High Street Fashion Inspiration #5

Topshop

   

I am dreaming of Summer right now, I know its a long time off yet, but agh the thought of it is getting me through this horrible, freezing, crappy weather that we are experiencing. I love the combination above of the pastel colour and black and white skirt. The short, tight skirt will look lovely in the summer with the crop-top. However, this skirt could also be worn now with over the knee boots and black tights.  

Christmas Gift Guide: For Him

As promised, here is the next instalment of my Christmas gift guide series. Girls, I know that you know how difficult shopping for men is! So, i've put together this little guide with some different bits and bobs for all the different men in your life so hopefully it will give you some inspiration and help.

Bobble Beanie, £18. 

Hats & scarves are the perfect accessory to buy your boyfriend, brother or best friend this Christmas, the cold weather normally lasts a few months after Christmas here in the UK so this will definitely be a welcomed present and come in handy, plus making them look good too! Win, win. 

Christmas Jumper, £25.50 

Everybody loves a good ol' Christmas jumper! My boyfriend has got a really cute one with snowman's on and I think it's adorable. Jumpers are a perfect pressie this time of year as it is obviously a lot chillier than normal. This jumper I have chose is quite subtle, and not too in your face Christmassy, so you can wear it throughout the winter season not just to Christmas events and on Christmas day which is perfect as you get more wear out of it, and more value for money.

iPad Case, £34.50.

An iPad (or any other tablet) case is a good gift as they protect the iPad if you drop it, protect it against spillages in your bag, as well as making it look better. This jack wills one is quite a pricey purchase but you can get cheaper ones out there. 

Ralph Lauren Gift Set, £36. 

I absolutely love the Ralph Lauren fragrances, they smell amazing. I've bought my boyfriend these fragrances in the past and he loved it too. In this set you get different fragrances in one set so you're dad, brother, friend or whoever can decide themselves which one they like the most to repurchase. 

Ted Baker Wallet, £50. 

Wallets are a must for every man, and buying the man in your life a good quality one will be a treasurable gift. This one from Ted Baker is lovely, with its leather detailing and different compartments. 

Armani Watch, £199

This is for those of you who want to spend a little more on somebody this year. Watches are a really nice, classic present. There are so many out there, plenty to choose from.  

Experience days.

There are so many to choose from and all at different price ranges, perfect for an adrenaline junkie. Or there is tours of places like wimbledon, perfect if your fella is a fan of tennis. Im sure you can find something perfect for the guy your buying for! 

Good luck!! 

High Street Fashion Inspiration #4

River Island

The burgendy colour of the dress is great for this time of year, adding a real autumnal and christmassy feel to your wardrobe. Everybody needs a favourite winter coat, and this one is beautiful, the faux fur collar is optional and can be taken off depending on what look you are going for. Grey suede boots are big this season and look perfect in this combination. Add a necklace and some black patterned tights and the look will be complete and take you through the winter! 

High Street Fashion Inspiration #3

H&M 

This look is so so simple and easy, and it's for one of those days that you can't really be bothered! An early morning start, a hungover day or a general lazy day, this look is perfect. The autumnal colour of the jeans will keep you on season, and the polo neck of the jumper will keep you on trend. You can add any shoes, it would look nice with boots, converse or dolly shoes, the choice is yours. Then if it's freezing you could throw on a leather jacket over the jumper and you're good to go! H&M have some really good stuff this season, especially really basic every day clothes, and its not too pricey either, meaning you can look better, for less. Win, win. 

High Street Fashion Inspiration #1

New Look 

AW14 shows summer colours are here to stay, still dominating the high street are the summery, pastel colours that remind us of our jollies. This makes autumn/winter fashion even more exciting as it adds another dimension into the mix, giving more choice and more options when layering outfits up. 

This look above is smart casual, and could be worn in the day for work and then kept on for drinks in the evening. 

Add a leather jacket, some black tights, accessories and a floppy hat and you're all set. 

Halloween Make-Up !

Here are a selection of creative make-up ideas and inspiration for you this halloween, thank-you to my beautiful bestie Alex Devers for helping create most of the looks pictured below and for the photography! 

All you're going to need to do these looks is some black, white & red face paint, a face paint brush (which we didn't have so used an old foundation brush), some black pencil & liquid eye-liner, brown pencil eyeliner and nude/brown shades of eye-shadow, black mascara, your favourite dark lipstick and your favourite bright lipstick (you can be creative here, we went with a extremely bright pink lip for one of the looks). All of these looks were done spontaneously with what we had available so don't go out spending lots of money! Just go with what you've got and make it work for you, add glitter if you're going to a party, and any accessories you want to complete the look.
