Autumn Fashion - My Style, On Trend & High Street | New Look | H & M | Primark

Hello my lovely lot!!! 

IT'S FREAKIN AUTUMN MAAAYYNNN!!! 

This is legit my favourite time of the year, if you have followed my blog or my social media for a while then this will not be brand new information. Ha. 

This is totally when I am at my happiest, don't get me wrong I love the Summer for... Well, the sun and stuff - the sun also makes me happy but for me I cannot wait for Summer to be over. I know some of you will be screaming at your screen's and cursing me for saying that but I am afraid my fellow friends it's the truth. If you suffer from mega bad hay fever you'll get me. 

For me, there is nothing better than lighting candles, that smell like Autumn/Christmas, with some fairy lights on, all snuggled in my room watching movies and relaxing. Nothing beats layering your clothes, wearing a bobble hat and going for long walks in the woods - smelling the Autumn air and watching the amber, crisp leaves fall from the trees in the sunlight. 

Getting the image, come on you have to agree right?!

When it comes to fashion and what I wear, I never put too much thought into it. I tend to wear what I want and don't give a damn to what people think or whether it's too 'out there' for my small towns. I like it... I wear it, whether it's on trend or not. I don't follow fashions ever but what I do find a lot of the time - and not to blow my own trumpet, I find that I can be ahead of fashion and wear things just before they go on trend without even realising it.

For instance, the whole PVC look, I sported that a few years ago because it's 'my style' - I like to be a bit out there, push boundaries with my choice of clothing and mix it up. I started to wear my PVC trousers around a month or two back and then slowly but surely I started to hear that it is starting to be a hella trend this fall. I was already on trend before it was a trend. I love it when that happens. 

90% of the time I will wear dark clothes, mainly black - to match my soul ;) 

I just find monochrome items look so classy and strong. I have to be colour coordinated, I cannot stand when things don't match. I do love a bold print, a lot of rips, anything that is 'alternative' and lets be completely honest some may say fetish items. You know - the whole PVC thing. For me my clothes are a statement as is my hair and makeup. My image is an extension of my personality and creativity, to me is shows that I am a strong woman, independent, doesn't give a f**k about what people think or say, that I am an extrovert, I know myself and who I am, that I am bold, loud, quirky, one of a kind and hella creative. That's what I personally think, that's how it comes across, others may differ and be negative but their opinion doesn't matter. 

Below you are going to see some recent pictures I have taken that depicts my current style - my main style, how I shake things up and make it my own and it may even inspire you guys who are reading. 

If you are looking to change up your style or looking for inspiration to step out of your comfort zone then you have come to the right place. :) 

Everything I am wearing if from the high street and currently in the shops. A piece of advice from me to you is that own what you are wearing, own your style, don't let ANYBODY tell you that you can't wear something because it doesn't fit societies ideologies. You like it, WEAR IT. Be brave and be bold. 

Lets go... 

PVC 

I legit love a bit of PVC, for me it makes an outfit go from average to interesting and enigmatic. Trying to find a 'good' pair of PVC trousers/leggings can be hard to come by. I find that sometimes they can sit too low in the crotch area and doesn't move with your body contours. I recently invested in some more PVC trousers and on the off-chance found some perfect ones from H & M. I am in love with them. You can see them in the 3rd picture. If you are wanting to invest in this trend I do feel you get what you pay for a such. The ones from H & M are around £35. Team these with either an oversized tee and a leather jacket or with a chunky knitted jumper and you're sorted. 

Patent platform boots - £34.99 H & M 

Statement pieces

Okay, so if you don't think PVC is 'statement' enough, you cannot go wrong with a statement shirt, tee or jumper. The below is also from H & M and it's actually from the men's section. I ordered the same style in the jumper and t-shirt form. The tee was a bit too oversized for me and I found I loved the jumper more. It's this shiny, holographic material and I love things like this, that are different and that other people wouldn't generally wear. If you are anything like me and like to make a statement, this will be right up your street. This was around £29.99. 

