Being creative.

After a day out to the woods with a very strange bag of props, we came out with a fair amount of photos, some laughs, and video footage.

 With an idea of 'anything can fly as long as you never let go'. The first thing that came to mind was a scarf. 

A day of filming with me' favourite girl. Although, having some pretty loud laughs; the footage didn't turn out too bad. 

This photo was inspired by never turning your head away from something you love.

Attempting to strum with no knowledge.

Glitter is the spark that lights a flame of happiness.

How can you not love a Rebel?

I have found my new love for MAC lipsticks! I can truthfully say that this is the first MAC lipstick which I can say is mine. Although, I do own more MAC lipsticks but none like this one.

 When I bought this lip product, it seemed really dark in product form but I thought I'd take a risk and see how it turns out. Well as you can see it turned out beautifully! 

 I can't quite work out how to describe this lipstick as its quite a plummy colour with a slight pink undertone. I highly recommend checking this colour out as it is superb and really completes a quite simple lip.

This was the first time i'd used the lipstick and saw how it came out. So I thought I would compliment this look with a nude eye with just heavy coats of 3D lash mascara by MAC. Using a lengthening lash mascara to me makes your eyes really bold and makes your lashes stand out. Making your eyes look more awake but bright.

This was just a quick review of something i've been loving.

Have you read IT?

If not then I highly suggest you keep reading, or if you have, you would understand my craze over the book. This is probably the first fashion sort of book I have read, an yet I thoroughly enjoyed it! Okay, so lets just I didn't think that it was going to be written how it was written; but I then think thats why I actually would read it again. 

 Taking me only two days to read it, I almost didn't want to finish the last page at all but as another book closes another book opens and whilst my order from amazon books is currently being ordered, I figured I would turn to fiction for help. But yet I can't say I feel the same way about it as I do with Alexa.

January Lookbook: Youtube...

I recently ventured into the world of youtube, which turns out it is not that easy to get noticed! My 4th upload went up yesterday; I have to say that I am pretty proud of it. Going from grunge- going out- wrapping up and the casual: beanie. Ranging from day looks to the uptown night outs in winter!

To Be or Not To Be?

One month later, clothes, shoes, bags, jewellery bought; lets just say as much as a girl can by in a month... all squished into one case.

 The male version of.............

Vogue China- January 2014

This gorgeous metallic dress fits perfectly to the body- Which I wish was a body I had... Keep dreaming. The gold bands add to the in depth contour and the red lips, nudish eyes and sleek hair bounces of the dress with black laced  gladiators

I can't I might wear this in this weather but if vogues throwing us this in january then; what can they throw us in the summer?

Bare It Brave.

Braving the day with no make up... sadly enough makes me feel naked and troll like. But receiving the Bare Minerals starter kit for christmas just makes me feel extra special and truly gorgeous (well better than what I looked like before). Wearing make up just became so much easier to apply and even easir to  wear without looking like a victoria sponge.

 I decided to go for the matte version of Bare Minerals, out of the choice of either this or the original version. As currently, I haven't got the best skin... These do come in handy as they are soooooo good for your skin and have so many benefits!

Sadly enough, I haven't quite reached tanning stage yet as England just has the worst "floods" at the moment, but with the kit you get the bronzer; which you might say is cheating but I consider it as clever! ;)

If you have bad skin and still want to cover up without making them ten times worse (which is what i've spent a month doing!!!) then I can assure you its totally worth it.

HELLOOOO... Its Flawless Time!

Hello sweetie! This little baby is what I like FLAWLESS. When I think of "flawless" make up, I think of models which have been airbrushed and most certainly been touched by photoshop... but lets be honest to get flawless skin requires not only money and genes but most likely a slight bit of make-up. Well, for me anyway!

HELLO Flawless Oxygen Wow- Brightening Make Up- by Benefit 

When I got my hands on a bottle of this... I thought it would be the typical bottle of foundation which looks nice and has great coverage but still feels really thick on your face, but I was actually surprised! And I have to admit that it did make my face quite bright as well!

