Stripes & Boots

Fashion posts are always a hard one for me because I struggle to take the photos, I have no one to take them :( But the trusty mirror is always a good idea to give you guys an insight into what I have been loving. This week I have been obsessed with Stripes! Everything stripes is perfect.

Primark Haul; Bargain Buys ♥

Another Primark Haul today for you lovely lot,on this miserable day! When I go into Primark I always come out with something I didn't need..story of my life! And whenever I do get the chance to go I pay extra attention to their reduced items rail! This time round I got two items that I have fallen in love with and the price was a bonus!

First of this dress! Something, that caught my eye straight away, this is a lace dress with a diamond cut back that I think is great for this time of year! The fit is actually what made me buy it finally; because it is very snug yet not too on you! Which I like about dresses, I want to feel comfy at the same as showing off my figure!

  

The back isn't that revealing either! I love the fact that this is a diamond shape cut out, as I am noticing a lot of items out there with cut backs. The lace detail is beautiful and makes you feel like a princess. You can also wear this dress day and night, which makes it easier to transform your look.

Look at that! Reduced from £15 to £7! What a bargain...

Next is this blouse/top that I got a little bit before the dress, this was reduced to £5 from £10! I love the material of this, it is very light weight and loose fitting which makes it easier to dress up or even down and makes you look professional or even laid back. I really like the fact that it is much longer at the back, this is a trend I have always loved and love trying!  

The sleeves are cuffed with this pearl beading that makes it look super gorg and summery! The sleeves are slightly cuff which just brings it all together. The pearls are also a added bonus as it is adding a different element on such a plain blouse.

Hope you enjoyed this mini haul, more to come! 

Models Own Review ♥

Hey everyone!!! First off all i want to say a huge, big thankyou for getting my blog to over 1000 views! I don't usually look at views ect. as i'm not really bothered - but this is AMAZING! thankyou!! Today's review is of a bunch of models own products that I picked up at the Clothes Show last year, however didn't really get to look at them properly. So I decided to take them out of the bag and use them!

First up nail polishes! I have heard a great deal of positive about the models own nail polishes! I constantly see them on my tumblr, and instagram dashboard! At the clothes show you got to pick two shades to have in your goodie bag! These are the two i picked, I don't really go for the glitter based polishes as I prefer to put glitter on as a top coat. But it was a different story with these, i fell in love with them! 'Scarlett Sparkle' looks amazing over a red polish or even two coats of it by its self look amazing too! The second 'Pinky Brown Bettle Juice' (love the name!) is a deep purple colour with glitter and looks amazing for a night out! The models own website allows you to view each polish in their collection! 

The next thing is the lip products, the first is their lip gloss and the second their lip balm. The lip balm is very moisturising - it doesn't feel heavy on the lips but makes them feel soft all day! The lipgloss is a gloss that is very sticky, i personally don't mind lipglosses that are sticky as they give a nice finish to your lips and have a better pigment. These products can't seem to be found online I'm afraid :( 

The next few things are eye products, however I also included the lip liner in this section as I also had the eye liner...wierd I know! The first is the pro-eyeliner, oh my golly gosh ..you guys! I hate liquid liner, as it never goes on properly for me, however I don't know what it is with this but,this just works a treat! I can hold the bottle perfectly and it draws a line in one stroke! The second is the pencil liner, which I adore, it gives such good colour where as many pencil liners don't these days! It also is such a smooth thing to apply! The lip liner is my fav! The colour is one that I would never ever have thought of buying however, I just had a different liking to this colour on me! I LOVE IT!  

Dress to suit you ♥

As it is currently party season, and coming up to new years eve with all the party's. I thought it would be a good idea to give you a guide on how to dress appropriately for the body shape that you are. The worst thing to do is to wear something unflattering and have everyone talk about you.

1. THE PEAR SHAPE
A pear shaped women has hips that are wider than the shoulders, your bottom is rounded and your waist is noticeable. Your best feature's are your shoulders, and the flat stomach. My drawing attention to your waist and arms you are balancing out the upper and lower body.

DON'T - wear items of clothing that focus on your hips & thighs
DO- Mix up light and dark colours so they contrast.
DO- Wear strapless dresses to show off those arms and balance the top and bottom.
DO- Go with the pointy toed shoes to elongate your legs.


2. RECTANGLE SHAPED
Rectangular body shapes have hips,shoulders and a waist that are similar in width. Your best feature's are your arms and legs which means you don't have to take attention away from other parts of your body. BY just creating curves in your body you are showing those arms and legs off.

DO - Wear tops that have collars, ruffles or any detail that will flatter your top half.
DO - Layer items of clothing to add more shape.
DO- Feel free to experiment with a range of different colours.
DON'T - Go too daring with prints and patterns

3. APPLE SHAPED BODY
Women with apple shapes figures find that their weight gathers above the narrow hips that they have. There ribs, back and shoulders are broad and can tend to make you feel wider than others. But a advantage to being apple shaped is the LEGS!! If you show off the legs and create the image of having a waist - you'll look amazing!

DO- Buy tops with v-necks for a longer torso image.
DO- Wear belts that fit around the smallest part of your waist.
DO- Go for the empire tops and dresses which will do their best to hide any tummy bulge.
DO- Boot cut and flared jeans are your best bet to create a even line from head to toe.

4. HOURGLASS FIGURE
Being an hourglass figure, means that you are a very lucky woman! Your hips & shoulders are similar in width and lie in between a tiny waist. CURVES are your best assest ... showing these off will get anyone drooling.
DON'T- Please don't cover up those curves with baggy clothing
DO- Wear dresses that are fitted to show off those curves
DO- By wearing a belt you are showing off that hourglass shape
DO- Go and try wearing skinny or straight leg jeans.
