Top 3 High Waisted Jeans 2016

Hello,

Finding the right jeans is a tough one. Everyone has individual styles, body shapes and activities that need to fit with their jean criteria. Lately I've been wearing high waisted jeans, they're comfy and they are easy to style up or down. I've narrowed my favourites down to three, I hope this will help in your hunt for the perfect jeans.

3. Primark High Waisted Jeans, I think these retail at £10 however they have plenty of variations.

These jeans definitely rival No. 2 (Topshop Joni Jeans). Firstly the are cheap as hell, no one can complain about their price. They are very true to size and are stretchy. The only reasons I've put these at No. 3 is because they can stretch and not ping back, my black jeans have faded considerably and the back pockets hang low so they can make your bum look less perky.

2. Topshop MOTO Joni Jeans, £36.

These are very similar to No. 3. They aren't as stretchy (which could be a pro or con) but this does mean they are sturdier. They don't wear through as quickly as the Primark versions, although they can fade and start to bag, my last pair lasted me a good year and a half.

1. ASOS Rivington High Waisted Denim Jeggings, £26

These jeans were the best recommendation I have ever received. Sturdy and stretchy in all the right places, loads of colours that don't fade and well placed pockets. Plus I am more happy to spend £36 on a better quality, more comfortable trouser.

Autumn Wishlist 2015

Hello, 

Today I thought I would do a post I haven't done in a while which is my autumn wishlist, I love reading other peoples and also they are so fun to make!

1. This is a bit peculiar for me. It is Benefits new-ish 'Theyr're Real! Push Up Liner' in purple. I have wanted to try colourful eyeliner for ages which started with LLYMLRS rocking a coloured eye, Then I watched a video where Hello October used a navy eyeliner to contrast her orange lip and I was in love.
   
   I love dark purples and cranberry shades around this time of year and seeing as I have green eyes I feel a purple liner would be perfect for me!
2.  I have been lusting over these Topshop black dungarees for what seems like months now. They just look some comfy.
3. I have noticed that the eyebrow makeup I've been using lately is just the drips and drabs of what I have previously chucked back into my make up draw. After asking a mua friend they mentioned the ELF eyebrow kit to me, which I have previously owned and loved. Plus it's just so cheap for only £3
4. I was nervous to mention this product and to purchase it, all because of the Limecrime scandal. However it seems to have all died down now and also this colour just looks perfect for me. I've wanted to try a velvetine for a long time and when I came along this colour 'riot'.... well I just don't think I can resist.
5. At this time of year all I think about is cuddling up in a blanket, fresh pjs and some comfy socks. Which brings me too pyjamas. I've been looking around for some for a while and I can't seem to find the right ones. These Chelsea Peers pyjamas are quite pricey but don't they just look dreamy?
6. I know I know, Halloween is over. But this will never stop me from loving pumpkins; the taste, the colour, the smell. These pumpkin earrings just look perfect and cute.
7. I understand, these pom pom keyrings are just everywhere. This is just one fad I cannot resist, I also love adding texture to items in my bag so I know what I'm searching for. I think this dark green pom pom is the perfect autumn colour.
8. Last but not least phone cases. I have wanted to have a new case for my phone for a while now as any I have either look too childish or are falling apart. I've seen Skinndip raved about so many times and I think it might be time to take the plunge. I really love the look of the Dinosaur or Krusty Print iPhone 5 cases. So cute.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post, 

bye for now!

Topshop Red Lippy Look

Hi, 

Today I have recreated this Topshop red lip look. First I want to apologise for the bad lighting in the pictures as it was dark by the time I finished, ergh. Secondly, I have also realised I ever applied mascara for the photos but you live and learn.

To start with I did my lipstick. I went over my lips with my foundation and a beauty blender to create an even base then went over with a lip brush and this lip bullet by Topshop in rockabilly. 

The eyeshadow is very green based which isn't most flattering for me as I already have green eyes, but would definitely suit someone with brown eyes more.

I will use this photo for reference. 

I used the golden colour (top right) as a base all over the lid, it's a colour from natural collection but I don't know which colour exactly.

Then I lined my eyes all over using the green/golden colour (bottom right) which is Sumptuous Olive from Mac. I then applied this and blended, over and over again until I had the right amount of colour that I desired. I then used the blue/brown/green colour which is Club from Satin in my outer V and blended it out, 

I should have then applied a mascara, my current favourite being BADgal mascara by Benefit. 

