Faux leather and velvet

So with Christmas just around the corner it's difficult to make sure that you have plenty of outfits for all your different occasions, I'm always SO worried I'm going to turn up somewhere and be in the same outfit as someone. It's literally one of my worst nightmares!!

Missguided is certainly one of my favourite sites for adorable on season trends however you can almost gaurentee you're going to spot someone in the same outfit if not extremely similar! I will be saving this one for when I'm with a small group of people so that the chances someone else will be wearing it are slimmer haha!

This deep v plunge bodysuit in velvet is certainly a eye grabber - it's backless and SO comfy. I'm completly in love with the dusty pink colour of it - I'm such a culprit of buying everything in black. 

This fake leather skirt is the perfect autumn colour we are all lusting over, the fact that it's a midi dress makes its more elegant however adding in that thigh high split has made it super sexy!

DS London mini sienna bag!

Oh how I do love a new little present, and I am certainly a handbag kind of girl, so opening this on Monday sure as hell made my morning! I'm pretty particular when it comes to handbags - I mean don't get me wrong I have handbags which are not leather but I certainly won't part a lot of cash for them and they're not my everyday go to bags. You can pick this mini sienna clutch up for just £39.99 yep you read that correctly £39.99!!!

DS London is a new accessorie brand run from a studio in London. Founder, designer and maker Jenni Davis has mastered something completely timeless and universal. DS London specialise in both luxury bags and holdalls for both women and men. All of their products are of an excellent quality, all individually hand made and extremely affordable. It's one thing to be based in Britain but they also source all of their leather, thread etc here too. For me personally, I always feel so much happier parting cash knowing the product is close to home. I LOVE knowing that my bag is handmade and completly unique. 

I mean this bag right here is 100% leather and arrived in the cutest dust bag with leather logo attached. When you have as many bags as I do, it's essential they're stored well away from dust/sunlight if you're not going to be using them daily. 

Jenni has kept all her bags extremely elegant and simple so that they can be completely timeless - none of these bags are going to "go out" of fashion, however they offer a completely bespoke service if you're looking to add some of your own design in there or for a loved one! 

“Our Collections are not mass produced. Each bag is delicately hand crafted in our studio with care and attention, with only the best making it to the shop. We only use the softest nappas, suedes and hides, alongside specialist equipment to construct our accessories. This enables us to be sure our products are of the highest standards. As each item is handmade, no two are the same. Each one slightly unique which only makes us love our products even more.” - Jenni Davis

The adorable little leather keyrings that range from just £6.99 - £15.00 are such lovely stocking fillers and I for sure already have plans on purchasing them way in advance of Christmas! 

I stumbled across this brand on Instagram and fell in love with them primarily because for you that know me, I'm addicted to stags! My house is full of stag accessories. I adore the logo Jenni has come up with and when I saw the price of something so beautiful and handmade I couldn't believe it! I completely adore the mink colour and they are now doing a made to order metallic which is perfect for your Christmas party this year!

The versatile blogger award

I've been nominated!!! So half way through my shift at work last night I had a quick ten minutes spare and being the addict I am I thought I would catch up on some blogs I follow. I picked up my phone to find that I had been nominated for the versatile blogger award by Rachele, I am extremely new to blogging and certainly still finding my feet so I was extremely flattered. Racheles wonderful blog can be found www.thehuntforfabulous.com and her Instagram @thehunt4fab she has the most adorable cats.

Here it goes..

Hello cheeky jeans!

So it's all about the ripped jeans right now, however if you fancy being cheeky (excuse the pun) and a little more daring how about these jeans?

They have rips both to the rear and knees and are sold as skinny jeans, I am pretty small but regardless I think these are more of a 'boyfriend' fit, the fraying to the ankles fits in perfectly. Granted these are not your typical go to every day jeans but matched with a crop top and some heels you will certainly be getting noticed on a night out! 

I've teamed them with a pair of missguided snake print open toed heels and every girl loves stealing their guys clothes, I'm surely not the only one? This speckled print top keeps the look a little more casual. 

What are your thoughts? I certainly won't be wearing these down the local pub!

Healthy protein porridge!

If you're anything like me then as soon as the weather becomes colder I'm all about snuggling up on the sofa under bundles of fluffy blankets and eating food... Yep, any food I can get my hands on! When it's dark and cold though it tends to be something warm... Pie and mash, hot chocolates, apple crumble - you know exactly what I'm talking about. So I figured for breakfast I needed to come up with a porridge which included some protein but also something fruity to satisfy my never ending sweet tooth! Here it is..

Boil kettle and add water to saucepan, throw in 30-50g of rolled oats and wait for water to adsorb. Then add in one-two tablespoons of low fat Greek yoghurt, a handful of chopped strawberries, and a squidge of honey! Finally I serve and finish mine with a sprinkling of cinnamon. 

I personally add a scoop of protein to mine however this is completely optional! 

Super sweet easy porridge - enjoy!

Missguided tux dress

Ive always wanted a tux dress and at £40 how could I have possibly said no to this little missguided number?

It's long sleeved, has two little pockets and gold button detailing. The collar is a soft silk. This is a size 4 and I do find it a little snug across the back but it fits well around the waist. I haven't worn this as a dress I've just been wearing it as a jacket which looks absolutely gorgeous, the gold detailing means I can carry it through to the evening. The only thing I would comment on is the fact I have the tiniest wrists you may ever see and this is a nightmare to try and get off, it's SO tight! 

My strappy wedges I have blogged about before are from next and are only £28! 

That's a whole outfit (besides bag) for £68! Not forgetting this isn't a dress you will buy and never wear again letting collect dust in your closet - you can wear it over and over as a jacket! 

Bourjios healthy mix foundation

My skin has started to break out recently and I've started worrying maybe it's my foundation, I've been using it forever but it's such a full coverage that it's just not necessary for every day use in my opinion. So I grabbed my purse and of I went on my way to boots to see if I could find something not only cheaper then what I currently use but also a little lighter but baring in mind I'm still after a good coverage....

Firstly I bought this bourjois foundation it was a steal at just £9.99! It is a medium coverage which is exactly what I was looking for, something I can wear every day and build up if necessary. Now let me tell you this product smells amazing! It feels so light weight and is easy to apply, it does require touch ups but as long as I use a setting powder I would say it stays fairly well. The main down fall is that I have dry skin around my nose and it truly highlighted that, if you don't have dry skin I think this is such a great alternative to a high end foundation!

I then bought the bourjois happy light concealer, it's a little compact and has a mirror which is great if you need to touch up. I find this hides blemishes really well, I apply over it over my foundation as it seems to work best this way, ive tried using it under my eyes and although it covers dark circles well I find it looks a little cakey however it's pretty good as an eyeshadow primer. I would certainly purchase this again to hide any pimples and it was only £8.99!
