Just another quick outfit, reminded me of the 90's - crop tops, baggy coveralls, body con skirs, docs, the 'i can't be arsed' look... Thought I'd do my take on it but more polished version. Actually very comfy and very easy to mix and match prints and colours (seeing as I left my palette quite neutral)

Crop Top: Quiz
Bodycon Skirt: Pilot (had it for years)
Oversized Cardi: Holmes and Co (thrifted)

Just a quick get ready with me for all those casual summer days where you need to run some errands. I tried to follow the summer trend of looking fresh face and glowy with a pop of colour. I especially love the foundation I used - YSL Touche Eclat - it's so light and doesn't clog your pores. To watch how I achieved this look, click the link above.

Today though, I wanted to bring to you a makeup idea that I thought would be very fun to do for spring time. Very nautical with blues, whites and reds, but doesn't look over the top. If you'd like to see a tutorial of this, then let me know.

Another Style Sunday for y'all! I fancied wearing my red jeans today which I hardly touch as red on me is just too scary. However, wouldn't be right to have it collecting dust in my wardrobe now, would it? So I decided to work round a monochromatic palette in order to keep the focus on the jeans. I love the dip low shirt as the pattern adds character to the look but doesn't subtract from the simplicity of the pieces. It was slightly cold in the morning for church, so threw on a leather jacket which NEVER looks bad on ANYONE! As per, kept accessories to a minium.
This is the beginning of a new series mainly on my blog (may have previews on my youtube at a later date) of my Sunday outfits.
Floral Forms
I wanted to build my outfit around these pair of floral ankle jeans that I've had for so long but hardly wear due to how bold they are. So to keep things within the 'pastel' theme, I opted for a light blue shirt, nude peep toe pumps and minimal accessories. The outfit was surprisingly comfy and easy going even though the shirt looked rather 'prim and proper'.
Yes, it has definately been a very long while since anything happened with me regarding being on the net (YouTube, Tumblr ... BLOGGING). And there are very good reasons for this major absence, one being my gorgeous (EXPENSIVE) macbook pro was stolen :( and also the fact that university is just taking over my life!
However, it's weird to say that I am missing all this virtual lifestyle so much that I just have to start it up again. This time though, I'll do things a little differently. I'm not going to set myself massive tasks of what I'm going to do and etc, but just post and write and blog and vlog as and when I get the chance. Basically reflecting how unpredictable my life is already.
Love being back, and watch this space for more interesting stuff!
Hey everyone, so excited to be holding my first giveaway for all my lovely supporting subscribers on Youtube. It will be featuring this fabulous brand I discovered at Superdrug, called Fashionista. I've only seen their nail polishes promoted by the Saturdays in other branches but in the Oxford branch they had the full hog of their collection; from eyeshadows to blushes to lippies. I thought I'd give the eyeshadows a try as they were on a fantastic deal - fill up a palette and get a free mascara (prices will be below). I bought the six palette as you can see below. I opted for a neutral palette with some fun baked eyeshadows for evening times. I've swatched the colours for you on my skin tone but remember, they will show up differently on different skin tones.
1. Double Take (Baked Eyeshadow) Golden Dragon Shade 2
Green sparkly with golden flecks
2. Double Take (Baked Eyeshadow) Radiant Shade 7
Brown sparkly with golden flecks
3. Double Take (Baked Eyeshadow) Bella Shade 5
White sparkly with golden flecks
4. Chocolate Dream Shade 23
Dark Brown Metallic
5. Nude Shade 20
Matte nude beige
6. Black Out Shade 5
Matte Black
Well What Do I Think?
Well I personally think they are amazing, the colour payoff is amazing, and so are the other colours. They have such a vast range of colours and shades and finishes so you can never have enough fun with them. They blend so easily as well so creating the perfect smokey eye is so easy to do. I've already worn these colours with different outfits, ranging from casual to formal. They also stay on very well with the help of my elf eyeshadow primer.
Below is the free mascara I chose (there were 3 to choose from). I chose this one as I'm very picky with the mascaras I use. This is due to the fact I have very small eyelashes that curl upwards instantly so I look for something with a comb and a formula that will lengthen and separate them. I've used this mascara within the past week and I just can't get enough of it. The brush has longer bristles on one side and shorter ones on the opposite side. This is to help you get those pesky little hairs that you usually miss, achieving a much fuller look.
THE GIVEAWAY
As I have enjoyed this product so much, I thought it'd be a great idea to get one for my subbies too. I picked a four palette with four colours I have in my palette. They are the neutral ones with various finishes so you can create any look you'd like. In addition, I'm throwing in the mascara as well!!!
