Christmas Decorations Haul 2015 | 12DaysOfBlogmas

It might be a bit early to be decorating our houses for Christmas, but it's never too early too buy Christmas decorations, is it? I went to Wilko's a couple of weeks ago and completely freaked out when I saw their Christmas decorations!!! I decided to buy some to put on my tree that I have in my room. All together the haul came to £6.75, which is a really good price because I got some gorgeous decorations!!!

So the first three decorations that I picked up were all copper. I have a new obsession with copper things, I'd mainly like to thank Zoe Sugg, for introducing me to this gorgeous colour!! I was honestly so excited when I spotted a whole box of Copper decorations!!

The first one that I picked up is this geometric diamond. I really liked the look of this one because I can use it for Christmas but I can also use it all year round so I thought it was really cute and a really good price at only £1.50. All the copper decorations that I picked up have a piece of wool that you can hang them with, I thought this was really cute and a little bit different to the traditional piece of ribbon.

I then picked up this really cute little Christmas tree, this one was only 50p which I think is such a cheap price!! I am definitely going to be putting this on my tree because I cant get over how cute it looks.

The final copper decoration that I picked up was this really pretty wired one. I don't think that its made of wire but it looks like it. It's really pretty and different to any other bauble I have. this one was again £1.50. I'm just in love with it and again I can use it all year round!! :)

Next up I decided to pick up a few random decorations. The first one I picked up was this gorgeous handmade glass bauble. My mum actually spotted this one and when she showed it to me I fell in love with it. I love the little dots of colour I think they make it look really pretty!!! This one was also £1.50, but looks so much more expensive!!

The next decorations that I picked up were these glitter icicles. These were only a £1 for 8 of them and I think these will look so cute dotted around my Christmas tree and I just love them so much!!!

Finally the last decoration that I picked up was this plain bauble. I really liked this one because I love the way it shines in the light and looks almost pearlescent!! I'll definitely be picking up more of these baubles because they will look so cute on my tree!! This one was only 75p so once again really cheap!!

So that was my Christmas Decorations Haul, I really hope you guys enjoyed this post I can tell you now I will definitely be buying some more decorations from Wilko's because the quality is amazing!!!

Stocking Stuffer Ideas For Girls | 12DaysOfBlogmas

 

If you're one of those people who still has a Stocking or you know someone who still uses a Stocking, then you'll understand the pure excitement you get of opening up your Stocking first thing on Christmas Morning!! Today I thought that I would share with you some Stocking Stuffer Ideas either for your own lists or for someone else. Also this post is great to read if you don't have a lot of money to spend as none of these things are over £15.

Here are a few ideas that you get your friends or family for Christmas, what's great is you can still get amazing presents without breaking your bank!! :)

1.MAC Lipsticks
This Stocking Stuffer would definitely be for someone your close to like: your mum, sister or best friend. Even though MAC Lipsticks are slightly on the more pricier side, they are such amazing quality lipsticks and there is such a large amount of colour choice for you to pick from!!

2.Gift Cards
Equally if you still want to buy something really nice , but don't know what to buy, you can always get a Gift Card, that way the person who you're buying for can pick out their own products and you've still contributed.

3.Candles
You definitely cant go wrong with buying a girl a candle. There are so many amazing brands around that it would be super easy to find a scent they liked. A good to brand for candles is definitely Yankee Candle, they sell amazing scents, especially at Christmas time!, and they are really affordable to buy!!! Obviously for a stocking you would have to buy a votive, but this could be a great way for someone to try out a few candles they have wanted to try for a while.

4. Homeware
I know that if I was given little pieces of homeware for Christmas I would be super happy!! This is an especially great idea to buy for someone who may be doing up their bedroom or who have recently moved into a new house. Or you could simply buy someone you know a  nice little ornament if their into decorating their room (like me!!)

5. Sweets
So for my final idea I thought I would talk about one of the most obvious things for a stocking... SWEETS!! This is especially good for a friend's stocking that you may be putting together as there are endless possibilities and you can make it really personal for someone by including their favourite sweets.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post and you now have some ideas for some stocking fillers. I would be super grateful to receive any of these in my stocking, and I hope you would be too!! :)

Christmas Q&A | 12DaysOfBlogmas

Q&A's will forever be one of my all time favourite blogposts to write. Since I am in a fully Christmassy mood I thought I would answer some questions about my favourite time of the year!! I posted a picture on Instagram last week asking you guys for some Christmas questions, and I got quite a few so for todays Blogmas post, I'm going to be answering your questions!!!

What Is Your Favourite Part of Christmas?- @floral.photographer

My favourite part of Christmas would definitely have to be the build up top it. Don't get me wrong I love getting all excited on Christmas Eve, but definitely the build up is the best. Because you can decorate your room, sing Christmas songs, watch Christmas films and so much more!! So yep the build up to Christmas is definitely my favourite part!!

