Tartan Love!

Dress: Boohoo, Belt: Topshop, Necklace: New Look, Boots: River Island

Last night was my works Christmas do! Unfortunately due to working until late at my other job my hair had to stay up for the evening! However, I don't think it was too bad being up :) I am loving the tartan trend at the moment, however, due to being a natural red head I try to steer away from red clothes, thus I opted for blue tartan. I decide to go full out with the punk trend with a blue smokey eye and spike necklace. To gain the effect of the blue smokey eye I used Mua cosmetics smokin palette and their pencil eye liner in blue, on my lashes I used Benefit's They're Real!

I loved the dress from Boohoo as it was a great length and a flattering style!

Hope you guys love Boohoo as much as I do! Great clothes and great service!

Monochrome Magic

Top: Topshop, Jeans: USC, Boots: River Island

So I haven't done an outfit post for a while, main reasons being I am constantly working and in the process of moving. Thus, unfortunately I haven't had much time to dress up in nice clothes worthy of blogging about. I fell in love with this monochrome top from Topshop, I just couldn't help myself when buying it. I don't usually wear tops that are as patterened as this but the monochrome really sold it for me as I also don't have a lot of that. It was raining last night hence the jeans, otherwise I would have paired this top with my trusty black bodycon (can never go wrong with something you know you can always wear). The boots from River Island are just beautiful! These were a definite investment buy as I know I will wear them time and again! I love the detailing on the shoes, it just adds something different to them.

My make up look for the night was an easy choice to make as many of you know I have a little obsession with purple, so I decided to use Mua cosmetics Smokin Palette and create a purple smokey eye, I think it worked quite well. I obviously didn't want a strong lip with such a bold eye, therefore, I chose my limited edition No 7 lipstick in Winter Berry.

Hope you all like it, love xx

Christmas Shopping!

Every year since I have been working in retail I have realised just how many people get stressed trying to find the "perfect" present. Why does it have to be perfect? For children I understand you do need to get the prrfect present, but I have found as I have come in to adulthood that I do not really want anything for Christmas but the goals I have set myself in life (those would be the perfect present, but only I can help myself reach them). Therefore, gifts that make people smile are the ones we should be looking out for :)

This year I have chosen not to stress about buying presents for people :) but finding something to make them smile (now that should be easy, it is Christmas after all!) My theory for buying presents is if I think someone will laugh at it or it makes me instantly think of one person well that year this is their gift :) it might not be the best plan, but hopefully it will be the happiest!

Love xx