Lace Up 

I am very 'alternative' in my style - I also like to be a rocker one day and then look like I am part of the ghetto the next, other times I just look homeless. Ha. I love lace up things and right now this has come back into fashion and I couldn't be happier. However you do need to be careful with lace up items as they aren't always very flattering. You don't want to look like a piece of pork with the string wrapped around you and if you have bigger thighs - like me, then you need to work out your placement if you're looking at purchasing lace up bottom half's. The lace up leggings are again from H & M - they are KILLING it at the moment. I was originally looking for jeans with a lace up front but I couldn't find any I liked - these were perfect. You can adjust the width of the lace up so I brought mine in, I didn't want too much flesh showing. I may also sew in some fabric behind the lace up as I feel it would look better. Either way this is another Autumn fashion staple right now. 

Leggings - £20 (mine are in XS) 

Geek glasses - £1 Primark 

Jumper - £6.99 H & M 

Knitted lace up jumper - £10 -£13 Primark

Thigh Highs & Sequins

I think for most Autumn/Winter fashion, over-the-knee and thigh high boots always make a come back. Generally, shoe wise for me I will wear either military boots or platforms. It's just how I roll. I love to team mainly leggings with thigh high boots as I feel it looks more classy but leather trousers also work. Recently I have been feeling sequin leggings with knitted jumpers and my new thigh highs and I think it looks so fashionable but is so effortless. I would stick to all black for this look or monochrome if you want to switch it up a bit. 

Thigh highs - £44.99 New Look 

Sequin Leggings - I got years ago.  

Denim Jacket

It's at the stage weather wise that it's getting colder but it's too warm to wear a hefty coat so for me a denim jack is on point. You can literally throw it on over anything and it looks so freakin cool. I have sewn patches onto mine to make it 'unique' to me and I love it. There are a lot in the sale at the moment as it would mainly come under 'Summer fashion' but for me I like to break the boundaries.  Team the jacket with a beanie and platforms and you're good to go. 

Jacket - £30 - £35 New Look 

Patches - Various from H & M and Ebay

Platforms £25 Truffle

Extreme Ripped Jeans, Fishnets and Quote Tees

I have been DIY-ing my own clothes for a while now. I have always been a ripped jeans kinda gal, it's ma thaaaanng. I was quite late to the whole fishnet and ripped jeans 'trend' but I don't like to follow trends so I would rather wear it after everyone else has wore them to death. Again, it's an 'alternative' look but definitely one you wouldn't really want to wear through to winter. Too many holes going on and I get hella cold. I do my own jeans and design my own slogan/saying/quote tees (if anyone is interested in them I can create your own bespoke piece). I love being able to say what you want through your clothes. I would say these are more transitional pieces. 

Underwear

Right now I am finding New Look's underwear right on point. They are killing it. It's like my personality in a bra. I recently found 2 bra's that I loved because they look super amazing. I think it's also important to look good under your clothes - underwear wise. The below are bang on trend and look awesome in my opinion. The 2nd bra is a major push-up and I love the caging detail. This I suppose does scream fetish slightly but who cares it's hot!!

Lace up bra - around £9.99 New Look 

Caged bra - £14.99 New Look

Rain Macs and Leather Jackets

Outerwear is obviously a must for this season as it's bound to rain at some point. When doesn't it. I do love the sound of the rain though, it really relaxes me, anybody else? 

As you have guessed, throughout this post it is apparent I like bold pieces. The below rain mac is no exception. This copper effect mac is just a 'mind blown' piece. I love it A LOT. I think if you're going to get a mac, go get a statement one. It's dull enough when it is raining so why not shine through the grey with a bright piece. It is very out there but so am I. Ha. 

Most people have a leather jacket as a 'staple'  piece these days but I like to shake it up with some sort of wording on it. Own it. I have another one from H & M which says 'The Darkness Inside' on the back and I love it. 

Copper Mac - around £40 New Look 

Leather Jacket - £70 Pull and Bear

Transitional Makeup

As you know, I am a makeup and photography fanatic, and the below look is me transitioning from Summer's brights going into the Autumn hues... Mixing in the bezza (berry - if you don't get my lingo) tones. 

So there you have it, the lowdown on what I have been buying, wearing and lusting over this season. Anyone can wear any of these items, just be brave enough, believe in yourself and do it.

 Unless you're my known stalker (see previous blog post) ... Then you can't because YOU CAN'T BE ME. :) 

I hope you enjoyed this post and it has perhaps given you some inspiration for your own wardrobe or it's put you off for life. Ha, but hey this is me and I feel I have captured that.

Beauty Blogger Tag | Get To Know What Makes This Face.

"Happy Monday"... Said no one ever! 

