50 SHADES OF GREY...

I don't know why I decided with a grey theme, as normally my outfit choice is a little brighter, I don't know if it was because of going to see the new Fifty Shades on Friday or if I'm just trying to match my outfit with the weather! 

 

(Jumper: Next)

(Top: New Look)

(Jeans: Topshop)

(Boots: Dr Marten's from Urban Fox)

(Fedora: New Look)

(Bag: Thailand)

(Necklace: Urban Outfitters, similar here)

(Rings: Glastonbury, Fabulous & Frome market) 

I love roll necks at the moment, but struggle with the tighter neck design as if I get too hot feel like I can't breath, this one however is perfect for a cold winters day. I have a confession to make in the fact that I stole it from my mums wardrobe-shhh!! However I did spot it in Next first she just beat me too it!! I think high necks are so easy to wear and I love the fact that they bring any outfit bang up to trend. 

To finish off this outfit I kept it casual with my Topshop Joni jeans, Dr Martens which I snapped up from a vintage shop in Bristol for only half the price!, my trusty black fedora and dreamy new bag I treated myself too in Thailand. I also added my Urban Outfitters necklace which I got in the sale for an absolute steal - although reminds me slightly of something Harry Styles would wear!! 

Now to Fifty Shades, I was a little dubious to watch it to start with as I hadn't heard good things, maybe this was a good thing, because I really enjoyed it. Yes of course some bits where slightly embarrassing/cringey to watch, even if I had only gone with a group of girls and not my mum, but any film where you get to see Jamie Dornan Topless must be good right!? 

Have any of you seen the Fifty Shades yet?

and What did you think?

P.S: sorry about the image size and quality, a slight mishap in my equipment - hopefully they will be better next time :(

TOP 5 LIPSTICKS

The picture's don't do these as much justice as it could do, but having lipstick as my favourite make up staple - I never leave the house without it I thought I would share my Top 5 shades at this moment in time.

They all look pretty similar but are a perfect way to brighten up your face, with the classic red pop with the Chanel Passion or the vampy purple of the Topshop. All others are lovely shades of nudes with an added tone of purple or pink perfect for a natural look.

PINK TO MAKE THE BOYS WINK...

While visiting London last week, we couldn't help but have a sneaky peak in Zara's sale on Kensington high street, and of course with 70% off it would have been rude not too buy anything!! I have wanted some printed t-shirts for a while, but could never find the right ones or if I did they would be the wrong size - sigh! Zara of course didn't disappoint  I got two lovely slogan tee's, one that I have pictured with a French address and "Rendezvous filius tard" - (I think...!) and another saying "My Style My Rules" which I think is perfect for fashion blogging, and for only £5.99 each- Bargain!! Next I picked up these beautiful pink trousers, I LOVE these, and think they add in a pop of colour to any miserable winters day, I also love the fact they are so versatile looking fab in heels or Converse! I decided for this post to style them up (because what girl doesn't like to dress up?!) and paired them with my favourite caged boots from ASO's, French Connection blazer and The White Pepper cat bag which I think is so adorable!

REVLON HAUL

I definitely am not any sort of make up geek, and have learnt a lot of what I know about applying make up from watching my friend Hannah (a professional make up artist) apply hers when we get ready to go out. However I popped into Boots and on the make up counters it was 3 for 2, so I decided to treat myself by raiding the Revlon counter. I don't normally buy from Revlon, however after purchasing the bronzer and lip crayon previously I was really impressed so headed straight back. Hopefully I don't sound too stupid trying to talk about a subject I know very little about!!

Mattebalm, Sultry

I already have the lacquer lip crayon in colour Vivacious and I loved it so much I thought I would grow my collection and get another! I decided on the matte collection because matte lip finishes are my absolute fave right now! I always like my lips feeling moisturised and I was surprised that even though they have the matte finish they still keep your lips from feeling so soft, unlike some of the other matte finishing lip products I own. (Wow, saying matte enough!!) The creamy texture makes it easy to apply and you get precise precision due to the shape of the tip and crayon like shape of the packaging. I went for a more browny pink this time as I usually go for plain/bright pink and fancied something a little bit different and I am glad I make this choice! I think it's perfect colour to match any outfit choice and I highly recommend this!

Colourstay lipliner

I love Kylie Jenner and I love her full lipped look, so thought I would try recreate it! Pink is usually my go to lip colour so invested in a pink lipliner....I love the colour of this and matches my YSL lipstick perfectly which is my usual day to day colour. I found this really easy to apply as it has a smooth finish, and I really liked the packaging as you don't need a sharper to use it. I really like the idea of using lip liner however I don't think it is really suits me - or I just need a little bit more practice!

Creme Blush

Normally I am a one blush only kind of girl, but as it is 3 for 2 I thought it would be rude not too build my make up collection and cheat on my Chanel powder blush and try something new! I'm glad I did! This creme blush is such a beautiful colour and is so easy to apply and blend using your fingers or a brush. I also like the fact that it isn't too heavy. I recommend this if you want a blush that you can apply quickly and is perfect for anyone doing make up on the go.

Bronze Glow

I didn't buy this in this haul, but I love it so only thought it right to blog about it! I use this bronzer highlighting palette every time I apply make up - so pretty much everyday, and great for if I want to dress my face up or down. The white section of the palette is also great to use just on its own to add highlight on my cheekbones and is easy to blend in using my fingers. I usually apply using every colour and a small brush to add a little bit of shape to my face and a nice all over natural glow.

Build your own eyeshadow

I felt a little bit bored with only using browns and nudes eyeshadows so I thought I would go a bit crazy and add in dark purple and colbolt- wild I know! I also go a new sand colour as it was 3 for 2 and couldn't quite leave my comfort zone! I was a little bit disappointed in the pigmentation of these eyeshadows and didn't come out as bright as I thought they may do. The sand colour is a lovely powdery base colour for your eyelids and is great to apply under eyeliner to act as a block from the liquid foundation, and the darker colours do look lovely blended round liquid eyeliner to create a more smokey look, For £2.99 each they are darn cheap so can't really resist and for the price they are you can't really go wrong.
