It isn't Autumn without getting out the darker makeup. When my favourite season rolls around my red lipsticks, plum eye shadows and liquid liner all make a return in my everyday makeup.

Plum shades are a great colour to wear on your lids if you have blue eyes because It makes them pop. My favourite to use are the two purple shades from my Mac palette, I take the shimmery shade all over my lid and add depth with the darker matte plum in my crease. As for the rest of makeup I tend to keep it pretty simple with a semi nude lip, here I'm wearing the Revlon lip butter in 'Pink Truffle' dabbed into my lips to give a more natural look. But when I am feeling a little more daring I will go all out with a bold red lip, my favourite being the Rimmel Kate Moss In '107' which is the perfect cherry red shade.

Topshop Wishlist

1. Leigh Black Ripped Jeans
2. Bib Detail Blouse
3. Brody Faux Fur Collar Boots
4. Super-soft Brushed Scarf
5. Short Sleeve Cotton Shirt
6. Cable Faux Fur Pom Pom Beanie
7. Slouchy Holdall Bag

This Topshop wishlist contains many simple yet staple pieces for the upcoming winter months. The plain white blouse for example is a wardrobe basic that everyone should own and yet surprisingly I don't? It would go perfectly under jumpers or even layered up on it's own with a chunky knit cardigan and a tartan scarf. My favourite thing about this time of year is the fashion and colours combined and the ability to layer up your favourite pieces to create one complete outfit. I sit scrolling through online shops at the latest fashion items out there as my basket totals way out of control, but it doesn't hurt to have little wishlists for yourself.

The Lace Midi

Skirt // Hollister

Shirt // Brandy Melville (no longer available)

Watch /// Fjord Timepieces*

Shoes // Steve Madden

This outfit is definitely out of my comfort zone and I owuld never usually go for something like this, as I'm scared I'll stand out. But when I first picked out this skirt I fell in love and immediately wanted to style it. So of course I picked it up and came up with this outfit, that I think is great not only for the transitioning weather but also perfect for autumn as you can layer it up as you please even though it may look like just a Summer piece.

Autumn's Coming

Jeans // Topshop
Shoes // Shoe Zone*

Today from me you get a very simple, throw it on and leave outfit. As you may or may not have noticed the leaves are beginning to fall and I am well and truly in the fall mood. The slip on sneakers I'm wearing have been everywhere recently, they are a great way to add something to a very simple outfit with the mixing textures. This outfit with the dark shades is perfect for the season and is so simple you cannot go wrong.

Why To Love Autumn

I may be stepping a little early with this post, but I'm too excited for this coming season to contain myself. You guessed it, I like Autumn...a lot

People tend not to show Autumn a lot of love because their usually suffering with post holiday blue's and long for the warm weather to return. But I'm the opposite, as soon as I go back to school I get into Autumn mode, start buying sweaters and wearing the good old boots. The reasons I love Autumn go on and on, but a definite bonus is that it is my birthday in October, so yes I am an Autumn baby which is probably why I like it so much. A close second though is the fashion! I adore the trends that come along with Autumn from the oversized jumpers and blazer coats, to the knee high socks and boots, anything that is comfortable you get away with. All of it I love. One thing that comes along with the fashion is the autumnal colours, the burgundy's, green's, mustard yellow's, black's and grey's all my favourites. I love how interior decor changes throughout all the seasons and when it comes to Autumn all the shades are toned down, the blankets are brought out, the fairy lights are on and everything just feels a lot more homely and cozy. Speaking of homely who here doesn't love cozying up with a blanket and a hot cup of hot chocolate at the end of the day, you can't do that in Summer now can you? (well you could if you really wanted to) I love the misty weather in Autumn, it's not too hot yet still not cold, it's perfect for evening walks out.

The whole atmosphere that comes along with Autumn get me in the seasonal spirit and prepares me for the next holiday that I wait for all year, Christmas. The coziness, the fashion, the weather and the seasonal colours are all reasons to love this time of year.

An Extensive Haul

I'm not going to lie, I think I have a shopping problem, but let's face it there is nothing a bit of retail therapy can't fix, am I right? As you can see although from the pictures I didn't buy awfully colourful items apart from the bright pop of yellow. By the time Autumn and Winter come around I find myself living in simple, grey, black, navy and white pieces all throughout the season. I thought it was about time I refresh my Autumn and Winter wardrobe with a new number of basics and trending pieces. Baring in mind this is a lot but is collected, just feel sorry for my bank balance.
