Autumn Clothing Picks

It's Autumn/Winter finally!!! However I really do miss the sun and my tan! Anyway as per usual I have been using all my babysiting money (which is actually a great job) and I have been buying new winter clothing!! 

I have been shopping at Primark, Newlook, h&m, topshop and lastly liquid glamour lounge! Liquid glamour lounge is were I have my nails done and they also do shopping nights and sell quality clothing! 

They sell things like gillets, capes, handbags, shoes, jewellery! And honestly there products are such good quality they have the same styles as high streets but find products that are better quality then places like topshop ect! I have a couple stuff from there including my gillet and my new cape!!! 



I have my cape which is a cream colour which is recently brought and it's perfect! I have wore it when I went out for a family meal and shopping!!! Everyone comments on it and how nice it looks! 

But they have just recently made a website where they are selling these items and I really recommend them! http://www.liquidglamourlounge.co.uk/shop-front.htm a lot of the clothing items I have purchased are on there!


Thank you for reading!!! I thought it would be nice to just talk about these unique pieces of clothing and just tell you where I get them from and it's better now because they are online! And enjoy!!

Amethyst Shimmer

Another post!!!! This one is totally different to any post we have done on here but I thought why not try something different!! 

So this blog post is about my new favourite lip colour for Autumn\Winter! The lip colour I have taken a liking to is a burgundy colour from Rimmel in the shade Amethyst Shimmer and I love it! I decided I wanted this colour because I've been watching this girl on YouTube called imhereforever and I'm totally obsessed with her videos and she had a similar colour on to this one so I had to go and find one! 



As you can see the picture does not do it justice but it's a burgundy kind of colour and I think it's going to be perfect for Autumn with large jackets and my chelsea boots and it's great because it matches my hair perfectly so I can probably get away with wearing it in a lot of seasons and also maybe for school as my hair colour is brown and the lipstick isn't that bright which is great! 









This is it on!!! It's beautiful it has to be one of my favourite lipsticks! The lip liner I used and brought was the Rimmel Coloursensational in the shade 547 Pleasure me red! And I bet you're thinking a red lip liner what?! But honest it goes perfectly with the colour of the lipstick! 


I bet you're all thinking how well does it come off?! Well that was my first worry but I actually tried taking it off with makeup wipes which took it off completely but you could still see the colour a little bit so I decided to use a product which I love to death and use when I'm to lazy to do my moiturising and to remove all my makeup completely and that's the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water this product is the best product ever! I normally use the Garnier makeup remover wipes thinking that will remove all makeup but it doesn't remove it all so I apply this to a cotton wool pad and just go around my face to remove excess makeup! 

So I used this to get rid of the lipstick and it worked perfectly! It was gone within one wipe to the lips which is perfect as these sort of colours can stain you're lips and I don't really like that so it's perfect!

How to style ♡

Grey jumper...




I recently treated myself to this gorgeous Topshop jumper. Its plain grey at the front but has heart shaped tartan elbow patches.  I made day time, more casual, and an evening, more formal, outfits with this jumper and got compliments from friends and family on both... WIN! 

Casual...


Jumper: Topshop
Vest top (not seen): H&M
Leggings: H&M
Hi-tops: Converse

This outfit is comfortable and warm for the chilly autumn days. It could also be made a little more smart with some black flat ballet pumps instead of converse but I love this outfit because it's comfortable but still looks really nice.

Formal...


Jumper: Topshop
Shirt: Internationale
Jazz Leggings: Walsall Dance Shop
Shoes: Primark

This outfit looks a lot smarter with the shirt underneath and if you wear a pretty shirt like I did then you can take off your jumper if its hot and still have a smart evening look. My leggings are Jazz dance leggings, but I know not everyone will have them so I'm sure that disco pants will look just as good. I also wore my Thomas Sabo and Pandora charm bracelets. 

I hope you like this kind of post and maybe we can do more like this in the future!

