OOTD - Faux leather skirt

Top - Primark// Skirt - Primark// Scarf - Primark// Shoes - Primark// Necklace - Ebay// Bag - Guess

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a lovely weekend,i don't know about you but last week flew by! Its my third week back at uni already and i'm exhausted already,i hope i'm not the only one!

This is a very Primark heavy outfit haha. I wore this outfit to uni but i also think it would be a great look for work/interviews.I featured this skirt and top in my latest haul and i think they go together so well! I love the contrasting textures of the top and the skirt and they were so cheap as well! Primark really do have some great items for A/W at the moment, i think why pay more for the exact same in places like topshop.

When i'm wearing cheaper items i always like to wear/carry something a little bit more expensive which is my bag on this occasion! I got this from Guess last year and its perfect for carrying all my uni books in, as you can see i really cant get enough of the monochromatic colours, they are so versatile and go with everything!

What do you think of this outfit? Are you loving primarks A/W trends this year?

A/W Nails

Autumn is well and truly here now, so I thought it was about time i put my favourite neon shades to the back of the box (sob) and get some new varnishes more suited to this time of the year! 

I was lucky enough to receive a lovely No7 box of these 5 shades for my birthday which i think pretty much sum up autumn colours for me. No7 is a brand which i know many people probably don't associate with nail varnishes, i always go straight for Models Own,Barry M, Essie etc. So i was so happy to try out some of their colours and they are really well lasting.These all needed 2 coats each and the glittery colours are actually all top coats but i love anything sparkly and like to go the whole hog with the colour,it would also look as a top coat though on colours like white and black and these glittery colours really are such a season appropriate colour. I also love Temptress which is a deep rick berry colour and Beanie which is a mushroom colour,both are perfect darker colours for autumn which i will be getting a lot of wear out of!

I also received my first essie polish for my birthday eek! Cobalt blue is a colour which is still very much in this season,it is such a dark sheer colour which i really am in love with. I would say that it is probably one of my favourite colours that i picked out for my selection. It is by far the best quality polish i have used so far, my nail colour usually chips off so easily but while wearing this the colour it lasted for days and only two coats were applied. 

Lastly, another shade i got for my birthday (aren't i lucky!) is a gorgeous shimmery gold which is a colour i have been after for ages! I love the easy application of the fan effect bourjois polishes and you cant see so well in the picture but the colour is very metallic and has shimmery glitters running throughout it,this will definitely be the colour for the upcoming party seasons!

What do you think of my A/W nail varnish picks? What are your favourites?

OOTN// 21st Birthday outfit

Dress - ScalaUSA// Heels - Primark

This is a quick post today but I thought i would share with you all what i wore on my 21st. I actually originally wore this dress for my 18th and have managed to wear it another 3 times since which i am so pleased with as it did set me back around £275 :o But this dress really is a timeless classic and can be pulled out and worn again and again for suitable events/parties. I always get so many people complimenting and asking were it is from when i go out and it really does make me feel like a million dollars when i wear it! The sequins and beads have all individually been hand stitched and you can really tell with the quality of it as i have had next to none of the sequins fall off. You can see what other dresses ScalaUSA sell here. The style of this one to search is N1006 Lead if you are interested. As this dress is so expensive if i was to purchase another i would definitely opt to hire one out instead, i have recently discovered Wish Want Wear which offer lots of different designer dresses which you can hire out for a special occasion for a fraction of the price, you really do get the best of both worlds and will definitely be using them in the future.

I also paired this with my favourite heels from primark! I love the monochrome colours which go so well with the sparkles, i love sandals like these but gosh don't they make my feet hurt after a while!

What do you think of this outfit? Have you used Wish want wear before?

Review | Mac Hue

While i was in duty free recently i was lucky enough to pop into Mac at 4am, its never too early for shopping! I have just finished my Shy girl lipstick which was such a nice peachy nude colour, however i wanted to try a new nude colour and had seen lots of posts about Hue which is described as a nude colour with hints of pink. I personally think £15 is extortionate for a lipstick but at £12.50 i couldn't go wrong.

I have only ever had lipsticks from Macs cremesheen and matte collection so i was interested to see what their glaze finish was like. Firstly, the colour is beautiful when applied, it is a nude colour but with the softest hint of pale pink which stands out more than the Mac shy girl, I also prefer the pink hint to it. 

The glaze finish is described as having a very sheer colour and a glossy finish, well it is very moisturising and creamy to apply but I feel it doesn't provide as much moisture as the crème sheen finishes do. As for the colour pay off I felt you needed to build the colour up a fair bit but when its applied I thought that the staying power of this lipstick was very good although the gloss does tend to fade after a couple of hours, which is expected from glaze finish lipsticks but its great for just that touch of colour. Overall, I am in love with the colour and I am so glad I picked it out!

For me Mac really can do no wrong with lipsticks and if I had the money I would try every colour there is! If you're looking for a nude colour with an edge to it then this is your colour!

What do you think of this colour? What Mac lipsticks are your favourite?
