BONIFIRE NIGHT

Hi guys!

So obviously everyone in the UK knows November 5th means one thing. Bonfire night; Wooly jumpers, hats and scarfs and freezing your but off to watch some beautiful fireworks.

I thought I would just share some of the images I caught and also share my bonfire night outfit choice. I went for some Slit Knee (brightest idea???), Joni jeans from Topshop in the Dark Blue and a oversized jumper from Primark. The jumper is so warm and cosy and is a medium Grey colour with really cute White hearts on it. I also wore a Black, Topshop Parka with suited the outfit nicely. I paired this with a Primark scarf that is huge and double sided. On one side it is dark Red and Blue Tartan and on the other side a Black and Red check pattern. Perfect for the cold winter nights and a Mickey Mouse knitted hat. Im am not entirely sure where this is from because my mum bought it for me because Beyonce has it.... Thanks mum! On my feet I wore some Topshop biker styled boots that have a fur lining to keep my feet warm.

Overall, I would say Halloween/Bonfire Night is the best part of the year. Watching fireworks with your best friends is one of the best things in the world! - cliche much?

MY AUTUMN // WINTER OUTFIT ESSENTIALS

Although Autumn is pretty much over now, I though I would talk you through my Autumn//Winter essentials. The items I am going to talk about I pretty much survive on in a day-to-day basis.

|| BLANKET CAPE ||

Blanket Capes are the thing to have in your wardrobe this year. They are the big trend at the moment and I am totally loving them. I find its not to hot to go out with a small jacket yet not absolutely freezing that you need a massive coat, scarf and gloves shebang. So I personally find the Blanket cape absolutely perfect! Its cosy and keeps you warm as well as making you look amazingly chic and very on trend. My Blanket cape is from Topshop and was about £30.

|| ANKLE BOOTS ||

Another bang on trend item for this Winter is the Ankle Boot. Whether you choose to go for a Higher Heel boot or a Lower Heeled boot they are the perfect winter look. I preferably go for a chunky lower heel simply because I find them more comfortable to wear. My ankle boots are actually from River Island and are so beautiful and comfortable (because they are lined with fur arghhhhh *gasps*) for the upcoming winter season and I would definitely recommend them.

|| BARRY M NAIL POLISH ||

Barry M have perfected the perfect Autumnal colours this year. I am in awe of their Paprika and Mustard Gelly Hi Shine colours. They are absolutely perfect for this season and I can't say much more about it. These were £3.99 each. 

|| SMALL SHOULDER BAG ||

I have become a lover of a small shoulder bag and Primark seem to have the best range in this year. I am in adoration of the bag you can see above. It is so perfect and is beautifully lined on the inside as well. It has a long shoulder strap that works well across body also. It is beautifully embossed with what I make out to be a Indian Tribal style pattern. The lining inside is a beautiful paisley pattern with amazing Autumnal colours.  I think that cost around £9.

|| BOLD LIPS ||

I love Autumn//Winter so much because it is the time where darker lips are in. I am not really a fan of barbie pink lips and would always go for a statement red, therefor this season is my season. Dark Reds and Purples are my idea of heaven. I have so much love for dark colours and a one I am loving which I have pulled out from last winter is Topshop's 'Trigger". It is a beautiful dark red with brown undertones through it to cast off that beautiful winter look. The shade would suit anyone's complexion. 

|| FINISHING TOUCHES ||

To finish off the look I added a Topshop necklace with some Black, Joni Jeans and a Primark overside, Boyfriend T-shirt. With a squirt of Black XS by Paco Rabanne.

I hope you enjoyed reading my Autumn // Winter Outfit Essentials, check out my Instagram and Twitter for more updates. -L

BABY, I LOVE YOU

Hey guys!

So I thought I would quickly update you with a couple of things I have been loving at the moment, since my last blogpost was quite a while ago. 

The first thing I have been loving is a really strange thing to love but I simply adore it. I recently purchased a small Marc by Marc Jacobs coin purse and it is the cutest and most adorable thing I own. I am in such adoration of it, literally mesmerised by it... For something so small, it makes me a whole lotta happy. I just keep my money and a few of my cards in this and it is a perfect size!

Boots recently had a 3 for 2 on L'oreal makeup and I ended up getting 3 of the Color Riche exclusive collection. I got two of the nudes; which were JLo's and Eva's and a red one by Blake (hottie). These literally are some of the nicest lipsticks I have ever tried, oh myy god! Soo good! I am super in love with the Blake one! The colour is perfect and I just love them all so much! I think these were about £8 each. 

Another beauty type product I have been loving is the Barry M nail paint in Berry Cosmo! I recently have just grown of the phase where I put nail varnish on, then pick it off with in the next 2 hours (fingers crossed I last) and this nail varnish is a one I am loving on my nails at the moment. It is such as nice dark wintery colour (winter is upon us, so it's all good) and I adore it! This was £2.99 I think.

