Boohoo Bodysuit obsession

Image
This year I have rekindled an old flame of mine - the Bodysuit! Every so often I find myself going bodysuit mad and I think it's that time again and this time round it has been with Boohoo.com. I bought one just before Christmas and have worn it a couple of times and purchased one again a couple of weeks ago. Why am I becoming obsessed again? Why not! They are currently the rage, come in all kinds of designs and are a good piece to mix up with different styles. They are super comfy to wear and can be dressed up for a night out or dressed down with a pair of jeans - either way they are a must for your wardrobe! My recent find was the "Sophie Wrap Front Halter Neck Bodysuit" in black. (Currently I am all things black) but once the colder weather passes I would love to get the same bodysuit in another colour. I wore this to surprise birthday party and black is always a winner.   I loved the fact it had a low back and the front being a halter neck kept the bodysuit...

Graphic jumper trend for New York Fashion week

Image
With New York fashion week well underway, I couldn't help but immerse myself into fashion fantasy by constant Instagram and Twitter uploads. Reading and scanning images of who attended, what they wore and of course the trends for Fall/ Winter 2016. With New York being one of my favourite cities and A lover of all things fashion I couldn't help myself but wear something New York inspired. Sometimes I like to keep my weekend style casual and relaxed so I recently invested in jumpers from various shops on Oxford Street to carry me through the end of winter and into early spring. This particular jumper caught my eye in Forever 21 - with its monochrome style and simple statement "Madison Avenue. New York City". It's Brilliant white screamed spring/ summer and once I picked it off the rail I didn't want to let go. I usually take a size Small or Medium but I am currently loving all things oversized so I opted for size Large. Even though it's larg...

Looking to create the perfect pout? Look no further than Mac

Image
For a few years now I have been an avid wearer of bright lip sticks. I have worn pinks, reds and orange tones from all brands but had never succumbed to the Mac cosmetic trend.  At the end of January I took a trip to Selfridges where I found myself immersed in the Chaos of the Mac beauty counter full of women trying and testing all the makeup. A young girl approached me and directed me to the lipsticks and talked me through all the colours they had to offer. For once I wasn't interested in the bright reds or sugary pinks I was immediately drawn to the shiny nude tones.  Trying all the different nude lipsticks I came across a gorgeous one called "Blankety" it's soft shiny nude colour looked as though I had just licked a perfect set of pearly lips But I didnt stop there, I started to test a lot of lip liners too.                        I found a light brown colour lipliner called "Stripdown" and I haven't ...

Feeling Forever 21 with my latest cluster ring purchase

Image
A few years ago I took a trip to LA and discovered "Forever 21". It had all the latest fashion at incredibly low prices, so you can imagine how I felt when it landed in the UK. On Friday I took a trip to Oxford Street where there is a large "Forever 21" and I couldn't wait to get in and explore. Admittedly I left with a few items but my favourite was just £4.50! On the first floor they have a large selection of jewellery. Necklaces, bangles, bracelets, sunglasses, shoes, scarfs..everything! For a while I have interested in a silver cluster of rings and the set pictured on the left really caught my eye. For £4.50 you get 7 rings in alternative sizes. I was going to wear them on my left hand but really liked the look of them with my wedding and engagement rings. The rings are extremely comfy to wear and are available in 2 sizes S/M and M/L. Out of the 7 rings 4 of them have an individual design and intricate detail considering the price. After pur...

When a Selfridges visit leads to Primark heaven

Image
Selfridges in London is my favourite department store. It's located on the famous Oxford street and has everything under one roof but my recent discovery is one not to miss! Selfridges is home to all the top designer brands and also has an affordable fast fashion department on the ground floor. Topshop, Miss Selfridge and H&M Can all be found but my new found love is the Primark section where all the garments are neatly presented and also boasts a limited edition range. I managed to snap up this gorgeous statement necklace for just £8 and a cute evening bag for £12. Both items were from the "limited edition" range and couldn't believe I had 2 items for £20! Although the quality of the bag is not fantastic it certainly doesn't look like it cost £12. It has an ethnic pattern , a gold coloured clasp and gold chain that adjusts to 2 sizes. This particular bag is fairly small in size but perfect for a night out or a special occassion. The necklace when ...

Real Techniques - Bold Metals Collection - do you dare to strike bold?

Image
One of my New Years resolutions this year was to take more care and attention of the products I use on my face. Knowing that I'm not getting younger and my mum often reminds me I should be gentle with my face  and skin, I decided to finally splash out on a proper set of brushes and came across Real Techniques. I researched into where I could buy some and was pleasantly surprised to see a set I could buy from Boots UK, from that moment onwards I literally couldn't wait to purchase them. After visiting several Boots I soon realised this particular set of brushes were not easily accessible and only the larger Boots stores stocked them, I found mine in The Oxford Street branch in London but You can also buy them separately online -if you hurry they are currently on offer! (Each sold separately) The set I purchased was beautifully packaged and I adore the idividual colour of each brush - Gold for the 100 Arched Powder Brush, Rose Gold for the 300 Tapered Blush and silver for ...

Something Paisley for the weekend

Image
Last weekend I decided to hit the shops to look for an outfit for a close friends birthday party. Walking around the shopping centre I remembered I hate shopping in January because of all the unwanted sale items still looming on the shop rails and therefore left empty handed. Mid week I decided to have a sneaky peak at Boohoo.com. I already had in mind I wanted a Paisley shirt dress that I could wear with my new Chanel boots.  I came across the "Debbie Paisley Border print shirt dress". Although I tend to steer away from colours I really liked the print/ variation in this particular dress. I choose the black option but it also has elements of navy, cream and burgundy. By having a variety of colours it would enable me to mix and match it with other items I currently have in my wardrobe. When I tried it on I wasn't 100% sure the style would suit a Saturday night out. The length of the dress was longer than I anticipated and reached my knees.  To me it didn't qu...