Ha, heeyyyyy guys. We meet again and it's another week gone by. Seriously though, how quick are these weeks and months going. It's my day of birth in what? 3 months. I seriously better get a job soon. I need to do some serious shopping then. Ha. 

It will be Christmas before too long and I for one cannot wait. Sorry to all you sun bunnies who live and dream for the hotter days but for me it is a long 7 months of face agony because of my hayfever.

Speaking of that, I have ANOTHER eye infection. I meant WTF! How?! It's seriously putting me off applying makeup now, I originally thought my eyes were burning and itching because I had been in fields with horses that I had found and thought the pollen had got to me. 

Nope.

Ha, yes I wanted to go outside, so I stole my brothers swimmings gogs and went outside to protect my peepers from the pollen.

Me being the worrier that I am thought ahead and got my doc to re-prescribe my antibiotic eye drops and mass cell eye drops "just in case", turns out I did need them. So I am back on those bad boys for 7 days now. My eyes are a mess, literally so sore. The funny... Well not funny thing, is that I was using a new L'Oreal eye pencil and I used it in my waterline and noticed as soon as I had applied it that my eyes were burning. I wiped it off. Next thing I know I have freaking pink eye again and he fleas with burning torches of flames returned to have a party in my eyes. 

Last week was a complete write off. 

This was nothing. This was before my eyes got worse and
a lot more puffy. 

Positive thinking for better things to come. :)

Right then, I have been nominated by the lovely, talented and beautiful Chanel of Chanelsbeautybible to take part in the 'Beauty Blogger Tag'. I don't actually think I have taken part in a tag like this before unless you include the 'Liebster Awards' post I did the other month? 

Anyway, I was excited to receive this tag via Twitter by Chanel because of course I love all things beauty related. 

It's a great thing these tags because you get to know a lot about how the blogger you're reading about ticks. 

I am pretty straight forward but ya know we all like to chat about ourselves now and then right?! :) 

Right, the important stuff. 

The Rules

. Tag the blogger who nominated you.

.Answer the questions you were given. 

.Nominate 3 beauty/fashion/lifestyle bloggers.

.Ask them 10 original questions.

. Let the guys know you have tagged them otherwise this won't work, duh.

So, here we go. These are my nominated questions and you lucky lot get to see my answers. 

Have fun. 

1. What is your favourite makeup brand?

A. This is such a hard question for me to answer as there are SO many that I could pick. I love brands such as NYX, Urban Decay, MAC, Maybelline, Rimmel and Sleek... But if I have to pick just one it would defiantly be Makeup Revolution fo'sure. I just LOVE their products, they are so affordable and their eyeshadow pallets are to die for. They are really great quality and so easy to work with. I am so glad I have found that brand. 

Look created with Makeup Revolutions 'Acid Brights' & 'Colour Chaos' pallet. 

2. If you could only use 3 makeup products for the rest of your life what would they be? 

A. Okay, again this is hard because there are so many things I need. Ha. I would 100% use concealer - Collection's Lasting Perfection in 'Fair' for my first choice. My Maybelline 24 Hour foundation in 010 'Ivory' and finally my Primark 'Nude' lip liner. 

The thing is all these would be fine to use for the rest of my life but then again I would sooo look like a boiled egg without my eyebrow pencil... I would sneak that in somehow but "shhhhh". 

3. How long does it take to do your makeup on a regular day? 

A. Now this depends on whether I am doing a no makeup - makeup look or whether I am going full throttle and doing a full face. 

If am going in hard I would say around an hour but if I am just being a plain Jane that day I would day fifteen mins to half an hour. 

4. Could you leave the house without makeup on?

A. Yes, I have done and will do again. This isn't to say that I felt totally comfortable with that decision because quite frankly I get a bit self concious. I will only do so if I am going to the docs, popping to the shop quickly or something like that. I tend to whack on my geek glasses when I have no makeup on. They hide half of my face. Ha. 

5. What is your all time favourite makeup product? 

A. Ahhh man these are hard to answer as I have a few. 

Hmmmmmmmmm.

I would actually have to pick two as they work together so really it's classed as one. Ha. I am such a cheater. :D 

I would pick my Primark 'Nude' lip liner and MAC's 'Honeylove' matte lipstick. This combo is literally my go to lip without a doubt most days. 

6. Do you remove your makeup when you get home or before bed?

A. It depends what kind of day I have had. If I am working, I will come home do all the bits and bobs I need to do and then I will take all of my makeup off. 