Autumn OOTD's ❤♡



Finally a new post! Me and Abbie have been so busy lately I mean I have been stopping after school everyday to finish coursework and homework! We also have some mock exams this week that we are stressing about and we also have our maths GCSE exam coming up so we have been revising for that nearly everyday! So we are so sorry for the lack of blog posts but we are slowly coming back into the blogging game! Me and Abbie had a sudden thought about our OOTDs yesterday because we really liked our outfits!


Time for an outfit post YAY!

Alicia's OOTD:


Jeans-Topshop Coat-Topshop Shoes-Primark Scarf-Primark and Blouse-Topshop

I really loved this outfit when I put it all together I really liked the tartan scarf as it matched the inside on the hood of my coat as well and the colour of the coat also went great with the brown coloured brogues. My jeans where a new buy as I was looking for a pair of black/blue jeans that I could wear in the winter and these were from topshop which I ordered online and they where £38.00 they are the Moto Leigh Jeans super skinny and these have always been my favourite jeans from Topshop and I have several lighter pairs. You can't really see my blouse under my coat and the scarf but  its one of those blouses that you can wear with you're leggings as its a high low blouse! It is cream with black polka dots over it, Its from topshop again and it was £38.00 I know expensive but it was all brought with my bank card!

My coat is just a dark green colour with tartan in the hood and has leather pads on the elbows which I think looks great with the colour, It's a big size as I brought the size 10 because there was no size 6 anywhere so I just had to buy it oops I was desperate, It was from topshop last year and I had it for christmas from my mom and dad so I don't know the price but it should still be on the website. My scarf and shoes are both from Primark and they are my most worn stuff at the moment, I thought the scarf went lovely with the coat as the hood had tartan in it but I just wore this over the top of the blouse so that it kept my neck warm! The shoes I wore just completed the outfit as I thought the colour was very autumnal the prices for these are both in my primark haul.


Shoes

Scarf


Blouse

And that me done! Over to Abbie to do her OOTD. I am slowly putting together a Autumn lookbook with all different outfits that I tend to wear during the season filled with pumpkin spiced latte and big baggy sweaters! Alicia 

Abbie's OOTD:


Riding pants- Primark, Scarf- Small shop in Walsall Shopping Centre, Jacket- New Look, 
T-Shirt- Superdry, Shoes- Primark

These outfits were for a non-uniform day at school so I needed something comfortable but still wanted to look nice and smart. Since I bought my riding pants in THIS haul I have literally worn them to death! I absolutely love them because they are so comfortable but still look really smart and I did get a few compliments on these throughout the day! Also they were just £6 so whats not to love?! My scarf was one that I got just to wear with this jacket. Its a really pretty neutral cream and brown thin fashion scarf (So it doesn't exactly keep you warm) with butterfly's on. This was just from a small accessory shop in my local shopping centre (Think a cheaper version of claires accesories?) and i believe it was about £2 which makes me love it a little bit more! My jacket is brown real leather (Sorry to any animal lovers but this jacket would be an exception if you saw it!) and its from New Look. It is pricey because its real leather but my nan and grandad bought it me for Christmas last year and I defiantly think it is worth it! Its £60 but you can get fake ones cheaper also in New Look. You cant see my T-Shirt but its a plain black one with a small pocket on the left. I t has to be tucked into trousers really because on the bottom it has a bright pink logo which wouldn't really match much.It was £16.99 but is worth it because it doesn't dis colour in the wash like some black clothing does and its the kind of thing you can wear with almost anything because its just a basic wardrobe piece that I think everyone should have! Lastly my shoes were £4 from primark and I actually had to buy another pair of these so i have one pair for casual wear and one pair for more formal outfits as i wore the first pair so much! They are in THIS haul post.



Hopefully we can do some more joint posts like this soon but as me and Alicia do different subjects at schhol we have different homework and revision free nights so we will try our best

Hope you enjoyed! Abbie

Primark Haul❤





YAY HAUL TIME.......... Well since I have not been shopping in ages me my mom and my grandmar and par just went for a little shop so we just went to primark and trust me I can't just pop in a see whats there I end up coming back with a big bag full of clothes!



