Eyebrows. I'm obsessed with them! There's nothing I love more than a good strong eyebrow to finish off a look. They've made a come back and they are bigger and better than ever. So I thought I would do some research and see what products there are on the market to help achieve this look.
These are just a few of the products out there just now, I'd love to know what products you are all using.
So just to wrap up this rather short blog I'd like to share my eyebrow icon with you all... Cara Delevingne. If only I could have brows like her and be able to look good in them!
The season is upon us! And don't we know. Christmas music, Christmas adverts, Christmas jumpers... and its only the middle of November. So to start off this rather Christmassy blog I've decided my favourite advert is the Sainsbury's one...
And I am definitely the kid at 1.32
Anyway, moving on....
I love a bit of glitter, so you can imagine I'm in my element at Christmas... everything is covered in it!
Going back to my trusty favourites Topshop. I couldn't decide if I liked these or not... I mean it is an awful lot of glitter, but in the end I decided I did really like them!
They would look fab with a pair of black heels and a plain black top... very glamorous for a night out.
Now on a not so glamorous note, but oh so comfy and festive... Christmas Jumpers! Staying on Topshop... I am ever so slightly in love with this jumper. Which was also featured in my fellow bloggers latest blog... check out what Katie has to say here.
Its just so soft! And who doesn't love a jumper with gingerbread men on it? Next is some festive looking cosmetics.... I came across this eye-shadow the other day and just thought it looked fab for an everyday look, but would also work great for a night out.
Lovely and shimmery for the festive season! The perfect way to finish off any look and especially at Christmas, is with some sparkly nail polish. This one is perfect to match any outfit...
Its definitely the new black and hot off the catwalk, orange is the hottest new colour in town. New York Fashion Week saw DKNY send orange lips down the runaway. Not only are all the high end designers loving orange, high street stores have been jumping on the bandwagon too. I'm proud to say I've been supporting the orange trend for a good few months now... so here's a sneak peak at my collection so far. One day I was strolling through River Island as you do, when this bag caught my eye. It was all I could think about for days... so with my birthday money, I made it mine!
Unfortunately its out of stock now, but there are plenty more orange bags in the store to choose from.
Anyone who knows me will know I love some bright lipstick, so I was very excited when I found this in Superdrug.
Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick Coral in Gold 210
Last on my list for today is this nail varnish. This is fab to add a splash of colour to any outfit.
My shoes are my pride and joy! I love them... and its fair to say I have quite a collection (which is ever growing might I add). Any time we have friends round to the flat the boys are always amazed by how much shoes I have, but in a girls eyes... its still not enough! I always say you can never have enough shoes...or bags...or jackets... you see where I am going with this? In my opinion, one of the comfiest pairs of shoes to own are Toms. At the moment I have four pairs... though I always have my eye on another colour I could add to my selection. The classic style comes in all different colours and patterns to choose from. Not only do Toms make really comfy shoes to wear, its all for a good cause too. A guy named Blake Mycoskie had been travelling in Argentina and found that the children there didn't have any shoes. After seeing this he decided to help them by building a company. Toms. Each time a customer buys a pair of the shoes, another pair is then donated to the children. This is where the company's slogan comes from, 'One for One'. Simple yet effective. Since launching the company, Toms have helped so many people and achieved so much... and long may it continue! Here are a couple of pairs I've got my eye on...
Moving on to a much different style of shoe....
If there's one thing you can't go wrong with on a night out, its a pair of killer heels! Granted your feet may hurt a little after you've been up on the dance floor busting your moves all night. (did I really just say that?) However perseverance is the key! Your feet do get used to them, it just takes time... and a lot of plasters! With Christmas just round the corner, many a night out will you need a new pair of heels to finish off your look. So here are just a few I know will look fab with that dress you've got your eye on!
Autumn and chunky knits...they go together like fish and chips, Easter and chocolate,Christmas and turkey. I love this time of year when its starting to get colder, but its not too cold either. Its just right for getting your jumpers and scarves out of the back of your wardrobe. Or checking out what new colours and styles are popular this year on the high street.
I'm proud to say I have only made two purchases to add to my chunky knit collection this year. (So far) First off is thissnood from Topshop. I was instantly drawn to the colour of this.... i'm quite a fan of anything khaki or olive, so this was right up my street. Very grunge. I like to think I can pull off the grunge look, even though secretly I know deep down that I can't... but shall continue to try anyway! Plus it looks great with a biker jacket.
My next purchase was a jumper from Primark. I first saw it when Zoella wore it in one of her videos (p.s. if you haven't already, check them out... they are fab). So not knowing where it was from I thought I was just going to have to admire it from afar...until I went into Primark. There it was just hanging on the wall, calling my name. It was fate, it had to be.... I couldn't just stumble upon the jumper and then not do anything about it. So it did what I have to do and bought it. It is now living very happily in my wardrobe.
This jumper is perfect for layering up, its not too thick so is still comfy to wear under a big coat. The black and white means it can be worn with any other colours. Perfect to mix and match with other chunky knits.
