Autumn Lookbook!

So my newest video is my Autumn Lookbook including affordable clothes from Primark, New Look and Boohoo. I was so excited to film this video!
Check it out here>> Autumn Lookbook
So I'll get started on the looks.




The first one is a cute girly one, with the dress and the long socks, but also has an urban look to it with the checkered shirt and chunky winter boots.
The dress is a new purchase from Boohoo and it's a soft black material with a turtle neck to keep you warm. I've only worn it for this shoot but I've fallen in love with it immediately, I might even have to get it in different colours!
The shirt was actually given to me but it's bigger than my normal size so it looks baggy. I wear this shirt with most of my clothes, with the sleeves rolled up and it makes a great jacket. I do know that it's from New Look though where there are some amazing shirts at the minute.
The knee high socks are just everyday ones that you can pretty much get from anywhere. I think they're good with this outfit because you can keep yourself warm whilst also looking good. I think they look great with the boots too.
The boots are another new purchase from New Look. I wanted some winter boots for ages and fell in love with these ones. They're a bit pricier at just under £30 but I think they're worth it for the winter months because they keep my feet nice and warm and are really sturdy and comfortable too.




The next look is a more casual one that I'd probably wear to a lecture or to go shopping in. 
My top is actually from Primark and it was an incredible £3! So I bought one in black and grey. Even though they're cropped tops and look thin they actually keep you really warm. It must be the material they're made of.
My jeans are also from Primark and they're just plain black ones that were £7. I added the rips in the knees myself making them look more expensive than they actually are and I think that's a better idea than buying some with rips in. I've done this to a number of my jeans myself.
My shoes are another new purchase from Boohoo. They're chunky loafers that have quite a high heel on them but I think they'll go with a lot of my clothes and I can't wait to wear them out.
And lastly is my scarf which is also from Primark. It was only £6 and it's reversible, so each side has a different thing on it. I love the dark colours because I think they match my clothes the most. This is also one of the warmest scarves I've ever owned, I'm forever wrapping it round me when I'm out and even when I'm at home.






And this outfit is probably one of my favourites.
Firstly the top is from Primark again (I'm in love) and it's the perfect autumn/winter cropped top. The sleeves are long and warm and the material is super soft, I'll be wearing it a lot this winter.
And these jeans I'm also in love with. I've wanted a pair of boyfriend jeans for ages and I finally bought these ones from Boohoo with huge rips in. These are so comfy, and I feel I could wear them in the day but also if I was to go out at night with a really nice pair of heels. 
And lastly the heels I actually bought from Manchester Market in the Arndale. I shop there a lot for my shoes because they're not that expensive and they're great quality too. They're easy to walk in and they're really comfy too so I feel I could wear them for a full night out. 

And my last outfit was an unplanned one so I don't have any pictures but you'll know what I'm talking about if you've seen the video. This is my comfy outfit and I wear this every time I'm in my room or halls.
The top is from New Look and it's just a simple high neck black top with no sleeves. It's so comfy and I can lounge around in it all day. 
The joggers I grabbed in the sale at Forever 21 because I haven't actually got a pair. These are lined inside so they're super soft and comfortable and they were also a bargain so I'm happy!
My favourite slippers are only £3 from Primark and they're the softest thing I've ever felt. They also have little sticky pads of the bottom so I don't go sliding down the corridor when I wear them.
The headphones that I wear in my video are some I bought from Urbanears and they're the Plattan ones in white. These have great sound quality which is great for editing or listening to music.
My dressing gown I've actually had a while so couldn't remember where I got it from but I've found out it's from a shop/brand called Camille which make super soft and comfy night wear and it must be good quality if I've had this one for a few years!

So that's all my outfits from my Autumn Lookbook.

Fall/Autumn Make-up Look

 So I filmed a quick makeup tutorial the other day. It's a fall/autumn makeup look with a gold eye and a bold lip. I've also used all drugstore makeup so that it's affordable for everyone. You could also wear it with a less bold lip and use it for an everyday make-up because it's so quick and easy to do.

So the first thing I do is apply my foundation. I use the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in True Ivory and used my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to blend it in to my face.

I then used the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer to cover up any blemishes I had left.
And finally for my base I used my Rimmel Clear Complexion Powder to set my foundation. I love using this powder because it's translucent so doesn't give my skin a different colour. I used my Real Techniques Buffing Brush with my powder.

 For my brows I've been using the L'Oreal Paris Superliner in Brunette 03. I love using this because I have quite defined brows anyway so I use it to fill them in slightly.
For eyeshadow I used the MUA Undress Me Too Palette which is one of my favourite make-up palettes. It only costs £4 and I must use it every day for my casual make-up. 
Firstly I put the colour Shy (1) over my lids which is a shimmery light colour for a base. I then used Devotion (2), which is a really nice gold colour, for the outside of my lids going about 3/4 of the way in. And finally I used Obsessed (3) for the crease of my eye lid to add definition.


I then used the MUA Intense Colour Eyeliner in Rich Brown to line the bottom of my lash line. I then just used a simple brush to blend it to make it look a bit more smokey. And finally I curled my lashes and used the L'Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes Mascara which is quickly becoming one of my favourite mascaras. It works really well with my eyelashes, making them long and full of volume.


For my cheeks I used the Make-up Revolution Baked Bronzer in Ready To Go. I use this bronzer nearly everyday and for £4 it's amazing quality. And finally for highlighter I used my favourite one, the Mememe Beat The Blues Highlighter in Pearl Pink. I applied little blobs to highlight my brow bone and also on my cheekbone.


And finally for lipstick I used my new favourite autumn colour which is the Rimmel Lasting Finish Kate Lipstick in #30. It's a really pretty dark plum shade that looks amazing in autumn/fall.


So that's all the make-up I used in my tutorial, if you haven't checked the video out, watch it here!

Stay Happy

Spy Love Buy Wishlist

So this is the first wishlist of a few because I've been doing lots of window shopping at the minute for Autumn clothes! So there will be a lot of wishlists on here soon. 
The first one is from Spy Love Buy and I'm in love with pretty much all of their shoe collection but these are my favourites.


Firstly are these tan coloured heeled boots that have my favourite cleated sole on them! I fell in love with these soles when they first came out and I still love them just as much! These shoes are also only £32.95 with free UK delivery which i think is amazing for the quality of shoes that they look! I think these will look perfect with a pair of boyfriend jeans and a leather jacket in autumn and winter.

Next are the cute little black dolly shoes. These remind me so much of my old school shoes and I never thought they would ever come back into fashion, but I find myself really wanting a pair! I think these will look so cute with a pretty girly dress or even a pair of leggings and a cute flowy shirt! Also can be worn with nice frilly socks in autumn and winter when it's colder!

And on the bottom are a pair of patent black boots. I recently bought some like this but not as low, so I've been looking for some that I can wear out shopping instead of really high ones for a night out! I really like these shoes and I think they'll look nice with any kind of jeans or leggings and a nice leather jacket for autumn,

And last are these knee high boots that I fell in love with as soon as I saw! I've wanted knee high boots for so long but didn't know whether I would pull them off so I'll have to try some on this autumn. There was a girl in college that wore a pair of these regularly and I never asked her where they were from but I'm so glad I found a pair! That's why they're on my wishlist. I think they will look great with jeans tucked in and cute quilted coat in the colder weather.

So that's my autumn wishlist from Spy Love Buy and you should check them out because I'm obsessed with their shoes at the minute!

Stay Happy
