FASHION: HOW TO WEAR YOUR CHELSEA BOOTS


One of my favourite things about the weather being cold is Boots, I would live in boots if I could. My favourite boots right now are my Chelsea boots, they have a thick chunky heel and are black. I wear them all the time. They are so comfy and versatile.  There's so many ways you can style your chelsea boots, for example in this outfit post i've gone for a black pleated skirt, this is my absolute favourite skirt, I wear it all the time. It was from River Island years and years ago. Today i'm wearing it with a basic striped top from Topshop. I've chose to pop on this huge chunky cardigan from H&M because its absolutely freezing. As I said I wear these boots with all kinds of outfits. They look so good with skirts and dresses.  I also wear them with my skinny jeans, I love how they look with my ripped knee skinny jeans from Zara, there's a photo below. There's so many different ways to wear your Chelsea Boots! If you don't have any Chelsea boots there's so many options to choose from, I love the look of the Vagabond Chelsea boots which you can get from Mastershoe Myshu, they have so many styles to choose from. I love these suede/ fluffy looking ones, these have a nice little heel as well so if your not great with heels there's still loads of choice.

FASHION: SPRING KNITWEAR




So the days are getting longer and it's much lighter outside Spring is coming yay! I hate being cold, I can't wait for it to get warm again. I thought id put together a few ways you can bring your winter knits into the spring season. It's still really cold outside so it's not time to put away the jumpers just yet so heres how you can bring them into spring.

First of all i've gone for this gorgeous Grey cashmere polo neck jumper , i've been loving polo necks this season. They look so good and are so easy to pop on. Pastels have been huge for the last few seasons and I don't think thats going to change this Spring. This black skirt with the lace panel on the bottom is such a pretty skirt for the spring season. Along with the black boots this creates such a gorgeous monochrome outfit and then i've added the pastel pink leather jacket and the mint bag to add a pop of colour.

Next up is nauticals, always a great choice for Spring. I love navy and stripes. They are just so easy to pop on with a pair of jeans. This boyfriend jeans are perfect to pop on as a casual outfit. I've picked out a few more nautical related items like this pretty dress, which I would pop a plain jumper or even a jumper with a different pattern on it as Clashing prints is really strong.

OUTFIT POST: THE DAYS SEEM BRIGHTER NOW.


Another outfit post! I love that it's bright again, I really struggled with the dark days to get up and get some outfit photos taken, I'm just about to pop out to meet Clint from work. Were going to the gym and I might mention going to the Cinema, as I really wanna watch something. 

It's been really cold today so i've put my hugee fluffy cardigan from Blue Vanilla* on! I love it with my Striped top, just a basic one from H&M and my blue ripped knee jeans from Zara. Obviously my favourite boots from Public Desire. I popped on my red tartan scarf which I got a while ago from H&M its one of my favourites! 

I been playing with some new make up bits and pieces today so expect lots of beauty reviews!  



OUTFIT POST: PINK COAT, CHECK SCARF!


I went into town on friday, for those of you who don't know I live in Birmingham, about 20 minutes from the City Center which is handy. I tend to go into Birmingham if I want to go to Selfridges or want something in particular. I live closer to Solihull which is a smaller town, with a highstreet and shopping centre. This is where I work so its more convenient, there's a John Lewis and all the high street shops like Topshop, Boots and New Look. 

I was actually invited to get my hair cut, I'll be blogging about this soon but I took these photos after having my hair cut. It needed cutting again but I decided to get a good bit chopped off. I like having my hair short. It actually turned into a pamper day, I got my eyebrows done and also had a little make over on the Clarins counter in Selfridges. 

I know this is another shitty outfit post because its mostly my coat and scarf. It's been freezing and i'm sorry I love outside outfit posts but I just can't take my coat off just yet. I wore one of my favourite dresses from Topshop which is a grey flippy dress with a lace insert on the shoulder. I wore this with my really long Khaki Cardigan from New Look. Along with my Public Desire boots, New Look bag, Simply Be coat and my chunky scarf from the Clothes Show.   



REVIEW: MAKE UP REVOLUTION NAKED CHOCOLATE PALETTE

Naked Chocolate Palette - £7.99

So I jumped on the Make Up Revolution band wagon, after the launch of their brush collection I decided to place an order. You can see the brushes here, I did a quick post about my first impressions.

I picked up this palette about reading some amazing reviews. The colours are perfect for me so I just had to order this. 

When it arrived I wasn't left disappointed. The colours are amazing, there's a mixture of matte and shimmery shades and there's light to dark shades so you can create so many different looks. 

The pigments are so good and i'm really impressed with the quality for the price. There is 3 different I love makeup chocolate palettes to choose from so theres a variety of shades to pick from. 

(sorry for this awful eyebrow shot but I really wanted to show you the pigment in the shadows.)

REVIEW: No7 LASH IMPACT

 No7 Lash Impact Intense Volume Control - Boots - £13.50*

I've been using this mascara for a few weeks and I have to say i'm impressed. I have used No7 mascaras before and i've always liked them. I have quite sensitive eyes but i've never had a reaction to any No7 products. 

The brush is big and theres loads of bristles. The fibre brush is designed to stops clumping. I've tried this on its own on clean lashes and it gives bold lashes. It leaves lashes feeling fuller and full of volume. I feel after a couple of coats my lashes look really good, almost like wearing false lashes. I've started applying this on top of my Rimmel London Lash Accelerator endless mascara, this makes my lashes really long and then with the Lash Impact Volume Control on top for to add that Volume to my lashes.  

I love the packaging, it's amazing! It reminds me of Dorothys shoes from the Wizard of Oz ! 

I think £13.50 is a great price, I would repurchase this product it adds so much volume which is something I look for in a mascara. 
  


FASHION: ASOS TOP PICKS


I've been hearing lots of people rave on about Asos and how good everything is at the moment so I thought i'd have a little browse at some bits and pieces. I've picked out just a few items that i'm loving right now. First of all these cute ankle grazers, i've never had a pair before because i'm so short however because asos have their petite range I recon I could get a pair that would actually sit above my ankles. I'm loving grey right now so I picked out this jumper, it's so slouchy and looks so comfy, but with some jeans and heels I think it would look so nice for a meal out or shopping. I love orange, I already have an amazing orange bag from Zara, but this clutch is gorgeous. I love how a bright bag can brighten up any outfit. I love wearing black and grey so this is just a perfect bag and would go with so many different outfits. I seem to be loving trainers at the moment, i've joined the gym and really want a pair of Nike running shoes, they have some really unique colours and patterns. I love these ones with the lime trim from Asos. I love shopping on Asos because you get free delivery and theres always some kind of discount code floating around.
Theres always discount codes on Fashion Beans, they always have codes for Asos, River Island and many more.
I'm on a spending ban right now because i'm off to Florida in like 7 weeks! I'm so excited, so i'm saving for that but send over your Asos wish lists i'd love to see them.
