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

Rimmel London Apocalips Review

Aloha,

A day late, but better than never. I did say I would try and do a blog post yesterday but it turned out I had a busy day. And then today, we had a christmas party at my dads and there was a lot of people and screaming children and just oh, overheating in my christmas jumper! So, I am only now getting around to writing this. (Whilst watching X-men: First Class -Jennifer Lawrence (perfection) wow)

I bought the Apocolips a few weeks ago just to try it out and for something different. Although its christmas time, I bought it in '400 Big Bang' which is a bright red. Normally for winter I would wear a dark lipstick, like a plum. But red is a christmas related colour so, who cares.

The liquid lipstick, last's for such a long time but I also find that it kind of stains your lips. Therefor, if I don't apply it correctly the first time (as I normally don't) I will walk around like a clown until it fades away.

When applied I find it goes a bit matte as well as having a tiny bit shine to it. When on the lips, it doesn't fully dry which means it is very easily smudged when coming into contact with things. I often find I run it all over my face. I don't even know how.  They are available in another several different colours; Apocaliptic, Big Bang, Nova, Stellar, Galaxy, Celestial, Luna and Nude Eclipse.

Overall, I think that the apocalips products are fantastic. The packaging is lovely and the colours are great also. I would recommend them.

Thanks for reading, Im sorry about the lateness of this post and the fact that my last ones have been so crappy. I promise to try and do better. -Lauryn xo
