Faux Suede

 

Hey Guys! I hope you had a great weekend!

The weather is so confusing at the moment you wake up and it'd freezing outside but by lunch time the sun is out and its boiling, this is what happened yesterday when I wore this outfit and I was just so hot in long sleeves and tights! But I loved this outfit so I didn't really care about the weather haha! I'm loving faux suede so much at the moment, I bought this skirt from Primark for £10! I love this skirt, it fits perfectly and it is so so soft so for a tenner this is a bargain!

 

I teamed the skirt with my boohoo.com lace up back crop top which is really comfy and looks nice with most skirts/ trousers that I have! I also wore black tights- as it was cold when I got dressed- and pointed black dolly shoes that are also from primark , I will add a link to them below. I also wore my faux fur gilet that I bought in primark last year, I will also add a link below to something similar as I don't think they still sell them.

 

The bag that I finished this outfit off with was my python Celine bag which I love so much and is by far my favourite bag ever and Tom Ford sunglasses.

 

So as I said on my instagram, I have just started back at Uni for my second year and will have loads of projects to keep on top of so I am going to try my hardest to keep on top of my blog as much as I can by posting at least twice a week as I have been! If you have any requests on what you would like to see me blog about feel free to leave me comments below! I also hope you all like my review post that I did the other day, I really enjoyed doing it and will be doing more in the future, it was just something different to what I have previously done and I hope you enjoyed reading it!

 

See you all next time!

KIKO Mascara Review

 

 

Before

 

After

 

 

Hey guys, happy friday!

Today's post is something a little different to what I have done in the past as it is going to be a review on the latest mascara that I have purchased, the reason for this is that I was asked to review these latest buys over on my instagram, but the only thing I have got round to using yet is the mascara!

 

So yesterday I went shopping is Cambridge and popped into the KIKO cosmetics shop that they have there and as I usually do, I bought something new to try out. I have tried the nail varnishes/ lipsticks and lip pencils before so I decided it was time to try one of the mascaras. I am usually a Maybelline mascara kinda girl but I thought why not try something new!

 

I usually go for the Maybelline 'colossal volum express cat eyes' mascara (I will add a link below) which has a curved brush and makes my eyelashes look so long and thick. This KIKO 'Unforgettable mascara' does exactly the same, I actually think it is better, it goes on perfectly and the brush is quite fat so it covers every eyelash and makes them look full and long. This was actually in the sale I think for about £3.90 which is about half the price of the Maybelline (which is about £7.99) one yet I find it is so much better and not as clumpy as other ones that I have used before.

 

Overall, I really like this mascara and I will definitely be buying more from kiko in the future, I have so many lipsticks from there its silly so I think this will be the start of a new collection for me!

 

I hope you like this post and if you would like to see more on the nail varnishes/ lipsticks that I have please let me know and I will be happy to review them!

 

See you next time.

Hey guys!! How have you all been?! Today's post is a kinda belated payday wish list (slash) what I really want for the next few months as A/W approaches!

So the first three images of the most recent online purchase that I have made from boohoo.com. I LOVE lace up items at the moment and faux suede, and especially when they are together! So these three garments arrived this morning.. don't you love that feeling you get when the doorbell rings and you know that its a delivery for you.. its so exciting, but opening it is the best part, its addictive and makes me so happy to have these newbie in my life (sad I know)!! These boots are just below knee height, they have a zip down the back so they are easy to put on/ take off and have lace up sides so you can loosen them slightly if they are too tight tot begin with- they are also VERY comfy and easy to walk in I have seen these sold in quite a lot of other online shops e.g. public desire for the same price. The second item is the faux suede 'chocolate' brown lace up front dress, this is so so soft and would look really good either dressed up or down! The last item that arrived this morning is the black high neck long sleeved lace up back crop top which looks so cute on and will go with so much of my wardrobe, if you would like me to post about how I style it then please let me know!!

So the next items in this list of my A/W wish list, are all from missguided. I'm loving khaki and rust coloured things at the moment as you can tell as most of these are those colours. The first item is similar to the black crop top that I have just told you about with the lace up feature with its lace up sleeves which I just so cute! I have also previously blogged about my love for wide leg trousers which I'm still loving for the next seasons, as well as culottes, I recently bought myself some white culottes from primary (which is risky because I don't trust myself wearing white things because knowing me ill ruin them) but I'm loving these pinstripe culottes as they are still summery but also great for autumn as if you're like me and really don't want summer to be over yet they keep the summery vibe alive!

I remember Bella loving the kind of shirts that are next on the list last year and this year I'm loving them too as shirt dresses as they are so simple yet make a real statement and are so easy to dress up with the new lace up boots that is at the top of this list or some converse to dress it down.

As I have also previously mentioned, I am loving khaki and rust colours this season, they are just so bang on trend and colours that I wouldn't usually wear but I can't get enough of them right now! I'm loving this khaki sleeveless duster style jacket with matching trousers, I love this sophisticated coord outfit and it needs to be in my wardrobe when payday comes around!! Same with these rust wide leg trousers, they are so nice and they're even better that they're high wasted and would look lush with my black lace back crop!

The last thing on this list is the beautiful double tassel rust faux suede jacket that I can't imagine being the best in the rain but lovely in the cool autumn breeze. This is an ultimate MUST for the up and coming season!

If you have any questions/ suggestions, as always, let me know and i'll catch you on my next post!!

D.I.Y Louboutin's

 

 

 

 

Happy Friday guys!!

 

So today's post is a little different to my previous ones! It is my 21st birthday in September and I really wanted some fab shoes, so I had been looking at ones online... especially admiring Christian Louboutin's infamous red soled beauties! Obviously I can't afford the real thing so I decided I would make my own for so much cheaper !

 

To begin with I shopped around for the 'perfect shoes' that will go with my birthday dress. I finally found them in the Next sale for a whole £16 from £32 (ish)!

 

I then researched the best way to paint the bottom of shoes and found that using wall paint and clear acrylic were a popular thing to use as well as a simple nail varnish and clear top coat- so I decided to use nail varnish as it would be cheaper!

 

When it came to painting the soles of my shoes, I covered the fabric around the sole with masking tape to avoid getting the paint on to the rest of the shoe. I also made sure there was no dirt on the soles before I painted them so I gave them a quick clean with soapy water which did the trick.

 

The nail varnish I used to paint the soles of these shoes was a 'Miss Sporty' red in the shade 150 (which was £1.99 a bottle I think), I got two bottles (one for each sole as the bottles are only small and need more than one layer). I then painted each sole with two coats- leaving each one to dry before I added another coat.

 

I then left them over night before adding two layers of 'Collection Top Coat' (which was about £2.99). I decided to use a clear nail varnish to keep the red on as if my nail varnish can stay on without getting chipped after working or washing up I think it can stay on the bottom of some shoes- even if it doesn't last that long!

 

Once the clear had dried my own Louboutin's were finished! I can't wait to wear this next month, and I will be doing a post on my birthday outfit- including these beauties! I hope you like this post- if so let me know and I can try and do more like this!!

 

Have a lovely weekend!