Favourite Christmas Memory?- @fabulouslyfloral

This is such a hard question to answer but definitely one of my favourite Christmas memories was last year when it was my cousins first Christmas so we got to spend it with him and it was really nice!!

What are you hoping to receive this Christmas a s a gift?- @petitroses

This Christmas I'm really hoping to receive the Urban Decay Naked Palette as I think it is so gorgeous!! But even if I don't receive it I'll still be happy because Christmas isn't all about the presents!! :)

Favourite Christmas Song?- @scarletjo._

My favourite Christmas song is definitely 'All I Want For Christmas' by Mariah Carey

Favourite food out of Christmas Dinner?- @x.grace.holly.x

This is another hard question but I would probably have to say Turkey (obviously) and my Grandma's Mash Potato because its' so nice!!!

Favourite thing on a Christmas Card?- @all.things.pink.xx

I'm not entirely sure what this question means. But if I was to put my favourite thing on a Christmas card it would definitely be a Fawn. Because I am obsessed with Fawns so much!!!

What's your favourite Christmas Decoration?- @blossomanddaisyy

My favourite Christmas decoration would probably have to be the one I made in Nursery, it's currently up in the attic so I cant get it down but that's definitely my favourite and we hang it on the bug Christmas Tree downstairs and it brings back lots of memories!!

Do you still have a stocking?- @MeetMeInMelford

Yes! Me and my brother still have stockings that we hang on the fireplace on Christmas Eve. It's usually the first thing we look in on Christmas Morning!!

So that was my Christmas Q&A, I really hope you enjoyed and don't forget to follow the wonderful people who gave me these questions.

Christmas Makeup Look | 12DaysofBlogmas

Because it's the Holiday Season, I can guarantee that most of you will be attending some sort of Christmas Party whether that be just with your family or maybe just some friends. Or maybe your struggling to come up with a look for Christmas Day? Today I thought I would share with you a Christmas Makeup look that you could use for parties or just Christmas Day itself. 

So firstly starting with the base, I like to use my all time favourite primer which is Maybelinne's Baby Skin. Once this is blended in I apply my all time favourite foundation which is MAC's Studio Fix Fluid, then I'll apply my concealer which is MAC's Mineralized Concealer, this is really good because it conceals and highlights all in one. After that I'll set my base with the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, this is good because when your dancing at your Christmas parties, your more than likely to get a bit sweaty, so having a mattifying powder on hand is always good!! 

By this time I'm probably looking a bit pale, so I'll use the Sleek Contour Kit  in Light. I love this kit because the contour colour isn't too orange for my skin tone and can be used for both bronzing and contouring. Next up I'll use my Sleek Blush in Rose Gold, this blush gives a super natural flush and has little gold specks in so is perfect for the Holiday season. Finally I'll apply Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl Highlighter, this one is definitely more of a party highlighter and is a gorgeous pearly pink colour. Matched with the blush it looks absolutely heavenly!! 

Moving into eyes I'm going to firstly use my Naked 2 Palette. I have a post up already about my favourite look created with Naked 2, using Bootycall and Tease however, to make it a bit more Christmassy and Party ready I'm going to blend in a bit of Busted into my crease, mixed in with Tease. Then I'll apply Eyeliner, I only ever wear eyeliner at this time of the year anyways, so having eyeliner on really completes this look. My favourite eyeliner has to be Soap & Glory's Supercat. For Mascara, I'm going to use my two favourites at the moment. The first one being Benefit's Roller Lash, I like to use this one first because it curls my lashes really easily , I'll then pair it with Clinique's High Impact Mascara, this one makes my lashes look so much longer and honestly it looks like I'm wearing false lashes when the pair are out together!! Moving onto my Brows, I'll use Benefit's Gimme Brow, this product is amazing and makes filling out my brows so much easier!! Also without my brows done, I think my makeup look wouldn't be complete!! Finally I'm going to be applying my current favourite Christmassy Lipstick, (unfortunately I forgot to include it on the picture!!) My choice of lipstick is of course Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 107, the colour of this lipstick for me is such a traditional red colour and I love it!!! 

So that's my Christmas Makeup Look for 2015, I really hope you guys enjoyed and hopefully I've given you some ideas for your Christmas look this year, whether it's for a party or Christmas Day. 

No More Blogmas? And Exciting News | 12 Days Of Blogmas

Yes, you have read the title right, I am not going to be doing anymore full December Blogmas. If you follow me on Instagram you may know why, but if you haven't seen the post I'll explain it to you now. Basically, I was originally so excited for Blogmas and I hoped it would get me back into blogging, in fact it hasn't it's made me more stressed with my blog than ever before. At first I had a lot of posts planned out and drafted to a high quality, but as it got later into December I didn't have any posts ready and I had to rush with pictures and the actual posts themselves. So as you may have seen I have deleted all my posts from Blogmas and I'm going to start a fresh this month.

