I was so cold whilst having these photos taken today, thats devotion! It was absolutely freezing so no idea why I thought i'd wear this cold-shoulder top from Primark for todays outfit. However I love this top and i'm so glad Clint picked it from Primark. I love my cord skirt which is also from Primark, i've been wearing this so much since I got it. I wore this with my Jacket from New Look and my big grey scarf from H&M which is so cosy. We did a spot of shopping today and I picked up a new coat which I will show you soon, it's a nice cosy but practical coat with a hood! I also got some new black boots from Primark and I picked up a pair of those basic £5 ugg style boots from Primark just to wear around the house or to the shop so that my feet are nice and snug!

I am putting my Christmas Gift Guides together over the next week or so and they should be live towards the end of November/ Early December.

Today i'm wearing this new jumper from Blue Vanilla, I love the frill detailing on the sleeves and the collar. It's a really nice cosy, soft jumper and it's actually quite a thick material. I think this is a really versatile piece, you could easily team it with either a skirt or your favourite skinny jeans.
I love this cord skirt from Primark and i've been wearing it loads recently, you can check out my last outfit post here. These boots are from Primark last year, they are so simple and easy to wear. I popped my leather jacket on today as we were out shopping and didn't want to get too hot in my coat.

I hope your enjoying my outfit posts as i've uploaded a few over the last few weeks! I'm really enjoying blogging right now!

It's time to spruce up your make up and add in those key Autumn bits. These are a few new bits i've picked up recently for the Autumn and some firm favourites.

First up! Have you seen my new babies, thats right i'm talking about my new Spectrum make up brushes.* They are absolutely gorgeous!!! I've mentioned them already on the blog here so check that out. I love them though, and as you can see they are perfect for any flat lay, they are so pretty with their gold handles !!

My new Morphe Brushes eyeshadow palette is another new addition to my collection. It was a birthday gift from my Sister and i've been using it so much! It's perfect, there's such an amazing range of shades and they are amazing quality. This is the 35T palette and you get a nice selection of shimmers and matte shades. The Morphe palettes are a bargain and such amazing quality!!

Kat Von D has just made her beauty debut to the UK so I had to get a couple of bits with my birthday money. I ordered online via Debenhams and had them delivered into store which was very easy and they arrived the next day. I am so so happy with my picks. The liquid lipstick in Lolita is perfection ! It's such a gorgeous shade and the finish is lovely, it's a creamy consistency and it dries so fast and not cakey. It's a little drying but you find that with most liquid lipsticks. I also got the Lock It creme concealer which is a really good concealer and I will be buying it again. It brightens the eye area and covers dark circles really well, it lasts well and isn't cakey. I really want to order a few more Kat Von D bits, what shall I order?

Nars Sheer Glow is one of my favourite foundations so I picked one up with my birthday money, even went all out and got a pump. I've been applying it with my Real Techniques sponge for a light everyday coverage. It's a lovely glowey finish and I really love it.

Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon in Bronzed Garnet is a perfect autumnal shade. It's a rich red, berry shade which looks stunning all over the eye. The Colour Chameleon pencils are so easy to use and they blend out well. I want to add a few more to my collection.

I thought i'd mention this cute little Lord and Berry blusher* in peach that i've been using recently just to add a slight pop of colour to the cheeks. It's a lovely buildable finish such a pretty colour, i've been wearing alot of bronzer throughout the summer so this is slightly more subtle.

A firm favourite of mine is Mac eyeshadow in Expensive Pink, I always tend to whip it out in the Autumn as it's a gorgeous red/ pink which gold shimmer and is lovely all over the lid. It's another easy but effective shade for the season.

I thought i'd mention my new favourite brow product. The NYX Tame and Frame is amazing! I've been running low on my Anastasia brow pomade for a while and i've been on the lookout for a uk alternative as Anastasia hasn't come to the UK yet. This NYX pomade is incredible, i've struggled to find it in my local boots but managed to find one. I've gone for the shade Brunette and it's perfect as I have my brows quite dark to match my roots, you can get it online from Boots.

I'm loving my new autumn make up picks! Have you got any recommendations of products I need to add to my collection. I have just picked up the new Urban Decay Matte Basics Palette which is lovely, i've been using it so much so you can expect a full review soon.

