OOTD: Girly Night Out!

So as it was my last weekend at home before I go back to university in Leeds next weekend, I had a celebratory night out with a couple of my best friends! My friend is at university in Durham and so it was super convenient for going out as we could stay in her halls. I had such an amazing night, however I was still drunk the next day until the afternoon due to a awful mix of Vodka, wine, jager and Moet champagne! Ew, let me stop before I vom. Anyway, from the photo's below you can see my besties looked amazing, and I decided to wear a velvet printed pencil skirt, cream chiffon cami, platform heels and a statement necklace. I decided to keep my outfit to simple monochrome colours, and then added a bit of sparkle with my necklace and added a dash of colour with Ruby Woo Mac lipstick, which is my new absolute fave lipstick! What do you think? :)

TREND: Cut- Out Boots

A trend that as been around for the autumn/ winter season is cut out boots! They are all over the high street and are a unique twist on winter boots, the great thing is that these boots could even be worn in most months of the year, over most seasons as you can either wear them with frilly socks, barefoot or with tights. These boots come in many different styles, buckles, zips, heels and varying cut outs. I found these boots recently in store ARK in Leeds, at the time they were offering 25% off on all online orders which meant I got an amazing discount off these £44.99 boots! I absolutely love them, they are just soooo comfy and because although they have a heel, the heel is rubber and therefore is not too harsh on your feet, you can wear them all day long and not be in complete pain! I also absolutely love ARK clothing, it is a little different than other high street stores but they sell some amazing things, there however aren't too many stores in the UK but if there's one near you I highly suggest you check it out, or visit their online store!  Have you got a pair of cut out boots? What do you think of this trend? :)

REVIEW: Models Own- Magenta Divine

As many of you will know, I am such a girly person, honestly anything pink and sparkly I love! Which is why this particular nail varnish caught my eye. I got the glittery pink 'magenta divine' models own nail varnish in a set which also included a, gold, silver and purple glitter nail polish, however there are other glittery colour shades in the models own glitter range. I love this varnish because although the glitter is not really thick and sequined, it works very well for adding a touch of sparkle to a colour base coat, and as I have done, it works well applied 2-3 times for a solid glitter effect. The whole range is priced at £5 a bottle, as are most models own nail varnishes which although there are many cheaper nail varnish brands out there such as Barry M, I think that these nail varnishes are totally worth it! These nail varnishes are available online at www.modelsown.com or in larger boots stores. What's your favourite nail varnish brand? :)

Today's buys!

I was soooo busy with exams before Christmas, and since Christmas I haven't really had the chance to go shopping, so today was the first time I had been in so long! I was is desperate need of some new makeup because I was literally scraping the bottles, and once I had revamped my makeup bag, I thought I would have a little look at the sales! Although some stores such as ASDA, TESCO & Savers have now removed the Rimmel London offer of "everything under £5" (the foundation I use is £7.99) I managed to find that Boots surprisingly were still using this offer! Although I usually really dislike sales shopping as I can never find anything I actually want, I have found the best sale is at Topshop, there are so many bargains in there, and it isn't all crap nobody wants! aha, I managed to pick up a jumper and a top from there, and found Dorothy Perkins had a particularly good jewellery sale, so you should definitely have a look! Below are the little bits and bobs I picked up, have you picked up a particularly good bargain from the January sales? Are you a sales lover or a sales hater? :)

Brand of the week: Ted Baker

Ted Baker has got to be one of my favourite designer brands, although it can be quite expensive, the items they sell are just fantastic! I am starting to build up a collection of Ted Baker products and got a few bits and bobs for Christmas which were Ted Baker, so instead of reviewing each and every product individually, I thought I would make it my brand of the week post instead!
