Autumn Favourites

If I'm totally honest I'm not Summer's biggest fan. Call me crazy but I would much rather have cool days where you can layer up, compared to hot sticky days where all you can wear is shorts and a t-shirt. That's why I soon as September rolls around, I'm all about Autumn whether it be fashion, beauty or just cozying up. In today's post I though I would share with you my autumn favourites.

Darker Makeup

In Summer you can't really stand to wear a whole lot of makeup on your face, which can be a good thing. But when the weather starts getting cooler you can really start experimenting with your makeup again. Whether you wear darker lips, which I have recently discovered, experiment with different eye looks or just put on your trusty eyeliner. Either way the darker bolder makeup has to be a top favourite for me.

Darker Nails

Going along with the darker trend, I also love to wear deeper nail colours during autumn that fit the seasons colours, which tends to be navy's and burgundy's. Recently I have been noticing there are alot of khaki colours out there which I am still yet to try out.

Autumnal Fashion

Now, my all time favourite of Autumn is the fashion. From the colours to the styles, I love them all. I have to admit I am one to wear black and white all year round, but during autumn I can whip out the mustard's, khaki's and burgundy's at last. In the Summer months I feel quite restricted on what I can wear fashion wise and usually stick with the same stuff, but as it gets cooler I find myself being a lot more experimental and getting out those trust worthy Combat Boots and Doc Martens.

Spring Favourites

Hello everyone and this post is all about my spring favourites. I love Spring mainly because of all the pastels and floral prints coming back on trend. Although it's still quite cold here in Britain, I still like to embrace the pastels and of course it means Summers getting closer!

I'll firstly start off with nail polishes. In the Spring I tend to go for for pastels and nudes. If i'm honest I have way too many to count because they are my favourite colours to wear on my nails. So here I am showing you my top three. I love the look of nudes on your nails as I think they look really minimalist, like your wearing nothing almost, the colour I have hear is Barry Gelly Nail Paint in 'Lychee'. The next colour I love to wear on my nails is simply white. It gives a clean finish to your nails and goes with just about anything, it is also bang on trend this Spring. Finally the last colour I have to show you just screams Spring to me and it's another Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in 'Rose Hip' it's a gorgeous pastel pink shade which has to be one of my all time favourite colours. If you didn't already notice I really like Barry M, a lot!

Moving onto lip products I tend to not wear an awful lot, as I prefer a fresh faced look when Spring comes around. But when I do I steer towards peaches and nude pinks, as they give a natural look. The first colour I have here is the Revlon Lip butter in 'Juicy Papaya' it is a sheer peachy orange shade that adds a nice amount of gloss to your lips without being to bright, so it's perfect if your not too keen on very a bright orange on your lips. My go to nude pink shade is Mac's 'Creme Cup' it's a 'your lips but better' shade and just adds a little something to any makeup look.

As for scents, I am a sweet scent kind of girl over musky or floral. My pick has to be the Hollister sprays in general as they last for ages and smell amazing. If I had to choose one it would be the scent 'Cresent Bay' as it's still sweet but not too overpowering. 

In the Spring I love have really highlighted inner corners. It really makes you look more awake and your eyes appear more rounded. For that I use the Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in 'Milk' it's a matte white shade and because it's in pencil form it is super easy to apply in the inner corner. The formula of these is also super creamy and is really easy to blend out for a subtle look.

My current favourite piece of jewellery is this stunning clear crystal necklace* from the lovely Ida Jewellery. It goes perfectly with any outfit I wear and completes it. It is amazing quality and it's not been from around my neck.

I'm turning into a 90's kid recently, I have collected a lot of Scrunchies over time and I love each one of them! I love the way they look in a simple pony tail or a half up half down look. They just spice up a boring hairstyle. I have a collection here from Junk Love*, Stitch By Lou* and New Look. 

Time for my fashion favourite: dresses. I have recently been loving dresses, I haven't got one in particular I have just been loving all of my dresses right now! Although I have been loving this tunic dress from Topshop especially. I love how they are so easy to style, you can just throw on a pair of shoes with them and your good to go!

I hope you enjoyed finding out what my spring favourites are and leave a comment below telling me yours! I would love to hear from you. Thank you for reading.

2013 Favourites

Hello everyone, another year has pasted and its scary how quick its gone! But today I'm going to be showing you my favourites of 2013. 2013 has been the year where I discovered so many new products that I now love and have repurchased numerous times.

The first products I want to talk about are beauty products. I have discovered so many new brands and products this year, but one of my must-haves has definitely been my rocket volume express mascara. It gives your lashes a great amount of volume and also lengthens them really well and does not clump up. I also layer it up with my Benefit They're Real mascara which is another favourite. This mascara really thickens up your lashes and although the bristles are quite spiky, it's a great mascara and paired with the Rocket they go hand in hand together. For eyes I have been wearing cream eye shadows on my lids, the three I own are two of the Maybelline colour tattoos in on and on bronze and barely branded, also the smash box cream shadow in riches. All of which are highly pigmented and creamy and all glide on the lids, that give a nice base for eye shadow or to wear on its own.  The nyx jumbo eye pencils are cream shadows in a stick form, the shades I have are milk and black bean and I wear them almost everyday and they are super easy to apply. My last beauty favourite of 2013 are eos lip balms, I picked them up whilst in the States, they are really moisturizing and packaging is so cute, I have four flavours; blueberry acai, summer fruits, strawberry sorbet and mint.

Next want to share with you my fashion favourites. I love to experiment with different styles and this winter I have been loving the tartan trend, I own a red tartan scarf I picked up at Primark for £4 and I have been wearing it whenever I have the chance. My next favourite are my white converse, I've had them a few years now and still wear them non stop, they are so easy to style and go with everything. Skater skirts have been a big trend this year and I have picked up three over the year and love them all, the colours I have are black, maroon and a floral one. I also love every winter oversized jumpers and sweaters, I have way too many for my own good from numerous places, but my favourite has to be my Harvard sweater I picked up from Lily Vintage, which features in my OOTD #1 if you would like to check that out.

 Now onto the random favourites! My all time favourite book is The Fault in our Stars by John Green, it is honestly the best book I've ever read. It is such a sad yet happy book, and I know many people love it too. My final favourite is my iPhone 5, which I got for my birthday this year. I'm on it non-stop, it's an addiction! I'm always on YouTube or Instagram on it, which is kind of a problem and I guess they could be favourites too!. So that is all my favourites of 2013, 2013 was an amazing for me; I started my Instagram and blog and met some amazing people through it. I hope your 2013 was as good and wish you all to have an amazing 2014!!
