LFW AW14- People Watching & The Sartorialist

Last Sunday I spent the day in London with my cousin and fellow blogger Jodie. We started the day at Somerset House and managed to kill a good few hours people watching. I met the lovely Jen from A Little Bird Told Me, and spotted Gemma from What's In Her Wardrobe from afar. The highlight of my day has to have been meeting Scot Schuman, a street photographer and creator of The Sartorialist, a blog which is constantly inspiring what I wear. 

So here are a few snapshots from my morning- look out for a few pictures from the Topshop Unique show too, they're on their way! I'm still pinching myself and I can't say it enough- if you have a spare day and train tickets are ridiculously priced, then get your butt down to London! We had no plans for the day but just ambled around making it up as we went along, and I can't believe all the people I saw and even got the chance to have conversations with. 

Happy Monday, Everyone! 

Winter Winds

 

Silly me for thinking it was warm enough to roll up my jeans and were loafers.

Here's a 'what I'm wearing most days' kind of outfit to go with my last post- a 'how I'm painting my face on everyday' kind of thing, although I think I did phrase it slightly more eloquently last time. What can I say, I feel like school is burning me out slightly right now? Deadlines are looming so thank heavens next week is half term. Time to blitz through my ever-growing 'to-do' list.

Any twitter followers might know that I broke my one and only camera lens last weekend, and this is the only post that I had prepared. *applause* Until it's fixed I'm going to need to get all creative and improvise- oh how I love being kept on my toes... I have a few possible solutions with the worse-case scenario costing me £200, but let's not dwell on that because it brings a tear to my eye (and my bank account).

With that, I hope that your week has been slightly cheerier than mine (although that wouldn't be difficult), and I hope tomorrow is a great start to the week!

WOMF #6 | Everyday Makeup

I've been switching up a few of the products I use in my (not so) everyday routine (I love a bit of makeup, but more often than not I don't wear it...) But, on the rare occasion that I decide to paint my face on, here's what it looks like. 

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation - Natural Collection Concealor - Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - Sleek Pressed Powder (used as bronzer) - Natural Collection Liquid Eyeliner - Maybelline The Falsies - Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in 'Let's Get Naked'

This routine is pretty basic and simple, which is why I've been falling back on it for the last few weeks. My eyes have quite a round shape so I use a slick of liquid liner, and I like to keep my lips a subtle, peachy-pink colour, because knowing me if I wore a bright coral or red it would somehow find it's way all over my chin. 

All these products are pretty well tried and tested other than one- and if you follow me on Twitter you might know that it's Maybelline The Falsies. I managed to eek out my tube of Benefit's They're Real! for quite a few months but last week I felt like it was time to venture into pastures anew. I had heard the hype surrounding The Falsies (who hasn't?) so I decided to give it a go. I was a curvy-wand virgin but hey, how tricky can it be? After a few attempts at using it I think I'm getting there but it took me a good three days to figure out which way to hold the darn thing. Note to self: read the instructions! Sometimes they know what they're talking about... 

Let me know what you think of The Falsies and what you're current makeup looks like! 

January Inspiration

After neglecting it for a while, Tumblr has been my go-to app recently. It's an amazing source of inspiration- so here is a round-up of what's been on my Tumblr page recently. If you saw my last post on here then you might know that monochrome has been on my mind lately, and its definitely spilled over onto Tumblr. 

As usual, I've been pretty busy occupying myself with school, homework, and waiting for the weekend. Thank goodness it's nearly here! I can tell that the next few months are going to be one huge, manic blur, so it's probably wise for me to warn you that 

1) This little corner of the internet will be my outlet, and 

2) this sucks, but I can't guarantee two or three posts a week. However, a new post will be here every Monday morning, hopefully with little extras throughout the week too. 

All this late night blogging is doing me no good though, and my bed is calling. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
