Hi everybody,

How's the start of Autumn been for you guys? I've been feeling pretty cold but I've been really excited to wear my A/W gear. I've been at home a lot as my college timetable has been a bit of a shambles and I've had a day off here and there. A life update should be up sometime next week so I'll fill you lovelies in on what's been happening!

Onto the post, I was browsing on a website that I'd come across when I first started blogging, Choies. I've had their banner in my sidebar for a while but seemed to forget about it, when I was doing a sidebar clear out, I rediscovered it and rushed onto the site to have a look.

There was so many things that I wanted, I was adding this and that, jewellery and shoes to my wishlist due to the fact that I'm kind of on a shopping ban haha
So I decided, to make me feel better, why not make outfits and share them with the world, make outfits with clothes I can't have anytime soon. Don't know how this was supposed to make me feel better!

I did 3 outfits based on 3 different occasions/scenes. The first is a casual, everyday look, the second is more girly but still very casual, can be worn on a night out for dinner and the last is definitely more formal and looks more like work wear, it's a very powerful outfit I think haha

I'd wear every single outfit but obviously switch up the footwear for a pair of beautiful trainers, my favourite is probably the second one, girly but with a pair of trainers, it would definitely be more me.
What's your favourite outfit? I'd love to know!

Also, if you sign up to Choies, you get free points equivalent to $15 to spend online!

Hope this post helped with putting together Autumn outfits, hope you're all well and thanks for reading!

Hello fashion lovers,

London Fashion Week is done and dusted and Milan has taken over. I'm pretty sure that everyone that took part is having a good ol' rest!

This season has definitely been one of my favourite seasons, even with NYFW, I struggled to pick out my favourites.

The prints and the materials and the styling was just amazing, after nearly every show I watched, I was like, 'this is my favourite collection' and then the next one, 'actually this is my favourite', even to the point that my mum got annoyed and said 'stop showing me, you've shown me too many favourites' haha!

After saying they were all my favourites and then having to pick a top 10 was so hard but out of the 10, my top, top, top fave was David Koma's collection. Look at that leather!!!! John Rocha was a close first! Which was your favourite?

I could definitely see a pattern in the way dresses were made this season likewise with NYFW being full of cutouts and crop tops.

The high neck-ed dresses seem to take over the style of dress, pastel colours, lace and floral prints were all present on the runway too.

I'm sure everyone's going to be looking supa dupa fly when Spring comes cause there's going to be some great clothes to rock!

Hope you enjoyed reading my little LFW summary, stay tuned for MFW, I'm sure there's going to be great collections!

Thanks for reading lovelies!

This or That Tag

Birthday OOTD

Happy Wednesday everyone,

A couple days ago, Bethany from Perpetual Style tagged me to do the This or Tag, I hardly ever do tags but I thought why not, do something different.

So here it is!

Make Up

Blusher or Bronzer:

Definitely blusher, I never use bronzer, no reason for it, I just don't.

Lipgloss or Lipstick:

This is a hard one because I wear both just as equally as each other.
Ahh I'd have to say lipstick.

Liner or Mascara:

This is an easy one. Mascara.

Foundation or Concealer:

Umm foundation, covers the whole face

Neutral Eyeshadow or Colour Eyeshadow:

Neutral. I'm trying to experiment more with colour

Pressed or Loose Eyeshadow:

Never bought loose eyeshadow so definitely pressed.

Nails

OPI or China Glaze:

umm this is an awkward one, I haven't used either of them.
So going by the name, China Glaze haha

Long or Short Nails:

Long

Acrylic or Natural:

I love acrylic nails but the aftermath is hell so natural.

Bright or Dark:

Depends on the season, but most of the time, dark.

Flower or No Flower?
Flower? Who made this tag? Haha no flower, I guess

Body

Perfume or Body Spray:

Body spray

Lotion or Body Butter:

I'd say neither because I use Vaseline for my body but because I use Johnson's baby lotion sometimes.
Lotion.

Body Wash or Soap:

Body wash

Lush or Other Bath Companies:

Haven't used any Lush products so other.

Fashion

Jeans or Sweat Pants:

Jeans, I wear jeans 80% of the time.

Long Sleeves or Short Sleeves:

Long Sleeves

Dresses or Skirts:

Dresses, just easier to wear, all you've got to do is throw on shoes and a jacket.

Stripes or Plaid

Stripes

Flip Flops or Sandals:

Sandals. what is pretty about a flip flop?

Scarves or Hats:

I loved scarves last A/W but this year beanies are going to be my favourite.
Can't choose!

