Square Trend

Square Trend
Coats are an absolute MUST over Autumn and Winter, for obvious reasons, but it is no excuse to hide your amazing style so why not invest in a fabulous plaid number. The last seasons strict monochrome has finally left the runway and made way for a splash of colour. Zara- as always- have really impressed! The bottom right hand one is £145 the thing is you have to be tall to wear this one and unfortunately I am not. I have included a few accessories to complete a lovely British look. Daniel Wellington Watch £120, Zara Mini City bag £30 and Kurt Geiger "Bonjour" Boots £90.

Coats:
1.Left hand red plaid- £650 Burberry (one can dream)

Top right hand corner clockwise
2. ASOS red plaid vintage £65
3. ASOS Green and blue tartan tie coat was £70 NOW £49!!!
4. ASOS Longline coloured coat £176
5. ZARA Checked coat £139

Boudoir Lovin

Recently I had my bedroom back home decorated, Its a small little room so I didn't want it to look as cluttered as it usually does ( I'm a messy person) but still homely and feel lived in.

This website is brilliant for wallpaper that stands out. I had just one wall covered in this yellow floral paper. LOVE IT!


I found great cushions on http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk
for £20 to £40 each. These are great gifts aswell, there were plenty to choose from.


For my floor, I was fed up having a cream carpet which just got covered in make-up so we took the carpet up and varnished the floorboards! Very cheap and looks super homely. (2 or 3 coats of varnish required after sanding them down). 



Finally my mum found  a desk and wardrobe from a local charity shop. I've always preferred  pieces of furniture that are unique so these 1930's pieces are perfect and go really well with the rest of the room. 

Please excuse the mess you can see in the reflection, I told you I'm messy!

If I was stuck on a desert island, these are the products I would take (plus sun screen obviously). You can various brands of Argan Oil but if you buy from a good stockist like feelunique.com, you are sure to get a good kind like Fushi. It makes your hair shine- not look greasy! it keeps those pesky dead ends at bay aswell. I swear by this Bobbie Brown eye cream from John Lewis, your peepers will never look tired and dark again I promise. I only recently discovered this wonderful Lipblam from M&S thanks to my flatmate. Its so thick and stays on for hours leaving your lips feeling moisturised and not oily like alot of others do, a MUST buy girls. Clinque have always had  brilliant skin care products but the 3 step is fantastic. The ladies at the counter will test your skin so you'll find out which face wash and cleanser is best for you. The "Dramatically Different Moisturiser" really is what it says on the tin. Finally my favourite hand cream, Crabtree & Evelyn have loads of creams to choose so I usually change everytime, luckily they make a regular appearance in my stocking each year but you can order them online from www.crabtree-evelyn.co.uk. 


Have stocking up and looking B-E-A-UTIFUL.
