Fresh Faces.

I have to admit, about a year to two years ago, my skin was not in great condition. I guess everyone has that belief to an extent, but I truly believed that it could have been better. I remember going past Lush in Westfield and the smell was so enticing, I had to take a closer peek. Upon entering, I was greeted by my friend, little did I know that she worked there and she offered me some wonderful advise along with an amazing product called 'Angels On Bare Skin'. Truly amazing. Its like putty. You add water and hey presto, you have a face scrub. Along with this I used a sliced lemon (sounds weird right?!) but it works. You just rub delicately in a circular motion then rinse off. My skin is brighter, smoother and a lot more appealing in my books. Definitely worth a try. 

Next, is this dream in a bottle from Avon. Planet Spa mud mask is probably the best mud mask I have used yet. Its really thick and spreads easily, so not a lot is needed. and it smells divine. After about 20 mins (I'm a bit extra) again, smooth skin is a result, which always puts a smile on my face. Being truthful, I do believe Avon products to be good quality anyway, so it came as no surprise when I tried this product.  

 

To finish off my skin care routine, I think it's best to say, it's vital to have a moisturiser to help keep a dry face at bay. For that I use Shea Butter. It just works for my skin. I don't find it thick or too greasy but perfect. And best of all, it can also be used for the whole body! So that's exactly what I do.

OOTD: College Days

I'm beginning to blog less but in saying this, I still take everyday pictures, collect them then blog. I feel this suits me best. This outfit I really liked. Although I didn't judge the weather properly and ended up freezing my bum off, I guess it was worth it in the name of fashion. As the saying goes, pretty hurts! Here I'm wearing my Zara high waisted shorts ( though to me they look like skinny jeans in this picture), Office brown boots, white shirt from a long ago shop at Forever 21, and two of my favorite pieces, my khaki jacket and grey t-shirt straight from Korea.

I've had this jacket now from since year 10 and I'm in year 13 now (4 years isn't so long I guess). I just can't seem to throw it away cause I love it so much! But hey, I guess old things are becoming new things nowadays.

The Mini Shoe Haul

My first New Years post. Firstly, I should say Happy New Year! Secondly, I haven't been focusing on blogging recently. Being in college, and exams looming, the stresses of revision has been taking its toll on me. Everyday has been a revision session as failure is not an option. Hopefully, the year of 2013 will bring along some opportunities to actually be able to focus all my energy on the development of my blog!

Stylistpick has to be one of my favorite companies to purchase shoes from. They have an exceptional range of footwear. From stilettos to pumps they come in a array of fantastic colours that are bold, eye catching and frankly just stunning. For presents to myself, I decided purchase two pairs of shoes to add to my ever growing collection of beauties. This will sound terrible as a fashion blogger, but I only own two pairs of heels to my name, but they have both been worn only once. I believed that being 17, I felt too young to wear heels and so now being 18, I feel like its time to mature so I ordered a pair of casual heels and a pair of biker boots; sticking to what I know.

I think since I am basically a beginner at heels, it made sense to start off small. I don't wanna go around breaking my ankle now do I! These are super comfy and I swear I feel no pain when walking in them for long periods of time. Amazing pair of booties 

Seriously, anything with studs on I fall in love with. They are such an edgy way of vamping up a piece of clothing/ pair of shoes. These are also super comfy and I got them in a size smaller because they didn't have my size but I had to have them and still they fit like a dream. They go with anything too. Such an amazing buy, if i do say so myself.

These Boots Were Made For Walking: The Children's Edition

Boots for kids have definitely improved over the last couple of years. They have become more trendy, more colourful and most of all more kid proof. My nieces and nephews have been round and I saw these boots loving the absolute crap out of them because they looked like boots I'd see on an adult. The grey boys boots from Next are my favorite. The different textures on one boot is amazing. I especially love the panel of suede stitched to the side, it adds that beautiful, unique touch that I love. The next pair, also from Next are just darling. Beautiful fur, arranged around the top and on one side of the boot giving off a cute, girly feel. The Sabre tooth styled buttons add edge and the brown colour is perfect for the winter months. Other boots that are featured here are the black boots and the wellies.

Trend Alert: The Onesie

Okay, these babies have been gaining attention for their snugly, comforting, warm material and even though its not going out and wearing them they are still clothing therefore I class it as being fashionable and better yet a trend. I have seen it all from bears to Tigger to my personal favorite  the reindeer! The range of designs and materials that they come in really does fascinate me. Since getting one for my 18th birthday I have literally fallen in love with them and I have to say they are an amazing investment. 

My Reindeer Onesie :)

I Then went on line to scan the web for some onesie photos and came across this beauty of an idea. It would be fantastic to chill, while at a festival, in a onesie. And the combination of accessories are just amazing. The glasses have an American design on them, following the same pattern as the onesie. The blue carries on to the shoes with a pinstripe blue pattern and to tie it all off a straw hat, always a necessity at a festival. And again, all available at Republic!
