BIKER JACKETS AND PERSPEX HEELS

I have seen these heels everywhere, and I couldn't wait for my delivery to arrive. I was a little skeptical at first because the Perspex, the patent, basically the understated yet over the top heels,  you know, were giving me Julia Roberts in pretty woman standing on the street vibes.The trick was to play down the cheekiness of the shoe, with some monochrome and a touch of khaki. 

One thing, although cute and striking, these shoes literally stick to your skin so it's very difficult wearing them with jeans as the zip will not do up easily over jeans, so next time I will try them with tights and a skirt. 

The weather has been very temperamental, as always in England so it was nice to be able to put on a light jacket. I opted for this lovely faux suede biker jacket from missguided. I love the feel of this t-shirt very slinky but sustainable and at £7 I think I will stock up on a few more, because babies and white don't mix. 

Again a very minimalistic outfit, edged out with a touch of khaki and quirky heels. My palette and aesthetic is going through a transition as I am nearing the end of my 20's. I read a buzzfeed article which was a dagger to my heart, that basically told me it's no longer cool to shop where I shop for my age, bye bye forever 21 and urban outfitters lol time to hang up the ditzy prints and have a clean look. I will share an upcoming post on clearing out and updating my wardrobe soon. Hope you enjoyed this piece. What are the lovers getting up to over Valentine's weekend?

LOOKS FOR LESS: KYLIE JENNER

Continuing on from my previous post, of winter essentials which focussed on over the knee boots, I was delighted when I saw this outfit on Kylie as it demonstrated one of the ways in which these looks can be styled. Additionally the black makes the outfit look more chic and less pretty woman.  

Despite all the controversy surrounding her, there is one thing we can not fault Kylie for and that is her style, she has everyone taking notes whether she is attending an event or grabbing Froyo in Calabasas. 

I loved this all black ensemble she wore whilst out with Kendall and although the price tag for this out for is probably a down payment on a house I thought I could probably shop the look for less and not leave the wallet crying. Would you rock this outfit?

Happy shopping xoxo

I absolutely love winter, it's when layering and covering up can be sexy and one way to ensure that is with over the knee boots which are a winter staple.

 I love black as it bodes well with any outfits but tan is also a good option. I wittled through online and found my favourite six. These are great because they all come under £60!! What a bargain. 

Pair them with dark jeans or a shift dress with bell sleeves and you are good to go! What are your winter staples

Connie contours

I look like a little child without makeup!!!! So this fashion craze is appropriate for when I want to turn up the sophisticated and impress.

Although late this was my makeup for valentines day last month so I thought I would do a step by step guide on this look.

I began by moisturising my skin with la Roche posay, effaclar duo.

I then chose a foundation darker than my skin tone and used a smaller brush to fill in the hollows of my face: cheeks, chin, forehead.  : sleek

I applied blusher to the apples of my cheek: revlon creme blush 

Using my finger tips I used my mac concealer to cover blemishes and lighten my dark circles around my eyes. 

I finished by using a large foundation brush to put my Giorgio Arminians foundation all over my face in circular motions to buff and blend my makeup

Finishing touches included a nude lip by laurer mercier lipstick and my go to mascara by benefit 'they're real'

Have a go, and let me know how you get on.
