Keep Warm and Snuggle Up! - Outfit Post.

When my mum see's this she's going to kill me! The main feature of this outfit that I wanted to show off was the scarf/hood thing my mum bought me for Xmas. 

I chose it and I just happened to be home when it came in the post sooo I whipped out the cam for a quick outfit post with it before the 25th!

Fairisle Pom-Pom Scarf with Hood - ASOS
This was supposed to be £25 but I got it for £20, pricey BUT it is a present and I will wear it to death!

Love/Hate Jumper - Topshop
Shorts - Primark
Thigh-High Socks - ASOS

I actually made this necklace myself using bits of old necklaces when I was about 16, it's still a firm favourite!

With the hood up, perfect for my NY trip ;)

What Winter essential are you rocking right now or getting for Christmas? 

Seeing as it's still freezing cold I hope you are all keeping warm this weekend!

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick - review.

Sometimes the Rimmel website has awesome promotions on where you can win one of 8,000 full size samples of new products. I've actually had a few and here is one I got through of their new Lasting Finish lipsticks:

The colour I got was 014 - 'Sweetie'. With things like lipsticks you can actually chose which colour you win so I chose this pinky one. The face of the campaign is Zooey Deschanel and I saw this on her and loved it. (EDIT: She actually wears Heartbreaker BUT she's a Goddess either way).

It's a red/pink with glittery bits in. It looks quite sheer here but goes on darker.

You can see the glitter here, it's not hard and you can't feel it so it's definitely a lovely glitzy add-on.

I already use a Rimmel lipstick in 'Alert' it's definitely my go-to lipstick as it goes on quick and smooth with no fussy packaging.
Plus it smells like cherries! AMAZING!

What new lippy's have you used recently?

A Bizarre Christmas.

I've said it once and I'll say it again (like right now) I love handmade! I enjoy originality and uniqueness, my favourite way is through accessories and jewellery they make outfits complete and even if you are wearing a dress everyone else has you can turn the outfit into your own.

Christmas is around the corner for those who celebrate it and I've found some awesome Christmassy handmade jewellery at Raffles Bizarre:

Christmas Tree Brooch - £4.00
So cute I love the little pearl detail!

Gingerbread Man Necklace - £4.00
One, two three everybody...AWW!!

Gold Star Earrings - £2.00

Silver Snowflake Earrings - £3.00
Now I can't wear earrings (well I can wear 1) 'cus I have huge goff holes 'cus I'm a giant greeb BUT these are soo cute!

Santa, Deer, Snowman Tree Decorations - £6.00
Awesome wooden decs, haven't really seen anybody else doing these it's a brilliant idea!

The gorgeous Jess from Raffles Bizarre told me that she started it up back in 2007 as a hobby and approach making jewellery in very creative and experimental ways such as using burnt vinyl and cds's to create individual pieces.

I will do another post in the new year showing you some of the other things, I'm totally in love with 'Circus' range probably as a hangover from the Britney Spears 2009 tour :P

Hope you're all ok and surviving this cold snap!!

Models Own/WAH Nails Art Pen: Leopard Nails.

There are so many good blogs out there right now who also own this nail art pen, made by Models Own in association with WAH Nails. We've all seen them those beautiful creations, well now you can try and do your own!

Now I'm not skilled in the nail department but I needed this, so I picked it up on the Models own website (Free Kohl eyeliner too with your first purchase) and gave it a go with a leopard design: 

It's £6, it comes with a brush and a pen like tip. I used the brush 'cus the pen bit kept coming out too fast.

Please excuse the pinkie nail which looks like I sneezed.

I used: 17 in Pink Grapefruit
Barry M in Pale Blue
Models Own Nail Pen in Black

These are only staying like this for one day as I have some new nail goodies I want to try out this weekend too!
Hope you all are having a good one!

Christmas (Glitter)Ball - Outfit Post.

A little lack of blogging this week, apologies, but it's that time of year, I'm working full hours 5/6 days a week now! 

This weekend I am off to a Christmas meal and ball with my dad (and many others) so of course I needed an outfit! I was going to buy a new dress but during a wardrobe clear-out last week I found a dress I've never worn before. It's puffy, it's glittery and it's perfect for hiding a full tum:

I bought this dress from a stall in Camden about a year ago for £40.

Necklace from River Island bought by my mum last Xmas.

You can see the sparkle, it is kinda all over but it's subtle and not tacky.
I also added pearls and curled my hair so a more 'quaint' look. 

Nude Bow Heels - Primark £11
Can you see my goosebumps - so cold will have to wear nude tights!

 So that's my outfit! I'll probably just sling on a leather jacket to keep warm getting in and out of taxis.

Are you off to any special Festive Do's? If so what are you wearing?

Oh an one more special thing, today is the Queen of pop's 29th Birthday:
