Baby Its Cold Outside!

I haven't written anything in a while and I'm feeling like I need to rant on about clothes for around 10 minutes, so here we are! 

Today's post is short and sweet and it is dedicated to the cold winds fast approaching our small isle... First up is this absolutely stunning faux fur coat from Asos. 

It is £90 and something that I have been drooling over for sooooooo long! 

I first wanted a long fur coat when I saw Carrie's one all those years ago... But I'm just not into real fur. 

This isn't the only faux fur Asos are parading this winter, from dyed beauties to subtle stunners, there will most deffo be a fur for everybody. 

This gorgeous jacket is down to £68 from £199

This Beaut comes in red or cream and is a perfectly affordable £59.50

And if a whole fur coat isn't for you why not check out these.

So whatever your style, head to Asos make sure you wrap up with a delightful faux fur this winter!

Dirty Drinks and Shoes

The Weekend just gone was my little sisters’ birthday, and even though the big celebration will be this coming weekend we decided to pop into town on their actual day of birth to have a wander around.

Our first stop was Covent Garden where we grabbed a quick sandwich then proceeded to our fave little bar- Dirty Martini, a tiny underground speakeasy with an endless happy hour. Dark and candle-lit all day long, it is perfect for getting lost in London.

Feeling merry (and slightly confused that it was still daylight) we decided it would be a good idea to visit Harrods. And once we finally made our way through the herd in Knightsbridge station (seriously who just goes to Harrods on a whim 4 weekends before Christmas??) we arrived in the beauty section. But no, that was not good enough for us. We were headed in one direction only… Shoe Heaven.

As someone who had never previously been to SH, I don’t know what I was doing with my life up until this point because as soon as I stepped inside I felt like my world was complete.

The beautiful entrance on the Egyptian staircase can’t even take your eyes away from the magic that is inside… Everything is glass, and mirrored and spotlighted to perfection (I know it is a sales technique- it works). Most girls are inner magpies, give us something shiny and we’re yours.

Walking through the maze of Chanel, Prada and Christian Louboutin, with ruby slippers that even Glinda would have coveted, shoes covered in (real) pearls, and a whole room of Carrie’s Manolos in every jewel tone you could possibly imagine, one thing was for sure, we were not in Kansas anymore. Each cove belonging to a different designer held new wonder for our eager souls.

The price tags were rising, the carpets inviting, the lights shining brightly, the shoes were like prizes, in all different sizes, it was all so exciting, with Valentino and Prada and Alaia oh my!

With us girls ooohing and aaahing and caressing every shoe we laid eyes on, poor Dan really dealt with it well. Obviously I was not allowed to take pictures of the shoes themselves, so you must all go to see the beauts with your own eyes, its worth going just to walk on the lush carpets (even my uninterested boyfriend admitted they were good!)

So fly my pretties, go and enjoy the splendors of Shoe Heaven… but be careful you may not ever wish to go home.

Lips That Can Party All Night

I was shocked when I realised how many of my lovely friends who are fantastic at make up didn’t know the trick to keep lipstick on all day and night. So it made me wonder how many other lovely ladies aren’t privy to the secret. In this post I will go through how I put my lipstick on in the morning to make it last all day (no matter what I eat or drink).

I am aware that this post would have worked better as a vlog but I don’t have a decent camera or lighting so for now this will have to do.. I have done my best!

Firstly, this is what you will need to complete this look.

Lip balm, concealer, lip liner (MAC ‘currant’), a lip brush, lipstick (MAC ‘rebel’), one square of tissue, and a bottle of Lipcote.

FIRST STEP: Rub a tiny amount of lip balm onto your lips, this works as a primer. It will take any dryness out of your lips, making it easier to apply the liner. Then take some concealer and dab it onto your lips then even it out with your finger.

SECOND STEP: Line all around your lips (if you want a darker fuller colour then you can fill your lips in with liner as well, but I’m going for more of an ombre look this time). Make sure you don’t forget the creases in the corner of your mouth, this will ensure you join the lips evenly and your lips will look fuller.

THIRD STEP: Apply the lipstick. For this you don’t have to use a brush but I always do just to make sure its even and well covered. Then take your tissue and blot.

FOURTH STEP: Re-apply the lipstick, you will see the colour deepen and you can go over any edges that my be slightly uneven.

FIFTH STEP: Reline the outer lip, depending on what look you are going for this can be a nice light line, or like me, quite dark. Then take your lip brush and just blend it in slightly so the look is not so dramatic.

SIXTH STEP: Apply your Lipcote. Now I’m not going to lie to you, this will feel like your lips are on fire for around 7 seconds.. But then it dies down and you just have to wait for it to dry. Best to try and keep your mouth perfectly still for this, it will take around a minute.

And there you have it, do this in the morning and I can guarantee that come 8pm your lips will be perfect. The only thing you may need to touch up is the inside of your lips if you eat things like sandwiches or burgers as the contact with your lipstick will inevitably rub a bit.

I have gone through this process step by step so it might seem like it would take ages but that is absolutely not the case, it takes about 4 mins in total.

Give it a go ladies and let me know how it works out!

Autumn Glam

I really loved Sam Faiers outfit at the Asda tickled pink ball last week, she looked absolutely beautiful.

And obviously her pink dress was in theme with the evening.. But I feel like if I were to mimic it I would go for a more autumnal look.

This Bardot midi dress from Asos is a fantastic alternative and at £20 it’s a bargain too!

And as for those darling shoes, the perfect companions for that dress, they come in a seasonal colour too!

These metal toed Topshop babies are £50 and sexy as hell. Then all you need to do is make sure you’re accessory fabulous with this Moschino heart clutch bag (£112) and you have a perfect winter date night outfit!

So whether it’s a date with your sweetheart or with the girls, you’ll look gorgeous!

Peace and love xx
