Autumn / Winter lipsticks 2014

Lipstick has slowly become my mini obsession over the past year. I'm most fond of dark colours, so I am beyond delighted that Autumn is here so I can wear these gorgeous colours all over my face. So here are my most favourite (and cheap) , pretty little lippies for Autumn/Winter

Pastel at Penneys

Hello and good afternoon everybody! Hope everyone's Monday isn't starting off too bad! Because I know mine is! I'm only after going and breaking my toes! Just my luck eh? But one thing that IS making my Monday is seeing all the fabulous pastel colours surrounding Pennys/Primark at the moment! 

Who said Pastel is just for spring? I think the wonderful icy blues and cool pinks are exactly what we need this Autumn/Winter!

So here is a few things that I've spotted in Penney's on my last trip 

Penneys/Primark seem to be TOTALLY on point this Autumn/Winter with there amazing range of new,fresh and fashionable coats and jackets. 

These two were most definitely my favorite! Inexpensive,chic and VERY pretty

• Right: Pastel pink over sized jacket - 30.00euro (excuse the lighting, its actually a very pretty pink)
  
  
  
• Left:  powder blue oversized soft coat - 28.00euro

These coats are absolutely stunning, and are perfect for the run up to Winter! These jackets will make your outfit a stunning statement.

This gorgeous textured clutch will add femininity to any outfit. And at only  7Euro, how can you resist?

Now this faux leather, pastel blue pencil skirt is simply stunning! Looking for those damn hot Kim Kardashian curves? Well grab one of these bad boys, team with some nude heals and you wont know what hit you! This skirt is also available in baby pink and black! not bad for 12 Euro!!

Looking for a more relaxed approach? Then look no further than this uber relaxed,girly and stylish outfit. 

Pleated skirt 15EURO

nude pink T bar dolly shoes - 10EURO

Fluffy duck egg knitted jumper (available in pink & mint too) - 12 EURO

People...Feast your eyes, on this glorious bag! Yes its from Penneys and yes its only 11euro!Can  you believe it? Just look at how pretty it is! And its an absolutely perfect size too! These will fly off the shelves so grab one while you can!

Jewelry by Magpies nest

Hello, and good evening everybody! If you're looking for some late night reading before bed or simply are looking for some quality jewelry then I have just the post for you.

I recently got approached by a gorgeous and lovely girl on Instagram wondering if we could maybe do a collaboration and I jumped at the chance.

She runs her own business in England and creates some of the most delicate and pretty jewelry I have ever seen.

You can check out her stuff here!!

 And these are the three items that she sent me 

This gorgeous amethyst necklace on 18' chain.

Usually retails for 4.77 EURO

This necklace is insanely durable and very well made.

This insanely gorgeous grey/purple titanium quartz necklace (left) which is my favourite of the two.

This piece usually retails at 4.51 EURO

The wiring of this one is a tad 'spikey' but is easily fixed.Such a stunningly beautiful necklace for such a low price! Bargain!

I love the super unusual colour of this piece. It is a truly unique piece of jewelry and you can see how well made these two necklaces are close up. (Below)

 I will be wearing these ALL Autumn/Winter because..I mean..look at them! they're perfect for this time of year! 

She also sent me this beautiful, delicate lilac anklet with a leaf charm. And I am in love with it! Its so pretty! This piece retails at 2.19EURO.
