Outfit of the day 29/11/12

Hey everyone, it's the light switch on where I live tonight so I thought I'd show you what I'm wearing. My make up and hair isn't done yet but i'll probably be wearing a natural look for both of them. I wear a lot of outfits like this in these freezing tempuratures!

Sorry for the poor quality of pictures, I had awful lighting and no one to take the picture. Also, as you can see I'm not
wearing shoes but the shoes I paired with this outfit are my gold and velvet studded flats from Topshop.

Jeans-Topshop

Review: Sleep in Rollers

Hey everyone,

I'm going to be reviewing the 'Sleep in Rollers'. I've used these quite a few times now and I LOVE them.

At first, they were quite hard to get used to when sleeping but once I got in a comfy position, I slept amazingly all night long and when I woke up they were still in place just as tight as they were when I went to sleep. As I've used them more often, they're a lot easier to get used to and I've figured out lots of different ways to style my hair with them.

They're great for when you have to get up early but you still want your hair to look fab! It means you can get a bit of extra sleep and just wake up with gorgeous hair. They're really comfy aswell,so much comfier than velcrow/heated rollers which sometimes give me headaches. I think I might even use these  when I'm not asleep and I'm just having rollers in all day for curly hair in the night because they give such a nice effect on your hair.

I really reccomend these rollers, you can buy them here at such an affordable price for what they are- http://www.ukhairdressers.com/store/details.asp?ID=SleepinRollers

The adorable bag they are packaged in!

Weekly Wants

I have no money at the moment and the money I do have is being saved for Christmas presents. So, I have no choice but to do a 'Weekly Wants' post as I want so much that I can't have I need to put it somewhere!

This first item is just my Winter Want really, I've wanted a fur coat for ages and leapord print is a recent obsession of mine so when I saw this in Miss Selfridge I was actually dying. I'd literally only just bought my winter coat though so could not afford this at £89. But I'm either saving up or getting it with Christmas money!

The next item is a lot on the cheaper side and I am really considering getting it. I went to the Harvey Nichols 'Look Good Feel Better' event in Manchester last Wednesday (click here to read my post on it) and I saw someone wearing this gorgeous dress and was immediately in love with it and I've finally tracked it down! It's only £22 from River Island.

Also, at  Harvey Nichols I saw this stunning DKNY purse. I've wanted a new purse for a while now as mine is falling apart and this is just stunning. 

Harvey Nichols 'Look Good Feel Better'

Tonight, I went to Harvey Nichols in Manchester for the Harvey Nichols 'Look Good Feel Better' charity night. It was such a lovely night! There was some amazing fashion editors there and I had a one to one session with Alessandra Steinherr who is the beauty editor for Glamour. She was amazing! She gave me so many tips and told me all about her job and how she got there; It was so interesting.

The event itself was also fab! I got my make-up done at Benefit which I loved and also purchased the Stilla BB Cream which I've seen recomended in lots of places and I'm really excited to try it out and will probably be reviewing. I also got a Stilla lip glaze in 'Guava'. We got this gorgeous goody bag with lots of goodies in and it was just a really nice night and for such a good cause! Definitely reccomend it!

NOTD: Holiday Nails

Hey everyone,

As some of you may know, I spent the last week in Tenerife. I got my nails done before I went. I decided against Shellac as I like swapping my nail colours around on holiday. I chose this gorgeous colour called 'Lola' and I also had it on my toes. I think it looks really nice with a tan and is just a really girly pretty colour!

New coat (finally)

I've been looking for a winter coat for about 4 months and have only just found one that I like! If you follow me on Instagram you might of already seen it.

It's from Miss Selfridge and I love it to bits! I couldn't decide on a jacket with contrasting leather or a fur collar so when I saw this I had to have it. There are leather shoulders with a black fur collar. The material on the rest of the coat is wool I think? I'm awful with stuff like that but feels like wool to me!
It's fur on the inside so I'm sure it will keep me nice and warm in the winter.

Favourite Autumn Trends

Hey everyone,

I'm so sorry about my lack of posting recently. Obviously I've just gone back to school so I have a lot of school work and will not be able to post as much. In this post I will be talking about trends coming straight from the A/W12 catwalk and how you can incorporate them into your casual looks!

This is one of my favourite looks from Fashion Week; Cara Delevingne is also one of my favourite models! Trench coats are very in this autumn as is fur and this Burberry one is stunning! Sadly, not everyone can afford Burberry so here's some alternatives!




This is by Zara for only £69.99! It's not fur but is neutral colours and a lot more reasonably priced than the Mulberry coat.





This coat is from Mango at John Lewis. It is not fully covered in fur but the collar is which really makes it a statement piece.

This is the most expensive out of all the coats so far and it's from Asos It's £149. It's really stunning and the detail on the flaps are gorgeous.

Another trend is heavy knits. These are both off the Topshop Unique A/W12 catwalk. Khaki is also huge this Autumn as is the cross type print. These are also very expensive so here's some alternatives...




This jumper's from Topshop. They do it in lots of different colours and its really versatile ,it costs £36.




This next jumper is from Asos. I love the neckline on it and the laid back effect of it. They also do this in purple and its £42.







This jumper reminds me of the black and red Topshop Unique jumper above! It's from Topshop and is £42.

Obviously, peplum is a HUGE trend as its everywhere! Peplum is literally, everywhere but here are a few of my favourite peplum pieces...

This metallic peplum top is gorgeous and would be such a nice top you could put with a simple outfit to make it a bit more fun. It's by Rare** at Topshop and is £30.





I think this peplum skirt is a statement in your wardrobe. This one's from Topshop and is £28.






This skirt is gorgeous and tweed is also very on trend. It's £34.99 at Asos.

Most Worn Things Tag

I wasn't tagged to this but I love reading peoples post of these so here's mine...

1) Most Worn Nail Polish-I've been varying my nail polish's a lot this summer but I have 3 favourites which are Topshops Parma Violet,Topshops Daydream and Nails Inc's OMP they're all really summery girly colours!

2) Most worn hair product-Milkshake Conditioning Whipped Cream,it's so moisturising and i loveee the smell!

3) Most worn bag-probably my Celebrity Studded bag of eBay

4) Most worn shoes-Studded creepers,white converse or Skull sandals from miss selfridge,worn them all loads!

5) Most worn accessories-Cross necklace or various rings

6) Most worn clothing item-hard one!! Definitely my leather jacket and river island denim shorts,they're's soo many!

7) Most worn foundation-been trying to wear less make up this summer but for the first few weeks my MAC foundation and for the last few weeks my Benefit foundation.

8) Most worn blush and/or bronzer-Benefit coralista blush

9) Most worn lip product-Kate Moss lipstick by Rimmel

10) Most worn mascara-Benefit Get Real mascara

11) Most worn eyeshadow-The whole Urban Decay Naked pallette I have been wearing a lot this summer!

I want!!

Basically, these are all the items I want but can't afford at the moment! (There are a lot!!)

This bag isn't too expensive actually. But I don't really need a new clutch and I know they have a bag almost the same as this in Primark for much cheaper. Although when I went into the shop a few days ago,they didn't have it.

Ahhh,the studded Jeffery Campbell Lita's are stuning! Would do anything for a pair but can not afford them at the price of £118!

I tried this gorgeous jumper on in Topshop. But I can't pay almost £40 for such a simple item. Well,I might consider buying it when it gets to the winter but not yet.

This is the NARS Summer 2012 blush. It's a gorgeous summer that would compliment lots of skin tones. I can't afford this at the moment though but I'm hoping I will be able to soon:(

Hope you all enjoyed this post:)
