Les vêtements et le visage de la journée

Hey Everyone!

Its been months since I did an OOTD! This was Saturday's outfit- really casual but with quite bold eye makeup.  This is a really everyday, fling it on outfit. Its comfortable, easy but I think the colours (especially of the top) make it really cute.

Top- H&M

Jeans- H&M

Necklace- H Samuel

Eyes- MUA Trio in Innocence, No7 Amazing Eyes Liquid Liner, Benefit They're Real

Lips- Revlon Lip Butter in 050 Berry Smoothie

A/W 12 Trend | Statement Fur

Hey Everyone!

I mostly do beauty related posts but I really interested in fashion too and I thought I would do a few posts on what sort of thing I'm really liking this season. There are two parts to these posts- I'll post some examples of the trend on the catwalk then how I would wear it. 

When the first crispness of winter arrives, I am in no way hesitant to reach for that extra layer (or five). What makes more sense that to cosy into a protective fur jacket (faux, of course) and this season is all about making statements with that fur. 

Not being one for shawls myself, I would wear an oversized fur coat (à la Carrie Bradshaw) and cute accessories.

From experience, I have found fur jackets like this to cost an arm and a leg, so I would recommend having a nosey around vintage stores- you never know there may be some luckies!

Will you be sporting faux fur this season?

A/W 12 Trend | Black Leather

Hey Everyone!

I have a new post series; Autumn/ Winter 2012 trend. I mostly do beauty related posts but I really interested in fashion too and I thought I would do a few posts on what sort of thing I'm really liking this season. There are two parts to these posts- I'll post some examples of the trend on the catwalk then how I would wear it. 

Leather is a material that, in my opinion, will come into style multiple times in the future which makes it a sensible and justifiable investment now. Its the definition of edgy and is constantly being reinvented on the runway.

As always with catwalks, they exemplify the extreme of trends. I personally prefer to wear them more subtly with one statement piece. I love the Topshop leather jackets- particularly the studded one below.

If, like me, you find yourself on a budget and cannot pay £65 for a leather jacket, incorporate leather into your autumn/ winter wardrobe through bits and bobs you can find in the sale like this sheer black blouse from New Look.

Do you like the black leather trend? How will you be wearing it this season?

OOTD | Casual Dress & Denim

Hey Everyone!

How are you? Today I have had a lovely day of absolutely nothing, which is quite unusual for me as I seem to always be on the go lately. I'm pretty much trying to savour the last few days of summer before school starts again on Friday (sob).

Dress: Primark

Jacket: H&M 

Tights: Primark

Necklace: Gift

I mentioned in one of my videos a while back that I planned to start wearing dresses as more of an everyday thing rather than reserving them for special occasions and taa daa- I've stuck to it! In attempt to accommodate this unpredictable weather we've been having, I paired this light navy dress with black tights. I added my denim jacket to make the look a little more casual and the statement necklace for a focal point. I kept my hair simple with a ballerina bun (tutorial here). 

I usually play it quite safe with fashion and tend to stick to the same kind of thing but lately I've been interested in branching out a bit so if you know of any good fashion/ style bloggers or YouTubers be sure to let me know!