 

As everyone (in the world) pretty much knows that Zoe Sugg aka Zoella recently brought out her own beauty range and omg I love everything so much! I actually bought both of the makeup bags, the body mist and the Shower Gel // Bubble Bath and Fizz Bar and they are the prettiest and nicest things I have every smelt! I have no words. I am currently using the Guinea Pig makeup bag as a pencil case that is holding all of my pro-markers and pens and shizzle for college and the eye on is holding my everyday makeup. I love love love....

SNOW FAIRY IS BACK.... and it is the first time I have ever actually managed to get a my hands on a bottle and I am yet to use it but I just though I would put this in there because oh my god, It smells absolutely amazing!!

Lately I have heard alot about Emma Hardie's Amazing Face Cleansing Balm and I jumped on the bandwagon and purchased a an Emma Hardie starter set that included a 50ml Cleansing Balm, Muslin Cloth and Face Moisturisor. I do not have one regret for buy this, It is simply the best thing I have ever put on my face. If you are looking for something that you can use on sensitive skin, its fabulous and great for hydration, especially during winter time.

This is such a random thing to put in here but YO to the LO I am doing it anyways. I GOT A SIGNED DEMI LOVATO CD. I BLOODY LOVE IT. I have never met her or anything and I feel this is the closest I have been to her (other than being in the same country for a short period of time). This has just been released and iss uhhhmaazzing! Do buy it on iTunes.. #reallydontcare 

It's starting to get really chilly outside, so I went to primark and bought the cutest mittens you could ever imagine. TAA DAA, GINGER BREADMEN, £2. That is all I am saying.



The last thing I have been really loving is my sketchers. I never actually thought I would own a pair of sketchers, but I now do and omg they are the most comfiest things ever. Wow. Normally I wouldn't go for pink or leopard print but there was just something about these that I just had to have then. Love, love, love...

I hoped you enjoyed reading this,, sorry for the crappy lighting in the pictures, please note I am doing this blog post at 10.30pm. Please follow me on twitter (laurynloganx) and instagram (laurynloganx) etc...

WHAT'S IN MY BAG - UPDATED

Hi guys! I thought I would update you with 'whats in my bag' since its been about a year since I last posted a 'whats in my bag' so...

My bag is actually from Primark and I got it about a month and a half ago, because although I have a load of bags, the Marc B one I was using had broke (zip) and I really wanted this one because it's very similar to the Zara City Girl Office Bag (or whatever the name of it is) and it's black. It has a 3 compartments, the main bag area then on either side to quite spacious zip compartments, which is very handy..

 Okay, so the first thing I pulled out my bag was my purse, obviously I always carry this with me because yours going to need money everywhere you go, so that's that. My purse is from Topshop and was £22 I think and I absolutely adore it and use it all the time and I actually need to stitch it because the inside stitching has worn away but yeah it is my favourite thing in my bag.

 I thought I would just add a quick picture of my bank card because it is so cute with my picture of me and some friends whilst in Disneyland Paris and just how cute?!

The next thing I pulled out was my umbrella from H&M, I have just recently started carrying this all the time because I live in the UK and the weather is so unpredictable and to be honest, it rains everyday and I would forget to pick my brolly up on a morning and get soaked when the rain came. So now it just keep it in there all the time.

Make-up bag is an essential because through out the day I will top up my make up or put some lip balm on and its just easier to keep everything together in a little bag than the have it all over in your bag! My makeup bag is also from H&M and was £4.99.

Batise, Impulse body spray, hair grips and a pen, pretty much everything a girl would have in her bag. Self explanatory really..

 I also always carry my Tangle Teezer because my hair goes really tatty in the wind so I can give it a quick brush if I need to. I also currently am carrying the book I am reading at the moment which I love and you should definitely check it out!

My charger is also something I carry with me everywhere because I am constantly on my phone listening to music or playing the Kim Kardashian game, so I need my battery to last for the day I am out and if not I can pit stop in Starbucks and recharge in there. I also had a Lipton Peach Ice Tea in my bag today because it was on special in a shop in town so I grabbed two of those but drank one already.. FACT: I don't actually like Tea but I do like this....

From the little pockets in side of my bag I pulled my Bus pass which gets me everywhere I go, a 10 pence which was change from my bus ticket, a Topshop Lipstick to remind me to top up my lippy and my housekey's which have a lot of disney key rings on. 

From the first large side compartment I have a beautiful note book. I always carry this really cute little notebook around with me incase I ever need to jot anything down or I can write ideas I have for blogpost's or fashion inspiration and its the cutest thing ever. I got this from Home Sense and I think it was £6.99 but its a leather notebook and has little bells on the the string ties on the side.

And from the other side compartment I have CV's which I tend to carry with me because I am desperately looking for a job and the only way to get a job is handing your CV out everywhere you go. I also have a pair of sunglasses just in case the sun does ever come out (rarely) and I don't want to be blinded by it. The pair I have in my bag are just from primark but they are beautiful and I love them so that makes me happy, I also got the case from primark just to protect them but all together I dont think I paid more than £5 for the glasses and the case, so it was a bargain.

That is every thing that I have in my bag apart from some crumbs and stuff but yeah...