If it's a weekend I will take it off right before I go to sleep. 

I used to be sooo bad and sleep in my makeup and take it off the next morning. 

No. Big mistake. Never do that now. 

7. What is your worst beauty fall? 

A. I would say that my worst beauty fall is picking my spots and rubbing my eyes to an inch of their life when I have hayfever. 

I sometimes make the spots worse and they can scar if I am not careful and yeah my hayfever makes me rub my eyes and I have such bad dark circles because of it. I need more willpower. Ha.

8. Clothes Shopping or makeup shopping? 

A. I would say 60/40 - that being makeup shopping at the top of my list. I do love clothes shopping but I am really particular in what I am looking for in clothing and a lot of the time I cannot find it and it frustrates me until I end up making it myself. So for me makeup shopping wins as I get SO excited when I get new makeup to try out. I tend to hoard though because I like to get excited all over again in say a weeks time. 

Weirdo. 

9. Mascara or falsies? 

A. I don't really like falsies because they irritate me. I constantly know something is there but mascara does nothing to my lashes as they are so stubby and poker straight. Out of the two I would pick falsies as at least it would look like I have some. Lol. 

10. What do you love about blogging? 

A. I love a lot of things, I love the fact I can vent in my 'life' posts, write passionately about all the things I love, share my thoughts to the whole world, meet and chat to all the other lovely bloggers ( I feel like I have a lot of friends now) and it opens me up to some great opportunities that wouldn't of been there before. 

It's my little getaway from the real world. The blogging community is so supportive and positive it really is amazing, I love seeing my blog and social media grow and I love the fact so many people have the same passions as myself. I am able to project my personality and take a hella load of photos. 

Ladies and gents my 10 questions have been answered and I hope you liked my response. Great questions Chanel! 

Right my nominees are: 

Jade Mogan from Wingitwithjade

Charlene McElhinney from Charlenemcelhinney

Lizee Barry from Vanityfrills

1. How has blogging had a positive effect on you? 

2. What is your go to makeup product?

3. If you could recommend the best lipstick ever what would it be? 

4. Do you have a skincare routine? If so, what are your steps?

5. If you had to pick either eyelashes or eyebrows to live without which would you choose? 

6. What is your biggest beauty hangup? 

7. Do you have a special makeup tip that you use without fail? If so, what is it? 

8. What 3 products would you never buy again? 

9. What is your signature makeup look?

Liebster Awards | Blogger Nomination | Q & A

Picture: http://emilyrosevass.com/

Oh hi :) 

I hope y'all are well and enjoying all of your Easter eggs? (If you celebrate Easter that is) 

I had a small Rolo one off my rents ha ha but also £10 which was nice of them, so I went ahead and bought two sterling silver rings from ShopDixi (who do the most amazing jewellery ever). The rings were £25 each and I got them for £9.95 inc P and P. 

Freaking score.

Ooohh, I am currently working with Shopdixi so if you fancy 10% off your order quote LELUXDIXI at the till. You're welcome. 

Okay, so onto the post, I have been nominated by the lovely and beautiful Beth Chudley for the Liebster Blogger Awards. She is such an amazing person and has an awesome blog over @ Littlecapsulewardrobe . I have also been nominated by Robyn Samantha  today but I had already written this post, so thank you for nominating me also. You beautiful people. :) 

This is an award I have never heard of until I was nominated by Beth and it is such a good way to know the blogger you're investing your time in. 

It's an online award given to bloggers by bloggers which is super cool because it helps build relationships and invite others to check out what you're up to. 

We all love a bit of recognition, right? 

Of course. 

The main question is, how does this whole thing work? 

Once you have been nominated by myself or anyone else you need to do the following: 

. Thank the blogger who nominated you (politeness goes a long way).

. Answer the 11 questions that are set to you by the person who nominated you (provided at the end of the post).

.Share 11 random facts about yourself (that won't be hard for me. Ha.)

. And finally, nominate up to 11 other bloggers who you think 100% deserves the award and ask them 11 new questions of your own. 

It's time to get creative.

Beth asked me the following questions...

1. What made you want to start to blog?  

For me, I started it years ago when I watched that programme with Billie Piper in it, Belle De Jour? The working girl who started an anonymous blog. I found it interesting but it fizzled out. I then picked it up again at uni whilst doing my journalism course and carried it on fully when I was made redundant from my job. It's remained in my life and I love what I am doing. 

