THE BLACK BOOT

Boots - New Look

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to share my new go-to black boots for this winter! These are from New Look; they are chunky, and have a bit of detail by the zip at the side. These are perfect for my sort of style, and will go with everything I wear, I have worn them on nights-out and in the day. I think New Look have got a great selection of winter boots in currently, and they are all extremely affordable, so I would highly recommend you go and check them out! Next post will be my go-to brown boots (which are BEAUTIFUL), so make sure you keep an eye out!

SOUTHAMPTON CELEBRATIONS

Co-ord - H&M

Shoes - New Look

This weekend I went to Southampton to celebrate one of my good friends birthday! She is also a blogger check here out here! I bought this co-ord a while ago after I saw it in a magazine, but I think it is still in stores. We went to Oceana, which was good although there were only two rooms open, which I thought was strange for a Saturday night! I loved spending time with my girls, as we never meet up as much as some of us are at Uni! 

What did you get unto this weekend?

NIGHT OUT OUT

Crop Top - H&M

Skirt - H&M

Boots - New Look (I know you can't see them, will post about them soon)

Tiny post just to show you what I wore when I went out last week. I wasn't on a social so I could wear normal clothing which was nice to dress up! This is a sheer(ish) crop top, so I make sure I wear a black bra underneath it, and this is the leather skirt that I have shown in a recent post! I believe both items you can still get in store. I have finally persuaded my housemate to learn how to french plait, which I think looks super cute, plus in a sweaty club it's a bonus to have it up and away from your face. The make up I wore was all from the original naked pallet, and I went for darkish lips (quite hard to see in this pic). 

I really want a dark lip colour to wear on nights out, so if you have any recommendations let me know!?

A DAY IN LONDON WITH EMMA AND MELISSA

Necklace - Zara

Top - ASOS

Cardigan - H&M

Trousers - Debenhams

Boots - Topshop

Last weekend myself, and two of my best friends (Melissa and Emma) went to London. We were mainly going to visit the London Dungeons, as Melissa had free tickets, but we also went on the London Eye, and out for dinner to Wahaca. 

The touristy things were fun to do, Melissa got picked on basically the whole way around the dungeons which just made it hilarious! If you haven't been and eaten at Wahaca then I HIGHLY recommend going. The food is just an amazing mexican goodness! haha. You pick around 3 dishes per person, and all of our were so delicious. 

The weather was awful, but then turned out quite nice, which made it difficult for me to choose what to wear. These are some new trousers that I bought in the recent Debenhams Mega-week, so I thought were reasonably priced. I also can't get enough of these trusty cutout boots!

Hope you have a lovely weekend!

SUNDAY'S ARE FOR ROASTS

 Top - New Look

Necklace - Primark

Skirt - Topshop

Pumps - Primark

When Dan was down visiting we went and had a good ol' sunday roast. One of the main things I miss living away from home is a roast! We went to Gunwharf Keys and there is a pub there which did a delicious roast! 

As I said in my previous post, it is coming to the end of summer so all weekend I spent wearing skirts without tights as I won't be able to very soon! The skirt I have posted a couple of times previously, but I love it. The top is such a lovely colour (stolen from my housemate). The shoes are a new purchase from primark, only £4! SO cheap! And I love the snakeskin design.

What do you like to do with your Sunday's?

LATEST BEAUTY PURCHASES

Maybelline - The Colossal Go Extreme Volume Mascara

I have been using the YSL mascara, but it has been running out so needed another one to replace it. I didn't have enough money to afford that one so I really needed a cheap alternative. I was doing a bit of research on cheaper mascaras and I saw Fleur DeForce did a video of her top 10 under £10, which I found really helpful. After using the mascara for about two weeks I would highly recommend it! The consistency is quite thick, it helps with volume and length, and it is the perfect type of mascara that I like. 

Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer

This wasn't something that I was going out to buy, but Rimmel had an offer of buying 2 items for £10 so I thought I would try. I'm not totally sure on this, maybe because I've never really used a proper 'primer', but I will hopefully have more of an opinion when I try it for a little longer. I'm interested to see if using this primer helps the foundation stay on longer, because I haven't used the foundation without this yet.

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

I have been using a Laura Mercier foundation for about 6-9 months now and I have absolutely loved it. It is pretty full coverage, and that is just what I wanted, so when I started running out I knew it was going to be quite difficult to find something I love just as much. Another one of Fleur's videos is her top 10 foundations under £10, which, once again, I felt was very informative and so I went for this one! I like medium to full coverage (or as close to), and this was the one I chose. I have quite liked it so far as an everyday foundation (I am keeping the last bit of my Laura Mercier one for my nights out). The staying power isn't too bad, not as long as I am used to but it is so cheap that I think it's totally worth it. 

Link to Fleurs channel here if you want to watch the video's. The foundation one was most recent, but I think she's done bronzers, skincare etcetc. 

Any recommendations for 'high street' makeup? I'm now back at University and my budget is tight!

SWEATER AND SKIRT

Jumper - Topshop (last year)

Skirt - H&M

Rucksack - Topshop

Converse

This weekend myself and Dan went to East Wittering beach for a walk, and then went into Chichester town and this is what I decided to wear! It feels like it is definitely getting into the end of the summer so I wanted to wear a skirt without tights as I knew it would be one of my last chances! This skirt I picked up from H&M a while ago, although it is still in store. It is faux leather, but has a quilted look to it. There are also zips for fake pockets, but you can't see them in this photo. I initially bought it to wear on nights out, but this proves that you can make anything day-wear with a sweatshirt and some converse! 

What you been up to this weekend?
