Ego

I recently got sent an amazing pair of shoes from Ego so I thought I would share a simple way that I would style them.

They are a nude colour which means they would go with basically everything and are the perfect style to dress up any outfit.

In this outfit, I paired them with a pale peachy skirt from H&M and vest top from New Look as we had an unusually hot day here!

Spring MK Haul

Whenever I go to Milton Keynes shopping, I always seem to spend too much money. I went a couple of weeks ago and the same happened then so I thought I would share what I bought!

Starting with shoes, I bought these two pairs. The black ones are from New Look and are so comfy, I have been wearing them loads since I got them. They were only £19.99 too. I do love the white ones (which are from Bank) but I am saving them until the weather is better as I don't want to ruin them by wearing them in the rain! They were only around £12 as Bank was closing down so I couldn't resist buying them.

I went into Deichmann for the first time and found these trainers for £19.99 as I have been going to the gym a lot recently and wanted some new trainers to match the rest of my gym clothes. They are really comfortable and definitely worth the money.

I also picked up this little teal satchel from Deichmann for £12.99. I have been looking at the Topshop versions for a long time but they are a lot more expensive so when I saw this one I had to get it!

Mint green is one of my favourite colours and I love Aztec print too so how could I not buy this dress which has both! It is from H&M and was only £12.99. I love the cut out details around the waist and at the top, it makes it that little bit different and I can't wait to wear it in the summer with the satchel.

I have to get bubble tea whenever I see it so this time I got watermelon with mixed popping boba. It is so nice and I would definitely recommend it. We also got mango and passionfruit coolers from Costa because who doesn't love them!

I picked up a few things from The Body Shop. I got the tea tree face mask for £10 as I have heard such good things about it and so far it has not been disappointing. I also joined their reward card scheme so I got a free shower gel from that which smells amazing!

It is really hard for me to find concealers that are the right colour for me as I am so pale, but this one from The Body Shop is absolutely perfect. I usually prefer liquid ones but as this is such a perfect match I am more than happy to use it.  It was £8.50 and I got the shade '01'.

Hotel Chocolat do the nicest chocolate and I especially love their caramel buttons so I picked up a little pot of them for £1.95.

Finally, I obviously had to stop off at Lush so I bought the 'floating flower' and 'fluffy egg' bath bombs and the 'unicorn horn' bubble bar and I am excited to try them all!

I also bought some presents for various people's birthdays but obviously I won't be posting those! Hope you enjoyed reading :)

LBD

A classic LBD is a must for every girls wardrobe, but the wrap over skirt and clipper back of this one from Her Fashion Box makes it that bit different.

Paired with black heels and a statement necklace, it makes it the perfect outfit for a night out. The necklace I wore with it is also from Her Fashion Box and the heels are from Style Edit.

The Tartan Skirt

I have been eyeing up a few tartan skirts for quite a while but never found the right one. That is until I got this one from Modekungen. It is quite short so I would probably not wear it out without black tights but I still love it.

In this outfit, I paired the skirt with a plain black vest top, black cardigan and small black bag. I got the bag from Her Fashion Box a few months ago and it is perfect for taking out as it is just big enough for a phone, lipstick and some money.

I also wore my Shu Sole 6" cleated platforms to go out but if you aren't brave enough for those or don't want to be wearing them for a long period during the day, I also found black lace up boots which look nice too.

Miss Patina

I absolutely love two-pieces, especially when they are as nice and well made as this one from Miss Patina*!

I received the Tame Fox skirt and top in this gorgeous navy blue colour. (It isn't as bright as it shows in this photo). I love the fact that you can either wear the skirt and top together or separately in another outfit. This outfit would also look nice without tights but it was about 0 degrees when these photos were taken so I decided it would be best to keep them on so I didn't totally freeze!

The cute little fox embroidery on the skirt and collar adds such a cute touch!

I have worn this two piece multiple times since I got it and have received compliments on it every time. Depending what you pair it with it can also be both a summer and winter outfit which is perfect.

Her Fashion Box

Her Fashion Box is a monthly subscription box containing a couple of fashion items and some beauty bits. I received this month's box and I love what's in it so thought I would do an un-boxing type post.

All of the products come packaged beautifully in a sleek black magnetic close box with tissue paper.

The first thing I saw when I opened the box was this small black bag with a gold chain. It is the perfect size for a night out as it is only big enough for essentials so you don't have to carry a massive bag around with you. Black bags go with practically anything so in my eyes you can never have too many!

The next thing I saw was this silk patterned scarf. It has a gorgeous carriage pattern and although I will probably not wear it as a scarf, it would look amazing tied to the handles of a bag or as a hair accessory.

There were also a few beauty products, the first of which is this baked mineral eyeshadow trio in the shade 'Rama' which has a bright blue, coppery orange and plum colour in it. They are not colours I would usually choose but they are nice though!

I also got a black eyeliner pencil which is really pigmented and glides on easily.
Another thing in my box was the blending sponge which looks a lot like the Real Technique's beauty blender that I have seen a lot of people talking about. A lot of people love them and they do give great coverage but I personally prefer brushes!
Finally, the last thing in my box was these bright pink eyelash curlers. I always curl my lashes before going out so I'm not going to complain about a new set of curlers!

