WINNER

Two days blogging - what is going on?!

Another outfit for you today. You've seen this blouse before in a previous outfit post, I love it. I'm not 100% sure why I love it so much but I do. It's just so pretty! It is absolutely freezing today, I should have layered up wayyy more than this, a thicker cardigan would have been a good idea but I know that now!

I actually wore this outfit on a night out with some massive platforms and loved it dressed up too. I'd say the outfits a winner!

This is the first time my Barbour Daphne jacket has been featured on here, it was a birthday present from my mum and dad - looove it. So easy to wear & cosy when layered well.

Not too much else to say really, pretty fed up with uni at the moment - fed up putting in effort to have it thrown back in my face but it's nearly holiday time which means I can see my fam-jan yayyy! I'm going to put in extra effort for the last two weeks of this semester and if it doesn't pay off Imna be sooo pissed off...

Hopefully my picture are a little bit better quality today?! Hopefully. I was messing around trying to find a good spot - the lighting in this room is pants!

BLACK ON BLACK

I really need to sort out my picture taking location, you can't see stuff properly cause of the brown chest of drawers in the background anddd the light from the window makes the pictures hazy! My apologies about that, I shall work on it! Promise.

I wasn't sure about this outfit at first but I really like it now, it's simple but not too casual - I don't really feel comfortable being 100% casual. A new thing I've been doing for the past few days is two scarves. Basically my fur stole for warmth and a silky scarf underneath. I really like the look of the two scarves.

I have finished all my essays for this semester just one exam two weeks today (eeek) and then I am done for Christmas holidays! Asking for a shopper/tote style bag for Christmas. I've seen a few nice ones so we will see what Santa brings!

WITH A BOW TIE & SPARKLE.

How amazing is Kim Kardashians outfit?!

I love it. The bow tie, the sparkly blazer. It is just amazing. I love an androgynous look with a touch of 'girly-ness', it makes a really classy, chic outfit. Love.

Team Kim K baby!

STANDARD BLONDE

I like this outfit. The jumper is a little shapeless but I liked wearing it so I guess that is what matters really. My fur stole is from last Christmas - amazing Christmas present. I love it especially with my leather biker jacket which is a nice change from my Barbour Daphne.

I went pretty ring heavy today too but it gives a nice modern, tough edge the to the fur stole I think. I am wearing, which you can't see, a new lip gloss from Collection 2000. I had a nude one in rock steady but saw the lilac version, Twisted Disco which is a gorgeous pale lilac colour.

I got my hair cut & re-dyed this week at a different hair dressers although I'm not really happy with the colour, I wanted a more peroxide colour but that isn't what she has given me. It's a bit too standard blonde for my liking!

OUT THERE

I love Kourtney's style! It is out there but the pieces she wears are just so beautiful. x

WARMTH

Just a simple outfit today. Excuse my cheery face, not sure what was going on there. This is one of the Zara jumpers - I love them. They are so cosy & easy to wear.

I'm just wearing my Topshop Kristen jeans - the high waisted ones- I noticed today that after only two washes they are already starting to fade! £40 for that... pffft! My boots which you can just see are the ones from Topshop, think they are the Alec lace ups - something like that. I love them although I'm not use to wearing heavy shoes so I feel I stomp a little in them. Always good. I just had a simple gold ring on & added my Barber jacket. Winter warmer right thurr.

Weekend was good. Went out, got far to drunk but it was good. Got to see my brother too so can't complain apart from the hangover yesterday which was disgusting especially at work. Self inflicted.

Hope you're all well.

EYES

This was requested by Caity hearts fashion, basically how I do my everyday smokey eye look. If you want ore detail I can do that no problem maybe in a video or something but for now here is what I use and step-by-step instructions.

I normally do my eye make up a little heavier than this but was having a not so heavy day this time it seems! I, also, sometimes do winged eye liner on the top lash line and the the smokey-ness underneath depending on how I am feeling that day. If I do this look I use MAC fluidline with Barbara Daly liquid liner pen.

Products used...

Estee Lauder Double wear eyeliner in Black & Brown
MUA Black shade (Shade 20 matt)
MUA Dark Brown shade (Shade 19 matt)
H&M Brown palette
YSL Shocking faux cils mascara
Rimmel Extra wow lash (I use either of these mascaras, just which ever  I pick up first!)

Bruches used...

MAC 239
Avon angled brush
No7 Pencil brush
No7 Blending brush

Steps...


Top lash line
 - Line the top lash line with quite a thick line using the black eye pencil & set this using a black or dark brown eye shadow, again depending on the look, using an angled brush.
- Using a sponge top applicator, pencil brush or shader brush smudge the eye liner & shadow until is soft and smokey.

Bottom lash line
- Use the black or brown eye pencil 3/4 of the way into the eye.
- Place different shades of brown over the top of the liner, starting with the lightest & building it up with darker colours. Pressing on & smudging as you go. I like to use 3/4 different shades - usual a light one, bit darker, bit darker etc.
- Finish with darkest brown or black (depending on what I fancy) in outer corner & smudged again so it all blends together.

Then apply lots of mascara to the top & bottom lashes.

Hope this was helpful!