Now onto the exciting news, (well it might not be that exciting for you) but for those of you who may have read the first paragraph closely will have realised I will not be doing any more Full December Blogmas, I have however decided to do '12 Days Of Blogmas' this is where from the 12th to the 24th I will be doing a Christmassy blogposts, this will be so much easier for me as I finish school on the 18th which means there will be clearer pictures and better quality writing. I also have this weekend to write posts for it as well.

I'm sorry for such a long and wordy post but I honestly felt like I couldn't continue anymore with Blogmas. Hopefully I'll e able to keep up with this one :) The posts will begin on Saturday and will be uploaded at 5pm UK Time.

Room Decor Ideas for Autumn 2015

So since Autumn is in full swing and all the leaves begin to fall of the trees. I thought it would be a good idea to autumnify? my room. I loved how they look so much that I thought I would share it with you guys.

Leaves
I absolutely love the colours of the leaves during Autumn, so much that I wanted to put some up in my room. I didn't really want to use dirty ones from outside, so instead I bought some from a local craft store and hung them on my wall and they look so cute. Plus it instantly makes my room feel so cosy!!

Fairy Lights
Even though I have fairy lights hung around my room all year round. I always like to get another set of plain lights that I can just hang around my room. I actually hang my leaves inbetween the fairy lights and at night it looks so cute!!!

Candles
Duh who doesn't love candles? I never really have that many candles around my room during the year, but once it gets to Autumn I could literally open up my own candle store (hehe) I just think they look so cute and make my room super cosy. My favourite candle brand definitely has to be Yankee Candle because their candles smell amazing, they have a huge range of scents for Autumn and top all that off they have the cutest pictures on the jar.

Pumpkins
Obviously I don't keep real pumpkins in my room, however quite a few years ago now my mum got some light up pumpkins form Tesco's or something and I was hooked on how they looked in my room and I've been using them ever since!! Its a really good way to decorate your room for both Halloween and Autumn, and the good thing is they don't end up smelling really bad!! (ughh)

Halloween Decorations
One of the main events that happens during Autumn is of course Halloween!! I always love being able to get out all my Halloween decorations for my room!! Again obviously I have my Pumpkins but I have other things as well like a hanging Witch. Some Supermarkets have really cool décor pieces for Halloween for super cheap prices, so if you don't have any Halloween décor I would definitely recommend you check out your local Supermarket!!

So those were a few ways to spice up your room for Autumn, I hope this helped some of you, if you too want to Autumnify your room!! I really enjoy doing these sorts of posts, so comment down below if you'd like Room Décor Ideas for Winter and Christmas!!!

"What's your favourite thing about Autumn?"

My MAC Lipstick Collection ♡

MAC is quite possibly my all time favourite High-End makeup brand. The quality and pigmentation of their products are amazing!! Their lipsticks are probably my fave thing from MAC and I now have 5, I know to some people it may not seem like a big collection, but I'm very grateful for them all.

♡ New York Apple 

This is a lipstick colour that I wouldn't normally go for, it's a really pretty dark red with purple undertones. This is a perfect colour for Autumn and Winter. New York Apple is a Frost lipstick and applys really creamily!!

♡ Angel

Angel is possibly one of my all time favourite colours in my collection. I'm a pink girl at heart so most of my MAC lippies are pink!! Angel is another Frost lipstick and again applys really creamily.

♡ Creme Cup

Another pink colour that I own is Creme Cup, this one is slightly lighter than Angel and even though a lot of people claim that Cremesheens don't have much colour for me it's still a really pretty pale pink. Like I said Creme Cup is a Cremesheen and again applys really nicely. 

♡ Pink Plaid 

The final pink lipstick in my collection is Pink Plaid. This is the newest addition to my collection and is my favourite at the moment. Pink Plaid is a really pretty dark pink with a purple undertones, this makes a really nice autumnal pink colour. Pink Plaid is a matte and for me I prefer MAC's Matte Lipsticks over many of my Drugstore mattes, this is because their really creamy and not drying at all. 

♡ Velvet Teddy

My final MAC lipstick is possibly my favourite out of all of them. Velvet Teddy was my first MAC lipstick and kind of started off my whole obsession!! Velvet Teddy is a really nice dark nude and has light brick red undertones to it. Again this lipstick is a Matte and is not drying at all. 

So that's my MAC Lipstick Collection, I hope you enjoyed reading it and maybe I've parted some inspiration into you on what your first or maybe even next MAC Lipstick will be! 

Fashion | My Topshop Autumn Fashion Wishlist 2015 // Collab WithEnlightGirl

Now that Autumn is

fully upon us, it's only right to buy some autumnal fashion pieces. Today I thought I'd share with you my Topshop  Autumn Fashion Wishlist. This is also a collab with EnlightGirl, so make sure to read her post too.