Shoes:
So I think that primark do the best shoes ever I mean I love topshop and office shoes but sometimes when fashion keeps going in and out its better to buy cheaper then it is to go and buy expensive so on with the picture.......

£12.00

£12.00

Here are the topshop look a likes these babys where £12 and they are just black leather with a little cuban heel! I think these are the best look a likes for a pair of topshop shoes and im seriously going to be wearing these all autumn!




£12.00

Next I just brought these light brown brogue style shoe as I thought I could wear them with my thick black tights and a big cardigan ready for autumn but I could also wear them with my jeans and a nice simple top with a big knitted cardigan over the top.


Winter Wear.....
So as its winter I thought why not buy a new coat and a scarf and some gloves!? I already have my winter coat from last year which is just a topshop one but I have been admiring the green parka's and I didn't want to pay full price incase they went out of style quick so I just brought one from primark and its lovely! I can't wait to wear it when it snows! Its this dark green/ brown colour with fur around the hood (Don't worry its not real) and inside is a soft fur wool and there is leather trim all around cuffs and the pockets.



£25

£25

The next thing I purchased for school to put over my blazer when it gets cold is just a snood and the matching gloves as we can't wear coats for school so we just have to bundle up! The snood is a chunky cream knit and so are the gloves.
£4.00 Snood

£2.00


I also wanted just a normal scarf that I can wear with my jeans and my cardigans and just my coat so I was seeing on Instagram that everyone was buying these lovely thick tartan scarfs and I instantly fell in love and tartan is very in at the moment so I thought why not... So I brought that and thought I could wear it with my brogues a nice blouse and my jeans. It has a dark blue in the background and is covered with a red and a blue and green the picture really doesn't do it justice!
£4.00




Tops, Cardigans, Trousers and Belts:
So there wasn't much tops or cardigans that I like there so I just brought a few things! First I saw this lovely fluffy baby pink cardigan which looks exactly like one that my mom has from river island but I didn't want to keep wearing my moms so when I saw this I had to get it! It will look lovely with a dress as well and also with my jeans again!



£12.00

And then I just brought this pink and grey blouse as that's what people seem to be wearing at the moment and tucking it in to there jeans and wearing a brown belt and some oxford style shoes so I wanted to get one! The only size they had was an 8 so its a little big for me but I really wanted it! The blouse colour is baby pink and then goes to grey on the shoulders and the arms!




£10.00

I then saw that they had some black legging/ riding trousers and I have been looking for some of these for a long time but again I didn't wan't to pay full price for some! These are just like a black legging type trouser with a quilted pattern buy the pocket!


£6.00

£6.00

And on to the last thing I brought........ So I was looking on H&M for a nice brown and black thin belt and they were out of stock so when I was looking in primark I was trying to find one the exact same but I cam across these belts that were in a set of 2! The black belt has studs along the belt and the brown one is just plain! I thought these would go well with my jeans my brogue style shoes and my blouse tucked in!

£2.00

£2.00


 And thats it that is the end the haul! I hope you liked it and me and Abbie are very sorry that we are slow at putting blogs up we don't seem to have a minute with homework, school and trying to complete coursework! We are going to try and post more OOTD's and an Autumn lookbook?!

Autumn Outfit Of The Day...

Formal Autumn OOTD...



So earlier today I went to a christening. As its almost October I wanted to wear an autumn colour dress because I expected it to be typically British and quite cold, however, sunny and 23 degrees isn't something I'm gonna be complaining about anytime soon!

To make this more Autumn appropriate I would wear a black cardigan and black tights, which is what I was going to wear if the weather wasn't so nice.

 So this is what I wore...





Dress and belt - Newlook
Shoes- Primark
Bracelets- Pandora & Thomas Sabo Charm Club


Hair & make up...



These pictures were taken when I got home which is why I'm beginning to look shiny but I went for a very subtle minimal make up look with a soft smoky eye and quite bright lip. I french plaited the front section of my hair which you cant see very well but just kept the whole look very simple.