With such great coverage, yet a light touch on the skin and leaving your skin looking radiant and glowing... I have to say that £25.50, is almost quite definitely worth the money.

Grab a sample and get flawlessling............ You never know how flawless you might make it!

TOPSHOP... How have you just got involved in Eyeko?

I've been using Eyeko for months now... so where the hell has Topshop been? I was recently looking for a new mascara so when THIS hit the market... lets just say that there should have been lot more craze about it than there was! I haven't stopped using the mascara and the eyeliner since I got them. As many celebrities craving these eye designed products, with Chung just endorsed: could we say the Eye industry has grown?

"Very happy to announce I am now working with eyeball decorators extraordinaire Eyeko" Alexa Chung 

With Alexa on the scene, this product is growing in population. If you get your hands on these babies you've obviously hit gold. Lets just saying finding these aren't the easiest of tasks as to find a shop which hasn't sold out is quite a task.

Topshop step back Alexa's got this covered. @eyeko @alexachung

Wanting without money

I always find that when the sales come about... There's the thing that all the money that you've previously saved gets spent on other people at Christmas. So when I visit London, and find that there's so many sales of items which I originally bought for the normal retail price...

I found a gorgeus pair of boots in urban outfitters... But it's a pair which I really wanted but will just have to wait for them to be bought another day, next year.

But I did buy something... TOPSHOP... Reduced to £25 from £45... So I took it on.

Enjoy the sales!

My Definition of "www"

-W-W-W-
An abréviation of the "world wide web" or what i'd like to call "who- what-wear"

Who- the someone with great fashion sense which shares their concept of fashion with the -W-W-W-

What- the items from a variety of cultures which the "who" chooses to wear.

Wear- how the combination of fashion and culture is put together by the "who"

Using Google for fashion;  anyone can find any style or fashionable items just through one search engine and billions of results. My idea of 'googling' fashion is that you can find anything and or anyone in one click of ones finger on a keyboard . Which if you are reading this, you obviously clicked the right button; and the right www dot.

What I should be wearing.... What I actually wear...

Constantly getting told off about wearing less clothes in winter than what I should be is pretty much
my forté..... So I thought I'd show you what I would like to be wearing this winter.

The winter dream

And then reality comes crashing down...   (Cheers reality!)

Maybe reality is not so bad.

Winter/Christmas Must Haves

Winter/Christmas is my favourite time of year, the warmth of a house but maybe not the cold of the outdoors and if you live in England you'll probably know the usual rain and wind. I always have winter must haves as, personally my skin can sometimes get really dry or cracked which is where some of my must haves come in handy. 

 Yankee candles, or just any candles in general which have nice scents in the winter is lovely in your living room or bedroom or even next to your bath/shower in the bathroom.

My favourites, which i've talked about before are by yankee candle; snow in love, spiced orange and salted caramel.

 Now this little creature is one of my winter essentials, If you have a pet you'll know how waking up on christmas morning with your little 'dumpling' feels. Well, this is mine.

 I didn't find a picture of this but I thought i'd just write it. You can get these from Starbucks and they are literally the best things ever, along with toffee nut lattes.

I love these nail varnishes at christmas, it looks gorgeous on and is lovely for accentuating christmas.

 These pjs which were from primark are so soft and cozy but also I think are cute for lounging in.

 I love christmas bed covers; this one I got from linens direct.

My favourite lipsticks in winter are deep reds and this stunning berry colour my Rimmel is perfect for fitting this criteria. This is 107.

If you want to see more of my favourites for this season, you can check out my youtube channel with a video to "fit this criteria" of blog : Click the link & see where it leads :)

Winter/Christmas Must Haves....

Reading Books with No Endings...

