One dress, two ways

Hi, I am a little obsessed with Missguided at the moment and also a little obsessed with this dress! 

First of all it's velvet... Say no more! 

Secondly I love how versatile and easy to wear it is. In the pictures above I've styled it very casual with over the knee socks (you could also double layer and add tights under the socks) and a thick coat and scarf. 

I feel it's a casual look whilst also making a bit of a statement with it being velvet and electric blue. 

Whilst this dress looks cute as a casual outfit, it also looks pretty damn cute for a night out! 

I've teamed it with my trusty river island boots and a slick of MAC 'up the amp' lipstick. 

This lipstick is another obsession of mine at the moment and I love the slightly clashing contrast of the colour of the lipstick and the blue of the dress.

What have you been obsessing over recently?

Wrapped Up

Hi!

Its been so miserable here in England the past week or so, as it hasn't stopped raining and its so cold! I am very much indeed looking forward to some warmer weather. 

Getting bored of my winter coats now so I pulled this khaki coat out of my wardrobe, which is very thin so I decided to layer it with (the also very thin) lace cardigan. I lived in this lace cardigan during the summer so it was nice to get some wear out of it even though its freeezing.

Looking back through these photos, I thought it had kind of a Free People vibe (maybe, I don't no, I wish) anyhow I really love Free People and if I could afford it I would have everything off of there website. If you are not aware of Free People you should definitely check them out. 

I'm also still obsessed with my Dr.Martens and I'm even thinking of getting another pair of the more traditional lace up ones.  

P.S Excuse the dirty old trainers in the back ground!

Hope you like the outfit xx

Bronzed smokey eye using just 3 products

Hey!!

I just wanted to show this smokey eye that is a staple look of mine. I'm definitely a smokey eye girl over any other look and I achieved this look by using just 3 products! 

Firstly I used shimmering copper eyeshadow all over my eyelid from the NARS Isolde palette. This is such a lovely warm colour and and blends perfectly. NARS eyeshadows are my absolute favourite, they have great shades and they last forever. 

After applying eyeshadow I lined my eyes with MACs power point eye pencil in 'duck' concentrating on flicking the line out slightly at the corner of my eyes to create a slight winged effect. 

I then took a blending brush and smudged out the liner to soften the line and create that smokey effect. 

After I was happy with the look I then applied lashings of the BOURJOIS volumiser mascara in ultra black. 

If you prefer a more intense smokey eye then you could always swap the brown liner for a black kohl liner. 

I apologise for my spotty chin guys, it's Christmas, I've been indulging and my chin clearly doesn't approve. Also I'm waiting for my eyebrows to be threaded so I'm aware they are looking a little crazy. 

What are your favourite make up looks? 

And what are your favourite products to create the look?
