Me and My Old Blue Jeans


Shirt - Primark, Jeans - Topshop Shoes - Converse Rings - H&M, Topshop and Primark, Bag - Dorothy Perkins






I know the classic look is a white shirt with jeans, but I don't have one that's not sheer so I thought black would be a bit better for me and fit into my style a lot more. I really love this shirt; I think it's quite good quality. I did want it to be oversized but I had get it in a size 16 because the design is like, really small but it worked out well!

I paired it simply with converse and gold midi rings, as well as adding a tiny collar decoration with my Finnish snowflower necklace I got for my eighteenth, because I do have a Finnish family - which I know isn't very obvious, so it's actually a nice conversation starter. 

I think this is going to become one of my staple outfits as time goes on, it' so effortlessly classic and put together and yet its really casual, what's your go to outfit?

Summer into Winter


I bought this skirt in the mid season sale in Topshop, along with all the summer trends they had to get rid of to make way for autumn and winter. I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to pull it off in the colder months because of the long and few slits on the skirt, but because of the dark colours I found it surprisingly easy to style. I went with the black theme in the skirt to make the outfit even darker, and chucking on black tights, a leather jacket and chunky boots are really all you need to make the skirt wearable in the winter.

Kylie Jenner Lips


Everyone has been going crazy over Kylie Jenner lips lately and I have to agree, they are beautiful, and I know that bloggers have been going mad trying to find the exact lipstick she's wearing, and also to find high end and also budget friendly dupes to get her look. 

I think I've also found a really good budget friendly dupe and it is from none other than the Kate Moss collection for Rimmel London in the shade 08. I love that 90's inspired brown nude lips are everywhere at the minute and I really like that this lipstick has quite a mauvey tint to it, so it looks very 'my lips but better'. 



Have you found a dupe for Kylie's signature lips?

Casual Mondays







My fool proof Monday morning 'It's too early for work' outfit. It has everything I need to be comfy, practical and warm. (Besides the coat because I don't need a coat at work). I think pairing a casual jumper with a layered necklace is a great way to add an elegant touch to an outfit.

What's your foolproof Monday outfit?

Drugstore Gems: Maybelline Colour Tattoo's




I say this about everything but I have been so late on the bandwagon with these and I can't believe it took me this long to pick these up, but I've only just started getting into trying new things and seeing how they compare to others, and just see if they are worth the hype around them. 

I've been obsessing over the Groundwork paint pot by MAC but instead of splashing out on that I thought I'd try something similar, and when I saw Boots was having a promotion on Maybelline products, I thought I'd pick a few to try. I picked on and on bronze because I've heard that name all over the blogging and YouTube community, and I also picked the leather effect one in creamy beige because that looked the closest to Groundwork. 

After trying both of them I am so glad to say they are really amazing, I love these so much! Creamy beige is a little more shimmery than I'd hoped, it looked more matte in the packaging, but all in all I love these. They are so easy and simple to apply and I use these so often now. I use on and on bronze to go from day to night, and creamy beige is definitely my go to easy eye look.

I probably will still purchase Groundwork because I am still very much lusting over it, but these were great to tide me over until then!

REVIEW: The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter



I think it's safe to say that everyone finds removing makeup a real chore. In fact I dread to do my makeup sometimes - despite how much I love it - just because I don't want to bother with taking it off. I've tried many 'hyped' products and they all work so well with removing makeup, I just find that nothing does it fast enough for my liking. 

HOWEVER - I've wanted to try the Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter for a long time now, and I finally picked it up on their 30% off promotion and I am so glad I have found this. This is a dream when it comes to removing makeup. Not only does it remove it extremely well, it removes it in less than 5 minutes. WHICH IS AN ABSOLUTE DREAM. I find that removing bottom lash makeup really hard but this removes it without me needing to even try, and it leaves my skin feeling so soft. 

I would recommend this to anyone who hates to remove makeup and wants a simple but effective skincare routine!

The Faux Fur Gilet


I know it's not exactly classic to have coloured faux fur, but I couldn't pass this one up! It's incredibly soft and looks so much more fun that just a plain black one. (But don't get me wrong, a black one is definitely on my shopping list)! 

I love the look of this with an all black outfit, but I think it's a really versatile piece despite how loud it is and I have gotten so much wear out of this already!

This gilet is from Forever21 which at £24 it's so much cheaper than it's higher end high street counterpart, and they have so many different types stocked in there, as well as in other shops too, so they are really easy to get your hands on this autumn!