2. If you could have one superpower what would it be and why?

This is a hard one to answer because there is a lot I would like. I used to say I would love to read minds, but I think that would get confusing as hell with all those little voices in your head. So for me I think it would to control time, like Bernard's Watch - does anyone remember that programme? I could stop it, forward it, rewind time to avoid mistakes, look into the future. It would be amazing. 

3. What type of blog posts are your favourite to photograph? 

Ooohhh another hard question as I love taking pictures full stop. I think for me currently my favourite to photograph has got to be my makeup looks. I love to experiment and beauty is no exception. I love doing close ups and catching the 'mood' in a picture. Yeah, it's got to be that. 

4. Summer or Winter? 

I always used to say Summer is my favourite time of year as it's my birthday season and the sun makes everyone happy. This has changed slightly because I have now occurred hay fever over the last few years and it ruins my Spring/Summer. I have it from around March time up until Oct and I get it bad. I mean no one has got time for me snotting everywhere. Ha. So in the summer I have to stay indoors a lot. :( So for me I totally love winter for the simple fact my hay fever goes away and it's freaking CHRISTMAS TIME. :D 

5. What would your dream career be? 

Beth, these questions are hard. Ha. 

I am a performer deep down so I would like to say my dream career would to be a singer with a huge fan base and sold out concerts. That aside I would love to be a major blogger or working with animals. I have a lot of interests so I couldn't just pick one career as my 100% dream, if I had to pick one that slightly outweighed, it would be a performer.

6. What TV shows are you bingeing on at the moment/recently? 

 PLL (Pretty Little Liars) is a show I am addicted to although I no longer have Netflix as I am in between jobs at the moment, so I haven't caught the latest series. I am dying to though. I am also loving, F.R.I.E.N.D.S (which is a given for me, I know it all word for word), Gavin and Stacey (James Corden is da bomb), Eastenders, Hollyoaks, Supervet, Gogglebox and The Voice UK. 

7. If you had to give up crisps or chocolate which one would you choose? 

Ahhh mayyynnnnn, you cannot possibly ask me that!!! Ha. 

If I have something sweet like chocolate, I then have to have something savoury like crisps. Okay, I will have to say I would give up crisps because I could get savoury elsewhere to curb my cravings. Chocolate, not so much. You cannot take chocolate away from a hormonal woman, are you kidding me. There would be chaos. 

8. How do you find managing blogging and your everyday life? 

Right now, I am job searching (which I am fed up of) so I am managing just fine because I have the time I need to really put all the work/effort into it. When I do eventually get a job my blogging pattern will have to change. For example I will have to write posts over the weekend way in advance so I have the content ready to go for my post days of Monday and Thursday. It will all be about planning. I have done it before and I will do it again.  

9. What scares you the most about blogging? 

For me it would be failure. I am a perfectionist and I work hard at everything I do. The amount of effort I put into each post I do is unreal. It's not half hearted, if I do something I do it properly. It's hard to get the subscribers/followers now because blogging is so saturated, it's not a case of a small bunch of people anymore... We are talking millions. It's hard to get noticed as we are all doing the same thing.

10. What is your favourite way to relax at the weekend? 

I love to take pictures, experiment with my hair and makeup and again take pictures and edit those. I also love to take a bath, wash my hair, go in hard with my skin routine and chill in my room watching movies and eating junk. Ha. 

If I had a job I think my weekends would change slightly, in the day I would most probably go shopping and then maybe hit the town at night for a cheeky catch up with friends. 

Right now I am happy doing my thaaannng. 

11. What brands would you like to work with if you had the chance? 

Oh my goodness, there are so many. You ready?

ShopDixi, Cult Beauty, MUDA Beuty, Makeup Revolution, Feel Unique, Barry M, Urban Decay, Zoeva, Nanchy, Real Techniques, Sigma, Soap & Glory, MAC, Body Shop, Lush, Rimmel, Loreal, Smashbox, YSL, New Look, H & M, Eylure, Elegant Touch, Moroccan Oil, Primark, Garnier, Foxy Locks Extensions, Melt Cosmetics, Rodial Skincare, Kiko Cosmetics, Superdrug/Boots, Topshop, Boohoo, Da Silva London. There are far too many to list. Ha.
