Statement Clutch

Clutch: Primark (£10!!)

Dress: ASOS (similar here)

Heels: Next

How amazing is this clutch?! The beading is beautiful and makes it feel so much more luxurious and expensive than it actually was. With all the colours the clutch has it means it will be able to go with almost any outfit for a meal or night out with friends. I also love this midi dress and the fact that it is so versatile! Here I have styled it for a night out with heels and a statement clutch, however I also wear this dress casually for work by styling it with black heeled sandals and a cardigan or leather jacket if its cold out (which it almost certainly always is now it's October!). The dress is made from a lovely heavy fabric which means it fits really well and drapes beautifully. I haven't put any jewellery with the outfit as, although the dress is plain, the clutch and pop of colour from the heels adds enough detail without the need for anything extra.

On Tuesday it was my 20th Birthday and it feel crazy not to be a teenager any more! I had the best time over the weekend with my boyfriend. We went to London Zoo and had dinner and drinks afterwards in Spitalfields. Then on Wednesday, 20 of us ASOS lot went Bowling in Finsbury Park which was so much fun!

Loyal and Unabashed

Following the love I received from my original NARS make-up post, the lovely ladies over at NARS NYC decided to send me a little gift to say thank you! I've been blogging for just over two months now so it's lovely to see big companies supporting bloggers and "normal" girls who are truly passionate about the products they use. I was so excited opening the package and was even more excited when it revealed this beautiful orange nail varnish and very glam but understated lip gloss! I've been wearing nail varnish non-stop for probably over two years now so I couldn't wait to paint them this lovely autumnal colour. After two coats the colour was bright and vibrant and has lasted well since I applied it on Thursday. The lip gloss feels great on and fades to a subtle shimmer over time.

Lipgloss - NARS

Nail Varnish - NARS

On the same day as my lovely NARS goodies arrived, my friend and I took a beauty trip to MAC in Spitalfields. (This is before I knew the package had arrived, BEAUTY OVERLOAD)! That same day, I had spotted my friend wearing a gorgeous shade of lipstick from MAC called "half and half" and knew straight away I had to have it. I don't normally invest that much money into make-up, however I think it's about time that changed. Make-up is the only thing that us girls wear consistently everyday and so it only seems right that this is what we spend the most money on, especially as the products are going onto our skin! This shade of lipstick is a beautiful everyday colour that I know I will wear again and again. The shade is fairly dark which also gives off that Kylie Jenner vibe ;)

Style Update: My Bedroom

Last weekend I had the sudden instinct to redecorate my room. I still live with my parents as I don't yet have the money to move out and my room has pretty much stayed the same since I was in year 8! I wanted to give my bedroom an updated look without spending too much money and so I decided to buy smaller items that would make a big impact and still achieve the look and feel I wanted. This is the finished look...

Animal Hooks: Urban Outfitters

Lamp: ASDA

Small Canvas: My friend's artwork

Bird hooks: Small boutique by me

Rug: Urban Outfitters

The theme of my room is "walk in wardrobe". I work in fashion and buy so many clothes that I wanted to show them off and display them more as features rather than have them hidden away in my cupboards. I really love the end results as my room reflects my personality so much more than it did before. Buying smaller things instead of re-doing my whole room means that I can take the decorations with me when I decide to move out too!

I hope I've given you some inspiration if you were thinking about re-vamping the look of your bedroom!

Spitalfields market

Jacket: Vintage Levi

Dress: Monki

Trainers: Nike

One of my favourite places to go in the whole of London is Spitalfields market. Me and my mum have been going there since I was little and it's always such a cute trip. The market is a creative hub of vintage clothes, street food and art and the atmosphere is always amazing. On Saturday we ventured down there for a look around so I decided to wear this amazing midi dress from Monki with my Nike internationalists as they are so comfy and give a casual vibe to what could be an otherwise dressy outfit. I also wore my favourite vintage Levi jacket (it used to be my mum's) to add interest to the all-black dress.



P.s, thanks mum for taking the pictures, haha!

NARSissit

NARSissit Limited Edition Smokey Eye Kit

Last weekend my boyfriend went back to uni and my best friend of 16 years went off to start her first year at the uni of Norwich to study fine art. The two of them leaving at the same time left me feeling pretty down and lonely, so I decided to treat myself to a rather extravagant yet beautiful purchase in the hopes of cheering myself up. 

I wouldn't normally spend this much on make-up and so I was expecting pretty amazing results. This NARS set comes with 3 eyeshadows, a brush and an eyeliner. The packaging is lovely and simple and makes you want to use the product, I was excited getting out each piece from it's packaging! The eyeshadows themselves are beautiful colours that can be used together or individually depending on what look you're going for. As it was the weekend when I applied this make-up, I had more time on my hands than normal and so decided to go for the full on smokey eye effect. The brush that it comes with is a lovely angled one, which is great for a large sweep application but not as good for more precise work as I thought it would be. However, the product out of this set that I was most impressed with was the eyeliner as it glided on with smooth precision and stayed put all day! 

Overall I am happy with the set as I spent the whole day shopping around an absolutely packed Oxford Street and by the end of it the eyeliner and shadow were still on with minimal creasing! (Of course the colour intensity had dulled slightly, although nobody would be able to tell.) I'm looking forward to using this again to create a more neutral look for work.

Have you bought any new make-up recently that you were really impressed with?

Blue Biker Jacket

Jacket - Primark (also featured here)

Top - H&M (last summer)

Jeans - Zara (last summer)

Trainers - Nike

When I saw this jacket in Primark I couldn't believe my eyes! It was almost exactly like the one I had been lusting over in Zara for so long but at the much more affordable price of £25 as opposed to £80! It was a hard decision between this pastel blue and the pastel pink version however I am just loving this colour at the moment. I've styled the jacket really casual here with just a grey "A"  logo t-shirt from last season's H&M, some Zara jeans and a pair of Nike Internationalists. However, this jacket could also be worn on a night out to add interest to an all black look.


Have you recently found any steal pieces that could pass as higher end?

Team ASOS!

Yesterday afternoon everyone at ASOS HQ headed down to the Odeon at Leicester Square for the biannual "ASOS Strategy" presentation. The whole of ASOS queued outside the cinema waiting to go in which really confused tourists - I even got asked if I was auditioning for X Factor! Everyone got a free drink and a cute little pot of jelly beans to watch the presentation which consisted of talks from the directors and videos of our AW14 collections. Afterwards, womenwear headed down to Jewel Bar in Picadilly so myself and Charlotte tagged along to meet our friend who works on women's branded shoes. We stayed for a bit but then headed down to Foundation Bar in Covent Garden to party with our mates in menswear. It turned out to be a fun night which ended with a drunken trip to Five Guys for an expensive but tasty burger!
