascara for a family friends 18th. They had a deal on that if you buy two benefit products you get a mini goodie bag full of benefit testers. Obviously we had to do that, so it was up to me to purchase something from benefit, which wasn't difficult.. it was a toss up between 'Gimme Brow' or their new cream blush 'Majorette'. I decided to go for Majorette as I have been looking for a cream blush for ages and the girl at the benefit counter had it on and it looked lovely. It was £23.50 which is pretty standard for a benefit product. I've tried it and I think I really like it. You can wear it over or under powder but I think it looks better under. It adds a really nice pinkish glow on your cheeks, it kind of almost acts as a slight highlighter. What you can also do it put it on the crease of your eyes, and it adds a really pretty brightening effect. All in all, a pretty good buy. Annnnnnd it was spontaneous which makes it better and more exciting. (lol)

Holidays Blues..

Okay so I have only been back from Gran Canaria for about 5 hours and I'm already feeling so so depressed. It was literally 10 days of pure bliss. It was hot, I read on the beach all day, went out for lovely meals every night, swam in clear blue sea.. I wish I could re live the whooooole thing. But now I'm home and it's back to normality (WHY), and back to work. 
I work in New Look which isn't too bad, 50% clothes comes in handy occasionally! Plus I'm also trying (and failing) to save for a car.. Fingers crossed! 

So above are just some pictures from the holiday. 
The top picture is on the local beach which was 2 minutes from our hotel. It was so so beautiful.

The second picture we went out for a really nice meal, and I thought if i wear all white i may look more tanned..
Top - Cameo Rose
Skirt - Boohoo.com
Shoes - New Look

The third picture was actually taken on the last night, and those sunbeds were on our balcony, and we never actually used them. You can't really see what I'm wearing but it was a cute outfit, navy stripes culottes (topshop) and a grey bralet (topshop).

Anyway so I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far..

Love,
