"December-spiration"

Hey Internet, its April

I can't believe that it is actually December!

ITS CHRISTMAS MONTH!

I should really stop getting so overly excited.. its only the 4rd!

Its officially the countdown to Christmas, WAAHHHOO  its the time where everyone turns totally bonkers and slightly scary whilst shopping, (who else saw the black Friday madness?) just an FYI, its not socially acceptable to snatch products out of someones hands.. just wanted to put that out there...I'm speaking from an experience that i don't ever want to re live again...

Besides Christmas itself, advent calendars are one of the bests part of the month, having nibbles of choccy everyday day, THE BEST, this year i've treated myself, i may have purchased the Dan and Phil advent calendar... not gonna lie, I'm totally in love with it! not only do i get my daily Dan and Phil fix with their super cute/disturbing selfies behind each door but the chocolate is on par with Cadburys! I'm not even sorry that i have the calendar rather than a super dedicated 'fan' i also feel a small sense of achievement knowing i beat all the super speedy teens, which justifies the chocolate eating some more.

However we do need to face the fact that over this month, weight will be gained but its ok, a few pounds here and there from all the justified limited edition coffee shop Christmas drinks is worth it, lets all join hands and take full advantage of the gingerbread lattes and yule log bakes, because... lets face it, when the snow hits, we need them extra pounds to keep us functioning when were freezing to death and the whole country has ground to a halt from 3 inches of snow...YAY England!

December is THE lazy month, where its actually socially acceptable to snuggle next to the fire with fleecy thick blankets without judgement or guilt and maybe a bottle of wine or a slice of cake... or both... rather than going out side facing the perral of englands unpredictable winter weather.

In addition to the mental Christmas present shopping, now is the time to raid Primark for their amazing Christmas jumpers. Funny story; my sister bought a flashing penguin jumper 2 years ago, my mum washed it not knowing that it flashed, and since then its never bloody stopped flashing, at least we know the batteries are good in it!

I hope you have enjoyed this post, next week I'm bring some super exciting food DIY Christmas decorations! so stay tuned for that! in the meantime feel sorry for me, i currently have a little job in a restaurant dealing with customers that suck all the Christmas joy out of life!

"October-spiration"

Hey Internet!

April here, all cosy in my fluffy blanket sipping hot chocolate. All i need now is a tad bit of my guilty pleasure-keeping up with the Kardashians, and well, I'm in heaven.

 As the evenings are drawing in and its 81 days till Christmas-yes i said the 'C' word~sorry. 
I have been embracing the inevitability of winter, swooning over the autumn/winter fashion trends that are trickling in to our high street. I had to talk my self out of buying a navy over sized snood from Top shop earlier today, i don't think i have enough will power to last the whole winter! 
send help!

Personally this is my favourite time of the year, its still warm'ISH', but you can cosy up on the evening, with your favourite +Yankee Candle glistening away in the background burning up some of the most amazing Autumnal scents. I love going on little evening adventure's, jumping and kicking up all the crunchy leaves, BUT Lets not forget that October has Halloween too! meaning i get the yearly treat of both pumpkin calving and pumpkin soup! best of all, still getting to play dress up! call it juvenile, but what is life when your too serious?

This is my personal representation of Autumn. I wanted to share my favourite colours, aspects and textures that make this particular season so inspirational and..well.. awesome :)

All these images have been taken from +Instagram  using the hash tag #autumn go check it out if you want more autumn inspiration. 

This post was inspired by the beautiful post that +Zoella did talking about her favourite parts of autumn, click  'HERE' to check that out!

Feeling Autumnal?

Hello Internet!

April here, and I'm going to be sharing with you my autumn inspired fashion & Beauty wish list!

I'm going to start off with the beauty side of my Autumnal inspired look, because there are so many 
products on my mind that i want, that i need to write it down before i forget!

Beauty wish list

+MAC- Eye shadow in colour amber lights- priced at £13

click here to find more colours!

I have always heard great reviews about the mac eye shadows, and i wanted to give this a try, and for £13 who can blame me!

+Too Faced- Better Than Sex Mascara- which for America is priced at $23.00 Meaning for us brits, we should pay around £14 excluding shipping.

Click here for site

I must admit with this product, i have kind of jumped on the band wagon, but how else are you meant to find a product that perfect for you?! and with so many recommendations i cant resist much longer!

+ TARTE- Amazonian clay 12-hour blush at $26.00-(£16 'ish')

The range of colours they have for this blush are all so beautiful. For autumn, i feel a more earthy/nude tone blush with a statement colour lipstick would give a beautiful winter look! . Ive also seen a Vlog in which missglamorazzi raved about this brand, so naturally i mush have it in my life! 

I hate how easy it is for me to be incised in by a brand!

~And lastly on my cosmetic assault that is my wish list~ 

+Charlotte Tilbury- Matte Revolution Lipstick in Glaston-berry priced at £23

link

Now i have, admittedly, scoured through tons of reviews of this product, and not one has a negative comment,  the range holds fantastic autumnus colouring! The price tag may be a bit hefty but i recon it will be worth it! 

+FleurDeForce has done a beautiful in-depth product review of this, check it out here!

High-street clothing store wish list

+ TopShop- Lace Insert Flippy Dress priced at £26.00

I love, love, love, this dress, sometimes i prefer simple dressed because you can dress it up as much as you like, i want to style this with my black boots/tights, waist belt, leather jacket, and floppy hat for a cute monochrome autumn/winter look 

+ ASOS-Folded Collar Blouse priced at £22.00

                                               

This blouse needs to be in my life.... The collar detail is super cute and i have a perfect mustard colour jumper to style it with, paired with grey skinny jeans and brown boots

+ ASOS-Long Sleeve Blouse in Mono Cloud Print priced at £36.00

*cough cough* i defiantly did not just buy this when i was proof reading this post...

(i love how i have managed to talk myself in to buying this!)

+ Miss Selfridges cut work heart floppy hat-Price: £30.00

Erm.. i have this in black, and i love it so much, its a really cute way of va-va-vooming up a look AND it has a draw string inside so it fits smaller heads!... very clever!

 And finally i found this mood board on the river island website showing some inspirational fashion week street style looks. i very much want the "model off duty" look

River Island Trends

There we have it! basically my Christmas list really :)

I hope you enjoyed reading through this and potentially inspired some purchases?