It's officially Autumn ! I thought i'd share my wishlist. There's some really gorgeous pieces out there at the moment. I'm loving Khaki right now so you can see there is a few khaki items in my wishlist. The khaki jumper is a bargain at £9.99 from New Look and you can team it with so many different outfits, black skirt, jeans or a cord skirt for a perfect autumn outfit idea. I really like this cold shoulder shirt too, it's available in a few colours. I think it would look great with some leggings as a transitional piece. How cute are these Clarks boots from Brantano, I love tan ankle boots in the winter, you can wear them with everything,  a little black dress and tights or with a pair of skinny jeans and your favourite jumper. These look so cosy and comfy and would be perfect for work. I love these brushes from Spectrum, I have lots of spectrum brushes in my collection but these are beautiful. A must have for any beauty lover. They come in this awesome bag as well!! This cosy hat and scarf are both from H&M, it's getting much colder now especially in the mornings. I have a new coat for the winter but need to pick myself up a new hat and scarf, this scarf from H&M is only £7.99 and looks so good!! It's so so soft and will look amazing with my new coat. This embroidered bag is from new look and a perfect on trend item. Embroidered patches are really on trend right now, they are all over the high street. I've spotted some really cute jackets and this shirt from New Look is gorgeous. I went into Swarovski the other day for the first time and fell in love with so many things. These earrings and this stack ring is just a couple of things that caught my eye. And finally, the whole Zoella Lifestyle range is on my wish list, I just want everything but I have so many candles and diffusers already, the whole range is beautiful and I see myself picking up a few bits as i've spotted the range in my local Boots and Superdrug.

Whats on your Autumn/ Winter wishlist?

This is a few new releases from the Autumn range, I thought i'd share my first impressions and i'll review them in full once i've used them all properly.

First up is my favourite product from the range which is the BB skin detox fluid, i've been using this for about a week and i'm really impressed with it. I went for the shade light as i've just got back from Turkey so i've got a tan. I did think this was going to be a little bit dark when I first swatched it but it's a perfect match. It blends so well and gives a gorgeous all over colour. Enriched with acerola seed which encourages skin oxygenation, meadowsweet extract to help maintains skins balance and aloe vera extract and hydraluronic acid complex to provide all day hydration. It also has spf 25 so it's great for everyday!

Next up the eyeshadow palettes, there is going to be 4 new palettes in the Autumn range. I have two of them here. I have 01 nude and 03 brown theres also 02 rosewood and 04 Oud ( Harrods & Selfridges Exclusive)
I always love the Clarins Eyeshaows, you can use these both wet and dry. They have a gorgeous selection of colours these are perfect for creating a smokey eye. There's a selection of Matte, satin and pearlescent shades in each palette which are easy to build up for a more dramatic eye look.

Finally theres a new mascara in the range too. This is the Supra Volume mascara which looks so good. I like a big fat brush to add volume to my lashes, i'm so excited to give this a try!! It will also be avaliable in brown.

I'm trying to save money this season as I really want to move house so need to save up a deposit. I think i'm going to pick out and buy some key pieces for the season that I will be able to work into a few different outfits. I've picked out this gorgeous Grey sleeveless cardigan with the fringe hem from New Look, I think this would work with so many different outfits. You can wear it with jeans and a black top for a really easy casual look and then dress it up with heels for a few drinks. This skirt from Coast is gorgeous, they have some really nice pieces in their A/W sale which started yesterday. I love the tree print, it's a twist on a winter floral. The pinks and blues are so pretty, this is such a lovely skirt and it's reduced to £39. I love this Khaki Tshirt from New Look.  I've actually bought a really similar Khaki tshirt to this, (YOU CAN SEE IT IN MY LATEST OUTFIT POST HERE ) I love khaki and I think it's such a lovely autumn colour, i'll be wearing this so much this season. I'm loving t-shirts with my skinny jeans and some lovely ankle boots, these ones from Office are gorgeous, I've been wearing a really gorgeous pair I picked up in Primark. I've just bought a new Fedora, they are perfect for Autumn with the wind and showers. I love this floppy style from Topshop, I bought a really similar one from Primark the other day for £8!

It's about being clever with your money and buying those key autumn season essentials. This Autumn I think floral skirts, sleeveless jackets, fedoras and Chunky Boots are a must have, and just whip out your faux fur Gilet from last year!