I really like how this look came together, I just wish I had the right colour eyes to pull it off!

I hope you enjoy,

Topshop Lip Paint Review

Hi, 

Today I'm going to do a review on the Topshop lip paints in the colours Tallulah and Reminisce.  These were something I saw in the sale a few months ago so though I would give them a go, the colours looked nice and they were only a couple of pounds.

I fell in love with the colour Tallulah (the red) straight away as it looked like my kind of red, yknow? Unfortunately the formula wasn't what I was looking for, the colour came out patchy and parts would dry and others wouldn't. The dofer applicator also makes such a bold colour hard to apply as any mistakes will show up. The peachy pink colour, Reminisce, wasn't much different. Although mistakes weren't as visible.

The staying power was short lived and the colour transferred onto everything. Where parts didn't dry hair or fluff would stick.

I really wanted to love these as they were so cute and the packaging was on-the-go worthy, plus I got them for super cheap. Sadly these just didn't work for me but maybe they will work for you.

Thanks for reading,

Back To College Essentials 2014

Hi, so I thought it was time I did something back to school related even though everyone is pretty much dreading it. These are just a few things that I know will help me get through the year...

• Popper document wallets - I have a few of these in bright colours that I know will help me keep sheets all neat and organised (unlike I was last year).
• Pencil case - This is an essential (especially for an art student) and it's just too cute.
• Cute accessories - A way to any animal/food lovers heart, these super cute and colourful rubbers are a goo way to keep anyone smiling (and they are super cheap).
• Hair ties - I absolutely love these for the one and only fact that they don't leave a bump in your hair after you've had it up for hours. I know when I'm working I can quickly become aggravated by my hair touching face, so these will be handy for sweeping those loose bits back. 
• Concealer - This is the one make up essential I will always carry (and lip balm of course). It's handy for a lot of things, so just grab your favourite one and plop it in your bag for easy retouches. 
• Diary - This is a major essential for anyone (I know a lot of schools give you one for free). I use mine for scheduling my days to writing in homework and they are so handy.
• Music - This is more for the journey to or from college (as I get the bus) and this can put me in such a good mood. Sometimes we are allowed to listen to music in our lessons too. So grab your favourite upbeat songs and stick some headphones on. 
• Water bottle - Having a water bottle is great, as well all know drinking water has so many health benefits. I'm also thinking about getting a flask to carry warm drinks or even food (such as soup) to college. 
• The Bag - Last but not least an all important bag. I've been looking for one long before we broke up for the summer but I just couldn't find the right one. Then as the Topshop sale was ending I stumbled across this one. It should do just the trick and is a really cute colour. 

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy these type of posts.

Christmas Wish List 2013

I have seen this over the internet on different blogs here and there and I always find it quite interesting and inspiring at Christmas. As a disclaimer I don't expect to receive everything I have asked for, it is only a wishlist.  I have also offered to pay towards a laptop, you see the one I use know is almost as old as me and it doesn't work to well any more.  I'm not asking for any laptop in particular, I just told my parents what I wanted from it and what I would need it for and they understood (my dads a computer whizz).  Then some music of course, I love The Great Gatsby Book and film and Soundtrack so of course I asked for that. I also have a new found love which is Lorde. I've also asked for these two bits from Topshop, a little microwaveable dragon teddy (as I live with two other girls the hot water bottle is always being used) and one of their mini lip bullets as I really want to try one (I didn't specify a colour as I like surprises). I normally use ELF's primer but I have fallen out of love with it so I am looking for a new one and this looks perfect, so I have asked for the Revlon Photoready Primer. The last object is a phone case, but not just any phone case (and no I don't want the Kate Spade one).  It's an on-the-go charger, you can get them on ebay super cheap and I know this would be so useful.

Bye,

OOTD feat. Colour

Today I am going to do something a bit different. Here is something bright and colourful, not the usual, normally I'm in black or white, so time to step out of your comfort zone. Here Emilie is wearing a pink floor length dress from Topshop, it was down to £10 in my local store but unfortunately I cannot find it online any more. It was a bit chilly out so we covered this dress with a jumper from H&M (which was £14.99). This has been paired with a black pair of JuJu Black Heeled Sanadals which are £25. The flower crown is from Roses & Clementines and the butterfly necklace was from Accessorize a long time ago.  All together I like this outfit and how everything has come together. If you are interested in my photographs you can take a look over on my Flickr page. 

Thank you