If your like me and have a hobby of buying book series but never actually reach the end, you'll know how distracting it is. As much as love reading a current book, I always end up going on a rampage to buy more books to the series although I haven't finished the book I'm reading. I suppose this is not the best of traits as I would love to be able to finish a series without getting distracted by another book I buy; which turns out not to be that good anyway...

In what you would call the "quick reads" the books you read with something like a hundred pages, between series when you need a break. Is what I like to call the "the books that take me ages to read". Lets just say I'm not the fastest reader and sitting next to someone in class, reading; who has a different book every day is pretty embarrassing compared to me with me reading the same book over two to even six months sometimes. I'm sure I'm not the slowest reader, well at least hope I'm not the slowest reader but theres nothing wrong with slow reading right?

I spent about one month reading the "Chaos Walking: The Knife of Never Letting Go" as good as a book it was i'm now half through the second one and stopped when my brother bought be two books for my birthday. Which I have to say are very good books, its just now i've left the series for these books and to go back to them im sure is going to be hard.

As its december, my aim for 2014 is to actually finish reading a series with no distractions or those annoying slow reads...

They're Real- Benefits Famous Mascara...

Now lets excuse the fact that I haven't plucked my eyebrows in while but i'm soon aiming for that to change... As my last review I received this as a present for my birthday. Although, this is a high end brand and maybe more expensive than a usual drugstore brand but let me get to the point and say that it is entirely worth it. 

Now, Im pretty much a 'judge a book by its cover' kind of girl when it comes to products. I know that although drug store brands make an effort with a products packaging, to me it never beats high end. I absolutely love Benefits packaging; with all of there products. I think what attracts me is that they're very good in having their own style and being what I call quirky. 

Real:

 Starting with my boring eye... I thought i'd start with what they on there packaging call 'Real!' which is my real eye as it is. I love wearing mascara and if your not a huge lover of make up or even just starting out your collection, the main thing you'll first own and first buy will be mascara. As it is just such an enhancement on your eye; especially if your like me and have 'NO!' Eyelashes. Not literally but lets just say compared to other people (mine could be longer).

BEYOND Real:

 As what benefit calls the 'BEYOND Real' . I have to say to my original lashes it makes my lashes look like i've been to the moon and back or least just have put loads of eyelash growing serum onto them! Even though, being a massive eyeliner fan, I think that this look is just beautiful which anyone could pull off. I put up my hands in defeat and say that this mascara makes me want to wear only mascara without eyeliner. For me this is a big commitment.

Give this mascara a go as I'm more than sure you will definitely be satisfied. Enjoy your trip to the moon and back. 

Honey- Marc Jacobs Review.

For my birthday I had a very long list of presents and gift ideas for people to buy me for my birthday. When I then opened this up as a present from my brother, I was so happy as I have been wanting this for ages. I don't know what exactly attracts me to the perfume, I sometimes think that the packaging is gorgeous and really displays the perfume itself.

As you can see with the bottle its beautiful and is based on bumble bees as I like to call them. I think that I could almost just buy perfumes like this for there packaging.

This is such a lovely scent perfume. Its subtle but noticeable, although it is sweet; it comes across as a very imminent aroma. For me, I love perfumes which are not too strong or which are not sweet and slightly sickly to smell, so this perfume fits perfectly into my category. Which I suppose is why I like it so much.

As putting the perfume on my birthday list, my sister had a really what I found cute idea of instead of buying me the perfume, she bought me the necklace which holds a solid form of the perfume inside it. This is such a witty idea from the company as maybe the perfume might not last on you all day this petite yet pretty necklace, is so handy. You can wear it round your neck and when you feel like you might need a little spruce up of the scent you simply slide it open and dab a small amount of the solid onto your neck or wrists. 

I highly recommend smelling this perfume or even grabbing a small tester to try it out. As i'm sure if your like me and your perfume categories are pretty much the same as my "checklists" then i'm sure you'd love this perfume. As I seem to have.
