Haul: New Bag!

Hello!

This season brings about more reds, deep greens, black and.... camel!
Remember when camel/mustard was THE colour, like it was EVERYWHERE! Anyway, so I decided that although camel is not THE colour, it's still a colour for the winter months and whats better than a bag to spice up any outfit with the colour?

The quilted bag reminds me of the Chanel bags, yet a LOT less cheaper but still as classy!

It's also very versetile as it can be a shoulder bag with the chain doubled up or...

You can make it a longer, slightly daintier bag with a single chain!

It even has a secret back pocket, perfect for your phone!

Here's a similar bag on the TopShop website.
And here's a red version on Forever 21.
You can get also get this colour in many bags including a longchamp bag here, which I have a taupe version of, seen here.

I actually bought it from a local boutique which I buy a lot things from as it stocks a lot of clothing that are trendy! However, it is easy to find dupes for them, so it's all good!

So tell me, what's your go-to bag colour at the moment? The usual neutrals or something bold?

NOTD: Sparkles in the Dark

Hello!

Yet another NOTD is written on this blog, which is not long after my last one here. I had a (short) phase whereby I wasn't feeling very up for painting my nails but now I am more into it again! To be honest, I love wearing darker colours on my nails, and the winter means it is appropriate to do so, hereby bringing todays nail post!

I absolutely love the gold on black.

The gold Barry M topcoat looks amazing on many shades...

...and adds a bit of glamour!

What shade are you nailing at the moment?

Weekly Roundup #8

Hello!
I hope you've had a great week and can now relax in the weekend, unless you're attending a late Halloween Party, which you may want some ideas for here.
Anyway, this week revolved a LOT around Halloween, so here's my roundup:

For the first time ever this year, I carved a pumpkin! I was determined to do one this year and I've got to say, I''m quite proud:

Also on the theme of Halloween, they're selling Halloween themes Orange boxes, I bought one, opened it and found STICKERS! Yes, I was as excited as a 6 year old, but IDC! Anyway, so I decorated some oranges and didn't end up eating theme - I mean, when there's chocolate involved, the fruits go out the window!

Finally I changed around my office and now this is the gorgeous view from my desk, which is where I'm writing this from now! It's muchhhhh better than the wall I was previously facing!

Oh and behind me is the canvas I hung up myself, and shown in this post.

Well, that's my roundup, so tell me: What did you do for Halloween?

Happy Halloween!

BOO!!

Did that scare you? Did it? Did it? haha, instead of introducing you with 'Hello!' I chose 'BOO!!' because that's just more appropriate for this fine autumn day, marking the last day of October (and the day Vampires come out!).

So I drew a picture in the theme of tonight and wanted to share it with you. It's the same kind of thing as this picture, and I hope you have an AMAZING halloween!

If you're still stuck for costume ideas click here for last minute ideas you probably have in your closet anyway...

I hope you have a FANG-tastic night and enjoy it!

NOTD - Barry M, Red Wine is Blood?

Hello!

I feel like it's been a long time since I've done a Nail of the Day post and what better day to do it than a couple of days prior to Halloween considering the colour of my nails this week! The last one I did was a sparkly one!

This is a Barry M nail paint in 'Red Whine' with a top coat of Rimmel Matte Top Coat - so basically it's a matte Burgundy colour. The pictures look very different to each other because some were taken in my bathroom as the lighting is always better in there when there's no daylight! BUT I find they look a little more matte in real life than the bathroom pictures.

I went on the Barry M website to make sure of the name of the polish and saw this. It's a legit Matte Burgundy shade, exactly like what I've got on! How weird! I didn't even know they existed!

I've got to admit the Rimmel Matte Top Coat is amazing! It makes it so I can get various looks from one nail paint, either matte or glossy! Oooh, and if you do have a matte top coat try it on glitter nail polish. It. Looks. Stunning.

 Oh, and it's Monday, so a Manicure Monday was totally due! Have a great week!

TV Show Obsession

Hello!
With cold nights you want to snuggle up in a blanket and watch a TV show even more than before. I had a problem, though: what show to watch?!
I have been a PLL fan for a long time and am close, very close, to catching up to the latest episode. I do not want to be up to date, however, as this means I cannot just turn it on whenever I feel like it! So, I decided to do what seemed obvious: Watch a new show.

After a couple of days of debating which show to watch, asking various people and even googling it - as you know, google knows everything - I was left with a shortlist of TV shows I could get into.

This included the likes of The Vampire Diaries, Once Upon a Time and Revenge.

After watching some trailers and then finally doing ip-dip-do, I came to a conclusion and Revenge it was!

This is good! The show is really interesting and I like having it playing in the background when I'm doing something or just sitting down with a bowl of popcorn and a snuggly blanket - that's the thug life.

Joke!

Anyway, if you're looking for a show to watch, watch revenge - heres a link for the Trailer. Or, if you feel like watching a movie, here are some ideas! 

What are your TV Show Obsessions? 

Who to be for HALLOWEEN - Costume Ideas!

Hello!

Halloween is the highlight of October, even though it's right at the end!
It's great fun dressing up and watching scary movies or going to costume parties but there's one problem... what to dress up as?!

When I was younger I had this Witch hat that was black with a purple velvet trim and a fake spider stuck onto it which I wore for like 3 years straight because I wouldn't want anything else. One year, I found these fake fangs which when you kind of press your teeth together it lights up, so going trick or treating at about 6pm with a group of friends and our mums when it's really dark, my teeth would guide the way! I wander what happened to them...

Anyway these are my top ideas and how to get the look!

Headband - Claires

Dress - ModCloth

Shoes - Karen Millen

Belt - Asos

The good thing about this is you can wear the dress, shoes and belt throughout the year too, so you know you'll get a lot of use out of it! Plus it's super cute!

Angels and Goddess's look quite similar yet you can go with the boho style for the goddess and buy a halo for the angel look! 

Dress: Oasis

Headdress: Asos

Shoes: Asos

So that's another outfit that you can wear again and not only on Halloween! 

I personally love the idea for something cute and girly this year for halloween and these are three ideas that you can go with! 

And if you're not really doing anything for halloween or planning to dress up, get with a movie, a chai tea latte and some cookies and wait until the first of November comes around - which sounds like just as fun!