Studs or Dangly Earrings:

Studs. Dangly ones don't suit me at all

Necklace's or Bracelets

This one's hard, why you make me choose?
I'd have to say necklaces because they can change an outfit more than a bracelet

Heels or Flats:

I love the look of heels but if trainers (I love my trainers!) are classed as flats then flats it is.

Jackets or Hoodies:

This one's easy. Jackets (after trainers!) are my favourite things to buy.

Hair

Curly or Straight:

Curly, just looks more fun.

Bun or Ponytail:

My hair's always in a bun, it's easier to do. Occasionally, I have it in a ponytail.

Bobby Pins or Bufferfly Clips:

Bobby Pins

Hair Spray or Gel:

Gel, I use it every single day, okay I'm exaggerating, most days, if I didn't, my hair would be all over the place.

Long or Short:

Short. Looks better on me, as my sister says every time I want to have my hair long.
Even to the point that my natural hair is longer than the weaves I do

Light or Dark:

Dark, I wanted to go light this Summer but after I accidently died it a dark red, I was happy it was lighter.
Maybe next year.

Side Sweep or Full Bangs (Fringe):

Side sweep, full fringes are too square haha

Up or Down:
Up, up and away.

Random

Rain or Shine:

Depends on what I'm doing, if I'm at home, rain all day.
If I've got to go out, I want sun shine please!

Summer or Winter:

Summer

Autumn or Spring:

Autumn

Chocolate or Vanilla:

What about Strawberry? I'm going to be a rebel and say Strawberry, it's the best!

Victoria Secrets Fabulous Perfume

Hi everybody!

I just wanted to do a quick post about a perfume that was gifted to me by one of my dad's close friend (I know you didn't ask for my life story aha). It's the Victoria Secrets Fabulous, I've only started using it after ignoring it for a while because I'd been trying to finish the Britney Spears Fantasy perfume first.

I really like this scent, very sweet smelling. It smells like fruits mixed with flowers. I'm not good at describing scents, people around me have always said I have a bad nose. If you have this perfume let me know what you think it smells like?

I don't wear this perfume on a daily basis because I usually use the Victoria Secrets body mists. I do bring it out of its box occasionally and spritz it here, there and everywhere.

I love the bottle, very cute and girly, the vertical lines on the bottle are very sleek and makes it look grown up even though it's very pink.

Overall, I really like the perfume, not sure if it's my favourite scent but I do like it!

Let me know if you've tried it!

Thanks for reading,

LA Colors Metallic Eye Shadow - Devious - Review

Hey everyone,

This is going to be a review on an eye shadow palette I purchased from Beauty Base in Westfield.

It has 5 shades and goes from light to dark.
This palette is great for creating a blue/purple smoky eye, it's super pigmented so you have to be careful not to pack too much onto your brush or you'll have too much product on your lid.

It performs best when it is applied with a primer, the colour is much bolder when a primer is used.

I don't see the difference between the two blue shades and I think it's a waste of a shade, a darker purple could've been added instead of another blue. What do you guys think?

The great thing about this palette is that it was only a £1, which is crazy for the quality it provides.
I'm definitely going to be purchase more shades. £5 for 25 shades sounds so good and definitely not bank breaking.

I love LA Colors and their price range is unbelievable.
I'd really recommend them.

Have you tried anything from LA Colors?
Let me know!

Thanks for reading!

NYFW - Spring/Summer 2014 - My Top 10

BCBG by Max Azria

Louise Goldin

Tanya Taylor

Mara Hoffman

Jill Stuart



Zac Posen



Vivienne Tam



Caroline Herrera



Diane von Furstenburg



Oscar De La Renta



Hey everyone,

As many of you fashion lovers may know, London Fashion Week started today. I was excited when New York Fashion Week started but even more excited when London was starting.
I love London fashion so Fashion Week is proper fascinating.

Back to New York, I was super impressed by the collections this season, from cutouts to floral and from all white to all black, spring trends are going to be amazing.

I loved the crop tops and the structured jackets, the skater skirts and the prints.
It feels good to know what type of trends may be gracing our high streets shops with its presence.

Every season, I say 'Oscar de la Renta was definitely my favourite' but this season it was so hard to choose a favourite. If I really, really had to, I'd say Mara Hoffman and BCBG by Max Azria were my favourite collections this season! What were you favourite collections?

 I'm super excited for Spring and the trends that are going to be around, Autumn is just starting so there is a long time until I start thinking about what to wear in Spring, but I can't wait!

Are you excited for spring, I know I am,
thanks for reading!