One of my all time favourite shops is Topshop, I find they have really nice things in at this time of the year! :)

Checked Shirt

So the first piece on my wishlist is a Mustard Checked Shirt. Now Mustard may not sound the most prettiest of colours, but it looks absolutely gorgeous on this shirt. The shirt also has small bits of browns and creams so they really make it look pulled together. The shirt itself costs £30.

Classic Wool Fedora Hat

I absolutely loved the look of these last year but I never bought one. I guess it's probably because I'd never know when to wear it. However this one I find really suits me so I'll definitely be picking this up. The hat is £22

MA1 Bomber Jacket

This has to be one of my favourite th8ings ever from Topshop. It's so pretty and I think it would be really nice for those days when it's not cold but not too warm either. This jacket is £55

 

So that's my Topshop Autumn Wishlist so far, all together it comes too £107, which obviously I don't have right now!! But I'm definitely going to be saving up!!

 

P.S: It's finally time for my Halloween Series to start, so that will begin on Wednesday (MUCH EXCITEMENT!!!)

My Autumn Favourites | Collab with Its-Not-Synx

I think I've probably mentioned this before, but Autumn is one of my all time favourite seasons!! I just love it so much because everything becomes a lot cosier and autumnal colours in my opinion are absolutely gorgeous!!! Today I thought I would talk to you about my Autumn favourites, this is also a collab with the lovely its-just-snyx.blogspot she will be posting her Autumn favourites on Friday so make sure you check it out. 

So I'll start of firstly with makeup. So my first autumnal favourite would definitely have to be a berry or nude lip. (Because what's Autumn without these) Also I don't know what I do if I didn't have my Naked 2 palette because the colours in the palette are gorgeous and perfect for Autumn (I've written a blogposts on an eye look I have created with my Naked 2 palette so make sure you check it out!!) My final makeup favourite blushes, I think that blush looks really pretty at this time f the year because it gives you a really nice autumnal flushed look.

Next I'll move onto fashion. Firstly I definitely at all times have to be wearing my tartan scarf!! I just think that it pulls the whole outfit together and keeps you super cosy. (I've also written a blogposts on my autumn OOTD, so check that out as well if you want!!)  Also I have to have my coat on as well because it just instantly makes me feel so much more autumnal and keeps me so warm!! Next up what is Autumn without a few cosy jumpers? These are definitely my favourite things to wear during the Autumn because you can quickly put them on with leggings and your outfit looks instantly put together. Finally what would an autumn be without cosy socks? Again these are my favourite and as I'm writing this post I'm actually wearing a pair now!! :)

So my final category is probably my favourite because if you've read my blog for awhile you probably know that I'm obsessed over cute room décor (Once again I have a post about this on my blog too!!) Autumn is my favourite time to get cute room décor (aside from Winter) because I love the colours and also Halloween décor is out as well!! One of my favourite things to decorate my room with during Autumn is Fairy Lights, because I think they instantly add cuteness and cosiness to my room. Also I love having little bursts of autumnal colours around m room to instantly spruce it up a bit. Finally I love to buy new ornaments that are autumn inspired because the colours are gorgeous!!

So those were my Autumn Favourites, I hope you guys enjoyed, and don't forget to check out its-not-synx 's post too because I'm sure it will be amazing!!

Autumn OOTD

Autumn is one of my favourite seasons for fashion because it becomes super cosy and the autumn colours for clothes are gorgeous!! I thought today I'd share with you an Autumn OOTD post because I have recently picked up a few new fashion bits and I put them all together into one outfit and it is my absolute favourite outfit at the moment!!

 

 

So firstly my coat is from Topshop and I think its called the Slim Pocket Coat and its a really pretty camel colour. I've been loving the colour Camel recently because I think its so pretty for this time of the year. Next up my scarf is from River Island and its just the usual tartan colours, personally I think it looks really pretty with the coat because it adds a bit of colour to the outfit. Then my white top is again from Topshop, this is a just a really simple white crop top and can be layered underneath everything!! I really like how it looks with this outfit because it still keeps to the really nice neutral autumnal look. My high waisted black leggings are also from Topshop and they're just plain black but I think they pull the outfit together and they just look really nice. (Plus their super comfy too!!) My bag is from Michael Kors, and is super pretty and perfect for this time of the year because it just adds that little something extra to the outfit. Moving onto my socks, these are from Dorothy Perkins and are a really pretty autumnal red colour. Finally my boots are from Pull&Bear, these are my absolute favourite pair of boots I think they look really pretty and complete the look really well. Also they keep my feet super warm!!

So that was my Autumn OOTD, I really hope you guys enjoyed this post, because I really enjoyed putting this post together, and I will definitely be doing more of these!!