Her Fahion Box is Australian based so it does cost to ship to the UK but including P&P it only comes to around £30 so it isn't too much as a little treat for yourself every month. All of the products inside definitely total to more than that. I love that it includes bits of fashion and beauty as well so you don't have to decide between the two!

Statement Jeans

The weather here has been raining non stop which means I haven't had the chance to take many photos so it's just a little outfit post today!

I have worn these Topshop Joni jeans so much since I got them, they are so easy to dress up or down and so comfy. Today I wore them with a plain black vest top and waterfall cardigan.

 I also added a statement silver necklace and my new boots which I love. I'm quite tall so always used to hate wearing heels but I love ones like these now!

Sweater Weather

I am currently on my October break from school so obviously I had to spend some of my time off going shopping! I bought a few new clothes including a whole new outfit which I will show you now.

This jumper is one of the softest things I own.  It is really cosy and also it sparkles a bit when the light catches it which will make it perfect for wearing around Christmas! I added my long owl necklace because I basically love anything owl related.

These are Joni jeans from Topshop. I usually prefer to wear plain bottoms with a more statement top but I couldn't resist these! Topshop jeans are so comfy and soft and they are some of the only ones I have found that actually fit me properly so I now own three pairs.

Burgundy is definitely my favourite colour for Autumn/Winter time and when I saw these boots I just couldn't resist them. They have a slight wedged heel and are fleecy inside so they will be really warm as it gets colder.  They are also waterproof which will be really handy in British weather!

Another thing I couldn't resist is this bag. I am trying to stop using massive bags because it makes me over pack and can be really heavy so this bag is the perfect size.  It is quite small but not too small and I love the colour of it.

Out of the Blue

It is getting a lot colder here which means it is now sweater weather (aka my favourite time of year).

A new addition to my jumper collection is this black quilted one from We Run This. It is so soft and the zips add that little something extra. I added this silver rocks necklace too.

I paired it with some blue skinny jeans which I've had forever so I can't remember where they're from and this gorgeous black/blue bag from Lipsy which I have used so much since I got it.

The shoes I wore were my black platforms from ShuSole, definitely one of my favourite pairs of shoes that I own.  All of ShuSole's shoes are really good prices and such good quality, I own about four pairs from there now!

I love how the splashes of bright blue from the jeans and bag brighten this outfit up.  Just because it's Autumn now doesn't mean you have to banish bright colours :)

Fall Favourites (Tag)

As it is now October, I wanted to do an Autumn themed blog post so here are my answers to the 'Fall Favourite Things' tag!

- Fall Beauty Faves -

1. Face Product
Being really pale has its disadvantages, one of them being that it is almost impossible to find foundation that is the right shade so my favourite autumn face product is the same as it is all year round - Rimmel Match Perfection foundation in the shade 010 light porcelain.  It is quite light coverage but is the perfect shade and I love it :)

2. Cheek Product
Bourjois blushers are so pigmented and I really love this one in the shade '34 Rose d'Or / Golden Rose'.  It has the perfect amount of shimmer and is a gorgeous colour.

3. Eye Product
The Maybelline colour tattoo in the shade 'on and on bronze' is such a nice Autumnal shade and as you can see, I have been using it quite a lot!

4. Lip Product
I don't really wear dark lipsticks even in Autumn/Winter but I love the H&M lip pen in the shade 'honeysuckle'. It is a lovely berry colour without being too much.

5. Hair Product
My hair can get quite dry in the colder weather so I use a little bit of Moroccan Argan Oil on the ends and it keeps it soft and healthy :)

6. Fragrance/Candle
My all time favourite Fall scent has to be Yankee candle's Black Cherry.  It smells amazing and last year I burnt a full large jar plus several votives of it, I love it!

7. Nail Polish
Burgundy is one of my favourite Autumnal colours which is why this GOSH nail polish in the shade '008 Berry Me' has to be my favourite for this time of year.

- Fall Fashion Faves -

1. Trendy Clothing Item
Black skinny jeans are definitely my most worn clothing item as it gets colder.  I really love these ones from Vanilla Star, they are so comfy!

2. Comfy Clothing Item
Definitely cosy jumpers/cardigans, can never have too many.

3. Shoes
Boots are a obviously a must have in the colder weather, and this year I have been loving military-style boots.  These ones are from Shoe Zone.

4. Accessory
Rose gold is so gorgeous and the fact that this Klaus Kobec watch is that colour makes it even more stunning. It is my go-to watch and I will definitely continue to wear it this Autumn.

- Fun Favourites -

1. Halloween or Thanksgiving?
We don't actually celebrate Thanksgiving here so I will have to say Halloween!

2. Favourite Festive Food and/or Drink
I love toffee apples and bonfire lollies in Autumn, although I may have to give them a miss this year because I have braces now so they could be a bit tricky to eat :( My favourite drink would have to be the vanilla spice hot chocolate from Starbucks, it is delicious and so good on cold days!

3. What's the happiest part about fall for you?
I just love being able to get all cosy in massive jumpers with hot chocolate and obviously the fact that it means it is getting closer to Christmas!

4. Who do you tag?
I tag anyone who wants to do it :)
