Pretty In Pink | My Valentine's Day Makeup Bag

Happy Valentine's Day beautiful people. I love how this year Valentine's Day is right after pancake day, its fab having a double celebration. As you know, yesterday was all about the food, but today is all about the love. It doesn't matter if you're celebrating with the love of your life or if you and your girlfriends are celebrating Galentines, its great to get in the spirit and go all out. There was a time when my hubby and I used to go out and do something special, but now we have Archie our night will consist of a nice home cooked dinner and a cosy up on the sofa later with snacks and a good film. Whether you're going out or staying in, I love creating a Valentine's Day makeup look. Red or pink? It's a difficult one to choose, but this year I'm all about the soft subtle pinks and I thought I'd share whats in my Valentine's Day makeup bag if you need a bit of last minute inspiration.

Fluffy Jumper River Island || Skinny Jeans River Island || Boyfriend Shirt H&M || Boots River Island || Bowler Hat H&M

Autumn is all about knitwear and for me I love nothing more than getting cosy with a fluffy jumper or two (my collection of colours is slowly building). I purchased this black fluffy one from River Island last year and since then it's become quite the staple in my wardrobe, I love it and it goes with everything. Today I've paired it with an oversized boyfriend shirt from H&M and I'm a little obsessed with anything that has a collar right now. 

For me this is just an easy go to autumn outfit and I think the bowler hat as an accessory just makes it a little bit more interesting, cute and girly, which is me down to a T.

OOTD || Missguided Off The Shoulder Jumper

Jumper - Missguided

Skinny Jeans - River Island

Sandals - Missguided

The weather this week really has taken a turn for the worse and although I'm already starting to miss summer (I am Miss Sunshine! Ha) I have to say I'm rather looking forward to wrapping up warm and getting cosy with an oversized jumper or two. As the temperatures have been cooling I've found myself reaching for my pastel pink off the shoulder jumper from Missguided a lot and have found it to be the perfect transitional piece going into these colder months. 

I'm still loving pastel colours and I'm not entirely prepared to let go of summer just yet, so this outfit works perfectly for me. Today I've paired it with my favourite barley there sandals also from Missguided and a pair of light wash skinny jeans. 

I would love to know what your must have item of clothing is right now and if your starting to miss summer just as much as me, let me know in the comments below.

Mac Cranberry || The Perfect Autumn Eye Look

Finally the weather has started to change and I feel like I can fully embrace autumn. The one thing that I absoltley love about the change of weather and seasons is changing things around in my makeup bag and picking colours that suit my mood and the weather outside. The thing that really gets me excited about autumn is bringing out the berry toned shades whether this be in my choice of lipstick, blush or eye shadow. After what seams years of having this eye shadow on my wishlist I finally got around to picking up the gorgeous frost Mac eye shadow in the shade 'Cranberry' as it must be the ultimate autumn shade to wear on your peepers.

As soon as I got my little beauty mitts on this shadow I feel in love, it really is that gorgeous. Uusually I tend to stay away from anything with a frosty finish as I find that it can be a bit too much for daytime and I don't want to go out looking like a disco ball, however 'Cranberry' has just the right amount of frost finish to it - I find it rather subtle and it really adds a pop of warmth to my makeup look. 

As far as an eye shadow goes, its everything that you would expect from Mac and more; It has a long lasting finish, is super pigmented and blends like a dream. Today I've paired it with 'Toasted' and 'Hustle' out of my Naked One Palette to create the perfect autumn eye look. I've popped  'Cranberry' all over the lids of my eyes and then blended 'Toasted' and 'Hustle' in the crease and outer corners. I think for more of an evening look, cranberry will look gorgeous paired with a gold shadow such as 'Half Baked' for a more of a glitsy look, but the look I've created today works so well for daytime and evening, especially if your wanting to make a bit of a statement with your eye makeup, its perfect.

I would love to know if you have 'Cranberry' in your makeup collection and if your planning on wearing it this autumn, let me know in the comments below.

Shirt H&M || Skirt H&M  || Hat H&M  || Necklace Pretty Pretty* || Boots River Island || Socks River Island || Bracelets Orelia*

September is here which means Autumn is well and truly on its way. A lot of you have been going back to school this week and with this outfit I can't help but feel like I'm stepping into Gossip Girl and heading to Constance. I'm loving this loose fitted white shirt at the moment, it tucks in beautifully to any skirt or high waisted trouser and the blower hat was just an accessory that worked perfectly. 

Whether your heading back to school, or just feeling a little bit Jenny Humphrey, this outfit is cute and fun to wear, I would love to know your thoughts.

Lots of Love
