I AM IN LOVE!

With these shoes:

I picked them up from ASOS for a sweet £12 in the sale (original price £40). BARGAIN MUCH?! I was actually searching for a pair of nude peep-toe platform heels, and stumbled across these. I ended up with a great pair of nudes and these babies for a grand total of £30. Less than the original £70-something I would have paid for the two pairs!

They are amazing! I've tried styling them with dresses, cigarette pants, leggings, many lengths and styles of skirts, and the combinations are endless. They're very high, I'd say a good 4-5inches on the heel, but the platform makes them pretty comfortable. They're satin, with a zip up the back, and deliciously enticing ;-).

A little part of my boyfriend's soul was crushed into oblivion when he saw me put these on... I am a sizeable bit taller than him (being a pretty tall gal already), but I don't really care haha! I say wear what you want. Wear what makes you feel happy, and expresses what you're feeling, and the kind of message you want to shout out to the world about you. Let your little fashionable heart roam free!

The BEST lipsticks EVER!

I'm a huge lipstick lover and wearer, and I really love playing up my lips with statement reds, hot pinks and plum/berry tones. Autumn is on its way, and I've been searching for a new red lipstick. My go to for a traditional vampy red was MAC brick lipliner and/or No7 Cherry lipstick. But, I got SO SICK of that line that would appear on the inner lip after a few hours of wear, where product seemed to build up (very unflattering indeed =/). So on my little scavenge around Topshop a couple days ago, I thought I'd stop by the make-up stand and check out their range. There has been a lot of hype and recommendation of Topshop lipsticks in the beauty community on Youtube, so I figured I'd just jump in with both feet and try them.

I opted for Hazard, the perfect vampy red, and Show Off, a great everyday natural pink.

OK guys, I am not kidding when I say that the formulation of these is amazing. They are rich and creamy and moisturising. Show Off is a slightly different formulation to Hazard, described as a 'Velvet Finish Moisturising Lipstick' and is a bit more glossy and less long-lasting. But it feels like you're wearing lip balm, and is such an easy colour to wear. Hazard is incredible. I put it on at 9am this morning, by 2pm I had eaten and been talking a lot and going about my usual day at work, and it looked almost as good as when I had put in on 5 hours before!! It is long-wearing but NOT drying, and doesn't build up on the inner part of the lip and form that gross looking line that many lipsticks leave (at least on me!)

At £8 each they are a great deal. I would say that Show Off is an amazing colour for blondes, and Hazard is a great vampy, classic red for anyone! Topshop, you have indeed made mama proud. Go! Run! Grab one now! =D

Shades of blue

I absolutely love mixing different shades of green and blue together in my outfits and accessories. This is my little casual summer get-up for today:

I decided to do a contrasting orange eye, using Woodwinked eyeshadow on the lid and smudged underneath the eye, with Rule eyeshadow blended in the crease (both from MAC).

Here's what I'm wearing today:

Top - Hurley
Shorts - Miss Selfridge
Boots - Bought plain from New Look a couple years ago; I sewed some embroidery and beads onto them

I am loving these boots with shorts. I've had them for forever and worn them a bunch, but usually it is in the winter time with tights or skinny jeans. It's not too hot to contain my feet today, so this is the pairing :). I get a tribal vibe from the outfit...
